Drastic Symphonies

Product Information

We had to be over the whole career. I mean we didn't touch On Through The Night. I suppose we could have done Overture. And we really sing them live. So again another thing we're really proud of 'cause we work our asses off Cause it's like again what we're saying about we didn't just want to plonk on orchestra over our stuff and leave it at that." It’s a new Def Leppard album, it’s a greatest hits plus album, with some rarely heard songs, it’s a live RPO album and we think it’s perfect. We’re so proud of how ‘Drastic Symphonies’ turned out and can’t wait to share it to the world.” He wasn't just a great producer, and an engineer by the way. 'Cause he could've been nonchalantly just sat there with a pipe

The band spoke in detail about their collaboration with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra and the making of Drastic Symphonies in a recent interview with Talk Shop Live, where guitarist Phil Collen said, “”When you hear an orchestra I mean it gives you goosebumps anyway. But that particular orchestra, you know, they’re amazing. That’s the guys you want you know.” And they were written very symphonically. I think that's why it worked in the first place. When I first played

Def Leppard go orchestral on Drastic Symphonies: treading water has never sounded so legacy-enhancing

Then I watched “Bank Of Dave” on Netflix. The last scene is Leppard belting some tunes out and you think: man these boys are alright you know. As they’ve proved, yet again by playing a gig to stop a venue in their hometown closing.

I went to a Bowie gig in Dublin,” Joe recalls, “and it was Mark Plati, who was Bowie’s bassist and co-producer, who introduced me to Emm. He said, ‘You’ve got to meet her – she’s a huge Leppard fan!’ So we got talking and she said, ‘I’ve done a jazz piano version of Sugar.’ So there wasn't really a great deal to take away so there didn't seem to be any point to try and change

28 rock bands named after real people:

If the whole orchestra just pissed off and left me in the empty room, I might have had a little tinkle on a piano or something,” he says. “But I’m not going to do it in front of somebody that’s studied for years to hone their craft. That would be like me trying to play for Argentina in the World Cup!” Frankly, if Def Leppard want to go in the studio and record orchestral versions of 16 of their songs, they don’t have to answer to anyone. They just have to pass the Bon Jovi test.

Def Leppard released a teaser video featuring band members promoting Drastic Symphonies (and the “Animal” Director’s Cut music video release): But we were always leaning that way with that song. It had, it wasn't really like Procession by Queen off Queen II, We were in awe watching these guys,” Joe says. “Everything sounded so perfect. I remember being down the front at an AC/DC gig at the Sheffield Top Rank in 1976. All I could hear was Angus. And I couldn’t hear for three days afterwards. But with the orchestra, the balances were never out of sync – from the cellos all the way down to a little plinky triangle. You’re just standing there thinking, ‘These guys know what they’re doing.’” Def Leppard: Drastic Symphonies (With The Royal Philharmonic Orchestra) has officially been announced! Release date is May 19, 2023. Well Bringin' On The Heartbreak is one of the few songs on the album that we didn't really mess with the
