Ready for a little glam-rock stomp? 🎸 “Kick” began as a stadium anthem with glam-rock influences. It wasn’t originally intended for Def Leppard, but Joe heard it and knew it belonged. The track became the final song added to Diamond Star Halos. Rediscover “Kick” on Volume 4, Album Two: Diamond Star Halos. Pre-order the vinyl and CD collections at defleppard.lnk.to/VolumeFour

Ready for the lights to go down? ⚡️ Sav brought in the musical idea, and the band shaped “Let’s Go” into an anthem about the anticipation of stepping onstage. Joe described the song as an anthemic "call to arms". Rediscover “Let’s Go” on Volume 4, Album One: Def Leppard. Pre-order the vinyl and CD collections at defleppard.lnk.to/VolumeFour

Joe on "Hysteria" - 'Rick thought of the title in hospital because people were trying to climb up laundry chutes to get photos of him. If memory serves. The verse was Sav’s. Phil wrote the bridge and the chorus came from Steve. Mutt, Phil, Sav and I wrote the lyrics. There are actually 11 different guitar parts. We glued all those elements together like a model kit and they worked perfectly.' Rediscover “Hysteria” on Volume 4, Album Three: Drastic Symphonies.

#OnThisDay in 2015, Def Leppard released their self-titled album. The record was their eleventh studio album and became their seventh top ten album on the Billboard 200, debuting at number 10. "We personally didn’t even expect to do an album when we first went into the studio! We just wanted to embrace our influences and write a few songs we could be proud of." - Joe 🎧 defleppard.lnk.to/DefLeppard

“Animal” took the long road to becoming the song we know, taking nearly three years for it to come together. After Joe recorded a lead vocal in Paris over a drum-machine track, the band loved it so much that they kept it and completely rewrote and re-recorded the instrumental.
