Generally speaking, it’s time to worry when the term long-awaited gets appended to an album. Long-awaited doesn’t just mean that the band in question took its sweet time delivering the disc; usually, it’s industry code for “bloated and overblown.” The grown-ups decided to talk. Her people and ours. We spent a week learning Love Story – I sang it from a male point of view. It was just fascinating to work with her. They filmed two nights and composed a show out of them. Us and Taylor Swift, it was a 10- day project. The show was nominated for awards. We closed the 2009 Country Awards with Taylor doing Pour Some Sugar On Me. We love to do things that aren’t what everyone expects.” Have You Ever Needed Someone So Bad is more like Have You Ever Needed A Song So Bad ... and that song is Bringing on the Heartbreak. Def Leppard wrote "sadness" better in 1981. I Wanna Touch U

We closed the 2009 Country Awards with Taylor doing Pour Some Sugar On Me. We love to do things that aren’t what everyone expects — Joe Elliott There was a deeper realisation that for Elliott was heartbreaking: “Steve was the nicest guy in the world. But he was a very complex person. I’d known for years, but I didn’t know him at all. He had everything, yet he had nothing. You do your best to help. The chorus pedal'd clean guitars are staples of the Def Leppard sound, almost as much as the heavy synth drums and the "Def Leppard Chorus". Decent tune. Fluttery guitar solo from Collen's magic fingers. Elliot name drops Stairway To Heaven. Bold choice.We’re not the same. Of course we’re not the same. The Rolling Stones aren’t the same. They’re still The Rolling Stones. I have fantastic and fond memories of Steve. He was an incredibly creative soul. There isn’t a day he doesn’t come into our consciousness. He’s either on a retro T-shirt design I have to approve, or I walk past a poster that’s got his face on it.” They’ve continued to surprise fans with their latest two records, Elliott feels. Diamond Star Halos – the title from a lyric by Marc Bolan – is luxuriant glam-pop. And Drastic Symphonies brings orchestral pomp and ceremony to the Leppard songbook. What a great position to be in as they steam forward into their sixth decade. The last gig we did in America on the Pyromania tour was a stadium. Mötley were put on the bill,” recalls Elliott. “That was the first time we came across them. And then, in the 1980s, you couldn’t get away from them. They were notorious: and not necessarily for their music. But for everything. They were Mötley Crüe. Seriously, though, there’s some great music – if you can get past the energy they put out.” Lovable fluff. Like Personal Property, I Wanna Touch U would be a hit for other bands, but never ascends to Def Leppard's lofty standard. Key change to keep it interesting though. I do so love me a key change. Tear It Down This song has it all, huge riff, impactful solo, a bad ass "Def Leppard chorus", and tons of energy. I always envisioned this song was the epicenter of what it meant to be Def Leppard - the bridge between all the songs written prior and all those that followed. Tear It Down represents the changing of the guard from Steve Steamin' Clark to Vivian Campbell (an amazing guitar player in his own right).

Nor is Adrenalize, with its insistence on intensely tuneful, unrepentantly frivolous material, likely to change that. There’s no overriding concept to the album, no sense of the group’s confronting its demons or wrestling with the problems of the world; instead, what we get is a seemingly unending string of energetic, hook-heavy, gosh-we-luv-’em songs about girls. A perfect Def Leppard album, in other words. Def Leppard, it transpires, were very much up for working with Taylor Swift too. The love-in blossomed and, in 2008, these two acts from very different worlds appeared together on the County Music Television show, Crossroads. They collaborated on Swift’s Love Story and Def Leppard’s Photograph, one of the big singles off Pyromania. But it is his friendship with Bono and U2 that is particularly enduring. While you wouldn’t think it from their music, they have a great deal in common. Their reasons for carrying on after Clark’s death and recruiting as his replacement Lisburn guitarist Vivian Campbell were pragmatic. Def Leppard still felt they had something to say. But they also felt Clark would approve.

I know it’s a terrible cliche, to say this is what he would have wanted ... We genuinely did think Steve would have wanted us to carry on. He wasn’t in a great place when he died. He’d been through rehab. He was a self-proclaimed alcoholic. We knew that. He would say, in his more morbid periods, ‘You guys would be better off without me’. We would rally around and go, ‘No, we wouldn’t – we don’t want to be without you’.” Guld- och Platinacertifikat − År 1987−1998" (PDF) (in Swedish). IFPI Sweden.

On April 20, the new-look Def Leppard performed at the Freddie Mercury Tribute Concert For Aids Awareness at Wembley Stadium, at which the surviving members of Queen, joined by a stellar supporting cast including David Bowie, Robert Plant, Elton John, Guns N’ Roses and Metallica, paid tribute to their late singer. With an audience of 80,000 in the stadium and more than a billion people watching on live TV, it was the perfect set-up for Leppard’s forthcoming world tour.

And there are hooks of every sort on Adrenalize, from broad strokes like the gloriously harmonized chorus of “Heaven Is” to ear-catching details like the little yodel Elliott slips into “Personal Property.” Adrenalize is so relentlessly catchy that it almost seems as if the band is about to abandon its heavy-metal roots for the greener fields of hard pop. That’s not to say the album is any softer than its predecessors — certainly the crunchy guitars of “Tear It Down” or “Make Love Like a Man” are proof to the contrary — just that it’s not as noisily aggressive.

Because truth be told, it’s far easier to prop up several couplets of self-revelation with a few heavy-metal riffs than it is to turn an idea as commonplace as romantic desire into a song as memorable as “Have You Ever Needed Someone So Bad.” But that’s what Def Leppard does best, and Adrenalize is the band’s most consistent effort to date.
