I agree with your statement regarding Euphoria, That album was a disappointment to me after the first listen, not to say it wasnt a good album but they were trying way to hard to copy the Pyromania and Hyteria albums. Paper Sun and Day After Day are standout tracks, i would like to see the next album go in that direction ( Paper Sun, Day After Day) maybe a little more of a raw sound and acoustic drums though. On thing Euphoria proved is that they no longer need Mutt around , not to disrepect him the guy is a genious but a couple of the tracks he lent a hand on were some of the worst songs on the album. I still cringe when i hear All Night or Back In Your Face though, way to cheesy.
Back in your face is a disgrace - it was also a single!
There are quite a number of songs on there that are so cheesy and downright embrarrasing that my estimation of the album has plumeted.
I've tried to fight those that say the same - but Leppard since Steve Clarke....well....
Quote
Other Leppard news, I have heard from a more than reliable source that the reasoning for the delay regarding the covers album Yeah! is that a box set is on the way to celebrate the bands 25th aniversary
A box set?
Horrah for the greedy record label
I already have all THREE best ofs - do i really need a box set? I have 'Can't keep away from the flame', Waterloo Sunset' and 'No matter what' - really, what can they give me?
With any luck every single B-side, demo, acoustic version, live version, outtake, early recordings etc they have ever done would be present - that would get me to part with my money -? but i have just about every Leppard song on about 4 different formats.....

Euphoria was a great album still. There was plenty of cheese on it, however the great ones overshadowed the cheese me thinks....

After spending most of their career under the management of Peter Mensch and Cliff Bernstein at Q-Prime Management, DEF LEPPARD have jumped ship to sign with Trudy Green at HK Management, according to Hits Daily Double. HK, which is now part of Irving Azoff's Frontline Management, has looked after such artists as AEROSMITH, POISON, MICHAEL JACKSON and Slash (VELVET REVOLVER, ex-GUNS N' ROSES).
DEF LEPPARD recently pushed back the release date of their all-covers set, entitled "Yeah!", to late 2005/early 2006 from the previously announced September 20. No reason was given for the delay. Guitarist Phil Collen told Billboard.com that the song list for the set had yet to be finalized, as the group decided to record more cuts than it originally planned. He confirmed that the album will include "a bunch of stuff ? all '70s stuff. Most of it is songs that we grew up with in England. 'No Matter What' by BADFINGER is going to be the leadoff single. We've done 'Waterloo Sunset' by THE KINKS, T. REX, MOTT THE HOOPLE, ROXY MUSIC and THIN LIZZY. And a lot of it is obscure; it's not the standard stuff. It's not like STONES or BEATLES songs."

Best career move they have done in ages. Q PRime have done absolutely nothing for the band in recent years. I still dont get the Leppard fans over at there OS forum, they have been bitching about a change and they finally do it, now some of them are crying about the change , i really do not understand that bunch over on that forum.

Back In Your Face rocks. People just don't get it. It's supposed to be a throwback to the 70s glam scene.
It's got a killer rhyme scheme. It's catchy as hell. It's totally Def Leppard.

Holy cow, LR wrote that song!
Wow!?
No, it was written by the Hector/Robinson writing team. It first appeared on X, but then Lionel Ritchie recorded it later. And the stupid record company fucked Def Leppard over it because they said they were gonna release it as a single for X, but then refused to do so in the US. Then they again lied to the band saying that if they do the new Greatest Hits (which is pretty stupid cuz Def Leppard haven't really had any new hits since the Vault) they would use LLWTG as single for the new GH. But the record company reneged? because they allegedly had promised LR that they will release his version of the single beforehand and it would be bad if both DL and LR had the same song out as a single. As far as I'm concerned, this is all bullshit and I can't believe Def Leppard are stupid enough to stay with that record company that has turned them into the laughingstock of the rock world. Island/Def Jam makes them do poppy songs like LLWTG (which is not even written by them) which alienate many of their die hard fans, but at the same time refuses to promote them as a pop band. It's insane. If Def Leppard weren't stupid enough not to sue their record company, they can win huge settlement cuz I've never seen a band fucked over so bad by a record company. At least if they had done classic Lep records like Pyro, they would have probably been able to consistently score gold and platinum records just from their die hards like AC/DC.

Can't disagree more - the song is terrible, its just cringe inducing. Its dated and silly, and nothing like their earlier stuff
Euphoria ultimately fails because it lacks that hard edge that Steve Clark gave the band. Leppard have lost their metal leanings. Next album needs some real aggresion from all concerned

Why is it that every time a band member dies, people always say, they lost this and that when so and so died? I seriously think that if Steve was alive, they would have probably evolved the exact same way as a band and he would have ended up toning down his edge. After all, Vivian was one bad ass guitar player when he was in Dio. And the same thing goes for Cliff Burton and Metallica. That said, I agree with you about the next album, but I seriously doubt we will get any aggression. I think I remember reading somewhere one of the band members saying that the next album will be somewhere between X and the 70s covers album they are working on. That's a recipe for disaster if you ask me, and I actually liked X, sorta. I've pretty much written them off though. Look at Bon Jovi, like 'em or not, since their last album came out, they released a greatest hits "with a twist" album. Last year, they released a great box set with 4 disks worth of unreleased stuff and a DVD. This year they have new album coming out, with pretty good prospects of being a hit. X came out before Bon Jovi's last studio album, but what did Def Leppard do in the meantime? They repackaged their Greatest Hits album. That's it! They allegedly working on a stupid covers album that almost none of the fans care for, but even that hasn't come out. And new material? NOWHERE IN SIGHT.

I used to think along similiar lines - but the more i listen to Euphoria it becomes more and more apparent.

The Yeah! album an early mix of it was leaked a few weeks ago. It isnt to bad. Pretty raw considering Def Leppard's usual production which is a needed change. The only song that really blows is the Rock On cover. The standout track is Hellraiser with the singer from the Darkness. Anyone else have any opinions who have heard it ?

Havn't heard it - but a leak is clealt deliberate, i think thats an insiders way of protesting at the delay
If it has leaked then the label have to release the album asap, convenient way to get around a delay me thinks

Went to Def Leppard in August, and I must say,"what the hell has happened to Joe's voice!." The show was way to loud, and the sound was terrible. Of coarse it doesn't help when there's only 3,500 people in a 12,000 seat arena.

Def Leppard and Bryan Adams could only pull in 3,500?
I know what u mean about the show being way to loud - i saw them a year or two back, and the sound was all wrong - atleast two of the songs i still haven't been able to work out what they even where!
It was good to see them live though

This past summer when i seen them, they were right on. I have never been disappointed at a Leppard show. I do agree Joe Elliott cant hit the high notes anymore probably due from smoking but i think Joe sounds better in a lower register, like the song 'Work It Out' .I have yet to buy any tickets for this leg of the tour, i wanna see what the setlists are like first.
