Damn, just when I thought the line up couldn't get any better.
So this begs the question... why would Def Leppard do this? Why go country? I think the greater question though is, why WOULDN'T they? White people are pretty much listening to anything but rock anymore these days, so why *not* go for the one remaining musical mainline into the hearts and minds of the non-rhythm craving whiteys everywhere. Stroke of genius really.
To celebrate this occasion, I'm offering up a pair of videos to celebrate Def Leppard's excellent decision making.
First up, some class old school Leppard from their more "rebellious" days:
And next up, some amazing new school Leppard (featuring Tim McGraw no less) that you may or may not have known existed:
Tim McGraw kinda steals the spotlight a bit, but you know what? The one armed Leppard drummer still holds it down. There. I know you were thinking it, so I had to say it.
wow. yes, i was thinking about it.
