Ah, Def Leppard. I still remember watching "Pour Some Sugar on Me" air on MTV for its 1987 premiere. I thought to myself, these are true GODS of rock, capable of bringing down the heavens with their mighty riffs and mutilated jeans. Over twenty years later, even though they fall into the aging rockers category, I still find myself thinking quite fondly of them every time I hear "Photograph" on the radio.
Combine all that with the recent word that Def Leppard may be contributing three of their classic songs to
Guitar Hero 4, and you can imagine I was in quite a bit of a tizzy this morning (the good kind, of course. ) It seems the band was featured on a radio show called
Rockline to promote their upcoming album
The Sparkle Lounge when guitarist Phil Collen mentioned the topic. The three songs in
GH4 would be Photograph, Animal and Rock of Ages.
The only reason this is listed as a rumortoid is that the radio show isn't available to stream until April 29th, which is when the new album will be released. It sounds very possible though, as Activision seem to have been on top of making sure
classic bands are making it into their GH games. The sooner this news is officially confirmed, the better. I'm totally listening to the whole
Hysteria album right now in frantic anticipation.

Yawn.
I found it interesting how three songs were given.
Three being the magic number, why do I get the feeling this might turn out to be a DLC pack.
Now i can sing about pouring sugar on myself while i actually do it. Talk about living the dream.
Wait, this is a guitar hero DL? I wont have any hands free for the sugar bowl...
Guitar Hero is old news....ROCK BAND!
No confirmation yet, so I couldn't write it in the article, but it sure does sound like a DLC pack to me.
I'm guessing its a DLC... which is kinda cool, but I dont have Guitar Hero 3...
Why GH? Why not Rock Band? Rock band NEEDS def leppard.
@ Techno
Activison offered more money.
Great! Animal and Rock of Ages will be fucking brilliant in that game!
Please not Def Leppard.
Cheesiest band ever.
Rock Band doesn't need Def Leppard. I could only imagine how easy the drum bits would be.
Def Leppard puts on betters shows today than most of the "current" bands.
Can't wait for GH4...Though I still hope Hysteria and Pyromania become Rock Band albums.
If they do in fact release it for Rock Band, You would definetly have to play the drums with one arm.
I'm totally done with Guitar Hero, needs moar Rock Band.
GH can suck it. Their notecharts suck.
Def Leppard? zzzzzzzzz
Guitar Hero? zzzzzzzzz
Neversoft really screwed the franchise.

I honestly could care less about Def Leppard.
Rock of Ages! I can't say GHIII's DLC has wowed me so far; I'm glad I bought Rock Band instead.
