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.
