is there any chance we will get a new studio full album by def lep this year? ...they seem to be almost as bad a van halen lately with things.. I know they are doing their 2 weeks vegas with hysteria ...but thats it. some interviews this past year they talk about working a new album for release "next" year which would be 2013...Then in another interview they talk about maybe just releaseing a song or two via itunes. which I hate that idea. regardless of what people think about their recent production, i am disappointed that since 2002 they have only put out one new original studio album. oh well.

I would hate to think Sparkle Lounge is the album they'd go out on.]]> TYTAN NoticeboardFri, 11 Jan 2013 05:19:15 +1100 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,926139,926194#msg-926194 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,926139,926194#msg-926194 Scott Watson NoticeboardThu, 10 Jan 2013 20:57:55 +1100 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,926139,926176#msg-926176 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,926139,926176#msg-926176
in Def Lep I imagine it'd be Joe ...............or if Phil Collen said "New album or I take my shirt off and kick box your face" I imagine they'd start working on an album. Your shirt's already off phil!]]> the ORIGINAL brent NoticeboardThu, 10 Jan 2013 14:24:34 +1100 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,926139,926169#msg-926169 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,926139,926169#msg-926169If he says they are working on a new album, now that they have re-recorded the hits for iTunes, I imagine they'll be recording an album before long.

I wouldn't hold my breath for anything this year - maybe next Spring at the earliest for a long-overdue new album. If they used Undefeated, Kings Of The World and It's All About Believin' (like they said they might), they already have three songs in the can!]]> Ken NoticeboardThu, 10 Jan 2013 10:51:59 +1100 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,926139,926155#msg-926155 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,926139,926155#msg-926155I think the temptation will probably be too great in the end.

Def Leppard guitarist Vivian Campbell has said he doesn't think it's likely the band will release another full length studio album.

Various band members have stated over the last two years the band would release a few songs at a time or EPs rather than a full album. It should be noted they've also said they would release another album in 2013.

Vivian was responding to a question about the Slang Deluxe Edition from UK fan Justin.

I wondered what the bands expectations for the Slang re-release are? I live in the UK (Sheffield) and truthfully can only remember once in last 10years that Def Leppard were on TV/Radio etc here. I would love to see a brand new, hard rock album advertised to the masses, I think it would do extremely well. Any new AC/DC, Bon Jovi, VH album is allover TV before release. I personally think that DL has a similar audience to the bands mentioned but the only difference (in the UK)is that people are just unaware of the releases.

"The music business is completely different to what it was, Justin. I doubt there'll ever be another album, as such, from Leppard. New songs, yes, but it's difficult to see the point of recording an album in the current musical landscape - especially as Leppard have proven to be notoriously slow at recording. That's just my personal opinion."

"That's just my interpretation, given the musical landscape. I could well be proven wrong."]]> Ken NoticeboardThu, 10 Jan 2013 09:16:39 +1100 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,926139,926143#msg-926143 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,926139,926143#msg-926143-------------------------------------------------------

3-4 songs every six months... And we have a proper album in one year.]]> adolfo NoticeboardThu, 10 Jan 2013 08:14:39 +1100 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,926139,926140#msg-926140 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,926139,926140#msg-926140 mike1990 NoticeboardThu, 10 Jan 2013 08:03:53 +1100 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,926139,926139#msg-926139 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,926139,926139#msg-926139
