Def Leppard publishes “ Just Like 73 », a piece evoking the musical turning point of the seventies.
Ahead of Def Leppard’s summer tour, the band teamed up with Tom Morello for new single ” Just Like 73 “.
According to the band, this stadium-friendly track harkens back to the early seventies, capturing the music and technological advances of the era.
“ When I saw David Bowie on television between 1972 and 1973, everything I thought I knew about music went from black and white to technicolorsaid Def Leppard guitarist Phil Collen in a statement. Our song ” Just Like 73″ represents this awakening. »
Joe Elliott added of the single: “ It sums up an era that is deeply ingrained in our DNA. We wanted to celebrate this very important and glorious time. »
Tom Morello, who also announced his new solo album on Wednesday, Soldier in the Army of Love, appears mid-song to deliver one of his signature guitar solos. “ I had a blast doing a solo on “ Just Like 73,” the guitarist explained in a press release. I played ‘Rock Of Ages’ in my cover band in college almost 40 years ago and here Def Leppard continues to wreak havoc on stadiums with a brand new track that is one of their best. »
