Coming hot on the heels of their platinum-certified 2CD hits package "ROCK OF AGES", Def Leppard have announced that they will release their 12th studio album "YEAH!" on May 23, 2006. On their highly anticipated new album, Def Leppard have created a heartfelt and hard rocking tribute to their musical heroes of the late 60's and 70's -the Kinks, Badfinger, T. Rex, David Bowie, Sweet, Roxy Music, Mott the Hoople, Free, Faces, and Thin Lizzy. Recording essential versions of the music that influenced their youth, the band have brilliantly merged the "Now" with the "Then" to create a buzz that can only be summed up in one word: YEAH!
Said Joe Elliott, "I thought it was about time we showed the world what our true roots were... British pop rock from the early to mid 70's. The songs on this album are at least partly responsible for us making the kind of music that we do."
Added Phil Collen, "We didn't want to make the standard covers album and gave this a lot of deep thought as Joe has been going on about doing this sort of project for 26 years. We wanted to express ourselves through these songs and approached the recording process as if they were our own."
The final tracklisting for "YEAH!" is as follows (running order TBA):
(Song) 10538 Overture 20th Century Boy Don't Believe A Word Drive-In Saturday Hanging On The Telephone He's Gonna Step On You Again Hell Raiser Little Bit Of Love No Matter What Rock On Stay With Me Street Life The Golden Age Of Rock & Roll Waterloo Sunset | (Originally recorded by) Electric Light Orchestra in 1972 T.Rex in 1973 Thin Lizzy in 1976 David Bowie in 1973 The Nerves in 1977 & Blondie in 1978 John Kongos in 1971 Sweet in 1973 Free in 1972 Badfinger in 1970 David Essex in 1973 Faces in 1971 Roxy Music in 1973 Mott the Hoople in 1974 The Kinks in 1967 |

Where was that information found? I'm looking at the borgota's website, and I dont' see the July 1st date listed for Def Leopard. I see it listed on pollstar, but no sale date or time for tickets. I'm hoping to pick up tickets for this and make it up there finally.
I haven't seen these guys since the Hysteria days. I can't wait!

Holy sh@t. They announced ticket prices yet?
I just called the borgata to verify the tickets go onsale this sat at 10am since I didn't see anyting on their website.
Ticket prices.. 135 Plus fees, or 105 plus fees.
Looks like I'm not going. I mean 150 bucks a ticket at least after fees for def leppard? F that

I love Def Leppard, but I think the prices are just out of line for this tour. Especially since Journey is minus Steve Perry. I saw them last year with Cheap Trick for a fair amount less than that. The did a couple of the covers in concert and they weren't bad, but not good enough to buy the new CD. I guess they are cashing in while they can.

I caught them during the "Vault" tour in Raleigh, NC. It was about as perfect as musical craftmanship can get. Granted, they had been playing the songs for 20 years, but it a flawless performance.
