It’s a new DEF LEPPARD album, it’s a greatest-hits-plus album, with some rarely heard songs, it’s a live RPO album and we think it’s perfect. An absolute team effort that took a good part of a year. It was an amazingly inspirational process culminating in the live recording of the RPO at Abbey Road studios in London. Recording new parts, remixing previous sounds, taking some of our instruments out so the orchestra could breathe and literally making a new album. The record was released that spring to lukewarm reviews, with many critics. But Def Leppard's music had always employed big, anthemic hooks, and few of the pop-metal bands who had hit the charts in the wake of Pyromania could compete with Leppard's sense of craft certainly none had the pop songwriting savvy to produce seven chart singles from the same album, as the stunningly consistent Hysteria did. We decided to create something special where we would have something classic but present it in a brand new way that would involve making everything work in the context of ‘Drastic Symphonies’. Def Leppard finally completed their fourth album, now titled Hysteria, early in 1987. But we didn’t just want an orchestra plonked over our previous recordings. Produced by DEF LEPPARD, Ronan McHugh and Nick Patrick (producer of the following RPO/orchestral albums - Elvis, Roy Orbison, BEACH BOYS and Buddy Holly) with arrangements by Eric Gorfain ( Neil Diamond, Ryan Adams, Christina Aguilera).ĭEF LEPPARD guitarist Phil Collen says: “When the offer of doing an orchestral album with the RPO was suggested, we were honored. The Royal Philharmonic Orchestra was recorded at Abbey Road in March 2022. This album represents a bold new approach to DEF LEPPARD‘s most loved songs. Although we’re far from the first band to ever do this, working directly with an orchestra at Abbey Road on some of our more orchestrated songs seemed too good of an opportunity to pass up.” The English rock band Def Leppard have released twelve studio albums, two live albums, four compilation albums, and three extended plays. So, when the offer to revisit some of our back catalogue with the Royal Philharmonic was presented to us, to a man we all jumped at it. At different points you can hear vocalist Joe Elliott dueting with his younger self.Įlliott says: “ DEF LEPPARD has always enjoyed veering off the expected path - working with the likes of Tim McGraw, Taylor Swift and Alison Krauss, for example. The album includes new vocals and guitars which culminates in stunningly beautiful symphonic arrangements. By and large, they have intertwined the audio from the original tapes and performed them alongside the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra. DEF LEPPARD have deconstructed and rebuilt not only some of their most well-known tracks but also some of their hidden gems as well.
