DEF LEPPARD: New Trailer For Las Vegas Residency Available - Jan. 16, 2013
A new one-minute trailer for DEF LEPPARD's upcoming Las Vegas shows can be seen below.

DEF LEPPARD will play its 1987 album, "Hysteria", in its entirety as part of the Las Vegas residency, which is scheduled to kick off at the end of March.

Viva Hysteria! follows Hard Rock residencies from MÖTLEY CRÜE and GUNS N' ROSES.

Tickets are on sale now and start at $49.50, with floor seats going for $125.

Speaking to Vegas.com, DEF LEPPARD guitarist Phil Collen stated about the band's decision to do the Vegas residency: "A lot of other bands do this stuff, but I think it's a little bit more special because 'Hysteria' was one of the diamond albums, especially in this day and age there are not that many albums that achieve that kind of status. That's why it's so important to us; it's such a big-selling album. It's a challenge as well. We've never actually done that before. We've always said yeah we could do 'High 'n' Dry'. 'Hysteria', that's a lot more challenging. A lot of the songs on there are hard to sing and play at the same time."

Asked what sort of preparation the band has to go through to be able to play the entire "Hysteria" LP live, Collen said: "We've been playing several songs off of Hysteria'. Even this summer on the tour we did with POISON, we were playing seven of the songs because we had seven singles off the record… So much went into that record, that we've been playing the hits for 25 years now. Some of the other tracks on the album, just going back and listening to the whole thing, you realize just how much went into that record. Obviously [producer] Mutt Lange had a massive influence, and the whole thing about that, so we're just totally excited. They are such amazing arrangements that you forget."

Regarding what he thinks it was about that album that continues to attract fans today, Collen said: "Mutt Lange is a genius. He said we can do an ultimate rock album or we can do a rock version of 'Thriller', where we have seven hit singles. But to do that, you have to put the extra effort in. The attitude when the album came out, a lot of people didn't like it. They thought, oh this is too pop or they didn't understand the crossover because it's a perfect hybrid between rock and pop. If you look at Mutt Lange's track record, his biggest successes are, for example, Shania Twain. He definitely brought country to the masses. He successfully fused rock, pop music with country, and I never thought I'd see the day. I remember being in Japan and hearing Shana Twain when I was going up and down in an elevator. That, for us, like I said, it was the perfect hybrid of pop and rock that was actually acceptable. A lot of rock fans didn't like it at first, but by the end of that year, everyone had the record. You couldn't really escape the whole thing. It was pop music, but done rock. We kicked our ass on it. It was very different from anything that had come before it, actually."

I love Hysteria and High 'N' Dry but the best album Def Leppard ever made was Pyromania.

I think Pyromania is one of the best rock albums of all-time. From start to finish it's flawless.

Pyromania is not bad, not bad at all, but OTTN and HAD are more rocking and somehow less outdated than Pyromania, maybe because of its pop (very little, more notable in Hysteria) elements. Well, as usual, a matter of opinion.

High N Dry and Hysteria are good albums but Pyromania is their best and one of the greatest rock albums ever.

I saw Leppard and Journey in 06. Journey blew them away!
Joe Elliott is one of the worst live singers. He needs "studio magic" to sound good. A couple of years ago they were on one of the talk shows and my wife asked me to DVR it. When we played it back, we both threw up in our mouths.
That being said, the first 3 albums rocked!

I hope they take this nationwide. Bring the In the round stage set

back, raise Steve Clark from the netherworld and you got a deal.

Just hearing "Run Riot" and "Don't shoot shotgun" played live would

be worth the price of admission.
