I agree with your comment that Mutt seems to make mostly generic love songs, based on the ones of his that I've heard, but he's great at creating harmonies. I actually thought Joe Elliott's voice was pretty good on the new recordings (I'd expected more change). I'll listen more carefully to the musical layering in the older versions of Def Leppard songs, because I hadn't figured out exactly what made the newer versions sound thinner or "cleaner." EDIT: I listened to both the new and the old "Rock of Ages" again and prefer the new one! But I like the original version of "Pour Some Sugar on Me." My new discovery about Def Leppard is that, to my surprise, they didn't just create covers of some of their older songs. They also recently recorded a Def Leppard Lullaby CD (Phil Collen and Vivien Campbell played), following in the footsteps of U2, Zeppelin, Aerosmith and others. Joe Elliott says in an interview: "Instead of sending your kids to sleep with Baa Baa Black Sheep, they fall asleep to A Whole Lot of Love or Pour Some Sugar on Me; bring them up rock and roll style." The Def Leppard Lullaby CD contains 12 of their songs rerecorded in a softened style for children. I was curious how the Def Leppard Lullaby music would sound, hoping it would be a little rough & tumble, with a bit of edge... but no. ![]() Dreamin' With Def Leppard Lullaby CD - "Pour Some Sugar On Me" Def Leppard To Create Lullaby Versions Of 'Love Bites,' 'Animal' & More - Starpulse.com Def Leppard - Pour some sugar on me (Lullaby Version) + DL - YouTube ^ I thought this would horrify you, so I had to mention it. ![]() Quote:
If Def Leppard were truly close friends with producer Mutt Lange, then I think they would have spent some of his 14 years of marriage to Shania actually learning to appreciate the woman he loved, such that they would be happy for her and wish her the best when she rises from the ashes of the relationship Lange burned. My guess is Lange also wishes Shania well after the sadness their marriage became. Hopefully he has enough depth to feel that his friends need not spurn her or avoid expressions of happiness that she rebuilt her life. Loyalty to a friend doesn't mean taking sides. < -- Def Leppard could write about that.
