New Leppard tune "Undefeated"

[RedWingFan]

Tim McGraw, from what I hear, is a huge fan and attends Def Lep concerts. So it was one of those deals, where when they met back stage after a concert, they told Tim they'd like to record with him, and he agreed and it happened. Who know!

Actually it's Swift who is a fan because her mother is an uber-fan. Rick Allen's brother or brother-in-law (can't remember which) manages McGraw. That's how they got together.

Yes, that is true Tim is connected that way, but he IS a fan too. And I've read almost every DL interview there is and I remember Tim going back stage to hang with them, and they had this discussion supposedly. I think there are pics of he and Faith at a DL concert somewhere. And yes, I know Taylor is a fan too. That YouTube of them is from a CMT channel show that Def Lep appeared on with her.

Here is just one of the articles that talks about the Tim McGraw collaboration. Tim and Faith attended the concert, and Tim got on stage and sang PSSOM for the encore. I don't think it was planned though.

Iconic rockers Def Leppard and Tim McGraw will add another notch to their belts of legendary rock anthems when 'Nine Lives'-the highly anticipated first single off Def Leppard's new studio album, Songs From The Sparkle Lounge (April 29, Bludgeon Riffola/Island/UMe)-becomes the featured track in a special opening segment recorded for NBA games airing on ABC. The open will be featured on game broadcasts on ABC through the rest of the season and on ABC and ESPN into the playoffs.
Exclusive new video footage was recently shot for the special opening segment with both artists in Los Angeles last week. The video will debut this Sunday, March 9th on ABC as the lead-in to the NBA game between the San Antonio Spurs and Phoenix Suns at 3:30 p.m. ET.

"The relationship for NBA on ABC to feature the pairing of 2 iconic artist with Def Leppard and Tim McGraw is the perfect evolution of the music associated with NBA broadcast that has included Black Eyed Peas, Rob Thomas, Destiny's Child and Tom Petty". David Saltz, Executive Producer for Music at ABC

The foundation for the album's collaboration with McGraw was laid at Def Leppard's 2006 Hollywood Bowl show where McGraw joined the band on stage for an encore performance of 'Pour Some Sugar on Me.' The artists stayed in touch following the performance, and when the band started writing the song 'Nine Lives' they immediately thought of reaching out to McGraw to sing on it. Guitarist Phil Collen flew to Nashville to play it for McGraw, who loved it and recorded the song in Nashville shortly after.

The 11-track Songs From The Sparkle Lounge is Def Leppard's first album of brand new material since 2002's X and begins yet another remarkable new chapter in the band's 30-year recording career. Recorded last year during month-long stints at lead singer Joe Elliott's Dublin studio, the album's title refers to a backstage area called 'The Sparkle Lounge' on Def Leppard's 2006 tour where the band would go to write songs.

Like mentioned a few floors down, lol, I've wondered, after Steve's death, if Pete would have even come back if they had asked him. Haven't seen a thing about him since DL's Behind the Music, when he briefly talked about his departure from DL.

For some reason, I kind of get a vibe from interviews with the band (Joe in particular) that they wouldn't ask him back if he were the last guitarist on earth. After

hearing this tune many times now, I can live with it. They will never do another HND or PYRO, the sound will ALWAYS be in the vein of Hysteria and I'll just have

to be satisfied with that!
