Just bought the new Def Lep CD yesterday. It's the first Def Lep cd I've gotten in many, many years. Some highlights for me are the covers of T.Rex's 20th Century Boy, The Kinks' Waterloo Sunset, Sweet's Hellraiser, Blondie's Hangin' On The Telephone and Badfinger's No Matter What.
But the best (imo) is the cover of Faces' Stay With Me which is sung by guitarist Phil Collen. This song kicks ass! I had no idea Phil could sing like that! It's my favorite track on this album.

Thanks Hojam! I was debating picking this up but now that I know they kick ass on Stay With Me(I'm a huge fan of the Faces)I'll definately buy it.I heard their version of No Matter What & thought it was pretty good(I'm kind of partial to Badfinger's version because that is my favorite song of all-time).It's definately better than Lillian Axe's version

Don't know if I'll pick this up, but I did hear their version of Thin Lizzy's "Don't Believe A Word" and it did sound pretty good, I'll give them that. Of course it just made me pull out my Lizzy albums to hear the original, but all in all not bad.  |

It's all good to me. Don't think too much into it, rock n roll was not meant to be over analyzed, just ask the AC/DC, KISS and the New York Dolls fans.....like me. "Stay With Me" by Phil Collen is f*cking awesome, killer vocals!  |

THIS IS A GREAT CD. I'VE FOUND MYSELF BORROWING IT FROM MY SON ALL WEEK. AND THE PICKLE IS RIGHT.. STAY WITH ME IS A STANDOUT TRACK.

Didn't they already put the Badfinger song on the 'Rock of Ages Anthology'?

I agree with that statement. I'm a die hard fan of the first two heavier records with the original members but Phil did knock this one out of the park. I wish the rest of this record was the same quality but it isn't bad. Phil should think about singing some originals on their next release. |

It's a good album. I liked it from the moment I heard it [months ago...ah file sharing is wonderful!].
Not all of the songs work but Stay With Me and, in particular, Hanging On The Telephone are excellent.

I agree that the album is awesome. I must admit though that I can't judge many of the songs as covers since many of the original artists are foreign to me. However, Def Leppard has recorded these songs as if they were their own, and I think this cover album is just as good, if not better, than the recent Styx cover album.
