Following on from the signed limited edition box set, Definitely: The Official Story of Def Leppard, Genesis and Def Leppard are creating a bookstore edition â€" a more accessible and affordable printing of the book presented in a slimmer, hardcover format.
'We had balls and we were naive, in a good way. We just went out there, full throttle...' - Joe Elliott
'Resilience and drive are at the core of Def Leppard and a big reason why the band has endured.' - Vivian Campbell
'Coming up during the punk era helped us because there were only a couple of bands playing our type of music. People probably took more notice of us because we stood out.' - Rick Savage
'Def Leppard are original, inimitable and, well, I'm gonna say immortal.' - Brian May
'We've been around each other's pain and suffering, as well as the wonderful stuff like kids and marriage. And then when we make music together it's amazing.' - Phil Collen
Despite an average age of only 18, Def Leppard forever transformed the hard-rock scene upon their arrival in 1980, causing a new wave of the genre to erupt. Thinking big from the very start, the blueprint for their music was stated by singer Joe Elliott as 'Queen meets AC/DC.' Current members are Joe Elliott (lead vocals), Rick Savage (bass and vocals), Rick Allen (drums), Phil Collen (guitar and vocals) and Vivian Campbell (guitar and vocals). Past members were Tony Kenning (drums), Pete Willis (guitar) and Steve Clark (guitar). From extensive new text contributions to in-depth archival interviews, every member's voice is present within the book.'We've grown up together. We've all been through a lot and had enough setbacks to realise that we're really strong as a team.' - Rick Allen
These special Publisher's Copies include a Bookstore Edition copy of Definitely presented in a slipcase with an exclusive 8" x 10" photographic print and a facsimile concert ticket. They will be created and made available for a limited time.
'The definitive Def Leppard book, Union Jack shorts and all.' - Classic Rock
Publisher's Copies | £115 |
