A new lyric video for this song was released via YouTube on 2nd October.

Track 2 Dangerous was premiered on 16th October via the Billboard website.

Classic Rock recently revealed the front cover of the Limited Edition Fanpack released in the UK on 30th October.

The album recording started in February 2014 when the band thought they might record one or two songs for a possible online release.

They ended up with 12 in that first session and decided to make a full album. This countdown tells the story of the album over the 2014/2015 recording period as told by the band in various interviews.

"But yeah it was a great experience making the record. We initially started to cover - we wanted to get the rock element so we set up and played live in the studio. Which is something we haven't done since '96. So we got that - the first few songs that we got in the can were rock tracks. So we ticked that box and then we moved on to the more - you know the writing to order. OK what else do we need for this kinda of record. It's a very diverse record but it definitely sounds like Def Leppard. It's got all the elements throughout the band's career."

"I did miss a bit of the recording though as you mentioned we just finished a new record. We've been working on over the last year and we did that in three instalments in Dublin. And I was there for the first and I was there for the last but I missed the middle part due to having to do treatment. And on that subject I gotta say in the 23 years, even though I'm the new guy in Def Leppard, in the 23 years I've been in the band this is the band's strongest album. In that time and we're really excited about this. So that's the good news, the bad news is I actually didn't have that much to do with it. So that speaks volumes right there."

"You know I was dealing with some health stuff over the last couple of years. So I was there at the start of the record when we started last February in Dublin. And I've missed a couple of the middle sessions and then I was just in Dublin a few weeks ago finishing up. And it really only started to come together, to my ears - in this last session, really in the last six weeks. And it's really a diverse record but it's a really, really strong record. We've got good rock elements. We've got psychedelic elements. We've got the pop element. We just - we touched a lot of bases but it's a very comprehensive and very strong sounding record."
