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.

Phil Collen - 4th April 2015 Interview Quotes - Read More

It blew me away that we got so many things done and honestly I really think this is the best album we've done since Hysteria."

"We'd just treat each song as kind of a different project. And what's another great thing about it is that we broke it up into three different parts. The initial one we got the 12 songs and we pretty much played in the studio and kind of played live. We got the essence of the songs down and again something we don't normally do. And then we went back in May, just before the tour. And also you have a different perspective on it. It sounds different. You change a few things and we went back a third time and just kind of finished stuff off in January. And yeah it's just amazing. I'm thrilled with how it turned out."

Joe Elliott - 2nd April 2015 Interview Quote - Read More

"Yeah it is a busy year and there's a new album coming out about October or so which we're just literally finishing up as I speak to you. We just did a few last minute adjustments to it yesterday and getting ready to launch that at the end of the summer/early autumn. So a very busy year."

"Always different. I think that you know sometimes someone will bring a finished song in Or it'll be an idea - one song actually, this is really interesting. We have a song that me and Joe Elliott wrote in ten minutes. And we've never done that before. We actually - literally got the whole thing done in ten minutes. Joe said I've got this thing and it kind of sounds like a New York Dolls/Sex Pistols-y type thing and he played it. 'I've got this verse' and I said I've got a chorus and it fit seamlessly. So we knocked it together and yeah it was ten minutes at the end of the first session. So it was about a year ago we knocked it together and you know we just finished the song off just a couple of weeks ago."
