| Def Leppard - Songs From The Sparkle Lounge |
|---|
The new Def Leppard studio album dates as far back as late 2003 when the band originally had the idea to record two albums simultaneaously through 2004. Releasing a covers album quietly in Spring 2004, followed later in the year/the following year by a new studio album. Plans changed but some new songs were written during that time individually. This section traces the history (so far) of this upcoming studio album, the first for 6 years and a return to new music. Featuring a guest appearance by Tim McGraw.

[Phil Collen Aug 2006] - "We have this thing we call The Sparkle Lounge, which is three little tiny Fender amps and a little bass amp. Rick Allen has this tiny little Roland drum kit. You can fit this stuff in the back of a trailer."
[Rick Allen Jun 2005] - "We have this room that we set up at the gigs - we call it The Sparkle Lounge. There's a couple of guitars, some guitar amps, and a small drum kit there and it gives us the opportunity to work out some ideas that people are coming up with."
[Joe Elliott Jul 2006] - "We gather in the 'Sparkle Lounge', as we call it on tour. We have a tiny kit, a couple of amps and guitars, and fairy lights all over the walls to give it a vibe. The crew set up every day."
