Def Leppard<\/strong> is back with new music. The band just dropped the\u00a0brand new tune “<\/span>Just Like 73<\/strong><\/span><\/a>,” featuring a guitar solo\u00a0by Rage Against The Machine<\/strong>‘s\u00a0Tom Morello<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Like the title suggests, the song has a\u00a0’70s rock vibe, with frontman\u00a0Joe Elliott<\/strong> sharing, \u201cIt encapsulates a time that burned deep into our DNA. We wanted to celebrate that very important and glorious time.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Guitarist Phil Collen<\/strong> adds, \u201cWhen I saw David Bowie<\/strong> on TV between 1972 and 1973, everything I thought I knew about music went from black and white to vivid technicolor. Our song \u2018Just Like 73\u2019 represents that awakening.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Morello shares that he \u201chad a blast rocking a solo\u201d on the tune, noting, \u201cI played \u2018Rock Of Ages\u2019 in my college cover band almost 40 years ago and here Def Leppard are still killing it in stadiums with a brand new tune that\u2019s one of their best.\u201d<\/span>\u00a0<\/p>\n

The single is streaming now on <\/span>digital outlets<\/strong><\/span><\/a>, with a video set to premiere on June 20.\u00a0The tune will also be released on 7-inch black and colored vinyl on Aug. 2\u00a0and can be preordered through\u00a0<\/span>DefLeppard.com<\/strong><\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

“Just Like 73” is the first new music from Def Leppard since they released their 2022 album,\u00a0<\/span>Diamond Star\u00a0Halos<\/span><\/em>. In 2023 they released the new album\u00a0<\/span>Drastic Symphonies<\/span><\/em>, but that featured reworked versions of their classic tunes backed by an orchestra.<\/span>\u00a0<\/p>\n

The song comes as Def Leppard is gearing up to hit the road this summer with Journey<\/strong>. The stadium tour, featuring special guests Steve Miller Band<\/strong>, Heart<\/strong> and Cheap Trick<\/strong>, kicks off July 6 in St. Louis.
