A Little More Than A Lyric Video

Def Leppard just released the official lyric video for their track "Let's Go." Usually this means just a bunch of words swirling around and not much going on in the background. I guess since Def Leppard collectively have more money than God, they were able to put forth a little more effort. The video below is kind of cool. You already know I love the song. I have high hopes for the new Def Leppard album, which is due out at the end of the month.

Let's go . . . play Duke Nukem! No need to comment on the song (done that). So let's take a look-see at the video.

I hate to say it, but it looks like they borrowed the creative talents of those who were behind Iron Maiden's "The Final Frontier" video. Either that, or the guys (I am assuming that) that made the Scorpion's "Rhythm of Love" have improved since 1988.

Helplessly retro . . . but I guess that is sorta' the point. At least it isn't so obviously derivative (like "Let's Get Rocked (And Your Chicks for Free)").

I thought the same thing... (about the similarity in style to Maiden's "Final Frontier").
I still like the Leps, & they were great when I saw them last week, but this song still does absolutely nothing for me.

Catchy and uninspiring. Don't get me wrong, I was singing along. Very pop and borrowed from PourSomeSugarOnMe. However, (since I hear my share of pop these days) the lads from One Direction could have a huge hit if they recorded it! It's the obligatory "oh o-o-o-oooh" after every "Let's Go" Joe sings that the kiddies would love. Truly feel the likes of these guys could make a pretty penny writing saccharin hits.

No new ground for the Leps. Since this is a Hysteria era sound; maybe the rest of the album will have some of the edgier Pyromania/High n Dry sound. We can only hope....

Phew... That was brutal to sit through... Uninspired song is one thing but the video looks like it was made for 5 bucks using people who flunked out of CGI class. Absolutely one of THE worst, if not, THE WORST lyric video for a song that's nearly as stupid.

This whole exercise reminds me when Boston stayed well past their welcome -- I'm talkin' "3rd Stage" and beyond, except way worse.

You would think these guys could really do a better job all the way around. What an excercise in futility! "Barf!" And "Barf" for the video, too!

The lyric video is cool. These kind of videos are the way to go now, so I think they did good on that part.
Like I said before, it sounds like an outtake from Hysteria, and I mean that in a good way, I love Hysteria and all, but do hope the album has the edge of High N Dry or Pyromania. I will still buy the album regardless because I am really excited for this one. Until it drops ill be listening to Wasted and Lady Strange on heavy rotation.

Like I said, a band like Def Leppard dont really have to break new ground for new material in 2015.

Look, DJ... I mean, look literally at just how sh*t that animation is and tell me again why just exactly, you think it's good?
