But it’s a good thing they didn’t, because the album that resulted from their very real battle against extinction turned out to be one of the classic British rock albums.īy February 1984 Def Leppard were already a big deal – well, in the USA anyway. Perhaps if they’d known exactly how much ‘whatever it took’ would turn out to be, they’d have knocked it on the head and got a job at B&Q.
Hysteria (feat.Def Leppard were under no illusions about what they wanted to do: they wanted to become the biggest band in the world, and were prepared to do whatever it took to achieve their ambition. We’re so proud of how ‘Drastic Symphonies’ turned out and can’t wait to share it to the world."

"It’s a new Def Leppard album, it’s a greatest hits plus album, with some rarely heard songs, it’s a live RPO album and we think it’s perfect. An absolute team effort that took a good part of a year." " It was an amazingly inspirational process culminating in the live recording of the RPO at Abbey Road studios in London. "Recording new parts, remixing previous sounds, taking some of our instruments out so the orchestra could breathe and literally making a new album." "We decided to create something special where we would have something classic but present it in a brand-new way that would involve making everything work in the context of ‘Drastic Symphonies’." But we didn’t just want an orchestra plonked over our previous recordings." "When the offer of doing an orchestral album with the RPO was suggested we were honoured. "Although we’re far from the first band to ever do this, working directly with an orchestra at Abbey Road on some of our more orchestrated songs seemed too good of an opportunity to pass up." "So, when the offer to revisit some of our back catalogue with the Royal Philharmonic was presented to us, to a man we all jumped at it." "Def Leppard has always enjoyed veering off the expected path - working with the likes of Tim McGraw, Taylor Swift & Alison Krauss for example."
