Classic Rock Report: Def Leppard Hits Movie Theaters

First it was Vegas. Now Def Leppard. Has gone Hollywood. High tech Digital movie screens and home machines means cha-ching. To help sweeten the pot. The addictive harmonies of the 80's biggest act has elected to give away music. Kinda sorta. The band wants to make a trade. Your email address for the song. Seems fair. But what's this about a movie? The best way to see a concert in 2013 isn't to purchase $100 nose bleed seats in an uptown arena. Nobody gets you closer than the directors and producers of movie theater concert films. It's better than front row! Viva! Hysteria is a concert movie brought to life during the bands Vegas residence earlier in the year. Its Def Leppard's Hysteria performed full, alongside a selection of additional tracks, at the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino. Joe Elliot says, "We’d been asked for many years if we’d ever do it, and the answer was always ‘no’ because we’d be out promoting a new album. When we had no new music to promote, we had a chance to revisit arguably our most important album. It was an easy decision to make.” Viva! Hysteria is released on October 21 in CD/DVD, Blu-ray and other formats.
