Def Leppard Have Unveiled a Song From Their New Album

Built around an inspirational lyric, the mid-tempo anthem sets the stage for Def Leppard’s forthcoming self-titled project, their first since 2008′s Songs from the Sparkle Lounge

Frontman Joe Elliott says “Let’s Go” favorably compares with Def Leppard’s classic era and even links it to one of the biggest comeback stories in the history of rock.

“It has that swaggering, mid-tempo rhythm, like ‘[Pour Some] Sugar [on Me]‘ and ‘Rock of Ages,’” he tells Rolling Stone. “The idea was, we wanted something familiar. I mean, when AC/DC comes back after years away, you’re not going to get ‘Bohemian Rhapsody’ from ‘em, you know? And you don’t want it, either. You want ‘Back in Black,’ or something like it. For us, this is what we do. And it’s something we enjoy doing.”
