Great review. I'm actually most excited about the Blu-Ray Audio. Can't wait to hear the intro to Die Hard the Hunter in Dolby Atmos. Also, that Dortmund CD is from a show that is some of the best audio and video we have from the Pyromania tour on KZfaq. Look up "DEF LEPPARD - Live In Germany: Part 1 (Rockpop In Concert, 18.12.1983) OFFICIAL" and there is also a Part 2.

I think I'm going to take your advice and get the 2 cd version and 2009 2 cd version separately, which will give me the rarities and the live concert with the remastered album. Also thinking about getting a couple of live concert cd/dvd sets as well to include in my collection. I have most of their studio albums and Rock of Ages Compilation, so these additions would be cool. I saw Def Leppard in Sunnyvale, California just when Rick Allen was coming back from his accident and was playing his modified drum set. Truly amazing for Rick to have come overcome his disability to just as great and the band to give him the time and support he needed to accomplish that. This band are full of heroes in my book. When I first heard them before the release of the first album, I knew they were destined to be great. I have not been disappointed ever since.

I really hope that Bon Jovi can do some in-depth stuff like this I know the New Jersey box was great, but they seemed to abandon doing things like that. I know there is plenty of b sides, especially when they exploded in Europe tons of cd singles had bonus content. Though years ago they did remastering they should do much more, how "Slippery" didnt get something I have no idea, and the 40th for the debut just being digital and not very thought out was an odd thing.

Have you watched the documentary on Hulu yet called Thank You, Goodnight? All through the 4 episodes it shows Jon going through archiving cassettes of old recordings that have never been released. I’m hoping it’s because they’re working on a big boxset. But also keep in mind they already released the 4 CD boxset called 100,000,000 Bon Jovi Fans Can’t Be Wrong which featured all unreleased songs. That’s quite a vault clearing.

@@BrendonSnyder Yes I watched it all and saw all that I am hopefully they do something like that. The doc was very very interesting with the whole Sambora thing, I also find it odd he releases new songs as this doc hits streaming, but I can tell there is a lot of issues in bringing in Shanks and really taking his part away on the "What About Now" record mainly the song "Fighter" for me I am not a fan of that record and honestly I can side with Richie on that and how he felt about it, I agree his opinions may have put other band members "off" a bit but I do agree that album was a mess most of the time, a few good songs just overloaded.

@lakerfan2874 3 ай бұрын

Did COVID push everything back a year or two? Pyromania came out in 83, ACDC formed in 73, and they're putting out 50th Anniversary stuff, and Machine Head came out in 72, and it's having a 50th Anniversary celebration in its 52nd year of existence. The math ain't mathing, and it's worrisome since REO Speedwagon release Wheels Are Turnin' in 84, so they'll either re-release it for its 40th Anniversary either this year, next year, or in 2026.

@BrendonSnyder 3 ай бұрын

No lots of bands seem to be doing their anniversary releases one year late. GNR is another one that’s released its albums one year past. I’m sure there is some logic to it, meaning it’s truly been 40 years and not released while it’s still 39 turning 40 or something like that.

@@JIF882 No, he didn’t say anything to that effect at all… And it’s all so very easy to come up with convenient excuses after the fact to explain away what he meant to say or didn’t say in the moment, but the fact of the matter is, in pointing out other key bands and artists that “Mutt” Lange had previously worked with (or would one day collaborate with), @BrendonSnyder neglected to acknowledge the obvious-that Def Leppard themselves had literally just worked with him on their previous album! But, of course, Brendon knew that already!! He just chose not to say it, nor did he opt to put it in his notes that he constantly looks down at. I’m just taking what the architect says too “literally”… Silly me.
