Lost of charity initiatives have been set up and many will follow to raise funds for the victims and their families, who suffered from the horrible wildfires in Los Angeles. One of
it was a huge FireAid this past week, with superstars such as Lady Gaga, Green Day, Billie Eilish, original Nirvana members and more.

British glam rock veterans DEF LEPPARD who were based in America throughout their career do their contribution with covering the 1961 classic STAND BY ME performed by soul legend Ben E. King

Joe Elliott (frontman): “Los Angeles and its surrounding area has always played a central role in Def Leppard’s career, from it being where some of us are based and it being our US hub for rehearsals, to being the city where we played our first-ever American gig. We feel blessed to be able to dedicate this song and give all the royalties to the amazing heroes in L.A. helping those affected by the fire. No better song.”

STAND BY THEM

DEF LEPPARD – Glam Rock Celebs Back With Retro Arena Anthem ‘JUST LIKE 73’ Feat. TOM MORELLO

Posted on by JL

Daily noise that works faster than a stream of caffeine

14 June 2024

DEF LEPPARD are not the only British hard rock band around
since the mid-70s. Also Iron Maiden, Deep Purple, Whitesnake and
Uriah Heep (all with a hiatus here and there and line-up changes),
to call just a few, are still producing heaps of decibels.

DL recorded/released 4 LPs this century, with Diamond Star Halos
from 2022 as the most recent one. They also still tour regularly.

The glam giants will make tons of noise in the US this summer
in huge arenas with several big-name veterans to support them.

To get in the mood they just dropped a one-off single.

JUST LIKE 1973 is a retro arena anthem that will make thousands
and thousands of American fans go out of their mad minds.

The new belter features RATM’s guitar hero Tom Morello
who seems to be on every record lately where some frantic
riffage is needed.

A limited edition 7-inch blue vinyl single is available
through the band’s website. Hurry up. Info HERE.

Wake up people, time
for some air guitar.
