Def Leppard shared their new single titled, “Just Like 73,” which features a guitar solo from Rage Against The Machine’s Tom Morello. The song premiered on BBC 2 on Thursday morning as a global exclusive. “Just Like 73” will be released on 7-inch vinyl on August 2, with colored vinyl editions available on the band’s website. Def Leppard guitarist Phil Collen says this about their new track: “When I saw David Bowie on TV between 1972 and 1973, everything I thought I knew about music went from black and white to vivid Technicolor. Our song ‘Just Like 73’ represents that awakening.” While Morello says of the collaboration: “I had a blast rocking a solo on ‘Just Like 73’. I played ‘Rock Of Ages’ in my college cover band almost 40 years ago and here Def Leppard are still killing it in stadiums with a brand new tune that’s one of their best.” (Blabbermouth)
