Loud Lion created a huge buzz several years back, but their album never appeared....until now!
Loud Lion is the brain child of pop/rock icon
Bleu who put together the project to pay homage to
Mutt Lange and
Def Leppard. The album includes 9 original songs
"in the style of" classic Def Leppard and features
Bleu along with
Taylor Locke (Bleu's co-creator & main partner in LoudLion, most widely known as the lead guitarist for
Rooney),
Adam Ross (
Rihanna's touring guitarist),
Allison Robertson (
The Donnas lead guitarist),
Maclaine Diemer (
Bang Camaro - keyboards, guitar),
John Fields (uber producer), and
Dylan Halacy (
Bang Camaro - drums). All songs produced by
Bleu.
Bleu comments on the
Loud Lion CD:
"Def Leppard hasn't put anything as good as Loud Lion out in at least a decade! If you like Pyromania and Hysteria (and f**k you if you don't) then you'll love this record - and that's not even taking into account the brain-liquidating shred-fests. An homage has never (ever) sounded so majestic!"
The tracks were fully remastered in LA by
JK Northrup for release by
MelodicRock Records. The release features a booklet featuring all new artwork, lyrics and graphics.
