Def Leppard Atomic Mess News

Tour dates from the 1979 English tour have been added.

The Bank Gothic font has been added to the Downloadable Files section of the Def Leppard Archive. This font file was used on the album Slang for the band's logo and a lot of the internal typesetting. The font is courtesy of BitStream. To use it, open the zip file, and place the .ttf file in your \windows\fonts directory. If anyone knows how to transfer Windows font files to use on a Macintosh system, please contact me.

On March 2, 2000, Svideo.com published a rather frank interview with Def Leppard. After some people realized that the interview as described could never have taken place and had been false in its entirety, Svideo.com issued a retraction on their web site and acknowledged that the interview was fake.

Def Leppard might be coming out with a compilation album - something in the vein of RetroActive, with the left overs from Euphoria collected in one album. Along with the assorted 6 bonus tracks that found their way onto singles and special editions of Euphoria there are several tracks that are still to see the light of day: Candy In Your Hands, Gone, Lifeless, Stay With Me, Rebel Rebel, and No Matter What.

The bass guitar tablature for Animal has been added to the Guitar Section.

Day After Day will be released as a radio only single. This will not be a commercial single and there will be no CD singles made. The next single scheduled to be a commercial single is rumored to be 21st Century Sha La La La Girl.

I'm back from vacation, and will be able to start updating the Def Leppard Archive again. Look for upcoming concert reviews, a couple interviews, and pictures from the fall/winter Euphoria tour.
