Record Co Forced Def Leppard To Rerecord Classics
. The concept was to tie in the name of their summer tour � Rock of Ages � with the Broadway play-turned film of the same name starring Tom Cruise, who also sings "Sugar" on the soundtrack album�another good reason for the UK rockers to keep their name front and center. But there's more to it than that. "It was, well, let's just say a sensible business decision on our part," Leppard vocalist Joe Elliott tells MTVHive. "How can I put this politely? We were having a major disagreement with our ex-record label about the digital rights for our back catalog. We couldn't come to a mutual understanding that seemed fair for both sides. So we finally just decided to re-record all our hits. We started with 'Sugar' and 'Rock of Ages,' and I think we did a pretty good job. It's hard work trying to recreate something you did 30 years ago." more on this story hennemusic is an official news provider for antiMusic.com.
