In an interview with Salon, Def Leppard’s Joe Elliott talked about the different styles they display in their music.

"We don't want to be pigeonholed," Elliott says. "We want to be able to say, 'Yeah, okay, so we can play a Stones song, we can play a Leppard song, we can play a Bowie song,' and they all kind of work, because we have broad strokes in our palette," he says. "If you listen to a billion things, pour them all into a bucket, stir it down, you get your own special recipes, and that's all we've always tried to be. We've got our foot in many different styles of music like metal, hard rock, pop, whatever you want."

Def Leppard and Journey have teamed up for a massive co-headlining North American tour. The trek is composed of both stadium and arena concerts, with half of the shows being closed by Journey and half by Def Leppard. The tour features complete sets and all-new production from both bands.
