I love Def Lep! This is an amazing cover. However, it can't be better than the original because without Bowie it would not exist. So the original actually IS the best. Sorry! Haha :)
their new albums are a disappointment... i think in my opinion slang marked the end of the REAL Def Leppard. then again they died when steve did. One of the best guitarists ever. R.I.P Steve Clark Wish i got the chance to meet you.
This joins Bauhaus on my list of good Ziggy Stardust covers. Unlike Bauhaus' version, I don't think this is better than Bowie, but good nonetheless. The only thing its missing is the grit that Bowie and Bauhaus had. Awesome nonetheless.
This shows a whole other side of Def Leppard than alot of fans are used to or have ever even heard.
A great Lep CD to check out that most people have never even heard of is called Cybernauts...its actually just Joe, Phil and 3 guys from Bowies old band doing covers of mostly David Bowie songs as well as a few others. A rare CD, i ordered my copy off ebay from Japan.
Also pick up Leps CD Yeah! If you havent yet. Its all Def Leppard doing covers of bands that influenced them over the years.
I love their version of the Mott the Hoople hit All the Young Dudes (the Cybernauts I mean). I can tell you are a 70's glam fan...me too. T-Rex, Mott the Hoople, The Sweet, ELO, Free, Bowie, UFO, Slade, and more! The YEAH! album is awesome! All the classics covered by my favorite band!
brilliant band and from my home town my brother used to stand outside the broadfield pub on london road sheffield collecting 50p entry fee while the band played inside during the 70s. He once told me he bought the late steve clarke a beer and steve told him he thought he was shit that night those were the days RIP steve the band lives on.

It can't be better than Bowie, because if it were better, Bowie wouldn't have made it. It wouldn't have existed. And all that jazz--I mean rock.
