The only two on here I don't like are the Kevin Dubrow and Jani Lane, probably because I'm not a big fan of either, but the rest of this is just great hard rock versions that almost seem to surpass in places like my favs the Kory Clarke (Warrior Soul) version of "You Got Me Running" which has him absolutely making the song as intense as it could be. I couldn't imagine a more metallic version that pumps you up like this one, it's a hard rock masterpiece of a cover with all those involved to me. Then there's "Let It Go" featuring Jason McMaster (Dangerous Toys), and if you are a fan you know how he can own and put his stamp on a song...check out the Dangerous Toys version of 'Feel Like Makin' Love' on their studio effort "Hellcacious Acres" for proof. Also a fav is "Bringin' On The Heartbreak" featuring Phil Lewis (L.A. Guns), always a treat to hear his trademark style of singing, let alone the way he belts it out on a strong song like this.
Mostly their early rockers are featured here, and that's fine by me since mostly the 80's stuff was the most raw and rocking. As far as tribute albums go; this one is exceptional.

Just because you like the original artist/song, doesn't mean the cover is gonna be as good or even half way decent. This 12 track tribute to one of the very best bands in Hard Rock is quite the mixed bag, but has some great results. Let's review:
First of all, you have to be into or like cover versions of original favorites. If you're not, move on, you won't find much pleasing here. For the rest, this is a pretty good cover/tribute to album. It's always cool to hear interpretations from artists who come from the same era and genre, who generally do like the songs they are covering, because that will produce the best results. Now with that said:
Jani Lane (ex-Warrant), Jason McMaster (Dangerous Toys/Broken Teeth), Steve Whiteman (ex-Kix), Phil Lewis (L.A. Guns), Stevie Rachelle (ex-Tuff) and Jizzy Pearl (ex-Love/Hate) all do the best jobs on their song takes and therefore are the strongest tracks here. Other notable mentions would be Kory Clarke and Kelly Hansen ("You Got Me Running" and "Rock of Ages", respectively) so you have a good share of great covers and therefore you should buy this album. Keep in mind it may help if you actually enjoyed the original track(s) in the first place, but thats not a requirement.
What puzzles me the most about this album, and some others, is when they take songs and absolutely, well....totally !*@$#-up a song and go way into left feild. Why oh why is there a techno mixed version of "Rock Rock" on here? Must be because Kevin DuBrow can't sing anyway so they might as well throw down a techo beat. Here's a better idea...don't invite him to sing in the first place. Terrible cover! Worst cover ever.
As far as tribute albums go this is pretty damn good and worth picking up. And if you avoid Dubrow and also Paul Shortino (is it any coincedence they came from Quiet Riot...hmmm) you will enjoy this homage to a great band by a collection of (some) great vocalists. Personal favorite "Let it Go" Jason McMaster stays true to the end, he nails it perfectly. 9/12

I'M A BIG FAN OF THE MAJORITY OF THE ARTIST THAT HELPED CREATE THIS ALBUM, BUT I WAS DISSAPPOINTED BY SOME OF THERE WORK. WHEN I THINK OF A TRIBUTE ALBUM, I FEEL THAT THE BANDS INVOLVED SHOULD DO JUST AS GOOD AS A JOB AS A THE ORIGINAL BAND, IF NOT BETTER. I FELT THAT 1/2 OF THESE BANDS DIDNT LIVE UP TO THAT. I THOUGHT ALOT OF THE SINGERS SOUNDED ALIKE WITH THE WHOLE RASPY (I NEED WATER TO CLEAR MY THROAT) VOCALS AND SCREAMS, AND I FELT ALOT OF THEM DIDNT PUT MUCH EFFORT IN WHAT THEY WERE DOING.
I THINK THE MUSIC KICKED ASS, IT'S RAW, GRITTY, LOUD AND BOMBASTIC. SOME OF IT IS BETTER THEN THE ORIGINAL MUSIC. MOSTLY THE OLDER STUFF FROM THE "ON THOURGH THE NIGHT" AND "HIGH N DRY" CD'S. ANYTHING FROM PYROMANIA AND HYSTERIA ALBUM DIDNT SOUND AS GOOD AS THE ORIGINAL.
HERE'S WHAT I THINK OF EACH SONG TO SUM IT UP QUICKLY.
1. Wasted - John Corabi (KICK ASS VERSION. BETTER THEN THE O.G.)
2. Rock Brigade - Joe Leste (PRETTY DARN GOOD GRITTY VERSION)
3. Photograph - Jani Lane (IT'S ALMOST AS GOOD AS THE O.G.)
4. Rock, Rock - Kevin DuBrow (HE DESTROYED A CLASSIC)
5. Too Late For Love - Stevie Rachelle (IT'S OK, BUT NOT AS GOOD AS DEF'S VERSION.
6. Foolin' - Steve Whiteman (IT'S JUST AS GOOD AS OF TOO LATE FOR LOVE)
7. Rock Of Ages - Kelly Hansen (IT HAS IT'S HIGH AND LOW MOMENTS)
8. Bringin' On The Heartbreak - Phil Lewis(I'M DISSAPPOINTED THAT PHIL DIDNT DO A BETTER JOB ON THIS SONG. HE KINDA SOUND LIKE HE DIDNT TRY THAT HARD,BUT HE DOES GET BETTER IN THE MIDDLE OF THE SONG.)
9. Let It Go - Jason McMaster(BEST SONG ON THE ALBUM, BETTER THEN THE ORIGINAL)
10. High & Dry - Jizzy Pearl (MUSIC IS GOOD, VOCALS NOT UP TO PAR)
11. You Got Me Running - Kory Clarke(GIVE THIS MAN SOME WATER)
12. On Through The Night - Paul Shortino (I NEVER THOUGHT THIS WAS ONE OF THE GREATEST DEF LEPPARD SONGS, AND I DONT THINK KORY IS THAT GREAT OF A SINGER, BUT FOR SOME REASON I LIKE THIS VERSION BETTER. BUT THAT'S JUST ME.)
SO IF YOU SEE THIS CD AT A CHEAP PRICE, BUY IT, CUZ IT'S WORTH A LISTEN, HELL IT'S WORTH IT JUST FOR COVER VERSION OF "LET IT GO", BUT I WOULDNT PAY MORE THEN 10 BUCKS FOR IT, CUZ YOUR ONLY GONNA LISTEN TO 1/2 THE CD ANYWAYS.

Like a previous reviewer has already stated, the music is loud, gritty, and bombastic. I really dig the rawness of these Leppard classics! With that said, I feel like the vocalists did a great job with these songs. The highlight for me was Jason McMaster's version of Let It Go. I swear it's as good if not better than the original! If you come across this disc somewhere then go ahead and buy it, because it's a fun cd to listen to.
