Animal (Def leppard cover by Robbomac)

[kenny mac]

Hi dudes,1st of all ,I confess ,,,I made him do it lol 
I asked johnny to do the backer for this and I added the lead guitar on his request.
I put in the backing vocals and lead vocal.
Johnny again came up with the goods by sending me a great track to work with.
Hope you guys like it,its different from the Hall and oats one but as they say Variety is the spice of life.

I might have gone back  little further to Pyromania but this does sound tight. Robbomac is the current Songcrafters Super Group!!!
Rock On!

[fenderbender]

I agree with you Hook=Super group
What a perfect combination-
Brilliant vocals and brilliant backer and guitar work
Kenny & Johnny-Super group-YES!!!!!

Ah Def Leppard. Was working in the record section in WH Smiths when I was a lad, and kept playing Get Your Rocks on, which annoyed the record manager, who told me not to play it 'cos they would never amount to anything'. I think I  had the last laugh over that one! I still have that and a picture disk of 'Hello America' somewhere. Another great cover from the Songcrafter's super group.Your output has been magnificent.

Thanks chaps! When Kenny suggested this I thought "Oh... OK, not my first choice of band or song to cover, but I'll give it a go." Then I remembered doing this song 20+ yrs ago in a band. I was pretty much the only guitarist (the singer also played a bit, but struggled with anything other than open chords & had a weird habit of hitting a bottom E power chord as a place-holder for any chord he didn't know which led to some "interesting" sounds - and often this would lead to a "full and frank exchange of views" in the dressing room afterwards  ). Anyway, it was fun to finally do a version of this song & get it right... there are an immense number of overdubs on the original & I wonder how Def Leppard ever played it live.

The first challenge I had was that whammy bar bit on the intro... I don't have a single guitar with a trem. Never got on with them. In the end I did it with a slide - needs must, I suppose I have to say that I think Kenny's vocals are far & away better than Joe Elliot  - Kenny is SUCH a great vocalist & it really is a joy to work with him. He plays a mean solo on this too
