TOM MORELLO Joins DEF LEPPARD On Stage At OTTAWA BLUESTFEST To Perform ‘Just Like 73’

RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE guitarist Tom Morello joined DEF LEPPARD on stage last night (Wednesday, July 16) at Ottawa Bluestfest at LeBreton Flats Park in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada to perform the British rock legends’ recent single “Just Like 73”. Professionally filmed video of his appearance can be seen below.

DEF LEPPARD commented: “It was an absolute honor to welcome Tom Morello to the stage for ‘Just Like 73’. Thanks for rockin’ with us at Ottawa Bluesfest.”

The studio version of DEF LEPPARD‘s “Just Like 73”, featuring a guest guitar solo from Morello, was made available in June 2024. The following month, DEF LEPPARD guitarist Phil Collen told the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette about how the collaboration came about: “Well, Tom heard my original demo of the song with just me on it, and maybe Joe [Elliott, DEF LEPPARD singer] doing a vocal. And he’s, like, ‘Oh my God, this is great.’ So he told our friend Brian Monaco, who is actually president of Sony Music, and Brian‘s, like, ‘What do you think about Tom being on it? He loves this thing.’ And it was, like, ‘Yeah, that’d be awesome.’
