def Leppard 9 lives featuring Tim McGraw  email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 85/100. oneandonemakesix (23975) 4 years ago

I usually like MOST of what Tim McGraw does as far as music wise, however sittin here mylotting while I'm watchin the top 20 CMT videos this one came up number 18, well needless I have to say I was so not impressed, in fact I really didn't like it.

I couldn't understand half of the words, and I sure as heck didn't like Tim McGraw sound in this video, it just didn't sound like himself, although he looked like himself.

I have no problem with rock crossing into country, but make it tasteful, like Bon Jovi, as he did one heck of a job doing duets not only with Jennifer Nettles but with LeAnn Rhimes and a couple others.

Have you seen this video?

I definitely will gou out of my way not to see it again?

I just have 3 words for it,

It AIN'T Country

hello mooch

lol i have heard that song before, as a matter of fact, i just went to youtube's website to view the video and i have heard that on the radio before, but had no clue who was singing the song. and like you said, no, it sure ain't country either. and no, it is not gonna be one of Tim McGraw's biggest hits either, i do not think. what else has Tim McGraw sung besides that Don't Take The Girl song? i really did not care for that song by him either. but yeah, i think that he could have teamed up with somebody better than Def Leppard to sing country music like that with. lol not that i have a thing against Def Leppard, they used to rock out in their days.

have a beautiful day today!

other songs, red ragtop, Kris Kristofferson, um even I'm drawing a blank, but it sure isn't my favorite.....He does some really good duets with his wife, Faith.

I have not heard the song, but I can only imagine how bad it was. Tim McGraw and Def Leppard should not be mixed. I wonder if he will realize his mistake or if he thinks it is actually a good song.

I haven't heard it, but judging from your discussion, I don't think that I will. I love country music, but I think that for it to be judge as good, you have to first understand it.

Wow, I didn't even know about this collaboration until I saw this post. Looked it up on YouTube just now and watched the video, though. I totally understand your reaction. First of all, it's just not a good song. It's trite, heard-it-before rock (both musically and lyrically), which kind of recalls an old 80's song by Great White called "Once Bitten Twice Shy" (only not as good a song). Hmmmmm.... why Tim McGraw would sign on to this when he is still a big star is totally beyond me. I understand why Def Leppard would do it - they haven't had a hit in years and at their age, the Country market is a good place for them to gravitate to. At any rate, this collaboration comes off as totally bizarre to me. The best thing about it is the video, which shows that well past 40, the Def Leppard boys still look pretty good. That's about the only positive thing I have to say, though.

P.S. Here is the video link on YouTube for those who haven't seen/heard the song:

I'm not sure I agree with one poster that Def Leppard and Tim McGraw SHOULDN'T be mixed, because after all, it was Def Leppard's original record producer (Mutt Lange) who was largely responsible for the "Def Leppard sound" who also produced the 2nd biggest selling Country record of all time (Shania Twain's "Come On Over"), but what I would say is that this was just the WRONG song, produced the wrong way. A collaboration between these two artists could have worked with a great song and a great record producer guiding the production. Unfortunately, "Nine Lives" just isn't it and Mutt no longer works with Def Leppard. If he did, he never would have produced such a terrible song on these two artists.
