Rick Allens smile could literally heal the world. So much beauty in his heart that shines through his eyes when he smiles. I adore that man, and this band.
Amen indeed, and, as the senate prayer reader recentky , twattishly said 'and awomen. Cringe times, these. Long live these great rockers with their Union Jack references
Watching Rick Allen's face while Brian spoke brought tears to my eyes. I don't think that man gets enough respect for doing the job he has done for all these years with ONE ARM. I love Brian's speech & they totally deserved this honor.
I'm not a very sentimental person, but to see Rick smile (almost in tears too) during Brian's induction speech I get all mushy and want to hug Rick myself!! I love Def Leppard!!! :)
Same here. I’m so proud of him and how determined he was to continue drumming. He’s such a genuine person and because of this he will always be my all time favorite drummer! Love you Rick!!!😎😘
Def Leppard is a band of friends that are closer than brothers, through Steve's passing, Rick's Crash and amputation to Viv's cancer they have stayed steadfast and loyal to each other, that and their dedication to their craft cements their place as one of the greatest bands in music history.
Brian seems like such a phenomenal human and musician...how awesome would it be to just be in the room with Brian May ... DL is a fantastic band who are still kicking ass ..
1991 was sad year for both bands-Def Leppard lost their guitarrist Steve Clark and Queen lost their frontman Freddie Mercury. Def Leppard performed in FM tribute concert in 1992 Wembley Stadium.
Brian May did an Awesome Job inducting Def Leppard to RRHOF Love Rick Allens smile it was priceless and he shined that night I adore the man and band always and forever
I didn't realize how nervous Brian was until watching this all the way through. He made several mistakes which I'll wager were more from nerves than from not knowing the facts. It's cool to see genuine friendship in the world whether that be from rock & roll, or anywhere else. It's rather obvious that the boys from Sheffield has earned a lot of respect from their peers, and if that includes Brian May, well that's even more cool.
It gives me *more* respect for Brian because so many inductions are cocky and "performed," but he went up there and I think his mind just blanked with "Oh shit, I love these guys... don't fuck it up, don't fuck it up..." on such an emotional level.
The more I learn about Def Leppard the more appreciation I have for them. A real rock n roll family, amazing songs, top of the line skill and talent. They are heart warming to say the least. Love you guys, Rock On!
Love this band so much. I am so glad this band is still here. Rick Allen's tears streaming down his face, watching him hug everyone with his one arm, provoked a lot of good emotions in me. As much as I doubt my battles with healing from my traumas, from my alcoholism, I am a musician, through and through. Def Leppard brought that gift to me. No matter what happens in life, I always have these songs. This induction is long overdue and much appreciated.
🤣🤣 Brian May's not only a great musician, but he's a comedian. That shit was good. My dad got me listening to Def Leppard, and I'm always thankful for that. Congrats to them 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽💯💯 Next up, Priest! 🤘🏽🤘🏽
I actually saw Def Leppard Monday night along with Journey and the Steve Miller Band!!! I didn’t even know we were going to see them in concert until we pulled up to Globe Life Field, home of the 2023 World Series Champions, Texas Rangers!!!!!! I don’t know how else to say it: it was a dream come true!!!!!!!!!!!! Never in a million years did I ever think I’d ever get the privilege to see Joe Elliot, Rick Savage, Vivian Campbell, and the Thunder God Rick Allen!!!!!!!!!!! And in a ballpark, no less!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I saw them at Comerica Park in Detroit in June, stadium was packed and they were amazing!!! All of the bands were amazing but Def Lepard gave me chills.
A few years ago, I’m in NYC for the first time in my life. We are walking through Soho and I look over to a table at an outside cafe and there is Brian May. I mouth “hi Brian” and he gives me a nod and smile, and I keep on walking. This is my life sometimes. Sublime.
You lucky girl… he is such a down to earth guy. I hope he realises how much joy and comfort people feel towards him. We are seriously loosing these treasures due to age… these people feed our souls. Forever thankful.
July 2024 Had to rewatch. Love Def Leppard especially Rick Allen -Great Man Great Drummer Great Human- The THUNDERGOD! and Brian May is so dam cool (and super freaking smart)
Also many other assets. He's an astrophysicist with many degrees, has written many books, paints, etc etc! Lastly, has had the same hairstyle throughout his entire career!
Some people think they are cool, but you're not cool unless Brian May is your friend and inducts you into the RR Hall of Fame, He truly loves every single member of this family of his.
I never knew how close Brian and Deff Leppard are great speech but How did it take so long for Def Lep to be inducted in the HOF they've been legends for years 🤘
That's Sir Brian May. Awesome musician and a scientist at that. And he meant "When Love and Hate Collide". :) Def Leppard was and will always be one of my favorite band. Defined my music of choice, rocking hard and driving music that meant so much to all their listeners. Years on and I am still listening to them.
So Very Fabulous to have Brian shAring with us in this glorious induction!! Historical Grandness, dear Brian,.We love you! Congrats to Def Leopard!! 💓💓💓
I've grown older, and my interests have changed, that's when I got into Def Leppard. NO REGRETS. They rock hard, big time. Maybe the best band in my book. IMHO.
kev5621 , correct, but in the grand scheme of things, I think Brian May should be given a hall pass. The rest of his induction speech was respectful, appreciative, and heartfelt.
some people are “Know it alls”. Brian is a genius. yes, give the man a pass. ps.. watch Brian's hands when he talks, they look so gentle, and these are the hands that bring the Red Special to life. Brian's moving into “Legend”. ...
I had the Pyromania album on 33. can't even remember how many times i played it. had to be in the thousands. i was 12 yrs old. had a huge impact on me.
what a fantastic night for this amazing hardrocking machine! i had the honor to see them live in las vegas august 14th!!!!!!! cheers from the caribbean island aruba 🇦🇼
One of the greatest bands around, I'm glad I was born in the Era with them dominating the charts and am still kicking and rocking with them today. I remember in 1987 I swore I'd grow up and Marry Joe Elliott haha a teenagers dream. None the less he was stolen from me haha, but hey teenage dreams are just that dreams and I live in the reality of being able to enjoy the past, present and the future with an amazing band. Absolutely Love Def Leppard!
So much love, respect and gratitude to the men of Def Leppard for all the amazing music of theirs they've shared with us over the last 4 decades. I still cry today, just like the 15 year old girl I was when I first saw them in 1983!
Def Leppard finally inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Very well deserved and quite overdue. I wish Steve Clark could have been there to see it.
What an awesome speech and so heartfelt. Sometimes when it comes to these shows, I wish the crowd could WAIT on the whoooing until the end, but it is what it is.
![I.N "HALLUCINATION" | [Stray Kids : SKZ-PLAYER]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/n5B5q1Hwt_U/mqdefault.jpg)
Brian May is such a class act.
I was about to write that :)
Absolutely!!
“Ooh, Classy” - Michael Scott
He is the real "Queen" of England
Maria Wood because he is a genius
I guess I never realized how close knit Queen and Def Leppard were, and that warms my heart.
Go

Both groups lost band members when Steve Clark and Freddie Mercury died the same year (1991).
Rick Allen said in an interwiew in 1988 " Brian May is the biggest fan of Def Leppard, and we are the biggest fans of Brian May"
Queen were among their glam rock heroes, in fact that's where those signature harmonies came from.
Rick Allens smile could literally heal the world. So much beauty in his heart that shines through his eyes when he smiles. I adore that man, and this band.
Agreed ❤
ABSOLUTELY. ❤
Agree, he's a beautiful soul
Love this TY
@@CherylFrancis-fn1uf That's mostly for compensating for his looks 👍😉
Brian May is one of the most magnificent human beings ever born. A genius in so many different fronts.
Amen!!
Hear hear!!!
Amen indeed, and, as the senate prayer reader recentky , twattishly said 'and awomen. Cringe times, these. Long live these great rockers with their Union Jack references
One of the best songs in the day Photograph " Joe Elliot? Short Hair in a bob???

Great comment! I agree with you completely.
I don’t know what it is about Brian May but I could listen to him all day, regardless of topic
I could literally listen to him waffling about badgers for years.
If he wanted to talk about his mum for an hour and a half I would be all ears...hehe
I could too! Not only does he have a beautiful voice, an amazing head of hair and a crazy sense of humor, he's intelligent, caring and kind. ❤️
Agree
Not only a guitar god but an astrophysicist. Guy is teeming with knowledge
I'm not a very sentimental person, but to see Rick smile (almost in tears too) during Brian's induction speech I get all mushy and want to hug Rick myself!! I love Def Leppard!!! :)
Same here. I’m so proud of him and how determined he was to continue drumming. He’s such a genuine person and because of this he will always be my all time favorite drummer! Love you Rick!!!😎😘
Dr. Brian May.....right hand to FREDDIE....God almighty guitarist....undisputed LEGEND.
🙏🙏

I really wish Clarkie had lived to celebrate this moment with Def Leppard.
7:37 Rick was very touched. that's nice.
Probably theeee most heartfelt speech I've heard, what a guy. And what a band
Flea had the best speech. Period.
Rishi Pranav it’s like comparing a Lada to a Bentley! Brian is a legend and a gentleman Flea is an ok bassist and a twat!
No, Alex Lifeson from Rush did.
Brian seems like such a phenomenal human and musician...how awesome would it be to just be in the room with Brian May ...
DL is a fantastic band who are still kicking ass ..
Sir Brian is the standard bearer for our generation of Rock and Roll.
1991 was sad year for both bands-Def Leppard lost their guitarrist Steve Clark and Queen lost their frontman Freddie Mercury. Def Leppard performed in FM tribute concert in 1992 Wembley Stadium.
I could Listen to Brian May read a telephone book and listen to every word.

Yes i noticed the mistakes. Who cares tho it’s Brian May inducting you in to the Rock n Roll hall of fame. Who else can say that 😎
What are the mistakes??
@@melissatyree566he just mixed up a couple of albums and stuttered on some names, nothing important
@@epsilon6516 👍 ok
The more I learn about Def Leppard the more appreciation I have for them. A real rock n roll family, amazing songs, top of the line skill and talent. They are heart warming to say the least. Love you guys, Rock On!
What an honor to be inducted by your idol ❤
Brian May is goat in his own right, as a guitarist and a human. Loves music and people
Def leppard rocks and keep on going. L.J
Love this band so much. I am so glad this band is still here. Rick Allen's tears streaming down his face, watching him hug everyone with his one arm, provoked a lot of good emotions in me.

...and yes, no matter what we may endure in life, we ALWAYS have these songs and music to lift our spirits~
I feel you, Curious. Same.

Next up, Priest! 🤘🏽🤘🏽
I've loved Def Leppard since my " Inter cert" in 87, but I only discovered the track "Photograph" recently and it's amazing
@@MazeMuse Nice bro. It's a good song to know. There's not a single crack in the armor on 'Pyromania' imo.
@Hutch McGehee Yeah exactly! Groundbreaking band deserving of the recognition.
@Hutch McGehee
No, as in Judas Priest.
You forgot that he's also an astrophysicist

Brian is such a great guy. I love how he shared his personal experiences with us.
What a genuine, heart-warming, very personal tribute to his friends.

The harmonies of the Terror Twins will sadly never be recaptured again in this lifetime. RIP S.M.C. your are missed to this day.
July 2024 Had to rewatch. Love Def Leppard especially Rick Allen -Great Man Great Drummer Great Human- The THUNDERGOD! and Brian May is so dam cool (and super freaking smart)
Brian May inducting Def Leppard....priceless.🎶❤️😎
"..as honest and decent a bunch of guys ....". From Dr B May, who is the epitomy of that, is high praise indeed and it makes me well-up.
SIR Dr May!!
Considering the crowds Brian has played in front of, a huge shout out for DL. Pure class...couldn't have had a better person to induct them.
Brian May is a legend, this man knows how to guitar.
Also many other assets. He's an astrophysicist with many degrees, has written many books, paints, etc etc! Lastly, has had the same hairstyle throughout his entire career!
Dr Brian May. Music and Astrophysics. What a man.
Nice to hear the Freddie Mercury tribute concert mention! That was amazing with them as well as the whole thing!
Can do without that
That show introduced Viv as the new guy
Boy , I was born in 71, this band is part of my teenage years! LET’S GET ROCKED!!!
Some people think they are cool, but you're not cool unless Brian May is your friend and inducts you into the RR Hall of Fame, He truly loves every single member of this family of his.
When a LEGEND gives u high praise.....all u can be is speechless.
How awesome that Brian May inducts Def Leopard to Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
Being inducted by Brian May is a reward in itself.. mic drop!
What an absolute class speech and tribute to a great band, nobody could have done it better, thank you Dr Brian May!! x
An absolutely wonderful speech Brian. Your warmth, your energy and sincerity is UN-surpassed.
Oh yeah, Brian May & Def Leppard!
A great speech!
🤟🏻🤙🏻🤙🏻
I never knew how close Brian and Deff Leppard are great speech but How did it take so long for Def Lep to be inducted in the HOF they've been legends for years 🤘

Great to see you Brian! ❤
For the worlds greatest guitarist Brian May to give you a tribute....means Def Leppard is great.
That's Sir Brian May. Awesome musician and a scientist at that.
And he meant "When Love and Hate Collide". :)
Def Leppard was and will always be one of my favorite band. Defined my music of choice, rocking hard and driving music that meant so much to all their listeners. Years on and I am still listening to them.
😭❤️ Queen and Def Leppard ; my two most favorite bands 😍😍 awesome induction!

Good induction from Brian May to Def Leppard. I Love Def Leppard. Congrats to them for being in the hall of Fame. 🙂❤❤❤🤟🤟🤟
So touching and heartfelt. Made me cry.

😂🤣😂
LOL I say put Photography on BOTH Pyromania and Hysteria! lol Why not?
😂😂😂
Buffoonery, Brian May 💪
Photograph
What a speech , what an amazing,clever man Brian is, he 's so versatile , he has it all including the looks!

When Quality talks about another Quality.

Awesome ! A Legend embracing a legendary band 🤘♥️
Great speech but Photograph was on Pyromania
And When Worlds Collide?......hmmmm
@@giftofflesh I was so confused by that too cause I know my Def Leppard songs!!!

I was gonna say that...
Best induction speech ever, it's such a pleasure listening to him.
Love bites is their best song ever ! I can never get tired listening to that masterpiece ballad...:)
As a small child, my 27 y/o daughter had her Fisher Price Cassette player blasting the PYROMANIA tape!!
I had the Pyromania album on 33. can't even remember how many times i played it. had to be in the thousands. i was 12 yrs old. had a huge impact on me.
Bobby Walker Same here. I was 13. First album I bought with my own money. Never thought about the fact that I’d be 50 and love it just as much.
They are the best of the best I've been a faithful and loyal fan since I was 15 year's old now I'm 56 and still a loyal fan ROCK ROCK
Well deserved induction, great band, great human beings with struggles we all can learn from…. Wishing you many years to come
what a fantastic night for this amazing hardrocking machine!
i had the honor to see them live in las vegas august 14th!!!!!!!
cheers from the caribbean island aruba 🇦🇼
Def Leppard is my favorite band 🎸🎶🤘💕
Love Def Leppard. Big crush on Rick Savage😉 Great band and songs. Congrats! Everyone.
Always loved Sav
Brian May and Def Leppard - simply the best ❤️
This is so much better than just strictly listing band accomplishments. Brian also talks about personal stuff between them.
My mom got me listening to def Leppard and queen and to this day I still love these bands the music and the inspiration behind their Storys
Queen & Defleppard my favoryt band in the world.
Get well Brian May!!
Brian May is the best I love qeeen

Damn an Astrophysist and one of the greatest guitarist inducts Def Leppard to the Hall of Fame
Omg rick, you're the best!
Def Leppard finally inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Very well deserved and quite overdue. I wish Steve Clark could have been there to see it.
Love def leppard and queen
Brian May you are awesome... Def Leppard are also AWESOME!!!!
Def Leppard and Queen (and Adam Lambert) were two of the greatest shows I’ve seen
Beautiful Def Leppard such words from Mr May❤
Rock legends . A life lived and loved ... Thank you for sharing your passion .
Damn, that was well worth watching. Well done fellas - you finally made it! Also hats off to Brian...beautifully done.
My fav hard rock band - Def Leppard forever!
What an awesome speech and so heartfelt. Sometimes when it comes to these shows, I wish the crowd could WAIT on the whoooing until the end, but it is what it is.
Magnifique ! Quel bel hommage Mr Brian May. Congratulation. Def Leppard est mon groupe favori
Def leppard was a great band, one of my favorite songs was photograph and yeah its on pyromania
Just when you think Joe could not get any cooler, he saves Brian May's life and never mentions it (if he did, I can't find a reference). Class act.
The phone call thing made me tear up a bit too :")
