    Their loyalty to Rick Allen always impressed me. At the height of their career, they would have been better off financially and structurally if they just cut him loose and got a new drummer. But they refused to do so. Loyalty is a loss treat. That’s why I respect these guys.

      True friends. They waited on Rick to recover, then changed the music somewhat to conform to his newer drumming style. They and us fans were rewarded handsomely with so many hit songs.

      Contracts buy loyalty, keeping them earns honor. W/e the reason, glad Rick had such support and became the first to inspire the entire world overcoming impossible obstacles and proving it can be done, redefining reality as it was known then.

      Agreed, and it’s why they are so revered and respected in the industry- they didn’t give up on him, didn’t let him give up on himself- and became a true family as much as a band. Exactly why they are rock legends. I’ve seen them five times live- and will see them every time I have a chance.

    • @TimelessGap2
      @TimelessGap2 4 года назад +8

      Well he had the support of his brothers/friends/bandmates. As Rick said it wasn't a talk of IF but WHEN he returns. This gave him the encouragement to get back out their. He was a drummer and even if it killed him he was going to be up onstage with his boys again. Moreover the band already let him know that they wouldn't tour again without him. The only time I heard this bond again was from South Korea's boy group Super Junior. This was the same message they had for a member who was facing difficulties from haters because of his physical appearance.

I DO HAVE A VERY GOOD IDEA WHAT RICK A ALLEN WENT THROUGH RECOVERING AND LEARNING TO DR DRUM FROM A DIFFERENT WAY BECAUSE I VOLUNTEERED IN A HOSPITAL LIKE THE ONE RICK ALLEN DID UNTIL HE GOT OUT OF THE HOSPITAL AND LEARNED TO DRUM AGAIN AND I BET THE ROOM HE LEARNED TO DRUM AGAIN IN WAS BLUE WITH BAD LANGUAGE AND FRUSTRATION BUT RICK ALLEN DID IT. THAT IS ONE OF MANY REASONS I'M PROUD OF RICK ALLEN AND JOE ELLIOTT. THE ORIGINAL DEF LEPPARD SINCE THE BEGINNING. GOD BLESS YOU RICK ALLEN AND JOE ELLIOTT FROM A FRIEND ACROSS THE POND IN CANADA.

    I had the absolute pleasure of meeting the band after a Sheffield concert. I was desperate to meet Joe and Sav, who are big idols of mine. However, it was Rick Allen who stole it for me in the end. I've never met a more humble, friendly and just approachable man. He genuinely seemed as happy and excited to meet us as we were to meet him. This man is literal Rock God, but he just sat their chit chatting with us without any care. He is an incredible drummer, but he is a properly incredible person too

      I'll never forget when I saw Def Leppard last in 2007. They were on tour with Styx and Foreigner and Def Leppard was the final act. I waited till the crowd stopped screaming non stop and told my cousin beside me, "Watch this, I'm gonna make sure these guys know I'm THE #1 fan they've got" so... Bottom line, the crowd died down and that's when I screamed as loud as I could from the 3rd section 6th row on the stadium floor and at that moment Rick Allen pointed out over the crowd at me at I lost it! Tears of joy! It was the greatest moment, as a die hard fan, and I'll never forget it! When your #1 idols show love and support to their fans like that... It makes all the memories of them and their music and influence on everyone that much more memorable and worthwhile. ✌🏻❤🙋💙🤘🏻

      I think Joe meant that's what has happened to that band alone. Plus Joe early on in their careers had vocal cord problems and literally could not even whisper if he wanted to get his voice back and there's SAV he had Bells Palsy so he has a little bit of paralysis in his face. So they've had their shares of trials that they triumphed over and the only band that I've heard actually acknowledge their fans as their real bosses. ❤❤to Def Leppard ❤❤

    Pyromania was the 1st album that I ever purchased! I had to walk (alone and mom didn't know) for 3 hours to get to the mall. The Zellers was selling an awesome looking album cover that I just had to buy. That was Pyromania! Anyways and after another 3 hour walk home (all while clinching my purchase grinning ear to ear) I got home (townhouse complex) and excitedly showed my friends what I bought...Moot point! lol
    I eventually made it down the street (another 1/2 hour) to hopefully play it on my uncles stereo (I didn't have one). Nobody was home. My uncles stereo wall was approx 10'W x 7'tall!

      TheVgirl93 Rick Allen designed his drum kit with a couple engineers. His band mates encouraged him to find a way to continue playing. It’s amazing how much like a family Def Leppard truly is. They’re my daughters favorite band and was her first concert she attended.

      bidwell13 - Mine too (with the exception of The Beatles). When a group of people are with each other more than their traditional family, yeah, you grow such a strong bond. Sometimes, deeper than their own family ‼️‼️‼️

    Was fortunate to catch the band this week at Royal Festival Hall in conversation about their early years and launching their biography. Each and every one of them, in the band now, gone and departed included, are a class act. Hugely inspirational in so many ways, larger than life yet authentic and humble to the core. Thank you for all the music and the inspiration. Oh and their biography is an absolute cracker! Don’t miss it!!

    It's bands like Queen, Def Leppard and Bon Jovi that were responsible for my taste in music, my love of rock. Def Leppard's 'Adrenalize' album was a huge one for me, I had it on cassette and I played it ALL THE TIME. Out for walks, it was on my walkman. I wore the tape out and had to buy another one. The first one wasn't even mine, it belonged to my brother but he rarely saw it once I started listening to it! Thank you DL for being amazing all these years.

    Wow what a wild run. When I was in high school in early 80’s, we had to ride the bus for about an hour to and from school cuz we lived in rural area (Indian reservation). I remember this young guy would bring his big cassette player and blasted “Pyromania” or “High in Dry”. That’s how I became a Def Leppard fan. Congratulations to them and Rock on 🤘🏻
