It's the same drummer Rick Allen, this was before his car accident. Another classic Def Leppard you should react to is "Foolin" it's off the same record that "Rock Of Ages" is... 'Pyromania' and as much as I love "Rock Of Ages" I like "Foolin" a little bit more. So hopefully you'll do a reaction video to it.🤞
The drummer has both his arms in this one… he lost his arm later in the car accident. The band waited for him , until he felt like he could come back! The band stayed with him and supported him! Love this band saw them in the late eighties! Fantastic concert!
I remember that. They could have replaced him & kept going. But they didn't. They hit the pause button at the height of their career & waited for him to heal & learn to play everything 1 handed then they came back better than ever.
Def Leppard we’re my boys of the 80’s and they are still my boys. I’ve seen them 6 times in concert. I will be seeing them again in July. Please listen too Photograph Animal Bringing on the Heartache Love Bites Armageddon It Two Steps Behind (acoustic) Hysteria
Rick Allen (drums) of Def Leppard was 15 when he joined the band; he was 19 yrs of age when this was filmed in 1983, from Def Leppard's album 'Pyromania' - it sold 10 million copies in the US... Allen had just turned 21 when he had his car accident in late 1984 & lost his arm... Def Leppard's next album 'Hysteria' was delayed until the fall of 1987. Rick Allen had to acquire & design an electronic drum kit in 1985 and learn to play w/ 1 arm. He played his first shows after his accident in 1986 w/ Def Leppard. Unfortunately, the blond guitarist in the video, Steve Clark, lost his life to addiction a few years later in 1991. As a result, Def Leppard's 5th album 'Adrenalize' did not arrive until 1992, and they recruited guitarist Vivian Campbell to replace Clark. Guitarist Phil Collen had joined Def Leppard in 1982, replacing guitarist Pete Willis... Collen said that back in the 80's, he felt Def Leppard had more in common w/ pop bands like Duran Duran, than heavy metal bands like Iron Maiden... and they had a pop appeal for sure. The album 'Hysteria' actually outsold Michael Jackson's 'Bad' album... 😮 Check out more Def Leppard - 'Rocket' ... "Foolin' " ... 'Hello America' ... "Let's get rocked" ... 'Tonight' ... 'Work it out'... 'Promises'... 'Too late for love' 🔥🔥🤘🤘
It was so fun growing up with this music! Def Leopard was always at the top of my favorite groups! It’s great you get to enjoy how cool our music was lol!
1983 was the greatest year of Heavy Metal!! Best records are from 1983...!! Ten years later I saw Def Leppard for my first time LIVE (I saw them 6 times) here on Monterrey México! :)
After the drummer Rick Allen lost his arm, he spent time in recovery trying to figure out how to play drums again. They originally tried to reattach his arm, but it didn't work out. So he told the band he was going to come back. He figured out a special drum kit that he could play with both feet and his remaining arm. And his band mates, stuck with him. Replacing him was never an option for them. Rick has said in interviews throughout the years that he did have some dark moments. But he pushed through. A couple years after losing his arm and designing his kit, they were back in the studios recording one of their biggest albums, Hysteria. It is a testament to the human spirit, friendship and never giving up. I've got mad respect for Rick Allen and the boys of Def Leppard.
I remember the very first time I heard this song. I was 7 years old, bouncing in my seat and jamming out until the chorus hit and then I paused, listening intently. I was so blown away by the group vocals and music that perfectly melded together. I made damn sure to remember this band's name after that. XD
God they were such babies in this video. Lol Right before Rick lost his arm it was New Year’s Eve 83. in the true testament to them is when you see them live later he would never know that Rick lost his arm it sounds just like it does here
Wow they were so young in this one. The video is a little cheesy. In the beginning of MTV they thought they needed that over produced theatrics but realized we just wanted them. The reason for their success is was they made good music. Legit hard rock for the guys and five gorgeous young men singing and playing to the ladies. Their concerts were legendary. Lots of stories about what went on during and after. But fact is Steve and Phil lit those guitars on fire. With Rick Savage bringing the rhythm. Three guitars make the music insane. Add the power of Rick Allen on drums and Joe Elliot’s great vocals, it was magic. They looked like they were having so much fun. Note…. It was heart breaking to lose Steve in 1991 at 31 years old. Lead guitarist and songwriter left everyone spinning. RIP Steve. 💔
Rick Allen ( the drummer) started with the band at 15. He lost his arm at 21. He is such a powerful drummer. He is now involved with The Wounded Warrior Project. To have a band stop everything to wait for the band mate to recover is amazing.
It's more than that Bobbi, it's unheard of in the music business. Incredible love for Rick to stop and wait for him to recover and learn to play once again.
Def Leppard them are Brothers in Rock FRT! They waited for Rick to relearn to play the drums with one arm. They could have replaced him but they didn’t
This was before the accident. That happened between Pyromania and Hysteria. His rapid come back less than a year later, teaching himself to use his feet for more drumming, to compensate for the loss of his arm. It was inspiring to everyone. We were all wondering, how can they continue, he was such a good, solid drummer. They surprised us with the announcement of the new album about 9 months later. They had two albums, became famous, then the accident and a new album that went to the top instantly less than a year after we thought they were over or needed a replacement. This was part of a new British Invasion that happened in the beginning of the 80s.
The drummer is the same guy. He is still playing with the band just saw them in2022 for the Stadium Tour, he’s still KILLIN IT!!! He lost his arm in 1984. Playing with one arm longer than he had 2 arms. Check out Photograph!!
Loved your reaction !! You should do a deep dive into this album, "Pyromania" then go back to their previous album "High n Dry". They are both classics!
What separates Def Lepard from all those other 80's bands is their harmonies. There aren't many bands that have that layered guitar sound and flawless harmonies. They still tour and they're still a force as a live act. Pyromania and Hysteria are their best albums. Pyromania really put them on the map but The Hysteria album made them Rock Gods. It's chock full of radio hits and was Rick Allen's(drummer) first album back after his car accident. The album took 3-4yrs to make but his perseverance to get back on the kit is inspiring.
High n Dry is quintessential Def Leppard. Their best album....original Leppard really rocks. This is so commercialized for the masses. I like rawness of the previous albums.
By accident a religious gospel group left a hymn book with Rock Of Ages opened to it..hence,the inspiration for the tune. The opening Hooben,Gleeben,Globen,Globem! Was inspired by the Monkees No Time's opening inspired by Bill Cosby. It was uttered by Morton Malner their manager and caretaker later for a drink Steve Clark who died later.
This video brings me back to the early days of MTV, when they just played music videos and the occasional music news. Thanks for the reaction. You guys are great.
You definitely have a treasure box of amazing music to explore. Absolutely have to do Bringing on the Heartbreak - and my personal favorite is Hysteria. But I love their faster songs too. Animal, Armagedon It, Love Bites are all a must listen.
You'll notice in other videos that the drummer only has one arm. He lost his arm after a car accident. It's pretty incredible how hes able to bounce back. Theres a movie about these guys and the accident.
Rick Allen's car accident was December 31st 1984. This album came out in 1983. This was their third album and he was still only 19 when they made it. His accident was only about a month after he turned 21
Love Def Leopard...love bites,pyromania, check out the album The Vault...has all their jams on it! Also give the band Journey a listen too, sorr of the same vibe as def leopard 🐆. Songs..Faithfully, wheel in the sky, etc....
Old school Def Leppard is cool but I recommend Pour Some Sugar on Me. On the charts for nearly 2 years. Rick Allen was in a car accident and lost his arm and still drums to this day. This album came out the same day as Thriller and that was #1 while Def Leppard was #2. 5 years later Michael Jackson release his album the same day as Pyromania from DL and kept them from the top spot again. Both had 5 years between albums.
At the beginning. ("I believe in Rock & Roll") using a German accent. They were just goofin off. Yes, 3:27 that's Rick Allen. This was before his car crash. Next album was the car crash.
This record was released in 1983 while on hiatus Rick Allen lost his arm which delayed there next record Hysteria by 5 years … that record had the track pour some sugar on me.
The thing that amazes me is just how good they still sound today. Check out a recent live performance then go listen to some of the Motley Crue misheard lyrics vids and laugh as hard as you have ever laughed- I promise
You need to react to DEF LEPPARD- GODS OF WAR live ( Official Music Video) one of their guitar players died and it has a nice little tribute to him ! I think you’ll love the vibes !
You can tell it's earlier than pour some sugar on me apart from them looking younger Rick has his arm and is playing the usual drum set up and they still have brown hair they go blonde later.the bit at the beginning that you didn't understand I think us German . it's used at the very beginning of the offspring- pretty fly for a white guy which I think is over 10yrs later.
Its a bitch when you are a rockstar just driving down the road way too fastttttttt.... in your new Corvette and your arm gets cut off when your new car rolls over it. To the bands credit, they REFUSED to go on without Rick Allen as the drummer. He taught himself how to drum again with one arm and a new electronic rig that he helped develop. Cool stuff.
You would probably get that same vibe from DOKKEN! Gotta start Rockin' with DOKKEN! TY guys lots 4 reactions, a true blessing to watch young minds absorb greatness. Love the way you look at music (and I suspect life also).
This song is off the Pyromania album, and yes, that is Rick Allen, the same drummer. He lost his arm between this album and the following album, Hysteria. On Pyromania, there is another great song called Foolin' . Listen to that one when you get a chance. All of Def Leppard's songs rock.
Rick Allen lost His Right arm when his car rolled over taking it out..despite a doctor's desperate attempt to reattach it he lost it again. A drum maker invented a set which uses his Right foot to drum via pedals.
Fun fact, his arm got cut off by the seat belt and he flew out of the windshield and stood up and said he would never be able to play the Drums again but look at him now
don't be afraid to do some of their live concert stuff. 1988 In The Round, In Your Face is really good. (good ones off that live concert is Photograph, Bringing On The Heartbreak, Rock of Ages, Women). Also another good one is their 2016 Def Leppard HITS Vegas (good ones off that are Billy's Got A Gun, Die Hard The Hunter, Rocket, Foolin)
Written by Joe Elliott, the late Steve Clark and Mutt Lange. Produced by Mutt. Thomas Dolby on main synth + programming. Def Leppard + Mutt Lange on backing vocals. JE said he stole the verse from the Bible! Cat burglar! 😸 LOL He referenced the Neil Young song "Hey Hey, My My (Out of the Blue)". This was 1983. The next year, 1984, Mutt rejected the first offer of working with Bryan Adams. They would work together starting in 1990. In the same year, Thomas Dolby visited Mutt and The Cars. Mutt and The Cars would record the album Heartbeat City. This was their bestselling album. Drive was their signature song. No surprise for the title! LoL RIP Steve Clark and Ric Ocasek, songwriter and lead singer of The Cars. Suggested next Def Leppard song: Animal. 🐆🐆🐆🐆🐆
No, your memory is fine. This video was done before the accident where a seatbelt took Rick Allen's arm. Even more amazing was the band didn't have him replaced, they stuck with him till Rick taught himself to play with one arm, using a foot pedal I believe to duplicate the lost arms drum beat. IMO, one of the classiest actions in rock history and why this band is in my top 5 best rock bands ever formed. This is one of their best off the album Pyromania. That album kicks ass big time.
This band and Queen are two of the most prolific bands to show unconditional love for a band member and friend after a tragedy. It was never an option for the rest of Quern to walk away from Freddie after his HIV status was revealed to them. Just like it was no consideration for Def Leppard to consider replacing Rick Allen after he lost his arm in a car accident at 21.
"Gunter glieben glauchen globen" doesn't mean anything, it just takes the place of the typical 1, 2, 3 4. if you liked this track you'll love "Foolin'" off the same album and in my opinion one of if not THE best song they've done
Notice the drummers has two arms? Prior to accident. You caught it. Your right. After his accident they were in a lawsuit with the record label. Because they had promised to more albums in a certain period of time that’s normal. They said well our drummer thinks he can learn to play more drums with his feet and he’s getting better. They said it doesn’t matter you need to get those albums out and on time. They refused to do it without the drummer and giving him the chance to be able to do it. He ended up after about a year of practicing more with adding drums with his feet to be able to perform again with the band. I like loyalty
Honestly, Pour some sugar and this to some extent are just diperrock, what you want is the album "High 'n Dry" (Titlesong) ♫ Let it Go ♫ You got me runnin ♫ Lady Strange ♫ Mirror mirror ♫ No No No ♫ Hit and Run Let's clean the ears ; )
It's the same drummer Rick Allen, this was before his car accident. Another classic Def Leppard you should react to is "Foolin" it's off the same record that "Rock Of Ages" is... 'Pyromania' and as much as I love "Rock Of Ages" I like "Foolin" a little bit more. So hopefully you'll do a reaction video to it.🤞
After all these years totally agree Foolin rocks. Die Hard the Hunter another banger. ☝️
Foolin' is awesome!
I like how the band stuck with their mate on drums through all his turmoil he was going through...we could all learn from that loyalty 😉 👏
ABSOLUTELY
Couple more bangers by them are 'Foolin' and 'Photograph', a slower ballad by them is 'Bringing On The Heartbreak'.
Old school Def Leppard is timeless. Would def recommend anything from the Pyromania album…came out when I was 13 and I STILL listen to it today! ✌️
The drummer has both his arms in this one… he lost his arm later in the car accident. The band waited for him , until he felt like he could come back! The band stayed with him and supported him! Love this band saw them in the late eighties! Fantastic concert!

Yeah I was in total shock with Steve's passing, when a buddy told me it was like a punch to the gut.

One my favorite bands Def Leppard so many great songs classic all time great band
Rick Allen was only 15 when they signed to their first label. So even at such a young age he was killing the drums.
You'll notice in other videos that the drummer only has one arm. He lost his arm after a car accident. It's pretty incredible how hes able to bounce back. Theres a movie about these guys and the accident.
Rick Allen's car accident was December 31st 1984. This album came out in 1983. This was their third album and he was still only 19 when they made it. His accident was only about a month after he turned 21
It wondrous and simultaneously heart-rending to see the original lineup with Rick Allen having both arms and Steve Clark on lead guitar.
They are touring this summer!! They were my first concert! More Leppard please!
Love Def Leopard...love bites,pyromania, check out the album The Vault...has all their jams on it! Also give the band Journey a listen too, sorr of the same vibe as def leopard 🐆. Songs..Faithfully, wheel in the sky, etc....
Def Lep has some of the smoothest harmonies in rock. Few people talk about it--
Joe Elliott said in A interview the beginning of the song was just from joking around with the sound system during the recording of the album
this song was so hot back in the eighties ever high school prep rally football and Basketball games all over America
They were already on the charts when Rick had his accident. They waited for him to recover and learn a new way to play!! This was early DL!!
I listened to them then. STILL listen to them!❤
He used what he had. Never gave up what he loved.
Old school Def Leppard is cool but I recommend Pour Some Sugar on Me. On the charts for nearly 2 years. Rick Allen was in a car accident and lost his arm and still drums to this day. This album came out the same day as Thriller and that was #1 while Def Leppard was #2. 5 years later Michael Jackson release his album the same day as Pyromania from DL and kept them from the top spot again.

At the beginning. ("I believe in Rock & Roll") using a German accent. They were just goofin off.
Yes, 3:27 that's Rick Allen. This was before his car crash. Next album was the car crash.
Def is just so well produced and crisp everything sounds good bye them. Perfect road trip music
Les Claypool the lead for Primus plays the bass and is amazing.
plays the base in what, - Primus songs, South Park,... NOT DEF LEPPARD?!?!?
I've seen them twice and they can really put on a show 💚
This record was released in 1983 while on hiatus Rick Allen lost his arm which delayed there next record Hysteria by 5 years … that record had the track pour some sugar on me.
The thing that amazes me is just how good they still sound today.
Check out a recent live performance then go listen to some of the Motley Crue misheard lyrics vids and laugh as hard as you have ever laughed- I promise
The brilliant great late guitarist and major songwriter Steve Clark. The band has never been the same for me without him. I adore him, always will.
You need to react to DEF LEPPARD- GODS OF WAR live ( Official Music Video) one of their guitar players died and it has a nice little tribute to him ! I think you’ll love the vibes !
Def Leopard put their touring and everything on hold til he learned to play with one arm! Now that's loyalty & great character!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Rick Allen is the drummer for Def Leppard
Watch the video of him doing the killer drum solo even with one arm
Glad to see youngin's enjoying good old music!
It's better to burn out then fade away. 🤘😝
You can tell it's earlier than pour some sugar on me apart from them looking younger Rick has his arm and is playing the usual drum set up and they still have brown hair they go blonde later.the bit at the beginning that you didn't understand I think us German . it's used at the very beginning of the offspring- pretty fly for a white guy which I think is over 10yrs later.
Omgosh they’re really young here! Phenomenal song!! Love the memory flashbacks!! ❤️
Seen this tour when I was like 15 and they were 🔥. Seen them again years later and were still 🔥. Great react.
Its a bitch when you are a rockstar just driving down the road way too fastttttttt.... in your new Corvette and your arm gets cut off when your new car rolls over it. To the bands credit, they REFUSED to go on without Rick Allen as the drummer. He taught himself how to drum again with one arm and a new electronic rig that he helped develop. Cool stuff.
Love me some Def so bring it on
Foolin. Should be ur next song to listen too
Love it !!!! My teen years seen them live it was fricken great . They told him the drummer that they would wait for him to recover that's ❤ ✌
You would probably get that same vibe from DOKKEN! Gotta start Rockin' with DOKKEN! TY guys lots 4 reactions, a true blessing to watch young minds absorb greatness. Love the way you look at music (and I suspect life also).
You gotta listen to Primus Les Claypool is amazing on the bass. He even tried out for Metallica back in the day but wasn’t what they was looking for.
Gotta listen to Primus
Yesss!! My fave! Thanks! Check out “Photograph” 👌🏼🙏🏼🔥❤️
This song is off the Pyromania album, and yes, that is Rick Allen, the same drummer. He lost his arm between this album and the following album, Hysteria. On Pyromania, there is another great song called Foolin' . Listen to that one when you get a chance. All of Def Leppard's songs rock.
So many childhood memories, thanks been years

Rick Allen lost His Right arm when his car rolled over taking it out..despite a doctor's desperate attempt to reattach it he lost it again. A drum maker invented a set which uses his Right foot to drum via pedals.
Brilliant band and even better live💪💪🔥🔥
Fun fact, his arm got cut off by the seat belt and he flew out of the windshield and stood up and said he would never be able to play the Drums again but look at him now
Another fun fact about the summer is he joined def Leppard at the ripe young age of 15
Was wondering if you were gonna remember Rick Allen’s arm or not. Good memory!
Best band from Sheffield, UK.
don't be afraid to do some of their live concert stuff. 1988 In The Round, In Your Face is really good. (good ones off that live concert is Photograph, Bringing On The Heartbreak, Rock of Ages, Women). Also another good one is their 2016 Def Leppard HITS Vegas (good ones off that are Billy's Got A Gun, Die Hard The Hunter, Rocket, Foolin)
She's back, yes.
Definitely more Def Leppard !!! 🤘 check out Def Leppard- high 'n' dry (saturday night) please 🙏
BRINGING ON A HEARTBREAK, Is a good one
Written by Joe Elliott, the late Steve Clark and Mutt Lange. Produced by Mutt.
Thomas Dolby on main synth + programming. Def Leppard + Mutt Lange on backing vocals.
JE said he stole the verse from the Bible! Cat burglar! 😸 LOL
He referenced the Neil Young song "Hey Hey, My My (Out of the Blue)".
This was 1983.
The next year, 1984, Mutt rejected the first offer of working with Bryan Adams. They would work together starting in 1990. In the same year, Thomas Dolby visited Mutt and The Cars. Mutt and The Cars would record the album Heartbeat City. This was their bestselling album. Drive was their signature song. No surprise for the title! LoL
RIP Steve Clark and Ric Ocasek, songwriter and lead singer of The Cars.
Suggested next Def Leppard song: Animal.

He's even better with one arm... The Thunder Dome!

There first album "High n Dry is fire 🔥
Rock of ages is an awesome song
"Gunter glieben glauchen globen" doesn't mean anything, it just takes the place of the typical 1, 2, 3 4. if you liked this track you'll love "Foolin'" off the same album and in my opinion one of if not THE best song they've done
Saw them a few years ago and they still rock🤘
They have a movie about the band an the accident ,that you two would enjoy watching!..😎
Great review you two!..👍👍
Pleas check out "Photograph" by Def Leppard. Especially since you talked about watching old movies.
FOOLIN!!!!!! Yep..... gotta do it!!!!
Check out Offspring-Pretty Fly for a White Guy. It has the same beginning, which is weird because they’re so different. You’ll like it!
Then def check out there 2nd album High and Dry all songs are fire. could start with Lady strange and Mirror mirror.
Notice the drummers has two arms? Prior to accident. You caught it. Your right. After his accident they were in a lawsuit with the record label. Because they had promised to more albums in a certain period of time that’s normal. They said well our drummer thinks he can learn to play more drums with his feet and he’s getting better. They said it doesn’t matter you need to get those albums out and on time. They refused to do it without the drummer and giving him the chance to be able to do it. He ended up after about a year of practicing more with adding drums with his feet to be able to perform again with the band. I like loyalty
Greatest band & comeback story in history!! 🥰🎶
They’re good friends with the members of Queen. Check out video of Brian May inducting them into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and then their set. 🔥
Photograph and Hysteria are the best songs 😬
The face tells me everything. They like it
This was from the 1983 he lost his arm in 1984 and had it amputated cause of the car crash.
Honestly, Pour some sugar and this to some extent are just diperrock, what you want is the album "High 'n Dry" (Titlesong)
