I just remember blasting this as a kid and my mom thought the lyric was "break the bible break it up" and she thought you guys were satanic and said I couldn't listen anymore. LOL
decent take, but i guarantee if he was unable to play, or his playing wasn’t up to par, he would have been kicked out. respect to him because he still sounds great
Backing vocals during the chorus are just music to my ears! I can hear they have been cleaned up and tuned, but the voices are still the same after all the years... amazing : )
Hardly stripped down when the two guitarists are still shredding on electric guitars. Granted no actual drums but yeah. All the trashy pop and RnB artists have stolen the themes from all the hair metal guys of the 80's expect they don't know how to shred and they need Auto tune and 50 writers to come up with a song about getting drunk and shaking your booty. I saw Def Leppard last year and they put on a killer rock show that proves they still have the talent and drive to take on mainstream music.
This is barely stripped down tho the only difference is a shaker instead of drums. Don’t get me wrong it’s great but the poor drummer is probably bored to death.
I was expecting an entirely acoustic version. I'm glad they blended the unplugged acoustic vibe with the electronic guitar and bass. It worked out well.
Bands today hardly ever sound like this even in the studio. Gone are the days of a band recording all together, and playing off each other. Now (more often than not), the drummer puts down his beat, then the bass, rhythm guitar, lead guitar, and vocals. It gets mixed up sometimes, but that's the general formula, and I think it takes a little away from the recordings. Like there's zero chance of a small mistake that works well,or even a bit of improvisation getting on the final recording.
In this world of digital wizardry, it's wonderful to see a real band do their stuff, live, with no trickery, and one only has one arm, in a live studio and still sound like the record!!! Respect!!!
Take note kids, this is real music, they still sound good 25 years later, I stayed in line all night from around 7pm till 9am for tickets,I miss those party days in the 80s.
These guys still sound amazing... Especially impressed with lead vocals since he's up their in age. When you listen to the old album cuts, keep in mind they never sounded like the album cut exactly live. Every band member still brings their A game and still has thir shit together. Amazing band.
The very best ROCKERS in the world. If you don't believe it watch THIS! Always the best since the 80s. Seriously one of the best rock bands ever. HALL OF FAME ROCK!
I was there when the original guys put out their first album. The first in my school to own it and turn on others. 55 now and I thought I had outgrown this music. Then I saw Viv, Joe, Phil, Rick and Rick and went upstairs and pulled some cds. Yeah cds! Thank you boys! This rocked! Never better!
I've long appreciated the way that Def Leppard harmonized on the chorus. Pyromania remains a favorite after all these years. One interesting thing I read about Rick is that he considers himself a better drummer now than before the accident that cost him his arm. His kit too is absolutely unique and fascinating to learn about. Great performance!

You guys keep my youth alive, heart, soul, muscle and bones. Love and respect.
Me and my wife saw them guys last year,finally got to see use,wow I was absolutely blown away buy the whole show,great guitarists great drummer and amazing vocals probably one the best live bands ever saw
Hell yeah. They still have it. New bands would kill for a hook like that. See yall in Vegas for shows 64/65 this Labor day weekend!! Congratulations on joining the HOF.
PURE CLASSIC'S HERE !!!!!!!! black crow now def leppard woooow weeee in my mid 40's & hearing & seeing these on here REALLY TAKES ME BACK !!!!!!!!!!! REALLY AMAZING WISHING KIDS in their teen's could experiance this awesmose stuff !!!!!!! SOOOO VERY VERY GLAD I RE-FOUND 'OL HOWARD STERN ............ SO GLAD HE RECORDED ALL THESE & WAY MORE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
#1 for 87 consecutive days on the MTV top daily 10. We would run from the dinner table to watch it. I remember once MTV had a Def Leppard weekend! I had many, many VHS recordings of that weekend.
Ok heres the true story of how i discovered this band way way back.....was cruising with some of my buddies headed out to the fire trails along the Ausable river in oscoda michigan and one of my buddies comes out of this little convenance store with HIGH AND DRY...we never heard of this band he just bought it on a whim.....we break out the weed do a bunch of one hits put the tape in crank it up and mind you this was a kicking system loud and clear and all four of us were blown away!!!! and i am still a huge fan today at 54 years young.....thanks guys you still sound and look awesome
@@defleppard Thank you for responding. That was crazy never expected that. I hope you guys will do more dates. I live in Indiana and would love to see you guys again. The last was in '83 MSA. I'm an old guy that is trying hard to hold on to my rock bands from my youth. Have a great one.
The reason is Rick needs a special drum set to accommodate his missing arm. He discussed that in the interview, it's basically all bolted on a platform when they tour and obviously that behemoth was not making it into the Howard studio
I think it's perfect, actually. Listen to the balance of the instruments, leaving plenty of gaps with the rest being virtually a Capella. More drums would crowd that beautiful space around it all.
Thanks for having us 🤘
that was a great interview! I remember wearing the hell out of that union jack concert tee from the 80's!
I just remember blasting this as a kid and my mom thought the lyric was "break the bible break it up" and she thought you guys were satanic and said I couldn't listen anymore. LOL
Tell me something about your guitarsounds on this video ...AWESOME! Amps? Kemper? Helix? Tell my please.
Love you guys! Grew up with your music! Wish you all word tour again!
You guys still sound amazing!
Just the fact that they kept Rick Allen as their drummer after his accident makes them a legend in music and as men of honor.
decent take, but i guarantee if he was unable to play, or his playing wasn’t up to par, he would have been kicked out. respect to him because he still sounds great
Abusive fuk knows how to beat a women with one arm still.
I do not see that as a big deal. In fact it isn't.
That's the true meaning of a band
@@mattshank8155 disagree they were a brotherhood...led zeppelin finished when bonzo died
First artists I've seen using the new fender acoustasonic
Yeah... But here it sounds like nothing 🤔😢
That's literally why I clicked on this video lol
Luke Cowley I gotta wonder if it not a paid endorsement.
Yes, for good reason - they're awful lol
Luke Cowley that’s what i was gonna say. probably because it’s an average guitar and stupid experience lol
Whoever does the sound in Howard's studios for the bands deserves a medal!...
Scott Lee Clayton fuck yeah they do!
What a tune
Damn, i didn’t know the back up vocals were honestly so legit. Always assumed it was studio trickery. I’m a moron.
If anyone doubts their live vocals, listen to this. They have always prided themselves on their LIVE vocals and they always deliver.
Even 20-30 years ago people thought Leppard were using triggered samples for live vocals.
Never the case, they just sounded too good to be real.
darklordlc they have slight auto tune/pitch correction on their mics.
Great band!!
Seen them twice in Grand Rapids, MI. Both awesome shows.
darklordlc In 2016 joe had some questionable moments where if he was lip syncing or not
Dude still has his voice, unlike some other 80s rockers.
Axl, if he’s on...which recently has been like 80% of the time....is still killing it
Love these guys....alot of class
I saw them live with poison and Tesla, joe Elliot is still amazing live. However i personally think Tesla took the cake in terms of vocals.
As the male voicebox gets older it tends to go lower in pitch. Some of those old 80's bands should try growing up and tuning DOWN. :-P
bRUCE DICKENSON PUTS THEM ALL TO SHAME. sorry for the caps. But great job regardless
Backing vocals during the chorus are just music to my ears! I can hear they have been cleaned up and tuned, but the voices are still the same after all the years... amazing : )
I don't usually like stripped down versions of songs but this was so good.
Check out Corgan playing 1979 on Stern.
I think the only thing I didn’t care for was the distortion (at least for a more stripped down version of the song.)
Hardly stripped down when the two guitarists are still shredding on electric guitars. Granted no actual drums but yeah. All the trashy pop and RnB artists have stolen the themes from all the hair metal guys of the 80's expect they don't know how to shred and they need Auto tune and 50 writers to come up with a song about getting drunk and shaking your booty.

I was surprised
This is barely stripped down tho the only difference is a shaker instead of drums. Don’t get me wrong it’s great but the poor drummer is probably bored to death.
My lord they have no business sounding that good in 2019... amazing performance
Hearing still that energy in the voice, after so many years of this song, that is how to sing rock and roll kids
I’m blown away with how good they still are. So good
He cant sing anymore tho
Their vocals are seriously incredible. They emulate the studio background vocals so well without using tapes.
I wasn't expecting this, jesus christ they've still got it!
I wasnt expecting howard with jerry curls
blindsidedka just saw them live this past Friday. Unreal how they sound so good!
I was expecting an entirely acoustic version. I'm glad they blended the unplugged acoustic vibe with the electronic guitar and bass. It worked out well.
Artstar2 Imagine if it started like this and then after the first chorus it went full rock mode with Rick’s drums. That would be heaven.
There's an entirely acoustic version they preformed for Howard in 1999 that you can also find on the channel
And this is why I love Def Leopard. 🇬🇧
One of the only bands who can still get up and play today and still sound pretty sharp. Can’t say that for many others
Freaking awesome acoustic/electrified arrangement!!! Cheers!!🎸
That was GREAT!
Rick looks bored as hell with that shaker, lol.
He actually looks awesome!! very handsome! :)
They could have done another song. 2 steps behind.
Yet without him the song wouldn’t had been what is.
Arm must get tired
He should get those tambourines and shakers you can strap to your feet
I’ve never listened to def leppard before, I just clicked on this because I was surprised to see someone playing an acoustasonic
HOLY HELL! They still got it! This is how a band should sound live not like these studio artist today.
Dylan Germino you should see them in concert..awesome
Howard must have a great studio sound for bands like this. It seems anytime I hear a band on his show recently they always sound very good.
Have you heard any modern artist live?
You're listening to the wrong music of today. Tons of great artists out there... open your eyes.
Bands today hardly ever sound like this even in the studio. Gone are the days of a band recording all together, and playing off each other. Now (more often than not), the drummer puts down his beat, then the bass, rhythm guitar, lead guitar, and vocals.

I think most people overlook just how important the whole band’s vocals are integral to their sound, and they still sound like Def Leppard. Cool.
I've always thought that too.
I love that the bassist is still in the 80's. They still sound great.
Its the vocals that push Def beyond other bands. Not just backing vocals or gang 'chorus' vocals, but adding dynamics.
I love def Leppard. These guy's are classy and talented. They don't fight. they don't argue, they get along and they actually love their fans.
Take note kids, this is real music, they still sound good 25 years later, I stayed in line all night from around 7pm till 9am for tickets,I miss those party days in the 80s.
4:00 those double swells are pure eargasm!
Lol I love how phil and viv look at each other when they realize they're out of sync... and then phil takes off
Thank you for still touring staying together and playing the hits. We don't have many 80's groups left....
These guys still sound amazing... Especially impressed with lead vocals since he's up their in age. When you listen to the old album cuts, keep in mind they never sounded like the album cut exactly live. Every band member still brings their A game and still has thir shit together. Amazing band.
The very best ROCKERS in the world. If you don't believe it watch THIS! Always the best since the 80s. Seriously one of the best rock bands ever. HALL OF FAME ROCK!
Great version of this song! Love the stripped down sound that still has the ripping guitars. This band had the best guitar tone of them all!
That was so awesome I need to watch it again.
Man this band is still awesome. Loved them since the 80’s.
My God. Awesome. DL/Joe Elliot awesome.
Mutt Lang puts his pants on one leg at a time just like everyone else, but when his pants are on, he makes gold records
Heyemeyohsts and he didn’t even need cowbell!
Rick Allen puts his t-shirts on one arm at a time.
Heyemeyohsts actually they are platinum but I see what you did there and I like it.
Round of applause,brilliant flawless rock song ,happy days
They sound and look GREAT. Have seen these guys 8 times over the years and they never disappoint.
I was there when the original guys put out their first album. The first in my school to own it and turn on others. 55 now and I thought I had outgrown this music. Then I saw Viv, Joe, Phil, Rick and Rick and went upstairs and pulled some cds. Yeah cds! Thank you boys! This rocked! Never better!
Don't give up on the past, my friend! Def Leppard or anything else.
It’s mesmerizing to watch and listen to how Phil and Vivian so perfectly and professionally interweave their guitar playing.
Seen them quite a few times and met them. Really fantastic guys. Lovely lads.
I still get goosebumps because they’re such a great band.
Damn that was great. They sound absolutely fantastic.
I've long appreciated the way that Def Leppard harmonized on the chorus. Pyromania remains a favorite after all these years. One interesting thing I read about Rick is that he considers himself a better drummer now than before the accident that cost him his arm. His kit too is absolutely unique and fascinating to learn about. Great performance!
You guys keep my youth alive, heart, soul, muscle and bones. Love and respect.
Me and my wife saw them guys last year,finally got to see use,wow I was absolutely blown away buy the whole show,great guitarists great drummer and amazing vocals probably one the best live bands ever saw
Love that Viv Campbell outro. Tasteful choice of notes. Juicy as hell.
One of these most entertaining and down to earth bands around great music
I stopped listening to music after the 1960's..., and then along came Def Leppard... Loved them.
Cool to see these old-timers still enthusiastic about even their biggest hits. Howard always brings out that energy, it's great :-)
That's awesome. Takes me back to when I was a high school kid on the bus listening to Hysteria on cassette tape in the 80's..
Absolutely amazing. Talent at its finest. Also boggles my mind how down to earth they are.
This is why legends can never die
God they sound just as good as they did in the 80s, incredible musicians.
def leppard were fkn legends, what a band, the music they made is just unbelievable
HA! Absolutely awesome..!!! Thanks Howard STERN!!!!!
Hell yeah. They still have it. New bands would kill for a hook like that. See yall in Vegas for shows 64/65 this Labor day weekend!! Congratulations on joining the HOF.
Wow that was bloody brilliant. So glad these guys have still got it. Fantastic performance.
Haha! At the end when Howard tells them, "You're on to something!" :)
PURE CLASSIC'S HERE !!!!!!!! black crow now def leppard woooow weeee in my mid 40's & hearing & seeing these on here REALLY TAKES ME BACK !!!!!!!!!!! REALLY AMAZING WISHING KIDS in their teen's could experiance this awesmose stuff !!!!!!! SOOOO VERY VERY GLAD I RE-FOUND 'OL HOWARD STERN ............ SO GLAD HE RECORDED ALL THESE & WAY MORE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What a Great Song and Band! These lads gave us kids a great soundtrack all through the 80's!
Thank you. Saw them in the nineties in Houston. Front row. So amazing.
Pour some Acoustasonic on me
for dayyyyyyyzzzzzzzz
Dave Evans That thing is almost as bad as the Gibson robot tuners.🤦♂️
Yep. The only thing that really stinks in this jam
Pour 2000 dollars of useless shit on me
Dave Evans that was the reason i clicked. an unholy creation
Awesome story behind the song. Great performance as well. Love these songs from the Howard Stern show being available to the fans.
When this song came out....MTV would play it at least 12 times a day🎸🎶🎤🥁
Strippers would strip to it 100 times a day.
I THINK IT'S 1987
#1 for 87 consecutive days on the MTV top daily 10. We would run from the dinner table to watch it. I remember once MTV had a Def Leppard weekend! I had many, many VHS recordings of that weekend.
Yep I remember that.
BootlegFightVideo they still do
Good lord. They are still absolutely KILLING IT. Respect.
His voice still sounds solid. I’m impressed!
All of these artist interviews on Stern have been incredible!
wow , can't believe how awesome these guys sound live. Always loved their music.
The power of the brain and suggestion is an amazing thing...
I mean hot damn, they sound incredible!!!
Howard always has a good sound in his studio.
Band sounds great
the fact he had a voice crack at 5:11 and played it off so well was amazing
Not true. That's exactly what he wanted to do.
This certainly was a nice morning kick ya in the @$$ with coffee, glad to know these guys still rock! Thanks for the video!
Ok heres the true story of how i discovered this band way way back.....was cruising with some of my buddies headed out to the fire trails along the Ausable river in oscoda michigan and one of my buddies comes out of this little convenance store with HIGH AND DRY...we never heard of this band he just bought it on a whim.....we break out the weed do a bunch of one hits put the tape in crank it up and mind you this was a kicking system loud and clear and all four of us were blown away!!!! and i am still a huge fan today at 54 years young.....thanks guys you still sound and look awesome
Still nailing it after all this time! that is a rarity these days. Nice!!
They sound so Top level!!
They still sound badass as always.
Def Leppard is one of the few bands that can perform their songs live and actually have a better quality
salute and respect from beatiful country TÜRKİYE to DEF LEPPARD and drummer.
I have to admit it, these guy's still f-ing Rock!🤘🤘 Let's not forget On Through the Night, and High, and Dry!!
LET-IT-GO!!
Wonderful job guys. This many yrs later and it still sounds fantastic. God Bless
That was out of this world amazing! You guys blow away so many other new bands with this live one song performance alone.
Def Leppard is one band I never get tired of listening to.
Still sound great . Thank you for being the soundtrack to my childhood.
This is magical!! Love the sped up tempo of this and the harmonizing and vocals really shine through along with Phil & Viv's guitar playing. Awesome!!
They r amazing sounding better live than 90 percent of recorded stuff today
61 years old and he's still got that voice!
Superb ! Rock of ages live with the medley is one of my favourite performances by def leopard
Wow! Hope to see them in concert in 2021!! Guys are legends!
WAY OVER DUE for the HALL OF FAME! They were huge in the British Invasion, great BAND!
A great band is gonna be a great band no matter how many years pass by. OMG those guitars, those voices. AMAZING!!!
"Livin' like a lover with a red iPhone"
Lol
i thought they were time travellers before i found out it was "Radar Phone" xD
dansig69 I swear I thought that's what he was saying but that doesn't make sense
😂😂😂😂
That’s what I always hear. It’s funny because I have a red iPhone.👍🏻😂
Holy shit this took me way back
Howard. Sirius/XM needs to give your studio sound team a raise. All of the live performances i've watched lately have sounded amazing!
That sounded awesome. Glad the finally made it in. They deserved it more than anyone. Hell I grew up with them.
Cheers
@@defleppard Thank you for responding. That was crazy never expected that. I hope you guys will do more dates. I live in Indiana and would love to see you guys again. The last was in '83 MSA. I'm an old guy that is trying hard to hold on to my rock bands from my youth. Have a great one.
Never gets old!!!
Listen to Joe Elliott's voice. And now, think about this: He's 59 years old.
It's decent here, but most of their lives stuff is total shit. There are singers much older than him that sound way better.
Eric Kleefeld he’s like a fine wine. He gets better with age
Eric Kleefeld I drooled over this man at Orange County Speedway in Hudson Valley NY in 1987 and Im still drooling over him and his voice in 2019.
Eric Kleefeld he sounds like shit dude ..
59 isn't that old. Your voice is still fairly intact if you took care of it at that age. Now let's check back in 10-15 years and see how it is. Lol
Man Def Leopard still got it. They sound so good. Thanks a Bunch
I feel bad for rick he deserves more than that damn egg
The reason is Rick needs a special drum set to accommodate his missing arm. He discussed that in the interview, it's basically all bolted on a platform when they tour and obviously that behemoth was not making it into the Howard studio
@@pauli6043 Yea of course. Don't think there may be a middle ground between an egg shaker and a full drum kit?
Well he can't have 2 eggs!!
He's Arm's ageddon it...
I think it's perfect, actually. Listen to the balance of the instruments, leaving plenty of gaps with the rest being virtually a Capella. More drums would crowd that beautiful space around it all.
Love these guys pure gold
