Rick Allen playing the drums with only one arm Tony Iommi playing guitar with the top of two fingers cut off Freddie singing on his death bed, "the show must go on" Three examples of rock/metal inspiration
My brother's accident was a bicycle verses motorcycle and it happened in late January of 85 and he only survived 1 night and he fought like the Dickens for his life but early the next morning he couldn't fight for it anymore and God took him to heaven. He would have turned 50 on August 7th
Columbia, SC.... I think it was 1988. I was 17, singing along and screaming my little heart out. Best. Concert. Ever! 🥰 Rick Allen was already an amazing drummer befire the accident, but to adapt to the changes and overcome the challenges he faced... truly an inspiration. ❤️ 🥁
I admire his courage and determination. I admire that he overcame his limitations as well as his admited drug problems. I cherish his band mates for their support and loyalty. Two arms , One arm clearly the best drummer in rock history. Love you Rick!
RICK THANKS FOR TELLING ME ABOUT YOUR EXPERIENCE AS I AM HAVING SERIOUS MEDICAL ISSUES AND HAVE BEEN TOLD I MAY DIE IN 2 MONTHS AS UNABLE TO GET A MEDICINE I NEED AND REFUSING TO BORROW MONEY FROM PEOPLE . THANKS RICK FOR THE ADVICE AND WISDOM YOU HAVE SHOWN ME. GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR WIFE AND MAY YOU ALWAYS HAVE HAPPINESS.
I’ve been struggling with repetitive stress injuries that have affected my work and personal life for most of my adulthood, and have found Rick to be such an inspiration. I certainly would never wish his injuries on him (or anyone for that matter), but ironically I think they’ve made him a more musically creative drummer.
i give rick allen a lot of credit for not giveing up and for haveing his family sticking by him and not letting him give up on him self. it is so awesome to see rick still being able to play with the band and still being able to give the fans there moneys worth. he is a very good drummer, i hope that he continues doing what he loves to do. rock on rick keep going
He is the most amazing drummer! He is very cute and his grin makes you want to grin back! It is infectious. I think he is so cool and amazing as a person really.
I am inlove with this band, with those men. There are my inspiration. There are real friends, and they are together after all these years. Rick Allen is my rock god. Steve was on of the best guitarists.. he put every piece from his heart and soul into his work. I love you, Lepps. You always will be in my heart.
I love the Hysteria art in the booklet and on the front of the cover,,, of there cd I have it's iconic I just can't stop looking at it... The Drummer from Def Leppard is an Artist as well he does his own art as well I saw a review on it all... I Love all the 80's Rock music it is my Hero.
Yeah I know. I was devastated when I heard about Steve. I balled my eyes out like a baby. Still do when I watch those tributes. But I think Rick is better than ever. He doesn't need 2 arms he is phenomenal.
He is an inspiration! When Pyromania came out, I wanted to play drums, I took lessons, had a black 5 piece Ludwig with a Rude hi hat and a Paiste ride that I had to double as a crash! I miss my drums!!!! One of the best anger management releases!!!!!!! My parents used to flick the light to basement when it was time to quit! One of these days, I will get another set!
Mann My name is Rick. I play drums and back in 1981 I was in a car wreck and I lost 45% of my elbow, have a metal plate in my forearm. I remember when this happen I felt so guilty!! It should have been me, not him, I still feel this way at times. Rick Allen is the most amazing person on the face of this planet and having all the people in his corner is also so cool. That is one thing I never had, people in my corner, but that doesn't matter!! this isn't about me. Its about the Rock-n-Roll Soul this man has. I supposed he is more blessed than we think!!!? I dunno folks! To have something like this happened at the highpoint! FUCK! I don't know how I would have acted??
i've heard people say he's a cheater with tha way his kit is set up but really its fukin hard to learn all tha songs he already knew with only one arm..8 hours a day in a room with this new kit man i bet he got pissed alot..go rick
Ahhh i can't beleive i missed the Toronto show. I'm Seriously hoping I get to see Def Leppard Live one day. That would be the greatest experience ever.
This is probably the millionth video I've said this in, but Rick is SUCH an inspiration... On a humorous note, I lol'ed when he was talking about using his feet in the kitchen...
Over the yrs. Same thing has always come up - Rick got better post accident. Not many muscians have to think and pre-plan every move to make what he does work. He's the true thunder-god.
I've been in that same situation as Joe Elliott when he went to the hospital to see Rick. For me it was my own dad after a serious accident and he had the exact same reactions as Joe describes Rick having. The sedation drugs might cause that effect when it's not fully out of the system and is quite a scary thing to see someone you care about looking and acting that way.
DJ80s, I get a bit irritated because Joe relates to HIMSELF and how things affected HIM. Bela Lugosi? He perceived Rick as looking at HIM and blaming him? Why? For what? And he says he couldn't handle it and had to go into the bathroom. ME ME ME. He described Steve Clark as "That was one of MY best friends....in with the 'crazy people' (not quoting,) in a boiler suit" And Joe to this day STILL blabs on and on about how much HE TRIED to HELP Steve and how Steve REFUSED HIS HELP. "He didn't want to change." Bullshit Joe. Not once have I EVER heard Joe express ANY FORM of compassion or even acknowledge the SUFFERING that Steve must've been feeling. Joe even stated "The guy never even showed any gratitude to me for all the help I gave him." Again, ME ME ME. Well Joe, welcome to the world of ADDICTION, where the addict does appreciate you, but just hasn't gotten to that so very difficult stage of saying "Thank You." And Joe said Rick's brother told Joe to feel Rick's hand because it was warm...(Rick's brother thought that was a good sign, bless his sweet heart.) And he had to take Joe's hand and place it on Rick because Joe said he just "couldn't bear it." And "I touched it and immediately felt sick and had to run to the bathroom!" WTF??? Dude, how do ya think you made Rick's brother feel? I was 5 and I was afraid to touch my Daddy because he had a huge brace around his broken neck. I felt so bad for my Daddy and I cried and told him that. Go figure, at only 5 years old I was more mature than Joe. Sorry to blabber on... but I love Rick and I wonder what HE thinks deep inside when he sees the selfish crap Joe has said. And I love Steve dearly, and I wonder how they feel when an interviewer brings up Steve and the ONLY THINGS JOE SAYS ARE NEGATIVE, and a lot of it is not true. Grrrrrr...
That's just how some people react. If you watch Hysteria: The Def Leppard Story, the movie portrays Joe as a workaholic. The band was busy from 1979-1984. The only way that the band was able to slow down was when Rick had his accident. So, maybe Joe felt responsible for driving Rick too hard.
I might be able to shed some light on this. I'm an only child. So is Joe. I've been yelled at for years, due to the fact I will say "my mom" or "my marriage" not ours. I know other only children who do this as well. I think it's a bad habit I try to shake. Not saying it's right. A cousin recently got all bugged out about me saying something was mine and not ours when it came to my marriage. She said it's all about me. 😞
@@ilovesteveclark6084 About Steve I always felt something strange about Joe's position on him. But I understand, addiction is something completely difficult for everyone to deal with and especially those who don't want help or anything else.
i see rick laughed at disco he has much patience in laughing i always and still tolerate disco irritating to my ears.... i like the way rick says he is greedy with highhats .....seen his kit set up before impresive..... the woman he is with in part 2 looks different then wife he has now,, listen to part 3 then must leave donna varall love and light to rick and his wife.... 4/29/17
rick has problems, Stacy was there for him, but, she couldn't conquer his demons. he will always suffer from PTSD, same as his ex that was in the accident with him probably does. Rick is in the news, she is not. is there an interview with her? Would love to see or hear it.
Ballybunyon Ireland has a larger than life statue of Bill Clinton playing Golf. Ballybunyon is cool. If you watched the video you know what Ballybunion is, if you didn't then nevermind.
Def Leppard isn't just good at playing really good music and writing down kick ass lyrics... If you try to see them in a deeper point of view, their personalities blend well after they settled down without Pete Willis... What a great opportunity to be able to hear them play until these days...

8:44 as a disabled musician myself i absolutely love that they have a peek into how he does things. 😊 you are and always will be my biggest hero
I've been lucky enough to meet the band before and Rick has to be one of the nicest guys I've ever met!
Showing your injuries is the best way to say "I´m back. I´m beyond this." Hats off man.
Columbia, SC.... I think it was 1988. I was 17, singing along and screaming my little heart out. Best. Concert. Ever! 🥰 Rick Allen was already an amazing drummer befire the accident, but to adapt to the changes and overcome the challenges he faced... truly an inspiration. ❤️ 🥁

This guy is a class act! I really like him; he has a good heart and even with one arm, plays a 'mean' drum! You go Rick! We love you!
This guy is awesome! And handsome in this video, too 🙂🙂

If you've ever seen him play live - he just blows you away. The energy that comes from him is what keeps Def Leppard going
no words to describe how i feel about this band and this guy..
I’ve been struggling with repetitive stress injuries that have affected my work and personal life for most of my adulthood, and have found Rick to be such an inspiration. I certainly would never wish his injuries on him (or anyone for that matter), but ironically I think they’ve made him a more musically creative drummer.

POWER RICK allen,Thanks too def Leppard!,Love you !!
Rick Allen lost his arm left on the 31st December 1984, the drummer's Def Leppard.
Such an inspiring story
rick youre the best drummer in my eyes ever
I was there at Donington, August 1986.
Yeah I know. I was devastated when I heard about Steve. I balled my eyes out like a baby. Still do when I watch those tributes. But I think Rick is better than ever. He doesn't need 2 arms he is phenomenal.

Eric Walsh I didn't mean I didn't mean to hurt you report it was an accident
Do soon. You never get past remembering how it was. Just having them is a comfort....
No kidding rick actually used ludwig chromes with rude cymbals from 1979 to 1984
Rick just doesn't stop amazing me.
Rick you are amazing and awesome. Great Inspiration for me.
super inspiring video of a truly humble man, way to go Rick!!!!!!!
true musician keeps hope alive. not my personal taste in music but a very remarkable and respectable man

Incredible job, well done.

i've heard people say he's a cheater with tha way his kit is set up but really its fukin hard to learn all tha songs he already knew with only one arm..8 hours a day in a room with this new kit man i bet he got pissed alot..go rick
Right
fuck those cuntass bitches lmao
Cheater!!!!!! Fuck me how? Some people talk fucking shit, they really do.
I met Stacy at a show in New Orleans. She was incredibly nice. She went backstage during the show and gave me one of his sticks.
The Leppards all seems so own to earth taking care of eachother.
Rick is a real fighter, the world wouldn´t be the same without him.
RESPECT.
Much respect
Rick Allen is an awesome drummer
Ahhh i can't beleive i missed the Toronto show. I'm Seriously hoping I get to see Def Leppard Live one day. That would be the greatest experience ever.
What's more badass than a 1 handed drummer?
Very good 😊
Good video.. Tnx 4 uploading
Just like a effect , Rick how could he not think it would not effect me, here's
In America , I center my around center to his affect
Look mate, Rick ROCKS and that's all that matters.
Okay so , just like being,bringing, it would, of been most joyous
Legend
This is probably the millionth video I've said this in, but Rick is SUCH an inspiration...
On a humorous note, I lol'ed when he was talking about using his feet in the kitchen...
most likely,
but if he is, it is good that you are getting into bands like these.
Awesome
JOE ERES TAN HERMOSO ❤❤❤❤❤😙😃😎❤❤❤❤❤❤
Damn, what a fighter!
He is awesome and hot

Rick Allen joue la batterie tres tres bien avec un bra....RICK YOU ROCK!!!!
and she left him 10 years later
I have always been attracted to tis drummer Ricky Allen, child hood, it's not sexually, I feel, it's more of a mentor, ship,
Why do you feel sorry for him? He is someone who has had something happen to him and that made him more determined to play the drums again.
Seriously? It's pretty damn amazing playing a whole drumkit with one arm less than normal.. I guess you're not a drummer, huh?
Def Leppard isn't just good at playing really good music and writing down kick ass lyrics...
If you try to see them in a deeper point of view, their personalities blend well after they settled down without Pete Willis...

No it doesn't? You're not a man if you can't cry at something as sad as that. That's fucking backwards to say that you're a man for admitting it.
