@Susan blanks I also was a teen in the 80's and every genre of music was good...New Wave/R & B/ Rock / Metal / Hip Hop just name it...that decade was incredible for music!
Isn't this video sort of in Reference to Marilyn Monroe (because of the blonde girl that they keep showing in the "Photograph", 'cause her white dress looks similar to the one that Marilyn used to wear when she was Modeling) ??
I was 20 in 1982. These were the best times. My late girlfriend was a huge def leppard fan. We didn't meet until our late 50s. Her 1st husband took her def leppard poster and CDs and destroyed everything. When we got together and i heard all that i got her all types of def leppard stuff. Even a signed picture of the band. I surprised her with it. She cried when she saw it all. And the one poster he ripped apart was the same one i get for her. She held me so tightly. I love you Dannie Jo. I miss you Dannie Jo. I want to be with you Dannie Jo. Its been so lonely since you left me Dannie Jo. ❤❤❤
Definitely read the drummers story. After a horrible car accident where he lost his arm. He retrained himself on drums and plays one arm and double bass. He is amazing to watch.
'Photograph' is the perfect rock song. It has everything: good riffs, a great chorus and hook, and you can tell these guys are having a blast in this video. They love what they do, and it's hard not to get sucked into that energy. When this song came out, it was on MTV non-stop. 'Pyromania', the album it was released on, became a huge hit in the US,, solidifying Def Leppard as one of the biggest bands, if not the biggest, of the 80's.
That was a priceless reaction Jamal! I laughed so many times and that laugh of yours, shit it's contagious! And yes, simpler times! The 80's were simply the best! ;-) Hope you check out more Def Leppard as they are 40 years strong, freshly into the Rock Hall of Fame and selling out stadiums with Motley Crue next summer!! And many of the guys are now into their 60's. They are only getting better.
I was born in 1960 and have been subjected to so many different eras of music from the 1950's on up to modern day. My favorite time was when I was a teenager and this group was just showing up when I was a teenager. They are an awesome group with great talent. Mutt Lange did an absolute great thing when he helped them get recognition. So in my opinion they are an amazing group.
Early 80's was such a glorious time for music. When alot of bands really blasted on to the scene of metal/top 40/rock. Def leppard, Scorpions, Judas Priest, Metallica, Megadeath, and Iron Maiden just to name a few. This song released in 1983, not long before the drummer lost his left arm in a car accident.
I know I had to keep going back to Walmart on my lunchtime to keep replacing it !! Lol GREAT F**KIN TIME !!! p.s. WISH I HAD A TIME MACHINE FOR ANYWHERE EXCEPT FOR NOW !!! 👍💛
Yay for Leppard! New Years eve of 1984, the drummer Rick Allen lost his arm in a car accident. They have kept on with him since, and have always had a "never say die" attitude.
Being born in 1975 I grew up in a wonderful time for music! 70s rock, 70s and 80s country, and all the 80s pop I still cherish! I was musically blessed! Such good times!
Man, listening to this song in 2019..is like the first time I heard it hittin' hard in 1983...classic! I so greatly appreciate that you love all genres of music and expose people to new music that they would never listen too.
I’m a ‘79 baby, but I was just smacked in the face at “Love Bites” when I heard it on the radio at a very young age and they tie for my second place all time favorite band!! You have got to react to more of them please!! And I was sooo excited you did Van Halen’s 🌋 Eruption👍🏻👍🏻😱 Please do more 80’s hair metal 🤩
They are a great group. They took some time out, when the drummer lost an arm from a serious car wreck. They didn't want to leave their band Brother behind.
I saw them on this tour, opening for Billy Squier (“The Stroke”). My friend and I were standing on the second row of seats. Fantastic show. Great memories. Great album. 💜💜💜 And yes. I did have a Union Jack shirt. (I think it may still be around here somewhere.)
"Photograph" is a song performed by English hard rock band Def Leppard and produced by Robert John "Mutt" Lange. It is the lead single from the band's third studio album, Pyromania (1983). Their lead vocalist Joe Elliott has described the song as generally about "something you can't ever get your hands on".[4] When released as a single it reached No. 1 on the Billboard Top Tracks chart, where it stayed for six weeks, and No. 12 on the Pop Singles chart.[5] In 2006 the song was used in promotional adverts for the DVD release of Blades of Glory. In 2009 it was named the 13th greatest hard rock song of all time by VH1.[6] It was also listed as the No. 17 greatest song of the past 25 years by VH1.[7] In 2008, they performed the song with country pop singer Taylor Swift on CMT Crossroads. The performance was nominated for both Wide Open Country Video of the Year and CMT Performance of the Year at the 2009 CMT Music Awards. In 2013, the song was featured in the Grand Theft Auto V video game, on the Los Santos Rock Radio station.
This was a very important song for rock and pop.. one of the first and probably most notable of songs which brought a harder rock band to the top 40 charts
I was in 11th grade, this album was big, really big. Cranking it up on the boomboxes before homeroom. It was 83 Check out iron Maiden and judas priest to hear the real metal from the time.
F-f-f-foolin'... Wasted, Bringin' on the Heartbreak, High 'N' Dry (Saturday Night), Rock of Ages, Too Late For Love, ... and if you're looking for something you've probably heard before, Pour Some Sugar on Me.
I was born in 1975. I grew up with the BEST music! Hands down, baby! Listen to more Def Leopard! You won’t regret it. Love Bites is one of my all time favorites. ONE! There is so much great music from the 80’s it’s IMPOSSIBLE to list them all. 🤘
High N Dry is also my favorite DL album, by the time they got around to recording Hysteria Phil had more control over Joe and more influence in the band, which Steve hated, and it's why they lost their hard edge on Hysteria and after Steve died they really lost their hard edge. Phil was more into the glam stuff and wanted the band to focus more on being rich and famous and attracting more women to their shows. It worked for them but after Hysteria their next few albums did not sell as well because they lost their core audience once bands like Guns N Roses came out and brought back the hard edge. Those first three albums were awesome, Hysteria had some good songs on it, but once I heard a couple of tracks off the album after Hysteria I lost interest in them myself. Steve was driving force of that harder edge and once he died this gave Phil and Joe no resistance to making DL into a full blown chick band.
Ron Just Ron - not the only band to go thru that in the 80’s. Between Steve having performance anxiety and drug addiction issues, and their drummer losing an arm- they went thru some stuff as a group. Perhaps they were worried about surviving as a band while waiting for Rick to recover and build a new drum set. They are talented but not everyone can be Led Zeppelin 😎
One of the greatest Pop Rock songs of all time. Listened to this over and over again on my small boom box and watched them kick ass on the MTV video fights for 10 weeks. What great times for music!!!!
When I was 9 years old (I'm 37 next month) my father took me to see Def Leppard during their Hysteria tour. If I had to remember correctly it was amazing...and the bass was bumping so hard i had to pee a lot...lol Great reaction as always! You're an inspiration to me and my new channel. please keep up the good work and the grind!
"The 80's is where it was at man, when life was simple" Amen brother. I was born in 1972 and got to experience the 80's in all its glory. I miss those days so much. And when we talk about the 80's, noband can represent that decade better than Def Leppard. I could recommend songs, but with them I just have to recommend albums, because very song is an instant classic. Hysteria is probably my favorite album, but Pyromania is fantastic as well. That being said, Love Bites, Armageddon It, Pour Some Sugar on Me, Rock of Ages, Bringing on the Heartache, Hysteria, lol take your pick man. Its all glorious.
We had a lot of hard rockin' cheese back in the day (the 80's). This was the last great album for the band, don't get me wrong, Hysteria was great and all, but they stopped really hard rockin' sound with this classic 3rd album release! It's still my all time favorite from the band. After Hysteria in 1988 they really started to suck if you ask me.
@@prs149 by today's standards, oh yeah it was. and I have pics to prove it, the hair the clothing, cars like the Chevette, it was all pretty cheesy as I remember it. I'm an '87 grad.
The 80’s were terrific, all types of music...New Wave, Progressive, Metal, POP, Hip-Hop played on the radio. We got a musical education in the 80’s...thanks for posting.
As a child born in the sixties I basically grew up in the 80s being my teenage years and early twenties and this was the best time of my life! Thank you for taking me back.
My age is gonna show a little here; but the first two cassette tapes I ever bought were both Def Leppard, On Through the Night and High and Dry. All the awesome videos you react to bring back so many memories. It's so lovely how you really listen to the lyrics as well as the melody!
Def Leppard! While they have a polished and kind of pop soundscape they rock pretty hard. I'd consider myself a fan of their 1987 album Hysteria and prior works more so than material post Hysteria. But, if you want some tracks: High N Dry, Rock of Ages, Pour Some Sugar on Me, Armageddon It, Love Bites, Another Hit and Run, On through the night, Foolin', Rock Brigade, Hello America..... I mean they got some classics and can rock. That is why they are still around killing it.
It's amazing to see Rick with his arm still there. This band is a group of TRUE friends! When he lost his arm the record lable wanted them to keep touring without him. They didn't know if he would ever play again. But, the rest of the guys said they would give him whatever time he needed to recover. And they are still touring together!!!
My insides started screaming when I saw this reaction. My fave Def Leppard song ever. I use to wear my dad's tapes out listening to this on repeat as a kid. I had the biggest crush on the lead singer.
A huge childhood favourite of mine! (Im an 80s kid) Def Leppard knows how to rock it out,and make it sound groovy as h*ll doing so! This was early early 80s,around 82-83. I seem to remember that this was prior to drummer Rick Allens tragic accident,where he lost his arm. But he battled through,came back as theyr 1 armed kick ass drummer,this band went through ALOT,but they were as close as if they were family. Breaking up was never even an option! Theese guys has hits after hits,i just love everything they released! Love Bites is a personal favourite (its abit slower then Photograph) Animal is another one,and here you can see Rick Allen back in the band,with double foot pedals,wich he explained was one of the main motivators for him,as he trained up his feet to compensate for the lack of 1 arm,while being able to do certain parts with his other arm. Rick is a true inspiration,motivator,legendary drummer! The band members didnt give up on him either,but helped him through it as best they could. I simply admired everything they stood for and still stands for till this day,what they have accomplished against all odds,and for being amazing artists!
My brothers....I love them!! Taught me music from every style and genre. I can't believe this song is over half a century old!!! Pyromania, one of the best albums ever!! Foolin' , Rock of ages
This is the song that got me hooked on Def Leppard. It came out during my first year in college. I have seen them in concert almost every year since. Hysteria by far my favorite album mainly because it gave us the epic "Pour Some Sugar on Me" with the "romantical" lyrics: You got the peaches, I got the cream Sweet to taste, saccharine 'Cause I'm hot, say what, sticky sweet From my head, my head, to my feet Do you take sugar? One lump or two?
I grew up listening to Def Leppard thanks to my dear sweet brother may he rest in peace. This brings back memories of me & my brother listening to them. One song of theirs I can't keep from crying every time I listen to it is Animal cuz that was my brother's favorite songs from the Hysteria album not too long before he died
I love the smiles when the song moves you. I would love to see a reaction to Def Leppard Bringin on the Heartbreak. This is the song that put Def Leppard on the map.
This is 1983...this was played on the rock radio station I used to listen to (was still in high school) about once an hour. You couldn't get away from it.
Im 54, an def leppard is an still is my favorite group. I hope to take my 20 year old son to see them on the stadium tour. They all will rock loud in the stadiums, 80s rule!!!!
Get ready for your vaccination passport..... it's the only way you'll go to any concert or event..... Compliments of The ignorant sheep who buy into the hype.
Oh and the drummer had 2 arms. When they made hysteria he lost his arm in a car crash. He is still drumming for them today. 1 arm and all
GIO Gio yes he is!! And is amazing!!!
ffs his arm has been gone so long I forgot he played traditional grip (underhand left) in this video. (albeit I was like 6.)
Rick uses a series of foot pedals. Basically his left foot now plays what his left hand use to play.
DescendantofFools yes he does. Special made for him if I’m correct ?
I was thinking the same thing. Kind of weird now. When I saw them a couple of years ago, you just kind of expect the one armed drummer.
I wish the 80’s would return all the way. Loved that time.
Screw the 80's. All things considered, I'd choose the 90's.
I have a love/hate relationship with the 80's, my favorite times were the 60's and 70's.
First the 70s...then slide into the 80s! I loved them both!
@@susanmontgomery7121 Oh no way! 70s then 80s!
Yes! 80s was the best!
My mom (who turns 64 this year) heard me watching your reaction, and told me to crank it up.
AdraTheMetalOutlaw yup, I'm 67 and I've got the speakers wide open!
yep this is my time I'm 59 lol. favs of mine
Awesome
I'm 56...I still blast this music!!! And now so do kids!!!❤❤❤❤
AdraTheMetalOutlaw, love your Mother!! Crank it!
Whatever anyone has to say about Def Lep, they still have it together in 2019. They are still great live!
ZZ Top is better
@@shebamaree9026 Love Def Lep, Kiss, and ZZ Top. Still haven't seen ZZ Top live though...

@Susan blanks I also was a teen in the 80's and every genre of music was good...New Wave/R & B/ Rock / Metal / Hip Hop just name it...that decade was incredible for music!
Fuckin preach it
THE. BEST.
Me too. This was what was playing in the student parking lot most of the time.
I agree
This was 1983, before their drummer, Rick Allen, lost his left arm in a car accident. But it didn't stop him, he continued on drumming.
corvus13 Rick Allen, the thunder god
Thanks, captain obvious
@@Lastkingof33 fuck you.
Is it weird that it is weird to me to see him with two arms...
Isn't this video sort of in Reference to Marilyn Monroe (because of the blonde girl that they keep showing in the "Photograph", 'cause her white dress looks similar to the one that Marilyn used to wear when she was Modeling) ??
This is a perfect pop song. Def Lep were masters of writing hard rock with absurdly infectious hooks.
Very very wise to pair up with Mutt Lange. He taught them how to build a song, literally piece by piece.
I was 20 in 1982. These were the best times. My late girlfriend was a huge def leppard fan. We didn't meet until our late 50s.

Early Def Leppard is nice,"Bringing On The Heartbreak"
uh, that would be "Bringing on the Heartbreak"
Me and my Wine
Me and my wine also excellent!
Agreed. Their later stuff is musically shallow and boring.
in your round in your face. the best video
Definitely read the drummers story. After a horrible car accident where he lost his arm. He retrained himself on drums and plays one arm and double bass. He is amazing to watch.
Def Leppard- Love Bites.. one of my favorites from them!
*@Danielle Gorman* -- _"If you've got love in your sights...? Watch out! LOVE BITES!"_
Came out in 1983..heavy rotation on MTV that year. Your are right. The 80s were a more simple time. Nice reaction.
Dude said they had a “Thundercat” in the cage.....Funniest shit I’ve heard in forever!
Cracked UP
It needed to wait. Interrupting Phil's solo was not cool.
'Photograph' is the perfect rock song. It has everything: good riffs, a great chorus and hook, and you can tell these guys are having a blast in this video.

"What the heck is in that cage?Look like a thundercat.”😂😂😂
80' - please, brings that era again. The world was optimistic, I cry over it.
This song will be stuck in my head all day at work tomorrow!! Never fails 👏💯🎶😜
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Grunge killed rock, and Hip Hop has outsold it since 1993. Thanks, grunge.
Man, this video is permanently engrained in my head from the good old days of MTV. Still in its infancy, yet sadly also its peak.
My wife used to hang with these guys when she lived in the UK before I met her in Germany.
Too cool!
David Leland let’s hear the stories!
Your wife is a very lucky lady. Meeting them is #1 on my bucket list.
I wore this cassette OUT in the '80s
I know I had to keep going back to Walmart on my lunchtime to keep replacing it !! Lol
GREAT F**KIN TIME !!! p.s. WISH I HAD A TIME MACHINE FOR ANYWHERE EXCEPT FOR NOW !!! 👍💛
Def Leppard was my very first cassette! Good times and great memories! Love the '80s! :-)
Def Leppard "Bringin on the Heartache" is my favorite song.
Def Leppard:
Foolin
Love Bites
Hysteria
Gods of War
Armageddon it
Rocket
Too late for love
Animal
Don't forget "Rock Of Ages".

If you’ve ever been in a strip club, there’s a 99% chance you’ve heard “Pour Some Sugar on Me” ...
That what made them famous in the US
heard Def Leppard on mtv back in the 80's . i have never been to a strip club .
I have a good friend whose Dad used to own several of those in a large metropolitan area; I learned more about that business than I ever cared to.

Love this song and this group! Got to see them last summer! ❤

Love, love, love Def Leppard!!!!!!!! I Loved my teen years in the 80's so much fun and yes things were so much simpler and fabulous
They are a great group. They took some time out, when the drummer lost an arm from a serious car wreck. They didn't want to leave their band Brother behind.

This was a very important song for rock and pop.. one of the first and probably most notable of songs which brought a harder rock band to the top 40 charts
Hysteria, Bringing on the heartbreak, love bites, rock of ages
Welcome to MTV. Regardless of the visuals, or the lyrics, this song is incredibly good.
Whole albums High and Dry, Pyromania, Hysteria are Great.
One of the greatest guitar intros of any song ever.
Rest in peace Steve and back when ThunderGod had both arms 🎶
After Steve died, I kind of hoped they would bring Pete Willis back, but I guess that wasn't in the cards.
Never the same after Steve died. Beautiful, sensitive soul, grieve for him still after all of these years.
It was 1983 and this album was the shit! I’ve seen them 5 times.
I was in 11th grade, this album was big, really big.
Cranking it up on the boomboxes before homeroom.
It was 83
Check out iron Maiden and judas priest to hear the real metal from the time.
I was 3 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
@@jamelakajamal if you're interested in more Def Leppard, I'd try the song Bringin on the Heartbreak
Yep, that Pyromania album was massive for them.
Hysteria soundtrack AWESOME 💜💙💚💜💙💚
Just hearing a human being say "I've never heard of this band before" really hurt my soul, and am in utter disbelief this could actually happen..😂
It's a SCARY WORLD when you don;t know 10 songs by this Band ; (
F-f-f-foolin'... Wasted, Bringin' on the Heartbreak, High 'N' Dry (Saturday Night), Rock of Ages, Too Late For Love, ... and if you're looking for something you've probably heard before, Pour Some Sugar on Me.
This my favorite song of all time, Def Leppard being my 2nd favorite band. This song came out in 1983, the album was called Pyromania
2:58 Listen to that drum lick. Thank you, Mr. Linn.
I was born in 1975. I grew up with the BEST music! Hands down, baby! Listen to more Def Leopard! You won’t regret it. Love Bites is one of my all time favorites. ONE! There is so much great music from the 80’s it’s IMPOSSIBLE to list them all. 🤘
Jamel said "Looks like a Thundercat!!!" hahahaha 'Rock of Ages' or 'Foolin' are prolly their best tunes.
1976 here. The 80s WERE and STILL ARE the best stuff!! A lot of everything for everybody and so innovative too!
Listen to the Def Leppard song Rocket, I'm sure you've heard it
Daniel Salazar My personal fav!!!!
For about 40 years (60's thru 2000 or so), pop/rock music was INCREDIBLE! Then it all went largely downhill after the turn of the century.
Be the first to react to THE CULT: Fire woman. 80's, but not cheesy.
Also Love Removal Machine!!
Actually anything from Sonic Temple. That whole album has 0 filler songs!
That was a great one!
She sells sanctuary should be the first from the cult
Nah. Listening to rain while driving around los santos hits different man
A poster of Marilyn Monroe was the inspiration for this song. I loved the 70's/80's.
Early Def Leppard- song title “ Let it go”- it’s more raw sounding then this song. Check it out 😎
Geoff Sullivan High n’ Dry was definitely their best album
Let It Go is a very dirty naughty song, lol.
Oh hell, if it's raw you want, then check out "Wasted" from On Through the Night
High N Dry is also my favorite DL album, by the time they got around to recording Hysteria Phil had more control over Joe and more influence in the band, which Steve hated, and it's why they lost their hard edge on Hysteria and after Steve died they really lost their hard edge.

You're an inspiration to me and my new channel. please keep up the good work and the grind!
Do Duran Duran "A View To A Kill"
AMEN! LONG LIVE THE 80s
React to Motley Crue's -Looks That Kill video 🤘🤘
"The 80's is where it was at man, when life was simple" Amen brother. I was born in 1972 and got to experience the 80's in all its glory. I miss those days so much. And when we talk about the 80's, noband can represent that decade better than Def Leppard. I could recommend songs, but with them I just have to recommend albums, because very song is an instant classic. Hysteria is probably my favorite album, but Pyromania is fantastic as well. That being said, Love Bites, Armageddon It, Pour Some Sugar on Me, Rock of Ages, Bringing on the Heartache, Hysteria, lol take your pick man. Its all glorious.
React to Pour Some Sugar on Me, by Def Leoppard!
First time I heard this song was prom night 1983. Life changer. It wasnt cheesy back then. It was epic.
Steamin' Steve Clark :`(
I see them in concert AGAIN in Sept with ZZTop and we better be out of our houses!!!!
We had a lot of hard rockin' cheese back in the day (the 80's). This was the last great album for the band, don't get me wrong, Hysteria was great and all, but they stopped really hard rockin' sound with this classic 3rd album release! It's still my all time favorite from the band. After Hysteria in 1988 they really started to suck if you ask me.
It wasn't cheesy back then
@@prs149 by today's standards, oh yeah it was. and I have pics to prove it, the hair the clothing, cars like the Chevette, it was all pretty cheesy as I remember it. I'm an '87 grad.
Phil Collen and Steve Clark complimented each other on guitars so well.
First, so I'll be the guy who tells him to react to the Nickelback song.
The 80’s were terrific, all types of music...New Wave, Progressive, Metal, POP, Hip-Hop played on the radio. We got a musical education in the 80’s...thanks for posting.

I am soooo glad someone touched on the best band ever!!!! Check out more of their music.. they rock!!!
Yes!! This is my music! I had the time of my life in the 80’s rockin to this!! ❤️Tennessee
As a child born in the sixties I basically grew up in the 80s being my teenage years and early twenties and this was the best time of my life! Thank you for taking me back.
80s man What a decade. 😎😎😎😎🤘🤘🤘🤘
HUGE band. Can't believe you have only done one song from them man! Seriously. You cannot talk about 80s nightlife without them!
My age is gonna show a little here; but the first two cassette tapes I ever bought were both Def Leppard, On Through the Night and High and Dry. All the awesome videos you react to bring back so many memories. It's so lovely how you really listen to the lyrics as well as the melody!
Def Leppard! While they have a polished and kind of pop soundscape they rock pretty hard. I'd consider myself a fan of their 1987 album Hysteria and prior works more so than material post Hysteria. But, if you want some tracks: High N Dry, Rock of Ages, Pour Some Sugar on Me, Armageddon It, Love Bites, Another Hit and Run, On through the night, Foolin', Rock Brigade, Hello America..... I mean they got some classics and can rock. That is why they are still around killing it.
It's amazing to see Rick with his arm still there. This band is a group of TRUE friends! When he lost his arm the record lable wanted them to keep touring without him. They didn't know if he would ever play again. But, the rest of the guys said they would give him whatever time he needed to recover. And they are still touring together!!!
My insides started screaming when I saw this reaction. My fave Def Leppard song ever. I use to wear my dad's tapes out listening to this on repeat as a kid. I had the biggest crush on the lead singer.
A huge childhood favourite of mine! (Im an 80s kid) Def Leppard knows how to rock it out,and make it sound groovy as h*ll doing so! This was early early 80s,around 82-83. I seem to remember that this was prior to drummer Rick Allens tragic accident,where he lost his arm. But he battled through,came back as theyr 1 armed kick ass drummer,this band went through ALOT,but they were as close as if they were family. Breaking up was never even an option! Theese guys has hits after hits,i just love everything they released! Love Bites is a personal favourite (its abit slower then Photograph) Animal is another one,and here you can see Rick Allen back in the band,with double foot pedals,wich he explained was one of the main motivators for him,as he trained up his feet to compensate for the lack of 1 arm,while being able to do certain parts with his other arm. Rick is a true inspiration,motivator,legendary drummer! The band members didnt give up on him either,but helped him through it as best they could. I simply admired everything they stood for and still stands for till this day,what they have accomplished against all odds,and for being amazing artists!
My brothers....I love them!! Taught me music from every style and genre. I can't believe this song is over half a century old!!! Pyromania, one of the best albums ever!! Foolin' , Rock of ages
This is the song that got me hooked on Def Leppard. It came out during my first year in college. I have seen them in concert almost every year since. Hysteria by far my favorite album mainly because it gave us the epic "Pour Some Sugar on Me" with the "romantical" lyrics: You got the peaches, I got the cream
Sweet to taste, saccharine
'Cause I'm hot, say what, sticky sweet
From my head, my head, to my feet
Do you take sugar? One lump or two?
I grew up listening to Def Leppard thanks to my dear sweet brother may he rest in peace. This brings back memories of me & my brother listening to them. One song of theirs I can't keep from crying every time I listen to it is Animal cuz that was my brother's favorite songs from the Hysteria album not too long before he died
I love the smiles when the song moves you. I would love to see a reaction to Def Leppard Bringin on the Heartbreak. This is the song that put Def Leppard on the map.
This is 1983...this was played on the rock radio station I used to listen to (was still in high school) about once an hour. You couldn't get away from it.
Im 54, an def leppard is an still is my favorite group. I hope to take my 20 year old son to see them on the stadium tour. They all will rock loud in the stadiums, 80s rule!!!!
Get ready for your vaccination passport..... it's the only way you'll go to any concert or event..... Compliments of The ignorant sheep who buy into the hype.
