    Lost his arm in a car accident. The band waited for him to learn foot drumming. Great friends in my book. Cared more for his friend than fame. Try finding that now.

    • @athlonen
      @athlonen Před 3 lety +13

      @@the1andonlyknudsen no. Rick didn't want to give up. 3 days after the accident, Phil and Steve (the guitarists) visited him in the hospital, where Rick was upbeat, saying "I'm going to play drums again!".. They initially thought "It's the medication!" A week or so after the accident, he was in the studio helping to put together a drum set to his specifications, to where whatever sounds he would play with his left hand, he would be able to use his feet to produce those sounds. The band was NEVER going to force him out; if he wanted out, it was going to be Rick's decision. Rick never gave up, to the point that they took a break to play the Donnington festival in 1986. Rick didn't miss a beat, in front of 65000 people. Joe Elliott introduced him, and the place went ballistic: straight cheers and applause for a good 5 minutes straight. Rick balled his ass off behind the drumkit, because he knew that it was a big stage in his comeback. He still gets that applause to this day.
      Watch their induction speed at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. You'll see what I mean there.

    It is an amazing story.They had put out a couple of albums and had a couple of minor hits,but when they put out the "Pyromania" album,they had hit after hit and became huge.Then the drummer looses his arm in a car accident.They had been great friends and worked hard for years together to get where they were,but he has one arm.Most bands(and it would be hard to blame them),would have said" sorry,man but we are finally at the top and we are going to have to go on without you.Who would ever think that he could ever be able to play drums one handed at all,let alone well enough to play in one of the hottest bands at the time.But,he was their friend and they had faith that he could do it.They put their careers on hold(at the worst possible time)and waited for two years for him to recover,a special drum set invented and for him to learn how to play again.The album this came off of was their first record after his 2 year recovery and they started back just where they left off. A major band,putting out hit after hit again.To me,it is one of the greatest stories in music history.I love their music,but I respect everything they did to get to being known as one of the best rock bands ever.

    Rick Allen lost his arm when he was 21. He had been with Def Leppard since he was 15. They DEFINITELY weren't gonna leave him behind when he lost his limb. They stayed with him and waited for him to heal. It's beautiful.
    He still suffers PTSD from the accident to this day, and says drumming is a meditational healing for him.

  • @Mainecoonlady.
    @Mainecoonlady. Před 3 lety +15

    Def Leppard is the quintessential 80s bands. Their set up had 3 guitar players and all five could sing backup. That makes a band successful. Rick Allen, drummer, car crash was so violent that the seat belt severed his arm at the shoulder. After rehab, the drums were re fitted with extra foot pedals so that he compensated for the lost arm. Also note Steve Clark, classically trained guitarist, died in 1991, from alcohol poisoning. These guys have been through a lot but they are family and they stick together.
    If you have a chance, search you tube for their acceptance speech into the R&R Hall of Fame. Joe Elliot give a great speech about their journey.

    Def Leopard is one of my favorite bands! Their High and Dry album came out in 1981 and is STILL my favorite album by them, though I LOVE everything they've done! When they made the album High and Dry, they were very young - the drummer was 15, I think, and the others were all 18 and younger. When the drummer lost his arm in an auto accident, the band said they would not go on without him. So he stepped up and became a kick ass one armed drummer, the best!! They put everything into everything they do!

    They don't call Rick Allen "The Thunder God" for nothing. He lost his arm in a horrible car accident and his band mates let him recover and learn how to play with one arm for about 2 years (I think). He plays everything he played with his left arm with his left foot now. That came in between the albums Pyromania and Hysteria.

    he lost it in an accident, I think car accident before the recording of the second album. Instead of replacing him the band took time off to help him rehabilitate and relearn the drums. They even fashioned a special drum kit configuration, customized for him.

    Def Leppard is my favorite 80s rock band. The album "Hysteria" is, to this day, still among my top 5 all-time favorite albums ever, and the song "Hysteria" is my favorite track. I saw them in '88 on this tour. They called it, "In The Round, In Your Face". The stage was in the middle of the arena. When they did this song, my girlfriend and I spent pretty much the whole song in a kiss, as this was already our song.

The two testing music videos they used for selling MTV in Europe were: "Money for Nothing", by Dire Straits, and Hysteria, by Def Leppard. Money for Nothing went on to be the first video played on MTV Europe, while Hysteria was the second.

    Between Rick Allen losing his arm in a car accident, the loss of their guitarist Steve Clark to alcohol poisoning then Joe Elliot caught pneumonia which transitioned into the "100 Day Cough" or Whooping Cough which completely destroyed his vocal chords. His voice was never the same after that but he powered through and sounds good again and still tour as of today.
    The band has been through hell and back. Elliot said that Jon Bon Jovi joked that he wouldn't ride in a car with him because they were cursed. After all they have been through its easy to think it may be true.

    Animal is a kickass rocker by Def Leppard with an absolutely brilliant guitar solo! :-)

    With my girl I have 7 boys with nothing works like Def Leppard. Hysteria is MONEY!!!!! Maybe that's why I have 7 boys. New to channel, love new reactions to Def Leppard, mine was at 11 at my friend's house that had older sisters. They're still bringing 100% to fans.

    Its true. Rick Allen is his name, and yes he only has one arm. He was in a tragic car crash in 1984, where he lost his arm in a rollover accident. The band didn't know if they would ever play again. Against ALL ODDS, Rick Allen reinvented himself and taught himself how to play mostly with his feet. This album is a testament to his dedication and hard work to retrain your brain. Great album, (the actual show was even better), great band.

    giggles...No you're not trippin'. Rick Allen (drummer) had both arms when Def Leppard,
    began recording tunes, then lost it later in an accident so after his recovery he learned
    to drum abit differently. Das heart-felt part of their story ist das band still wanted
    Rick Allen (their friend) to play, und they recorded just as many hits after his return. :-)

    2:26 when you've seen Rick Allen, and that "is the drummer playing with one arm?" moment suddenly takes hold, but you don't want to interrupt the flow of the song to voice your opinion of such! Gold! This was what hooked me, way back in the late 80s when I was watching the video for Rocket (oddly enough, now my very favourite song of all time), and had that "does the drummer only have one arm?" Yes, that is correct, he dos only have one arm! Too many people have already tried to describe how he lost it etc.
    And today, he is perhaps the best drummer in the world because of his achievement in returning from an adversity that would've retired pretty much every other drummer, and his talent having IMPROVED out of sight since. He might not play as fast or as "technically proficiently" as a Joey Jordinson (RIP) or Raymond Herrera (ex Fear Factory) but what he does is simply brilliant. Do yourself a favour and check out some live videos from their shows in recent times, most notably this piece of action they always play at the end of the instrumental song Switch 625, and watch all the way to the end. The Thundergod has no issues with his "disability". An absolute legend and a true, genuine bloke. Certainly my Hero. czcams.com/video/sh9aHoSgl3U/video.html
    And watching through this video, I absolutely loved your reaction, and the unconscious respect you afforded him, and the band, earned you another subscriber today :-) Rock on 🤘
