      Margarita He made me cry. Just the determination he had to keep going and the support he had gives me much admiration for these guys! I’ve loved them for years and saw them via a friend from Scotland who had taped a Top of the Pops with them performing back in the early 80’s.

Last time they were in Buffalo, Phil had an emergency and had to go home. The substitute did a fine job substituting for Phil too.

    I'm a black guy and DEF LEPPARD is my all time favorite band! PYROMANIA was my first album that I bought by them and I wore it out. I had the neighbors complaining about the loud music, but I didn't give a damn! This ceremony and induction was so well deserved. I can't think of a group more deserving! They have truly earned it! The standing ovation for Rick did bring tears to my eyes. These guys aren't just bandmates but truly are as Joe said- "brothers. " I thank DEF LEPPARD for all the great music over the years. True fans, like myself, look forward to all the great things moving forward for this band and beyond. "True legends" is the term that I use to describe this band and their influence on rock-n-roll and music as a whole. Keep rockin', Guys! Music ain't nothing without you! You got my blessing! Peace.

      Think about it, if it wasn’t for Pete Willis,there probably be Def Leppard today cause joe Elliot missed the bus and walked and bumped into him and as for Steve Clark, that was his college buddy. People don’t really know much Pete Willis did to make that band to get it going and deserves more credit.

I'm not a big fan, to each his own, but this guy is grounded AF. I like his "working class" grateful attitude. They overcame a lot of adversity. Not an easy way to make a living, even without tragedy. Great speech. Respect.

      They have always kept their working class roots in their hearts. They are known for their strong work ethic, loyalty to one another, and being humble and down to earth in interviews and when meeting their fans. I’ve heard quotes from all of them saying how they are all great friends and really just love each other and have fun together. Truly brothers.
      And on top of all that, they can still rock!
      I’ve always loved Van Halen too, but that band was never short on egos and that has just never been a thing in DL.

    Steve Clark's musical contribution was not just important for Def Leppard but was also instrumental in a lot of d 90s and later bands who looked to the sound of Def Leppard as an inspiration.

    I used to listen to the song Foolin over and over on the Jukebox in the children's home i was in the early 1980's.
    Many years later i was doing security at the Indiana state fair grounds in the early 2000's, and got to see them in concert.
    I saw the drummer flying a kite while he was waiting before the concert.
    So your band has been in my life for a very long time.

    My favorite moment was Joe Elliot saying "Rick Allen everybody." The "everybody" is acknowledgement of the fact that rock n roll is so diverse and there's a sizable portion of the crowd who are not fans of " Dec Leapard" per se. But they are cousins in an extended family and they damn well know what happened to Rick Allen. So that standing ovation was heart warming cause it was earned from a larger demographic than the guys in the band were used to. You could see it on the faces of the bandmembers. Yeah, watching Rick get teary eyed was the highlight of the night along with the Stevie Nicks/Don Henley duet and watching Robert Smith sing "Just Like Heaven."

    Captains Log, Star date August 16th (We Love You Joe Elliot😂❤️)
    Def Leppard has been one of my favorite bands growing up, my brother got me hooked on Rock Of Ages and it grew from there. Since I first heard Def Leppard nearly 11 years ago, I have taken a list of songs from albums like High N’ Dry, Pyromania, Hysteria, Adrenalize, Euphoria, and more- my most favorite songs being Stagefright, I wanna Touch U and Gods of War.
    Seeing Brian May give such an amazing speech telling amazing stories and telling their friendship and praising a band that deserves way more credit than many people give them. Watching everyone scream for Rick Allen and see him bust out in tears definitely softened my hardened heart, he deserved every second of that standing ovation. This band has been to hell and back since the beginning and has earned their success, we need more rockstars like Def Leppard in our corner. I hope one day to at least see these guys on stage when the virus subsides, meeting them would be even better but one can dream! Thank you guys for making our childhoods and blowing our minds with every show.

    Gentlemen, I've been a fan since I was 14 but really got into the band more after seeing you guys perform in 1999 at the Ohio State Fair. I've seen you 2 more times since. In 2005/2006, I saw my marriage end. Watching the Rock of Ages DVD (with band commentary, of course) helped bring my smile back during those months. I can never thank you enough & pray that I can thank you in person someday. I'm so happy for you all & thanks again for all the years of awesomeness!
