The drummer has one arm...seriously. He was in an accident after they made it big and instead of replacing him, they kept him. He came up with a drum set that he could play with ONE ARM! EPIC! One of my fave bands from the 80's for sure. Geez I'm old.
True story. Props to Rick Allen to relearn his craft using his feet. And props to the band mates who treasured friendship over profit because after the hugely successful Pyromania album was released instead of riding that wave and touring like crazy and/or going to studio right away to make another one, they waited four years of their prime earning years to wait for Rick to acclimate before releasing Hysteria (the album this song is on) which is now one of THE highest selling albums of all time - it turned Def Leppard from successful and popular to a global megastar band.
I once met Rick Allen. I found him to be rather disarming!
Great documovie that you should see.
Joe Elliott said that they were not gonna replace him. they were just gonna quit. Rick came up with the idea of the electronic drum set and they waited and let him learn it before they decide to continue on. Just adding a little more info to your statement.
@@timish71 thanks! I didn't know that part.
Gotta respect that his band mates didn't turn their backs on him when he lost his arm in a car accident.
Whatttt?! That’s so crazy, and he still plays after that
@@BradAndLex he had an American muscle car and had an accident, the seat belt released and took his arm off at the shoulder
He was driving a C4 Corvette in England. Left hand drive in a right hand drive country. Was trying to pass on a 2 lane road. I forget all the details, but there was a stone fence and a field involved. It was detailed in their VH1 biography.
Def Leppard truly are a brotherhood. They love each other through thick and thin.
Their guitarist Vivian Campbell has battled Hodgkin's Lymphoma in recent years, and he still rocks out with the band.
The 80s Were a Time Still As Everyone Was There For Eachother. The 80s Had No BS Like Today. If You Belittled Our Country, Our Flag, Our People, Our Morale, You Just Simply Got Your Ass Kicked. There Was No In between... Talk Shit, Tou Got Called Out, You Made Yourself Look Like An Ass And You Still Got Your Ass Kicked. Not Many People Crossed Lines Back Then. We e Had Respect And Put Those in Check That Needed It !!! Good Times !!!
You would be surprised how many reactors miss that the drummer only has one arm, they are so trying to put a show on for the subscribers by rocking out that they fail to pay attention to the video and don't pick up on it which is an epic fail so well done for spotting it. It shows you are interested in what you are doing and not just faking it for those that are watching.
They missed it in a previous video reaction
"they are so trying to put a show on for the subscribers by rocking out".... nailed that!
@@spudrubble Which one? They have only done 2 from Def Leppard, and this was the first.
The God Of Thunder keeps the beat with one arm better than many drummers with both arms.
However, some people focus way too much on the video, so much that they don't listen to the song, that annoys me even more lol. Brad & Lex don't do that though :)
Total feel good jam! This whole album "Hysteria" is nothing but hits!
if this is the Zak Wylde you're a badass guitar player, i have enjoyed your music as well. if you are thanks for all your jams.
I loved the band, my favorite band of all time!
Yeah, it's all radio hits. That's why i prefer their first 2 records.
They need too check out Run Riot from the same album.
Def Leppard is my favorite 80’s band. And the fact that their drummer has 1 arm and still kills it, makes me appreciate them that much more!
To this day, Def Leopard still sells out major venues when they are on tour. They are one of the most famous 80’s bands.
This is truth
Sooo true! Twice in last few years!! My first cassette tape in 83’
Right?! And they're gonna be in FL June 18-19, 2022 with Motley Crue and Poison. I think Brad & Lex need to go and experience the 80s live in person! Lex needs it to feed her soul.
Leppard*** not Leopard.
@@Danimal77 yep. Sorry. Auto correct got me.
This was probably their biggest album. They waited years to produce this because the drummer lost his arm and they had to wait til he was able to record. Props to the drummer for his determination and props to the band who waited and stuck by him.
They actually recorded the album while he was recovering. The drums were programmed by the producer Mutt Lange. That takes nothing away from the fact that Rick Allen is a beast. I saw them in 2006 and he plays better with one arm than some dudes with all 4 limbs.
@@fubar1217 Pyromania was big...and bang, this one is bigger with one arm drummer !!!
Really they didn't wait that long it was 3 years between records and he only cost them one year so they didn't have to wait long I've seen Pink Floyd and Boston take over 8 years to make a record LOL
They were still well-known, especially in the UK, before this album
80's classic rock band, one of the best. soo many great songs. Rick Allen was the drummer, he lost his arm before they made the 'Histeria' album this song is from. They waited for him to recover and work out how to still play with one arm, and supported him all the way through it. There was never any question of replacing him... what a bunch of lads... awesome
This song is still better than 90% of what is on the radio today. This album has stood the test of time
Def Leppard's High and Dry record, is heavy guitar, two arms drumming, and tighter sound. "You Got Me Running" is incredible.
A proper Def Leppard album. High n Dry is always the correct answer when the question is Def Leppard.
Rock of ages is classic too. But that was probably on pyromania. Can’t go wrong regardless with DL
Best album by far high n dry is one of the best albums in history
YGMR is one of my favorites. Nice call. All Def Leppard is great because the band is great. H 'N D is awesome, but the snobbiness and need to reference "two arms drumming" is pretty stupid and fucking tacky on you. Why do you dudes need to be such douchebags? Toughness is earned, not threatened.
I personally think we overrate High and Dry album because of Rick Allen's accident and change of sound that followed a couple of albums later. but for me personally, Hysteria is their best musical album, and Pyromania is their definitive heavy metal/hard rock sound. High and Dry was a very good album, but lacked hit songs outside of Bringin on the hearbreak. It is just my opinion, so if you disagree, it is totally fine. but to me, what separates great artists from great technicians is the difference from say, Jimy Hendrix who was the best of his era as a gutiar player, he was also the best song writer for rock and roll and one of the more memorable singers of his time. Steve Vai and Joe Satriani are great guitarists, but what great songs have they written that an average music fan can recall? to me, High and Dry sounds great for metal heads and hard rock purists that appreciate the early 80s sound. but nobody today remembers Al Di Meola anymore for a reason.
PS- Same goes for the Detroit madman, Ted Nugent. he continues to claim that he is one of the best virtuosos of alltime guitarists, but he was not considered one of the best in his own era. and outside of Cat Scratch Fever, he didn't have other top chart songs. his solos for his time, were fairly fast but it hardly ever strayed from his same scale and licks. but I still see people who bats for Ted. I don't get it as a guitar player myself, but whatever floats your boat, I guess.
Yes, Def Leopard is a rock band.
They came before the other band.
The drummer lost his arm in an accident and instead of replacing him, they waited for him to re-learn how to play the drums one-armed.
Then, came up with a drum setup that helped.
The Drummer is playing with his left foot 🦶 what his left arm would normally play. Amazing!!!
More songs by Def Leppard - Paper Sun, Hysteria, Love Bites, Armageddon It, Rocket, Photograph, When love and hate collide, Rock of ages 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
LEX, this what we talking about when we say 80s hairbands. Def Leppard, Motley Crue, Poison, it was the radio side of the 80s while Metallica, Iron Maiden, etc. were "metal", kind of underground music. Either side, dudes had huge hair!
The "hair metal" band that doesn't sound like hair metal.
Def Leppard isn’t a hair band. Hair bands were 80s Los Angeles. Def Leppard is from 70s England....they’re not spandex and day glow and neon.
They’re ripped jeans and tshirts.
Thin Lizzy/AC/DC/queen/Led Zeppelin
Love a five part harmony. When the chorus kicks in and everyone singing. Well done.
Def Leppard is one of the biggest rock bands ever.They are in the Rock n Roll hall of fame.
One of my favorite rock bands ever. I miss the 80’s so much.
That whole album is a masterpiece
Facts. I was a teen when this LP came out, and I'm still playing it today.
@@j43k I play it today on cd how about you what format?
@@marksantucci4230 At home, the vinyl, every time. I still have the CD somewhere too!
@@j43k I play mine at the office on my walkman during lunch break.
I had it on vinyl, cassette tape, and CD!
Rick Allen the drummer, his left foot basically does on a pedal what his left arm used to do
This entire album is great driving music. When you're on a road trip or just a lot of driving this is something you'd want to be listening to.
Lex: "I feel like this would be on Full House!"
Me: ...I got in trouble when parents found out I had Def Leppard because it was "rock" lmao...
Man. This is a rock Ballard. One of the true great 80s bands of all time
One of my favourite concerts ever! When this song /album came out, I got to see them play all of these songs, in Moncton New Brunswick Canada back in the late 80s. Every F'n song on this album are F'n great!
Hysteria - the album that this song is from is one of THE highest selling albums of all time. Most of it is top-notch greatness. BUT it's a little over polished and has a 'pop' sound to it. Which appealed to a wider audience than just the "rockers". I remember one song from their album "Pour Some Sugar On Me" was played at my high school senior prom for instance. I have no doubt Lex and Brad would both love nearly every song on this album. My favorite is the opening track "Women". When this album came out I used to listen to the tape on my Walkman every single day either on my way to school or home. (I had 3 tapes that I would rotate including this one).
IF you want a little heavier sound of theirs go backward in their catalog to stuff from their Pyromania or the High and Dry albums:
Mirror Mirror
Bringing on the Heartache
Got Me Runnin
Caught Me Under Fire
Foolin'
Too Late For Love
Rock Rock Till You Drop
Photograph
You both would dig every one of those. And yes Def Leppard is a "ROCK BAND" where as Metallica is a Rock Band but subgenre Metal Rock Band. Other popular bands that would be like Def Leppard "Rock Band" include AC/DC, Van Halen, Journey, Boston, Whitesnake, Scorpions, Ozzy Osborne, Motley Crue, Poison, Bon Jovi
Yeah, I wore out that album as well - there were only 2 songs on the whole thing that I thought were just ok, every other song was top notch.
@@andrewawakened628 Which ones were they, if you don't mind me asking?
@@the406seadonkey6 Gods of War was one of them, I'm not sure about the other
I have seen them LIVE at least 10 times and they have never disappointed. Their guitars and vocal harmonies and stage energy is top notch. These guys are true friends who have been touring for decades and the only member to leave the band, died. When their drummer, Rick Allen lost his arm in a car crash, they kept him and helped him adapt. Look closely at their videos and see him, close your eyes and listen to the drums. It's amazing.
My fave band! Ive seen them live 27 times and they still rock to this day! Amazing talent!
People never remember Clarkey. Brilliant and underated guitarist.
They were INSTANTLY groovin' to the melody.
Drummer is banging those skins, keeping the beat with one arm!
For sure summer chill rock. Sitting out drinking a cold one, just appreciating the summer and doing a whole lot of nothing.
One of the songs of my youth. Crazy watching young folks (yeah, you) react to it so many years later. Whoa. Stirs my heart in a strange way.
Great music never dies!
To be honest, younger generations have had to turn back to older music purely because this quality doesn't exist any more.
Def Leppard did some very polished music, like so many other bands from this era. Guns N’ Roses became so popular, as they went back to the raw sound of Rock N’ Roll. Just like the Grunge bands did in the 90’s.
And today we are all back with the over-produced polished music - but let’s hope things will change again.
Ok, noober. lol
Couldnt have explained it better myself good job
"Hysteria" made it to #2 (I think) on the top 100 but the impressive part is it stayed on the top 100 for 3 years. One of the greatest bands in history and they're still together and touring today except for Steve Clarke RIP
Love Def Leppard ❤ Played this whole album on repeat when it came out! Pour Some Sugar On Me is a must🤟
Ha! Me too. I received this on cassette tape for a high school graduation present. Wore it out!
@@tammymartin7017 I had to make mix tapes so I wouldn't wear out all my favorite cassettes lol. I was so happy when CD's came out..no more repairs with a pencil and tape 🤣🤟
@@kellyhouse4263 this one and Enigma MCMXC a.D. were my staples!
@@tammymartin7017 My poor Metallica tapes, I had to start buying 2 at a time lol
@@kellyhouse4263 hahaha! Right?!? And White Zombie too!
I love watching Lex’s face during these reactions. I can soooo see her at a concert in the front row perched on Brad’s shoulders just rockin out. She could be a throwback.
Lex talking about life in the 80's..."What did they eat? What hair products did they use?" I was laughing my ass off. I never felt older in my life. I felt like she was talking about 80s people like we were an ancient civilization or something. She is absolutely awesome and hilarious. Just for the record, we ate STEAK, POTATOES, ITALIAN, PIZZA or basically everything everyone eats right now except now people eat healthier...more organic today. We listened to this stuff in our cars and homes but on TAPES. I remember when this album (Hysteria) was released and my buddy who were in high school traveled to Seattle on a 2 hour drive just to get this tape. We listened to it all the way home and were blown away by how good it was. There's something really great about listening to something new and realizing that nothing had been heard like this before and knew we were listening to something that was going to be huge before it was. The 80s were killer and I would love to go back. Best concert I have ever seen b.t.w. Love your reviews guys and watch every day.
I love how you both are so open-minded and interested in listening to so many different types of music. Love your channel!
Def Leppard are an iconic band and should truly be respected. They didn’t give up on their mate, Rick Allen when he lost his arm in a horrific car accident in 1984. They let Pete Willis (one of their guitarists) go due to his alcoholism in 1982 and tried to help Steve Clark (their other guitarist) through his alcoholism however, he unfortunately died from a mix of prescription drugs and alcohol in 1991. Through their tragedies, they still managed to stay tight as a band, make great music and maintain true professionalism. Their music was great to play at parties or just cruising around town. I still listen to them in the car and find myself singing along whenever their tracks come up in my playlist. :)
80's Rock, people listened to it everywhere, at home, in the car, at the bar and clubs, at parties....you would dress in tight jeans, T shirts, boots, jean jackets, or leather jackets and the girls would wear tight sexy dresses and high heels, or also in jeans or tights and flashy tops....they would it all the same types of food you eat today, pizza, burgers & fires, subs, pasta, salads....etc...
I met my husband freshman year of high school 1989. We have always been avid concert goers and still see these guys whenever they are in town.
Drummer is Rick Allen. He lost his arm Dec 31st 1984 in a car accident. He retrained himself to use his left foot to play what his left arm did. His engineer came up with a pedal system. So he uses both feet along with his right arm. He never gave up and the rest of the band waited til he was ready to play again. They are a rock band. Good songs to check out are "rock of ages", "photograph", "pour some sugar on me" to name a few
God I fucking love the 80's definitely check out Journey - Faithfully 👌

I was born in the 80s, what a great time, I’m 38 and wish I would have lived my 20s through the 80s….everyone got along and now so much bs pushed, we need to get back to the 80s of love!
We listened to this just chilling or cruisin around even at partys. Good music is enjoyed everywhere and at anytime!
One of def Leppard best get in the car and drive songs
After the car crash took his arm, Rick Allen came back to the studio where the band had been recording. Nobody ever talked about replacing him or what they were going to do. They were just happy he was back and he'd just go into a room by himself....and spent his days figuring out how he could drum with one arm - setting up to drum with his feet, and practicing day after day. The band admits now, they were just happy he was doing something, but in the back of their minds of course he could never do what he once did. One day he called them into the room and proceeded to play one of their hits in their entirety on his new setup using his feet. By the end all of them were in tears.
Photograph, Pour Some Sugar on Me , Hysteria, Rock of Ages, oh crap almost forgot Bringin' On the Heartbreak, Foolin' .
Personally I think the right mode Def Leppard just works perfectly. Enjoyed the reaction keep it going .
After the drummer lost his arm in a car accident the band got behind him and they helped design a new drum kit so that he could play with both his feet and still kick butt on the drums like you would not believe.
Wish I had stock in hairspray back then. Great reaction. This is one of my favorite bands. Great reaction!
They played it in clubs in the '80s and it's also a good song riding down the road on the highway on a nice summer day with the windows down. Cool breeze blowing in your face jamming out.
They are rock. Their big break was in 1983 with the song Photograph. They rules the 80’s, this was played in the clubs, I was 18 in 1983. Drinking age was 18 in Wisconsin
Listen to
photograph
Armageddon
Pour some sugar on me
Love Bites (ballad)
Just a start, their catalog of songs is pretty big.
Rick Allen the drummer lost his arm in a car accident Nee Years Eve 1984, he lost control of his corvette, he was thrown from the car through the sun room and his seat belt severed off his left arm. The people who seen it happen save his life, the lady was a nurse. Than a guy came along and he helped her save his life. Theses 2 strangers, fell in love and got married. Rick always talks about it.
Seen them in concert in 2002 and it was AWESOME! Before going to work night shift my best friend and I would cruise around town. Pretty sad we had to use a HUGE boom box because her radio didn't work 😂. I would hold it out the window and just jamming. Everyone knew we were coming 🎉 THE GOOD OLE' DAYS ❤
LOVE DEF LEPPARD ❤❤❤
Def Leppard was my first big rock show in Tacoma, 1988. This whole album is a masterpiece. Keep Rock Alive!! 🤘🏽🖤🔥🙌🏼 ℁
Rick Allen on drums for Def Leppard, had 2 arms before a car accident severed his left arm in late 1984... he built an electronic drum kit and relearned play drums for this album 'Hysteria' in 1987, Def Leppard's 4th album that actually outsold Michael Jackson's "Bad" 😲 Rick Allen still plays drums for Def Leppard today...
Tragically, the blond guitarist Steve Clark passed away in 1991 after years of drug & alcohol abuse 😪
Def Leppard started in 1980 as a hard rock band, but realized they were musically closer to pop groups like Duran Duran. The band also includes singer Joe Elliott, bassist Rick Savage, guitarist Phil Collen... and guitarist Vivian Campbell who replaced the late Steve Clark...
Such a good song...Def Leppard was the under appreciated band of 80s and 90s and yet they lit it up
"Under appreciated"??? I remember when you moved the radio dial from station to station and all they played was Def Leppard! No B.S. Actual fact! Not to mention they can still to this day sell out arenas.
I like Def Leppard. When they came to San Antonio TX, I said I got to go see the drummer Rick Allen play.
Dude is amazing
Def Leppard became my favorite band when they decided to keep the drummer after his accident. Designed a drum set so he could continue playing.
It wasnt a case of keeping him, replacing him wasnt even a thought. They were just going to break up but instead Rick showed so much determination and courage they waited four years for him to relearn his craft and Hysteria is the result.
The one arm from a car wreck, the band kept him. Great Band.
Rick Allen is also a very good painter and photographer having held several exhibits of his work. Crazy life he's had. He dropped out of school and joined the band at 15, lost his arm at 21, Hall of Fame career, and sprinkling in fine art cause why not...
Just listen to the whole Hysteria album, every song is awesome!
I met him once at a coffee shop. I kept looking at him and he shook my and introduced him selp. He started laughing and I'm crying. I hugged him real hsrd.
One of my favorite bands!! In 2003, I was 17 and BEGGED my dad to get me Def Leppard concert tickets for Christmas. I didn't want anything else. He got online and bought 3 tickets for my mom to take me and one of my friends. I'm glad I got to see them when they were still fairly young. ❤❤❤
"Animal" is my favorite Def Leppard song.
We listened to it Everywhere , everyday !!! Wake up to go to school, clubs, in the car.. lol
To answer the question about setting,These apply to most classic 70's, 80's and 90's rock music- backyard barbecues, bonfires, whiskey bars, in the car driving on the highway or middle of nowhere taking backroads. While working on cars in the garage or just tinkering in there. Played low as background music when you have friends over for catching up or reminiscing. These are some of the settings this type of Rock music is listened to in. If anyone else has any more to throw in feel free.
One of my favorite albums to play guitar to. I saw this concert up in Anchorage Alaska back in 1989 when they first started the Hysteria Tour. It was AWESOME!!!!!!
This album came out in 87...good times the 80's!!
Rick Allen is one of the most inspiring figures in music for his AMAZING recovery... Love Rick and all the Leppards for life.
The drummer was in a car accident and had his arm torn off by the seat belt. They were able to reattach it but had to remove it a couple days later due to infection.
Always loved Joe Elliott's voice - true rock-n-roll, gritty, powerful voice and could hit high notes too.
RIP Stephen Maynard Clark (23- April-1960 - 08-Jan-1991) songwriter and lead guitarist Def Leppard.
This music video was shot very close to where I live. Def Leppard did a gig in The Netherlands in the late 80's but we only found out later that they made this video at the circus that came to town only 5 miles from here.
OH SHIT A DEF LEPPARD REACTION! NOW WE GETTIN TO THE JAMS BABY!
Saw them in concert a few years ago. Awesome!
Fun fact: Rick Allen (the drummer) gave Lars Ulrich (Drummer for Metallica) his snare drum to record Master of Puppets with. All these bands in the past toured together and were friends. Love your channel🤘🏼🇨🇦🤘🏼
I thought the drummer actually drove a better beat after he learned to play with one arm. It changed Def Leppard and it worked.
One of the best bands of all time. Ruled the 1980's. The setting for listening to Def Leppard is driving in your car rocking out. LOL
honestly the setting of this song is a heavy duty Diesel shop. my family run a trucking/gravel biz an i showed my uncle spotify. he went nuts on the classic rock area a music. and when we be working on the trucks, trailers. lying in grease/oil or mud. it’s a great tune to hear in the background when we be working on are trucks givin it all we got to fix whatever goes.
awesome to see you guys react to this band always a great tune. 🤟
The drummer went to the same school as me, and the bands first gig was at a school round the corner from where I once lived, I found all this out along after I became a fan
Rick Allen started in the band when he was only 15 yrs old. He lost his arm in his corvette from the seat belt in 1984.
These songs are perfectly crafted masterpieces... Soooo cool!
What a Band. Really these Guys are still going... And they Sound GREAT!!! Maybe our last 80's power chart band that can pull it off. DEF LEPPARD
YES THE SONG WAS PLAYED ALOT BACK IN THE DAY AT THE ROLLER SKATE RINK IN THE 80'S LOVE THE REACTIONS .... THEY ARE REALLY KNOWEN FOR THE LOVE SONGS
Lex"s face once she hears Def Leppard. I love her!
If im not mistaken, either this one or Love Bites was the last video with Steve Clark in it before he passed away. I really haven't listened to Def Leppard since. He was such a heartbeat of that band. RIP
I am old too. My favorite band. Rick allen is the drummer that lost his arm in a car accident between the pyromania and hysteria album. I still remember the first video when he made his come back which was the song "women" in 1987. That is when mtv still showed music video's lol. Geez, I am old.
Takes me right back to high school. Take me back to the 80s! Def Leppard was top of the list! So many great songs and albums! This album is all fire!
I Love Them !! So glad you took a Listen. Did you know their drummer lost his left arm, n is STILL Rocking it !!
heheh I love you guys and agree with the comments about the band sticking by their mate. Kudos and my heart goes to you!!!
One of my favorite choruses of all time. Love watching your reactions
Rock band, absolutely. Check out def leppard old stuff. "Bringing on the Heartbreak" or "Saturday Night, high & dry". Great music
The whole story of Rick Allen and the band's refusal to move on with another drummer and only came back when he was able to with his super special drum kit, it what makes Def Leppard one of the greatest bands in the history of music
I was 16 when this song came out. Loved it. Def Leppard was considered Rock and even Hard Rock. Some called it Metal, but it was more pop-oriented than a lot of Metal. As far as venues, people went to the concerts and listened to it in their cars, at the beach, working out, doing homework, on the job, etc. It was a top 40 radio song so you could listen to it in any venue you would listen to today's top 40.
What did we eat when this song came out? The same things we eat now. There were fewer easy, healthy options, but the average American diet has not changed much in my lifetime.
Def Leppard was even better before this album🤘 with songs like - Bringin' on the Heartbreak - Switch 625 - Let it Go - Comin' Under Fire - Foolin' - Stagefright - Rock of Ages...🤘🤘🤘
They were amazing back then. High n' Dry is one of my all-time fave albums. Before they got lost in pop. A casualty of the MTV video generation.
High n' Dry is still the best album they ever made.
Can't forget " too late for love "
Not better .. just different based on the times
@@Retirerick Sorry, I misspoke "Much Better"
The 1980s was a new experience for music. MTV actually played music videos, all day, every day. Coming home from school and watching MTV was how kids were experiencing music. Hair Metal, New Wave, and even the birth of mainstream hip/hop were expressed through elaborate and colorful videos. These “new” forms of music were piped into America’s living rooms. So, they still maintained a certain wholesomeness or in some cases a double entendre. Like another Def Leppard song, “Pour Some Sugar on Me.” Most of the music from that time was fun.
@Brad & Lex....Def Leppard was indeed a favorite group in most night clubs in the 1980's. I know...I was in my early 20's to my early 30's then...and a lot of their songs were extremely popular! "Photograph" ..... "Pour Some Sugar on Me" were both huge hits back then, as were a lot of their other songs!
If y'all are looking for other '80's music...try ASIA...."Only Time Will Tell" ...."Heat of the Moment"...."The Smile has Left Your Eyes, Parts 1 & 2" .... "Extraordinary Life" ( I highly recommend this song...it's very uplifting! ) ... "Face on the Bridge".
Then their is Europe, " Final Countdown "
The Scorpions...they had so many hits it was ridiculous!
Def Leppard's music producer should be in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. It's the greatest job of transforming a band of all time. But Leppard is full of talent....that Dude just shaped and molded that sound and captured "Lightning in a Bottle". That's what that album should have been called.
Yeah, Rick Allen actually lost him left arm twice. After the car accident, his left arm was retrieved. Doctors put it back on but the arm was rejected. They had to remove it due to a risk of death from extreme infection.
she has such an amazing perspective . never saw the connection sonically to AIC but i get it. i'm addicted to you guys. i grew up with this stuff and its like listening to it for the first time with new friends.
This is my fav. Def Leopard song. Photograph is probably second. Seems like an eternity ago popping a cassette in the car stereo back in High School and jamming out to these kinds of songs. Like a whole other lifetime. Just nuts.
To answer your question though... this would be playing in the gym... when you go on a run with your "walk-man" and whenever driving around in a car. Of course you could really jam out at home by jumping around and signing to it as well. We didn't have the internet back then or cell phones.
