It looks like you didn't even notice that Rick Allen the drummer has only one arm. He's one of the best drummers that persevered under extreme situations.
I’ve seen Def Leppard many times in concert, Rick Allen with 2 arms, and 1 arm and there is absolutely no difference in his drumming, he is so awesome!
I had opportunity to talk to Joe Elliott once before a concert they were doing. Told him that drummer is the best one out there because of the sheer determination he had to overcome losing his arm & it's HUGE that he had such supportive band members & friends in Def Leppard. They'll always be my favorite group.
Rick lost his arm in a car accident. The band all stood by him and gave Rick the time he needed to recover and learn a new way to play the drums again. I have more respect for this band then any other.
You have to respect any band that sticks with their drummer when he loses his arm in a horrible accident but says he can learn to play with his feet! Inspirational!!
As a black girl born in 72, Def Leppard was my band. Still love em. From the UK, they sealed by admiration when drummer Allen lost his arm in an accident. They took a break, made him a special drum kit and hit the tours.
Not all good rock songs are purely sexual. Smoke On the Water, Free Bird, Money, Helter Skelter,, Behind Blue Eyes, and Pinball Wizard are examples of superb rock songs that don’t need any sexual reference to be amazing.
They were just breaking through when the drummer had a road accident he lost his arm they waited until he was able with adapted drum set up to play again never thought of replacing him. Fabulous group.
True friends, who stuck with their bandmate. And they only became MORE popular after Rick bounced back, w/his custom set and learning to play with his new foot pedals. They were such a great live show!
@gaetagirl I was around they had broken into the charts and were establishing themselves when the accident happened would be a longer account always had a very loyal fan base. Love them.
You guys didn't notice their drummer only has 1 arm! He was their original drummer, then he had a bad accident and lost his arm, and the band kept him as their drummer! I love it.
I pointed this out to my older son, a musician. He has respect for the arts as his little brother does, as well. We're (Christopher and I) are still in the SF Bay Area . My older son, Daniel, moved to Nashville. Both Daniel and Christopher are so talented , misu
Honestly, that's what I was waiting for...them to freak out when they see WHY he's got electronic drums!! LOVE Def Leppard...have seen them in concert several times! One of the rare bands who actually sound great live!!!
The drummer from Def Leppard's only got one arm The drummer from Def Leppard's only got one arm The drummer from Def Leppard's only got one arm The drummer from Def Leppard's only got one arm The drummer from Def Leppard's only got one arm The drummer from Def Leppard's only got one arm The drummer from Def Leppard's only got one arm The drummer from Def Leppard's only got one arm
Saw them in concert in 1988. I did not know the drummer had lost his arm or the story behind it. About halfway through the concert, I noticed it and freaked out. The concert became twice as good as it was after discovering that he was rocking the house with one arm. These guys are tight. They waited for him to learn the drum kit and did not abandon him because of the accident. That's a good team and good friends.
@@kimberlycampbell8355 all you have to do is use Google and see that everything you wrote is completely wrong. It's amazing how many people speak with such conviction about things they know nothing about, and on a comment having nothing to do with your reply!
@@CaseyQ LMAO If anyone tells me to use google, I will not trust them! Secondly, I watched their documentary and they were talking about! Thirdly, when I made this comment it was to another commenter, but it was put in the wrong category! So, please don't tell me that I don't know what I'm talking about!
Y’all have no idea how crazy it is to me to see you react to these 80’s/90’s rock songs. I was a black, female preteen/teennager when these came out. Some of my favorite bands were GnR, Skid Row, Bon Jovi, Journey etc. I was considered weird back then. I went right from that to grunge like Nirvana and 4 Non Blondes who came out when I was 15.
Ok you got my attention with this one. Great 80s band. First the song flat out is about an amorous event. They are not singing about baking a cake. I’m being appropriate in that statement. This band is amazing for many reasons. First the drum set is special because the drummer lost his arm in a violent car wreck where the seatbelt severed his arm. Rick Allen had a second pedal added to the drum kit and relearned to play with one arm. Next … 3 guitarists. Lead, bass and rhythm guitars give a harder sound to the band. Lead guitarist Steve Clark was a classically trained musician who is credited with a lot of their songwriting. Unfortunately he was also a raging alcoholic. Although the band tried repeatedly to get him clean, Steve died of alcohol poisoning in 1991 at the age of 31. RIP Steve. This band has been through a lot but still can rock with the best. Another thing that made them popular is that they ALL can sing. A lot of 80s bands had a lead singer but the other members don’t sing. As you can see from the live concert audience, these boys attracted lots of women to the front rows but also were credible to the guys in the audience for the talent and hard rock sound. Very successful. Their concerts were legendary. They still tour today. Hope you do more older groups. They really had some great music.
@@misslaura4394 I’m very old. LOL. I love music from 60s, 70s, 80s and some 90s. I grew up in a family that loved music. Always music in my house. Keeps me feeling young and happy to see young people discover my favorites. ❤️❤️❤️
I got to see them last summer. It was my 40th Def Leppard live show. ❤ One of my favorite shows was on Joe's 40th birthday. I had knee surgery the day before and my friend thought I wouldn't go. I told her I'd have crutches and Vicodin. And off we went! Joe actually ran out into the audience that time.
The lyrics to that one part are "You got the peaches, I got the cream, sweet to taste, saccharine..." Rascal Flats does sing "Life is a Highway", but they are singing a cover. It was originally sung by Tom Cochrane....the only version you should listen to! :) Tom Cochrane was in the band Red Rider, who sang another great song " Lunatic Fringe", on the soundtrack of the movie Vision Quest. A song you should listen to and a movie you should watch!
Love Red Rider awesome band then Tom became successful as a solo artist. Lunatic Fringe damn haven't thought about that song for over... never mind, lol. Been reliving my teen years with Aldo Nova songs like Fantasy, Monkey On Your Back, and Medicine Man, cheers.
Rick Allen is called the thunder God by many drummers. He drums with one arm. They were inducted into the Rock and roll Hall of Fame in 2019, and they still rock now.
Rick Allen, the drummer, lost his arm when he was 21. He'd been with the band since he was 15. At the height of their success, they waited until he healed and re-taught himself how to play. He has a special kit, in which his left pedal could emulate what his left arm could do. He still suffers PTSD from the accident to this day and sees drumming and painting as therapeutic healing for him.
I was born in '91 and I grew up with all 80's rock and metal because of my mother. You name it, she played it. It's in my blood to love 80's rock. I am SO pleased you guys are hearing rock music and being open to other genres, I'm so happy.
Def Leppard is such an amazing and iconic band. They are my favorite band. I just saw them a couple of months ago at The Stadium Tour and they still kick ass after 40+ years. Ive seen them 28 times and Ive never been disappointed. R.I.P Steve Clark.
When they were just starting out, they opened for the stones. After hearing them, Jagger said the stones should be opening for them. I was 65 yesterday, I remember hearing about the car accident like it was also yesterday.
I was 14 when this came out. I’m an ASL interpreter and got to interpret this song on stage once. You guys are amazing. Not that you asked, but this 50 something woman in Maine admires what you do.
This song came out when I was in highschool. I just saw them with Motley. I didnt hear you all mention their drummer only having one arm. I remember when he was hurt, prople were expecting them to find another drummer, they waited for him to learn to play one armed. Theres a lot to respect there. Anyway, you all are adorable. I enjoy your reactions. Your reactions to Heart cracked me up.
Def Leppard is great live. You guys should check out Let It Go, High ‘N’ Dry (Saturday Night), Bringing On The Heartbreak, Switch 625, Rock! Rock! (Till You Drop), Photograph, Stagefright, Too Late For Love, Foolin’, Rock Of Ages, Billy’s Got A Gun, Women, Rocket, Animal, Loves Bites, Armageddon It, Gods Of War, Don’t Shoot Shotgun, Run Riot, Hysteria, Excitable, Love & Affection, Let’s Get Rocked, Heaven Is, Make Love Like A Man, Have You Ever Needed Someone So Bad, Two Steps Behind, Action, When Love & Hate Collide, their cover of Rock On, & Man Enough
So hello. I am watching your videos lately. My oldest son wrestles in college, and is a senior. So watching you all's reaction to music I grew up with, and witnessing similar reaction...just...I can't thank you enough for connecting in a genuine way. It reminds me how we connect with past present and future generations. Just THANK you and keep doing what your doing!! And God bless you all, and have fun in school!
The drummer is using that “electronic drum” set because he lost an arm in a car crash. The band waited a year for him to master using that type of drums before continuing touring or recording music because he was their drummer and their friend and they wanted him to remain their drummer ❤
The line you missed the guitarist sing was "You've got the peaches, I've got the cream". These guys have always been the most loyal people to the members of the band there has ever been in Rock music. When the drummer lost his arm in a car accident ( he was only 16 or 17 at the time. ) the rest of the band put their careers on hold until he could learn to play with one arm. Later when one of them was suffering from drug issues they took a break so he could get treatment and later when another of the group was diagnosed with cancer they took time off for him to get treatment hoping he could recover and rejoin them, but sadly he passed and they sought out a new member which they found and they are still producing albums today.
I appreciate how these young guys find the cool in old songs. A really great song transcends time and era. A really great song is always great. Thanks for giving props to good music of all genres, from all eras.
Now imagine you're 8 years old, back in the late 80s, and you have a sleepover with your friends in the living room. We were throwing pillows everywhere, headbanging and screaming this very song as it blasted on the radio, while jumping all over the couches. That's a fun time. 😁
I bought this vinyl when I was a teen, my mom heard the lyrics and came running into my room and threw it in to the trash. Talking about “where did you get that disgusting music?!” Little did moms know that all she did is make me want it more 😂
I am an old guy, grew up listening to R&B. When MTv started the first group of that kind of music i hear was Def Leppard and have loved them since. I have seen them in concert several times.
My favorite song of all time! These guys had a ton of hits, mostly in the 80s. Photograph, Animal and Love Bites are some of their other big ones, but this is their signature song. Keep up the great work guys!
@@alyssamoore14 Yess they were n that's really who i really wanted to see..my cuzzin n I went. I'm in mid 60s n that was the only chance I would ever have to see Def Leppard 🤘🎸🎤 n i feel like they're carried the whole Tour 🤘💯💯
I have mad respect for this band. When the drummer lost his arm they waited on him to adapt to a special drum set. They could have replaced him but they didn't. So BIG props to the members of this band!!
One of my favorite bands when I was in High School in the 80s. What they've been through as a band would've caused other bands to break up from the trauma. Their current guitarist was diagnosed with cancer & survived. They are a band with a thick skin.
Haha..living on a prayer..not prairie..I freaking love you young men.. so charismatic,inteiigence and open minds crate great interaction with each othr..my son is 39 now but stll used to sing 'poor some sugar on an egg'( he was about 7) lol.. in the car when we blasted this.. 😄🤘
The drummer lost his arm in a car accident, the band gave him time to heal and to learn how to play the drums again and then they made this song, this was the first song he did with one arm and became one of the biggest hits of all time and now 37 years later it has still been one of the most played songs of all time. def leppard are also from sheffield in the uk, my home city and they have there own star outside the town hall
My favorite!! Took my 16 year old son to their concert in Atlanta in the 80's. FANTASTIC!! We ROCKED!!! I'm 71 and still blast this song when I hear it. Lol
This ole gal saw them in concert. Man I could make a list to so many your watching. I always call it my driving jam. Watch the Scorpions they are from Germany originally. Great rock!
Still one of the most amazing drummers in the world Allen you have so much respect from all of us . This track is still one of my faves I’m 31 now and still blast this as loud as I can.
As a senior White woman I thoroughly enjoy watching these young men watching and appreciating these “white” bands. As we all know, these bands, many of them, have been inspired by Black Performers…Chuck Berry…Muddy Waters.. Hendrix…Fat Domino… it all comes full circle.. the appreciation of what every genre has to contribute. To me, MUSIC is the great equalizer. I wish we could all just get along. Music can save us. 🙏♥
Saw these guys 5 times in concert, in 3 different states... IMO, second only to Boston for Best debut album..... EVERYONE was cranking it up and ROCKING to this Masterpiece Album!!!! The good old days........😊
Great reaction, guys! Y'all will probably like "Poison" by Alice Cooper if you haven't seen it yet. Btw, Rascal Flatts covered "Life is a Highway". It was originally done by Tom Cochrane... if you didn't know that already. Love you guys!

So I wasn’t the only blk girl everyone looked at crazy 😜 growing up listening to metal.
Def Leppard is my favorite band, saw them 2 times in concert. So awesome 😎
Because my blk parents wasn’t let me go to no heavy metal concerts lol 😂

I bought this vinyl when I was a teen, my mom heard the lyrics and came running into my room and threw it in to the trash. Talking about “where did you get that disgusting music?!”
Little did moms know that all she did is make me want it more 😂
I got that reaction from my mom with "Darling Nicki" by Prince! I bought it about 5 time's before she gave up lol!
My mom did the same thing to me with the Rolling Stones album with Let's Spend the Night Together!!
I am an old guy, grew up listening to R&B. When MTv started the first group of that kind of music i hear was Def Leppard and have loved them since. I have seen them in concert several times.
My favorite song of all time! These guys had a ton of hits, mostly in the 80s. Photograph, Animal and Love Bites are some of their other big ones, but this is their signature song. Keep up the great work guys!
This was my 1st concert in 1988! I got to hear Pour Some Sugar on Me LIVE!!! 🎵🎵🤩
I have seen them in concert 5 times and they keep getting better. This tour I was in 3rd row. Get a chance go see them live.

Saw Def Leppard in August.. during they're Stadium Tour 🤘🎸🎤 they rocked it n carried the show 🎉 🤘
I saw them in San Antonio! They were my favorite performers that whole show!
@@alyssamoore14 Yess they were n that's really who i really wanted to see..my cuzzin n I went. I'm in mid 60s n that was the only chance I would ever have to see Def Leppard 🤘🎸🎤 n i feel like they're carried the whole Tour 🤘💯💯
Same !! They were unbelievable .. SAt Thru MC 😳 Brett had good energy .. but DL.. amazing
Very cool that they kept the drummer even though he lost an arm in an accident. 😀 And he plays fantastically. Greetings from Norway
It’s cool when someone watches them and does not realize the drummer only has one arm. Bravo
I'm amazed @ 7:01 not one of those five guys realized that Rick only has one arm. Wow! Rick is a Beast!!
I have mad respect for this band. When the drummer lost his arm they waited on him to adapt to a special drum set. They could have replaced him but they didn't. So BIG props to the members of this band!!
The 70s and 80s were the decades that I grew up, and I'm so happy I did! The music was (and still is) AMAZING!!!
And they STILL put on a great show!
I have seen them in concert three times in my life and every time was great! They are amazing to experience live.
One of my favorite bands when I was in High School in the 80s. What they've been through as a band would've caused other bands to break up from the trauma. Their current guitarist was diagnosed with cancer & survived. They are a band with a thick skin.
I listened to this cassette tape my senior year in high school so much I had to buy it again and again Good 80s music
Haha..living on a prayer..not prairie..I freaking love you young men.. so charismatic,inteiigence and open minds crate great interaction with each othr..my son is 39 now but stll used to sing 'poor some sugar on an egg'( he was about 7) lol.. in the car when we blasted this.. 😄🤘
Fantastic band! Saw them a couple years ago and they still got it!!
Another banger is Still Of The Night-Whitesnake..Y`all will definitely enjoy the video! Keep On Rockin'
YES!!!! And Here I Go Again, or Slow and Easy or Slide It In!
BEST SONG EVERRRRRR
Yes!!! Whitesnake "STILL OF THE NIGHT" (original video) straight up banger!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Still of the Night is my favorite Whitesnake song
The drummer lost his arm in a car accident, the band gave him time to heal and to learn how to play the drums again and then they made this song, this was the first song he did with one arm and became one of the biggest hits of all time and now 37 years later it has still been one of the most played songs of all time. def leppard are also from sheffield in the uk, my home city and they have there own star outside the town hall
I seen them live over 30 years ago and the drummer was playing then with 1 arm that was pretty cool and still playing till today
*ROCK NEEDS TO COME BACK.* PEOPLE DON'T KNOW WHAT THEY'RE MISSING!!
Check out PLUSH! They are a newer all female band with 70s 80s and 90s influences mixed with some modern rock
@@stevevacek5155 Thanks!
I’m so lucky to have grown up in the 70’s and 80’s and saw all these guys in concert. It was magical.
Fellas Def Leppard have lots of music that U guys have to react. There a British Band that ran thru the 1980's. Check out there stuff.
My favorite!! Took my 16 year old son to their concert in Atlanta in the 80's. FANTASTIC!! We ROCKED!!! I'm 71 and still blast this song when I hear it. Lol
“Life is a highway” was originally sang by Tom Cochrane in 1991 off his “Mad Mad world” album
This ole gal saw them in concert. Man I could make a list to so many your watching. I always call it my driving jam. Watch the Scorpions they are from Germany originally. Great rock!
Love this song growing up see how they played instruments no computer tune playing the instrument real vocal talent no auto tune real music boys
Still one of the most amazing drummers in the world Allen you have so much respect from all of us . This track is still one of my faves I’m 31 now and still blast this as loud as I can.
I seen them on this tour...a band called Tesla opened up for them, another great band yall should check out too.
I dug watching yall's reactions to the music I jammed to in high school!! Y'all are awesome!!!
Best drummer ever 🔥
This was the stuff I grew up with. So glad to see younger people enjoying it!
As a senior White woman I thoroughly enjoy watching these young men watching and appreciating these “white” bands. As we all know, these bands, many of them, have been inspired by Black Performers…Chuck Berry…Muddy Waters.. Hendrix…Fat Domino… it all comes full circle.. the appreciation of what every genre has to contribute. To me, MUSIC is the great equalizer. I wish we could all just get along. Music can save us. 🙏♥
Not if you keep talking about black and white.
good to see you young guys appreciating and loving music of my own youth all those years ago
The drummer lost his arm in a car accident. He taught himself how to play the drums not only with just one arm but using both of his feet.
Saw these guys 5 times in concert, in 3 different states... IMO, second only to Boston for Best debut album..... EVERYONE was cranking it up and ROCKING to this Masterpiece Album!!!! The good old days........😊
Great reaction, guys! Y'all will probably like "Poison" by Alice Cooper if you haven't seen it yet.
Btw, Rascal Flatts covered "Life is a Highway". It was originally done by Tom Cochrane... if you didn't know that already. Love you guys!
I’m so stunned that no one has noticed the drummer with one arm playing without skipping a beat!
Can't believe none of you saw that the drummer has only one arm!!! Crazy! What a talent.
That was one hell of a concert Tesla opened. At micknickles , Arena Denver, co
His arm was amputated after a car accident. Who knew he'd play drums again with only 1arm. Absolutely amazing
one of the best groups ever!! Drummer is a bad ass with one arm
Im still waiting for yall to watch motley crue "wildside"
exactly
Love to see kids your age scoping out different years of music. This was one of my favorites in high school! Now I’m feeling old! 😣
You guys are confusing Queen's "We Will Rock You" with "Pour Some Sugar On Me"! Both bangers but very different. Great choice for a reaction! ☮ ❤ 🎶
Ahhh the era of arena rock and hair bands....great times!
They do NOT have a bad song ❤❤❤
