What some people might not know is that it wasn't just his left arm. He almost lost his other arm as well, he was severely injured. This would have knocked out a lot of people, but Rick left the hospital in a matter of weeks not months as expected. He is a shining example of sheer will, determination and spirit. This band is also the hallmark of what it should be like, standing together..always, not splitting at the first sign of trouble. Bands of today, should take note. Not only a great band, but an amazing group of men (shame on those who disliked this)!!
Rick had a rubber footpad so that he could push himself up. His brother brought him a stereo so that he could listen to music while he was in the hospital. Rick found himself keeping the beat and using his left foot when he should use his left hand. He had a stupid idea, and all so thankful for that “stupid” idea.
This video is on the Mirrorball cd The DVD is the only thing lve been able to watch because l don't have a CD player and Joe if you don't stop talking about this poor guy hes going to wind up getting electrocuted because you guys are performing with electricity and he has an electric drum kit right? well a river of his own tears and electricity dont mix l dont know l try to use your music to cheer me up because last night I had another hospital trip because my chest which is where my ulcer was but last night l called 911 myself because nobody would listen to me They were doing the same thing they did 2 months ago waiting for something to happen When I called them one of them started acting like the staff members here he was giving me a hard time about the situation like he didn't believe me either l went to the hospital and had another test done and this one showed the opposite of the one I had done before the first time they said that it was in my chest and it was a nonbleeding ulcer well last night t had a different procedure done and it showed that the ulcer was a bleeding ulcer in my stomach. I don't know who to believe because these tests tell me different things l wish there was a way you guys could come back to Florida in Lake CITY and somehow have a show just in this group home for me really because the others don't understand they are all mentally disabled
The way the crowd just screamed and when Rick started to tear up it's just so powerful and Rick deserves to feel that appreciated every single day for how hard he worked to come back and play with the people he loves, and play for the fans he loves! Long live Leppard!
Totally agree, that on show is genuine love and appreciation for Rick from something like 20-30 thousand adoring fans, like Joe said, his hairs were up at that appreciation, it’s very difficult not to feel the same way
I was there in 86 and remember it like it was yesterday, it was pissing down and they came on and Joey said" Ladies and Gentlemen, Rick Allen" , he got over 10 minutes ovation....TOP MAN
doesnt matter what anybody thinks of DL music or Rick Allen drumming abilities ...the man fought for what he loved the most & actually did it ...Rock ON Rick...thats inspiration...
Regardless of your opinions on Rock or music in general, this is an inspiring story and the Invincible Rick Allen will have a place in history as someone who overcame a "disability" and rocked way harder than most eight-armed men probably could.
beautifully said! I cry often when I see them play. I was into country hard core & Def Leppard changed that. All of them are unreal to stick by & wait for their brother to make the most amazing comebacks ever!
That is one of the most triumphant, and moving band member intros I have ever seen. As a guy with a slight disability myself, I have always had nothing but admiration for this guy. He recovered from a terrible accident that would have signaled the end of any other musician's career. Fair dues to you Rick. You are a shining example of sheer determination. Rock on!
Every time I see this and the total love and support that crowd gives him, I feel the emotions and my eyes almost leaking just watching it. You can see Rick is so grateful and humbled by that love washing over him. This video gets me every time, it's truly amazing.
I've been drumming for most of my life. For those of you that don't play drums, you have no idea what it would be like to relearn your instrument. I'm glad that the technology was available for him to figure out how to not let losing an arm get take him out of music. He didn't pity himself very long before he set about figuring a way around an obstacle. He can still play & still does a great job. I'd love to think I would have had that kind of tenacity.

What a beautiful moment . The way Joe put it out there was perfect , especially when he had Rick stand up the second time . The emotional release of Rick is painted all over him . Right on to him , and anyone who triumphs over tragedy . Long live DL!!!
Hello Thanks for liking my pictures just want to say thank you that's why i am texting you now and the support you showed on me, kindly text me privately account. Officialrickallen@gmail.com
Ya just want to give the man a hug for being such a trooper. One of my favorite groups, not just because of their talent, but because of the way they stuck together, not letting go. That's a TIGHT crew.
I was there that day and it was quite possibly the most emotional moment I've ever been part of. 80,000 people chanting Rick's name whilst he appeared on the big screens. Magic.
Just watched their rockumentary, and it's amazing how close these guys really are, to have let Rick recover from his horrific accident and pick up where they left off. Awesome guys, and tremendous musicians. Steve, R.I.P.
He's amazing... And an incredible band. I grew up hearing these guys and a few other 70s and 80s bands bc of my dad... And bc of his love of this kind of rock, I grew to have a love of it too. They don't make bands like this these days.
Rick is such an inspiration and this is such a very touching band member intro. I love how the crowd cheers and it's just so incredible to see him play.
WOW!!I just came across this...yes I got teary eyes too!! His phenomenal comeback is the true human spirit to fight for your dreams..and most importantly your LIFE...I still remember going to the concert for the Hysteria tour and was amazed to watch him play once again with his new (at the time) modified drum set...I may not know him personally...but from the interview clips...it took that horrific accident for him to realize life is too short...never take anything for granted...I praise Def Leppard for being there for him....and waiting for him to be ready to rock on again with them...when the time was right and HE was ready....both mentally and physically...WE LOVE YOU RICK ALLEN!!! WE LOVE YOU DEF LEPPARD!!!! 🥰🥰❤❤
Rick is not a drummer only. He's an inspiration for who wants to be happy doing what we love to do. He never gave up and now everybody celebrate a tribute to the person, the fight, courage and the best drummer we ever heard before. Rick touches hearts and souls with every sound. Nobody with two arms can make us feel like he does just with one. RICK YOU ARE THE BEST EVER!!!!

1:49 - that point gave me such a lump in my throat. Ricks my inspiration for me now as im a drummer and have suffered a terrible accident which resulted in loss of a finger. Nothing like Rick's injury but its been a blow that im having to re-learn. If Rick can do I've got no excuse.
Ok I just saw Def Leppard last night at Bridgestone Arena in Nashville...best night of my life!!! And anyone who tries to take away from the inspiring and amazing Rick Allen is a MORAN!!! Loved the entire show and his drum solo. BTW I do not play drums so...

❤️🎶💋..I’m so glad that Joe stood up and gave this speech for Rick..Rick fought so hard to come back after his wreck and he made it..it was a miracle and I for one am so glad he found the strength to do it..I feel with his youth and all the wildness of r& r could of took him down the wrong path but with the accident it gave him a new outlook on life and his passion for playing the drums..his passion for the music and his brotherhood with the guys gave him the strength work harder to become one of the best drummers esp a one arm drummer..he is so special and turned his life around and has helped others with their disabilities to believe and not give up..he is a very special man..

I have nothing but admiration for Rick. Amazing man. However I was bitterly disappointed by Joe Elliot when they played Brisbane Entertainment Centre for the Hysteria Tour when he told us that we were pathetic because we couldn't make as much noise as Sydney and that they would not come back again.... and they didn't! He was Booed by his Fans, The same Fans as myself that cued and stood in line for their Midnight Album release of Hysteria and paid good money to see them in concert. I will NEVER forget........ Def Leppard died that night......
Very Well Done. What an Inspiration He Is ...And such an inspirational cut from the concert. I'm glad I had the chance to come across it. God Bless You Rick " Thundergod " Allen ...from a one" Navajosungod " ...who's name is also, Rick S. ;-) , from the Southwest.

Rick, un gran ejemplo no solo para los que tocamos y amamos la batería, es un ejemplo como muchos otros de superación, esfuerzo, de no darse por vencido jamás. Grande Rick!!!!
Bonus section of VH1 Classic Albums: Hysteria, when they were doing a couple of Live Rehearsal shows in Ireland with the drummer from Status Quo. For one show, his flight was delayed so he didn't make the show until halfway in; According to Joe, he never realized that the guy wasn't there until he quietly sat down behind the drum set.
the best example of whats the difference in such injuries like rick allens. If you get injured like this, but you see that your friends stay right behind you and don't just leave you allone... you had to fuckin fight for what you wanna be...and thats exactly what friendship means... stay together, bck to back and give em hell... no one gets left alone! My biggest respect for the Band... and especially for rick allen. you deserve your title dude... because you ARE the god of thunder! And I am fuckin sure if you had to die one day, hopefully a day far far faaar in the future, they will find a unionjack on your heart!
People who make Lars drumming jokes believe the earth is flat and likely have small dicks. The guy has been part of the main driving force of a band that changed the face of music and sold nearly 120million albums. The fact you make these jokes does zero to change that and if you think the man himself cares, then you’re probably part of the incel movement.
What some people might not know is that it wasn't just his left arm. He almost lost his other arm as well, he was severely injured. This would have knocked out a lot of people, but Rick left the hospital in a matter of weeks not months as expected. He is a shining example of sheer will, determination and spirit. This band is also the hallmark of what it should be like, standing together..always, not splitting at the first sign of trouble. Bands of today, should take note. Not only a great band, but an amazing group of men (shame on those who disliked this)!!
Rick had a rubber footpad so that he could push himself up. His brother brought him a stereo so that he could listen to music while he was in the hospital. Rick found himself keeping the beat and using his left foot when he should use his left hand. He had a stupid idea, and all so thankful for that “stupid” idea.
💜
Why do people not like this? The man is an inspiration
Cause there are douchebags that still live among us.
people don't like anything happy these days...they want bad news, tragedy, horror. sad.... Its cancer to take all that negativity in!
todays edm and lip syncs generation never understand

Teresa Bosworth this is the most amazing thing I’ve ever read in a comments section.
The way the crowd just screamed and when Rick started to tear up it's just so powerful and Rick deserves to feel that appreciated every single day for how hard he worked to come back and play with the people he loves, and play for the fans he loves! Long live Leppard!
Totally agree, that on show is genuine love and appreciation for Rick from something like 20-30 thousand adoring fans, like Joe said, his hairs were up at that appreciation, it’s very difficult not to feel the same way

I know just love this
I was there in 86 and remember it like it was yesterday, it was pissing down and they came on and Joey said" Ladies and Gentlemen, Rick Allen" , he got over 10 minutes ovation....TOP MAN
I have said it before and I will say it again. I have always had a lot of respect for the group for not bailing on Rick when he lost his arm.
doesnt matter what anybody thinks of DL music or Rick Allen drumming abilities ...the man fought for what he loved the most & actually did it ...Rock ON Rick...thats inspiration...

I agree, he only has one arm, plays he's has 8 arms and legs lol
Orange Harrison well said.
beautifully said! I cry often when I see them play. I was into country hard core & Def Leppard changed that. All of them are unreal to stick by & wait for their brother to make the most amazing comebacks ever!
eight??
Mario Ortega Eight.
Rick inspired me so much. I wrote my research paper over him and my teacher loved it.
That's awesome!!
I did a paper on him as well in 9th grade English class. Topic was people you consider heroes or look up to in some way.
That is one of the most triumphant, and moving band member intros I have ever seen. As a guy with a slight disability myself, I have always had nothing but admiration for this guy. He recovered from a terrible accident that would have signaled the end of any other musician's career. Fair dues to you Rick. You are a shining example of sheer determination. Rock on!

Ya just want to give the man a hug for being such a trooper.

Wow Thats wild. Gives me goosebumps to see this
There's not a single time that I did watch the video and not shade a tear along with Rick. Legend !
I gotta quit cutting up these damn onions when I watch YT.

With one Arm a better Drummer as Lars with two.
or 14..
Couldn't agree more my man
Better than any drummer. DL best band to walk God's green earth. True story
