I completely agree on that choice. Hysteria does it for me, love that 80’s soft rock melody, and it just makes me feel awesome and unstoppable as any great rock song should. Underrated classic of theirs if you ask me.
What an AWESOME bunch of Guys - I had the opportunity to Meet Rick, SAV and Phil and they were so gracious. Took the time to talk to you. You can tell that their fans are special to them. Not the typical arrogant Rock Star. Def Leppard will always be my favorite..

PK nice experience!! i have a nice story. i live in the adirondacks in upstate ny . my friend john worked at a wood stove company.. a couple walked in with their child.. my friend noticed right away that it was rick allen.. so he decides to go up to the woman and he asks her to make sure is that rick allen? she says yes it is would you like to meet him? he said sure! so ricks wife calls rick over and introduces john to rick. johns telling him what a big fan he is of deff leppard.. so rick aks him, do you have any cds in your car? my friend john says yes i do ! so rick tells him to get them.. rick ended up autographing 4 cds, different albums, and draws a cartoon figure on each one. i didnt know untill this video rick was an artist.. my friend still has the cds along with a nice memory..
My favorite band. When you hear of lead singers getting full of themselves and go out on their own, it's cool to hear of a band that sticks together even with a one armed drummer. You've got to love that.
This guy is an inspiration to the world. Loses an arm, comes back an even better drummer and can paint!! He definitely represents what is possible if you don't give up- and what can happen when you have a huge support base.
incredible drummer before and incredible drummer after,the world loves it own,RICK ALLEN,i wept with you when it happened,all of those thousands of hours of practicing,god bless,you still got it,rock never forgets
Rick Allen is truly an inspiration for anyone who has ever had a setback in life. He could have just hung it up. Instead he rose above his circumstances and has had a phenomenal career.
I'm so proud and happy for Rick Allen to still be drumming for them, and drumming to this day, even though he lost an arm, you can still play drums no matter what you don't have, thanks for inspiring loads of drummers and artists, Rick, it means a lot to us.
@@edgarmontes5675 On Through the Night & High N' Dry were metal. Pyromania was hard rock, after that, it was glam rock and I didn't care for that stuff. I couldn't get into anything after Pyromania.
This band has been a big part of the soundtrack of my life, will always love their music! Very happy you guys stuck together through good and bad. Keep on rockin Def Leppard

Ya know Rick is not only a beast on drums, he's also a great human being with a big heart. i have often seen him well up with emotion in his eyes as words are spoken about their success, their challenges, and overcoming his injuries and being blessed with being able to fulfill his destiny despite such a horrific career ending accident. what a great and gracious guy. i saw them in the round up very close in 1991, will never forget that show.
He's a very talented person a pure inspiration without him I never would've played drums. My dad introduced me to def leppard back in December 2019. I remember it as clear as day. We were sitting in a carpark near Bunnings Warehouse which is our local hardware store and dad said to me "Ryan there's this band I think you'll really like it's called def leppard ill put it on for you have a listen". I said wow that name sounds cool. So he put it on and he played the whole hysteria album on cd. First time I heard it I wasn't a fan but the second time is when I started to realise how cool this album was. Tbh I wish I could go back to that day and re experience that. It was powerful! Rocket has always been my favourite song from that album. I even grew my hair out like Rick! It was an experience I will never forget. From that moment onwards I became a huge def leppard fan! And Rick is the reason why.
“Phil was over at our rehearsal studios a few months back, and Neil Peart was in the studio next door, and he was getting prepped for the Rush tour. And Neil said to Phil: ‘If it wasn’t for your drummer Rick, electronic drums would not be where they are today.’ I thought that was a massive compliment, especially coming from somebody like him.” Rick Allen
That is awesome. Neil is not “The Professor” for no reason. R.I.P. To A Private, but Nice Humble Man and of course his Drumming needs no comment. Loved Def Leppard when I first heard Pyromania. I was blown away. I love many Genres like Blues, Blues Rock, Jazz, Jazz Rock. Prog( mostly British early 70’s w/ Genesis(Gabriel Era my Favorite), Hard Rock, Arena Rock, Some Metal, Soul, Older R&B, British Invasion( Beatles, up to Revolver my Favorite ), Some Country Rock w/ some Blues( Allman Brothers Band, ZZ Top, Some Skynard), Early Folk, some Alternative, Avant Garde, Some Glam Rick, etc...... Love Rick Allen’s Humility and Humbleness. His Artistic Talent is off the charts as Well. Great Talented Guy and Beloved Drummer of Def Leppard. Can totally see why he was irreplaceable despite his horrific injury. Such a Positive Guy in this Tough Crazy World of Pandemics and Injustice leading to Riots and Looting. Wish all would come together, my self included and unite in the Love of Humanity, instead of such divisiveness amongst many people. Easier said then done I guess. Anyway, Rick Allen Rocks totally.
@@philseida5238 not gonna happen, until everyone wakes up to what's "really" going on out there! Most of the rioters are paid, brutality videos are staged, and the "plandemic" is a planned scam to help change laws and bring in NWO!
@ vinyl city 2 .....I’m aware of all you said......I’ve seen Wellaware 1, Russian Vids, Mike Williams Sage of Quay, Silent Revolution, Mr.Sandpit, etc and some, of not all, discuss much of what you stated, especially Ed at Wellaware 1. Yes. Occupy Wall Street, Dallas Gun Rally, 9-11= Actors+ Narrative +Script. In the Dallas one, they have Katie Holmes in disguise as a Guy and Jamie Kennedy in disguise as well. Whether it’s Real, Fake or exaggerated has no effect on the damage to the Economy( Purposely done most likely to usher in a Digital Currency as well as implement The Potent and Deadly 5g as well as The Danger of the soon “required unfortunately” Covid 19( Elitest and Occult in origin ) Vaccine. The So Called “Enlightened ones”are having quite the laugh 🤭 at “The Unaware Sheeple”. If The Police killing is 100% staged as you said, Then the protesters close in proximity with one another gathering and marches should lead to another 2nd Pandemic of this Corona Virus=666 in Gematria Numerlogy; Occult prints of course. Even if the 2nd wave is exaggerated in contraction or fatalities, The same Stay at home, businesses and School closings, Curfews and dare I say “ possibly Martial Law as well”. Thank You for the post. You’re probably surprised I’m not one of the “Sheeple”. Hopefully it was a pleasant surprise and Lord Help Humanity in these “Crucial” times we face in the Present Day”. Indeed, “ The World is a Stage with Actors and Portrayers”....... From Shakespearean times as well as reiterated by The Incredible Musicianship of The Canadian Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Inducted now Rush( Sung by Geddy Lee, Lyrics by Neil Peart ).
Rick Allen is such a great guy, and so appreciative of his fans. He keeps amazing me too. First being able to play drums with one arm, and now being and amazing painter. He’s really good!
I'm pretty sure that one of the co-founders was sacked early on. Probably due to alcohol and turning up late, Joe Elliot was not impressed. Jo Elliot only joined, due to missing a bus.
Just 2 years only to get back on stage after a car accident rips off the drummers arm... Self taught and self discipline and time... Heals all things.. Thank you Rick.. your an inspiration to all musicians and to all who don't play or not in the music biz.. thank you thank you thank you... Love it !!!
Very nice and good painting. Just As good as his come back after his accident! He's one lucky talented cool, intelligent guy. Rock On.@steverobertson1729

It's just a miracle that he survived his accident in 1984 and the reason he spoke up about what happened to him and he has only one arm and still plays the drums with his one good arm and feet too and he is very lucky enough to be alive and well and I'm happy he's still around and I grew up listening to Def Leppard in the 1980's when I was little and I never forgotten how talented they were and I never forgotten how he inspire us fans to do anything things in life

There is so much to say about this guy and all of it is great. Overcame impossible odds, a fantastic musician, a fantastic artist, and he actually has a favorite song from his own band. Musicians almost never tell people what their favorite is of their own work, they always deflect. But he was direct and honest and I love the choice. That is my favorite song too.

Really good reporting on a great band. No over the top sensational nonsense, there's an appreciative attitude, good questions and chemistry between interviewer and interviewee. Well done!
Now that's what a real band supposed to do ! How many Bands do you know would have waited on him to get better and do everything he had to do to play !? Nothing but RESPECT for this gentleman and the whole band as far as that goes .
I saw Def Leppard with my mom in 2002. We had very close seats with a side view and could see Rick drumming very closely. My mother was just fascinated by it. Talked about it for the longest time afterward. One of my favourite memories 💖

Rick Allen is the Thunder God,he is a true inspiration to me, and proves you can achieve anything you want to in life,he is my favourite drummer of all time.i have a lot of Love And Respect for him.
"Photograph" broke the band here in the U.S. I saw that video so many times by the early '90s and I still enjoy it now. As for Allen, I've always had mad respect for him. I didn't know he was also a painter.

I've been a fan of this group since to 80's. Always so humble. Rick is an inspiration to all who have suffered a tragedy but gotten back up, smiled , and kicked ass!
A combination of the album Hysteria and Pyromania has been my workout playlist for 35 years. Hysteria was first, as it was 68 min long, and I could go through it twice and know I'd done at least 2 hrs. of a workout. Still is the majority of my playlist for workouts, and I still have the original cassette. When I heard about Rick's accident I was just getting acquainted with the band, and was hoping you guys could continue. I was so happy, especially after seeing Rick at the drums again, that you kept on. The album I think you guys got panned on was one of your best Slang. Never had a song make it to my play list, but it was a good album to drive back and forth to work with. I'm almost 57, and you guys make me so happy to see you still going strong. I just saw a painting by Rick that just blew me away on this vid. The angel in the middle of the buildings. Absolutely stunning. Keep it up guys.
Thank you for posting this. Thank you Mr. Rick Allen for doing this interview. I have always loved Del Leppard's Music, and look forward to the next time I can go to a concert.
Wow; his artwork/TALENT is off the charts; this guy isn't a one trick pony, but a super, multi-talented artist. Me and a paint brush aren't friends, but I love his style.
I am an Official Fan of Rick Allen from 1986 when I started Listening to Def Lep.The Gorgeous & Sweet & Beautiful Lady who took the Interview is just is an Angel, sooo nicely spoken,so Kind & So Well Disciplined that I have became her Cherised Admirer.God Bless Both of the 2 Legends on this interview.
My favorite band, even though they started before i listened to music, have seen them several times in front 5 row seats, they put on a great show every time. Can't wait to see them again, yea the tickets cost quite a bit, but it's always worth it.

Def Leppard was my first concert. I was 8 years old, in the front row at the Dane County Coliseum in Madison, WI back in '87. Seeing a one-armed drummer was the spark that inspired me to start playing the drums. 30-some years later, and I'm still playing...all thanks to Rick Allen.
I had sepsis. I went through a lot. By watching this and other interviews with him. Has helping me cope when I almost died. I went through 7 surgeries in 6 weeks. I hope one day I can meet him personally. To this day I still struggle with my PTSD when fiancee died a couple years ago and my mom died after I got out of the hospital. Last 2 years not good for me. Mr Rick Allen is the best drummer of all time. He influence me in so many levels
Been a fan of his drumming since On through the night. Really tight playing on that album. Hard to believe he was so young at the time. Had he not lost his arm, he would have surely been considered one of the best in Rock today.
An Amazing Drummer! An Incredible Survival, which I Truly Appreciate! Rick has given a Generation of People Hope and Inspiration... Now his Artwork gives us More Spiritual Insight into the Man with Endless Inner STRENGTH! Love You Rick Allen ❤♥

Hysteria is my favorite song too. Will listen to every version of the song I can find and repeat it back to back more than once! Great paintings so talented
One other thing I do to this song that I rarely do with others is I love to listen to the rhythm guitar. It stands out and I can almost here it better than any other song

PHOTOGRAPH is the song that did it for me! When I first saw the video on MTV, I was hooked. They went on to become my all-time favorite band, even today! I simply adore them! They have displayed true friendship when Rick lost his arm! They didn’t throw him away. They kept him because they are not just friends! They are a family! Pure and simple! Best band ever! I am a fan until the day that I die. I want their music to be played at my memorial service! True artists! Peace.
•💟• These guys have become a favorite of mine more & more as time goes by. The nobility & honorability of them when they decided to stand by Rick after his accident was life altering for all of them & us. What a spectacular example of love, faith, strength, personal growth & God's grace. They all went through a lot, many times through the years, as have we all. Clearly, their integrity is admirable as far as their loyalty to one another as a band family. Hats off, in no small way to their wives & loved ones also. Families have it rough. May their sacrifices be richly rewarded by God Himself. No human on earth is perfect, these men are no exception, but they are none-the-less well deserving & loved Rock & Roll Royalty. Be Safe. Be Well. Be Good. Carry On. And Thank You for your contributions that have enriched our lives. May God continue to bless each of you, watch over, comfort, support & guide each of you as your journies continue to unfold. Amen. •💟• May I add my two cents and say, I have enjoyed so many of their songs, but I think maybe my favorite could be, "Two Steps Behind". •💟•
I reckon nnnnno yah hey mayn that it JUST GOES TO SHOW THE COMMITMENT THEY HAVE TOWARDS EACH OTHER HMMMMM COMMITMENT HONOUR N RESPECT HAHAHAAA HMMM I MEAN ITS NNNNNOT THAT HARD IS IT DUDE!!!!! XX LOVES YAH

I love how committed this band is to each other. That is so special and rare.
Really unheard about but Jason Andean and his band have been together for 20 years.
That’s one of the reason I have been a fan sense the beginning
Led zeppelin were the same when bonzo passed
I completely agree on that choice.
Hysteria does it for me, love that 80’s soft rock melody, and it just makes me feel awesome and unstoppable as any great rock song should.
Underrated classic of theirs if you ask me.
That song is myn and my man's songevery word is us,wen were infront of role and hear it we just look at each other and smile.
That song still gives me goosebumps every time I hear it, even 33 years later.
Agreed. Would listen to that album in the 80's start to finish just to hear that song. Best song in my favorite DL record even after all these years.
I always had an affinity for that joint. I don't hear it on AOR or classic rock stations as much as their other hits, but I always enjoy it.
marcus813 that whole album is a masterpiece, but I would agree. The song is great

Im so jealous lol.
Lucky you! So cool! He's an amazing guy for sure. Must've been a real treat to even just shake hands w/ him.
Its on my Bucket list to see DEF LEPPARD I love these Guy's 🎵🎤🎸🥁🎧🎚🎹🎶
PK nice experience!! i have a nice story. i live in the adirondacks in upstate ny . my friend john worked at a wood stove company.. a couple walked in with their child.. my friend noticed right away that it was rick allen.. so he decides to go up to the woman and he asks her to make sure is that rick allen? she says yes it is would you like to meet him? he said sure! so ricks wife calls rick over and introduces john to rick. johns telling him what a big fan he is of deff leppard.. so rick aks him, do you have any cds in your car? my friend john says yes i do ! so rick tells him to get them.. rick ended up autographing 4 cds, different albums, and draws a cartoon figure on each one. i didnt know untill this video rick was an artist.. my friend still has the cds along with a nice memory..
I got to meet him in Hollywood a few years ago when they went on tour with Kiss. Super cool guy!
My favorite band. When you hear of lead singers getting full of themselves and go out on their own, it's cool to hear of a band that sticks together even with a one armed drummer. You've got to love that.
This guy is an inspiration to the world. Loses an arm, comes back an even better drummer and can paint!! He definitely represents what is possible if you don't give up- and what can happen when you have a huge support base.
God bless you Rick Allen!!!
They have been together thru good and bad times. They have never been under contract with each other.....thats pure dedication to the fans!!!!!!
What band 40 years in HASN'T had good and bad times. The very
Nature of life.
Bravo Rick!! I've been a Def Leppard fan since the beginning and will be to the end!!
Totally agree with Hysteria! I still listen to a lot of Def Leppard and that one always gets played when I do.
I never find a moment where it doesn't fit, kind of a hopefull bit to it I don't know.
Rick is seriously one of my favorite humans 🙏🏼♥️ Such an inspiration for me and so many
Really cool guy. It’s nice when somebody that you admire is so much more than their stage persona.
incredible drummer before and incredible drummer after,the world loves it own,RICK ALLEN,i wept with you when it happened,all of those thousands of hours of practicing,god bless,you still got it,rock never forgets
Rick Allen is truly an inspiration for anyone who has ever had a setback in life. He could have just hung it up. Instead he rose above his circumstances and has had a phenomenal career.
Wow! And his art! Some people have all the talent! Go Rick!
*All Def Leppard songs are my favorite* 😍 .
BOOOOOCOTTONPICKEN YEAH MAYN BOOOOO DEF LEPPARD ROCKS!!!!!
ikr? No matter your mood or the day.. there’s an album/song for that 🌟✨
Me, too.

One of the greatest metal drummers ever! Despite what he had gone through with his tradegy, he's what I call a awesome inspiration. 😘❤
Its not realy metal, but yes its rock, and yes he’s great
*hard rock
@@angadgianirogers1844 Maybe more like Pop Rock

the band whose every member is faithful to each other ,,,and no one ever fired no one there...great band.salute

Much respect and admiration for this guy. Long live Rick! Long live Def Leppard!
What an amazing and inspiring story! He's one of the best.
Way to go Rick a perfect example of moving forward regardless of what happens great great great great
I never knew he was good at painting. Those will be very valuable one day.
They can go for tens of thousands of dollars, and he uses the proceeds to help Wounded Warrior Project.
Very nice and good painting. Just
As good as his come back after his accident! He's one lucky talented cool, intelligent guy. Rock
On.@steverobertson1729

The Thunder God himself. He's such an inspiration.
Best wishes Rick Allen!!
He’s a true rock and roll hero!!
Love love Def Leppard great memories and awesome music
Rick came back after his accident and played the hell out of those drums. So great that the band never gave up on him, nor he on himself.
I was so privileged to see him in concert!!! One arm or two ...He was Beyound Amazing!!!
Absolutely amazing
What a remarkable man! I didn't realize that he's such an accomplished artist as well.
The most heroic musician of all time...cheers brother!
Hysteria is also my favorite. What a beautiful music.

I was in Monster of Rock, Castle Donnington, 1986. Incredible.
Youre one lucky person ! Man I wish to live during those golden days of music .
@@Reymysterio1276 Was exactly 20 then, I´m 55! But, I´m happy I lived the 80´s when young. Music, art..... it was beautiful. Had a great time.
that's an amazing group of band mates/friends you've got there, Rick!!!
There is so much to say about this guy and all of it is great. Overcame impossible odds, a fantastic musician, a fantastic artist, and he actually has a favorite song from his own band. Musicians almost never tell people what their favorite is of their own work, they always deflect. But he was direct and honest and I love the choice. That is my favorite song too.
I've been in love with hie since I was 16 and am 48 and Rick Allen is amazing on the drums drums are my favorite

I have always and always will love DEF LEPPARD they r the best
I would love to meet them
you gave a really good interview
Really good reporting on a great band. No over the top sensational nonsense, there's an appreciative attitude, good questions and chemistry between interviewer and interviewee. Well done!
Now that's what a real band supposed to do ! How many Bands do you know would have waited on him to get better and do everything he had to do to play !? Nothing but RESPECT for this gentleman and the whole band as far as that goes .
Def Lep is THE best. No one could or can touch them.
Such an inspirational person. I love you Rick Allen
Wow. Rick is really something else…. Love ya Rick…….
I saw Def Leppard with my mom in 2002. We had very close seats with a side view and could see Rick drumming very closely. My mother was just fascinated by it. Talked about it for the longest time afterward. One of my favourite memories 💖

Rick Allen is the Thunder God,he is a true inspiration to me, and proves you can achieve anything you want to in life,he is my favourite drummer of all time.i have a lot of Love And Respect for him.

"Photograph" broke the band here in the U.S. I saw that video so many times by the early '90s and I still enjoy it now. As for Allen, I've always had mad respect for him. I didn't know he was also a painter.
@@lordracula2461There are definitely a lot of differences from country to country even with the same language. I enjoy stumbling upon them!
Lordracula Rick Allen said Broke himself. As a Brit I’ve heard the word used in that context countless times. You must only use the queen’s English?
Ewwwww nnnnno NOT PHOTOGRAPH!!!!! MY LOVELY HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA IT SHOULD REALLY SPELL OUT LOVE BITES U MUPPET U. HAHAHA HMMM!!!!! XX LOVES YAH
Lordracula they got broke out to the masses here in the US. Like you break out of jail. I broke out, last week. 🇬🇧😎🇺🇸

I've been a fan of this group since to 80's. Always so humble. Rick is an inspiration to all who have suffered a tragedy but gotten back up, smiled , and kicked ass!
A combination of the album Hysteria and Pyromania has been my workout playlist for 35 years. Hysteria was first, as it was 68 min long, and I could go through it twice and know I'd done at least 2 hrs. of a workout. Still is the majority of my playlist for workouts, and I still have the original cassette. When I heard about Rick's accident I was just getting acquainted with the band, and was hoping you guys could continue. I was so happy, especially after seeing Rick at the drums again, that you kept on. The album I think you guys got panned on was one of your best Slang. Never had a song make it to my play list, but it was a good album to drive back and forth to work with. I'm almost 57, and you guys make me so happy to see you still going strong. I just saw a painting by Rick that just blew me away on this vid. The angel in the middle of the buildings. Absolutely stunning. Keep it up guys.
whitefam2000 Billy’s got a gun is a must have song for working out!
High and Dry easily is a harder rocking album of theirs. All of their songs are amazing. But high and dry makes workouts more pumped
Gregory Witt on through the night too
And that what makes this band crowds above the rest! Upmost respect for them
Hysteria is an amazing song. Even all these years later it gives me chills and takes me back to a really happy time in my life.
Same here
Awesome that is truly the description of true true friendship
I meet Rick a couple of times in Amsterdam, the Netherlands and he's a fantastic person..
I bet he is
You can sense and feel the Honesty in his person and personality. This man have STRENGHT within him....
Best drummer ever! ❤️
Thank you for posting this. Thank you Mr. Rick Allen for doing this interview. I have always loved Del Leppard's Music, and look forward to the next time I can go to a concert.
I think Rick Allen is an amazing person and drummer!
Wow; his artwork/TALENT is off the charts; this guy isn't a one trick pony, but a super, multi-talented artist. Me and a paint brush aren't friends, but I love his style.
always loved and love this band , theyre legendary
Rick ! 😊😊😊😊💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕
I am an Official Fan of Rick Allen from 1986 when I started Listening to Def Lep.The Gorgeous & Sweet & Beautiful Lady who took the Interview is just is an Angel, sooo nicely spoken,so Kind & So Well Disciplined that I have became her Cherised Admirer.God Bless Both of the 2 Legends on this interview.
FANTASTIC Interview! LOVE LOVE LOVE you RICK!
So good
My favorite band, even though they started before i listened to music, have seen them several times in front 5 row seats, they put on a great show every time. Can't wait to see them again, yea the tickets cost quite a bit, but it's always worth it.
Rick is an artist in every sense of the word.

He’s the coolest. We share the same favorite song of theirs. Love them and the way they stick together as a band of brothers.
Def Leppard was my first concert. I was 8 years old, in the front row at the Dane County Coliseum in Madison, WI back in '87. Seeing a one-armed drummer was the spark that inspired me to start playing the drums. 30-some years later, and I'm still playing...all thanks to Rick Allen.
I had sepsis. I went through a lot. By watching this and other interviews with him. Has helping me cope when I almost died. I went through 7 surgeries in 6 weeks. I hope one day I can meet him personally. To this day I still struggle with my PTSD when fiancee died a couple years ago and my mom died after I got out of the hospital. Last 2 years not good for me. Mr Rick Allen is the best drummer of all time. He influence me in so many levels
Been a fan of his drumming since On through the night. Really tight playing on that album. Hard to believe he was so young at the time. Had he not lost his arm, he would have surely been considered one of the best in Rock today.
An Amazing Drummer! An Incredible Survival, which I Truly Appreciate! Rick has given a Generation of People Hope and Inspiration... Now his Artwork gives us More Spiritual Insight into the Man with Endless Inner STRENGTH! Love You Rick Allen ❤♥

Hysteria is my favorite song too. Will listen to every version of the song I can find and repeat it back to back more than once! Great paintings so talented
One other thing I do to this song that I rarely do with others is I love to listen to the rhythm guitar. It stands out and I can almost here it better than any other song

PHOTOGRAPH is the song that did it for me! When I first saw the video on MTV, I was hooked. They went on to become my all-time favorite band, even today! I simply adore them! They have displayed true friendship when Rick lost his arm! They didn’t throw him away. They kept him because they are not just friends! They are a family! Pure and simple! Best band ever! I am a fan until the day that I die. I want their music to be played at my memorial service! True artists! Peace.
Holy shit he can paint !! My god unbelievable talent
Rick. Class act all the way.

These guys have become a favorite of mine more & more as time goes by.
The nobility & honorability of them when they decided to stand by Rick after his accident was life altering for all of them & us. What a spectacular example of love, faith, strength, personal growth & God's grace.
They all went through a lot, many times through the years, as have we all.
Clearly, their integrity is admirable as far as their loyalty to one another as a band family.
Hats off, in no small way to their wives & loved ones also. Families have it rough. May their sacrifices be richly rewarded by God Himself.
No human on earth is perfect, these men are no exception, but they are none-the-less well deserving & loved Rock & Roll Royalty.
Be Safe.
Be Well.
Be Good.
Carry On.
And Thank You for your contributions that have enriched our lives.
May God continue to bless each of you, watch over, comfort, support & guide each of you as your journies continue to unfold.
Amen.

May I add my two cents and say, I have enjoyed so many of their songs, but I think maybe my favorite could be, "Two Steps Behind".
