^80s teen, and can confirm: it was AMAZING. I'd've liked to have been born in 1955, though. I'd be mid-60s now, but alive during all 3 of my fave rock decades, and I'd've still been young in 1990.
I was able to see them on this tour, summer b4 my 10th grade. They were amazing. June 3rd, 1983 Cap Center, Landover MD...or as Iron Maiden said, Largo, MD 🤘
This entire album was CLASSIC. Not just Photograph....Rock Rock (Til you drop) ...Stagefright.....Too late for love..Rock of ages..foolin'....the ENTIRE album
Lost the arm, we felt the band wouldn’t be the same, and then as good as Pyromania was, Hysteria was just as good or better. I had a much better sound system in my Mach 1 for Hysteria and spent countless hours parked playing that tape way too loud. I believe Hysteria was also my first CD (tape wore out)
It's Hysteria for me. Very bittersweet, I think about a certain girl I was in love with at 17 and she shot me down. I remember taking a shower the night I was rejected and upset about it and Hysteria was playing on my stereo. 35 years ago, She's long forgotten now, but when I hear Hysteria I instantly think of her.
UGH same I’m 30 but these songs always remind me of my dad singing them in the car when I was a kid and playing the air guitar and drum guitar on the steering wheel🥰
And science would also have you know, music is becoming worse (more homogenised, unoriginal, lacking in creativity, louder, less diverse, songs written and produced more and more by the same people) over the decades and it's only getting worse for every aspect of music, which is a tragedy for someone who loves and respects music
I remember this being a huge hit in the U.S. in early '83 when I was age 19. Even today, I can listen to this, and in my mind, I'm 19 again. I love the power of music to transport and transform!
I was born in 83 and this song has always been one of my favorites. I heard it growing up so much and life was better back then. I had no idea it was released in 83 though lol
This album wasn't released until 1987. I bought it on cassette immediately. This album reminds me of high school basketball road games. One of my all time favorite albums and bands.
You wouldn't regret a thing. There was some embarrassing stuff happening, but then there was stuff like this, and so much Epicness to outweigh the bad.

I already told my kids, when I go, send a copy of this album with me....
My Dad got me an mp3 player for my 10th birthday, he’d loaded it with a bunch of 80’s rock. I guess the only problem was that I didn’t know how to navigate the different folders at the time, but when I pressed play this was the song that came on, so for all I knew it was the only song on there. I wasn’t complaining, Photograph is by far my favorite 80s song, even today. Miss you, Dad.
Is it just me, but I still look at Viv as the "new guy" even though he's been in the band longer that Steve Clark was. I miss Steve and the way him and Phil were.
history has proven that musical innovation is full of danger to the state. when modes of music change the fundamental laws of the state always change with them. if, in fact the entertainment / media is tied to government "rule", they wish to have society disrupt its self to instill the laws they want to impose. this, imho, is why music is what it is today and why it sucks.
I bet you don't even explore music at all. I have listened to the underground garage on Sirius for years they play a lot of great new bands. Look up rival sons for example a killer band. Ugh so many jaded people. TH-cam is as much of a cesspool as Facebook is. I'm outta here. Look up that band they're awesome. To each his own. I like to visit the past I just don't wanna live there

The most Ironic thing about Def Leppard is that they first started off as a group of guys who wanted to start a band together for laughs and giggles. To this day, they're still one of the best bands I've ever listened to and they continue to stay together until the very end.
That’s part of why I like the electronic duo MGMT. They were in college when they were like “Let’s make an album using bad ideas for a joke” and it’s probably their most iconic album and a bunch of the songs are amazing.
I'm 55, I believe I was 14 in 1984, and I was in LOVE with Joe Elliott, lead singer of DL. I remember going to sleep every night listening & dreaming of him. Back then all i had was a small compact tape player with orange ear foams. Great days!!!
This was done before the accident the drummer had. MUCH RESPECT for them standing behind him and never giving up on him. LOVE this song. The 80's rocked.

Does anyone else out there get the absolute chills when Joe Elliot hits that vocal in 3:27 when he sings, I wanna touch you. Then he immediately goes into a long ahhhhhhhhhhh. Friggin gets me every time!!!!! One of the best bands ever!!!!!
I was 14 when this came out. I was in a time where every where I looked something amazing was going on. Days and nights lasted forever. I remember telling a friend then that this time is the best we will ever have. Arcade games all over the place. skating rinks, cruising town was about a mile long two lane road with everyone driving real slow. people jumping into other peoples cars. two classes of kids then Hoods and Jocks. I guess I borderlined. I played sports but I sure did love having a mullet. This song still holds up today and nothing will ever ever ever sound like this again. Enjoy it
I'm right there with ya. I was 15 when this came out. My buddies and I used to say the same thing back then... this is the best time of our lives, right here. And it was. Not that our lives haven't had some amazing moments along the way, but nothing beat being a teenager in the 80's. I can still smell the cloves in the air.
I was 14 and in 8th grade, remember it well. Smoking weed every day, chasing girls, riding mopeds!!! LMAO. The 80's in suburban Cleveland, Ohio. Loved every second of it.
I’m only 14 and I can’t disagree. My parents raised me right. They told me about bands like Metallica, motly crue and def leopard, some of the best songs came out of the 80s
And to see him so gracious for his achievements especially when they got inducted into the Hall of Fame. The tears in his eyes tell all! Found a newfound respect for the guy from then on...
My all time FAVORITE Def Leppard song. I've listened to it at least once every day since I first heard it in 1983. Got the album in March for my birthday. That's 12,833 times and it still gets me pumped up. Music today can't do that. Long live 80's Rock.
It is and I love that whole album but this song's harmonies just seem perfect to me. If I had to pick a second favorite it would be Wasted. When I saw them play it live the first time they were much heavier on it. Blew my mind!! They could have struck out with a much more hard sound and been just as famous.
MANOWAR KILLS I remember the day I first herd this song from then it has become my favorite song and that’s saying a lot considering I listen to all 70’s 80’s and 90’s rock and metal

Summer of 1983…. Just like yesterday. I remember wearing the same t-shirt. This video was all over MTV. I saw them live in Houston at the Summit. Amazing. Yet, my favorite song from this album is still “Die Hard The Hunter”. Just so true, even today.
Pretty much. I can remember where I was and what I was doing the first time I heard this song. That's the power of music. Remember staying up to watch this on "Friday Night Videos"? 🤣🤣
@@TheYobo1016 FNV was a cool format (kind of like a comedy club setting). But I also enjoyed Don Kirshner's Rock Concert and Midnight Special, which preceded FNV. Ah, the good ol' days :)
Feel it? The breeze blowing through the windows as you cruised through your hometown same as the other 80's teens. This was OUR music. Our time to be wild and free as possible before adulthood got ahold of us. I can still feel the humid summer air, the crisp air in the fall blowing through my permed hair, all a part of your tingling senses as Def Leppard blasted out of your stereo system and you sang with your friends or your significant other...and felt your heart thrum hard with excitement for the moment, for the times we were blessed to be teens in. Nothing like it will ever happen again except when we listen to the songs of our youth. God it was so good. For a little while it was so very good. And every time I listen to the 80's hits...I'm right back there in a heartbeat.
Are you from the mid west? Illinois maybe? What's a real nostalgia blast is moving away from your hometown after HS. Then moving back 20 or 30yrs later. I'll be 52 in March, it's getting warm enough to take the 1985 Yamaha Xj700 Maxin out for a ride. Took the dirt bike out for a ride today down to the river.
well, first off, this version was uploaded just 5 years ago, so all those other version on youtube got a ton of views from 2007 or so when youtube came along, so that's over 11 years of views not showing, then there's all the different uploads of it from lyric videos to the previous versions of this that have been removed for copyright - plus a lot listen to streaming services like pandora, and spotify etc etc... it's probably over a half billion streams, if that makes ya feel better. and yes, modern music is easily 2/3 trash lol
To all of those who DIDN'T grow up in the 80's, I offer you my DEEPEST SYMPATHIES and CONDOLENCES !!! ... you simply have NO idea as to what you missed!
One of this black Detroit 60's chick's favorite rock songs and videos. Love Photograph and love Dep Leppard! Love that high note the lead singer hits and holds!
@@jonathanrussell9733 really? I was in high school/college in the 80’s. If there was any threat, it never touched my life. School, friends, music, parties, and clubs were all I worried or cared about. Best time of all the decades I’ve lived.
Born in 1995 my mom played all the great stuff from poison and Def Leppard and slaughter to cher and Bryan adams she passed away in 2010 when I was 14 got her favorite song lyric every rose has its thorn on my arm and still jam out in her honor❤️
Crying watching this at 51 years old. Must have been 12 or 13 when I saw this video on the old knob television. Didn' understand what rock was but I knew this was good shit.
Class of 1990 = turning 18/adulthood, leaving HS & having the 80s decade all come to an end, all at the same time. It made life when you were young really feel like it had just drastically changed for you.
Man, this takes me back!! When Pyromania came out, they took the world by storm! Still have my original Pyromania and High N Dry on Vinyl. Joe was one HELL of a singer then!
Aside from being one of the most underrated bands from the 70's and 80's, when their drummer lost an arm in an accident they never abandoned him, didn't dump him and get another drummer. They waited for him to relearn how to play with petals and his one arm and IMO you'd never think he could play this well with that handicap. They loved him and waited for him and there isn't many, if any bands that would do that. I love their music and when I learned about their waiting for their drummer to come back it not only made my enjoy their music more, but every member of this band deserves tremendous respect in how they handled an extremely serious situation and made them better.
@@paulmcgrath6118 are you trying to say they're as well known and listened to as Led Zeppelin?!? It's cool you love their music as much as I do, and I live on this planet.
@@djs3484 hello , not looking to start an argument with you 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻, I’m a big fan , in fact my nine year old daughter went to see them in Sheffield a few weeks ago and got two plectrums from motley crue and one from def leppard ! I didn’t mean to sound rude or condescending, you’ve great taste in music !!!have a great day
I love all the members of Def Leppard. They have something special beyond being great-looking and talented, which they are. They have heart and soul and are family. 💖
When Joe sings, “done”…… on that “look what you’ve, done”……bit on the pre-chorus. It still strikes a chord in me, every….single….time, I hear it. It’s one of those feelings from my childhood that I’ve never let go of……and I hope, I never do!
They say nostalgia is a form of depression but I believe if music could make the transition from its current shitty form back to this beauty the whole world might follow.
I've never heard that "Nostalgia is a form of depression"??? Or could it just be that things - (music especially) was just better then? I am a very happy person, and look back on the 80's with nothing but smiles... /S
There is still all kinds of great music being made now if you're willing to make the bare minimum effort and find some stuff you like. Just sitting back and saying the shitty pop surface of today is all that there is is lazy and uninformed.
This song was played 24/7 back when it came out. And it was one of the songs that was responsible for Arena Rock phase that kicked off one of the greatest eras of music ever, LOVE THIS SONG, ALWAYS WILL!
Journey was the first AOR band I saw the live in 1981 , and 1983. They would pack stadiums, it was beyond description. I love Def Leppard. Saw them twice.
Lately I've seen lots of people wearing Def Leppard t-shirts in my place like an epidemic situation. I'm so happy. Talent reaching generations through time.
Same, yesterday I saw a teen, prob 14 years old wearing a jean jacket saying def leppard on it, then a month later I noticed 10 kids in the same park wearing it, too!
Man this tune brings back memories: As a grade 8 high school student in Montreal, I arrived in my French class only to discover that the last student to sit at my desk had left a Parade magazine with Def Leppard on the cover. had never heard of these guys but I spent the rest of the period reading about them. I thought they looked cool and that they dressed like real rockers. Fast forward 3 weeks later and my buddy tells me that his older brother has two extra tickets to see Def Leppard at the Forum. "Hell yeah!" To this day, this 56 year old still loves Joe Elliott and the crew!
My girlfriend and I just together since almost 20 years after high school and she dropped dead of cardiac arrest. She was cremated and ashes scattered at sea. All I have left of her is a few photographs and my menories. That's why this song hits me HARD.
Weep not for those who sink within the arms of death ere yet the wintery breath of sorrow o'er them blows; But weep for those who here remain, the mournful heritors of pain, condemned to see each bright joy fade, and mark grief's melancholy shade flung o'er Hope's fairest rose. ~Mrs. Embury~
Feel yr pain mate-lost my parents young, estranged from my sister who tried to destroy me with the Will n all I have is photographs of my family life. Still I’m here now n will make the max out of my life. All the best brother.
50 year old man here who just remembered that this was his favorite song in the fourth grade. Binge watching music videos on TH-cam of all of my favorite rock songs in 4th Grade because my mom wouldn’t allow me to watch the music videos on MTV back then. Def Leppard, Quiet Riot++.
Ruben Delgadillo my town was so small we didn’t have MTV in 1983!!. I first heard of Def Lepard when I joined the Army in Sept. 83, they became my favorite band next to Van Halen
The 80s had lots of great music..you had Def Leppard,AC/DC, Aerosmith, Guns N Roses,Journey,Reo Speedwagon,Whitesnake,Heart,Bon Jovi and some others...but yeah you can't beat Def Leppard atleast in my opinion 😉

Well said.
I'm right there with ya. I was 15 when this came out. My buddies and I used to say the same thing back then... this is the best time of our lives, right here. And it was. Not that our lives haven't had some amazing moments along the way, but nothing beat being a teenager in the 80's. I can still smell the cloves in the air.
Amen brother. I was 16..love to go back. Even for one day
I was 13 and remember it well. Very fond memories of that time in my life.
I was 14 and in 8th grade, remember it well. Smoking weed every day, chasing girls, riding mopeds!!! LMAO. The 80's in suburban Cleveland, Ohio. Loved every second of it.
I grew up in 1980's. To this day, whenever I purchase a new vehicle, this is the first thing that is allowed to play in the stereo. No exceptions.
Pretty cool rule
' second song to play is is the extended night fever' song disco cat made a cool 4sure song out of it
I’m only 14 and I can’t disagree. My parents raised me right. They told me about bands like Metallica, motly crue and def leopard, some of the best songs came out of the 80s
👍👍👍👍
Great!!
Still super blown away that Rick Allen came back from his accident. What a true rock star.
Rick allen had so much determination to carry on after his accident and still do what he liked doing and hats off to the band for not abandoning him
He pulled himself up by his boot strap(s)
@@roymelton9240 I don’t think joe of all people would do that
And to see him so gracious for his achievements especially when they got inducted into the Hall of Fame. The tears in his eyes tell all! Found a newfound respect for the guy from then on...
In 1985
Nothing says summer of "1983" like this song does for me, I can't believe i still remember it after all these years. Not the song, I mean that summer!
My all time FAVORITE Def Leppard song. I've listened to it at least once every day since I first heard it in 1983. Got the album in March for my birthday. That's 12,833 times and it still gets me pumped up. Music today can't do that. Long live 80's Rock.
Never thought Photograph would be the favorite DL song from a Manowar fan lmao but all 80's Leppard is great.
It is and I love that whole album but this song's harmonies just seem perfect to me. If I had to pick a second favorite it would be Wasted. When I saw them play it live the first time they were much heavier on it. Blew my mind!! They could have struck out with a much more hard sound and been just as famous.
HELL YES
MANOWAR KILLS I remember the day I first herd this song from then it has become my favorite song and that’s saying a lot considering I listen to all 70’s 80’s and 90’s rock and metal
MANOWAR KILLS mine too....favorite song by them that is
My favorite Def Leppard song.

Excellent they deserve it. Definitely 👏👏👏
Summer of 1983…. Just like yesterday. I remember wearing the same t-shirt.
This video was all over MTV. I saw them live in Houston at the Summit. Amazing.
Yet, my favorite song from this album is still “Die Hard The Hunter”. Just so true, even today.
Me. Still blown away by this song. Absolute perfection
Here every day!
Joe’s vocals at 3:30 still amazes me today
The hook for me is 1:44
Def Leppard - Photograph is one of my all time Favorite songs period! Bring back the 1980"S!
Yes! Partytime 1984!
The solo is one of my favorites
You got that right man, what a great era it was
Have you heard WigWam In my dreams? Its very same vibe. I wreckon you'll love it
You ain't kidding...I want my M..T...V..😁👍✌️🎸
I remember when this video was released on MTV. They played the hell out of it.
2:31 gives me chills every time
Hell yeah whooo
When I first heard it, I was hooked on Def Leopard.
@@vitosciortino3943 Def Leppard
Cunningham, you got a lot to learn... so try to keep up😚
3:29 Goosebumps... every single time... Even after listening to it for almost 40 years now
Pretty much. I can remember where I was and what I was doing the first time I heard this song. That's the power of music. Remember staying up to watch this on "Friday Night Videos"? 🤣🤣
@@TheYobo1016 FNV was a cool format (kind of like a comedy club setting). But I also enjoyed Don Kirshner's Rock Concert and Midnight Special, which preceded FNV. Ah, the good ol' days :)
Me too..
I was really looking for this comment. I knew someone else felt it. Lol
Insane a human being can sing that well
Respect for Rick Allen for still playing drums
I’m 12, on August 23. I saw Def Leppard, Steve miller band, and journey and Def Leppard played this song. DEFinitely one of favorite leppard songs.
3:27 The note he hits after singing "I want to touch you" IS UNREAL, blasting that part in my car gives me goosebumps
Couldn't agree more, I'm in awe at how he can hit the note without passing out. Such an incredible vocalist
Best part! I like the whole video too
Eastmund Caerny agreed! Photograph is one of their best songs! And Pyromania is one of their best albums!
Yes!!!! One of my favorite parts of the song.
There's a lot of reverb and room effect on it... Enhances it even more!!!
Feel it? The breeze blowing through the windows as you cruised through your hometown same as the other 80's teens. This was OUR music. Our time to be wild and free as possible before adulthood got ahold of us. I can still feel the humid summer air, the crisp air in the fall blowing through my permed hair, all a part of your tingling senses as Def Leppard blasted out of your stereo system and you sang with your friends or your significant other...and felt your heart thrum hard with excitement for the moment, for the times we were blessed to be teens in. Nothing like it will ever happen again except when we listen to the songs of our youth. God it was so good. For a little while it was so very good. And every time I listen to the 80's hits...I'm right back there in a heartbeat.
Perfectly woven tapestry of the imagery of our youth!
Nicely worded!! Thanks 👍
Are you from the mid west? Illinois maybe? What's a real nostalgia blast is moving away from your hometown after HS. Then moving back 20 or 30yrs later. I'll be 52 in March, it's getting warm enough to take the 1985 Yamaha Xj700 Maxin out for a ride. Took the dirt bike out for a ride today down to the river.
Truer words. Nostalgia is a very real thing.
@@michaelbrinks8089 Nope! The South! Enjoy!
How tf does this not even have over 100 million views??It totally deserves it
because most people have a crappy taste in music
😭
What does it matter? Not everything is about views and likes. A world existed before social media.
@Emma Rae I know it doesn't matter...but It's just sad how people rather listen to trash 😔 😪 if you know you then you know!
well, first off, this version was uploaded just 5 years ago, so all those other version on youtube got a ton of views from 2007 or so when youtube came along, so that's over 11 years of views not showing, then there's all the different uploads of it from lyric videos to the previous versions of this that have been removed for copyright - plus a lot listen to streaming services like pandora, and spotify etc etc... it's probably over a half billion streams, if that makes ya feel better. and yes, modern music is easily 2/3 trash lol
They’ve sold over 100 million records worldwide on 12 releases. Pretty damn good
To all of those who DIDN'T grow up in the 80's, I offer you my DEEPEST SYMPATHIES and CONDOLENCES !!!
... you simply have NO idea as to what you missed!
Amen❤ Which is why you can see Gen Z turn out the way they did
Indeed!!
Hell yeah !!! My best years
Why? they're still around! 😂😂😂
1983 was 8th grade for me
Timeless classic that still holds up today. They still put on a killer live show too!
You ain't kidding..A Must see.I saw them in New Jersey off the Parkway..Great I mean Great ..My God..The Chicks were going Crazy..Cool..awesome show👍😁
One of this black Detroit 60's chick's favorite rock songs and videos. Love Photograph and love Dep Leppard! Love that high note the lead singer hits and holds!
Hello Patricia, how are you doing?
Imagine the greatest music in history with no anxiety about cell phones, social media or social instability!! We lived then!!!
Best era ever!
No, just the constant thread of nuclear annhilation. Also lots of social instability?
Oh Yeah! 😊
@@jonathanrussell9733 really? I was in high school/college in the 80’s. If there was any threat, it never touched my life. School, friends, music, parties, and clubs were all I worried or cared about. Best time of all the decades I’ve lived.
Born in 1995 my mom played all the great stuff from poison and Def Leppard and slaughter to cher and Bryan adams she passed away in 2010 when I was 14 got her favorite song lyric every rose has its thorn on my arm and still jam out in her honor❤️
😭😭😭😭😭 fucking rock on baby girl 🤘🤘
This song never gets old.
80s rock ‘n’ roll i’m living for it😊🤘🤘🎥📺🎸🎸🎤🎶🎬
This song made Def Leppard successful
このバンドの曲は何時も最高な気分にしてくれます😊
I got to be a kid durning the 80’s! Each year was great! 80-89 rock on baby rock on!
wasnt the 80s a non stop party!?? all the great music we had, still sounds great after all these years.
This song rocks.
I remember this in the MTV Friday night video fights.
I think it stayed champ for the longest time
This is one of those songs THAT JUST NEVER GETS OLD. Great hook, vocals, guitar solo, it has it ALL.
Crying watching this at 51 years old. Must have been 12 or 13 when I saw this video on the old knob television. Didn' understand what rock was but I knew this was good shit.
Class of 1990 = turning 18/adulthood, leaving HS & having the 80s decade all come to an end, all at the same time. It made life when you were young really feel like it had just drastically changed for you.
Pathetic
This is my favorite Def Leppard song!!!
Same
Same
I first heard this song on gta 5
I'm listening 🎶 Thanksgiving Night 🌙. From Texas🇨🇱 to California.
From Dallas TX 2 u my friend
Smoke big for us here n Dallas str8 to Cali
Man. I miss rock n roll. Today’s music doesn’t compare. This video takes me back to my childhood watching MTV all day!!!
i wish i grew up in that time it looked really fun and people not being sensitive like today
This is truly one of the greatest songs of all-time and reminds me of the Golden age of MTV.
Man, this takes me back!! When Pyromania came out, they took the world by storm! Still have my original Pyromania and High N Dry on Vinyl. Joe was one HELL of a singer then!
Aside from being one of the most underrated bands from the 70's and 80's, when their drummer lost an arm in an accident they never abandoned him, didn't dump him and get another drummer. They waited for him to relearn how to play with petals and his one arm and IMO you'd never think he could play this well with that handicap. They loved him and waited for him and there isn't many, if any bands that would do that. I love their music and when I learned about their waiting for their drummer to come back it not only made my enjoy their music more, but every member of this band deserves tremendous respect in how they handled an extremely serious situation and made them better.
Facts! Very well said
On what planet are they underrated ? They are one of the most famous 80s rock bands? One of only two NWOBHM bands around today
@@paulmcgrath6118 are you trying to say they're as well known and listened to as Led Zeppelin?!? It's cool you love their music as much as I do, and I live on this planet.
@@djs3484 hello , not looking to start an argument with you 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻, I’m a big fan , in fact my nine year old daughter went to see them in Sheffield a few weeks ago and got two plectrums from motley crue and one from def leppard ! I didn’t mean to sound rude or condescending, you’ve great taste in music !!!have a great day
They already knew, what inclusion means, when it just wasn't more than a word. My own experiences with inclusion at school were really bad...
I love all the members of Def Leppard. They have something special beyond being great-looking and talented, which they are. They have heart and soul and are family. 💖
I remember being 13 years old and hearing this on the radio and playing air guitar to it and next year this song will be 40 years old unbelievable!
me too but I was 8 years old and been a fan since
@@ur_favone I would watch this video and their other videos on Night Tracks on TBS and later on MTV, those were the days.
And today is pyromania’s 40th anniversary. One of the best albums in rock history!
When Joe sings, “done”…… on that “look what you’ve, done”……bit on the pre-chorus. It still strikes a chord in me, every….single….time, I hear it. It’s one of those feelings from my childhood that I’ve never let go of……and I hope, I never do!
Stay out of my yard though...
One of the best rock heavy metal bands out there
This tune absolutely kills . Joe Elliot’s best vocal performance. IMO. 🎤🎤
Released 40 years ago today 3/2/83 !!!!!
They say nostalgia is a form of depression but I believe if music could make the transition from its current shitty form back to this beauty the whole world might follow.
I've never heard that "Nostalgia is a form of depression"??? Or could it just be that things - (music especially) was just better then? I am a very happy person, and look back on the 80's with nothing but smiles... /S
What I would do to live in the 80s😔
Music is part of nostalgia but its also many great yrs! hard to leave them behind.
Amen ❤️
There is still all kinds of great music being made now if you're willing to make the bare minimum effort and find some stuff you like. Just sitting back and saying the shitty pop surface of today is all that there is is lazy and uninformed.
Great rock never gets old. Thank you for more than 40 years!!!.
This song was played 24/7 back when it came out. And it was one of the songs that was responsible for Arena Rock phase that kicked off one of the greatest eras of music ever, LOVE THIS SONG, ALWAYS WILL!
Journey was the first AOR band I saw the live in 1981 , and 1983. They would pack stadiums, it was beyond description. I love Def Leppard. Saw them twice.
@@mrjl5253 Journey was a great band. A great singer with great story telling songs. How I miss those days.
Lately I've seen lots of people wearing Def Leppard t-shirts in my place like an epidemic situation. I'm so happy. Talent reaching generations through time.
Same, yesterday I saw a teen, prob 14 years old wearing a jean jacket saying def leppard on it, then a month later I noticed 10 kids in the same park wearing it, too!
Phantom Asia new not the same though. Without Steve clark forget it. However, they left the "rock of ages" legacy. Hope the youth can find it.
Phantom Asia great 👍
People nowadays are also wearing band t-shirt for bands they've heard of before. So it could be that as well :P
yup....and we were _there_ when it went down! 🎸🎸📢👍
Man this tune brings back memories: As a grade 8 high school student in Montreal, I arrived in my French class only to discover that the last student to sit at my desk had left a Parade magazine with Def Leppard on the cover. had never heard of these guys but I spent the rest of the period reading about them. I thought they looked cool and that they dressed like real rockers. Fast forward 3 weeks later and my buddy tells me that his older brother has two extra tickets to see Def Leppard at the Forum. "Hell yeah!"
To this day, this 56 year old still loves Joe Elliott and the crew!
Cheers. I love you folk too. Cest bon?
I have loved Def Leppard since I was 8 years old. I am 42 know. Great memories. Still listening and will always will be!
Hello Tamara, how are you doing today, hope you’re fine and safe from the Virus??
Me too
Whenever I'm out with old friends - at some point I get handed a Les Paul and ordered to play photograph, it never fails.
@tamara I’m 42 also! Def Leppard was a huge soundtrack all growing up!!
Best MTV video EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I was born in 78, but I had 2 awesome teen uncles and there music tastes raised me through the 80s. I'm still stuck there and always will be.
This is REAL music!
Southern Princess I would say all music is real. Just depends on if its good
Flareon Dude wrong you entirely missed the point
Well there was a lot of heavy production on this album to be fair
❤❤❤💞❤❤
Isn't that the truth👏 music is trash now
God. Damn. That is one excellent song. Joe Elliott can SING!!! And the rest of the band is just as brilliant. Love!
Hello Tassie ☺
Can't imagine being on abandoned where everyone is willing to see....def leppard has a hold on me! Look what you've done to this rock n roll crowd!
Wow it totally screwed up my words , can't imagine a band where everyone is willing to sing, I must have been drunk, my apologies!
Going to the Def Leppard and Journey concert with my son September 8 2018 T-mobile arena kick ass man.....
Art Gonzalez yeah that was such a great show!!!!!
Did the same thing with my son(s) in Portland Oregon last Friday night.
whoa that must have been a great show
I went to see them at the forum on October 7th,very last show of the tour with Journey 🤘🏼
Journey cover band. Sorry it’s not Journey without Steve just like it’s not Def Leppard if they replaced Joe Elliot.
My girlfriend and I just together since almost 20 years after high school and she dropped dead of cardiac arrest. She was cremated and ashes scattered at sea. All I have left of her is a few photographs and my menories. That's why this song hits me HARD.
Sorry to hear that, man. My condolences.
So very sorry for your loss..
Weep not for those who sink within the arms of death ere yet the wintery breath of sorrow o'er them blows; But weep for those who here remain, the mournful heritors of pain, condemned to see each bright joy fade, and mark grief's melancholy shade flung o'er Hope's fairest rose. ~Mrs. Embury~
Feel yr pain mate-lost my parents young, estranged from my sister who tried to destroy me with the Will n all I have is photographs of my family life. Still I’m here now n will make the max out of my life. All the best brother.
I’m so sorry for your loss. ❤️
An 80's Classic...I used to play this in the morning before I went to school my Senior year
I heard this today for the first time instantly caught my attention. Great song!
One of the best rock songs ever written.
50 year old man here who just remembered that this was his favorite song in the fourth grade. Binge watching music videos on TH-cam of all of my favorite rock songs in 4th Grade because my mom wouldn’t allow me to watch the music videos on MTV back then. Def Leppard, Quiet Riot++.
Who else was watching and listening to this on MTV in 1983!
Me seen them in concert in 1983.
@@hectormiranda1692 me too before Rick Allen lost his arm
We used to play this video in the game room at the mall.
Listening at age 19 on the radio!
Ruben Delgadillo my town was so small we didn’t have MTV in 1983!!. I first heard of Def Lepard when I joined the Army in Sept. 83, they became my favorite band next to Van Halen
Pyro perfect ! Music is timeless creation . good job 👍 !
Not many songs better than this back in the 80's.
The 80s had lots of great music..you had Def Leppard,AC/DC, Aerosmith, Guns N Roses,Journey,Reo Speedwagon,Whitesnake,Heart,Bon Jovi and some others...but yeah you can't beat Def Leppard atleast in my opinion 😉
One of the catchiest songs ever. Electrifying.
