I date back to the music of the 60's and as much as I adore the music of the 70's, the 80's were supreme! And my favorite 80's band has always been Def Leppard!!!
Check out the live version from their 1987 tour, In the Round, In Your Face. It starts out acoustic then builds with each verse. If you can find it, do the version with with Switch 625. At the end of the one you played, you could faintly hear the bass line coming in. It’s not officially part of the song, just an instrumental blended into it. It rarely if ever gets played on radio, even Sirius. They reinvented themselves with each album but they can always be recognized as Def Leppard no matter the style of song.
I stopped at 2:20 and shouted NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!! NOOOOOOO!!!!!! The original version is 10 x better than the synthesizer version. Then I started again and yelled, "THANK GOD!" The synthesizer is just not DL.
Average age of band was 20 years old during this LP. Both guitarists and bass player were 20, drummer was 17 and lead vocalist was 21. Very talented musicians and all can sing well too. Live shows and even to this day, vocals and harmonies are amazing. Catchy sing along melodic hooks over harder crunchy guitar centered music at it's best with these guys. IMO, their very underrated and don't get credit they deserve in rock genre, because their music is so popular and had many billboard hits. They set the blueprint for 80s rock not once but twice with Pyromania in 83 and Hysteria in 87. Some other Def Leppard tracks to check out: Hysteria (live in the round '88) Animal (live in the round '88) Love Bites(1988) Armageddon it (1988) Rocket(Hysteria live at O2 2018) Promises (live Vegas to London 2019) Let's Get Rocked ( Hysteria live at O2 2018) Just a few...lol Keep up great work. Enjoy the reactions to my favorite band
This was my first introduction song to Def Leppard too... I think 1st time I smoked weed too lol we went to my friend's at lunch and she busted out her older brother's albums and we skipped a period laying around listening to new (to me) music. It was worth getting in trouble for!😉
They are great performers. ❤. I seen them 7x and each concert was AMAZING. I just seen them in July at Miller Park in Milwaukee WI They are really young in this video, one of the earliest one. They have Ballad and Bangers. Please listen to Foolin Love Bites, base line and vocals, one of their best Let’s get Rocked Rocket Pour some sugar on me Too late for love Rocket Stage fright Women Armageddon It When Love and hate collide Have you ever needed someone so bad All I want is Everything Oh I could on and on. I first Seen them in 1980, I was 16 and I’ve seen them every chance I could. These are my boys and they still are. They are all in the 60’s, except for Rick Allen the drummer. He was 15 when he joined the group. He is 57 I believe. Rick lost his left arm in a car accident, he went through his sun roof and his seat belt severed his left arm off. The band never thought about replacing him. The group Queen was doing electric drum kits. So they waited for Rick to heal and to build his drum kit. True Brotherhood.
Loved your reaction to this! I was 20 when this came out, so it's pretty nostalgic to me - so many good times and DL was definitely a backdrop. BTW, I would not have minded if you played the remixed one, too, and tried to find the differences; I think it would have been fun & interesting. Looking forward to more DL.
This is a live version, you should do the real video as it's pretty epic th-cam.com/video/4g0CJdt-auk/w-d-xo.html This was my intro to them and I have seen them in concert multiple times and they are fantastic. All members born in the early 60's so in their late teens, early 20's. All of their videos are amazing.
This is definitely not live. It's the original album version from 1981, over lip-synced video shoot footage. In 1984 there was a re-release of the High N Dry album that had a remix of Bringin' on the Heartbreak with synths which is the video you linked. (The remix also did not segue into Switch 625 as it does on the original release, you can hear it being faded out at the end of the video above.) There was also a new song called Me & My Wine on the re-issue that also has a hilarious video.
This is one of my favorite songs ever. Glad you listened to this version. Now do “High ‘N’ Dry” and “Rock of Ages”.
ikr this was one of their best songs
He should also do "On Through The Night" from the first album, as well
And Me and my Wine. Hell, all of On Through the Night and High and Dry.
Summer 1981...what a good time to be a carefree teen listening to DL. ✌❤
Def Leppard popularized the power ballad with this song. And they were very, very young in this video. They are still a great live band.
They are young here. The Rick Allen (drummer) still has both arms.
Excellent band 👏 🔥🔥
Thanks for the great reaction❤❤❤❤
Why? Why did you put this up?
It is more fun seeing their shock, when they spot it while watching Pour Some Sugar On Me.
@@michaelconnor1542 😬
High and Dry = Perfect from start to finish!!

This song was about 10 years before my time, but once I heard it, I never stopped listening to Def Leppard.
Mirror, Mirror is one of my favorites. And Lady Strange.
Most of them were teenagers when they released HND. Rick Allen was 15 when he started playing drums for them.
Drummer still had both arms... so yes, they were very young during this album.

omg u r the 1st person to react to this lol...i saw them in the 80s....great reaction
I stopped at 2:20 and shouted NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!! NOOOOOOO!!!!!! The original version is 10 x better than the synthesizer version. Then I started again and yelled, "THANK GOD!" The synthesizer is just not DL.
Me, too!!!!!
Too Late is one of my favorites by them.
My favorite!!!!
This is the best lineup, best album by far.
Great reaction! You can keep playing music. I’ll stay with you to listen! 🤣 Bringing back my youth and hours of laying around watching MTV!
Great choice. Definitely Top 3 Def Leppard songs.
You missed out on listening to the one that had the outro "Switch 625". Listen to that if you can.
Yes! The song just seems uncomplete to me without that.
RIP Steve Clark 😢 🙏

That's the 80's
By far my favorite, but I do like the other version. We were all young in 81. I was 19!!
There is NOTHING like 80s hair metal. DL are geniusesssss
Pour Some Sugar On Me!
ANOTHER ROCKIN BAND KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK MATE FROM THE LAND DOWN UNDER

In 81... very early 20s late teens
Salvo you really need to see the Official videos as Def Leppard are as famous for their videos as well as their songs
You can't go wrong with this album. Any track. If they were to release a true "best of" album, they should just re-release this.
OMG--so glad to see this version. The synths remix is terrible. Like, you might as well have Carly Rae Jepson singing lead. 😁
This whole album is amazing! Definitely worth a listen. You Got Me Runnin or On Through the Night next!
You can do the lighter and the headbanging simultaneously to this, it's pretty doable. Why choose just one?
True that! Have the cake and eat it too

BTW, I would not have minded if you played the remixed one, too, and tried to find the differences; I think it would have been fun & interesting. Looking forward to more DL.
Rock of ages is in my opinion there best.
You’ve gotta do “Another Hit and Run” from that same album. One of my favorite DL songs!
the re-release was with phil Collen due to pete willis getting fired..
Makes me kinda sad to see the drummer before his accident 😞
By far the best version.....pete willis got the shaft🤨

Too bad they never did a “video” with the instrumental at the end
The original version is way better.
This is the original.
This one sounds awesome!!
Switch 626 is the extended end of this song. Please quit cutting songs
short, young brother
They should of left the first version alone. Adding Phil to the 2nd version is classless and sad. Phil turned the group and bubble gum pop.
Always a great band. I as in high school when this came out. You should do Pour some sugar on me!
Helluva song
