Lol...Brad, you should know by now that Lex is almost always right about whether a song is from the 80's - she's got the 80's in her blood at this point!
Def Leppard made two incredible albums in a row. Pyromania and Hysteria, perfect in different ways. If you enjoy 80s rock those are two you absolutely want to grab.
@@ZantZinner pretty sure it was only slippery when wet that actually sold over 10 million copies in the 80s. It took their other big album of the 80s many years before it sold 10 million units.
This song hit me hard. Roller skating days. Omg. So many slow skates with girls. Also memories of old flames. Kinda hurts a little. Even at 49 years old. Lol 😆
@@ceetruth7419 I just got some ridels myself with a powertrax plate. I haven't been skating for a bit. Need to get back on em. I'm 49 now. I'm a little bit slower now
@@OverboardDM I want the power track plate the red one, I have Riedell 595s with redline fan jets but just have a sure grip rock plate but made it sick with some stickers, I want a new plate but don’t want to drill new holes in my boot! Most places have adult skate night, don’t know what city your in but you need to hit the rink 🙏🏽💪🏾🌊
This song always puts me in such a peaceful state of mind. I’ll never be able to explain why, but it makes me feel safe and comforted. Something in the guitar riff maybe. And the harmonies.
80,s and no auto-tune, their sound is due to overlapping. Producer Mutt Lange is a genius, he produced AC/DC Back in Black first album after Bon died. The Hysteria album was the first album after Rick Allen lost his left arm,
That may all be true, yet I must wonder if the songs might not have been just as good with a much simpler production. From my understanding, these recording sessions were brutal, repetitive, boring, tedious, and dragged on and on. Does it really take a week to tweek a snare sound to make a great record? Maybe cocaine had something to do with producers wanting to produce everything to the utmost degree. I have little doubt Def Leppard would have been awesome even if they had been recorded like the Beatles or The White Stripes or Prince - quick and dirty and it's done.
@@joehynes5452 I agree 100%! I think when they kick off the tour for Hysteria it was 4 years from the last time they toured. I seen them on this tour and we went CRAZY when they all came out and than we all started to chant RICK ALLEN!!!
@@LordEriolTolkien I still have my album and play it from start to finish occasionally. Such an appreciation for bands I can listen to their entire album and not be disappointed. Beauty is in the ear of the beholder.
@UCCsb6mqvNuR7JtMykYSCz2Q Agree! Hysteria was the 100% shift to pop rock. Easy on the ears, but lacks their hard rock roots. IMO High n' Dry and Pyromania are Lep's best albums. On Through The Night is a close 3rd.
Def Leppard never had to shock you into remembering them...never had to scream to get your attention...never had to do something outrageous or over to the top to get their names in lights. The 80's were a blessing for those who were lucky enough to experience it. X
I listened to this album nonstop in our cars cruising the backroads of our town! Rock of Ages is my favorite song of theirs. I think you guys will love it! Oh I graduated in 1983. Definitely the 80's. Please react to Rock of Ages!!❤
Back in the day I would lie in bed at night and listen to this on my Sony Walkman and the repetitive guitar licks would just swim around in my head and I loved it.
Lex is correct about 80's and moving into digitized recording that dominates pop music today. This was really polished pop/rock for back then as well. I prefer their albums High 'n' Dry, and Pyromania.
Agree completely!! High 'n' Dry and Pyromania are their two best albums that show Lep's foundation of hard rock and great riffs, vocals that are not overproduced from Hysteria and forward.
@@rrwdhw people sleep on High n Dry and On Through the Night. I prefer them over Hysteria but you can't go wrong on any of their first four US released albums.
@@judithrunyon186 I agree. My top three are the first three. Hysteria is ok, just a little too poppy for me. But I respect the phenomenal sales and the new audience they reached with Hysteria.
You nailed it !! High N Dry and Pyromania were the best 2 albums…..Hysteria was good in that it was filled with lots of hits but didn’t rock like the other 2 did !,
Def Leppard's High "N" Dry album is their heaviest rock album to explore before going to a more commercial style. You'll love songs like Let It Go, Lady Strange, Another Hit and Run, High n Dry (Title Track), No, No, No (yes it's a song). This album is 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Lex is always on point with the time era of songs. And has such a good feel for music. Brad's analysis of the lyrics makes for a great combo. Love you guys! ❤
Groundbreaking and gamechanging tunes from late 80’s. We need to appreciate both Def Leppard worlds, the rough analog as the clean digital. Great band!
Was lucky enough to see them twice on the Hysteria tour - first time Reynolds Coliseum in Raleigh NC was an intimate concert. Later that autumn, they came to Chapel Hill to the Dean Smith Center. That concert was more raucous, but both were absolutely terrific!
I saw the Hysteria Tour when I was in the Air Force stationed in Alaska. My roommate and I took a couple of days leave to go down to Anchorage to see them. Best concert ever!!!!! I've always been a huge Def Leppard fan. Been listening to them since they first came out. I'm 57 now, and I still listen to them. My fav band to jam on the guitar with.
I'm 29 now but I remember growing up and I was in HS from 2010-2014 and I stayed blasting 70s-90s before school would start and this song was on constant repeat !!!
I absolutely love the way y’all do your reactions. First, you don’t talk over the vids. You pause, make a comment, rewind a little and continue the vid. THAT’S how it’s supposed to be done. Plus, you introduce the vid and get right into it. Another major plus. Brad is very low key and analytical, where Lex is more free spirited and flows with the vibe. You compliment each other well. Favorite reaction channel. Others could learn a thing or two from you. Much love from Texas.
Probably my all time favorite band. I'm a 80's kid, grew up on mtv when it was brand new. Def just hit me differently. Deeper. I'm 49 and it still hits me there.
This is one of their most melodic beautiful songs. Sadly you've only ever heard stuff off their lightest album "Hysteria" from 1987. My fav song on that album is the opening track "WOMEN" which has an awesome 'lit' sound that Lex was asking about. That said: Their earlier albums are more edgy sounding, and older harder rock vibe. Most of my fav songs come from those albums. Harder badass songs to check out: Mirror Mirror Bringing on the HeartAche Rock of Ages Coming Under Fire Too Late For Love Foolin' Another Hit & Run Lady Strange Let it Go
Spot on!! I recommend to my friends who are listening to Def Lep for the first time to start with the High n Dry and Pyromania albums and go forward from there. On Through The night album is good too for a few tracks. I believe listening in this order helps the listener understand the progression from hard rock band to pop commercial band better.
Hell ya its the 80's, the BEST! This song and album came out summer of '87, my sophomore year in high school! We wore this cassette out driving around in my '77 Camaro! Lol...
Def Leppard is an awesome band. I was lucky enough to see them in concert when I was younger. To see Rick Allen play the drums with one arm was truly amazing.
Drummer has one arm. Lost it in car crash. Should have heard the crowd when he came back to play drums for the first time after losing his arm. They lost it. Should listen to him with 2 . "Let it Go" comes to mind. Great tune.
my favorite band. they are tattooed on my back with the British flag. since i heard "Rock of Ages" when I was 15 in 1983. i was hooked. seen them live 6 times.. amazing!!!
This song represents so much to me and my husband! Weve been to their concert on 2018, my husband gift to us and OMG it was perfect!! Were sepadated rn due to all this craxiness, but I cant wait to get closer to my husband!! Also, when Joe sung Hysteria, he mended with "Heroes" by David Bowie, you should check it out too!!
Love Def Leppard ❤️🙌🏻 I’m an 80’s baby and that is so my jam. Photograph has got to be one of my all time fav songs. Love what y’all are doing!! Keep up the great work!!
At very loud volume the natural overlapping harmonics in this song will put your heart into a natural high. You will resonate. It's a secret weapon to creating a hit. You can't resist.
Lex is usually right on with her feelings about different bands and the emotions that different genres bring out. And I’ve been listening to all of these since they came out (60’s to the present). Very perceptive ...
Little late to the party, I remember when and where I was when I heard Def Leppard. Was on vacation over a 1000 miles from home in Moorcroft Wyoming summer between 6th and 7th grade.
This was me and my high school girlfriends song! Takes me right back to it. Love this tune and Def Leppard! So many great hits. This was the 80s fo sho.
It took me a long time to accept Def Leppard as heavy metal when Pyromania came out. Photograph was the first single and it was played on rock stations but Bringing On The Heartache is hard rock and I’m good with them as a rock or hard rock band but metal is another level. I saw them on Pyromania and Hysteria and they put on a great show. Love Bites from Hysteria is a great song!
I never understood everyone's obsession with this song...not one of my faves, but it's cool for vibin'. Mutt Lange was so instrumental in their sound...actually Mutt has his own sound that you can hear through the different artists he's produced. Let's dig in to older songs! Like Photograph, Rock Of Ages, Billy's Got A Gun, Bringin' On The Heartbreak, Rock Rock Til You Drop, Stage Fright.
In 1983, Def Leppard did to radio what Nirvana did in 1991. DL opened up for Billy Squire when their “Pyromania” album was released and totally overthrew the tour. Def Leppard is the OG of the “Rock Ballad”, and started the “Big Hair Band” genre.
Lol...Brad, you should know by now that Lex is almost always right about whether a song is from the 80's - she's got the 80's in her blood at this point!
It's not a huge stretch, music from the 80s just sounds different.
💯🤣🤣🤣
#truth 1987 right here.
I graduated high school in '88
The 80s were friggin awesome!
Still very weird that they don’t do any basic research on a song before reacting
@@CoboProdz makes it more fresh and interactions w fans
One of my favorite Def Leppard Songs. I am only 21yr and I swear, all the good music is from the 1980's.
You missed out. It was a magical decade. All night listening to the rock station on the radio with a big pair of headphones.
Def Leppard always manages to make you feel "Free" even if just for a little bit
Very Well put!! 😁
Used to listen DEF LEPPARD a whole lot back in high school days.. Nostalgia kicks in listening to this one.
Yeah, remember when they were like, every 4th song on the radio! Those were the days! 😁🤟🤙
I never even lived in the 80s and I feel nostalgic listening to this song it just gives good vibes and how life used to be so much better
Def Leppard made two incredible albums in a row. Pyromania and Hysteria, perfect in different ways. If you enjoy 80s rock those are two you absolutely want to grab.
Incredible albums you’ve definitely stretched that they made mtv albums,
Stage fright is one of my favorites.
The first two albums were the best
@@noone8418 I love Stage fright but everything else is just crappy 🤷🏻♂️
OMG no, no, no
Next to Michael Jackson, def leppard was the only other 80s act to have had two consecutive selling ten million+ albums that decade. Extraordinary.
Madonna did with Like a Virgin + True Blue
Bon Jovi too
@@ZantZinner pretty sure it was only slippery when wet that actually sold over 10 million copies in the 80s.
It took their other big album of the 80s many years before it sold 10 million units.
But yet many people have no clue who they are
If you saw the rock umentary, producer + writer Mutt Lange used Thriller as a guide for the album Hysteria. Joe Elliott confirms that in an interview.
Def Lepard was at least in the background of every young persons 80's life, and in the front for many too!!! 😉❤✌🏼
This song hit me hard. Roller skating days. Omg. So many slow skates with girls. Also memories of old flames. Kinda hurts a little. Even at 49 years old. Lol 😆
Wow!!!! Ok skating rink!! Couples and backwards skaters only….. lol
Riedell 595s, laser plates, redline fan jets .... I’m still hitting the rink just like that! 💪🏾

Def Leppard - Rock of Ages, Rocket, Gods of War, Run Riot, Foolin', Rock Rock (Til You Drop), Die Hard the Hunter
I was going to say this is one for the ages
Such a great tune all Def Leppard songs are great you should give Rocket or Photograph a listen next. R.I.P Steve Clark (Guitarist)
Photograph
Photograph
This song always puts me in such a peaceful state of mind. I’ll never be able to explain why, but it makes me feel safe and comforted. Something in the guitar riff maybe. And the harmonies.
Musical Xanax
Dude I have the same feeling I tried to explain it to my brother and he aggreed the intro riff gives such a feeling of peace
Leppard and Journey will always be two of the most precise and clean sounds of rock... can listen to their Best Of albums on repeat all day.
Journey man Jesus both bands had such good somgs
Played this whole album on repeat when it was released..still have this in my CD case in the car🤟
I may still have the tape!
That's a keeper 💯
80,s and no auto-tune, their sound is due to overlapping. Producer Mutt Lange is a genius, he produced AC/DC Back in Black first album after Bon died. The Hysteria album was the first album after Rick Allen lost his left arm,

Same year I graduated! They were the first concert I went to see, awesome sound on stage!
Graduated in ‘83 as well. Great times that will never be recreated.
Your making me feel old, 1981 here. High and Dry would make a great reaction video!!

Pete Willis.
Good advice. Let It Go is my favorite Def Leppard song. Lot of younger rock fans aren't familiar with the album.
I’d also throw in “Rock Brigade” from their first album, but High “N” Dry is definitely their masterpiece. It’s one of my favorite albums to this day.
@@steveschmidt9792 Yes, Rock Brigade is my favorite track from OTTN album too!! Can't beat High n Dry album though.
“Lady Strange” is the frickin JAM !…..perfect hard rock song
Please do more Def Leppard! Another good reaction!
80's hair metal!! the best decade and one of the best types of genre's. 🤘🔥🤘
Def Leppard Bringing On The Heartbreak/Switch 625 is a must listen. Two songs that flow into each other on the album meant to be listened to as one. 🤘
The production of this album has always fascinated me. Nothing sounded like this, the soundscape, at least at the time.
Lex is always on point with the time era of songs. And has such a good feel for music. Brad's analysis of the lyrics makes for a great combo.
Love you guys! ❤
Groundbreaking and gamechanging tunes from late 80’s. We need to appreciate both Def Leppard worlds, the rough analog as the clean digital. Great band!
This song, no matter what I’m going through, will always pick me up and remind me of the good times in high school.
This brings back such beautiful memories.👌

Favorite part of these videos is watching lex be in the moment. Makes me smile every time
Just binge watched you all for longer than I will admit

My all time favorite 80’s love ballad! Very soothing riff and melody. I never get tired of hearing it. Still sounds fresh to me. Sigh 😌
I really enjoy watching y’all try to reason out the date of creation by the instruments, production, and video. Thanks!
This song did come out in the 80s, I remember my sister blasting it so loudly whenever it came on the radio
No auto-tune here. Great guitar parts and harmonies.
Def Leppard is the OG ! Classic rock will always be in vogue ! 🤟🏽
Listening to Def Leppard. And the drummer without without one arm. Truly amazing
My favorite Def Leppard song is "Love Bites". I was actually able to see them live back in 2015 they opened for KISS. It was amazing to watch.
1st rock concert I ever attended was Def Leppard’s HYSTERIA tour.. been listening ever since
when they released their first album ,on thru the night, oldest 1 in band was 17......
This song brings me right back to the 14 year old me, in the mid to late 80s. The 80s were by far the best generation ever!
Hey LEX, I truly appreciate your reactions to this band in particular, I love that you are genuinely enjoying the moment and the details. 💜
Great reaction thank you this is one of my favorite and most nostalgic songs to listen to

"Let's get rocked" is a fun one I think you will enjoy
And that one is from the album Adrenalize, which was a little bit later in the discography. '91 - '92, I think... :)
One of the best songs ever to be put on record
One of my favorite songs of the 80's. Thank you.
Def Leppard's hysteria album was released in 1986. The Same album with Pour Some Sugar On Me
my favorite band. they are tattooed on my back with the British flag. since i heard "Rock of Ages" when I was 15 in 1983. i was hooked. seen them live 6 times.. amazing!!!
Lex is really vibing to this, its good to see you both enjoying this 70s 80s era of rock.
When I was little my mom would jam this album in her car.
Dude!! My mom watched kids out of the house so she kept the tv on MTV all day lol
Need to do Photograph and Foolin' next.
Def Leppard never disappoints. You were going to have to try skid row, I’ll remember you,
One of my absolutely favorite ballads EVER. I was there in the 80s. What an AWESOME time. It was truly a MEGA RAD time to be ALIVE.
Some of the old stuff off High and Dry were great.

TRUST ME ON THIS ABSOLUTE CLASSIC,, FLEETWOOD MAC "HYPNOTIZED"..A MUST HEAR.
I love that Rick Allen learned to play drums with his one arm and feet. Amazing!!!!
One of my all time favorites! Simple but nice, no frills or smokin guitar solos. Just simple yet crisp rock music.
its a beautiful song. gives me shivers
I love the 80s music it's Raw. No auto tune just pure voice.
Listening to this makes you think of a time in America where we were sure of ourselves and life was good.
At very loud volume the natural overlapping harmonics in this song will put your heart into a natural high. You will resonate. It's a secret weapon to creating a hit. You can't resist.

Def Leppard is one in a Million of groups that you can just Close Your Eyes an Just Dream!! 😁👍😁 The 80's were Magical!! 💜 Upbeat song "EXICTABLE"
It's Def Leppard. What more can I say. Amazing and yes 80's
Definitely need to explore some more Def! Maybe Photograph, Love Bites, Animal? The whole album Hysteria is on point! Cheers.
