Nice reaction! The drummer is Rick Allen and he lost his left arm in a car accident in 1984. They were in between recording albums and he re-learned how to play the drums using an electronic kit. His left foot triggers the sounds his left arm would normally have made. This band has been together for 45 years and is out there touring stadiums in the US this summer. If you have time, check out some of their live performances. They sound just as good live : )
The band actually stopped touring after the drummer(Rick Allen)had an accident.. Waited for him to recover and adapt to playing drums in a different way..😎🤘.. That's Brotherhood!!!
Def Leppard may be the only band with a one armed drummer. The deserve all the props in the world for for giving him time to relearn how to drum after the accident. Almost any other band would have replaced him immediately.
I grew up with this band. From the first album until present day they are, dare I say, my second favorite of all time. From not giving up on Rick Allen when he lost his arm in a car wreck, to not giving up when Steve Clark died of alcohol poisoning, this band shows that it doesn’t matter what adversities life throws you, if you are strong enough and believe in those who believe in you, you can conquer just about anything. Let’s face it, this bands music WILL stand the length of human existence not only for their musical contribution, but also for showing the compassion towards each other through adversity. They are what everyone needs to learn as far as compassion and loyalty.
Rick Allen - The Drummer, Is also a painter too lol. For a ballad check out Hysteria or “When Love and Hate Collide” Awesome band that is still making music today!
Hi Loveth, Animal is from Def Leppard's 1986 album Hysteria, they formed in Sheffield, England, in 1977!! 😀 😀 Def Leppard are : Joe Elliott, on vocals Phil Collen on guitar Vivyan Campbell on bass guitar Steve Clarke on guitar Rick Allen on drums Drummer Rick Allen lost his left arm in a motorcycle accident back in 1984!! 😀 😀 Def Leppard are still going strong today in 2022, with all original band members, they also just released a brand new album called Diamond Star Halo!! 😀 😀 Lead singer Joe Elliott is now 62 years old 😀 😀
If you let me correct you... Vivian Campbell replaced Steve Clarke when he died in 1991 because of drugs and alcohol. And the Bass player has been always Rick Savage "Sav" for the members in the band.

It's more like a mellow type of rock. A chill vibe, if you will.
Stay on this Def Leppard journey. One of the greatest bands of all time. Over 40 years and still going strong today.
Buena reaccion. Les recomiendo "Hysteria" y "Pour sugar on me". Saludis desde Argentina chicos. Buena vida..!
I would suggest the official video of 'Armageddon it'. Absolute banger and rarely reacted to. Lots of great songs from these guys!
He has an extra foot to replace missing arm
Need some volume to the music...
