The first Def Leppard song I ever heard was Let It Go (when High n Dry came out). I can almost remember where I was, and what I was wearing. It is still the best Def Lepard song to me.

This band is a model of not letting tragedy stop them from being successful. They fired a guitar player, drummer lost his arm and another guitar player passed away but, they keep going.

Don't forget about Rick Savage being diagnosed with Bell's Palsy, Joe Elliott contracting the mumps twice, and Vivian Campbell having some condition, which I don't recall right off hand. I actually remembered in the Def Leppard episode of "VH1: Behind The Music," they'd interviewed original guitarist Pete Willis, and he'd said that he was initially angry about being ousted from the band, due his alcoholism and that it'd affected his ability to play guitar, over time, he'd realized how badly it had gotten and was grateful that they'd stepped in, otherwise, he'd probably ended up like Steve Clark

It's bittersweet to see Rick Allen in his younger days before the loss of his limb. You'll notice that be plays "traditional" grip just like Buddy Rich. That came from the military marching drummers who had to play with their drum at an awkward angle as they marched.

According to an interview with Joe Elliot, he had a huge hole in his bathroom wall and covered it with a poster of Maryln Monroe. He said he was musing about wanting someone that you only had a photograph of. So yes, she was an influence for the song in a sense.

I was about to say the same thing, I also heard him say that Jayne Mansfield was also a similar unattainable icon, who was also a famous actress/model who died young tragically in a car accident, she also could have been an inspiration for this song.

A huge banger from the early 80's. This album was played on the radio when I first started listening as a 13yr.-old.

"Rock of Ages" is all-world Def Leppard. They were really, really good at awesome catchy metal/rock. They were GOOD.

Try "Rock of Ages" off this album also

They were SOOOOOOO big. Everyone wanted the Union Jack clothing at the time. T-shirts, shorts (like the drummer), hats. If you want something a little heavier from them, check out High and Dry or Rock Rock ('Til You Drop).

Lets Get Rocked by Def Leppard! 😎🔥🤘🎸

Man in the day they were on fire, some of my favourite gigs were Def Leppard. The sound quality was on another level and the foxy ladies in the crowds made teenage boys dreams come true. The World was a happier place back then and it's only really now in the future we realise how good we had it.

This was one of my favorite albums. Had it on my top albums. This was before the drummer lost his arm in a car accident . Then he made a custom drum kit,and they kept him in the group. AWESOME story of how compassionate they are. Hello from Pa USA 🇺🇸 ❤❤❤❤

Def Leppard really started Stadium Rock.

Huge hit back in the day.

These guy's are true legends, I'm happy to finally see them inducted into the rock and roll hall of fame by none other than queen founder brian may, who they have performed with many times, and are great fans. They have crossed genres a bit over the years, and are very 70s influenced , mott the Hoople, t-rex, david bowie, on and on. They've been around since 1977, and have sold over 100 million records. On their 2022 album " diamond star halos " they even do a song with allison krauss, a famous blue grass singer who is a big def leppard fan. It's called "this guitar " not usually a blue grass fan, but it's fantastic, my 82 year old mother is a blue grass fan, and loves her music, i played it to her, she absolutely loved it. I said, "guess who's singing with her? " i finally told her it was def Leppard, she had told me back in 1981 that i was listening to pure filth, it was a pretty nasty song called " let it go" from high and dry. She took the album right off the turntable and never gave it back, it was fortunately for me that i also had the cassette in my car!

Cracking tune. Never gets old! One of the all time best rock/metal tracks of the 80s!

This was their breakout video. This was the first time we saw def leppard on video and it was awesome.

I first heard this song in the 80s when it was first released. I was an instant fan and still am years later.

My fave Def Lep.

i was 13 when Pyromania came out, and was Instantly hooked. such a great album. Too Late For Love , Foolin, Rock of Ages were my fav 3

🎉lets go back further High N Dry was their first album to hit in the U.S. Bringing on The Heartbreak& Rock Rock Til You Drop. Both albums were before their drummer had lost his arm. It changed their sound.

Let It Go,High & Dry,White Lightning,Billy's Got a Gun,Excited,Slang....All great DL songs

Saw them live, decades ago. The setup for the one-armed drummer was fascinating.

I still love Def Leppard music today, even though it is not as hard hitting as early on. But just look how young they look here. Makes me feel so much older.

12 year old me fell in love with Def Leppard when Pyromania dropped and I then went back to the earlier two albums. Great band. And as luck would have it, I was in the crowd in Denver on the Hysteria tour when they filmed the video for “Pour Some Sugar On Me.” One of the best concerts I ever saw.

Early Def Leppard is the best, primarily the first two albums.

Awesome song! ❤❤ Def Leppard is a great group from the 80’s!! Thanks guys!!👏👏👏

I was lucky enough to see this AWESOME band twice. Once in 85, then on 18th bday in 89. They are still AWESOME live!! And are a true ROCK CINDERELLA STORY! What can happen when you love the guys you play with. And Rick Allen is just a Super Hero. I think he rocked harder after accident!!

Let it go is a must!

Hey , When Rick Allen Has His Accident and Lost His Arm . He When Thru About A Year Of Depression And The Band Told Him That They Were Not Going to Get Anyone Else and Stood Beside Him ! So He Made Long Recovery and Leaning How To Play The Drums With One Arm! So That When There Drum Sound Turn To The Sound They Have Now

Such a good song. With all the musical translations & hooks going on it had to be a hit

Iconic group, iconic video. Love it! So much happened to me in the 80's. Started high school, ended high school, joined the Navy, went all over the Pacific, and got out of the Navy. Great times! Always awesome to see Rick Allen with his other arm again. This generation "metal" was a lot different than it is considered now. I think Steve, one of the guitar players has passed and Joe Elliott cannot get his voice that high anymore but what a great band.

Probably my favorite Leppard song. Pyromania was the soundtrack of my high school years.

Just FYI. I have a tbing for drummers& RICK Allen is a beast. The other members of Def Leop said the accident forced Rick to slow his playing!

THEY ARE A FABULOUS BAND IM GOING TO SEE THEM IN AUGUST FOR THE 3RD TIME LOL!!!!

I must have played this song over a thousand times back in 83.

This is an absolute banger!! The album Pyromania is an absolute Gem 💎 Rock of ages is their best song by far!!

ABSOLUTE BANGER! 🔥

“Too late for love” is my favorite.

Pyromania was probably Def Leppard's best album. It really fits the way rock was changing in the early 80's, kind of the forerunner of other groups like Bon Jovi, Poison and others in the mid to late 80's. As others have said its about wanting something you can't have and you only have a photograph. You could also say its about the danger of being famous and having over zealous fans that border on stalking. This is just after Dorthy Stratten's murder by her jealous husband, and near the time of Dommonique Dunn from the movie Poltergeist murder by a jealous boyfriend and not long before the murder of Rebecca Schafer from the show My Sister Sam. I know some are after the song came out, just using as a reference. Its open to interpretation as to which way it is. Great reaction!

Animal by Def Leppard! 😎🔥🤘🎸

Bringin on the heartbreak/switch 625 is a must listen from Def Leppard. But please listen to them together as they are intended to be listened to.

Mine as well! Great memories!

In 1983, this was a great concert to go to. I bought one of those British flag t shirts. Notice Rick Allen the drummer had 2 arms. He lost one in 1986 in an automobile roll over accident. From that album do Rock Till You Drop.

Not early enough Def Leppard. There are keyboards prominently in the mix, which pushes it softly in the direction of pussified pop music . High N Dry, that’s the album to listen to. THAT is their real rock n roll album. “Let It Go” is a banger.

Rick Allen on drums, before the car accident that lost his arm in 1985 at the age of 22. He joined the band at 15 in 1978. Steve Clark wrote most of their music, their rhythm guitarist. He lasted through Hysteria and wrote most of that one too but sadly passed from alcoholism.

The only way to hear this is at high volume on a quality car stereo. My favorite Def Leppard song.

This is my favorite Def Leppard song. “Pyromania” came out my freshman year in college so we listened to it nonstop. It’s a great album. “Rock of Ages” must be next!

My first concert 1983 was the Def.

Rock of Ages Bringing on the Heartbreak

Great song from a great album. There is no doubt in my mind that this is their signature song! Nothing beats it!

I've been a fan for decades and this also is my favorite. Great video for the time too.

This is the song that got me into rock. I was ten. This was my first album.

This decade Steve Clark was with the band ( the guy doing the guitar solo in the vid) and was a driving force of the heavier sound.. He died at 30 yrs old of an overdose. Also the drummer still had both arms here in the video and lost one not long after, hence today plays for the band with one arm.

My teenage moment...Timeless.!

Oh my..takes me right back!

Great song and reaction. Hysteria is my favorite of theirs,,,,💥💥💥🤘😎

This song is the beginning of the end for them as a rock band

How has someone not heard Def Leppard ....

Their anthem song from this album is Rock of Ages. Also, go even earlier with their High and Dry Album with " Let it go"

Here's one that not too many have requested from these guys: "Two Steps Behind." Completely different from their normal. Excellent song.

Def Leppard great band, Hysteria is a classic album and my favorite by them.

My 1st “grown” concert in the 80’s. My sist r took me and I’m still not sure why my mom let that happened. I was 15 and this was a lot with all the drinks my sister and her friends gave me in the back of a 1978 Thunderbird. It was amazing though.

I was a Duranie then, and even I had Pyromania!!! ❤

all time classic!

This was a song from before the drummer's car accident. The band gave him time to learn how to play drums with one arm. Cool!!!

By the way Def Leop, Pat Benatar ect saved MTV it almost went off the air after it started, also MJ was the first black artist featured paving the way for so many others.

a lot of the credit for Def Leppard's success is producer Mutt Lange. He is genius at crafting rock anthems.
