DEF LEPPARD - "Let It Go" (Official Music Video) 

HELL FUCKN YES!!

61 is gold for this tune.

BEST BAND EVER AND I AM OLDER THAN YOU ❤🎉.

BOY FRIEND IS PART DEAF AND I GAVE HIM THE WORDS TO THE SONG AND HE WAKES ME UP.😂❤

Doing the same.

@@SWIFTY5150 I AGREE WITH YOU ON THAT.

Absolutely 🤟

It was all downhill from here. I actually like the debut better, so, to me, the decline started the year before.

Hysteria is a capital album, but it has all been a slide since said album.

EXACTLY

Absofuckinlutly.

Agreed, their best album. :On through the night album: was too raw, but a great album. The rest was "bubble gum" rock , but i did enjoy Pyromania.

Bought High n Dry in '81 when it came out. Already familiar with Def Leppard by then because a friend had All Through The Night and brought it to school one day, towards the end of my senior year. Got rid of all my LP's long ago, so it's great to be able to come here and hear all these songs again. 🤘👍

Hell yeah!!

Hell yea thank you, I got ppl that have their doubts but I will never have a doubt that high n Dry is their most awesome, best rock ever. Reminds me of better times to.🇺🇸🇬🇧🇺🇸🇬🇧🇺🇸🇬🇧🇺🇸🇬🇧partied a lot of times to this.

Could not agree more. Later they just got to poppy

Ain't that a shame, a song in the kiddie music world having the same title as one from Def Leppard's greatest era and what might be the baddest jam they ever wrote. Post Script; The song from the band Sum 41, In Too Deep, which is actually a good song which is surprising given that it's from an era long past the greatest era of music, in their official video for it right at about 1:34 if you freeze it it's the cover of this album, there's absolutely no way it's a coincidence, it has to be a nod to this album. Also, the album cover for this album, High n Dry, was done by an agency called Hipgnosis that did nothing but album covers starting in 1968, they did pretty much every one of Pink Floyd's album covers except for The Wall which of course was done by the art illustrator who conceptualized everything for the intended movie, they stopped doing album covers and disbanded not too long after this because of them feeling like they'd artistically run their course combined with the seismic shift in music at this point going from Rock to New Wave and it being something they just didn't feel like they connected with, if you look at the run of album covers they did High n Dry, which I think was their 2nd to last, was the last really great one they'd done. There's a fantastic documentary about Hipgnosis on Netflix called Squaring The Circle that I highly recommend, for years I've been telling younger people how they missed out on the golden age of album cover art, in 1983 when Compact Disc's started to become the dominant form of music packaging album covers went from giant surfaces that were perfect for art to these little surfaces that bands and the record companies weren't going to pay $100,000 for art work on, just look at the difference between High n Dry and Def Leppard's next album Pyromania, it looks like a cartoon compared to the cover of High n Dry, and during that golden age of album covers it was Hipgnosis that made what some consider to be the greatest album covers of all time with everyone else trying to keep up.

😂👍

😂😂😂 fuck that made me laugh the systems so fucked bro 😂

Me too.

😂

Agreed

Saw them with and without Willis,high an dry with Willis!!

@ftlshome1 THEY WERE NOT BUT YOUR ENTITLED TO YOUR OPINION AS I AM MINE . NO HARD FEELINGS BETWEEN US. COOL SINCE YOU DON'T KNOW ME MATE.

@ftlshome1 THEY WERE A FANTASTIC TEAM AND YOU SHOULD LEARN MORE ABOUT CLARK . NOW THAT CLARK HAS DIED YOU SHOULD KNOW HE CAME FROM A HARD FATHER WHO GAVE HIM THE ELECTRIC GUITAR HE WANTED ON CONDITION THAT HE TOOK LESSONS AND PRACTICED ALL THE TIME. EVEN WORKING WITH DEF LEPPARD HE KEPT HIS PROMISE TO HIS DAD TILL CLARK DIED. HIS GUITAR PLAYING WAS FANTASTIC AND HE IS MISSED BY MANY OF US BUT HE IS IN PAIN NO MORE AND IN HEAVEN MY FRIEND.

@@sharonthompson2637 They were at their best when it was Steve Clark and Pete Willis. And to think they replaced Pete for being drunk all the time, no knock against Steve, I just think they were a better rock band with those 2.

@@EllisRitter-ui6qu ELLIS I AGREE THAT STEVE AND PETE WERE AT THERE BEST. EVEN JOE ELLIOT ADMITTED IT AND SAID PETE DID NOT LIKE STEVE. IT'S TO BAD NOBODY GOT HELP FOR STEVES ANXIETY AND DEPRESSION. SO THAT STEVE WENT HOME AND TOOK SOME PILLS AND ALCOHOL RESULTING IN HIS DEATH JUST BEFORE MY BIRTHDAY. STEVE CLARK GLAD YOUR IN HEAVEN AND HAPPY NOW. GOD BLESS YOU STEVE CLARK ALWAYS.

ELLIS I AGREE WITH YOU IN SOME WAYS. Y THIS SONG IS A CLASSIC EXAMPLE AND MY FAVORITE SONG. 1 OF MANY THOUGH.

The best

I miss them both

Same remember recording it on cassette lol...1968 Baby...

@@michaellaskowski7933 1969 I'm 53 now

@pinkroses67 - exactly the same story! (born in 1967) This songs still rocks!!!

52 and was hooked when MTV played this and a couple others on regular rotation in 82/83. Ran right out and brought the cassette✌️😎👉💯

Haha. Same for me. First song from Def Leppard and I'm 55 too.

Hell Yeah!!!❤

Hell yeah

"Who's listening to this now!" The most played out, overused phrase to generate likes. Lame af, clown 🫵🤡🤣

Hell Yeah

Hell ya brother

RIP Steve✝

Giv it hell! Don't let it die!!😂🎉😢❤❤😮😅😊😢🎉😅😢😊

Still rockin hard & giving it hell! Long live southern rock!🎉😮😅😊❤❤❤😂😅!

Not underrated by their fans! 👍✌

Amen - cheers!!!

Agreed! And you can't explain it to them either, you just had to be there. Live music seven nights a week... No smartphone or social media, no staying home to watch other people have a good time on t.v., people lived their own lives. The 80s made the 60s look like the 50s.

55 here and I 100% agree!!!!!! The 80's were incredible.... I want to go back..

same age and gen - so true

Well, don't know if you all will see this; but, I have all of you beat, lol!!! Not your normal 65 year old.....still rockin'!!! Catch up with me if you can, lol!!! Have a great one.....

Yea i totally agree !! The 80s were the best times for music! I seen def leppard in concert in 1983 as a young teen and wow they were a great band then and still are .The 80s were a time where there was no political correctness, sjw 💩,no smart phones,no blm,antifa 💩 and everything wasnt racist. Kids today have no clue what they missed out on

Like a hard rock April Wine - good vocals and great guitars.

Tony Kenning was their 1st drum player, then Rick Allen. So your 90% right. Lol

Pete Willis > Phil Collen

Gottisanidiot... he always was. Fired because he drank too much? Lol, what a load BS. More like he was fired because he didn’t want to sell out like the rest of them did.

@@panzerlieb HE WAS FIRED BECAUSE HE WAS A VERY MEAN drunk. They all Drank A LOT but the difference is they werent wanting to fight everyone. If PETE would've been a cool guy when hammered he'd still be there. Even Pete admits he was mean.

@@panzerlieb youre one of them dudes.... lol... calm down guy

I hear ya!

you got my vote

And you're the person that can't adapt. You've probably been left behind in several capacities. I feel sorry for you.

best album plus pyromania...newer def lep sucked

jimmy shine that's right

You're a good mother❤❤❤

@@marissaazevedo5008 thank you, And I have a great son, Check out his band Treazon

I'd be so proud and I'm sure that you are.

and Steve Clark!

And he got inducted into the rock and roll Hall of Fame with them

LMAO 😆 Ya couldn't have said it better!

Yeah 👍

Great albums....First one is underrated.....u still gotta love it....

Yip! Lived it. Was 16 whe HND hit the street. Fuk kiss n van halen...

Hell yeah it was- punch you in the face with pure rock n fuckin roll 😎😎

"On Through the Night" kicks ass too!!!

Chris Osterhouse of course my lord!

Chris Osterhouse been a fan for 30 years still love em 🤘

Eddie The Head It's the truth. It's an overproduced piece of trash with a extremely dated synth drum sound and cheesy overlayered vocals. This band was one foot in the grave when they fired Pete Willis and Rick Allen's accident was the final nail in the coffin. You can't play electric drums with one arm in a rock band. That may be insensitive to say, but it's the truth.

@@martijnstuart95 I agree. And this record, from 1981, sounds way better than the synthetic sound of Hysteria.

Martijn Stuart then how were they still popular, and STILL perform to this DAY? Answer that. Rick was given a special drum set where his left foot would work like a left arm so when he pushed a pedal with his foot, it would do something the arm would've done

Agreed. The Adrenalize CD after he died was just too tame and toned down. Took the fun out of it. Retro Active was good, but nothing like this

This miss Mutt as well. 2 main songwriters.

They had 3 great albums. High n Dry, Pyromania and Hysteria. It's been 35 years and counting since they've approached any of the those 3. Steve Clark (RIP) and Mutt Lange out of the picture would be the reason for the drought. Tool would eat Leppard for lunch. And not have to really kick it into a high gear to do it.

Do not discount the contributions of Pete Willis, on guitar and songwriting, either!

RIP he was great 😢

SHOULD OF KEEP UR VET

I did the same in my Trans Am

It sounded pretty damn good in my '78 Chevy Camaro Rally Sport, Alpine stereo with Magnadyne EQ, and Pioneer speakers.

All sweet cars....53y/o here and I feel you big time man....😢

Word. I used to tear up and down I-73 in my '83 Corvette blasting it too. *hahahahha

@@f.frederickskitty2910 DEF LEPPARD ALSO DEFINED MY HIGH SCHOOL YEARS ALSO 81 TO 84 . NOTHING I LIKED MORE WHEN DOING HOMEWORK AND I EVEN TALKED SOME FRIENDS INTO DOING AIR BAND GIGS IN THE AUDITORIUM. DEF LEPPARD WILL ALWAYS ROCK ON.

No, after hysteria, if it wasn't for his attitude, pete would've been able to stay

@@Miist3rDuce1 that's too poppy!

got that right Phil killed the rock

Southern rockers are listening we like Def Leppard!❤🎉😅😊❤🎉❤!!!

Hard drinking and hard partying, 🍻😜 and whoring! that's what makes life worth living 💯💝💯💝💯❤😂🎉😮😅😊🎉

@@marcoflores9579 I LIKE DEF LEPPARD THE WAY IT IS AND JOE IS CUTE.

AMEN 👍🤘

@@The_Curmudgeonist My understanding he had short man syndrome when he drank sad to go out like that as he rocked.......

Every.damn.time!!!

This used to be the real Def Leppard . Pure hard rock !

werd

🎼Slow down hold on ! Fellow !!!

Truest fucking statement I’ve heard in a long time. Song kicks you right in the ASS!!

Get a Mark Levinson power amp...loud and good...LOL

amen to that lol

@Hanthrax Agreed...

Bringin' On The Heartbreak?

@@80steen44 Not all ballads are over produced pop songs.

@@RSLucky204 It's Mutt Lange, It's a power ballad and if they didn't do it in 81 they did it in 84 with the remix but I'm a Leppard fan btw

@@80steen44 Everything they did after High N Dry is over produced. They already had those songs ready to go when they fired Tom Allom and brought in Mutt. Luckily, he didn't ruin them like he did everything else.

@@RSLucky204 Oh yeah, because Pyromania is such trash lol it's one of the best of the decade, you're laughable

👍🏻 Steve Clark and Pete Willis made an AWESOME team! 👍🏻

Best team was Pete Willis and Steve Clark

@@charleskletter8974 - I couldn’t have agreed with you more!

In your opinion and most everyone's who knew who they were before Pyromania.

Yeah, they were always really good even when they became big. But, yeah, High and Dry all the way!

Yeah...YOU GET IT ROCKER! AND KEEP IT THAT WAY...🤘🖤🤘

@@paulgehrman O_o:‑X😭🤣😭🤣🤣🤣🦹‍♂️🤣🤣🥳

@@paulgehrman Nah hysteria sucks, no balls.

Agreed. Still have it on cassette.

Man.

Steve was so amazing, I really miss him.😩😢🎸😭

Agree!! Rock out !!

My favorite also! I’m trying to get the band I’m in to do this song.By far their best song

Me too, Karl

My favorite since I was 15....this album is so raw and gritty.

Also my favorite

Got mine on vinyl same age at Christmas as well. Still have the same record and still play it today.

@@danski9904 I got mine at Christmas also but i was 13!!Dont have the original anymore I wore it out playing THIS song over n over...ha!

I completely agree!

alesha S Nirvana happened, that's what happened. The early 90s was the start of the modern rock era and it's been essentially like that ever since.

*****​​ Trust me, I gave it a try. I listened to all of Nirvana's albums from start to finish back in 1993 when I was in high school. It sucked balls back then and it still sucks balls now. Def Leppard is still going strong today selling out arenas, but where is 90s grunge today? Dead in an urn and buried in the ground where it belongs. 70s & 80s rock n roll lasted much longer because it had the talent, the skill, the melody, and the charisma, which the 90s all lacked.

Steve Perry Go watch Billboard's video titled "Def Leppard's Joe Elliott slams 90s music". Joe Elliott hits the nail on the head in that video when he talks about 90's bands compared to 70's and 80's bands.

***** Yeah it does matter, it matters a lot.

So did I, I nearly had a breakdown 😭

It sucked his father was such and asshole

Yep 👍

@@kevinjohnson3907 his father killed him

steve clark and pete willis duo was the best

He still plays with 1 arm very hard Good luck keep rocking

RIGHT!!

Same thing happened in, 1980, when DL opened for, Pat Travers Band. Def Leppard blew Portland away! Ran out the next day and bought their first lp. Been hooked ever since

What happens next? 😅

@@juleenrustan3804he dyed itb

Even then, the bite was gone. No Clark or Willis

Back when Def Leppard didn’t “SUCK”!!

@@mikesalyers4914 Pete Willis was like the Keith Richards of this band. They were simply a hollow shell of what they could have been after they ran him off!! Almost all the best guitar licks on this album (their best by far) and Pyromania were written by him. They would have been NOTHING without the boost he gave them Screw the 'pretty boy' singer. Pete was the heart and soul of this outfit!

You never will

Willis was in my opinion the better guitarist wish that would have carried on.

Probably because the entire song is about getting head lol

Allan Nightingale For real? I had no idea. I thought it was about rocking. LOL I need to look up the lyrics.

so?..most rock songs are about sex or getting laid..play the damn song..if i hear photograph one more time I'll puke

agreed..most radio stations suck..play the same 50 songs day after day

I looked up the lyrics. I had no idea. LOL So what? They should play it anyways.

HAHAHAHA!! Funniest shit I have read in a while =) Thanks!! hahaha!

Disney's not much of a problem, Let it go James Bay comes out first when you search on RU-vid.

Josh Poirier then you say from the lyrics "stop your...bitching" lol.

I was 9 when this came out and still love it!!

Oh! That went over well, I am sure!

Era ? NO"-? BACeess, bs bababa _Ballall. . .

Turned 63 in June, bro. Loved Def Leppard, was a great time to be young my friend.

We're discovering it again, my man. I just wish I could have been there at the time.

Yeah, it's Def Leppard's masterpiece.

Facts

Class of '83, San Diego California here. Literally wore the grooves down of Pyromania I listened to it so much 😂 High N Dry almost as much

LIKE-F**KIN'-WISE!

When Pete Willis was gone they lost that hard rock edge ,then steve Clark died and they turned into a pop band😠😠😠😠😠😠

@@daniellinder8917 Agree

@@daniellinder8917 That is an interesting opinion. While earlier leppard had a more metallic edge The melodic structure was always there and a natural evolution. The idea that Leppard would have somehow kept the metal sound Given speculation that Pete had somehow remained is just Wishful thinking and doesn't stand up to scrutiny given the fact that one of the few bands that actually pursued a metal direction at the time Thin Lizzy with "thunder and lightning " are on record as telling Lepparrd that they couldn't compete with Pyromania and Lynott admitted it was a factor in folding the band. A little unfairly I thought as hard drug use was obviously a factor as well but the point remains pertinent.

@@daniellinder8917 I love that real drum sound on their 1st 2 records.

And then they fired Willis...

Back up vocals, were just as strong. 👍💯💯💯💯Such a great sound!

Agreed, he was in a class by himself.

I totally agree, noticing that his voice changed as he got older. I don’t think he was able to screech as loud either but still sounded good and he’s so cute.

Heard Def Leppard in the 80's this southern rocker is still lessoning to Def Leppard ❤😂🎉😮😮😊❤❤❤❤❤

True. That's why Willis has credit on Pyromania. The boys are real. Mutt helped sure.

To your point -- back when the boys came to Seattle behind this LP the radio promo was basically "..and they're all under 21." I enjoy hearing Joe Elliott on satellite radio, I respect their choices on their album of covers (especially Roxy's "Street Life") but no question their first two albums are all one really needs.

Yes . best album. hands down

It's such high rock energy from song one to the end. It's really an awesome rock album.

100 percent

@Eddie The Head But it's the only opinion that matters

On a high end car stereo cassette deck like a kenwood or nakamichi with a carver or any decent amp from that era. You can always find them on ebay.

I know im use to his feet doing 95% of the beats, watching rick play drums now is just uncanny but soo kool to watch

Rock solid

He'd be a good drummer with no arms.

Well if pyromania didn't sell like it did...rick wouldn't of had the monies to develop the shark pedal system along with the pilot and the flying system in which help out in designing the electronics from ground up. The cost of all the RAD would have been too much. Rick most certainly would of been out of the band...THAT DIDN'T HAPPEN THOUGH. So all turn out well.

@@sarasarah1810 Well, I recall pretty clearly the band said they'd wait for him too.
