First Time Hearing Def Leppard 🎵 Animal Reaction 

Whatttt?! That’s so crazy, and he still plays after that

@@BradAndLex he had an American muscle car and had an accident, the seat belt released and took his arm off at the shoulder

He was driving a C4 Corvette in England. Left hand drive in a right hand drive country. Was trying to pass on a 2 lane road. I forget all the details, but there was a stone fence and a field involved. It was detailed in their VH1 biography.

Def Leppard truly are a brotherhood. They love each other through thick and thin. Their guitarist Vivian Campbell has battled Hodgkin's Lymphoma in recent years, and he still rocks out with the band.

The 80s Were a Time Still As Everyone Was There For Eachother. The 80s Had No BS Like Today. If You Belittled Our Country, Our Flag, Our People, Our Morale, You Just Simply Got Your Ass Kicked. There Was No In between... Talk Shit, Tou Got Called Out, You Made Yourself Look Like An Ass And You Still Got Your Ass Kicked. Not Many People Crossed Lines Back Then. We e Had Respect And Put Those in Check That Needed It !!! Good Times !!!

if this is the Zak Wylde you're a badass guitar player, i have enjoyed your music as well. if you are thanks for all your jams.

I loved the band, my favorite band of all time!

Yeah, it's all radio hits. That's why i prefer their first 2 records.

They need too check out Run Riot from the same album.

True story. Props to Rick Allen to relearn his craft using his feet. And props to the band mates who treasured friendship over profit because after the hugely successful Pyromania album was released instead of riding that wave and touring like crazy and/or going to studio right away to make another one, they waited four years of their prime earning years to wait for Rick to acclimate before releasing Hysteria (the album this song is on) which is now one of THE highest selling albums of all time - it turned Def Leppard from successful and popular to a global megastar band.

I once met Rick Allen. I found him to be rather disarming!

Great documovie that you should see.

Joe Elliott said that they were not gonna replace him. they were just gonna quit. Rick came up with the idea of the electronic drum set and they waited and let him learn it before they decide to continue on. Just adding a little more info to your statement.

@@timish71 thanks! I didn't know that part.

Facts. I was a teen when this LP came out, and I'm still playing it today.

@@j43k I play it today on cd how about you what format?

@@marksantucci4230 At home, the vinyl, every time. I still have the CD somewhere too!

@@j43k I play mine at the office on my walkman during lunch break.

I had it on vinyl, cassette tape, and CD!

Ha! Me too. I received this on cassette tape for a high school graduation present. Wore it out!

@@tammymartin7017 I had to make mix tapes so I wouldn't wear out all my favorite cassettes lol. I was so happy when CD's came out..no more repairs with a pencil and tape 🤣🤟

@@kellyhouse4263 this one and Enigma MCMXC a.D. were my staples!

@@tammymartin7017 My poor Metallica tapes, I had to start buying 2 at a time lol

@@kellyhouse4263 hahaha! Right?!? And White Zombie too!

Way more rock n roll than later albums

@@annaoswald5943 I mean I likes Pyromania, and Hystaria. Especially since that was the first album with Rick missing an arm and all. But they were more raw and edgy in the first two. "Hello America" is my favorite. To think Joe wrote that as a teenager working in a factory.

They missed it in a previous video reaction

"they are so trying to put a show on for the subscribers by rocking out".... nailed that!

@@spudrubble Which one? They have only done 2 from Def Leppard, and this was the first.

The God Of Thunder keeps the beat with one arm better than many drummers with both arms.

However, some people focus way too much on the video, so much that they don't listen to the song, that annoys me even more lol. Brad & Lex don't do that though :)

This is truth

Sooo true! Twice in last few years!! My first cassette tape in 83’

Right?! And they're gonna be in FL June 18-19, 2022 with Motley Crue and Poison. I think Brad & Lex need to go and experience the 80s live in person! Lex needs it to feed her soul.

Leppard*** not Leopard.

@@Danimal77 yep. Sorry. Auto correct got me.

They actually recorded the album while he was recovering. The drums were programmed by the producer Mutt Lange. That takes nothing away from the fact that Rick Allen is a beast. I saw them in 2006 and he plays better with one arm than some dudes with all 4 limbs.

@@fubar1217 Pyromania was big...and bang, this one is bigger with one arm drummer !!!

Really they didn't wait that long it was 3 years between records and he only cost them one year so they didn't have to wait long I've seen Pink Floyd and Boston take over 8 years to make a record LOL

They were still well-known, especially in the UK, before this album

The "hair metal" band that doesn't sound like hair metal.

Def Leppard isn’t a hair band. Hair bands were 80s Los Angeles. Def Leppard is from 70s England....they’re not spandex and day glow and neon. They’re ripped jeans and tshirts. Thin Lizzy/AC/DC/queen/Led Zeppelin

A proper Def Leppard album. High n Dry is always the correct answer when the question is Def Leppard.

Rock of ages is classic too. But that was probably on pyromania. Can’t go wrong regardless with DL

Best album by far high n dry is one of the best albums in history

YGMR is one of my favorites. Nice call. All Def Leppard is great because the band is great. H 'N D is awesome, but the snobbiness and need to reference "two arms drumming" is pretty stupid and fucking tacky on you. Why do you dudes need to be such douchebags? Toughness is earned, not threatened.

I personally think we overrate High and Dry album because of Rick Allen's accident and change of sound that followed a couple of albums later. but for me personally, Hysteria is their best musical album, and Pyromania is their definitive heavy metal/hard rock sound. High and Dry was a very good album, but lacked hit songs outside of Bringin on the hearbreak. It is just my opinion, so if you disagree, it is totally fine. but to me, what separates great artists from great technicians is the difference from say, Jimy Hendrix who was the best of his era as a gutiar player, he was also the best song writer for rock and roll and one of the more memorable singers of his time. Steve Vai and Joe Satriani are great guitarists, but what great songs have they written that an average music fan can recall? to me, High and Dry sounds great for metal heads and hard rock purists that appreciate the early 80s sound. but nobody today remembers Al Di Meola anymore for a reason. PS- Same goes for the Detroit madman, Ted Nugent. he continues to claim that he is one of the best virtuosos of alltime guitarists, but he was not considered one of the best in his own era. and outside of Cat Scratch Fever, he didn't have other top chart songs. his solos for his time, were fairly fast but it hardly ever strayed from his same scale and licks. but I still see people who bats for Ted. I don't get it as a guitar player myself, but whatever floats your boat, I guess.

Yeah, I wore out that album as well - there were only 2 songs on the whole thing that I thought were just ok, every other song was top notch.

@@andrewawakened628 Which ones were they, if you don't mind me asking?

@@the406seadonkey6 Gods of War was one of them, I'm not sure about the other

Ok, noober. lol

Couldnt have explained it better myself good job

They were amazing back then. High n' Dry is one of my all-time fave albums. Before they got lost in pop. A casualty of the MTV video generation.

High n' Dry is still the best album they ever made.

Can't forget " too late for love "

Not better .. just different based on the times

@@Retirerick Sorry, I misspoke "Much Better"

Great music never dies! To be honest, younger generations have had to turn back to older music purely because this quality doesn't exist any more.

I loved the 80s, i think all the best metal was the front half of the 80s than the back end.
