*THEY'RE SO YOUNG!* 🎵 DEF LEPPARD "Bringin' On The Heartbreak" REACTION

[@annaoswald5943]

Loved that you both were feelin' it. Song is so friggin' good. Early Def Leppard sounds nearly as good today as it did 40 years ago. Never gets old.

[@dakotaslim]

It's interesting, there were dozens, maybe hundreds of cookie cutter bands at this time. But nobody sounded like Def Lep.

[@Bandit77TA]

Nearly as good? It's better if anything. Today's stuff is pure crap.

[@johntrickey4188]

The dynamic of Steve Clark and Pete Willis was awesome.

[@brendanmarr9048]

Yeah with the singers voice gone the whole band is totally different even if the rest of the band is the same. The best part of the band is the texture of his voice imo and he’s totally lost it

[@jhamilton1007]

I totally agree.

[@michaelhorner1170]

Early Def Leppard is their best stuff!

[@vaughnnewman8903]

Quintessential Def Leppard. Classic, iconic and legendary.

[@frankrizzo4460]

Yes old Def Leppard you guys definitely need to listen to more of them. They're such an unbelievable band live

[@dennisperin2989]

The original 5 is my wheelhouse, Loved little Pete Willis, that sound! They were a straight up guitar rock band out of England, somewhere they started worrying bout chics showing up ( or lack there of) to their shows, i personally stopped listening after High & Dry, no disrespect to Phil Collens, Vivian Campbell, (saw Vivian in his first job anyway. DIO) RIP Steamin Steve Clarke

[@paulg115ATX]

That wasn't the end of the song

[@ndboulton]

They're still touring too... Saw them Abt 3 yrs ago at the O2

Lex is like having a time machine. Watching her get into these great old songs for the first time sends me back to my youth, reacting the same way! Love ya, Lex!

[@ShellyShinju]

Yes! I love rediscovering these songs with her. A new set of ears for me.

This entire album. Not one bad thing about it. Been listening to it since the day it was released. Still the best album they ever did in my opinion. The end got you because on the album the transition to the next song is seamless.

Pyromania was really good too

[@judithrunyon186]

Wasn't that the transition to the amazing Steve Clark guitar piece?

Def Leppard has some of the best ballads in the business. "Love Bites", "Two Steps Behind", "Miss you in a heartbeat" and many others. As a band, they perfected the juxtaposition of having hard rocking anthems and beautiful ballads.

[@SillyGoose2024]

Hysteria

[@NZLatic]

I’m an old school Def Leppard fan but I have to admit that Love Bites is right up with he best of them

[@acehigh79]

Love and affection is one of my favorites

[@stevevar43]

That ending goes into the next song Switch 625, which is also awesome, as is the whole High 'N' Dry album.

[@billyoliver4000]

Always highly recommended to listen to both together 🤘

[@spydude38]

I'm pretty sure when Def Leppard started, there was nobody in the band that was older than 16yrs. The early years of Def Leppard are the harder rock version. High and Dry is one of their good ones.

[@sumonjamal1653]

They were 16 when the original band started rehearsing in 1977... tho they played their first gig in 1978. It was Joe Elliott (vocals), Rick Savage (bass), Pete Willis & Steve Clark (guitars) & Tony Kenning (drums) ... Kenning quit in '78 before their demo was recorded w/ drummer Frank Noon. Rick Allen (drums) was 15 when he joined in 1979 - his parents had to sign the record contract w/ him cos he was underage...😂

[@magusodonllout332]

@@sumonjamal1653 I remember seeing them in Denver in a small venue and Rick's parents were there touring with them.

To me, these were Def Leppard's best years. Just raw rock before they became more commercial. Thanks for the reaction. Love to see you guys doing the ballads.

[@davidvsr]

51 years young and still rockin to this song just like Lex...powerful stuff isn't it great job!

[@jamesharper3933]

On Through the Night (1980) and High and Dry (1981) were primers for what was to come in 1983. This was their first real big hit song. Then came Pyromania in 1983, one of the best hard rock albums of all time.

[@rticle15]

Couldn't agree more. Those three should be in every rock fan's collection. Pyromania was a masterful album.

[@markcoucke7211]

All great, although High and Dry was my rocking fave.

[@michaelrieser9928]

Finally some Def Leppard I listened to. On through the night etc. loved it but I was more of a Y and T and Sammy Hagar guy Born in in S.F. Local stuff.

[@billysmith6747]

That ending segways into another great song Switch 625....a nice instrumental

[@jonbenjisnomore7935]

They need to be played together to get the full effect.

[@lyleou]

Favorite def leppard song

[@mikewatts1533]

I grew up with Def Leopard and I've loved them since the beginning. But what really gets my respect is that they kept and worked with their drummer, who was young and dumb at the time and got into an accident and lost one of his arms. How many big time bands have an one armed drummer? Great Respect!!!

[@patrickgrimes9069]

The "interesting ending" was the beginning of 'Switch 625' that immediately follows Heartbreak, which is an excellent instrumental in itself.

[@Fakename70]

They ALMOST found out for themselves.

I love this song so freaking much! Def Leppard is my favorite 80’s band. I loved watching this reaction live.

Def Leppard was a staple back in the 80s. Huge, huge band back in the day. All over radio and MTV. Great band.

[@jalkabre5904]

Old Def Leppard is the best.... "Let it go" and " Mirror Mirror" are great songs.

[@deangoings]

I think this is their best song. period. That sound in the ending is the beginning of the next song on the album, it's a full instrumental called switch 625. You should check it out, it's kick ass. Infact the entire the entire album is kick ass. The album is called high n dry

[@garytrew2766]

I'm going to post this again. In 1980 I went to the Georgia Jam at Road Atlanta. Def Leppard was the opening band and they were all teenagers. Talk about a n awesome group, not long after their first album came out. The other bands that day were Scorpion, Pat Travers Band, Molly Hatchet,Ted Nugent, good thing it was outdoors for they were all loud, very loud, Power Rock man , 😃🥃🤪 🎸📢😵. Rock and Roll I was twenty one then and that's one day I can never forget. It was July fourth and the temperature was 105 degrees very hot 🥵, but never regretted it. The cost was $12.00, that seems like a lot back then , just a drop in a bucket now . Keep on rocking brothers and sisters ✌️ and 🤘 Brother Gary

[@mattw3190]

When they recorded the On Through the Night album the drummer was only 15 years old, I still remember high school going to their first concert promoting album on through the night and the big hit was( Rock Brigade) Damn you guys got to do Rock Brigade🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@JRcomments]

WASTED

[@centuryrox]

Too bad nobody ever reacts to the next song after this called "Switch 625", which is like a natural instrumental outro to this song. It rocks, and in my opinion, the 2 songs should always be played together.

[@jimmack6076]

Yes definitely my dude.

[@michaeld2e]

Totally agree!

[@revjim123]

Agreed, the first couple of notes played and I was psyched, then it cut off and I was sad

Well… that’s what the band thinks. Joe gets a vocal break, so may be the reason, but always played back to back on tour.

[@ritchmoore1442]

I saw them in concert way back in the day, but also so them a few years ago with my son. The highlight, we looked at each other hand high fived, was when they played this, and went right into "Switch 625". 😎

As a 7th grader in '82 I used to play this song on my cheap boombox and play my guitar (tennis racket) in front of my mom and dads full length mirror. I (along with my def leppard bandmates) was a rock god.
