Def Leppard - Animal | REACTION

[@MrEric622]

The reason why the drummer is smiling is that he lost an arm in a car wreck, and his band waited and supported him. Those, are friends...

[@2000xlt]

Yep, he's amazing.

[@Tony_Regime]

they waited for a specially designed drum kit to be made for him. I got to see them at the Donington Monsters of Rock Festival on 1986. absolutely amazing show

[@fleshen]

Mates are mates and that was amazing of them boy's!

[@veritasrex66]

I've always had tremendous respect for these guys because of that. In a way, it makes their music that much better.

[@ChickyParm1972]

My favorite song off the awesome Hysteria album!! Thanks for your reaction!! The site “SongFacts” has the great details on the writing and producing of this song according to the band themselves.

[@stephendavidallen]

The drummer is Rick Allen. He is was in the top 7 drummers in the world, even with one arm. We bow to Rick! The was in late May 1987 just outside of Amsterdam in Holland. The band spent three days with a travelling Romanian circus.

[@terryduke6502]

The drummer is known as "The Thunder god" because he lost his arm and when he first played again the crowd drowned out the band.

[@LyonHall1]

the man is a legend and well respected across the music world. To lose your arm in a car accident and not be able to do te thing you love would stop most people no no not Rick Allen. This guy went ahead and retaught himself how to play drums with the use of both feet and a specialized drum set.

I was at that first gig, it was awesome. They had a back up drummer in case Rick got tired, They never needed him.

[@RCAnderson42]

That's the magic of this song... the first time you hear it, it sounds like you've known it forever, and every time after that is as magical as the first time you heard it.

[@slikkarl]

Fun fact: Their album Pyromania battled with Micheal Jackson's thriller for the top spot in 1983/84. Thriller won but it was a heck of a battle.

[@raytull3922]

Sammy Hagar's "Three Lock Box" came out around the same time as Pyromania too. I wore both of cassettes out, along with Krokus "Headhunter".

[@carlspackler91]

@ted ritola Def Leppard was formed in the 70s as well, and as far as comparing to the bands listed, I guess there's no accounting for taste.

Mutt Lange was the producer that helped Def Leppard take there music to the next level after their first two albums. I actually have a preference for those two albums, as they had a more raw sound to them. Mutt Lange was also married to Shania Twain and produced some of best albums.

[@kennethgrainger1112]

He also has writing or co-writing credits on the whole album of Pyromania and Hysteria. He produced Highway to Hell and Back in Black for AC/DC and Foreigner 4 for Foreigner.

But I've never been able to buy a full album from either of these bands after those two specific albums, from Def Leppard and Metallica, but yes to everything before those albums👊🤘

[@LRBerry]

I saw Def Leppard at Donington Monsters of Rock in 1986. When Joe Elliott introduced Rick Allen, the whole crowd just gave a huge, loud roaring cheer! It's a moment I will never forget. I remember reading an interview with the band when this single came out. They said they thought touring was hard work, but the people in the circus showed them what real hard work was.

[@chrismaverick9828]

One of the things I love about Def Leppard's sound is the power-through beat. Down an arm, Rick didn't give up on what he loved and became a pioneer of the hybrid/electric set and brought basics back into a drumming world of show-offs. Never discount a simple, resounding, powerful beat. Easy to listen to, sticks in the brain, and makes the body move.

It was Hysteria like it was said. The drummer is Rick Allen. He lost his arm in an auto accident. He teach himself to play with one arm and drum trigger foot pedals. He didn't want to get quit so this is what he came up with . It's an incredible accomplishment. Pyromania was the first "record" I ever bought. High n Dry is another great album . Hysteria is an amazing album. It was the first they did after Allen learned how to play again.

Jamel crank up the pyromania album

Used to 'try' and fall asleep with this album playing on my walkman every night as a kid when it came out. Still do the same sometimes these days. Ageless! Love these reactions, keep them coming!

Please react to one of my favorite songs : "waiting for a star to fall" from Boy meets Girl !!!

[@julieford8788]

I love that song! 💕

[@antoinettelopes]

Whenever I think of that song it reminds me of a Champions on Ice show that I went to. I think the whole cast skated to it. It's funny how songs have specific moments in time.

Hysteria is one of the ONLY albums to have every song a number 1 hit & Def Leppard was all about the music & not about their outfits or how they looked .

[@ToddlerTN]

Please react to Kenny Loggins "Who's Right, Who's Wrong" with Michael Jackson on background vocals! I promise you, it's a masterpiece!

[@IanT820]

Yesss glad you’re doing more Def Leppard! So many good songs!

[@antoinettelopes]

I don't know if you were planning on doing "Bringin' On the Heartbreak" but that's the rare song where the original, in this case by Def Leppard, and the cover, by Mariah Carey, are equally as good.

Part of that long period was waiting for Rick Allen to recover from his accident where he lost his left arm. He was determined to still play drums somehow and the rest of the band fully supported his effort never seeking a replacement. Allen eventually figured out how to set up the drum kit so he could compensate using his feet. He ended up playing/sounding nearly the same and most fans didn't notice any difference in style. This song and album (Hysteria) was a come back of sorts for Rick Allen and Def Leppard in general. Their fans apparently thought the album was worth the wait since it sold more than 20,000,000 copies and produced 7 hit singles. The dedication and band support of Allen demonstrated the love these guys felt for each other, which also helped their success.

I saw DL in 1984 (Yes I'm old) and saw them a couple years ago in Tampa. These guys 🎸 rock! They have more energy and sound just as good today as they did back then!

[@barbiemiller9359]

One of my favorite bands. I respect them even more for sticking together.
