Def Leppard Armageddon It live 1987 pro shot TV

[@ipeniemela]

Rick Allen looks so happy playing the drums. Imagine going through losing an arm and having to re-earn to play the drums using only three limbs. This man is a legend.

[@pisces3786]

Blows Tommy Lee, etc away!!!

[@backtrack4383]

Yes he is! Truly inspirational! My husband is fantastic at drums and I asked him if he could do that if he lost an arm, and he said I doubt it...

[@denisebrashears1552]

It takes talent and he definitely had it, still has it! This is some good footage by the way.

[@Kamila_Alaiah]

That's why he is known as THE THUNDER GOD

[@MrStrongbox]

Rick Allen is one of four reasons I play drums. Rick Allen (introduced me to bad ass rock music), Lars Ulrich (as a ten year old kid listening to One for the first time, I wondered if a better song was ever written), Dave Grohl (Teen Spirit was my first song learnt on the drums. He showed me how to use the hi hat accent) and Dave Lombardo (he pushed me to be better and it worked) in that order.

[@brisbackvideos]

I think a law needs to be passed so that every single piece of footage that exists of Steve Clark is published immediately.

[@williambroadstreet3353]

Criminally there is NOT a lot of video, especially interviews. There is a lot more of Elliot and the other band members. You have to remember "The Riffmaster" was an extremely shy, reserved bloke. His Father's abuse left Steve with deep demons, all he ever wanted to do sadly was please his Dad, who was a POS. The one person who arguably is responsible for taking 'the' most pictures of Steve, photo shoots and live was the great Ross Halfin. Halfin picked Steve very very early as someone seriously special, a killer classically trained guitarist but who was the bands genius as Steve penned and created the music at 90%. Halfin has thousands of pics. That Ross got these shows that Steve really trusted Halfin. The video that does exist is from their early Lyon and Germany gigs, US first tour with Pete Willis, their second tour with 'Pyro', and the third tour for 'Hysteria', 'in the round in your face'. Sadly 'Download' was only taped but from about a mile off, it is impossible to see Steve up close, but it does exist, someone uploaded it, but the European gigs are not posted, there's a Japanese TV song but to backing tracks I think it is from Koln Germany, bits of bobs and ends, Then you have San Remo which was Steve's last performance with the band and it was a overdub song, not live. If you dig and dig you'll find an enormous treasure trove of Steve. There was a website called "In Loving Memory of Steve Clark" which no longer exists, it had EVERYTHING you ever wanted on Steve, his rig from 78 to when he passed.

[@michaelcorcoran8768]

Curious what country it would pass in! The United States or the UK

[@michaelcorcoran8768]

@@williambroadstreet3353 yeah I would love to hear more footage of him playing non leppard stuff. He was classically trained

[@ilovesteveclark6084]

Crying my eyes out looking at Steve.....he is still missed as much today as he was the day he died. That really shows how much he is loved.

[@lindabergman3127]

He was fabulous 😭😭😭😭

[@rooh5825]

he was a tremendous guitarist, very underrated.

[@andrewbeck9504]

I believe they lost their edge after he passed, and they've only recently managed to regain some of it but without Steve they arent the same band they were... He was a great artist and a good mate of theirs :(

[@shanedangers]

Amen ❤! He is jamming in heaven because God loves headbangers!!

[@williambroadstreet3353]

"c'mon Steve get it"..................and the "Riffmaster" riffs heavy. Gold.

[@hippydippy]

Way Cool hearing a stripped down version without all the processed studio vocals & effects. Really shows how good of a raw band there were at their core which makes them even greater imho. Respect.

[@TheCocina15]

hippydippy AGREED

[@rooh5825]

And don't forget, this was probably one of the first times they ever TRULY played this live, as in, no cuts, one take, it takes time to get a song entirely down playing live, till it is polished and smooth.

[@rooh5825]

@Red Dogg - Rebel4Truth You obviously know next to nothing about the time frame for the album recording, release, and concerts. Maybe do some studying next time, because you are wrong.

[@marjim8465]

This is so cool. I feel like I'm watching them in my garage, lol.

[@HighlanderNorth1]

🤘😃👍No dude, this was filmed in MY garage! If you look really close in the corner there, you can see my car jack, jack stands, my leaf rake, shovel and a bag of ice melting rock salt there. The day b4, I had spilled some antifreeze in the center of the floor, where the drum kit sits, so I had to spread some granular oil dry, which you can also see if you look even closer @ 0:18.... 😉

[@mitchhamann294]

Holy shit this is just flat out outstanding! I've watched this over and over... amazing.

[@brahardianto2000-y1g]

No Ego in their band, that's why the band is still go on until now...viva rick allen

[@TravelingRose]

@Leaving Nadir it is Bell's Palsy not Cerebral Palsy.

[@RockBrigadeCommunityForum]

@Leaving Nadir not the same

[@charliehustle1540]

Bayu Rahardianto selfless pros and perfectionists and still very good friends . You can tell there is a true brotherhood there !

[@Wolfsky9]

Sir-----you hit it right; this is the rarest of successful bands, in that ego has NOT been an issue . That's why they are still together today.-------------------WolfSky9

[@baldrick6071]

100% spot on Bayu! Their humility comes through to this day and more so!!

[@dandross]

Best version of this song I've heard live so far.

[@shimmon11]

This is one of the coolest clips of DF I have ever seen. Steve Clark is great, so sad he couldn't get himself together. I think we missed a lot of geat song like this one since he died. DL were never the same after his death

[@Sexton_blake93]

YES! Def Lepp without their usual studio polish! Been looking for something like this for a while!

[@OnfloorAudio]

Also remember that Rick's accident was in 84 , so this is only approx 3 years later , and he's killing it on the drums here !!! A testament to him and the band for sticking together etc . Thats why these guys are Rock Royalty , and deservedly so ...

[@bryanolivo8093]

Steve is the man! Love his lil solo.

[@davidjacobs8744]

Yeah

[@jackmehoff5610]

So awesome to see Def Leppard like this

[@michaelk432]

Their live sound is amazing. A band that truly out performs their studio sound. I knew songs by them growing up but seeing them live changed my life. Nothing but sheer drive, passion and tremendous talent. RIP Mr. Clark. Wish I coulda saw you live.

[@patrashdigger]

The Cars live vocals always sounded better than studio recordings

[@rawkinj6609]

Sounds amazing! R.I.P. Steve Clark!! :( He was so cool, his riffs , Timeless!!

[@michaelcorcoran8768]

Honestly I would love to hear the whole hysteria album played in this kind of bare-bones format. You could actually hear all the guitars

[@megastation842]

the 80's rock is my real life 1,402%. i couldn't ask for a better hysteria life :-) .

[@voidabstraction]

There is no KZbin or internet in 80's rock.

[@letsrockout100]

[@VaporwaveLover2000]

Steve is hotter and what do you mean they sound better now? Dude Steve died and you gonna say they sound better with dumbass fucking viv? Fuck you!

[@ClarkOVision]

Clarkie is Legendary! The man was truly cool! Thanks!

[@guilhermeestevez5411]

I love u steve

[@MeDecade]

Def Leppard has never had a guitarist who wasn't a complete master of their craft. You couldn't ask for a better band. You couldn't demand one.

[@corbett1970]

This sounds so raw, I love it!

[@Bram25]

Everytime I hear someone say they cannot do something I tell them about Rick Allen from Def Leppard. He is the living example of "anything is possible if you want it!"

[@Трахтибидох-ш5и]

Rick was lucky to have such real friends! Who bought him electronic drums (they were very expensive then) and did not throw him out of the band!

[@paulboyd3357]

❤️Def leppard this song is awesome 🇬🇧🎶🎸thanx 4this 👀🥴💯🤘🤘

Steve needs to be shown more... RIP STEVE CLARK

[@sciense3078]

yep there is a lot of stuff he played his own way that other guitar players wont do because they do not have the imagination he had. as a player, i crave video of his guitar playing style. there is so much there which is pure magic!

[@goldenstone7094]

That's a kick-ass Firebird Steve is playing.

[@leebaron3230]

If I remember correctly that guitar has been missing since he passed away. His girlfriend at the time Janie Dean either sold them off or had someone sell them off.... She was a piece of shit heroin addict!

Awesome! I miss Steve so much. Love Viv, but damn I miss these days.

This is the only clip I have of them in this setting. I believe it was recorded in their studio in Holland prior to the Hysteria tour starting.

[@letsrockout100]

[@johnharvey1252]

Much respect to this band for keeping their drummer and brother after the accident. A man who overcame when do many others would have quit.

[@stevewolfe9084]

I think Mutt Lange was a genius for how he made these guys sound good. This video proves it.

[@Texturas75]

That's what I was talking about! Not that they're bad. You can tell here that they're good! But Mutt Lange made them sound much better, specially BG vocals (far too good I must say).

[@eveninhisyouthhh]

Thank God Rick survived and that he had REAL FRIENDS. He’s so happy to be with his buds

[@dildongogarcia2]

this song rocks! arm's a gettin it is my favorite song!

[@timcloutier3729]

Rick Allen IS the true THUNDER GOD!!! Thank you for setting the bar high brothaah. Your drive to carry on has inspired me to do the same. As we both have traveled a similar path. Only my accident from a motorcycle accident. Play LOUD......Play PROUD!!! 🤘🏼🥁🎵🥁🎵🥁🎵🥁🎵🥁🎵🥁🎵🥁🎵🥁🎵🥁🎵🥁🎵🥁

The man does with one arm what I can’t do with 2. Miraculous

[@lh536]

I don't have words to describe this video! Where did you found this? I want more and more! Amazing S. Clark! You will be always remembered.

[@leepifer7645]

I had the chance to see them in Paris (Bercy) for Hysteria tour. I was on the Rick Allen side no arm, so impressive. What a sound and show it was. Each member were top performer. But the strongest memory is the Steve Clark solo, with his double guitar, runnin' like mad all along the stage, givin' incredible sounds and riffs. The crowd was totally in osmosis with him!

[@abubabybob]

Thanks for posting 👍🏼

[@michaelcorcoran8768]

Yeah honestly in the arena for man you can lose some of the individual instruments and all the noise. This was really cool to hear. Even in the records there's so much production that you don't always hear the guitars like this.

[@blackspace007]

Damn Joe Elliott could wear the hell out of some jeans. Anywayyyy, this was nice. I've been really getting into Def Leppard recently.

[@tonycerino6088]

This is great.....yea

[@Hysteria87x]

wish they included the end to the song, but hey, id gladly take this! Good stuff!

[@MrNckissfan]

Unlike American bands Europeans ones appear to be more loyal to each other. Both U2 and Rammstein have maintained the same lineup throughout their entire careers. The Police and The Beatles opted to break up instead of keeping the gravy train moving with new members. Led Zeppelin chose to disband after the death of their drummer. As for Def Leppard? Not once did they consider replacing Rick Allen, who btw has been in the band since the age of 15. Also, the last time a band member was replaced was in 1992 after Steve Clark’s death..

[@bls8959]

They got rid of Pete willis

[@monsterdoc]

DL is still the best band in the world.
