This song is so much better when you let Switch 625 play on after it.

[@robertlynch7950]

Exactly.

[@jessievoisin5462]

My thought too

[@Unkyp]

yes indeed it is \m/

[@martinlehotan8373]

It's not the same without it. Switch 625 is just a killer jam.

[@marks2731]

Indeed yes. It’s, incomplete otherwise/

[@hashbrown77]

Weather or not you like Def Leppard you have to respect them as a band for the things they've gone through.....the drummer only has one arm for crying out loud 😎👍

[@wesdog8975]

He had two at the time of this video. Both Ricks were poling the boat along.

[@burntvirtue]

Yeah but only having one arm didn't limit his wife-beating abilities. Fuck Rick Allen.

[@SVSupervox]

@@burntvirtue Something that happened 25 years ago!! I'm not excusing it by any means, but seeing as he hasn't touched alcohol since I'd be tempted to say he learned a lesson and changed his behaviour, wouldn't you?

[@Raul-vl7ly]

Def Leppard year’s with Steve Clark were the best songs written by the band. When Steve passed on, the song writing was never the same. Rock In Peace Steve 🙏

[@anneahlefeld1989]

#Tesla Song and Emotion was written about Steve. Beautiful song. Indy ,In.

[@sergiodavila5269]

Raul I feel that. Steve Clark always brought cool riffs, solos & arrangements...RIP Steve

[@spiccolirocks3580]

I miss Steve, what a shame! God only knows what kind of music he had in store for us! Substance abuse is a bitch! Thanks for the music that lives on! Steve, Rip!

[@SDH2023]

Raul , you are absolutely right. The difference was obvious, still they made some pretty decent albums after. But the Steve Clark albums are by far the best.

[@j_freed]

Pete Willis was awesome too. Part of the chemistry.

[@Jp421JP]

#DefLeppard Lady Strange and Mirror, Mirror off the same album, High n Dry. Talk about a rock and roll album! This Album I think is Steve Clark at his best.

[@tipigi]

High-n-Dry was their 2nd album, On Through the Night being their 1st. The video for this song, thanks to MTV (when they actually played music videos), was what got me into rock, and then metal. Keep up the good work Rich-n-Kel!

[@Benjiefrenzy]

@paco acosta Eps aren't considered albums

[@Skinnerposse]

tipigi I was gonna comment when I heard him say that also. It’s also titled Bringin’ on the Heartbreak but we know what the song was when we read the video title

[@burntvirtue]

High-N-Dry is their best album by FAR.

[@yvonnegutierrez9745]

Love this song. This song came out when I was in high school. Miss the 80’s.

[@crimsonwarrior6565]

Rich, totally agree with you, it was my intro to the band and it has held up as my favorite song of theirs. I was in a Water-slideathon, it was like 2 in the morning and the night dj played this song. I was blown away. Still love it, and thanks for sharing!

[@albertzappa1994]

what I love about them is I seen their life story and after the drummer lost his arm the band stopped playing in respect for him. he did come back and I don't know what they would have done if he never came back, what class.💚

[@mikethomas877]

There was a remix version of this song where they added keyboards to the mix during the chorus, when they did a reissue of the High and Dry album. Phil Collen is shown in this video, even though it was Pete Willis who played this song originally ( Pete was on the albums On Thru The Night and High and Dry). Great song from a great band ! Just to point out High and Dry was Def Leppard's second album. On Thru the Night was their first.

[@jccole1524]

The song is "Bringing On The Heartbreak" ( not Heartache ). It's actually off of their 2nd album. Their 1st album was " On Through The Night ". Love your channel! Keep on rocking!

[@adrathemetaloutlaw754]

This one of my moms fave bands. Shes 63 and still jams to Def Leppard. One cool mom.

[@LE-wc1dr]

Right on!!!!

[@markusantonio4866]

My late brother is Rich's age, and he got me into alot of music. I was 8 and Def Leppard was my first rock band. It's great they're still together.

[@debraalexander4061]

I’ve been fortunate to have seen this band 4 times since 2012. Didn’t have money back in the day for concerts lol! They’re still awesome! Love this!

[@jumpmasterjhr]

They are now in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame!

[@Thiccbeard]

Riding in my dad's 87 Ford lariat when I was young. Another great banger.

[@Stuman57]

I agree about this being a favourite. I think "Foolin" is pretty close or tied for favourite.

[@thomasbianchino3116]

Let It Go from the High and Dry album is by far their best tune. If you disagree, well you're just wrong. ;-)

[@mikeyadase4391]

That songs amazing but I wouldn’t say it’s their best

[@strogaa]

They were the heroes of the cool riff and the epic chorus.

[@arlenehenry1097]

Oh yeah! Let your spirit go back in time n embrace raw music...tis a gift to be appreciated for generations to comment on!

[@cole110]

my dad is 72 and he even loves this great song...rock on...

[@fishinrod7211]

I could totally see Rich flashing back to a summer night with a warm breeze.

[@JWCFB]

Let her experience every song she can off of Def Leppard High N Dry. It is their best and most underrated album. It is their hardest rocking album. It is critically acclaimed among guitar players. It's the album before Pyromania when few Americans even knew who they were. A real hidden gem of rock and roll. They also released videos for the songs Let it go and Saturday Night High N Dry.

[@msaz2720]

My favorite Def Leppard song! I think I was 15 when it came out, loved it immediately!

[@geneaikenii1092]

wOw u were 10-11. i got this cassette tape in my Christmas stocking when i was 16 yrs. old, Def Leppard had just releasing it that November of 1983. cool song. beautiful reaction. keep-a-rockin guys. bless you both. much peace and lots of love. big shoutout from this old, longhaired, Southern boy in Gatlinburg, Tennessee. See you's two on the next.

[@kennethtilton6137]

I first heard Def Leppard with Pyromania when I was a senior in high school, but I liked them so much that I went and bought this earlier one, on vinyl, and recorded it to cassette so I could listen to it on my imitation Walkman as I walked to classes as a college Freshman. I even remember listening to this one during the all day ordeal of Drop/Add, done with punch cards, and how much easier it was the next year when you could do it in the office of your Faculty Advisor on his computer terminal. If course, now it's even easier because you could do it from about anywhere online. College kids these days don't know how easy they have it, and how archaic their parents had it. Just think...punch cards! In an auditorium. An all day process.

[@carolinagothic7243]

Awesome reaction! This took me back in time! I was just starting high school when I discovered Def Leppard! Too late for love is my absolute favorite!

[@chrisbudberg8769]

This was the first cassette tape I bought with my own $ when I switched from records to cassettes as a kid.ive always been a closet Def Leppard fan. Just great music. Just so you know your sound quality is still really great . Keep up the awesome reactions. #defleppard women Fernie British Columbia canada

[@Bonehead777]

I got into Def Leppard about 87. Hysteria album was the first one I heard and that was about the height of their best era. You gotta appreciate their contribution to rock.

[@glennkirchens7970]

Ahhhh early #defleppard. Loved your presentation of this classic. That whole #highanddry albulm is wicked good. Gotta listen to the full albulm version with the next song.

[@tipigi]

Yep, "Switch 625" (instrumental), the next song is awesome. I can't listen to this song without letting it play through all the way, as it flows into it without any break in between.

[@NZLatic]

Love this early Def Leppard. High n Dry, Pyromania...awesome. Hysteria was ok but can’t beat the old school stuff.

[@fabiendemarseille]

Stephen Parkinson c'est pas le groupe ou le batteur est amputé d'un bras?!?

[@NZLatic]

Fabien Ricous As the song by The Bloodhound Gang says, “The drummer from Def Leppard’s only got one arm’. He had an arm amputated after a car accident between the Pyromania and Hysteria albums.

[@strogaa]

@@fabiendemarseille Oui, c'est vrai. 3 ans apres cette video.

[@mrb2550]

Rich rich rich... You cut off switch 625. Are you kidding me!!!??? ☹️

[@bach5150]

that video doesn't go into switch.... it ends there... unfortanately.... even more odd is the fact that they did ANOTHER video for this song with Phil on guitar as opposed to the original with Pete....

[@joeomalley2835]

It was the official video though, so no Switch 625.

[@amyntut]

I have the lyrics " A broken rose with laughing eyes" tattooed on my arm . My favorite Def Leppard song. Great song choice.

[@TheFundead]

This was like their best album, closely followed by Pyromania...

[@mmaarrttyy123]

Love and hate collide and love bites get me emotionally every time.

[@thomasskeffington4539]

This is a class song. The key change makes it that way. First time hearing it was their concert. Somehow it passed me by before that. If only they could foresee the heartache ahead with Rick and Steve.

[@EchoesDaBear]

#DefLeppard - Love Bites (Kitchener, Ontario, Canada) (I know it's a ballad, but the harmonizing is incredible!!) LOVE this piece, always have! This was proof that Joe really did have an amazing voice!! This album through to Hysteria (which was my first foray into the Leppard - AMAZING album) were an incredible run! Their harmonies were just plain awesome!!

[@BrotherDave80]

such a classic great song! funny but TRUE story... as a kid in the early 80s we had one of those big and tall home standing stereos and i would plug in those huge headphones with the huge chord and jump around to Def Leppard in my whitey tighties 😂😂😂

[@starburstppl]

Great pick Rich, and Kel's reaction to it was awesome!

[@TexasMagnolia]

Producer, Mutt Lange. It was recently discovered that he secretly lended a lot of help to vocals. This is why, in particular, Joe Elliot and Shania Twain would leave fans scratching their heads during live performances.

@@tatemitchell5020 (Live In The Round '88) from "Hysteria Tour" is the best performance live by Def Leppard.

[@MrTech226]

Rich, I was about 16 or 17 when this song came out. It is kinda weird seeing drummer, Rick Allen playing with both arms & hands prior to his car accident that took one of his arms. Def Leppard had custom built specific for his impairment or empowerment in his and band's eyes. Sad that Steve Clark died unexpectant. Even his replacement, Vivian Campbell battled cancer. I have seen DL live in concert in West Palm Beach with some friends.....they rocked!!

[@michaelfreeman4218]

This is the "re-video" with Phil Collen - the recording and original video had Pete Willis

[@Axechucker]

Yeah, but fuck Pete Willis. He was a dickbag.

[@dirtpile]

Was never a huge fan but did see them live in 88 and I love this song!

[@mC-bc7ng]

My favorite album of theirs. Young and raw before they went from a more hard guitar sound to their more harmony based sound later on

[@craighenry2351]

Me too. Not a bad song on it and a couple of underrated ones like Lad Strange and Mirror Mirror.

[@jvidalw]

this is actually the second version of the video,released around 1984. The original featured Pete Willis, in this one you can clearly see Phil on the guitar.

[@ytcag2007]

Def Leppard has been my all time favorite band. Love their sound, the fact that all members can sing, their songwriting is still unmatched, their lyrics have meaning, and best of all, they have tons of fun when they play live. Just an awesome band all around, their songs aren't missing a damn thing! Great choice. 😊❤👍👍

[@mrmjb1960]

There was two versions made in 1982 and 1984,the first one made Live by MGMM video and the second one directed by the same one who did Photograph David Mallet.

Nice reaction and thoughts on this song. One of my favorite from this band.

[@youtoo2233]

This is from their second album, the first album was on through the night

[@robertshulenberger]

Def Leppard is one of my absolute favorite bands. I'm still amazed at how "The Thunder God" plays the drums with one arm That's what makes Rick Allen AWESOME !! Of course, this was before the car accident on December 31 1984. If you want to see Rick Allen after his car accident, I believe you have to go to the Hysteria album and beyond

I think my second comment ever here was asking for Def Leppard! I KNEW! YOU WERE A FAN. ❤️

[@JWCFB]

All the songs off of high and dry are great but the five best ones are bringing on the heartbreak, let it Go, Hit and run, Saturday night high and dry, and mirror mirror. You got me running is also a great song. It's just a fantastic album and it's the album before they got popular in the United States. It's their hardest rocking record and it is a true gem that will leave your ears bleeding and begging for mercy by the time the last song ends. It's what real rock and roll is supposed to be about... RAW! They were just 19 year old kids when they recorded it in 1981

[@Gooey84]

Wow, this was before Rick Allen lost his arm. Great video!

[@BrotherDave80]

yes! i remember that

[@tipigi]

They obviously made this video after Pete Willis left the band, and Phil Collen joined. Their original video for this song showed the band, with Pete, on a stage, simply playing the song (they also did videos for "High 'n' Dry", and "Let it Go" in the same on stage style).

[@wesdog8975]

I can remember this one kid who thought he was tough because he listened to heavy metal music at the time and wore bandanas and denim. He bawled like a baby about the accident.

[@ellroylynchbowie678]

Masterpiece! I also like Hysteria, Adrenalize and Retroactive, but the first 3 albums are amazing!

[@skridtractor875]

Great song! To me, their first 2 LP's were their best. Harder-edged songs than the rest of their catalog. I was lucky to see them in Boston for the Aug. 2, 1980 Judas Priest ('British Steel') & Scorpions ('Animal Magnetism') tour. We had great seats in the balcony 1st-row overlooking the stage. Excellent show!!

[@craigcook1030]

In 1981, when I was young airman serving overseas, in Spain, I went with a couple of friends to a concert. The way that they did their band presentation back then, unlike in the United States, was to have the headliner come out first, and the other less well-known bands come out there after. We saw Richie Blackmore’s rainbow, followed by UFO, and the closer was, surprise surprise, Def Leppard. They had not yet made their debut in the United States. I thought they were good then, and my suspicions were verified in the following years. Classic 80s rock. Love it.

[@RetrofanFilms]

This video of Heartbreak is of the remixed, or the 2nd version. The 1st version was recorded for Leppard’s 2nd album High N Dry. That track is paired with an amazing guitar solo by the late Steve Clark called “Switch 625”. Many radio stations have played both tunes back to back as if they are one song. When Leppard made their 3rd album, Pyromania; and it became a smash, they chose to re-release High N Dry; with two new tracks. One of the new tracks was the remix of Heartbreak; which has a keyboard sound to it. That video you reacted was for the remix. I do hope you’ll look for that original version with “Switch 625”. It’s considered a classic.
