Rick Allen is amazing guy because he was married to a women. Called miriam and he lost his arm in a car accident do he had his seat belt tore his arm off ,so as he plays the drums with one arm he is really awsome guy to be alive .

If you heard how damn powerful joes voice was from 81-93, you’d understand why his voice isn’t as great. He literally sang harder and more powerful than probably any other mainstream rock artist of those days. ROCK STAR!

[@1earedwolf]

And if you listen to Euphoria (1999) and then Yeah! (2006), especially their cover of Stay With Me, you'll understand what made his voice change.

[@billydow9798]

The f’n Catalina Wine Mixer cmon get real, I live Def Leppard but to say he sang harder than anyone else is just pure nonsense. It has all been studio trickery and a million overdubs in the studio to get that sound. I’ve seen them as far back as the early 80’s a number of times and his voice live has always been subpar, and ima fan

His loss remains incalculable. Joe's voice is fine. He was a bit rough this night but NO backing vocals Leppard do it right live. The 'Thunder God' smiling as always.
