Def Leppard “Pour Some Sugar on Me” on the Howard Stern Show

[@defleppard]

Thanks for having us 🤘

[@nadyaedwards]

that was a great interview! I remember wearing the hell out of that union jack concert tee from the 80's!

[@CADguru78]

I just remember blasting this as a kid and my mom thought the lyric was "break the bible break it up" and she thought you guys were satanic and said I couldn't listen anymore. LOL

[@olimoser2617]

Tell me something about your guitarsounds on this video ...AWESOME! Amps? Kemper? Helix? Tell my please.

[@joni5243]

Love you guys! Grew up with your music! Wish you all word tour again!

[@Doriamo]

You guys still sound amazing!

[@Romans219]

Just the fact that they kept Rick Allen as their drummer after his accident makes them a legend in music and as men of honor.

[@mattshank8155]

decent take, but i guarantee if he was unable to play, or his playing wasn’t up to par, he would have been kicked out. respect to him because he still sounds great

[@ea4878]

Abusive fuk knows how to beat a women with one arm still.

[@thomashamilton9658]

I do not see that as a big deal. In fact it isn't.

[@ikedewinter1213]

That's the true meaning of a band

[@davegill7614]

​@@mattshank8155 disagree they were a brotherhood...led zeppelin finished when bonzo died

[@hollywooda111]

Whoever does the sound in Howard's studios for the bands deserves a medal!...

[@reddblurr]

Scott Lee Clayton fuck yeah they do!

[@Jordanredux]

What a tune

[@lukecowley4949]

First artists I've seen using the new fender acoustasonic

[@JoergVeselka]

Yeah... But here it sounds like nothing 🤔😢

[@DinoJr.686]

That's literally why I clicked on this video lol

[@daves.2111]

Luke Cowley I gotta wonder if it not a paid endorsement.

[@DeepZeea]

Yes, for good reason - they're awful lol

[@masonstanley1178]

Luke Cowley that’s what i was gonna say. probably because it’s an average guitar and stupid experience lol

[@ShartimusPrime]

Damn, i didn’t know the back up vocals were honestly so legit. Always assumed it was studio trickery. I’m a moron.

[@darklordlc]

If anyone doubts their live vocals, listen to this. They have always prided themselves on their LIVE vocals and they always deliver.

[@j_freed]

Even 20-30 years ago people thought Leppard were using triggered samples for live vocals. Never the case, they just sounded too good to be real.

[@kierantuck9]

darklordlc they have slight auto tune/pitch correction on their mics.

[@kamuelalee]

Great band!!

[@ds5183]

Seen them twice in Grand Rapids, MI. Both awesome shows.

[@Me37368]

darklordlc In 2016 joe had some questionable moments where if he was lip syncing or not

[@uncletrick1]

Dude still has his voice, unlike some other 80s rockers.

[@mr.smithgnrsmith7808]

Axl, if he’s on...which recently has been like 80% of the time....is still killing it

[@travstar5447]

Love these guys....alot of class

[@elguerochoyero2220]

I saw them live with poison and Tesla, joe Elliot is still amazing live. However i personally think Tesla took the cake in terms of vocals.

[@chrisw5742]

As the male voicebox gets older it tends to go lower in pitch. Some of those old 80's bands should try growing up and tuning DOWN. :-P

[@tonycoyne9676]

bRUCE DICKENSON PUTS THEM ALL TO SHAME. sorry for the caps. But great job regardless

[@ShadowOfADoubt9]

I don't usually like stripped down versions of songs but this was so good.

[@j_freed]

Check out Corgan playing 1979 on Stern.

[@aaroncrawford5638]

I think the only thing I didn’t care for was the distortion (at least for a more stripped down version of the song.)

[@fenderg1988]

Hardly stripped down when the two guitarists are still shredding on electric guitars. Granted no actual drums but yeah. All the trashy pop and RnB artists have stolen the themes from all the hair metal guys of the 80's expect they don't know how to shred and they need Auto tune and 50 writers to come up with a song about getting drunk and shaking your booty. I saw Def Leppard last year and they put on a killer rock show that proves they still have the talent and drive to take on mainstream music.

[@fedexnman]

I was surprised

[@cadencole103]

This is barely stripped down tho the only difference is a shaker instead of drums. Don’t get me wrong it’s great but the poor drummer is probably bored to death.

[@Anthogarr]

My lord they have no business sounding that good in 2019... amazing performance

[@rmsys18]

Hearing still that energy in the voice, after so many years of this song, that is how to sing rock and roll kids

[@mcdonaldsapp666]

I’m blown away with how good they still are. So good

[@Erwinpaul777]

He cant sing anymore tho

[@Shadesingrey]

Backing vocals during the chorus are just music to my ears! I can hear they have been cleaned up and tuned, but the voices are still the same after all the years... amazing : )

[@baybae92]

Their vocals are seriously incredible. They emulate the studio background vocals so well without using tapes.

[@maybeDilPickles]

HOLY HELL! They still got it! This is how a band should sound live not like these studio artist today.

[@katg9507]

Dylan Germino you should see them in concert..awesome

[@st3veee77]

Howard must have a great studio sound for bands like this. It seems anytime I hear a band on his show recently they always sound very good.

[@SportsPhanatic17]

Have you heard any modern artist live?

[@goldenhourkodak]

You're listening to the wrong music of today. Tons of great artists out there... open your eyes.

[@mr.anonymous5501]

Bands today hardly ever sound like this even in the studio. Gone are the days of a band recording all together, and playing off each other. Now (more often than not), the drummer puts down his beat, then the bass, rhythm guitar, lead guitar, and vocals. It gets mixed up sometimes, but that's the general formula, and I think it takes a little away from the recordings. Like there's zero chance of a small mistake that works well,or even a bit of improvisation getting on the final recording.

[@Artstar2]

I was expecting an entirely acoustic version. I'm glad they blended the unplugged acoustic vibe with the electronic guitar and bass. It worked out well.

[@cursedgeorge939]

Artstar2 Imagine if it started like this and then after the first chorus it went full rock mode with Rick’s drums. That would be heaven.

[@loscni]

There's an entirely acoustic version they preformed for Howard in 1999 that you can also find on the channel

[@mattwstewart205]

One of the only bands who can still get up and play today and still sound pretty sharp. Can’t say that for many others

[@keefriff99]

That was GREAT! Rick looks bored as hell with that shaker, lol.

[@AnyelinaL]

He actually looks awesome!! very handsome! :)

[@blackturkdog]

They could have done another song. 2 steps behind.

[@mcdonaldsapp666]

Yet without him the song wouldn’t had been what is.

[@gtyrone83]

Arm must get tired

[@elliottknifton8902]

He should get those tambourines and shakers you can strap to your feet

[@blindsidedka]

I wasn't expecting this, jesus christ they've still got it!

[@thepanman8]

I wasnt expecting howard with jerry curls

[@jeremyericksen8433]

blindsidedka just saw them live this past Friday. Unreal how they sound so good!

[@froffnix4710]

I’ve never listened to def leppard before, I just clicked on this because I was surprised to see someone playing an acoustasonic

[@rochat]

I love that the bassist is still in the 80's. They still sound great.

[@ruiseartalcorn]

In this world of digital wizardry, it's wonderful to see a real band do their stuff, live, with no trickery, and one only has one arm, in a live studio and still sound like the record!!! Respect!!!

[@rmzzz76]

These guys still sound amazing... Especially impressed with lead vocals since he's up their in age. When you listen to the old album cuts, keep in mind they never sounded like the album cut exactly live. Every band member still brings their A game and still has thir shit together. Amazing band.

[@johnriz80]

The very best ROCKERS in the world. If you don't believe it watch THIS! Always the best since the 80s. Seriously one of the best rock bands ever. HALL OF FAME ROCK!

[@corneliuscrewe8165]

I think most people overlook just how important the whole band’s vocals are integral to their sound, and they still sound like Def Leppard. Cool.

[@McFlurry-OREO1]

I've always thought that too.

[@RockAndDoubleBassWithAaronJoy]

Its the vocals that push Def beyond other bands. Not just backing vocals or gang 'chorus' vocals, but adding dynamics.

[@trent7919]

Great version of this song! Love the stripped down sound that still has the ripping guitars. This band had the best guitar tone of them all!

[@jamievidd775]

My God. Awesome. DL/Joe Elliot awesome.

[@unclejane9819]

It’s mesmerizing to watch and listen to how Phil and Vivian so perfectly and professionally interweave their guitar playing.

[@DJFalkoHannover]

4:00 those double swells are pure eargasm!

[@kemsmith]

Lol I love how phil and viv look at each other when they realize they're out of sync... and then phil takes off

[@catjudo1]

I've long appreciated the way that Def Leppard harmonized on the chorus. Pyromania remains a favorite after all these years. One interesting thing I read about Rick is that he considers himself a better drummer now than before the accident that cost him his arm. His kit too is absolutely unique and fascinating to learn about. Great performance!

[@rondellschuyler7074]

I love def Leppard. These guy's are classy and talented. They don't fight. they don't argue, they get along and they actually love their fans.

[@MascarasMil]

I was there when the original guys put out their first album. The first in my school to own it and turn on others. 55 now and I thought I had outgrown this music. Then I saw Viv, Joe, Phil, Rick and Rick and went upstairs and pulled some cds. Yeah cds! Thank you boys! This rocked! Never better!

[@the406seadonkey6]

Don't give up on the past, my friend! Def Leppard or anything else.

[@butterfly.933]

That was so awesome I need to watch it again.

[@MoMo-xb7nr]

I still get goosebumps because they’re such a great band.

[@jordantipton]

Man this band is still awesome. Loved them since the 80’s.

[@maristoldboys5466]

Love that Viv Campbell outro. Tasteful choice of notes. Juicy as hell.

[@BP-md9iz]

Hell yeah. They still have it. New bands would kill for a hook like that. See yall in Vegas for shows 64/65 this Labor day weekend!! Congratulations on joining the HOF.

[@jonathandunseath741]

And this is why I love Def Leopard. 🇬🇧

[@paulyoung7223]

Me and my wife saw them guys last year,finally got to see use,wow I was absolutely blown away buy the whole show,great guitarists great drummer and amazing vocals probably one the best live bands ever saw

[@JoeKing67.]

Take note kids, this is real music, they still sound good 25 years later, I stayed in line all night from around 7pm till 9am for tickets,I miss those party days in the 80s.

[@fhgesink5362]

They sound and look GREAT. Have seen these guys 8 times over the years and they never disappoint.

[@Obitwokonobi]

Round of applause,brilliant flawless rock song ,happy days

[@nidzdotnet76]

That's awesome. Takes me back to when I was a high school kid on the bus listening to Hysteria on cassette tape in the 80's..

[@jamieround2072]

PURE CLASSIC'S HERE !!!!!!!! black crow now def leppard woooow weeee in my mid 40's & hearing & seeing these on here REALLY TAKES ME BACK !!!!!!!!!!! REALLY AMAZING WISHING KIDS in their teen's could experiance this awesmose stuff !!!!!!! SOOOO VERY VERY GLAD I RE-FOUND 'OL HOWARD STERN ............ SO GLAD HE RECORDED ALL THESE & WAY MORE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@jonwoodworker]

Absolutely amazing. Talent at its finest. Also boggles my mind how down to earth they are.

[@canadiantraveller281]

Thank you for still touring staying together and playing the hits. We don't have many 80's groups left....

[@greenbeagle13]

I stopped listening to music after the 1960's..., and then along came Def Leppard... Loved them.

You guys keep my youth alive, heart, soul, muscle and bones. Love and respect.

[@thomasVA9707]

def leppard were fkn legends, what a band, the music they made is just unbelievable

[@rocknroller77]

Seen them quite a few times and met them. Really fantastic guys. Lovely lads.

[@guitarsimon1]

God they sound just as good as they did in the 80s, incredible musicians.

[@bernlin2000]

Cool to see these old-timers still enthusiastic about even their biggest hits. Howard always brings out that energy, it's great :-)

[@sweetgav9163]

I mean hot damn, they sound incredible!!!

[@acward2007]

Wow that was bloody brilliant. So glad these guys have still got it. Fantastic performance.

[@dyrphotography]

What a Great Song and Band! These lads gave us kids a great soundtrack all through the 80's!

[@wills3zr422]

wow , can't believe how awesome these guys sound live. Always loved their music.

[@AlanSmithee5150]

When this song came out....MTV would play it at least 12 times a day🎸🎶🎤🥁

[@BootlegFightVideo]

Strippers would strip to it 100 times a day.

[@bsfilippi]

I THINK IT'S 1987

[@denisewyatt1877]

#1 for 87 consecutive days on the MTV top daily 10. We would run from the dinner table to watch it. I remember once MTV had a Def Leppard weekend! I had many, many VHS recordings of that weekend.

[@krr74]

Yep I remember that.

[@GuadalupeGuacamole]

BootlegFightVideo they still do

[@Desireesorenson]

Holy Shit😮😮😮 some bands just don’t age and thank god for it❤❤Beyond Amazing!!!!

[@Akabackalooka]

Haha! At the end when Howard tells them, "You're on to something!" :)

[@valnaples]

HA! Absolutely awesome..!!! Thanks Howard STERN!!!!!

[@riczuniga2736]

I have to admit it, these guy's still f-ing Rock!🤘🤘 Let's not forget On Through the Night, and High, and Dry!!

[@patrashdigger]

LET-IT-GO!!

[@Miasdaddy7]

They still sound badass as always.

[@jbartyparty7398]

This is magical!! Love the sped up tempo of this and the harmonizing and vocals really shine through along with Phil & Viv's guitar playing. Awesome!!

[@chrysb4340]

Def Leppard is one of the few bands that can perform their songs live and actually have a better quality

[@samfosdick9874]

Only guitar guys would get. I'm waiting to try one bit skeptical that it's worth the price. Have you tried one yet?

So the Deaf Leopard guy is the one who bought it. I was wondering if they were even gonna sell one of them, and here it is

[@romulusremus7537]

I think he's just playing it unplugged. Would like to hear it plugged in to see how it really sounds.

[@marshallburd5087]

Ok heres the true story of how i discovered this band way way back.....was cruising with some of my buddies headed out to the fire trails along the Ausable river in oscoda michigan and one of my buddies comes out of this little convenance store with HIGH AND DRY...we never heard of this band he just bought it on a whim.....we break out the weed do a bunch of one hits put the tape in crank it up and mind you this was a kicking system loud and clear and all four of us were blown away!!!! and i am still a huge fan today at 54 years young.....thanks guys you still sound and look awesome

[@Barelyleashed83]

Still nailing it after all this time! that is a rarity these days. Nice!!

[@kornfreak78]

I will always and forever have love for Def Leppard. They were my VERY FIRST favorite band. Much respect to these gentlemen!

[@GodIHateYouKenny]

Me too! 1983, when I was eight,I feel in love with their music because of pyromania!

[@Danimal77]

You're a year younger than me (I was born in '77) and I'm a huge fan of Def Leppard. High N' Dry is by far my favourite album of theirs, but even their poppiest stuff is great. They have a sound like no one else. Btw, I'm also a Korn fan ;-).

[@SJUCityBoy]

Wow! These are the moments when you separate the true musicians from the rest of the herd. Bad ass. Def Leppard fan for almost 40 years. Great band.

[@garym5707]

Wow! Hope to see them in concert in 2021!! Guys are legends!

[@Abax77]

These boys still sound great!!! The backing vocals are amazing!!!

[@raveleando]

They sound so Top level!!

[@erickleefeld4883]

Listen to Joe Elliott's voice. And now, think about this: He's 59 years old.

[@officialmetalwill]

It's decent here, but most of their lives stuff is total shit. There are singers much older than him that sound way better.

[@zman2205]

Eric Kleefeld he’s like a fine wine. He gets better with age

[@GuadalupeGuacamole]

Eric Kleefeld I drooled over this man at Orange County Speedway in Hudson Valley NY in 1987 and Im still drooling over him and his voice in 2019.

[@user-wk2qp8cp8x]

Eric Kleefeld he sounds like shit dude ..

[@the_minimalistic_adventure]

59 isn't that old. Your voice is still fairly intact if you took care of it at that age. Now let's check back in 10-15 years and see how it is. Lol

[@llcruize]

Saw these guys FINALLY a few years back and was blown away by the vocals. Here, proof positive those vocals are not enhanced, but totally and absolutely glorious.

[@markm5234]

Philadelphia Spectrum. Oct. 13th, 1987. Short side of the "In the Round" stage. 3rd row. Tesla opened. Best show I've ever seen, and I've been to more than few.

I was there, pretty good show but no where near the top 10 I've seen.
