Def Leppard - Pour Some Sugar On Me (London To Vegas 2020)

[@smartasianfriend9940]

After the car crash took his arm, Rick Allen came back to the studio where the band had been recording. Nobody ever talked about replacing him or what they were going to do. They were just happy he was back and he'd just go into a room by himself....and spent his days figuring out how he could drum with one arm - setting up to drum with his feet, and practicing day after day. The band admits now, they were just happy he was doing something, but in the back of their minds of course he could never do what he once did. One day he called them into the room and proceeded to play one of their hits in their entirety on his new setup using his feet. By the end all of them were in tears.

[@anthonydeakin3834]

One of my ex firefighter colleagues in Sheffield was a massive Def Leppard fan, he was in charge of the first fire appliance on scene at Ricks accident. He was almost in tears when they cut him out of the wreckage but elated that he mastered the art of one arm drumming.

Great, now I’m crying on a bus on a Wednesday morning. I’ve been catching up with these guys over the past few days and am amazed at how good they still sound. This story makes me love them even more.

[@saragrant9749]

That’s the reason they are the all time best- the fact that they didn’t give up on him, they just adapted and made it work- even better than before to be honest.

The fact that they still sound this good after so many years is genuinely extremely impressive. As close to the records as it gets. Just like AC/DC.

Absolutely agree Collixion ! Saw them in 1987 in London on their Animal Tour, I was blown away at how much they sounded like the CD I had !! Infact, better ! Love AC/DC too, have a butchers at the Live At River Plate concert in 2009, the audience in Argentina are just incredible too ! Cheers, rock on !
