FIRST TIME HEARING Def Leppard "PHOTOGRAPH" REACTION | Asia and BJ

[@Bucketheadgoat]

I was 15 when this album came out. what a great time that was! thanks for the upload!

[@johnrogan9729]

I was 14. What a great time and the music was the best!

[@vxniamedina]

Damn both of you are so lucky! Having the purest experience of music from back in the day and at its finest. That’s awesome!

[@kennethturner8290]

Hmm, I was twelve. Best decade ever.

[@michaelfarmer6877]

Ok, two things: if you know who Marilyn Monroe is ,the girl dressed up like her in the video with the white dress and blonde hair. That's who he is singing about. And Rick Allen back before his car crash ,he still had his left arm. They were all really young then. Great song!!!.... 🔥

[@normanhoward8862]

Kay Kent was the Marilyn Monroe actress. She committed suicide just like Marilyn in 1989.

[@BRENDAJASON1]

@@normanhoward8862 I believe their was something more about Marilyn she knew a lot of things on the inside believe it was more than a suicidal

[@loonakara9941]

"If you know who Marilyn Monroe is"...really ?

[@1teamski]

Another 1980's rock anthem! What a classic.

[@rosamorales5282]

I love the harmony of all their voices together not just the lead. They're so great and so fun. I was a LOT younger when this came out but I can still head bang. 😆lol

[@jae8766]

Their harmonies have always been the draw to Def Leppard for me. Musically a lot of their stuff is fairly simplistic, but fabulous at the same time. The harmonies always kill.

[@danheisey9052]

I love Def Leppard and the older stuff like this is 🔥.

[@JBeck33]

I understand why the next album was so big. But, this was their best album, IMO.

[@kimberlydeore2530]

LOVE Def Leppard!!!!!!!! They have a unique, special sound and yes, they harmonize a lot. Please check out Animal next!

[@shannonwoods2413]

You need to react to "Foolin" & "Rock of Ages" Just a few other Def Leppard classics that you may enjoy!!

[@KieranRenee]

Rock of ages is my all time favorite 🔥🔥🔥

[@JORGAHOUSTON8163]

my favorite band. I have them tattooed on my back. ever since 1983, I heard Rock Of Ages. and fell in love...

[@TheTracystamand]

I have a def Leppard tattoo also ❤️

[@penguinsfan9192]

One of the greatest rock songs from the 80’s.

[@mapexzildjian6361]

After Rick Allen's accident he relearned drums. Incorporated his left foot in place of his left hand. Had he picked up that ability when he had all four limbs he definitely would be considered one of the best drummers ever.

[@saltypepper6526]

He is considered one of the best drummers in rock history But, totally get what’re saying I agree! He would’ve been in another stratosphere Peace On Ya 😊✌️🎶

[@Rebelrocker69]

I agree. He would have been and Neil Peart and Bonzo's level had he been able to incorporate that with all four limbs. As it is, he is still pretty high on the list.

[@TritoneChris]

@@Rebelrocker69 No. Just no.

[@raymo6795]

I think this is well before Rick Allen's accident..I think this is from their second(3rd?) album"Pyromania"..this album was HUGE when I was a kid...much credit to be given for not replacing him.One armed drummers are not common..Def Leppard is one of the premier metal acts of the 80s,90s.RIP Steve Clark...crashed and burned, like so many others

[@mapexzildjian6361]

@@raymo6795 Dec.1984 is when Rick had his accident.

[@deenormus1975]

Oh man, we all loved this song & then Rick lost his arm & everyone fell in love with Def Leopard for REAL, y’all.

[@bryanhenderson1862]

Not liking the fact he lost his arm, but loving they came back with him after that. :)

[@lorim2211]

def leppard

[@Jd-im4my]

Went to this tour. It was when they first became BIG and they were great. I was 16 then. I seen them a few years later when Pour Some Sugar on Me came out and they were still FIRE. One of the best LIVE bands . ❤♥️👍

[@shirleyallen5178]

O this right here!!! Yaaaaassss!!!! Loved me some Def Leppard! This was a huge hit!

The women ADORE these guys!

[@vonyroces7878]

the arrangement of this classic banger is simply amazing. it never sounds generic. really glad you reacted and see the greatness of this song

[@dannycasson1551]

Absolutely love this band. A lot of great songs to pick from.

[@kevingoode521]

Love this!!! One of my all time favorite bands. I wore out cassette tapes listening to them back then. Nice reaction!

[@monickalynn4365]

Same. Tape would get stuck in the player,had to tape it,then use a pencil to reel the 20ft of tape back in.Thank God for CD's lol

[@williamgallucci9913]

How I love this band

[@angelaswanson1077]

Def Leppard is a great band with so many bangers! I've seen them in concert 3 times. They're amazing in concert. This is definitely one of my favorite 80's bands. My era of music was the best! 80's girl right here!

[@robertwalker1803]

40 plus year legends…still around,too.Great band from England.Watch later videos and see the drummer killing it with one arm.They rigged a drum set up that he could play after he lost his left arm.Trythe song” Foolin”…great like this one.

[@paulpetersen879]

This was such a great album. I was in high school when this came out. The entire album is fantastic!

[@izorion6443]

This song was friggin HUGE. I bought it when it first came out....on cassette tape. Jesus I'm old.

[@sda6691]

I was obsessed with this band in high school (early 80's). Thank you for the trip down memory lane. ❤️❤️

[@matthewmatt5285]

Same,. I mean OBSESSED~ I MEAN RUNNING HOME TO PLAY IT as quick as possible~ Listening to the whole album 20 straight times and not skipping a Song~

[@paulsharkey6673]

Beautiful song and the vocals are just amazing. His voice is just fantastic.

[@matthewmatt5285]

He screams the whole time and it's like just beautiful melodicism~ You can't find ANYTHING like that today,.NOTHING~ Guys Scream but it just sounds like Screamin'~

[@Wei_Kang5976]

This song is as perfect as a classic rock song could be. One of my GF and my favorite songs

[@mikeystarr775]

One of the best hard rock songs ever. I was three when it came out. Was my favorite until I was 20.....it’s still top 3-5, I can listen to it every week

[@user-or1ye3iz6d]

Def Leppard is my favorite band! Please react to "Hysteria" and "Animal". ❤️

[@kelleychilton2524]

Your reactions were too fun!! 😂🤣👍

[@tracywoods486]

Should hear this live, seen them six tmes.❤

[@richardrodriguez2120]

High n Dry, On Through the Night and Pyromania were their three best albums and I still have all three cassettes

[@arthurolson9297]

Thanks for reacting to Photograph! For me Pyromania will always be their best album. Just awesome.

[@kennethturner8290]

'Pyromania' is one of the greatest rock albums of all time. Unfortunately after this album their drummer Rick Allen lost an arm in a car accident, but he managed to come back and create a new drum setup to continue playing with the band. They then went on to release their next album 'Hysteria'. I wasn't as much a fan as 'Hysteria' was more commercial and pop with songs like 'Pour some sugar on me' but it was a hit.

[@mauriciopachecosanchespach1553]

Great Job, congrats from Brazil... If you accept Def Leppard suggestion's, please react : A) Foolin' B) Bringing on the heartbreak. C) Love Bites Thanks !!

[@catladygoddess]

I’ve seen these guys live 3 times and they put on a great show every time. This is a fave and brings up so many memories. Thanks! 🔥🔥💖💖

[@saltypepper6526]

One of the best bands ever! I was 12 when the drummer was 15 and Joe/singer was 18 Totally grew up with these guys Joe Elliott was my husband for 2 decades! 😂😂😂😂✌️🎶

[@IMRDP]

I hear ya❣‼‼‼‼‼ From Linda, not Richard!🤣

[@ginonacionales6347]

This was the song that broke it wide open for me. Heard it on the radio, was at Tower records that afternoon, then problem.. on through the night and high 'n dry were the only ones on the shelf. Luckily, a clerk was able to find a box which had pyromania in it. Went from heartbreak to happiness in less than a second.

[@stevesavage8790]

Yeah, I loved me some Def Leppard back in the day, still do! This song is about Joe Elliott's boy crush he had on Marilyn Monroe....I don't blame him 😍

[@mikefetterman6782]

This is my favorite song of theirs. They started going a little more poppy after this album.

[@chrisendsley5724]

There 1 of few rock bands that still tour, took my kids about 5 years ago, it was Tesla, Styx, and Def Leppard. It was awesome and we had a blast. They were like 7 and 6 but knew the songs and words they rocked made their daddy proud.

[@yeahboiii6640]

Cowbell is so good in this tune! Love Def Leppard. Me and my girls band back in the 80s in high school! The whole Hysteria album blasts me back to those days. So good.

[@525569andrea]

Yessssss one do my favorite songs of all time!!! ❤️😄🔥

That's what a Rock Band looks like! Their stuff totally holds up and they are still looking great and going strong! Great live band!

[@joshuadeshaies7106]

I luv your reactions You guys gotta turn your volume all the way up so we can crank it up on our end. Thx for rockin us out guys!! 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻

[@seanmccaulley4195]

This is the perfect example of the 80s in one video! Try their video for Let it go. A little harder sound for them.

[@joycemullins3233]

More Def Leppard to try out is "Bringing on the Heartbreak" and "Love Bites"

[@paulthompson6873]

This album came out when I was 15 I was lucky to have grown up with this stuff.

[@sam45845]

That chorus is 🔥…. No doubt

[@rickymccarty7443]

Gotta do Too Late for Love. My all time favorite from Def Leppard

[@localhoast2009]

Love bites! And. When love and hate collide! Both are amazing

[@angellucas-ranck9594]

This was before Rick Allen lost his arm and it’s one of the few songs I like from their early days. I actually like their stuff they put out after the accident more which is amazing that they sound better with a one armed drummer then they did when he had two arms. Part of it is the fact that they stayed together after Rick Allen’s accident and didn’t just drop him, they showed loyalty.

[@richardsassany5572]

I miss the 80's days in the Navy...walking 2 blocks to wash my laundry listening to this song on my cassette player

[@cathyopthof8136]

Soon! My 2nd favorite. Never miss a concert each year! If you haven’t seem them live...you haven’t lived!!💋

[@robertboyer5926]

This song was #1 on the charts forever the year I graduated high school... and I swear it was in the top 40 all year.

[@lightlantern]

The fact that the lead singer is best friends with Dr. Brian May drives home his authenticity & heart!!

[@DrSpoculus]

Back in the day, when all you had was a photograph of your crush. No FB or Twitter to stalk old crushes with. You might fall in love with a girl and have a pic of her... and never see her again after the summer, ever. You just had to wonder what happened to your childhood crush while looking at a 20 year old picture in your hand. People fighting wars, all they had, if they were lucky, was a single black and white pic of their wife or mother. Thats what they fought for. No cell phones, no internet, no communication at all for years sometimes. Just letters.

[@lh1678]

You guys definitely broke the lyrics of this song down with more perspective than I did at first..good job.FYI: this was the song in the very first garage band that I ever played in and we rocked it at the battle of the bands...lol.

[@claudettesmith8328]

Love these guys!

[@bradleyhart2492]

You two are great! I hope I can explain this. When you listen to a song for the first time...it magical! For a lot of us out here, when you react to songs like this, it takes me back to a time when I was dating someone or a junior high dance or a highschool football game. Maybe camping with friends...there are a ton of great memories that most of us have hearing these songs. I'll be 58 on Christmas Eve, and I wish you could experience all the great 60's 70's and 80's music the same way we did. Cheers to you both, your doing a great thing, reacting to the music that brings such great memories back.

[@jerickson725]

I feel the exact same way. Turned 57 four months ago. Best days of my life and best music in the 70's/early 80's; and thought it would be the same forever, lol!

[@shaunhende9394]

when the drummer has two arms and phil had his shirt on

[@jimmyzee7040]

Seen them in concert Many times in the 80’s even recently, last time at Mohegan Sun in CT.

[@RobertLeija]

You already know who it is....the song is about Marilyn Monroe. The last video image is a woman dressed up just like one of her iconic photographed images. 👍😁👍

Lots of hits from this group. They were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame a couple years ago.

[@Triggerhippie70]

Listen, I was obsessed with Def Leppard growing up. I fucking love to band so much!

[@samcodeforsam7315]

This was a one of the first contributions to the 80's video age/metal genre. "Pour some sugar" came later after the drummer got into a car wreck & LOST HIS ARM! they custom built a drum set & They came back with the album Hysteria with the sing "Pour some sugar" on it. Solid album of music & it was a really good show. Rick the drummer did great with one arm. I have two and it isn't easy :)

[@matthewmatt5285]

You can Never describe what it was like to be 15 and listening to this Music and going to these Concerts every other week,. It was just a High School lifestyle Shared by a100 other kids that just couldn't Wait,..to see and hear what will come out Next,. It was truly an Amazing time to be Alive and NO ONE would EVER change it that lived it~ These guys LIVED for the Music,.It CAN'T be understated,. That's why when you hear it there isn't ONE NOTE you would change on the Entire Album,. It's crazy to even think that Anything CLOSE to something like this could happen today~ IMPOSSIBLE~

[@jenniferfoster1692]

Another really great Def Leopard song is "Animal"

[@lorim2211]

[@GS-xt8fu]

Great song. They were so young and the drummer still had two arms in that video. So great the band refused to perform without him and waited a long time for him to rehab and make the drums work. In fact the record label was very upset because of the time frame and they said….sue us. We won’t perform without him.

[@American_King]

One of my fav songs

[@jacqueline4514]

In the 80’s I wore this cassette out! 😊

[@rolandpace3147]

One of the best albums ever made. Aint a bad song on it

[@Hillybean30]

It’s a great song…harmonizing and the premise of the song. Back in the day…that’s all you had was a photograph y’all! It still rocks

[@Frostrazor]

Their harmonizing is what really makes their music special and dynamic and different sound from so many other rock bands. Their older stuff is definitely better. Especially the High & Dry album: Mirror Mirror Let it Go Bringing on the Heartache Lady Strange You Got Me Running
