FIRST TIME HEARING! Def Leppard | Pour Some Sugar On Me

[@theidajawho]

This is the first album where the drummer, Rick Allen, had lost his arm in a car wreck. He told the band to find a new drummer, and they said that it was NOT Def Leppard without him. They would wait for him, so he learned to play with electronics and uses his feet more. Still plays all their songs even to this day, as they are currently on tour.

[@Bklynreau]

ohhhhhhhhh dope story

[@Ncroadrunnerjr]

@@Bklynreau that is true love for your band mate. It is absolutely a true story

[@X-Stream24]

Saw them live in San Antonio in 2019. I went just to watch Rick play. The dude is awesome

[@ChristianContemporaryMusic02]

Jeff rich from status quo helped him on a few small live shows in 1986 leading up to the 1986 monsters of rock show. The band wouldn't let him leave. I know as I'm a true leppard fan. Rick never really wanted to leave.

[@InsaneProf]

@@ChristianContemporaryMusic02 They're more like a family than a band.

[@gladyswashington5171]

That one armed drummer is Rick Allen The Thunder God!!!

[@TheMeerkat2323]

I can't believe it took so long to notice Rick's missing arm, there were plenty of shots earlier in the video where you could see it. BUT like all American's who react to this song, your reaction to that small detail was great, being able to be a drummer is hard enough to begin with when you have to try and coordinate 4 limbs into playing, but trying to do what everyone else does with 4 limbs when you only have 3 takes an absolute genius. If I ever see the question "who is the greatest drummer of all time" my answer is always Rick Allen because of what he went through and has come out the other side sounding no different to a 4 limbed drummer

[@randallmccoy8581]

Listen to that POWERFUL DRUMMING. Awesome stuff for 2 arms, let alone...ONE ARM !! RESPECT.

[@Metalphysicalpodcast]

Def Leppard has a very high number of female fans.

[@bonnieloggins8923]

One of the best bands that ever walked across the stage. Truly amazing. And a wonderful drummer and he is only playing with one arm

[@bidwell13]

Look up on KZbin Rick Allen drum solo. It’s amazing watching him play. My daughter who is autistic loves this band and sees the Thunder God as an inspiration to not let anything stop her. We took her for her sweet sixteen to see Def Leppard and Journey in concert.

[@daniel_aka_bombscare]

My Fav from them💯🔥🔥.. Yeah the drummer only has one arm and still bangs the shit outta them drums💪💯

[@Bklynreau]

this a hit!!!!!!!

[@AnnaMarie66]

My FAVORITE Rock band!🥰🎶The drummer Rick Allen had to relearn to play after his accident & the band was all love & patient waiting for HIM to be ready! He’s also a phenomenal Artist with his work hanging in a gallery. ABC has a special interview on KZbin with him. Very cool

[@katehaynes5735]

Rick Allen was 14 when he joined Def Leppard so you know he had the talent from an early age! "Pour Some Sugar On Me" was SUCH a HUGE HIT when it came out, it was on MTV (when they played videos) hourly, on the radio, you couldn't escape it.... but most of us didn't want to! I've seen them in concert twice since then, they are great. 😊

[@ChristineKirsch-n6q]

Close, he was 15!

[@monicar503]

Love this reaction!! Please react to more Def Leppard. Here's some more of their songs; Armageddon it, Photograph, Rocket, Love bites & sooo many more 🎶😁🎶

[@Bklynreau]

thank u

[@stormy8207]

You have a hell of a journey a head of you. Lucky man.

[@masteronionnorth2341]

One of the catchiest songs ever. I use to hear this song played in every single strip club I went to... Hard to believe these guys are in their 60s now and still touring... The 80s was probably the last decade for great diverse genres of music.

[@Bklynreau]

how was the strip club ? lol

[@johnbarraco5561]

Rick Allen is the “thunder God”

[@chrismaverick9828]

There is a very good reason that those of us who lived through the 80's remember it so fondly... The 80's were awesome for music, movies, and childrens' toys and cartoons.

[@VadersRage]

When Def Leppard first hit the scene, Rick Allen was one of those "up and coming" talents that people were paying close attention to. He was super young when the band went mainstream (he was like 17 or so when the album "High And Dry" came out). He's an incredibly talented drummer to begin with....and then you add in (or take away?) the issue of his missing arm....? Please. The band has had a couple of devastating tragedies over the years, but they are STILL going strong to this day (an interesting read if you're interested). Liked and sub'd for more!

[@DeAnne1233]

High praise for looking up the lyrics 😂 We had no idea what he was saying before we got the lyrics either.

[@Bklynreau]

😂 yea I was like wtf

[@CraigKostelecky]

And how the hell did they have a red iPhone in 1987? :p

[@BB-yh5rd]

White dude here. Sort of reminds me of how I reacted in 1987 when my friend went to Cali and brought back Ice T's first album. Never heard anything like it. Tweeters in my friends truck were throwing so much sound it would blow out a match. Great shit is great shit.

[@ninjakitty4816]

Did you not notice the drummer only had one arm 😊

[@russellhunt2071]

I love these reactions of this band just to see if they realize the drummer.

[@jasoncook4008]

The album that this song comes from had 6 singles in the top 100 count down & all 6 were in the top 10 . From the lowest ranking song from this album being the title track called Hysteria which was #10 to the #1 song called Love Bites .

[@ikymagoo]

Great reaction! Love it! Saw them live for this tour back in 1987, great concert!

[@Bklynreau]

thank u

[@victorramsey5575]

In case you didnt know, drummer Rick Allen, lost his left arm when his Corvette crashed and rolled over. He was ejected, but due to the seatbelt wrapping around his left arm, the arm was torn off and found up under the dashboard. He designed the first electronic drum kit and carried on. This makes you wonder about people who complain about their 1st world problems. There are people out there waaaaay worse off than us and carry on with a smile.

[@kellygriffith1773]

Listen to anything Def Leppard you will not be dissatisfied❤

[@geoffsullivan7902]

When I heard this song for the first time, it was the first time I ever heard Rap. This was in 1986/87. And this was the first time I heard rap and metal at the same time.

[@jakubfabisiak9810]

Fun fact: this song is often named as one of the top 3 "stripper" songs, along with Girls Girls Girls, and Cherry Pie.

[@michelleosborne1431]

They are still playing. Go to their channel.

[@therealmciver3761]

I saw this tour back in 1986 with Tesla opening up.

[@T1625-w7d]

It’s delivery was inspired from Run DMC Aerosmith Walk this Way!

[@WonderMommaOG]

Hi Bklyn... just wanted to say hi and let you know I'm getting ready to do a video on this song. You'll be in it for sure. Hope you are doing well!

[@Bklynreau]

Sounds good! Can’t wait to see I love your vids! I’m good!

​@@Bklynreau Aww sweety I'm just giving you a hard time..back in the 80s I didn't know this either cuz I wasn't into this kind of music either..now I love it!!! In fact I saw a thing on VH1 Behind the music in the late 90s when I learned of his accident! So there you go💖 Love your channel 💖💖💖💖

[@randyblankenship4000]

They are a good band and they have more good songs. If you think the 80s were good, check out the 70s. Bands like Bread, Ambrosia, Bee Gees, also you may want to check out Richard Marx, and Michael Bolton.
