ROCKIN!| FIRST TIME HEARING Def Leppard - Women REACTION

[@dawnngray278]

👏🏾Y’all 👏🏾don’t 👏🏾even 👏🏾know..this comes from the album w/nothing but classics.. made my senior year in high school extra special!!!

[@R_SENAL]

With this one they've done ALL the Hysteria singles now. Unless they do Love & Affection I think that's pretty much it. I would NOT recommend Excitable to them. 😅

[@randallmiller3162]

​@R_SENAL Haha I like Excitable.....I think Animal is my least favorite in the album

[@josephvoytus3694]

This was the best song off that OVERPLAYED album (especially Sugar). Their stuff from High N Dry album (and mania too) was heavier and just better.

[@jonathanmoon86]

​@@josephvoytus3694While I agree, this album really put them over the top, especially when Pour some Sugar was released

[@josephvoytus3694]

@jonathanmoon86 I cannot deny that.

[@ladybug-mv8tn]

Def Leppard was and is still my all time favorite band. I graduated in 1993. I love me some def Leppard

[@patriciamonsivaiz3305]

I've never understood why "Women" wasn't considered a hit. What's not to like??? Huge guitar sound, soaring vocals, a huge shoutout to womenkind. Just a truly hidden gem for those of us who know!! I've seen Def Leppard 15x and they continue to blow me away!

[@jordonlongley6576]

Because feminism. “One part child”

[@ajschroetlin2196]

Wasn't a hit? This is one of like 5 songs on the album that radio played nonstop. Every 4th song was DL. It's the first time I remember starting to dislike the music if I heard it ad nauseum.

[@Noclaf555]

So many hits from that album, it got lost I think

[@we5xz-gt1]

Yeah a lot of people (including Def Leppard) weren't too fond of it. I think this always sounded great on the jukebox, back in the day!

[@jkreviews9726]

@@we5xz-gt1yep first song in America and everyone had Pyromania on the brain even four years later. It didn’t blow my socks off as a teen but listening to it now it’s a great song. Every song off Hysteria is great. Love and Affection my personal fave. 🙂

[@traviscrockett3640]

Crazy that this is almost 40 years old. 1987. They were the biggest band in the world for about 36 months. RIP. Steve “steamin” Clark.

[@retro-robbo]

Def Leppards "Hysteria" album has always been one of my top 10 rock albums of all time. Frm the 12 songs on the album they managed to get 7 big hits, Women, Rocket, Animal, Love Bites, Pour Some Sugar On Me, Armageddon It, Hysteria, 6 of them in the UK's top 20. Even the non-hit songs on the album are amazing "Don't Shoot Shotgun" and "Excitable" sticks out. Just a force of nature this whole album.

[@nolanzeigler3781]

We need more Def Leppard reactions...

[@RazorsEdge1810]

I am sooooo glad you both loved this song!!! Women is such an underrated song. Have a great holiday weekend!!

[@rockero1313]

you're right. hard to believe this amazing song is so underrated. it's one of my favorites from "Hysteria"

[@jkreviews9726]

One of those songs that gets better over time. First song released in America and it never really took off.

[@RazorsEdge1810]

@@jkreviews9726 yeah, first US single off Hysteria. Not sure why it wasn't a hit.

[@TheBruceGday]

What was so major Women, was that this was the first single and video released from Hysteria, at least in America. We 1980s Def Leppard fans had been waiting for long years to hear from our band again. Then it finally happened with this song and video! It was our first glimpse of and listen to what Rick Allen could do with his drums post-accident. We were amazed and delighted with the new music! It was definitely less hard, more poppy, and slickly produced. Not our guys from High and Dry or even Pyromania, but they were back and the music was good! Women holds special memories indeed!

[@davidsutton9117]

This is the banger that starts the album, and it never stops rocking. The entire Hysteria album is a greatest hits album.

[@clintonstapleton161]

That whole album is “FIRE” to quote Jay. The soundtrack of my 1987,88 & 89. It was such a slow burn from when they released it so many hits, Gods of War, Animal, Pour some Sugar on me….awesome to see Steve Clark raising that Les Paul again!

[@lifewuzonceezr]

[@ndlouder]

"That sound" is brought to you courtesy of Robert John 'Mutt' Lang who produced not only this album and its predecessor 'Pyromania' but also The Cars 'Heartbeat City' and more famously AC/DC's ' Back In Black' amongst many others. All massive sellers. And then he went and married Shania Twain.

[@poisonlady1965]

A fave song and super fantastic era to have lived through...so much fun. Nothing today compares to stuff like this and I mean nothing!!!

[@TheCdavy]

An amazing track!..at the time we had not seen the band in over three years..due to Ricks accident and recording this new album…then one day in 1987 this video appears on the local video hits channel..Hysteria is released and the rest is history! ✌🏻🤘🏻

[@GNXXRAY]

This was actually the first release off the first album after drummer Rick lost his arm. Hysteria!!! This album is AMAZING. Try Gods of War next. It’s a killer song that was not released but should have been.

[@dathorndike4908]

This was the first video made after Rick lost his arm. I remember at the time everyone was so excited to see this video and see Rick playing with one arm.

[@ncjeephead4328]

I remember this song being played in a local car stereo shop with some massive subs. The bass hits so hard that it almost makes you short of breath. Just pounding low end thump.

[@gkiferonhs]

Trivia you may already know, but it shows a wonderful sense of humor. The Arkansas School for the Deaf chose as it's mascot the Leopard in honor of the band. Have a Thankful Thursday.

Def Leppard packs so many great songs into each album that they could release every single one, and they would all go top ten on the charts.

[@Jeff_n_Texas]

Ahhh the legendary style of Def Leppard ❤

[@liberaljag]

The first single released from Hysteria - and it stiffed (#80). They finally scored their first #1 single with “Love Bites” - the fifth single released from this album. They ended up releasing seven singles from Hysteria. Because of production and promotion costs, the album needed to sell 5 million copies to break even. To date it’s sold over 12 million in the US alone.

[@rockero1313]

still can't believe how low it got. it's one of the best songs from the album, and definitely one of my favorites

I was a young man when this was released and it rocked my world! One of my favorite albums, so many great songs and their sound is so unique. Gotta give a shout out to their drummer, Rick Allen for courageously learning to play the drums with one arm! They ROCK!

[@meltorme-ntor2933]

What I really want is that Def Leppard comic they use in the video! That would be cool to have!

[@garym6688]

On an album with Pour Some Sugar On Me, Animal, Hysteria, etc this track often gets overlooked, but I've always loved it. It was the first new song we got from them after waiting YEARS post-Pyromania and Rick Allen's accident. It was great having them back!

This was the first song that they released after Rick's accident. Everybody was waiting to see how this would play out. I think it turned out good for them.

[@Deborahtunes]

I never understood why this track stalled on the charts. I've always thought it was better than "Pour Some Sugar On Me". Had the pleasure of seeing DL in concert twice. Once in 2000 by themselves, and again with Styx and Foreigner in 2007...

[@kristashafer93098]

They share this on their “Historia”, rockumentary, but when they were getting ready to film this video, the producers they were working with were uncertain about how to handle filming post accident Rick Allen. His band mates told them to film him as they would film any other drummer and this wonderful video is the result.

[@lockstar169]

It's important to remember that this was our first listen to "new" Def Leppard in over 4yrs. Also our first listen of what Rick Allen sounded like on the drums, playing one handed. I think they chose this as the first single mainly because of all the tracks on Hysteria, it's the one that "most' sounds like it could have been written in the Pyromania era but it's pretty hard to miss how incredible this production is. In the last days of analog recording, Mutt Lange pushed the absolute limits of what can be done.

[@jp3813]

I believe "Animal" was released before this outside of the US & Canada.

[@HenrikKKristensen]

I'm sorry, but you are not hearing Rick Allen on this. I love him, he is a great man, great drummer, great artist and so humble. But the drums on Hysteria are programmed drum machines.

[@lockstar169]

@@HenrikKKristensen Yes, we know that now. It's suggested that Pyromania is the same.

[@eirikrdberg1161]

That is true. He played on the tour but not on pyromania either when he had two arms. Not cause he wasn’t good enough. Mutt just wanted things exactly like he could program it.

Hysteria was a turning point for them, where they went full pop-rock, but there are still some rockers on there, like this one. i don't think you have touched on their real early heavy stuff yet, like "Let it Go", "Saturday Night", "Lady Srtrange", and most of the rest of the High n Dry album.

Hysteria was one of the first Albums I ever purchased for myself. I listened to this album almost daily for probably five years straight then maybe weekly for the next several years. It's still one of my favorite albums of all time. You can put it in a cd player and just drive and never have to skip a song. That being said, I have followed your journey and I think its amazing. I appreciate the music you are exploring and turning others on to.

[@RetrofanFilms]

To give some historical context: This was not only the first video Def Leppard shot for their Hysteria album, this was the first appearance of drummer Rick Allen since his horrific car crash three years earlier that cost him his left arm.

Def Leppard is definitely one of the best! Fun fact: they recently released an album where they took some of their classics and reimagined them and recorded them with the Royal Philharmonic! It’s pretty awesome! You should check it out! 🥰

[@stevehamilton8824]

Great tune by Def Leppard. 🔥. Hysteria was a phenomenon when it came out. Def Leppard struggled after Pyromania, which produced some good hits but they needed this album to be a success. It was released in 1987 and this song was the first single released and got some attention, then the song "Animal" moved them up further, but it wasn't until the song "Pour Some Sugar" that this album went through the roof. This entire album kicks ass! Not a bad song on it and the Lep boys proved they had the talent and a sound that stood out that didn't mimic so many other rock bands of the day. The genius of Mutt Lange producing this helped as well.

[@catmanduu66]

The one and only time I got to see Def Leppard live was on the Hysteria tour. It was, if I'm not mistaken, the first "in the round" concert stage. They were brought out from the backstage area in equipment cases rolled down the middle of the floor to the stage. Before the encore they just hung out under the stage. This concert has a pro shot DVD/streaming version and you guys should watch it for your own enjoyment.
