Couple React to Def Leppard - Pour Some Sugar on Me

[@TheCornishCockney]

the drummer designed a kit using his feet as the 2nd arm and played better than before.TWO pedals and different time for both,now thats hard.

[@bln3576]

8 4 time

[@kilgh]

Def Leppard are a fave. No Covid, slightly before Aids I think too. Amazing the drummer had to relearn his craft after losing his arm. Just shows pure talent knows no bounds.

[@firefly19690]

This was my jam back in the day! Still love it. You have no idea ...Def Leppard's"Hysteria" album was HUGE!! Everyone was listening to it. They have so much great music. I don't think they expected this song to be a big hit. It really takes me back!!

[@VerchielxKanda]

Rick Allen lost his arm in a horrific car accident when he was 21. He joined Def Leppard at 15. They DEFINITELY weren't gonna abandon their friend, even though so many people were telling them to get a new drummer. They stayed by his side as he healed and re-taught himself how to play. He has a special kit in which his left foot pedal can emulate what his left arm could do. He still has PTSD from the accident to this day, and finds drumming and painting therapeutic. He has opened charities for wounded veterans and people who have had amputations.

[@brianhoch35]

I believe the drummer lost his arm in an auto accident. Pretty amazing he could keep doing it with one arm

[@andreadeamon6419]

Thankfully the accident happened on a nurse's lawn cause she took care of him and put the arm on ice. They reattached it but it got gangrene and had to be removed again. He then came up with the idea to use his feet and the rest is history

[@tigerbait2617]

They designed a drum kit to compensate for his lost arm.

[@scottscage6409]

And they retrained him.

[@miketheheartbreakkidvitale1783]

I saw them in concert on the Hysteria tour in '86 '87 or '88 whenever the album came out. (I forget, lotta brain cells been killed over the yrs) I believe his name is Rick Allen & he was fuckin amazing. They had the best stage show I've ever seen. They played in the middle of the main floor at Cobo Hall or Cobo Arena i forget. It was a revolving stage & it was unfuckinbelievable.

[@andreadeamon6419]

@@miketheheartbreakkidvitale1783 Seen them several times myself. Freaken fabulous

[@darrylblanch8463]

Love the vibe between you 2, full of fun. The band waited 2 years for the drummer to learn How to play with 1 arm after an accedent caused his arm to be amputated. They refused to perform without him. I've worked for them (I'm a roadie) drummer actually has more than 2 foot peddles,I remember setting 4-5 up for him but mostly it's just 2 used 90% of the time

[@scottyray8004]

I don’t care... this is one of my all time favorite tunes!! Takes me back to my Army days in Germany and Desert Storm... great great memories!! I wore 15 of these cassettes out playing this album at least! Now try something from the Pyromania album!

[@peggiebradley7434]

Music takes me back to that time. All these bands are taking me back to a memory from being young, and going to concerts. 70's and 80's were the best time to experience the music and concerts.

[@ginao8935]

Well I lived through the ‘80s and I’m here to tell you that it was Awesome😁😁😁Rock, Metal, and then the transition to Grunge.....all the music was great...lots of energy. Fun, fun, fun times....wish I could go back!

[@Jd-im4my]

Seen them several times and seen this tour. Their concerts were so much fun. They could really put on a show.

[@mottahead6464]

This was 80's Viagra. A lot of people got born because of this very song.

[@MkF3175]

Cherry pie by warrant was also a viagra song...

[@mottahead6464]

I don't know? .... You do, dude. You definitely do. This is Pole Dancing Ultimate Anthem.

[@TheAdventuresofTNT]

Hahahahaha

[@mubeenmohyi7151]

One of the best party metal band songs of the 80’s!

[@lordmortarius538]

Man I miss 80's Arena Rock. You can't help but get psyched up to this :D

[@Uriahjw]

I get transported back to those days too. Most of the 80's Songs do that for me. It was a great time to be a teenager with this music and the videos that went along with them. I miss the old MTV days and Max Headroom!

[@MrArcadia2009]

This is the jam, spreading the love of this song to those who react to it. Peace!

[@jimdunagan4180]

Yep car accident stole the drummers arm...and they stuck with him...he learned to play the songs and write new ones...crazy.

[@megarocks911]

Yea Def Leppard dedicated this song to all stripers, great reaction guys ty.

[@oougahersharr]

This drummer is listed as the seventh best drummer in the world! Officially.

[@BoxerRick]

This came out my freshman year. It was monster. Everybody in America rocked to this. I love y’all’s reaction. It’s hard to stay still when they’re cranking

[@sevenfallstrail4458]

He lost the arm in an accident they had just recorded an album instead of getting a new drummer and go on tour They waited for him to heal and learn how to play the drums with his feet .

[@bostonmitchell7058]

I seen def leopard for my first concert when I was 6 years old

[@zipahdeedoodah]

Hahaha! Stripper music!! Yes it was!!

[@johncotter2008]

Def Leppard has some of the best driving songs.

[@KingBeevr]

I can't begin to tell you what an epic concert this was for a teenager in 1987. It was... well, it was epic.

[@ChrisPage68]

I know - I saw them that year in Birmingham.

[@andrewschliewe6392]

I was lucky to see them 3 times on 2 continents in 87. 1st was Wurzburg, Germany in March, then in Chicago in September, then Manhatten, KS (Kansas State U) in October.

[@thiagosammett]

Def Leppard is one of my favorite bands ever. Their Hysteria album (where this song comes from) almost never made it out. Rick Allen, the drummer, had a car accident and lost an arm. Also, their guitarrist (and IMO heart and soul) passed away due to alcohol abuse. Despite all tragedies they've been around, they managed to deliver, as their producer Mutt Lange had asked, "a new Trhiller", which was an absolute success. This band is all about overcoming things most of us would never even dare. And that's whu I love them so much.

[@patrickmcgavin3441]

I agree with you 100% when i listen to the golden oldies from the 50's and 60's i feel like i lived through it despite being born in 1982.

[@cherylann2271]

I grew up in the 80s, was a teenager. Def Leppard is one of my favorite bands! I still go to their concerts, never miss one, pre covid of course. Rick the drummer lost his arm in an auto accident, I it was New Years Eve 1984. Def Leppard put off making Hysteria until he was able to join the band again. He designed the drum set and re-taught himself how to play the drums. Made his first live appearance in 1986.

[@roltyd22]

They're still going today!! Great band

[@Prairie1960]

I saw them twice in concert and they are awesome!

[@donaldshrader3174]

Cant miss other Def Lepars songs my number 1 band. They DIE HARD THE HUNTER

[@mattmoore7471]

These guys are just as good live than they are on the records. Even after all these years they still sound exactly like they did back then.

[@danielolson5378]

On a summer camp way back in 1987 everyone was playing this song and the entire Hysteria album including yours truly!! Further my cousins had a vhs cassette called Historia with the like best of DL in videos. This song was featured twice and man my buddy and myself God knows how many times we watched that cassette 😅

[@michaelmchone9239]

The 80s were the best of times..this song for me definitely takes me back! Ride the Wind by Poison is another feel good 80s song. Girls passing out all over the place lol..We girls loved Brett Michaels lol..great video ✌🤘

[@simplesimon8586]

Hey, love y’all’s reaction. You two are a sweet and cool couple. Def Leppard was considered the greatest arena rock band of the time...maybe all time. They set the tone for the 80’s and were inevitably playing in my background through high school and into college here in Texas. All their songs were great, whether fast paced or slower ballads. Keep with them.

[@kenmahoney5255]

Love the vid, great reaction to the vid guys. But let's for a moment talk about the friendship these guys have. For the drummer to lose his arm in that accident, and I remember when we all got the News here in the states, everyone thought they may just move on without him, and then to hear the band was going to make it work was f.. kn epic. Brotherhood! ☮️🌎☮️

[@JaymesRayLord]

When someone reacts to this song that means who ever reacted to it is a great youtuber and I like this song when I'm only 12

[@LadyAirenAshke]

Less than 10 for me. One of my earliest memories. Still favorite song.

[@LA-fz5qw]

This video was literally number one on MTV for almost a year!!!

[@mubeenmohyi7151]

Yes the drummer was in a serious car accident that caused him to lose one of his arms!

[@TheAdventuresofTNT]

Jeeeze

[@DanJackson1977]

Hey T., this is a band you should definitley do a deep dive into. This one does not represent the band well. Their early stuff (aka "10 Arm Def Leppard") was a lot more oldschool "metal"... and there are Tracks like "Rocket" and "Gods of War" that are off the same album as "Sugar" (aka 9 Arm Def Leppard) but are soooooo much more interesting. Other songs to check out.. Die Hard the Hunter, Rock Brigade, Wasted, Hello America, Stage Fright, Bringin on the Heartbreak.

[@fzoulcmbyl2134]

These are really good song picks for the early albums, I will 2nd his suggestion for Die Hard the Hunter, and Wasted. 👍

[@scarletjohnston741]

Bringing on the Heartbreak 🔥🔥🔥

[@TheMadeofhonor]

Good music never dies! You should check out the story of how he lost his arm and what the band did for him when he lost it.

[@ElectricAngel19]

I met this band when I was a teen. It was at Alpine Valley Resort in Alpine, WI

[@peterbone2478]

Rick Allen is awesome drummer even though he only had 1 arm.amazing

[@kathieovercash8414]

The 70's and 80's were incredible.

[@charleswilliams6236]

I lived through the 80s and all music was awesome back them

[@rons3634]

Went to a strip club one time when I was in the Marines. A raid by the Honolulu Police Dept was involved. (You don't wanna know)

[@luispreciado4745]

Cool. They even made a movie including how the drummer lost his arm.

[@ΝικοςΣαμαρας-β1δ]

The group make a special construction for the dramer in Japan when he was still in hospital this is brotherhood

[@bigjay123]

Yea I may have seen some 'Interpretive Dance' routines done to this particular tune. 😁 That was Def Leperd big comeback that year.

[@ember5837]

It was a good time saw them live in Fargo North dakota 1983.

[@Jeffstoyspokemoncars]

New to your channel..i had this on a record single as a kid..be a collector's item now lol

[@Jeffstoyspokemoncars]

Also seen them in concert a few years ago with Kiss...still sound great

[@alexakl6445]

They have so many epic songs, this one is probably their most well-known one. But so many fun ones to listen to. Please check out "Foolin'" and "Rock of Ages" - you will ROCK OUT! Great reaction!

[@johnwingate8799]

Hey.Missed yall. This was my favorite song in 88.

[@brendahipsher273]

It you the drummer 4 yrs to come back and play drums with only one arm and he started using his feet to play..the shit.

[@joeydemitro8976]

I HEARD THIS SONG FROM DEF LEPPARD POUR SOME SUGAR ON ME BY DEF LEPPARD AT THE STRIP CLUB TOO AND WHEN I GO TO THE STRIP CLUB TOO

[@huck944]

You can't beat 80's stadium rock.🤘🇦🇺

[@tracywoods486]

The drummer has one arm. He was on an auto accident. His name is Rick Allen. The guitar player passed away With the blonde hair, His name is Steve Clark.,Singer Joe Elloot. Seen them in concert. They were great.

[@davidstephens6462]

T. I'll tell you like I told Miss Tasha. I'm 56 and have been in the ATL music scene since the early 80's. I would love to accompany y'all down a rabbit hole into the rock/ country bars in NW GA. Specifically, Cobb, Douglas, and Paulding. Trust me, up HERE? Bars don't see color, they see new customers! If y'all have a liking to singing, Friday nights, right here in downtown Smyrna, at the OLDEST bar in Smyrna(my moms went when I was a teen-and younger), the Timbers is the place for Friday karaoke! You might hear anything from David Allen Coe, to P'Funk and the Ohio Players. And honestly? Y'all will be treated better than ME! We have history.

[@7475bluesman]

I remember summer of 1980, I saw this band on thier first U.S. Tour. They opened for Black Sabbath that summer. Where did the time go?

[@Johnrob1943]

Tash, you need to be a head banger to get the beat. 🤣🤣🤣 But I'll bet you'd be able to have fun dancing to this song. Try more Def Leopard. They're a fun upbeat band who has many great songs you can dance to.

[@evilvolts]

the song by Def Leppard I liked best was "Love Bites"

[@joeschmoe665]

Rick lost his left arm via seatbelt when his corvette rolled. After Rick came back with a specialized drum kit. Steve’s heart finally had enough of the drugs. This band has had more than their fair share of tragedy. But they still went on to be legendary!

[@vivianbrody510]

Love the Darth Vader cup, Bro!

[@evilvolts]

the drummer relearned to play drums after an automobile accident and the band waited for him to get back on his feet and when they did this was the first album and this album was their biggest seller up to that point.

[@charleswilliams6236]

They have been together since 1977 but the Drummer lost his arm in 1985 and he still rocks the drums

[@williamswiniuch7527]

Rumor is the lead singer would get some “special attention” as Bernie Mac would call it during long guitar solos at their concerts

[@paulr.3220]

A great reaction to a great party song.

[@odanne29]

How can you not listning to Def Leppard, i heard them first when i was 9-10..43 now.

Great reaction to a great song! Could you do Rock of Ages too?? You'll love it!

[@patrickmcgavin3441]

The album hysteria only sold 3 million copies until strippers got a hold of it they would play the heck out of pour some sugar on me if i remember correctly the album sold 5 million more albums in a week now it's about 21-25 million sold all because of strippers so this song is the definitive stripper song.

[@strigoi1313]

Pour some sugar on me, by Def Leppard and Girls, Girls,Girls by Motley Crue and Sweet Cherry Pie, By Warrant, are the top 3 stripper songs!

[@WineSippingCowboy]

Signature song. 😎 Part of outro was sampled + modified in order to fit the bridge of Everything I Do I Do It for You sung by Bryan Adams. No copyright violation 🙄: Mutt Lange is the cowriter of both songs! 😎 #30years in 2021 🎂. Part of this song was written by accident! 🤯 Mutt Lange + members of Def Leppard finished the rest of the song. I am not Foolin! L🤣L 🇬🇧

[@theowentz8919]

The sealbelt in his corvette came loose and ripped his arm off. They reattached the arm, but needed to remove the arm due to infection. He was 18 at the time.

[@FRANK-pp9qd]

Rick Allen is also a great artist (painter) God Of Thunder!

[@richardgrace5043]

I know this wont be read because of how late i am but.... def leopards first album (which this song was on) absolutely flopped (the lead songer has talked about it) and he said they were aitting around broke af wondering what they were going to do next becauae none of them had any money and they heard this song getting played over and over again on the radio station ao they called up the starion to find out why and turned out the strippers at the local club were requesting it for their dance song

[@MrDefzilla]
