THIS IS A MUST LISTEN!..| FIRST TIME HEARING - Def Leppard - Photograph REACTION

[@stpetie7686]

Everyone is justifiably impressed by Rick's ability to come back like he did. And so am I. But you gotta respect the other band members for stopping work and waiting for him to recover and learn to play again. I'm not sure many bands would have done that.

[@moehio]

That's mainly because the band DIDN'T stop working. They continued working on their studio album right after the accident as they figured that's what Rick would have wanted them to do. To Rick's amazing credit, he was hitting the drums again 8 weeks after they removed his arm. Amazing.

[@jimfussell5455]

That's a great point. That kind of caring, kindness and loyalty is rare. Makes me like them even more.

[@robertgaydos1354]

My feelings exactly! the Lads have integrity!

[@edithkeller9694]

Well said....We thought back in the day when Rick was seriously injured/almost died from his auto accident that would be it for Def Leppard, but they stuck by him and got bigger and better with him..

[@D5301]

Wdym? They never needed to stop. Pyromania, Hysteria, and on where recorded with a drum machine. Only the cymbals are real but they are dubbed over.

[@chipclatto8831]

Preach!

[@rray848]

This song is from the album "Pyromania" (1983)... The whole album is Great! Not a bad song on it... They had 5 radio hits off this album... "Rock! Rock! (Till You Drop)", "Photograph", "Too Late for Love", Foolin'", and "Rock of Ages". The album after this was "Hysteria" (1987) Rick had his accident in 1984... the long pause was due to him recovering and learning to play again. Hysteria is another album that is great front to back. They had SEVEN radio hits off this album... "Women", "Rocket", "Animal", "Love Bites", "Pour Some Sugar on Me", "Armageddon It", and "Hysteria".

[@carlpeterson8182]

I love Pyromania. The last great Def Leopard album. All songs are good and many are classics. My favorite is Foolin followed by Too Late to love.

[@dawnpatrol700]

And the picture sleeves from all 7 of the 45s from Hysteria, form a big puzzle of the album cover

[@geneholland1188]

Lol, a radio station in the States was taken over by the DJ (I guess he had a nervous breakdown) and played Def Leppards Rock, Rock, til you Drop repetitively for several hours! Lol. I seem to recall hearing about it on the news as a teen.

[@mizzwinter28]

Pyromania, GREAT album!! 💥💥💥❤️❤️❤️

[@karlsmith2570]

I think that they had actually reacted to a couple of songs from Def Leppard's Hysteria album, especially since Jordan keeps referencing the fact that Rick Allen still had both arms in this video and when they reacted to "Bringing On The Heartbreak"

[@ericlizpralle7650]

This song is a masterpiece!!! It never gets old and is so rich and complex! And it’s one of the most important songs in their catalogue. I would go as far to say it’s what made the majority of US fans fall in love with them!

[@nancysmith8626]

Agreed. This song coming over the Top 40 airwaves for the first time in '83 sounded like a revelation! I'd never heard anything like it and knew it was something special. It's what got me into them, for sure.

Mutt Lange produced Def Leppard, he also wrote a lot of songs.

I live in Kansas. We have the State Fair here every year. One year Def Leopard came to entertain us at the Grandstand in the Fairgrounds . Def Leopard put on a terrific show. No doubt about it. What I enjoyed almost as much as the show was - how annoyed, irritated and shocked the non rock fans were about how loudly the band played . They played like they were at the Forum East in 1970! They were all a little heavier and some sightings of gray hair were rumored to have been seen. But they played and sang the same as if it were still the 80’s. It was a fun night that was had by all rock fans that night.😎💋

[@Mr.56Goldtop]

Steve Clarke is often overlooked as a great guitar player. He contributed so much to the band's sound and music. Just a tortured tragic soul, gone far too soon. 🎸.

Clarke was Def Leppard's principal song writer (shared fairly equally with Pete Willis until his firing, and after that (really from "Pyromania" until his death), he easily did the lion's share of songwriting). By anyone who is a fan of Def Leppard, he is far from underrated either as a guitarist or anything else :)

I’ve loved Def Leppard since I first heard “Bringing On The Heartache” thank you very much for that reaction. I agree “Photograph” really shows us Joe Elliot’s vocal range. They are still together and will most like return to touring next year. (If I am wrong please let me know.) It was so emotional for the band when they were Inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. It was so awesome to be there. Joe Elliot sings better than ever and the rest of band are still amazing. My favorites are “Love Bites” and “Too Late for Love”. Thank you very much.

Seeing people a lot younger than me getting that same rush of excitement, listening to music I grew up on.

Hopefully they will tour soon in your city or close by and you can go see them...even though they're in their 60s, except for Rick, he's 59, their shows are phenomenal.

I still have a hard time watching any music video where the Def Leppard drummer still has both arms. It must have been amazing to not only continue being a drummer, but also inventing a drum kit specifically made for only one arm, the rest of the drums were done with foot pedals. Truly a masterpiece of engineering. I don't know if he still uses the original version of that set or if he has more.

This was my first hard rock album, and I never tire of listening to it, even today. I loved this reaction.

When someone asks me who was my #1 favorite band in the 80's ... I say Def Leppard. And that says A LOT, considering I could identify about 2,000 bands from that decade (my teenage years). All of Def Leppard's hits were jams, and they had the most hits on any one album, and several hit albums (or tapes, that you would play in your car, driving around jamming to tunes). They're not my "all time" favorite band these days, in fact I've come to not have an all-out favorite, but for that time, absolutely they were. I've seen them twice on tour in the early 2000's. and they still put on a great show.

For me it was Van Halen.....but Def Leppard was in the top 5. Pyromania and Hysteria were epitomes of 80's hard rock. IMHO hey started to peter out after that though (along with changing of musical tastes occurring at that time).

I can’t express enough how much this song EVERYWHERE in 1983! Must have been on MTV every other hour for a year and a half.

[@twilarolff8021]

They are sooo good live! I remember, as a teenager, coming down the steps at this concert to the edge of the rail, and he sang up at me. Omg, it was awesome, lol. ❤

[@ursanator]

Seen them 3 times - 1 outdoor rockfest , 1 arena and 1 arena where stage is in middle and fans all around stage

[@twilarolff8021]

@@ursanator Hey, do you remember a concert where the drum stage rose up and turned over while he was playing? It just went upright so you could see him play, right? (Trying to remember how far they tilted him....)

[@shaunhines7883]

Oh my Gosh!! Hahaha!! "THE COW BELL"... My twin sister made me go with her to see them in concert and it was absolutely amazing... watching the drummer was just as fascinating as their music... 🎶💞🙏🏻🔥

I discovered Def Leppard when I was 12 and sneaked into my uncle's room and started going thru his album collection. He came home and caught me but instead of getting mad he sat down on the floor w/ me and introduced me to more of his collection and that was when I also discovered Styx, ACDC and so much more. But Def Leppard was and always has been my favorite band.

[@terifringer8560]

They are so good live! They usually have an amazing laser light show. So cool!

[@mirage123451]

As fans of Rick Allen and of the bands vocals I think you'd really enjoy the studio album version of "Rocket.' Its 6 minutes long but so much better (imo) than the shorter single version.

[@paulwalsh2344]

My FAV Def Leppard song and by a pretty wide margin too ! Such a fantastic song !

[@yvonneclaes5208]

Oh man, I've seen Def Leppard live twice as a teenager when Rick had both his arms and Steve was alive, then at least half a dozen times as an adult when Rick lost his arm and when Vivian was part of the group. They are AMAZING live. Joe's vocal's are always on point, as are the group's guitar, bass, and drums. I admit I prefer Steve Clark's guitar playing, but who doesn't? He was a legend!

[@Immrtal1]

Love it! Another fan in the books! One of my favorite bands. Keep doing Def Leppard songs!! (and yes they still tour to this day)

[@seannovack3834]

I've seen this band in concert 4 times, they are amazing showmen and Joe Elliot is one of the best front men out there. As a drummer myself, Rick Allen is in my Top 5. Another you'd like is the late Jeff Porcaro from Toto. Check out the song Rosanna

[@tyrannicaltypomichaeltester]

Def Leopard always sounds great and fun to drive to in the road. This one always brings back memories second MTV video I ever saw..And fair grounds Hurricane ride that always blasted this song good times

[@clydewest2853]

I had the pleasure of seeing them live back in the day. They were great!

[@jesterforhire]

Me too! This concert actually. I saw them in Seattle in the mid 80’s or so. They were INCREDIBLE!

[@psadoug]

saw def leppard in 87 and 2019 and were great both times. they still tour.

[@joyhruska9377]

Oh yes! The 80's and Def Leppard! Perfect mix.

[@cindyturner8756]

I saw Def Leppard in concert back in the late 79's or early 80's. It was their Hysteria Tour. They really rocked. I like 'Foolin' ; Animal and Rock of Ages❣️

[@PriestessOfNothing]

GREAT EFFIN SONG!!! My favorite Def Lep song ever. That melody is sweet, and you can sing to it, which is something I think is a qualifying factor for a great song. Joe Elliot knows he's not the most technically proficient singer there is, but it never stopped him. Nah, Photograph wasn't specifically about Marilyn Monroe, but it definitely could fit the song.

[@josephheitzmann7745]

I got to see them Live in 2022 on the Stadium tour.. they still have it!!… the best of the night
