Am I the only one totally drawn in, enchanted. captivated by Joes' eyes?? My gosh they're absolutely smoldering and intense and beautiful.

[@Serafina7]

No youre not alone! beautiful eyes😍

Anyone else not hear a word he's saying but just staring deeply into Joe's eyes? Omg 😍

[@DeflepploverjeSav]

Emerald Rose yes! Sexy

[@jessiemacdonald9826]

YES

[@mattbarbarich3295]

What! Are you deaf! (No pun intended) that's the great Donnie Sutherland- if I remember right- interviewing the guys on his tv music show Sounds which was on in the 70 -80s in Australia and one of the very few here who showed real interest and respect to rock and roll/ HM bands.Wish he was still around today.

[@oscarjetson128]

I remember in my second year of high school back in 1983, when I came into my class, I saw that in my desk, the kid from the class before mine had left a Parade magazine with these guys on the cover. I didn't know who they were, but I kept the magazine and read about Def Leppard and absolutely loved Pyromania and their earlier albums. I have seen Def Leppard in concert countless times. To this very day, I still have that same Parade magazine that I found in my desk, almost 40 years later!!! True story!

[@riversmcmullan5282]

Cool story! I love them too!

[@gonr.2426]

I still have the 3 LPs bought around 1983 too

[@mickeytwister4721]

I cannot express how much def Leppard has inspired my life. As a person born in 1996, when I think of the 80s, I think of def Leppard and Van Halen.

[@jocoolor1]

Young Joe Elliot 💜

[@AMarie-wp4wk]

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@defleppard-lover6298]

Joe is still the hottest of them all. July 2019

OMG - when Joe said “in 24 years of being alive” I thought I was going to choke. He’s so young in this interview ❤

Same! My son is 24. It's crazy to me. Time flies.

Joe is such a cutie omg my heart

Oh sav!!! He's so precious!!! Love the way he talks!!! Go dl

[@scottsmith1455]

Pyromania is such an unbelievable album!!

[@pepelinsuarez]

The best❤

[@Mina-ok5qm]

Joe's eyes are unreal!!

[@staceycoss4221]

I listened....yet yes, captivated by those beautiful eyes. He's had me since I was 12. My ex husbands hate Joe because they know I've loved him since I was a child.

[@avolite719]

Go masturbate somewhere else.

[@JessiLondonV]

Joe was such a babe.

[@adrianj3198]

Lol

[@adrianj3198]

I was just reading all the comments and came across your comment and i don't know why but it made me laugh.. But yeah greatest band ever I've loved these guys since I was 6 or 7 years old

[@christinalavancher2707]

He still is a babe

[@HappyGillian]

Agreed.

[@annetteslife]

And still is

[@eltravo2112]

Wish Rick Allen and Steve Clark could have been in this interview too!

[@donnahrynko9664]

Best band in the world!!!!!!

[@Galaxy2517]

Watching all of these old interviews, I wonder if it ever crossed their minds that they would end up being legends? Mention 80's rock to anyone older than 30 and I guarantee they will be high on that list.

[@MariaGarcia-nc2yi]

Omg Joe Elliott was sooooo gorgeous!!!😍

[@BelieverInChristJesus4ever]

The 80's ...what a great time to be alive. It was nothing like in today's world. The music was great, everything was so much better! When we used our phone, we actually used it for talking on it. Nowadays interviews everyone would have a cellphone in their hands. I'm actually addicted to my dang mobile phone and it's awful! I hate this feeling...I wake up, make a cup of coffee and get on my phone first thing and it's the 2nd thing I turn off 1st being the light. We used to talk it was so great! No nothing in your hands. We done things back then. So much stuff and without a stupid, addicting mobile phone!

[@openmindist]

Nope not me. Don't suffer from CPD (cell phone disorder). I want to enjoy the world and what is going on around me. Mind you I have one but don't use when I'm walking around enjoying nature etc. It's a global disease and it's destroying the world.

[@openmindist]

Exactly 💯

[@Janellbird]

Gorgeous guys!

[@sodapopinski690]

3 albums stand out in my mind from '83. Journey 'Frontiers'...The Police 'Synchronicity' ..and Pyromania.

[@thelaststand3560]

Best three albums from 83

[@teddybears4life240]

@@thelaststand3560 yes because VAN HALEN DIDNT MAKE ONE. 💗

I love joe, his eyes and his lips are my madness and his hair is perfect

[@babiebitch1756]

Last night, the 8th of November 2018, I saw these fellas in the flesh. I'll never forget that feeling.

[@myopinions8844]

Omg love there British accents :)

[@tonymartin7890]

Their 1st gig was in my old school. Before my time though.

[@shreddersteve2663]

+Tony Martin Wow that must of felt great for you!

[@tonymartin7890]

Not really. Only found out after i'd finished my schooling there. Got to see em back in sheffield arena though in 93. My ears still haven't recovered. Great live band though.

[@shreddersteve2663]

***** I've never seen them in concert I would love to though. Was the concert that you went to was nice and loud?

[@tonymartin7890]

Too loud. Was slightly deaf for days after, ears ringing. Love to do it again though. Top rock band in the 80's. Got a bit too poppy in the 90's 00's for me.

[@mafiablokes]

“Maybe a band called Iron Maiden” little would they know how massive that band would become lol

[@AllyDuffRose]

SAV - mmmm mmmm mmmm

[@jayannakelley9051]

2019: Look at you all now.. still a hard working Rockin out band 🔥

[@MJmysummerlove]

I love those videos from their earlier years. They were so young.

[@IronOrePickaxe]

That's Rick Savage, not Rick Allen

[@nickavenoso7851]

Yeah. You can tell by the accent.

[@kungpowmike9799]

AbbieNCody not there Appearance then Lol ?

[@nickavenoso7851]

Kung Pow Mike That also lol

[@Mitzi73]

Def Leppard and Iron Maiden were the rare bands that went from sofa to stadium in 5-6 years. Yeah they worked hard but they were lucky. Right place, right time. After they reached the initial success then their hard work began, to remain legendary.

[@larslevinberget9558]

Great artwork as well as virtually non-existing image

[@openmindist]

Exactly 💯. Hard work but a hell of a lot of luck too.

[@tammycreswell7193]

Is it just me or is rick savage still totally hot!!!

[@Price70]

Leppard Forever!

[@mtnmann72]

When the host says “it doesn’t appear you had a hard time at any time as a band” Fast forward to the recording of the next album when everything goes awry.

[@catshez]

Phil's shorts, are very short 😂 I loved the 80s 🤘👌🙌

[@gagebrwn]

It's ironic because the guy interviewing them makes it sounds like they haven't had any bad times....little does he know.

[@viol8r]

Until this point they hadn’t.. but yeah, little did he know..

[@openmindist]

​@@viol8rforming a band and refining it day after day with original music and multiple opinions takes a grind. I'd never want that life. I appreciate what they do.

[@rachx1129]

I wish Steve and Rick were in this! :( Thanks for sharing though!

[@juniora446]

If you think about it they are the best band ever listen to the music! It's amazing!!!!!!!!!!

[@cody.dw8]

So everyone's talking about how cute Joe is but has no one realized the adorable eye candy that Phil is?

[@newavatar2947]

Yeah if you like that just rolled off my buddy's couch look

[@conorsmith8551]

Phil looking like he came right from the beach 🏖️

[@wonkydogleathercraft6698]

great interview, very respectful and asked the right questions

[@manonvernon8646]

Man their story of how they were able to get a foot in the door is insanely lucky - having the opportunity to cover AC/DC and then being picked up by their producer. What are the odds of that?

[@openmindist]

Exactly 💯

[@EvelynDefStar]

My greatest love, love you guys

[@sendtoanthony]

It's great to be an old man. I can finally admit that these guys were beautiful. 😊

Rick Savage was cute in 83 too bad his looks are gone but Def Leppard rock

[@user-bu6tg6om5u]

Probably completely unrelated to this... but my childhood friend peter (my generation he has a guard certificate to me) was in contact in other worlds and got the band into some "places" through different contracts, or something. 😘😘😘

What the song playing in the background at 3:50

I may be a bit late but that’s Die Hard the Hunter

[@dominiclavin4434]

There's no such thing as a 'British Accent' Phil is from Hackney in London so he has a Cockney accent, Rick and Joe are from Sheffield in Yorkshire up north hence there mild Yorkshire accent

[@darrinconnor7]

+Dominic Lavin Basically what your saying is they have an English/British accent.

[@agoogleuser4443]

I LOVE the Yorkshire accent! Could hear them talk all day, LOL. I would have bought concert tickets just to see them and hear them talk.

@@agoogleuser4443 coverdale did have as well Before this "posh" accent in 1987 . That said in 1987 , 1989 interview sometimes when hes not paying attention it resurface a bit .
