I love how committed this band is to each other. That is so special and rare.
Really unheard about but Jason Andean and his band have been together for 20 years.
That’s one of the reason I have been a fan sense the beginning
Led zeppelin were the same when bonzo passed
Thats Me and my son Connor 3:32 Meeting and shaking hands with Rick @the Wentworth Gallery!! So Awesome!
Im so jealous lol.
Lucky you! So cool! He's an amazing guy for sure. Must've been a real treat to even just shake hands w/ him.
Its on my Bucket list to see DEF LEPPARD I love these Guy's 🎵🎤🎸🥁🎧🎚🎹🎶
PK nice experience!! i have a nice story. i live in the adirondacks in upstate ny . my friend john worked at a wood stove company.. a couple walked in with their child.. my friend noticed right away that it was rick allen.. so he decides to go up to the woman and he asks her to make sure is that rick allen? she says yes it is would you like to meet him? he said sure! so ricks wife calls rick over and introduces john to rick. johns telling him what a big fan he is of deff leppard.. so rick aks him, do you have any cds in your car? my friend john says yes i do ! so rick tells him to get them.. rick ended up autographing 4 cds, different albums, and draws a cartoon figure on each one. i didnt know untill this video rick was an artist.. my friend still has the cds along with a nice memory..
I got to meet him in Hollywood a few years ago when they went on tour with Kiss. Super cool guy!
I completely agree on that choice.
Hysteria does it for me, love that 80’s soft rock melody, and it just makes me feel awesome and unstoppable as any great rock song should.
Underrated classic of theirs if you ask me.
That song is myn and my man's songevery word is us,wen were infront of role and hear it we just look at each other and smile.
That song still gives me goosebumps every time I hear it, even 33 years later.
Agreed. Would listen to that album in the 80's start to finish just to hear that song. Best song in my favorite DL record even after all these years.
I always had an affinity for that joint. I don't hear it on AOR or classic rock stations as much as their other hits, but I always enjoy it.
marcus813 that whole album is a masterpiece, but I would agree. The song is great
My favorite band. When you hear of lead singers getting full of themselves and go out on their own, it's cool to hear of a band that sticks together even with a one armed drummer. You've got to love that.
God bless you Rick Allen!!!
I never knew he was good at painting. Those will be very valuable one day.
They can go for tens of thousands of dollars, and he uses the proceeds to help Wounded Warrior Project.
Very nice and good painting. Just
As good as his come back after his accident! He's one lucky talented cool, intelligent guy. Rock
On.@steverobertson1729
Totally agree with Hysteria! I still listen to a lot of Def Leppard and that one always gets played when I do.
I never find a moment where it doesn't fit, kind of a hopefull bit to it I don't know.
This guy is an inspiration to the world. Loses an arm, comes back an even better drummer and can paint!! He definitely represents what is possible if you don't give up- and what can happen when you have a huge support base.
*All Def Leppard songs are my favorite* 😍 .
BOOOOOCOTTONPICKEN YEAH MAYN BOOOOO DEF LEPPARD ROCKS!!!!!
ikr? No matter your mood or the day.. there’s an album/song for that 🌟✨
Me, too.
Bravo Rick!! I've been a Def Leppard fan since the beginning and will be to the end!!
One of the greatest metal drummers ever! Despite what he had gone through with his tradegy, he's what I call a awesome inspiration. 😘❤
Its not realy metal, but yes its rock, and yes he’s great
*hard rock
@@angadgianirogers1844 Maybe more like Pop Rock
@@edgarmontes5675 On Through the Night & High N' Dry were metal. Pyromania was hard rock, after that, it was glam rock and I didn't care for that stuff. I couldn't get into anything after Pyromania.
He's a metal drumming God! The machine gun double bass, blast beats, poly-rhythmic beats, etc. Lol. I'm breaking chops. He's good.
Really cool guy. It’s nice when somebody that you admire is so much more than their stage persona.
Rick is seriously one of my favorite humans 🙏🏼♥️ Such an inspiration for me and so many
incredible drummer before and incredible drummer after,the world loves it own,RICK ALLEN,i wept with you when it happened,all of those thousands of hours of practicing,god bless,you still got it,rock never forgets
They have been together thru good and bad times. They have never been under contract with each other.....thats pure dedication to the fans!!!!!!
What band 40 years in HASN'T had good and bad times. The very
Nature of life.
Rick Allen is truly an inspiration for anyone who has ever had a setback in life. He could have just hung it up. Instead he rose above his circumstances and has had a phenomenal career.
Love you Rick Allen you are my true hero and inspiration

The Thunder God himself. He's such an inspiration.
Wow! And his art! Some people have all the talent! Go Rick!
I was in Monster of Rock, Castle Donnington, 1986. Incredible.
Youre one lucky person ! Man I wish to live during those golden days of music .
@@Reymysterio1276 Was exactly 20 then, I´m 55! But, I´m happy I lived the 80´s when young. Music, art..... it was beautiful. Had a great time.
My all time favorite band. Thank you for the strength, the tears,the love we all feel when we hear you all!
Not only is Rick an incredible drummer but he is also an incredible painter 👨🎨
I'm so envious of people this talented. What a guy...
Best wishes Rick Allen!!
This band has been a big part of the soundtrack of my life, will always love their music! Very happy you guys stuck together through good and bad. Keep on rockin Def Leppard
YES!!!!!
💯
Ya know Rick is not only a beast on drums, he's also a great human being with a big heart. i have often seen him well up with emotion in his eyes as words are spoken about their success, their challenges, and overcoming his injuries and being blessed with being able to fulfill his destiny despite such a horrific career ending accident. what a great and gracious guy. i saw them in the round up very close in 1991, will never forget that show.
He's a very talented person a pure inspiration without him I never would've played drums. My dad introduced me to def leppard back in December 2019. I remember it as clear as day. We were sitting in a carpark near Bunnings Warehouse which is our local hardware store and dad said to me "Ryan there's this band I think you'll really like it's called def leppard ill put it on for you have a listen". I said wow that name sounds cool. So he put it on and he played the whole hysteria album on cd. First time I heard it I wasn't a fan but the second time is when I started to realise how cool this album was. Tbh I wish I could go back to that day and re experience that. It was powerful! Rocket has always been my favourite song from that album. I even grew my hair out like Rick! It was an experience I will never forget. From that moment onwards I became a huge def leppard fan! And Rick is the reason why.
This man is angelic. And he's a fine artist!? I adore him
He seems to have a sweet disposition. Great singing voice too!
He's amazing and I love that the band stuck it out with him. You rock.
What an amazing and inspiring story! He's one of the best.
He’s a true rock and roll hero!!
I've been in love with hie since I was 16 and am 48 and Rick Allen is amazing on the drums drums are my favorite

the band whose every member is faithful to each other ,,,and no one ever fired no one there...great band.salute
I'm pretty sure that one of the co-founders was sacked early on. Probably due to alcohol and turning up late, Joe Elliot was not impressed. Jo Elliot only joined, due to missing a bus.
Pete was fired bc of alcohol issues and not showing up early on. Later he said in an interview that it probably saved his life.
Thanks Rick more making my childhood so much better .Now 46 I look back at hysteria as an important time of my life.🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
Wowwww!!! I'm so glad this interview took place!!! What a gem he is, so humble!! An inspiration!!
Much respect and admiration for this guy. Long live Rick! Long live Def Leppard!
Hysteria is also my favorite. What a beautiful music.

"Photograph" broke the band here in the U.S. I saw that video so many times by the early '90s and I still enjoy it now. As for Allen, I've always had mad respect for him. I didn't know he was also a painter.
@@lordracula2461There are definitely a lot of differences from country to country even with the same language. I enjoy stumbling upon them!
Lordracula Rick Allen said Broke himself. As a Brit I’ve heard the word used in that context countless times. You must only use the queen’s English?
Ewwwww nnnnno NOT PHOTOGRAPH!!!!! MY LOVELY HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA IT SHOULD REALLY SPELL OUT LOVE BITES U MUPPET U. HAHAHA HMMM!!!!! XX LOVES YAH
Lordracula they got broke out to the masses here in the US. Like you break out of jail. I broke out, last week. 🇬🇧😎🇺🇸

“Phil was over at our rehearsal studios a few months back, and Neil Peart was in the studio next door, and he was getting prepped for the Rush tour. And Neil said to Phil: ‘If it wasn’t for your drummer Rick, electronic drums would not be where they are today.’ I thought that was a massive compliment, especially coming from somebody like him.” Rick Allen
That is awesome. Neil is not “The Professor” for no reason. R.I.P. To A Private, but Nice Humble Man and of course his Drumming needs no comment. Loved Def Leppard when I first heard Pyromania. I was blown away. I love many Genres like Blues, Blues Rock, Jazz, Jazz Rock. Prog( mostly British early 70’s w/ Genesis(Gabriel Era my Favorite), Hard Rock, Arena Rock, Some Metal, Soul, Older R&B, British Invasion( Beatles, up to Revolver my Favorite ), Some Country Rock w/ some Blues( Allman Brothers Band, ZZ Top, Some Skynard), Early Folk, some Alternative, Avant Garde, Some Glam Rick, etc...... Love Rick Allen’s Humility and Humbleness. His Artistic Talent is off the charts as Well. Great Talented Guy and Beloved Drummer of Def Leppard. Can totally see why he was irreplaceable despite his horrific injury. Such a Positive Guy in this Tough Crazy World of Pandemics and Injustice leading to Riots and Looting. Wish all would come together, my self included and unite in the Love of Humanity, instead of such divisiveness amongst many people. Easier said then done I guess. Anyway, Rick Allen Rocks totally.
@@philseida5238 not gonna happen, until everyone wakes up to what's "really" going on out there! Most of the rioters are paid, brutality videos are staged, and the "plandemic" is a planned scam to help change laws and bring in NWO!
@ vinyl city 2 .....I’m aware of all you said......I’ve seen Wellaware 1, Russian Vids, Mike Williams Sage of Quay, Silent Revolution, Mr.Sandpit, etc and some, of not all, discuss much of what you stated, especially Ed at Wellaware 1. Yes. Occupy Wall Street, Dallas Gun Rally, 9-11= Actors+ Narrative +Script. In the Dallas one, they have Katie Holmes in disguise as a Guy and Jamie Kennedy in disguise as well. Whether it’s Real, Fake or exaggerated has no effect on the damage to the Economy( Purposely done most likely to usher in a Digital Currency as well as implement The Potent and Deadly 5g as well as The Danger of the soon “required unfortunately” Covid 19( Elitest and Occult in origin ) Vaccine. The So Called “Enlightened ones”are having quite the laugh 🤭 at “The Unaware Sheeple”. If The Police killing is 100% staged as you said, Then the protesters close in proximity with one another gathering and marches should lead to another 2nd Pandemic of this Corona Virus=666 in Gematria Numerlogy; Occult prints of course. Even if the 2nd wave is exaggerated in contraction or fatalities, The same Stay at home, businesses and School closings, Curfews and dare I say “ possibly Martial Law as well”. Thank You for the post. You’re probably surprised I’m not one of the “Sheeple”. Hopefully it was a pleasant surprise and Lord Help Humanity in these “Crucial” times we face in the Present Day”. Indeed, “ The World is a Stage with Actors and Portrayers”....... From Shakespearean times as well as reiterated by The Incredible Musicianship of The Canadian Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Inducted now Rush( Sung by Geddy Lee, Lyrics by Neil Peart ).
You are spot on!

♥️ Rick is a great drummer. So glad he was able to play drums still.

Way to go Rick a perfect example of moving forward regardless of what happens great great great great
Love love Def Leppard great memories and awesome music
Rick came back after his accident and played the hell out of those drums. So great that the band never gave up on him, nor he on himself.
Rick Allen is such a great guy, and so appreciative of his fans. He keeps amazing me too. First being able to play drums with one arm, and now being and amazing painter. He’s really good!
This pops into my feed on today of all days, his birthday :) An inspirational, joyful interview with an inspirational, joyful man :)

What a remarkable man! I didn't realize that he's such an accomplished artist as well.
I Love Def Leppard! This band has been around nearly my entire life. We went thru the hardships with them, as well as the good times!
I saw Def Leppard with my mom in 2002. We had very close seats with a side view and could see Rick drumming very closely. My mother was just fascinated by it. Talked about it for the longest time afterward. One of my favourite memories 💖

What an AWESOME bunch of Guys - I had the opportunity to Meet Rick, SAV and Phil and they were so gracious. Took the time to talk to you. You can tell that their fans are special to them. Not the typical arrogant Rock Star. Def Leppard will always be my favorite..

I was so privileged to see him in concert!!! One arm or two ...He was Beyound Amazing!!!
Holy jeez...40 years?! Wow I feel old lol.
Rick is a true hero. I think we were all shocked he came back - that took sheer guts and determination, and I’m so glad his family, friends, fans and band mates all rallied behind him. Thanks so much for the last 40 amazing years Rick - here’s to 40 more! ❤️
Just 2 years only to get back on stage after a car accident rips off the drummers arm... Self taught and self discipline and time... Heals all things..
Thank you Rick.. your an inspiration to all musicians and to all who don't play or not in the music biz.. thank you thank you thank you... Love it !!!
It's just a miracle that he survived his accident in 1984 and the reason he spoke up about what happened to him and he has only one arm and still plays the drums with his one good arm and feet too and he is very lucky enough to be alive and well and I'm happy he's still around and I grew up listening to Def Leppard in the 1980's when I was little and I never forgotten how talented they were and I never forgotten how he inspire us fans to do anything things in life
that's an amazing group of band mates/friends you've got there, Rick!!!
What an amazing and talented person he is. Class act and mentally tougher than most of us.
An Amazing Drummer! An Incredible Survival, which I Truly Appreciate! Rick has given a Generation of People Hope and Inspiration... Now his Artwork gives us More Spiritual Insight into the Man with Endless Inner STRENGTH! Love You Rick Allen ❤♥

These guys have become a favorite of mine more & more as time goes by.
The nobility & honorability of them when they decided to stand by Rick after his accident was life altering for all of them & us. What a spectacular example of love, faith, strength, personal growth & God's grace.
They all went through a lot, many times through the years, as have we all.
Clearly, their integrity is admirable as far as their loyalty to one another as a band family.
Hats off, in no small way to their wives & loved ones also. Families have it rough. May their sacrifices be richly rewarded by God Himself.
No human on earth is perfect, these men are no exception, but they are none-the-less well deserving & loved Rock & Roll Royalty.
Be Safe.
Be Well.
Be Good.
Carry On.
And Thank You for your contributions that have enriched our lives.
May God continue to bless each of you, watch over, comfort, support & guide each of you as your journies continue to unfold.
Amen.

May I add my two cents and say, I have enjoyed so many of their songs, but I think maybe my favorite could be, "Two Steps Behind".
•💟•
I reckon nnnnno yah hey mayn that it JUST GOES TO SHOW THE COMMITMENT THEY HAVE TOWARDS EACH OTHER HMMMMM COMMITMENT HONOUR N RESPECT HAHAHAAA HMMM I MEAN ITS NNNNNOT THAT HARD IS IT DUDE!!!!! XX LOVES YAH
There is so much to say about this guy and all of it is great. Overcame impossible odds, a fantastic musician, a fantastic artist, and he actually has a favorite song from his own band. Musicians almost never tell people what their favorite is of their own work, they always deflect. But he was direct and honest and I love the choice. That is my favorite song too.
Really good reporting on a great band. No over the top sensational nonsense, there's an appreciative attitude, good questions and chemistry between interviewer and interviewee. Well done!
Rick Allen is the Thunder God,he is a true inspiration to me, and proves you can achieve anything you want to in life,he is my favourite drummer of all time.i have a lot of Love And Respect for him.
Horrific tragedy story it was such a "shock" to the World when it happened back in the 80's. Thank God that the Def Leppard🌟 Drummer Rick Allen has a strong "will power" n God saw him through with the help of his love one's n his band mates. 💙Peace
I have always and always will love DEF LEPPARD they r the best
I would love to meet them
I am an Official Fan of Rick Allen from 1986 when I started Listening to Def Lep.The Gorgeous & Sweet & Beautiful Lady who took the Interview is just is an Angel, sooo nicely spoken,so Kind & So Well Disciplined that I have became her Cherised Admirer.God Bless Both of the 2 Legends on this interview.
Such an inspirational person. I love you Rick Allen
PHOTOGRAPH is the song that did it for me! When I first saw the video on MTV, I was hooked. They went on to become my all-time favorite band, even today! I simply adore them! They have displayed true friendship when Rick lost his arm! They didn’t throw him away. They kept him because they are not just friends! They are a family! Pure and simple! Best band ever! I am a fan until the day that I die. I want their music to be played at my memorial service! True artists! Peace.
First & foremost, GREATEST DRUMMER EVER!!! Rick & I share the same favorite song & it's my favorite song of all songs, ever...period!!! I have seen them several times in my life. My 1st time was the Hysteria tour @ the NEC in Birmingham, England (the famous In-the-Round tour). I lived in Banbury, England & was stationed @ RAF Upper Heyford. I have always loved their story & the fact that they waited for him to adapt & overcome, to continue on with them!!! I love that he donates his artwork proceeds to Veterans, Thank-You Rick, on behalf of All Veterans!!! Signed, David Lovett USAF Desert Storm Veteran🇺🇸!!!
Wow; his artwork/TALENT is off the charts; this guy isn't a one trick pony, but a super, multi-talented artist. Me and a paint brush aren't friends, but I love his style.
You can sense and feel the Honesty in his person and personality. This man have STRENGHT within him....
I had sepsis. I went through a lot. By watching this and other interviews with him. Has helping me cope when I almost died. I went through 7 surgeries in 6 weeks. I hope one day I can meet him personally. To this day I still struggle with my PTSD when fiancee died a couple years ago and my mom died after I got out of the hospital. Last 2 years not good for me. Mr Rick Allen is the best drummer of all time. He influence me in so many levels
Hysteria is an amazing song. Even all these years later it gives me chills and takes me back to a really happy time in my life.
Same here
Best drummer ever! ❤️
When I heard the song Hysteria on the radio for the first time I fell in love with this amazing band Def Leppard! 😊😍😍😍❤️❤️❤️
He’s the coolest. We share the same favorite song of theirs. Love them and the way they stick together as a band of brothers.
One of my favorites bands.
Thanks for those greats songs. God bless them all.
Now that's what a real band supposed to do ! How many Bands do you know would have waited on him to get better and do everything he had to do to play !? Nothing but RESPECT for this gentleman and the whole band as far as that goes .
Absolutely amazing
My favorite band, even though they started before i listened to music, have seen them several times in front 5 row seats, they put on a great show every time. Can't wait to see them again, yea the tickets cost quite a bit, but it's always worth it.
How about that - Rick Allen and I have the same favorite Def Leppard song! My favorite version of it is as played live in Denver 1988, on the In the Round In Your Face video, really cool intro riff there. Bonn 1992 on the In the Clubs In Your Face EP is a close second.
Hysteria is my favorite song too. Will listen to every version of the song I can find and repeat it back to back more than once! Great paintings so talented
One other thing I do to this song that I rarely do with others is I love to listen to the rhythm guitar. It stands out and I can almost here it better than any other song

Holy shit he can paint !! My god unbelievable talent
Thank you for posting this. Thank you Mr. Rick Allen for doing this interview. I have always loved Del Leppard's Music, and look forward to the next time I can go to a concert.
Rick's a truly beautiful man.
Been a fan of his drumming since On through the night. Really tight playing on that album. Hard to believe he was so young at the time. Had he not lost his arm, he would have surely been considered one of the best in Rock today.
The man’s playing and surviving his accident are astonishing to me. I always see him as a hero to perple who are suffering and mention him
To them.
And that what makes this band crowds above the rest! Upmost respect for them
Rick Allen awesome guy!!!
Hysteria has been stuck in my head today 😎

Love and respect to Rick Allen for his determination and also to Def Leppard for standing by him. Not many bands would do that. Rick needs to paint himself for his “Legends” series! Awesome drummer and awesome drummer!
A combination of the album Hysteria and Pyromania has been my workout playlist for 35 years. Hysteria was first, as it was 68 min long, and I could go through it twice and know I'd done at least 2 hrs. of a workout. Still is the majority of my playlist for workouts, and I still have the original cassette. When I heard about Rick's accident I was just getting acquainted with the band, and was hoping you guys could continue. I was so happy, especially after seeing Rick at the drums again, that you kept on. The album I think you guys got panned on was one of your best Slang. Never had a song make it to my play list, but it was a good album to drive back and forth to work with. I'm almost 57, and you guys make me so happy to see you still going strong. I just saw a painting by Rick that just blew me away on this vid. The angel in the middle of the buildings. Absolutely stunning. Keep it up guys.
whitefam2000 Billy’s got a gun is a must have song for working out!
High and Dry easily is a harder rocking album of theirs. All of their songs are amazing. But high and dry makes workouts more pumped
Gregory Witt on through the night too
I think Rick Allen is an amazing person and drummer!
FANTASTIC Interview! LOVE LOVE LOVE you RICK!
Rick Allen is a beautiful human being
Rick Allen, absolutely we love you, we love Def Leppard, the greatest rock band

Great drummer, great artist, great guy. Thanks Rick you are a true inspiration.🥁👍
My favorite Rick Allen drumming was on Photograph.
Rick is an artist in every sense of the word.

I've been a fan of this group since to 80's. Always so humble. Rick is an inspiration to all who have suffered a tragedy but gotten back up, smiled , and kicked ass!
Wow. Rick is really something else…. Love ya Rick…….
