    Rick designed that drum kit himself after his accident where he lost his arm. The story is so inspiring. Amid severe depression and suicidal thoughts at the realization that he would never play drums again, he determined that he wasn't going to give up. He designed and had his own, one-of-a-kind drum kit built and went on to become one of the most iconic rock drummers of all time.

      @@vincentdarrah Actually, I heard Joe Elliott designed the drum set for him. I think it's in the Def Leppard documentary I have. I was at the concert of the 1st tour they did after he lost his arm. He did and amazing drum solo in the middle of the entire show that I will never forget! Joe designed it so that what would be played with the missing arm is actually played by the foot that isn't playing the bass drum.

    Rick Allen, the drummer, lost his arm in a horrific car accident when he was 21. He had been with Def Leppard since he was 15. They DEFINITELY weren't gonna abandon him, even though so many people were telling them to get a new drummer. They stayed with him and waited for him to heal and re-teach himself how to play. He has a special kit in which his left pedal can emulate what his left arm could do. He still suffers PTSD from the accident to this day, and says drumming and painting is meditational healing for him. He's opened charities for wounded veterans and people who have had amputations.

    • @racheltrezise1132
      @racheltrezise1132 4 місяці тому

      I remember him saying in interviews, that because he came back so quickly, he didn't realise that he had PTSD until someone else brought it to his attention, he hadn't dealt with everything, and that's why he started to have his problem with alcohol and he always felt bad that he couldn't have helped Steve Clarke more with what he was going through.

    The 1st time I saw Def Leppard was before Rick had his accident. Already a super fan, when we heard he was coming back with only 1 arm, me and all my friends went nuts when they went back on tour. Since they 1st came out I have seen them over 30 times in concert and what you hear in concert is the exact sound on the radio. In the early 90s I married a stunningly beautiful black woman. When I took her to her 1st Def Leppard concert and she fell in love with the whole band. I took her to see her last concert before she passed away from Leukemia. But she lost it when and for 13 years before her death she loved the whole band and we never missed a concert within 100 miles while she was alive.

    I love that the band stayed with Rick as well, it shows how much they respected him, they could have just replaced him easily I'm sure but they thought enough of him to want to wait until he was ready to go back on the road with them. I read somewhere that he redesigned his drum setup himself from his hospital bed after his accident so that it would be more customized to fit what his new needs were going to be so that he'd be able to learn how to play the drums all over again basically. It's so impressive that he was able to re-learn everything that he'd learned already and had been doing for years, he had to learn all over again with just one arm but not only was he able to do it but he was able to do it so quickly too. He's really an inspiration for people who have disabilities, don't ever give up what you love just because your circumstances change, you can really do anything that you set your mind to if you are willing to put in the effort for it.

    I am a child of the 80's and I was a total "Def Leopard head". Now that the world has moved on from CD's I still own one and it stays in my truck at all times. It is the Hysteria Album. I went to their show just a couple years ago when they were touring with Journey. Sold out arena and we had 5th row seats. It was AMAZING!!!!!! If you can go you should. You should all check out their earlier stuff. Rock of Ages and Photograph are two of my all time favorites.

    I have TWO FAVORITE BANDS and you've now officially reacted to both in less than a month! First off, Def Leppard is, in my opinion the best rock band ever! I live in Maine and saw the for 1st time on February 15th, 1999 and I haven't missed one concert since. The other band!!!! THE MONKEES!! THE MONKEES, THE MONKEES, THE MONKEES!!! When I was about 8yrs old I decided to sit on the couch with my dad to see what he watching. It was "The Monkees". I loved it so he played me an 8-track mind you of "The Monkees Greatest Hits". I loved it and now at 44rs old I can proudly say that I've been a MONKEE JUNKEE for 36yrs! The song "Pleasant Valley Sunday" is my favorite. I love you guys so much. You always make me smile.

    They absolutely still tour. I've seen them 3 times. They're still a killer man to see live even though they're a lot older now. They've held up remarkably well. And if you were a big fan of theirs back in the day, you would get to see a concert where every single song you heard for 2 hours was a song you knew. This album and the one before it were the biggest selling rock albums of all time when they were released. This album is considered their masterpiece. If you want to have some fun, listen to the whole album. There isn't any bad songs. Something that a lot of today's artists can't even sniff.

    Fun fact too; This was their first album/single after coming back from Rick's accident. It was a smash hit, and made them far more popular than they ever were before. So in a way, Rick's loss was actually a gain for not only himself, but for the entire band also. One of my favs from them are "Have you ever needed someone so bad".

    YES! So glad you are watching this with an awareness of how incredibly awesome The Arm story really is. Def Leppard was at THE TOP of their game when Rick Allen had his accident; they could have replaced him so easily -- and you know they were getting pressured by Money Heads around them to get a new drummer and get back on the road. The fact that they didn't is part of what makes them so great.
    True story: This video was the MTv comeback for Def Leppard after the accident. I was in college when it came out, living in a big house with 5 other roommates, and we did NOT agree on music. (An R&B fan, a metal head, a rapper, a Rasta, a Rockabilly freak, and me, the EMO Chick.). The video came on, and Rap Fan yelled for all of us to come watch on the one TV in the house (that we usually fought over). We all watched, and were SCREAMING by the end, it was just that powerful to see that Rick Allen was "back" and Def Leppard was still "them." For that one moment, we ALL loved Def Leppard. Then, we looked at each other in awkward silence, Rap Fan changed the channel, and the rest of us went back to our cold, dark rooms.
