Not a deep cut, but not one of the "hits" from the album either. At least not in the states. They had the three videos (Rock of Ages, Photograph, Foolin') and this was a TV appearance from Europe I assume. Maybe it was a hit single in Europe but not here, although it is a live staple. Correction, it was a single and reached #9. News to me, lol. I probably don't remember it beign one of their hits because there was no MTV video for it.
@@JayTor2112 Yeah, I only knew of it from big Def Leppard fans turning me on to it. Then it became a given on my mix tapes and was just a part of the Def Leppard expectations.

Deep cuts. Hard when dang near everything they did during this part of their career everything turned into a hit. Mirror Mirror, Me and my wine, Rock brigade, lady strange “maybe”
Not only does Rick Allen have both arms, but riffmeister Steve Clark is alive and well crushing the solo in this song. Also, "Pyromania" and "High 'n' Dry" are two albums I can listen to end to end. Not a single skippable track on either.
Rule of thumb: If there's a music video for a song, it's not a deep cut. Deep Cuts are always album tracks, most would call them hidden gems (my favorite type of song/band).
Yes, I thought Pyromania was more consistent than Hysteria. There are no songs on Pyromania as weak as Don't Shoot Shotgun, Run Riot or Excitable. However, I thought Hysteria's highlights burned a bit brighter than Pyromania's.
Oh to go back to those GOLDEN 80's! I'm so grateful I was actually there for those years. They were the most fun times of my life! Thanks for taking the journey back guys. ♡♡♡
@@krusher70 I will never get over his loss and still grieve for him and all that was lost on that awful day. So much talent and no self confidence. He never felt good enough, little did he know of the impact that his music had on so many people who revered his talent and him as a person.
@karenglenn6707 such a huge loss. I was very fortunate to see him in the 80s during the high n dry and pyromania tours. I thought his guitar melodies and his riffs were amazing..definitely one of my favorite guitarist ever.
There ya go! LOVE Def Leppard. I was a junior in high-school when Pyromania was released. They were Big with a string of hits off this album. I got the cassette tape in my Christmas stocking December of 1983. Had tickets to see em in Knoxville that summer. Unfortunately, my Grandfather passed away and I was unable to attend the concert, as the funeral/burial were out-of-state. I gave the tickets to my girlfriend so she could go see the show with a friend. Love this band. Thanks for the cool pick, Watchin and diggin it, just an old Rock & Roller outta Gatlinburg, Tennessee. Go with God. Peace.
one of my favs by DL. Def one of the best on Pyromania. This is when they still rocked out hard. Hysteria was great and polished, but def more poppish than the hard rock they did on High & Dry (my fav album) and Pyromania.
This album was HUGE when it came out. Just like when Motley Crue came to town the first time, and the next day half the school was wearing their swag -- same for when Def Leppard played their first big show in Seattle for this album release, half the school was wearing their shirts, hats, scarves, etc., it looked like a takeover, hehe.
Man I remember when this came out; was on the radio all the time. Bought the cassette 3 times because I wore it out the other two. Whole cassette/album is absolute fire!!
I've literally listened to this song thousands of times. I was 12 when the album came out and they are still in my top 10 favorite music artists of all time.
My absolute favorite song on this incredible album, with "Foolin" a very close second. I was fortunate enough to see Def Leppard on this tour as well as the High 'N Dry tour - absolute fire and one of the best live bands around!!
This album...popular...deep cut...was popular and some songs hit deep but it was straight up 100% rock. It put Def Leppard on the map and rightfully so. Their best album hands down. Was awesome seeing this concert tour. At the time, there was no such thing as "hair" metal. There was just metal. The 80s were grittier than the hair and clothes would lead those who came after to believe. Those years were gritty. They were real. They were unhinged.
The live version of this song on the "In The Round, In Your Face" home video which was released in 1989 blows this original studio version completely away. I saw and recorded the live video off of WTBS Night Tracks video TV show when I was in the 8'th grade and loved this song. But a couple years later when I listened to the Pyromania album version I was disappointed it just didn't measure up
Lex is RIGHT, I was there lol it was that time, I think she would of LOVED it back then especially in a girls college dorm having their girl parties listening and going out. shes a happy girl
I remember I heard someone once say “ Def Leppard was the Beatles of the 80s “ and I can see that .. these guys have such a great collection of amazing songs 🔥❤️🙌🏻
@@floorticket I’m sure they were speaking on how great the songs were .. not influence.. they meant that Def Leppard made song after song after song that were all just amazing.. the same way the Beatles made hit after hit and all the albums were so great back to back to back ..
Nobody fucking said that, ever. I know I was there when this shit was new. (Ya, I'm old) This was a decent album, but the beginning of the end. Def Leppard was a stadium rock band. "On Through The Night" was their best album, this album was far too comercial, and has Mutt Lange's dirty fingerprints all over it. Def Leppard was a good band, but no where near the top, in terms of Hard Rock or Metal from the 80's,
@@mr.spongylikeaboss4987 I’m pretty sure I heard someone say that .. doesn’t mean they were .. but like I said I can see why they would since they had a bunch of great songs .. don’t tell me they didn’t have amazing songs bruh 🤷🏻♂️😂
Born in 1970 I was 13 in 1983 this album Quit Riot Metal Health ACDC and Van Halen 1 were the four albums I bought with my birthday that year..all great
I would say this was a popular song, for anybody that knows Def Deppard. Off the 1983 Pyromania album. Though people call it hair metal, I call the glam bands, hairspray metal. Slayer band members did have long hair but were not "hair" metal.
I was 10 years old when this came out....I remember about a dozen of us kids riding around town with my ghetto blaster tied on the handle bars playing this as loud as possible.
one of their first hits. average age of the band members at the time was 18 years old. great song!!.... side note = the drummer lost his arm in a terrible car accident. this was prior to that accident. in later videos you can see him playing with only 1 arm. they toured with an additional drummer (i saw them on that tour) until he taught himself to play with only 1 arm. it is very inspirational
Def Leppard, Judas Priest, Iron Maiden, Motörhead, Saxon, Diamond Head, Venom and Raven were known as the new wave of British heavy metal. If you were in highschool in the early 80's it seemed like musical magic was being created every other day.
Around this time, Nike high tops were king. Then out of nowhere, everyone started wearing Kaepa brand. I also had parachute pants in multiple colors and Guess jeans. What a time to be a teenager.
I may be in a small minority here, and while I like their first few albums generally, for some reason I still like their first album the most, On Through The Night. It's got a semi truck with a giant guitar strapped onto it and it's flying through space towards the moon, laugh. "Wasted" may not be the most positive lyrical content (although it's intense), but it's one of my favorite guitar riffs in rock. Get Your Rocks off is a live cut and it's this blistering fast balls to the wall swing thing and it is so kinetic. Answer To The Master is classic anthem rock. I think I also just like the simpler production values on it.
Thank you so much for the nostalgia. That was absolutely my most favorite band when I was in high school back in the '80s. I wore this cassette tape out!!!
Lex, you described it perfectly! It was a total feeling that you encapsulated. We had most of these videos on MTV so we could watch them anytime before or after school. The only thing I would say was different was white Reebok sneakers instead of New Balance. They had Reebok written in green with the British flag by the name. They've come back in style! I told my 18 year old daughter how popular they were & that I had a pair. She wanted some so I bought a pair for her for Christmas...paid a little more for them than they used to cost, but I love the fact that she is experiencing some of what I got to back then.
I always wore white Reebok high tops in the '80s! I saw them perform this song in 1988 during the Hysteria tour. These songs are even more awesome when played in an arena!
Lex...you nailed it! 80's in a nutshelll, glasses and all! those were my teenage years, and this was and still is my favorite Def Leppard song. i think i went through three cassette tapes of this album...Pyromania was Awesome...but then again, all their albums, back then were...great reaction, loved it
I think many people my age, 56 are getting caught up in their memories, which are faulty. I thought that this was a huge radio hit. At least that is what I thought I remembered. After consulting with my two "Billboard books" purchased in 1991, I found that not only did this song not chart in the top 40, it didn't even chart in the top 100. But if you owned the album "Pyromania" and listened to the whole album over and over, it can seem that the song was bigger than it actually was. Check Wikipedia if you don't believe me. So, deep cut.
I do remember this song being played a lot on rock stations by request and becoming a huge hit. But I also remember going to see them in 1983 on their first headliner tour and they didn't play it. They said later they didn't realize it was an FM radio hit in the US. Afterwards it became a live staple.
This came out when I was in 8th grade...she was dead on, jean jacket, cool shades BUT a pair of Kangaroo shoes (with the zipper pockets) was all the rage back in that day.
Saw this very line up open for Billy Squier way back in the day!! Rick is using both arms pre-accident, and Steve was here. Great show, banger song!! ❤🔥
In my schools in the 80's, you'd get beat up for wearing New Balance sneakers. Idk why, but it didn't take much back then. You'd better be wearing Adidas, Converse, Nike's (Aid Jordans if you were rich, not us though) K-Swiss or for a very short time, Roo's. My favorite though were Asics Gel's, some of the most comfortable sneakers ever, and much better then, than they are today.
@@TheRetroManRandySavage Yeah, that was another pair we couldn't afford. I had a pair of Roo's when I was 11 or 12. $100 says that the change I had in that side pocked is STILL stuck in the side pocket! 😆
@@smftv I loved roos. You can still find vintage roos on ebay and depop. Well, you could last time I checked. Hanon did a collab with roos. It's a stunning shoe.
People were wondering if they could pull this album off live back then. Wasn't a problem because Mutt Lange (producer) rammed them into the ground. Take after take. Rick threw his sticks at the monitor room window in frustration at one point. Joe took a walk to cool off and heard David Coverdale who was recording next door to them. Joe said David was nailing his vocals in one take which only led to Joe feeling more frustration. But by the time the record was done they could play it in their sleep.
This song reminds me just how amazing drummer Rick Allen really is. He still performs every song they have, without missing a beat, despite losing his arm when he crashed his corvette.
I feel like this is a known song but also a deep cut if that makes sense. Another "deep cut" to get into is "bringing on the heartbreak"... Btw I know the little one is due soon I wish you both nothing but a healthy delivery. You guys will be amazing parents 💙💙💙
I hate how they cut out part of the song in this video. This song is kind of underrated, because out of all Def Leppard’s songs, this is probably my favorite. To me it’s a #1 song.
Complete opposite of a deep cut. This song is beyond epic and was on the radio a lot when I was growing up.
Not a deep cut, but not one of the "hits" from the album either. At least not in the states. They had the three videos (Rock of Ages, Photograph, Foolin') and this was a TV appearance from Europe I assume. Maybe it was a hit single in Europe but not here, although it is a live staple.
Correction, it was a single and reached #9. News to me, lol. I probably don't remember it beign one of their hits because there was no MTV video for it.
@@JayTor2112 Yeah, I only knew of it from big Def Leppard fans turning me on to it. Then it became a given on my mix tapes and was just a part of the Def Leppard expectations. I seriously don't remember EVER hearing it on the radio back then (but I hear it now on Sirius) or knowing it even existed until by the time Hysteria came out.
Still on the radio around here
Deep cuts. Hard when dang near everything they did during this part of their career everything turned into a hit.
Mirror Mirror, Me and my wine, Rock brigade, lady strange “maybe”
Hell I heard this on the radio at my local convenience store yesterday.
Not only does Rick Allen have both arms, but riffmeister Steve Clark is alive and well crushing the solo in this song.
Also, "Pyromania" and "High 'n' Dry" are two albums I can listen to end to end. Not a single skippable track on either.
me as well.
Truth 👆🤘🔥😎
On Throught the Night an High and Dry. After that they went as we called them in HS in early 80's , "Poser".
INTERSTING FACT: the drums you hear were a machine, rick didn't play a note on the album.
Those two albums have a harder edge, which is attributed to Pete Willis writing a lot of the guitar parts.
Rule of thumb: If there's a music video for a song, it's not a deep cut. Deep Cuts are always album tracks, most would call them hidden gems (my favorite type of song/band).
There isn't a deep cut on this album. This album is 100% fire. Every song kicks ass
Yes, I thought Pyromania was more consistent than Hysteria. There are no songs on Pyromania as weak as Don't Shoot Shotgun, Run Riot or Excitable. However, I thought Hysteria's highlights burned a bit brighter than Pyromania's.
Of course there are. Every album has deep cuts. Every single one.
Even “Action! Not Words?”
@@nitro_001newman2 Great song!
I guess thats why it was called pyromania.... being absolute fire an all lol
High and Dry and Pyromania were my favorite Def Leppard albums, absolutely awesome.
This was my favorite Leppard song back in the day. 'Woman' was right behind it.
Woman is kinda of a deep cut IMO and VERY good😉
Women is a stone cold banger.
One of my favorite Def Leppard songs.
When Def Leppard was considered to be in the new wave of British heavy metal. They had some bangers early in their career.
MTV and probably just American record producers softened the band and got them more pop sounding. HnD is their apex
Oh to go back to those GOLDEN 80's! I'm so grateful I was actually there for those years. They were the most fun times of my life! Thanks for taking the journey back guys. ♡♡♡
Absolutely agree with everything that you typed. *The best music and movies but the clothes/fashion... not so much.*
There was no decade like the 80s and there won't ever be. So grateful I got to come of age during it.
Very popular! one of their best songs in my opinion, this was before the drummer had his accident and lost his arm 🔥💣🎸🥁
You mean before they became mediocre and exclusively radio friendly?
@@kiillabytez exactly!
The brilliant and so talented Steve Clark, the soul of this band. Never the same for me after he died. Gorgeous Steve, so loved and missed still.
Totally agree..when he died,so did Def Leppard. Rip Steve Clark

The Def Leppard band members had long hair, but they weren’t a “hair metal band”. Groups like Poison and Cinderella were “hair metal”.

Yes Def Leopard is the quintessential 80s hair metal.
Pretty much all their songs from that time were hits, Pyromania was what really got 80's rock going in that direction
This is when Def Leppard was good.
Their first two albums were their best. Before Joe Elliot decided to go commercial. "Lady Strange" is my favorite song on this album.
Pete Willis was my favorite.
Lady strange is their best song but it was on high and dry
@@davydod Damn you're right.
@@lw3918 definitely right on the commercial crap after the first two albums. Damn shame!
Actually,their 2nd-High & Dry and 3rd-Pyromania,are their peak.The first was On Through the Night.
I loved my New Balance shoes. They were the last big US shoe company to offshore their production.
They were all about 24 years old here and already had three killer albums released
This reminds me of riding in my old car on a cold winter night with the local rock band on my radio.
Check out another Def Leppard deep cut called "Answer to the Master".

This song reminds me just how amazing drummer Rick Allen really is. He still performs every song they have, without missing a beat, despite losing his arm when he crashed his corvette.
I feel like this is a known song but also a deep cut if that makes sense. Another "deep cut" to get into is "bringing on the heartbreak"...
Btw I know the little one is due soon I wish you both nothing but a healthy delivery. You guys will be amazing parents 💙💙💙
I turned my jean jacket into a denim vest loaded with metal band patches and never new balance I had Pro Keds high tops😂
I’m just checking the channel for a healthy baby and healthy mom. Let’s go 🎉
Pyromania was the biggest album that year ,and the shows at the Capital Center were sold out.
The anticipation for this Album can never be underestimated~
Best era of Def Leppard...back when they were still a little heavy.
Poor old Rick Allen was attacked outside a hotel a few days ago.
I was in my20s with a baby and it was the music I put on to get me started on cleaning and cooking !!!! Love it!!!
I hate how they cut out part of the song in this video. This song is kind of underrated, because out of all Def Leppard’s songs, this is probably my favorite. To me it’s a #1 song.
