- Def Leppard is joining forces with Mötley Crüe, Poison, and Joan Jett & the Blackhearts for the summer 2020 Stadium Tour.
“Extra” senior music correspondent Adam Weissler spoke with the band, who have been together since 1977. What’s their secret?
Joe Elliott said, “We share a dressing room. We don’t have the diva thing… We like each other, we warm up, we joke, we try clothes on, and we laugh at each other… It keeps it real.”
The reason why I love Def Leppard is because these guys have this amazing Chemistry. They support one another. They motivate one another. They get along so well. Def Leppard is one of the greatest rock bands ever 💓
Viv said when he tried out for the band, the interview was more focused on his personality and how he would get along with the rest of the guys than on his guitar work. These guys really like one another and working together.
Nice ❤❤❤
That’s a true band right there. Play together stay together.
62 ,years old and still rocking it ,proudly said ❤❤❤
61 and still listening
How are they so humble when they are rock gods? Have loved them since the 80s, still love them now. Awesome band.
Brought up right
I have grown to really respect this
band. They have what it takes.
Rock Stars that have grown
and they are not afraid to try new
things. Go outside of the box.
There's a reason I have loved this band since when I first heard them in the late 80's.
I have only the deepest respect for this band
Of all the money and possessions they have the most valuable things they have are standing to their left and right. Each other!
One of the greatest bands ever love all there songs
love how rick savage still has the 80’s hair
Wish the other Rick still had his 80's arms....

Down to earth. Proper British Band
@@Fllutterby why you watching then if that's the case
@@Fllutterby what kind of music do you like? Hope you hate most of those self righteous Hollywood celebs as well.
@@Fllutterby glad to hear that. There's not much left that's not corrupt
@@Fllutterby haven't you got anything better to do than to go on UA-cam and lecture people on how bad you think def leppard are ??!!
Have you thought about getting a life ?!
@superhuman guitarpowers keep believing the lie then...its certainly your free will to do that! You cannot take away The Truth...that is where I am with Jesus...read Psalm 28...that'll explain everything
Saw them live in Las Vegas august 14th 2019 an unforgettable experience for me
The reason they’re still together, is the massive talent that each individual brings to the band and the modesty that goes with it - a marriage made in heaven really! ❤
Bought Pyromania in 1983, and went back to buy their first two albums a week later. I wasn't listening to them in 1980/81 at 12/13 years old; hadn't even heard of them yet... that didn't happen until age 15, thanks to MTV. Loved them instantly; had a crush on Rick Allen. 😉
even in the 21st century they are still relevant how cool is that? i have only been to one of their concerts
Def Leppard has some of the best songs in a tiny teenage life!!!!! Thank you so very much for Love Bites, it is so great!!!!!!!! 😇🙃😎💥❤🔥💣🐑🦓🐰🐾
I have always loved them and still do.
Love these guys! Fun group of fellas. 🤘🤘💙❤️🇬🇧🙌🙌
Always feels more so like Phil Collen is the lead singer rather than Joe based on how he speaks in interviews.
This makes me feel all warm & fuzzy inside... 🥰🥰
I really miss Steve Clark 😭😭😭He was and still is my favorite member of Def Leppard.
Oh my God Steve.... he was a precious soul. Miss him so much too 😭😭😭
my favorite member of Def Leppard is Rick Savage
Saw them at Seminole Hollywood hardrock in 2005. Great performance one of the best I ever saw. One of my favorite bands ever with Bon Jovi before Sambora left. I would love to meet these guys. Seem really cool.
Def Leppard WILL ALWAYS BE MY FAVORITE BAND OF MY LIFE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!❤
Love these guys!!
Nice to see Phil wearing a shirt
Greatest band of all time
@@Fllutterby what kind of music and bands do you like?
@@Fllutterby Ahhhhh gotcha. How do you define of lights and not of darkness?
Agreed. As for Karen she’s a Karen...😴
@@OReazor you must not get me if you are asking for clarity...it's a spiritual thing...Christ is the Truth...the Way...the Life...that light...
You know after how things were going for them in the late 90s, I love how they are music royalty!
Absolutely love Def Leppard ❤❤❤❤❤ They are my #1 band!!!! Joe, Sav, "Thunder God ", Phil, and Vivian, you guys will always have a special place in my heart!!!
Long life Def Leppard!

Hahaha lol he said divas!!!! Classic.
I like the way vivian is there to be seen and not heard
He speaks with a Gibson Les Paul 🎸🔥
ROCK IT YEAH ?
" It was keep re making Hysteria over and over and never being half as good....and damned if we didn't even think anyone had noticed...or that another 25 years had passed. Geez,are our faces red?"
Their staying power is amazing and that is because they are only rock stars on stage. Offstage, they do not life the stereotypical rock star life. Even Joe Elliott tells them to check their egos at the door.
Phil kept himself healthy - good for him.
How would u reach them today. Because i just got one question that is very important for them.
😊😊😊❤
❤️❤️❤️🥰🥰🙏🤘🤘
Sleep is good😊
Vivian still the odd man out after 28+ years
Yep...Sadly he is a spare tire in this band which is a shame because he is 10 times the guitarist Phil Collen is. Its a great gig for him because he's making a ton of cash and a lasting career and good for him I that regard....but as a guitarist it would be so unsatisfying to have to play such a backseat role when he has so much talent as a player. I saw him in the Last in Line a few years back doing all of the old Dio material and he was just on fire.
@@warborn_inc. That is so not true that Vivian is an after thought or the odd man out.... People are frogetting that everyone is different and that maybe he just feels like not talkng in interviews.. Go take a look at when he joined the band back on the adrenalize tour. he was running around the stage goofing around havign a good ole time.. He has been through ALOT .. he had Hodgkin's lymphoma and had to have chemo every 3 weeks. Lost all his hair.. All that takes a toll on your mind and body. But i guarentee that he is NOT an after thought in the band and has his imput when they are making music. Im quite sure he has a personality and can have fun. He just chooses not to take that much during interviews. Which is cool with me. he does great when he burning up the stings on stage. which is all that really matters.
How is playing Steve Clark equal to taking a backseat? They play and sung the same amount. They’re both lead and rhythm guitarists Viv just does it with a shirt
@@warborn_inc. kinda like saying Neil Peart was odd man out because he chooses not to speak much?
@@warborn_inc.what weird comment is this
Poor Vivian
No doubt. He smokes Phil in every way as a player and he is an after thought with this band. I like Def Leppard but its criminal to make a player as good as Vivian is essentially be a spare tire.
@@warborn_inc. Speed and flash doesn't make Phil a good player. I thought Steve was a better player as well as Vivian obviously.

Vivian Campbell looks a lot like Woody Harrelson now.
Imortais
after all this time Campbell still doesn't fit in
That is so not true that Vivian is an after thought and doesnt fit in.... People are forgetting that everyone is different and that maybe he just feels like not talkng in interviews.it's his choice.. Joe even said they all hang out, shower and cut it up together as a group.

I'm sure they all know their talents.Maybe Vivian is happy just being part of the "foundation" for this band.He's doing what is called for on a professional basis.He has his own projects as well.In his project he can let loose and has his players to do their thing for him.All professionals they are!!!!
