The backstory on that one armed drummer is extremely impressive. Def Leppard recorded their first three albums when he was 16 17 and 19 years old. He lost his arm in a car accident right around his 21st birthday and by the time he was 24 he had recorded the fourth album with them and was headed back out on tour for hysteria
Whenever someone that’s not familiar with Def Leppard reacts to their songs I’m always patiently waiting for them to realize that they’re fantastic, Rick Alan only has one arm he lost it in 1983 New Year’s Eve and he kept playing and still played the old songs as good as he played the new songs with one arm
@@grendeltech that's because they consider each other as family and they'd left it up to Rick to tell them, "I cany do this, you'd better find a new drummer"
Great reaction! Drummer lost his arm right in the middle of their rise to fame. He had to learn to play with electric drums, using his feet. They had tons of hits. Rock of Ages, Photograph, Love bites, just to name a few.
There was a time when this song was number one on MTV’s video request show every day for almost a solid year Def Leppard was the biggest band in the world for time
Mannnnnnn now that’s a blast from the 80’s. 🤣🤣🤣 I use to jam tf out to this on my Walkman. Them mix tapes with them, Bonjovi, Prince, Micheal,,,,,,, was EVERYTHING 🤣🤣🤣. The drummer lost his arm in a bus crash.
Rick Allen our famous one arm drummer did not think he could ever play again his back story he was in an imported New Year's Eve 1984 corvette sting Ray lost it flipped him out of sun roof seatbelt ripped his arm off left now uses left electronic feet pedells amazing ❤️🇬🇧#lepps
Yeah "Photograph" is my favorite from Def Leppard. The whole album "Pyromania" is fire (LOL) though... really a perfect album... not a song that you want to skip and some that you need to repeat a few times. That does it for me ! "Rock of Ages" and "Foolin'" are the other great songs from that album.
Rick Allen lost his L-arm in '85, due to an auto accident.---------the band stuck with him , & he learned to use his L-foot, with a new drum kit. -----------Total respect to the guys, who never gave up on him.-----------------------------WolfSky9
Great reaction Bre. I'm dating myself but I saw them in the early 90's..the best concert I'd been to by far. The Thunder God was just that..you never wud known he only had 1 arm. You go girl!!
I won the bass player's (Rick Savage) jacket he wore at the 1988/89 MTV music awards, it was in 2005, all proceeds went to help Hurricane Katrina victims! I paid $1000.00 USD! Still got it!!
React to Rock of Ages live 1988 in the round! Right after their third album pyromania Rick Alan lost his arm in 1983 for years later they released their album hysteria and it’s sold 25 million copies Rick came back with one arm and tours and plays with the band to this day they are new inductees into the rock ‘n’ roll Hall of Fame
This song became a huge radio hit because a bunch of strippers in Florida had been using it onstage to strip to, and the radio stations picked it up. It exploded into the mainstream and the album 'Hysteria' went on to sell over 12,000,000 copies
When Rick had his accident they were at the top all they couldn't easily passed him over for another drummer but they waited 3 years for him to relearn everything. It's so weird watching older videos where he is both arms.
This was one of t he songs that ruled the 80's when it came out. Another reactor who commented on this song stated the beat of this song reminded them of Queen's 'We Will Rock You.'
Hey Bre I hope you got a spreadsheet or something keeping track of all these requests, but if you want another great Def Leppard tune you gotta listen to Hysteria, please!?

What's also cool is that the band worked with him. They could have said "welp. Time to get a new drummer," but they didn't. That says a lot.
@@grendeltech that's because they consider each other as family and they'd left it up to Rick to tell them, "I cany do this, you'd better find a new drummer"
Def Leppard classic example of why the 80s totally rocked and the best decade on the planet for music and everything else.
Great reaction! Drummer lost his arm right in the middle of their rise to fame. He had to learn to play with electric drums, using his feet. They had tons of hits. Rock of Ages, Photograph, Love bites, just to name a few.
Donna, it's the left arm that Rick Allen lost, not his right arm
I know, my comment said he lost his arm right in the middle of their rise to fame. Didn’t mean his right arm. Lol! 😘
And a shout out to Rock-it
Rick Allen lost his arm on December 31, 1984 in the afternoon when he got into the car accident !!
Def Leppard! Man, the 80s were so fun! Rock of Ages, Animal and Armageddon It are all great songs by Def Leppard. You'll enjoy them.
Oh this is one of my all time favorite songs!!!!
There was a time when this song was number one on MTV’s video request show every day for almost a solid year Def Leppard was the biggest band in the world for time
Mmmmm baby pour some sugar on me
I used to tune in at 4:55 every day to catch this video during that time. No UA-cam back then to see it on demand.
Def Leppard and Michael Jackson were essentially battling it out for biggest act in the world for a good 8 or 9 years.
Please do photograph, hysteria, foolin, rock of ages, and Bringin on the heartbreak by Def Leppard!!! Such a great reaction!
And “Love Bites.”
Rick Allen has two arms and no shirt in all of those, except hysteria...
My favorite band! Love your reactions!❤
Thank you
one of my favorite songs by my favorite band
Def Leppard is definitely one of the best Rock bands ever. In my top 5. 🤘 Such a great song.

Makes me feel young to listen to my favs from the 70's and 80's... back when everything didn't SUCK ! Yeah I said it !
Def Leppard are still packing arenas.
Next year they have a stadium tour with Motley Crue lined up.
Animal and Hysteria are my go to's.

This song was featured in the comedy movie "Balls of Fury" about an underground pingpong tournament. Probably where you heard it.
