No rock band harmonizes like Def Leppard
The "Photograph" of the 90s. Love this song so much.
Didn't come out until 99, and wasn't played on stations until after 2000, but sure!
In the summer of 99 it was so flashy and crisp sounding. I played the hell out of it. It was a great summer song. It's hard to explain. It Rocked!!
Take care!!

Promises was a number 1 on the mainstream rock charts in June and July!! It Rocked and caused Euphoria to go Gold!!
Closer to Animal
Robert Mutt Lange helped write both songs.
Awesome song. Hugely underrated. Should have been a #1
It was...
It was no.1 for 3 weeks on the Mainstream rock charts!! Rock on!!
I gotta say, it's been years since I haven't listened it, UA-cam usually doesn't recommend it
#41 UK, #18 CAN, #1 US Rock
The harmonies and melodies created by “That Def Leppard Sound” will always be instantly recognizable. 👍👍
❤️
Those guitars are amazing. I have never seen 2 guitarists orchestrate their guitars like that. Beautiful work!
true
I'm so in love with this group ever since they put there music on the shells alone of memory's alone of women cars and should have stayed with that girl I would have been happier music is cool
This song started off with a lot of promise, but once that generic Def Leppard chorus kicked in around 0:48 I immediately rolled my eyes. They should remake this song without that generic chorus they've abused for years.
@@henrythegreatamerican8136 The chorus is awesome man I don’t know what you’re talking about
When this song first hit radio, I said "Thank God! They're back!"
I said the exact same thing Austin!!!The first time I heard Promises,heard the intro and JUST KNEW right away it was DL!!!❤
I think you mean "They're back."
@@mos6507 Yeah, your right...Can't tall ya what on Earth I was thinking when I misspelled that!
Too bad it was the last good song the ever put out
@@martyschriver I think they had some good stuff on Songs from the Sparkle Lounge and their 2015 self-titled album
there is no doubt there is a pop spin on this song, but there is enough of that leppard sound in it for me to enjoy it!
I absolutely love this song! The harmonies, the transitions, fullness, classic Leppard sound at its best I can listen to this on repeat for hours.
I love Def Leppard but so glad Sav and Joe grew their hair back. They looked so different with short hair.
I actually think as they have grown older, and i certainly have...the shorter hair may look better on them at this age.
I missed some of Def Leppard's music in the 90's. Life happened. Married, children, family. I've been listening to some of their album's and I found a bunch of their music from that decade that I really relate to. Also, over the past few years I'm listening to them more and more. I'm 53 and this is my top favorite band forever. Keep Rockin' !!!❤️😘
I played this song on rum point at grand cayman Island In July of 2000 after I buried a diamond ring in the sand at the waters edge and asked my beautiful lady to dig for burried treasure, then asked her to marry me.
1 year later I played it in key largo FL on the dive boat. Before we jumped off into the water be married at the christ of the abyss statue in John pencamp st Park. Lost her 10yrs ago to a massive stroke on Christmas eve 16 years to the day we met.
Still listening to this beautiful music in 2024. Every time this song plays with a smile on my face and a tear in my eyes. Will always love you beautiful lady.
Ironically Def Leppard was the 1st concert I saw at 16yrs old.
Incredible music, incredible memories....
Thank you.❤.
Love it bro!!!! Keep rocking for her
Should be played on all radio stations TODAY!!!!!
It was when it was first released, I remember I was there!
I agree
I’m constant repeat 2023
Born on this day(December 8) in 1957 Def Leppard guitarist/vocalist Phil Collen. Cheers!🥨
Most underrated song ever.
yup
Can't believe this isn't on the Best Of album
nada
SnakeBerry MAGA i
SnakeBerry MAGA This song kicks ass 👍
I think this is one of the greatest songs ever written. Great catchy tune
Steve Clarke is missed Dearly (1960 - 1991) 😢✊️🎸⭐️🕊
Jay Khwaja r.i.p Steve Clark what a legendary guitarist ❤
yep.
Elliott and the band won't publicly admit it, but Def Leppard has never been the same after Steve died.
I loved Steve Clark and always will but Vivian Campbell has been an amazing soldier in the Def Leppard Army. I tip my cap to him stepping in to some major shoes to fill.
Boy you people just don't know how to keep your mouths shut do you?
That riff towards the very end. So subtle yet so beautiful!
Just an old man here. Hard to believe this is the band that opened up for AC/DC when I was young...lol. Man, that band was hungry and had an attitude of taking on the world! Didn't we all back then? lol Oh well. Def Lep went from rock to pop long before this and the death of Steve Clark ended any thought of looking back. That being said, this is a good Def Lep song in the pop tradition. Excellent guitar work, solid drumming, good vocals (joe Elliot was losing his higher range by then just a bit) and a great bass line. Elliot was also Blessed to have RICK Savage singing background melodies throughout their career and Sav has always been able to help when those higher register notes were needed for short periods. They are a legendary band that stayed together through so much and whether they went from rock or pop or not, they deserve their place in the RRHOF! They have stayed together through alcohol, drugs, accidents and death and just keep on playin' and say what you want, but that's guts and that's rock & roll.
+MrMike9158 It's RICK Savage, not Steve Savage.
+Michelle Morgan I appreciate you correcting me. It was just a typo. I'm old. You'll get there someday. Thank you...And just for the record, I noticed I didn't put a capitol letter on the "J" in Joe Elliott's name and spelled his name wrong too. Feel free to point out any other errors you notice. Never too old to learn. Thank you again.
+Michelle Morgan ric savage is wrestler...it's Steve savage................ahhhhhhh
+MrMike9158 back then rock was real..def leppard the cars triumph etc etc
+jimmy shine Hey Jimmy, thanks for the reply. Ya, music was great back then. But just for the record, Michelle was right. I just made a typo and corrected it after she pointed out my error. It is Rick Savage. I was only trying to point out back then that the Def Lep I first heard back in the early days, circa "On Through The Night", "High & Dry" and even "Pyromania" sounds nothing like the band that does "Adrenalize" or "Euphoria". Take care.
love this song and album. very underrated!
Imagine if Steve Clark was Riffing out on "Promises" Hot 🔥
Really wish they'd play this gem on rock radio again!
I think maybe the radio doesn't deserve these guys. They're of their own element and the radio stations of today play complete crap!! Idk.
True Lep fans know what they're creating and we make them our own.
Love Def Leppard forever!!!
Yesterday's with you'd never fail to be great ❤
I love Lepp. X ever
22 years ago this hit came out.
Promises was a hit. Day after Day and Paper Sun were huge but got no promotion.. The first time I heard those two songs I GOT CHILLS. You can hear Mutt Langes influence on a few songs. Day after Day and Paper Sun were written in the style of the legend himself, Steve Clark.
Paper Sun could been a song from Pyromania era. Too bad they didnt go that direction for all the new stuff even back then.
Paper sun is still a fav of mine also. But man hugh and dry lady strange and mirror mirror
Day After Day is most likely my favorite on this album.
Paper Sun charted high, and was played a lot when I listed to a Jax Florida rock station!!
Rock on!!
The year was 1999. I was driving on I-355, crossing over I-90 on my way to Arlington Heights, IL and falling asleep behind the wheel to visit my girlfriend at the time. This song came on "97.9 FM - The Loop" and, while I had heard it before a few times (and loved every minute of it), it immediately took me from 0 to 10 in seconds. The fact that a 1980's band actually succeeded in creating power pop perfection using their awesome, iconic sound in 1998 is quite the feat. Well, I didn't crash my car and all was still good in the world. Thank you, Def Leppard, for playing a part of one of the best years of my life. 😎🙏✌❤
Here's the last real classic song that Def Lep ever did. I almost like it even better than their vintage 80s and early 90s music. It has just a little of that 1999 pop feeling, but didn't abandon their hard rock/pop metal roots either.
The entire Euphoria album had that feeling, Adrenalize felt lackluster like they were worn out, Slang was just weird imo and not catchy at all. But I love Euphoria for these beginning riffs they're just great. After that Def Leppard went TOO pop, Yeah was great tho
Cody Orvik I agree. About half of Adrenalize was great but alot felt like Hysteria leftovers. Would be awesome if they did another CD in this style someday.
JPMcFly1985Two #FeelTheBern I think their newest album got the closest to this style, it wasn't great but it gave me hope they still have it in them. I also love It's all about believin', one of the singles they released on Mirror Ball.
Nice, I'll have to go listen to it (I kind of lost touch after this one, though I love their and Taylor Swift's CMT crossroads show from 2009)
You'll love their newest record :)
I love this song! It's so frustrating that this album didn't get the attention it deserved!
This album came out shortly after I lost my Mom, First moments of pure joy after all that pain!, A little while later saw the boys on this tour with a group of good friends.... Two and a half days of good friends, good music, and a whole lot of rock N roll hell raising! Thank You to Def Leppard, and my crew for helping me through that hard time, I'll always remember!
Me and my brother entered my school talent show with this, me singing and my brother on guitar. We won, and everyone was surprised when they found out how old this song is. One of their bast.
I remember they played this song in the 3Arena in dublin in 2018 and the speakers nearly blew. Great song
This sounds like it could have been off Hysteria. But this was 12 years later.
Exactly. Listening to this I was like...”Are you sure that was a new song then and not some previously recorded unreleased song that was rejected from that album? That’s odd...” Because obviously, most of the music of 1999 was VERY different compared to 1987 honestly...and I was born in 1999, but many of the songs from that year continued to play on the radio well during my childhood.
Def Leppard should’ve maintained there sound in the mid 90s and made songs like this along with shifting their image to fit what was going on throughout that time. Just opinion.
No, this one has a fresh sound, definitely
thinking the same thing
This is My favorite Def Leppard song of All Time the Year 1999
Still rockin 20 years later and still great to this day
Thank God For Def Leppard And Their Music. Magic, Same Thing
Last summer, radio station WPNC in the North Carolina Outer Banks dedicated the entire week of Independence Day to the 50th anniversary of American Top 40 with Casey Kasem. Throughout the week, they played several remastered American Top 40 countdowns from the original Casey Kasem era (1970-1988), and a handful of special shows as well, but they also played some countdowns from the second Casey Kasem era (1998-2004).
One of the second-era shows they played was from the summer of 1999 (July 17, 1999?), and "Promises" was featured on the countdown that week! It fell to #37 that week, but it still sounded great! It was the first time I'd heard the song on the radio since it was a hit on the radio, and I fell in love with it all over again!
"Promises" sounds like vintage Def Leppard from the 1980s, but interestingly, it still fit in with all the rest of the music on the countdown from that period of time. I love the full sound of the song from beginning to end, and the layered harmonies in the pre-chorus and chorus, both of which are staples of Mutt Lange productions.
Hearing this song all over again on an American Top 40 countdown reminded me of exactly why I enjoy listening to old American Top 40 shows so much. Not only do you get to hear Casey Kasem and his friendly voice, but you also get to hear several underrated hits that would otherwise be forgotten if not for the shows being rebroadcasted.
I hope WPNC does another week of American Top 40 shows this Independence Day. That'd be awesome.
When Simon Lebon briefly stepped in as lead singer of Def Leppard.
Totally my thought as well!
lololol !!!!! you are right!! lmao ..
I find this comment hilarious.
I saw Def Leppard play in front of 50 thousand fans in Toronto in 2018. They tore the house down!!!
We'll i guess u think that makes you special don't you. Well You Are. Lol. I wished I could have seen them sometime. If they come my way!!
They were so close to recapturing the magic with this song....... but it just fell short.
This would have been an absolutely phenomenal song for any other band - but for Def Leppard it just falls short.
I still love the song though.
Phil Collen is so awesome. My favorite guitar player.
Melodic hard rock was always Def Leppard's forté, and this song is no exception! It's tonality is in a major key, like "Photograph," and the lyrics are positive, all with Phil Collen's and Vivian Campbell's driving guitars behind them. Paired with the legendary DL rhythm section, this song rocks, and this band STILL kicks my ass! Long live Def Leppard!
I know I promise you a lot of things Sav but I am still here listening to your music and Def Leppard music 🎵🎵 no matter what
This track is an earcatcher. Had it in my ears while on my way to work. Another one of my many Faves from Joe Elliott & Co. 😘🤘
this is the best newer def song. my brother was killed listening to def leppard. this song is for you kevin l . f.
This group is hot 🔥 love ❤️ ya guys ❤️
I kinda got a way from them and then my 46 year old brother posted this on his FB page and it was love all over again. This is an excellent song at 49 with Def Leppard as Photograph and Rock of Ages was when I was 15. Musically they haven't changed that much. Just get better with age like fine wine.
+Jenny Gail Yeah... they seem timeless. 53 y/o here and still loving most of their stuff. Have a great day
62 here.....and they are one of my favorites. Right up there with Satriani, Collective Soul and Joe Walsh
Jenny Gail Im now 58 .And still like hearing . Def Leppard thanks
My favorite Def Leppard song, love the message. Got to see them live in 2009, have tickets to see them again in the Stadium Tour w/Motley Crue next year.
Remember you guys starting off way back In Sheffield , come a long way , wish Steve was here still, Steve and Phil were amazing on stage .
Keep Rocking guys .
Godspeed Steve 🙏 🙏
From crewe 🇬🇧
my favourite band you rock guys
Def leopard is a fucking iconic group from the 80”s and still gong strong . Thank you
so underated
By far my favorite DL song of the 90s
Well, it was released in 99 and you probably didn't get a whole lot of listening in before the turn, but it was my favorite of the 2000's!
Phil Collen can rip that guitar up!! Awesome!!!
I don't know why this song isnt played more
i love this song...wow just came across it..
Man I still love this freaking band
Their harmony was always on top ❤️
VIVA DEF LEPPARD!
Man I love this song! Underrated in my opinion as are many of Def Leppard's songs.
SUPER SUPER
Love this song I thought these guys were done making great stuff after the 80’s then I heard this song love the chorus so much
def leppard should've brought back their old hairstyles for this album...
I love the short hair but Joe would look good bald . I adore this song ❤
Love Def Leopard!!!
Lol. Def Leopard. You mean Def Leppard*. If the grammar police were here, you would have a lifetime sentence
"Last night I was blown away
I said a million things I'd never say

I won't make promises babe, that I can't keep
Oh my my, I lost control
I told you everything, I said it all
You came right out and said to me
"Gonna get me some of your honesty"
You want me to promise you
That everything is true
I won't make promises that I can't keep
I won't make promises that I don't mean
I'll even mean the things I tell you in my sleep, yeah
I won't make promises babe, that I can't keep
You want me to promise you
That everything is true
I won't make promises that I can't keep

;-jx
Die beste Band die es je gab! Danke für eine tolle Zeit!
promises a awesome absolutely great outstanding straight up kicks ass rock n roll song by DEF LEPPARD and totally rocks this needs to be fully cranked up all the way to full maximum volume.
i recorded this video on vhs from the box tv music station, bought the album and went nuts after that!!!
Ngl, music video's kinda fire 🔥
This fuckin' has the "level" to be a fuckin classic like the Pyromania and Hysteria songs!!! Who should believe that the "Leppards" will be able to do a song like this one in 1999??? A MASTERPIECE!!!!!
I KNOW STEVE WILL ALWAYS BE MISSED...DEF LEPPARD KEEPS HIS SPIRIT ALIVE......
February 18th 2023, Tonight def Leppard, Mexico city, I'll be there!!!
You guys are like the "Keanu Reeves" of the rock world.....what you did for your drummer just blew my mind.
(aside from your music being a core part of me maturing as a man.)
I was..is and always will be a dedicated fan
Haha my fav band of all time right here. My dad wore out high and dry when i was a kid. I remember him telling me" son they put out another album coming" i was like whaaaattttttt! And this song was the first i heard of it
Happy 53rd birthday Rick Savage!
I was lucky enough to see Def Leppard live at the Hammersmith Odeon in 1987 I think it was , part of the Animal tour, oh man, will never forget that concert, they were awesome !
Bought the CD when it came out;-) Became a fan waay too late during the Vault years (too broke to buy their albums back then). Stood out and sang along in the parking lot of the Iowa State fair when Leppard came to Iowa🤟
This is one of the better newerr leppard tunes
I'm 23 yo, this song is 16 years ago. I love old musics, Love Love Love. Can't wait for the show in Japan IN 3 WEEKS yay
an all time favorite
OK, their hair have changed! But at least, they have hair! Lucky dawgs! Cheers!
Easily in my top 5 Def Leppard songs. Epic. Underrated
best Leppard album since Steve Clark died
Adrenaline wasn’t that bad. Least it’s not as bad as SLANG
My favourite song from "Euphoria". Def Leppard is trully one of the greatest bands of all time. Saw them life in 2015 - simply the best show I ever went to. I'm probably gonna face lots of criticism, but I'll choose Def Lep over Led Zeppelin, The Who and The Rolling Stones anyday.
I whole-heartedly agree! Def Leppard is easily the greatest band of all time. They have rock, metal, glam rock, pop, grunge, and a few other styles of music, and they nail every single genre they attempt to record in. The diversity and change in Def Leppard's music catalog is just amazing, and I really appreciate it. DEF LEPPARD FOREVER!!!
I think they are an underrated band because they had their own kind of style. They were certainly not an heavy metal band and they were not soft rock either. They were good looking and made great songs. What possibly held them back was their live vocals. Their studio albums are slick and well polished but Joes voice in the live concerts often sounds as rough as sandpaper...
Same they're my favorite band
you won't get criticism from me i agree
Thank you))
2:23 I find it very strange to see sav and joe with short hair hahaha
Me too. Odd, strange, out of place.
Love the Griffiths Observatory opening shot....and of course that Monster riff!!!
My favorite band.. one of my most favorite songs
Like the 80s sound of them
you can hear the pain in Joe Elliott's "ha-aah!"
They rocked Dallas last night
Their best song from the 90s in my opinion
Jennifer Gibb i think songs sparkle lounge has great songs too
agreed but sparkle is not from the 90s :)
yes but still great
agreed!
but for me i love all of leps music ive been there since they came to us back in 80
cool! my favorite band growing up
Thank you def.leppard....it.was the 4th ..Time i saw leppard. 1993 1997 2016 and 2023. A week ago.. with motley crue. A great.great concert. At México city. Foro sol. ..thanks .you aré an.awesome.band..
I love leppard since ,1982. I.have cds lps cassettes..vhs dvd ..salute from México!!!!
I feel like this was like one of the first examples of albums representing the third wave rock sound, (the one we’re entering now) that basically try to exist for the next 20 years and weren’t able to do a very good job until very recently.
I must have missed this one. This one is catchy!!!!
This song is "WOW"! 😘🤘 Love it! 😘🤘🎼🎵🎶🎤🥁🎸🎸
Played this in Vegas last year and it was a great show and this song rocks
Phil Collen my favorite guitarist your awesome Phil😊
I never left Def Leppard’s group. I was locked out. I think this song is such a sweet couple’s song for lover’s. It is so very very heart-felt and sweet. Joe Elliott sings beautifully and the word’s are are meaningful. Angie ❤️🎶🙏🏻🧎♀️💫🎤🎤🎤🎤🎙🎙🎙❤️❤️❤️❤️🇬🇧. ‘I Promise!’ Angela Johnson... I can’t get into Facebook at all! I miss everyone! Angie ❤️🧎♀️😢
rock song of year in 1999!!
Thank GOD for Jungle Jim Mothersbaugh
For invention of the Electronic Drum's
That many drummers of Today can play them
