This was brilliant in the 70's when David Essex had a hit with it... it was so fresh then and stands the test-of-time !! Great version here by DL. Love the power chords at 2.08.
Finally a remake just as bad ass as the original. Doesn't always happen. I just found this the other night. Had no idea they remade it. One of the best videos I've ever seen too. These guys could sing words from a soap box and it would sound great!
Really impressed with the way Def Leppard sounds covering this song !! Absolutely Amazing 😍😍 😍 They still sound great!! 2023 Have a number 1 album in USA Great World Tour 2023 !
Sorry to say that this is my fave Sav bass line. I always looked forward to this opening at the live shows. I absolutely love this version of "Rock On" and I prefer it. This is one of the best videos, too.
What I love about this song, is throughout it, they're hinting at there power, teasing with it, until right at the end, where they overload you with it. Like wolves cornering prey before attacking!!!!
Def Leppard is incredible. There talent is timeless and they seem ageless. Everything they do is magical; ESP live. They blew my 11 year old daughter’s mind at the concert I took her to. I like the cover although I rather hear original music from them.
Hey kid, rock and roll Rock on, ooh, my soul Hey kid, boogie too, did ya? Hey shout, summertime blues Jump up and down in my blue suede shoes Hey kid, rock and roll, rock on And where do we go from here? Which is the way that's clear? Still looking for that blue jean, baby queen Prettiest girl I ever seen See her shake on the movie screen, Jimmy Dean And where do we go from here? Which is the way that's clear?

Omg love this saw them during the YEAH tour, when they started the song with only Joe on stage with red / orange behind him and the rest of the stage was totally dark it was definitely epic . But when they kicked into Def Leppard mode it was the highlight of the concert for me😎
... Yeah, as I revisit again and again (after all 16 years) this great piece of D. Essex sung by Def Leppard ... well just live pleasure for my ears ... 😎 🎶 😉
Love this version. I’ve seen it live in concert many times & each time I end up trying not to cry cause the song reminds me of a friend’s late brother who was in the movie this song is in as well as the original music video; his name was the late great ever so missed Corey Haim & the movie is called Dream A Little Dream

I absolutely love this video. I've probably posted it 100 times. I love this song anyway and this is an awesome cover. I'll never forget the Def Leppard concert Brad took me to. He rises up out of a stage elevator wearing a black suit and top hat singing this song. I about passed out.
Badass remake! Def Leppard freakin rocks!
Absolutely 🔥🔥🔥🔥
I just now found out Def Leppard did this Classic favorite of David Essex.
They do a butt kicking good job of it.
one of the best covers ive ever heard... ROCK THE FUCK ON 🤟
What I love is that while remaining faithful to the original, it's injected with that unmistakable Def Leppard sound. It's awesome 😎🤘👍
Def Leppard is awesome!!!
So true!
Totally agree 100%
This is 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
@@Yourallergies12342yeah for damn sure🎉🎉🎉🎉
You Guys Rock......ON
This has to be THE best video leppard haa ever made. Hands down. Joe worked the lens like a legendary rock star.
Love this version. Been with Def Leppard from High n' Dry album. They have aged very well. Still sound great.
😊
Они великолепны❤❤ !!
Yep love DL❤ just came from watching Lexington Lab Band cover Hysteria n several other Dl jams and they nailed them! DL would love them 😂🔥🔥🔥🔥
The hardest hitting band in the 80's
Joe Elliott is so talented I love defleppard. They never get old 💖💖💋💋💋💋💋💋👄
Amen
Excellent!!! This is the first time I heard Def Leppard's version of this.
Bet David Essex is happy, probably stopped getting royalties years ago for this, and then Boom, the cheques start rolling in again.

Also, Michael Damian took it to #1 in 1989. Today (4-26-23) is Mr. Damian's 61st birthday.

Well I’m 73
@@richardwhitmar4584 73 is the new 37.!! Only this time you are much more educated than you were before!😉
I love to hear the band play this live..Sav's bass is EVERYTHING! Def Leppard's version is one that you can hear and feel....ROCK ON!!!
Love old songs being refreshed by this band.
to me , one of the best covers of any song
Finally a remake just as bad ass as the original. Doesn't always happen. I just found this the other night. Had no idea they remade it. One of the best videos I've ever seen too. These guys could sing words from a soap box and it would sound great!
You should see them do this song live in Concert, man, they still Rock the F*ck out of this, they're awesome!
Like Elton John with Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds. Or PPM with the Spring Hill Mine Disaster
Really impressed with the way Def Leppard
sounds covering this song !!
Absolutely Amazing 😍😍 😍
They still sound great!! 2023
Have a number 1 album in USA

Great phrasing
This doesn't suck at all. I love the original. Didn't expect this version to be so good.
Solid, solid performance!
Oh my god the memories! I found this the year it came out and loved it as much back then as I do now. Great times!
Holy CRAP..... this is TIGHT!

SOLID performance! Joe did an amazing job as always! The band is the best!
Love this version by one of my all time favorite bands from the 70's and on !!
This cover hits so hard. It's great live as well.
love that clear-sounding mic and the guitar work.
WHY IS THIS SONG SOO UNDERATED
Never knew they covered this song until now.
They definitely do it justice!! 🤘🤘
Def Leppard.... ROCK ON!!!
Best version of this song by far.🤘🏻
Totaly agreeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!
It was Ok. But no, not better than Michael Damien's 1989 remake. That one was perfect, better than the original too.
David Essex is the only version needed .
@@acidface624Absofuckinlutely!! Gorgeous man!!
Now that rocks!!!! Joe u still pulling out some amazing songs. Love me some Def Leppard! Yummy

Def Leopard still looking damn good! I was in 4th grade when I first heard them. Loved them then, still jam to them now.
Def Leppard
The approach was subtle, the body of the track was elusive and then the ownership.
Masterpiece ✴️
The best version of this I have ever heard.

This is probably the best cover I've ever heard of David Essex' one hit, (in fact, only descent song).
But the original is still WAY better.
Heard this song in the store today. I Love that store. They play 80's music. Don't think I recall this version of the song. Love it though.
