I can't believe all these old videos or their 1983 tour.I wanted to see them so bad when i was a kid . and now its right here at my fingertips . so cool .. :)
@ren3788 You touched on something I was thinking about earlier today. In today's world of technology, we have instantly at our fingertips music and video that we had to either search out at local record stores or wait to hear or see on the radio or MTV. The only way to see a band, was to actually SEE it... LIVE.
I wonder if ultimately that availability has lessened its value (beyond the fact that most of today's music is of course value-less crap).
Any performing musician knows that when you are playing a live show adrenaline gets the best of you and you play the songs faster thinking they are at their normal tempo. You only realize you were playing 100mph after you go back and watch the video. That's why a lot of drummers play to a click live on stage just to keep the proper tempo.
@AdyingEmberXXX that could be true for DL as well, but there's also a possibility that this is how they wanted to play it and Mutt had them play it slower in the studio.

I doubt the fact that they were at a festival made them play it faster. More likely they just got excited and played it faster without realising, or did it deliberately for more energy. maiden and slayer do the same thing.
What happens to you when you die? Have you ever told lies, stolen, used God's name in vain? If yes, then you are a liar, thief, and a blasphemer. When you die & be judged by God, you'll be guilty of sin. The bible says you'll end up in Hell! But God sent God His Son Jesus to die on a cross for your sins, He was buried & rose from the dead on the third day. If you'll believe the Gospel(Jesus's death, burial & resurrection) for the forgiveness of your sins, you'll not perish & have eternal life!
I absolutely love this song, but this just seems sloppy. After Rick Allen lost his arm, shit got real and I think they turned out to be a better band because of it
This concert had several bands performing and Leppard were thought to be the less "hard" out of all of them when it started. Then Joe Elliot says "we got something to say" and Steve Clark steps up on the guitar with that massive riff and the rest was history.
They played this a little more fast paced! Really cool, but personally I love it when they keep it at the normal pace! That makes it more of the epic rock song that it is!
I'm guessing this is later in the tour, Joe was having some trouble hitting the high notes. I saw them 9 times on Hysteria tour, 3 times front row, but would have given it all up for just one show on Pyromania.

You didnt notice there are only 10 facts Copy and paste to 3 videos tomorrow will be your best day ever
hahahaha....no...they really shouldn't. Guitar Hero destroys rock songs, and just spawns a whole new group of wannabees who think they are badassess and rockers just because they can click buttons really fast. And when you're on stage playing in a band, your adrenaline goes through the roof and you play faster than sitting around at practice, but it doesn't seem like you are going faster. Its a "surge of the moment" kind of thing.
no man umm look im no rock band nerd or guitar hero guy but listen i WOULD be if they had def leoopard songs =P but this much faster than normal mabey just a few beets but it is faster ive seen them play this song its much slower
I thought it was pretty awesome myself. Damn, Go Ricky A! He is just as good now, if not better than he was then! That was when they started and it was raw and crazy! I want Rock and Roll!
I don't know. But you can really tell on this one how much faster they are going than on a recorded version. When I listened to this the first time I knew it didn't sound right, but I didn't realize it was the speed at which it was done that made it sound different until I saw crue4life's comment about it sounding rushed. Then it hit me what was different. I don't know if it's b/c of time constraints or what. Now I'm curious.
Well, that's a shame really. I like the other "Rock of Ages" too. It's a beautiful hymn I think. Now if we were on Godtube instead of Youtube, I imagine the Salvation Army would have more views don't you?
Yeah it did seem rushed but back then they were a little more raw I think. Now they are a little more polished and know more about what the audience wants. Does that sound right? However, raw can be very, very, good. lol
On New Years Eve 1984 Rick was driving his Corvette to Sheffield (The place where Def Leppard started) and some guy was egging him on with his car. Rick punched the gas went around a left hand turn too fast and flipped it went through a stone wall and landed in a field. He was ejected..... minus his arm. The seat belt was not latched right and came up and sliced through his arm.
Why is weird to see Rick Allen with two arms? Does anyone know what happened to him? He had two arms before his accident right, so why is it weird? I hate it when people say "Wow two arms. or omg, look Rick's got two arms.
I love leppard really I do but the one thing I hate is that between their inception and Hysteria they sound like they race to finish their songs they don't really start slowing everything down until the hysteria world tour!!!
That performance had several heavy metal bands performing after Def Leppard. I think Steve Clark through the gauntlet down with that first riff when he comes in!! That just blew me away when i heard it the first time....with the speakers up!
Don't even try to take credit away from them for their success. These guys formed on their own and decided on their own musical direction. Sure Mutt Lange helped with their sound, but he's infamously known as the 6th Leppard, not the puppet master.
They didn't hire Mutt. Mutt called them in England after their lp with lack of sales in USA. Mercury Records told him to contact them because they know Def Leppard would be the next best band since Judas Priest and Iron Maiden. Believe it or not, they were the last metal band from UK! There's no other group that could top these guys who sold over 70 million albums worldwide!!
i love how he gets the audience involved :) i wish i was alive during this time
