Def Leppard - She's Too Tough

[hammr25]

I'm not sure why people think Def Leppard wouldn't have mellowed out if Steve Clark hadn't died.  He has writing credits in most of the songs on Adrenalize.

[AgentSkoal]

Steve wasn't in this. It was recorded about 2 years after he died. Joe wrote the song in 1987 and it was supposed to be on the hysteria album but they decided against it and Joe essentially gave the song to the band Helix, which they put on their 1987 album "wild in the streets" Def Leppard recorded it in 1993...had Steve been in the song...It wouldve been way more awesome. R.I.P Steve "steamin" Clark

[MsBestqueen]

This one and Hysteria are my fav.. AWESOM SONGS!!!!!!!!

[lerlo]

The first time I heard it, I thought they ripped it off the fruit pastels advertisment

[alexrourke1984]

beautiful song, really gives me joy, but the version of Helix is slightly better because the refrain is more rock. however, the great honor of Def Leppard

[lyonslaforet]

It may be only an album of B-sides and outtakes, Retro-Active is far superior to certain official Def Leppard albums like Adrenalize (1992) or Slang (1996).

[CLAU260459]

J'adore ce titre !!! ♥

[MrPman851]

This is one of my FAV tracks on "Retro Active".

[HEADBANGERSBALLER]

Great cover song. One of those songs that's just fun to play and jamband to.

[anorexorcist27]

this song reminds me of my school life. i never get tired of this song..Def leppard is purely heavy metal band at this time..

[DefLeppVidz]

Retroactive should've released instead of Adrenalize. 

[emoangel0926]

def leppard at best

[skulduggery1515]

This song is from the Hysteria era, but Steve never played on it. Joe wrote it, and then when they made retro-active Phil played the parts

[Novaflame1]

i luuurrrvvveee deff leppard

[blacknesskulk]

Joe elliot's voice here is fucking awesomeeeeee

God I miss steve clark riffs

[dennisbergkamp17]

Def Leppard's last good album in my opinion, after this, it all went down hill. I'll always have respect for their older stuff though, I grew up with it.

[Jamcad01]

@dennisbergkamp17 What about Euphoria?

[dennisbergkamp17]

@Jamcad01 Eh, I wasn't really crazy about Euphoria, but that's just my opinion.

[emoangel0926]

@dennisbergkamp17 how dare u say that they got better after this

[dennisbergkamp17]

@emoangel0926 Huh ? I said it went downhill after this album. There is nothing in my comment that even remotely suggests that I thought they got better after this.

[defAlixxRockIt61348]

i love how joe is singing and screaming notes at the beginning oh my goddd

[PersonOfBook]

@defAlixxRockIt61348 Very much like Rob Halford! isn't it?

[defAlixxRockIt61348]

@PersonOfBook who's he? lol

[PersonOfBook]

@defAlixxRockIt61348 Rob Halford is the lead singer of the heavy metal band Judas Priest! Arguably the greatest metal singer of all time! His screaming vocals style is very much like Joe Elliots!

[defAlixxRockIt61348]

@PersonOfBook lol oh xD thats cool =] i love def leppard, one of my favorite bands everrr

[batmanjwo]

Actually, I believe that Steve Clark is not on this track, but it was written in the Hysteria era. Helix covered it in 1987. Joe Elliott wrote the entire song and played everything on the demo. (I have it somewhere.) I think it is a better song because he didn't write it to be a hit like they have been doing lately.

[beetlegun]

Man i just love the outtro solo!! theres too little of it!!

I loved this song when i was 12. I still think its amazing, Def Leppard rules!!!

[Philmaka]

The awesome guitar parts are additions made by the great Phil Collen (not Steve Clarke) when this was finetuned/rerecorded for Retro-Active. The 'Helix' version (written by Joe) sounds third-rate compared to even the demo of this! This version is awesome, one of my absolute fave Leppard tracks! Joe at the top of end of his vocal pitch & is spot on! The way the song ends with the variations of the riff is killer!

[ma7799]

@Philmaka

So Steve Clark was not on this version at all? What is the Helix version?

[PersonOfBook]

Sometimes the singer sounds like Rob Halford! Doesn't he?

[lyonslaforet]

My favourite one on Retro-Active (1993) and a successful sleeve!

[Sajepperson]

Hey, Def Leppard is a talentless, pointless band,

[natyrockerita]

@Sajepperson you are a talentless and pointless guy... def leppard is awsome... :D

[maine6622]

great tune

[Confederate777]

whats up with the cover. it looks like a skull but its a girl lookin in a mirror

[heavy21metal]

@Confederate777

Optical illusion: seeing from far it seems a skull; near, it is a woman at the mirror.

[DevastationMetalSwe]

This song is on my dad's limited editon (digipack) version of "Adrenalize". Great song.

[Melirune]

I think Retro Active, High 'N' Dry, and On Through The Night remain the best Def Leppard albums.

[bambamh20]

DEF LEPPARD 4LIFE !

[PPX14]

helix cannot compare - it seems a bit too hazy

[jcarz24]

Helix version is much much better!

[randyana]

OMG!!! this is Def Leppard at it's BEST!! first time i heard this song and it's AWESOME!! AWESOME!!!

[randyana]

wow this is the Real DEF LEPPARD!!! oh i know why STEVE CLARK is in it!!!

[daidi0121]

Ok? Seriously? This is 1993 and Steve was dead by then. he OD in 1991 unfortunately. I honestly dont care for def leppard after this album. =/

[Boudosaved]

@daidi0121 this is a compilation album starting as early as 1983; it is possible that Steve is playing on this track; he wrote many of the songs that appear on this compilation album

[daidi0121]

@Boudosaved Could be possible that this tune has remmenants of the Classic Leppard sound... But still. I don't think Steve had much to do with this... If he did.. Maybe this is why I like it sooo much. Viv was a suitable replacement but imo hasn't made an actual contribution to Def Leppard.

[PlaTiNuMxFuZioN]

@randyana  no hes not.... he died in 1991.

This album = released in 1993

[C0r3d33zNutz]

@PlaTiNuMxFuZioN Its got new stuff and old stuff, this is earlier, he is in this.

[Jamcad01]

@PlaTiNuMxFuZioN This is a compilation of B sides from the Hysteria era. It has guitar parts by him on here.

[randyana]

@Grayndle Really ok if u say so, Anybody with a good ear and true fan of Def Leppard knows these songs were recorded between Pyromania & Hysteria. Everybody knows that.

[tommytom4]

@randyana He's not :( 

[letsgetrocked89]

Summer high-speed driving music :P good song!

[randyana]

thanks for posting! def leppard greatest rock band ever!!!!!!
