  • classic

  • Great tune. Great riffs galore on those old records!

  • @skullkap1 The tastiest riffs ever were written during this time. RATT is seriously nasty on that front.

  • the GOLDEN era of Lep's career . . . and an amazingly HOT performance here of one of their top 5 songs. Sweet!

  • First album i ever had. BADAZZ!!!

    

  • LOVE DEF LEPPARD, and if u do too, watch VH1's Hysteria: The Def Leppard Story. :D

  • That fuckin' kicked ass! Was waitin' for the "Bang Bang" at the end.

  • If one more person says def leppard after pyromania sucked after Rick lost his arm they didn't have energy joes lost his edge... Give me a fuckin break they were awesome during pyromania there awesome today so Joe cant scream like that anymore u try screaming into a mike for 30 years see what it does to ur vocal cords u ass holes all of u don't know shit about music and if anything they had MORE energy when Rick lost his arm because when he came back it was so inspirational so all of u who dis

  • @cudaplaya12 no way did they suck but you cant say they havent declined since then, although the same has happened to all bands their age, i saw them a few years back and they where awesome. Personally though i think they peaked with pyromania, it had the perfect mix of hard rock and melody, bar a few tracks hysteria was just a pop album which they wrote just to conform to the times.

  • All u people saying Phil sucks well who's in a rock band A dam good one I might add u or him how can u say he sucks? What's ur definition of good then? I'm pretty positive none* of u can play like any of them so chill with Phil sucks

  • Listen to how shitty Phil's solo sounds in this. Yes he has speed, but that's all he has. It sounds like his picking hand is barely connecting with his fretting hand, and the notes have no definition to them. Willis was better even though he didn't shred. He was a better songwriter + better tone. He influenced a lot of people like Dimebag and Paul Gilbert. His playing on the first DL album is amazing.

  • @CotierW I'd like to see you do better Mr Eddie Van Halen.

  • holy shit fuckin rad

  • Wow!!!

  • Phil was good just more of a shredder

  • bang bang into the pickups of phils guitar

  • Pete Willis was best.

  • Sweet Jesus Joe screamed like no other. Damn cool!

  • the best of 80's !!!

  • what a band...first four albums made more of an impact than the rest of thier carrers

  • Unbelievably a great performence! Def Leppard where such a kick ass band. Too bad they sucked ass after this, and really fucking sucked after Steve's death.

  • I love to hear this song live cuz this song sounds better live , it has it metal roots , BANG BANG !

  • Phil is so fuckin sloppy.

  • @OnTheRunSinceBirth to me phil never suited this band, they could have done a lot better, pete willis wrote this song, and the better ones off pyromania

  • @vanhalen515084

    Pete was great man him and Clark were such a good balance to me. 

  • @vanhalen515084 Sorry dude I disagree. The stats say otherwise...yes Pete Willis was great but he was a drunk and deserved to get fired. The band did just fine with Phil Collen even after Pyromania. I saw them this week in Charlotte with Heart and they still rock! What has Pete done lately??? Enough said.

  • @tunnelrat223 I saw that show too!!! Phil was awesome!!!!!!!!!!

  • Clark baby! Numero Uno.

  • Yea im tottally a Regan baby was a year old when this song came out. But now find myself wareing levis , the reo speed wagon t shirt, and own a 1980 and 81 datsun 280 zx's. And of course when the kiddies blast rap. I find this song blast it through my rockfords and give them a taste of the 80's. Damn if only I can find a feather roach clip to hand from the rear veiw.

  • Concluded, songwriting material. Prime example im sure you all would agree wish would drop dead : P DIDDY... nothing but spinoffs ripoffs and never original does it all for tha money not for 1. tha love of tha music + 2. and fans. = 3. The fame and fortune, whereas bands of the 80's did do just that for tha love of music tha fans and got what?? Tha fame & fortune. Sad shame hip hop lies no talent but yet sells millions anyone of us can do just that, for tha money. Be true to yourself, to your m

  • Ever seem to notice dont matter what era you grew up in, for me was the 80's and u just dont get any better made music than the 80's metal, heavy metal, thrash, commercial metal..... when each band put out their own albums with little help from other artists if none at all. And still sold albums nationwide!!! Not like tha crap bands today from C/rap, hip hop, top billboard charts, where they can only sell big-when big named artists have a big hand in the production of these non-original songwri

  • This is such a great performance! These guys were amazing then. Joe Elliot's voice sounds awesome.

  • An awesome band in 83. Absolutely fantastic.

  • Joe Elliot as Lead Vocal, Phil Collen on Lead/Rhythm Guitar/Vocals, Steve Clark on Lead/Rhythm Guitar/Vocals, Rick Savage on Bass/Vocals and Rick Allen on Drums/Vocals.

  • one of the best songs off pyromania

  • @vanhalen515084 I like all there songs 

  • the last yr that def leppard were good, and a drummer with 2 arms, with the loss of pete willis and the drummer only to play with one arm, they just didn't have that energy that made them great

  • who is the drummer?

  • @TheJimsky143 Rick Allen, when he had two arms.

  • @WesOrion

    whats happen to his arm?

  • @TheJimsky143 it has been well known that his left arm was severed in an automobile accident he had with his brand new Corvette, but I assume you are a young person.

  • @WesOrion thanks man for info...i already search him a while ago in wiki.

    yes it's true.i'm 23 years old and i love rock n roll,,i dont like the music today.so boring

  • These guy's been rock'n since they were teenagers. Hysteria is epic. my childhood!

  • @yyamahabill exactly and MTV still was MTV.

  • I don't get it, Def Leppard done Rock N Roll right. What the fuck happend? What happend to music in general?

  • @ultrachasersfan it was industrialized by assholes that think that singers and entertainers need to shock the audience with stupid costumes and faggot dancers.

  • My favorite song from the album, it has power, feeling, an excelent interpretation... LOVE IT!

  • I think my face melted around 4:02

  • Wish the Lep would perform songs like this now, and less of their ballad crap.

  • Beiber fans defininly would not like this.

    This is real music.

  • @thorpeC14 you got that fucking right!!!

  • fuck i thought it was steve that held the band together but it was phil the whole time, fuck what a genius.

  • If I only had a time machine...I could go back to 1983 and see this concert....and get some good stock tips. haha

  • singing along to def lep hurts so good.....don't know how joe does it....rock on boys.....

  • !!!! love from slovenia !!!

  • long live def, and al the songs , whole lotta ballssssssssss

  • WOAH lol joes screaming his face off when they play the chorus xD

  • this is probably my favorite DL song! I've only heard it played live once, way back on the Pyromania tour. They should listen to fans and play this next tour!

  • I feel bad for kids growing up today, they have no new decent rock music to listen to unless they're willing to go back at least until the early '90s. Pretty much all crap. And this isn't because I'm getting old, I think it lacks balls, it isn't creative or loud ENOUGH.

  • the best song de def leppard N# 1

  • T_T *sniff* So good....

  • amazing...... perfect.... i love this band.. so MUCH

  • My first introduction to Def Leppard was when I was only 14 and it was the Pyromania album. The song Billy's got a gun is the song that made them my favorite group and continues to be my favorite group even though I am 42 yr. old now. I finally got to go to one of their concerts a few years and it was every bit as awesome as I thought it would be. My 20 yr. old daughter loves to remind me that I am forever stuck in the 80's and I consider that a compliment LOL!

  • @ihydenout same here buddy, same here.. i remember listening to this album over and over while coding on my VIC20... good times..

  • @ihydenout

    You can assure her that she will be stuck in the decade that she grew up in as well.

  • the greatest rock band ever.

  • découverte du métal avec ce groupe et surtout cette chanson que j'adorais

  • elliott is such an arrogant idiot. pop for girls.

  • @MultiPhil2009 Why did you say that?? are you sure what you're telling about Dr. Kreosote???ehhh!

  • @MultiPhil2009 so are you allergic to talent if its not metal?

  • @MultiPhil2009 Funny, your comment comes off as arrogant idiocy. Ellliot fronts a band that has sold over 70 million albums. His band is one of only 5 that has released two albums (Pyromania and Hysteria) that have sold over 10 million units (the other bands to have done this are: The Beatles, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd and Van Halen,... pretty good company). The band he's in outsold competitors like U2, Bon Jovi, Whitesnake, and Aerosmith. If he's arrogant, he's more entitled to be than you are.

  • I was 18 when this album come out.. One awesome album that got me in lot's of trouble :) Most remember Foolin rock of ages but I thin every song on this album was good stuff..

  • I went to Pyromania tour before the Album too off what a show they were great

  • I love it in the beginning when everyone in the crowd clap their hands!I think this was a popular song,though it never was released as a single :D

  • Great song....

  • Joe Elliot's voice was amazing. Unfortunately, he has lost his edge. But he is older, and he has been screaming for over thirty years. No matter what, Def Leppard was unbeatable. They rocked hard and mighty! Still appreciate them for all they have given to the music world. ROCK ON!

  • @Treaty4 Man he is going for it here! Singing his ass off! They were killing it here...

  • @Treaty4 You're damned right!

  • @Treaty4 <3 \m/\m/ absolutely this guy raised me:} he HAS lost his edge, i think since they dont HAVE to SING FOR THEIR SUPPER anymore

  • that's actually a pretty decent live performance.

  • Man, Phil Collen can shred! and Joe Elliot has a voice like no other... his voice is so rough n' tough!

  • Great song. I just recenlty heard this live version and can't stop listening to it. Definitely Leppard at their best.

  • <3 <3 <3

  • Def Leppard at their BEST! Too bad after Pyromania they wimped out!

  • @1992YR I agree

  • amen cheese787

  • Damn, Elliot's vocals are freakin' awesome here. This song is amazing, one of my Def Leppard's favorites.

  • i need one of those British shirts! does any one kno where to get one? or if they have one an Irish Flag one

  • nice vid, one of the best songs of old good DEF LEPPARD

    hey i also have a tribute vid to def leppard,:

    naruto def leppard rocket_0001.WMV

  • Sounds better than the lp version without all those cheesy synths. As much as Mutt Lange's production helped their sound then, it holds them back nowadays. If you were around then, you can appreciate it for what it meant to you in your youth, but it dates them now. I can't even listen to Hysteria. Never could. They sound much ballsier just playing without being overproduced.

  • Def Leppard was the first concert I had ever seen. I was only 15 at the time, but all I remember was that it was the greatest thing I've ever seen. I saw them again when I was 40 and thought they still rocked! Truly one of the greatest bands ever!

  • This is rock'n roll at 100% of purity.

  • joe elliot's vocals are decent but not great. it's a shame he really can't hit high notes as the record would have you believe. saw these guys several times and unfortunately he really can't do hit high notes well ...kinda like bon jovi. still a huge fan but am a little disappointed. ended up enjoying bryan adams set better as his voice is still quite crisp. was too young to check out an 80s gig but if this is how they sounded, kinda glad i missed it.

  • Awesome!!!

  • OMG!I wish I was there,but it was still 16 years left for me to be born......DEF LEPPARD ROCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Their pretty cool. My mum has the album of them, been going though piles of them. and this one seem interesting. :)

  • It really is amazing to hear Joe sounding so crisp, and Steve on top of his game. Had Steve not gone, I wonder how much farther they would have gone. As it stands for me, I lost hope after Hysteria. Slang was an honorable try, but they lost so much integrity with Steve.

  • I'm no expert on them,but a friend of mine who worked in a record store,said that hysteria was their best selling album.

    and they never managed to follow that up as long as he worked there.

  • Cool footage, thanks for posting

  • Can someone remove the static

  • What footage is this from?

  • I thought what Phill done on his solo was great : )

    I love when Joe yells in the pickup \m/ \m/ !!!!!!!!!!!

    Def Leppard RULES!!!!!!!!!

  • Holy crap!!this is fast!!!Rock on!!!

  • I loved this video until Phil chops up the solo at 4:08 - total crap!

  • I saw no problem with it.

  • Actually, I meant 4:02- 4:06- It's so sloppy it's pathetic- If you don't agree you need to get your hearing checked and learn a little about fluid guitar playing. Usually Phil plays consistent, but sloppy on quite a few occassions!

  • Makes more sense. This is still a decent video though.

  • You're right, actually it's an awesome video overall. Sorry, if I seemed so critical, I guess my 'perfectionist mentallity" gets in the way sometimes. I'll admit I screw on occasion too- (LOL) I mean screw Up!

  • imagine that...

  • imagine this...()l()

  • Yeah....ok..Mr.perfect. :)

  • At least I can admit I make mistakes. Why don't you elaborate on what you think about Phil's solo? That's what the comment section is for , Right? "Giving our opinion" or maybe I am wrong on that too?

  • "CAN YOU FEEL IT IN THE AIR" Doesnt get any better than that!! Joe in his prime! Long live Def Leppard!!!

  • Love Joe's sexy moves...:)

  • i know man...and the way rick used to play traditional with his left hand...and now it's gone.

  • they rock so hard!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • boy this was back when rick allen had his other arm. lol. thats too bad he got in the accident.

    joe's a bit strong on the voice here.

  • I just saw them tonight my god they were amaaazinnggggg! it was awesome

  • i don't know about anybody else but i noticed that all the def leppard drumming parts were sub consciously written for a one armed drummer.

  • yeah, well he doesn't have one arm here now does he?

  • Well it is a fact that Joe Elliott always tried to get Rick Allen to dumb down his drum tracks, Rick was an amazing drummer when he had both limbs, much better than most people know

  • he is an even better drummer now that he has one arm. i think joe knew what was going to happen before it happened

  • Right....*pets your head*

  • greatest rock band of all time

  • Def Leppard for life! :P

  • DEF LEPPARD 4 LIFE!

  • STRONG!

  • Strong

  • yeah after 83 when Hysteria came out its like wtf.

  • thats stupid they didn't play photograph on this concert

  • This song is greatttttttttttttttttttttttttt­tttttttt!!!!!!

  • i wish joe still had the crisp powerfull unbreakable voice now like he did then. even some of it. man he could scream then!!!!! awsome.

  • God i miss this band. after 1983 they lost me man.

  • DEF LEPPARD 4LIFE !

  • call me crazy but i would love to see them do a show playing just the songs on the first two records. the set list would go: every song on the first two records cause they kick fucking ass!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • this is from their 3rd record.

  • yeah i know its off pyromania, i was just saying it would be awesome to hear the very early stuff,

  • Even if they tuned 3 tones down Joe Elliot couldn't sing their early stuff well.

    Not his fault. He was singing on his limit then. Now it's been 26 years.

    (Crap... 26 friggin' years... time flies...)

  • Awesome lyrics

  • Steve Clark is a dinosaur rock guitar player for sure. Attitude, balls, tone, creative, and a fucking monster rock star stage presence. They don't make em like that anymore.

  • Pure heart and soul of the band.

  • The ... riffmaster. Irreplaceable.

  • Man, Steve Clark was so great! RIP STEVE! You are surely missed!

  • Ok Steve looks pretty damn cool during his solo!

  • this song is fuckin AWSOME MAN!!!!!!!

    and wats even better is cos this is when they wher still up n comin

  • A huge thanks to England for giving us such an awsome band and song!!!

  • best lep song of ALL TIME!! fuckina

  • Fuckin awesome

  • I LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OOOOOVE this song!!!!!!!

  • its a shame that steve died

  • so damn true.. he's the best!

  • take that back....they trade off on that one

  • Joe's voice sounds so good on this! The guitar tone is HUGE too. A great performance!

  • YEA MAN

  • That was a bit harsh. Yea he's lost some as most do over the years depending on their style, but it's still Def Leppard. You know of a better rock band today?

    I'd want to relive my glory years, and so would you. Walk a mile in their shoes...

  • @crankitup6969 STEEL PANTHER are actually better... 

  • Come on dude, no tribute band even compares. Ya Joe has lost a bit from screaming for so long, it happens. You are way over negative.

  • This song should have been a top hit for them.

    Maybe they should have saved it for the next album.... oops that was Hysteria !!

    Maybe for the next one.... Love these guys...

    They are the best and still together...

  • I love this song. It's always been a favorite of mine. It really rocks! I do enjoy watching these videos of early live performances. I think it's so cool how good they were at such a young age. I think they were great back then and just got better and better as they got older. Def Leppard rocks and I don't care what anyone else says.

  • This sounds awesome!!

  • i love every song on pyro, actually i love every lep song ive ever heard, and i could listen [and commonly do] to the same lep album over and over again, you never get burned out on lep, they ROCK

  • I love how Joe says "Ok. It's from our latest and greatest album, Pyromania." Little did he know their next album, Hysteria would be the phenomena that would over shadow Pyro, as far as how well it sold anyway. I'm just like you. I love every Def Leppard song I've ever heard. I simply can't pick a favorite one. I'll hear one and think it's my favorite. Then I hear another and think the same thing. Like you said, you don't ever get burnt out on them. They're just too awesome!

  • i'm diggin this hon. ty

  • You are welcome.

  • i feel the same way,my current fav lep song is the one im either listening to, or last listened to,

  • Yeah man your right it's too hard to pick a favorite one i feel exactly like you !

  • They are the original "boy band" IMO. Only teenagers when they released On Through The Night (which rawks BTW). Few bands were talented beyond their years like Def Lep.

  • You sure are right about that. I never thought about it until I started watching these old videos. I see these and think they were just kids when they began! I never realized it even though I've listened to them since they came out with OTTN. It didn't hit me though how young I was too when I began listening to them b/c I'm about the same age! Guess I was just a kid too huh? LOL To have began at such a young age, gone thru all they've gone thru, and remain top artists is a truly amazing feat!!

  • steve clark is so good!!!!!!

  • is this on dvd !?! i gotta get it !?!?

  • fuck these guys are tight live! steve clark had an incredible feel for what riffs and chords went with their sound (round 3.45 is a perfect example)

  • They do still play this. Been to a concert recently?

  • Back on the Hysteria Tour and Adrenalize Tour they didn't play Billy's Got a Gun. They also didn't play Mirror Mirror on those tours. Their finally playin Mirror Mirror again. I admit i haven't seen them in concert since '92

  • I'm sure they played Billy's Gotta Gun when I saw them last year. I've heard them play this during more than one concert. I'm pretty sure the Adrenalize Tour was the one time they came to Indy that I've not gone in 20 years or so if I'm remembering right. I can't remember at exactly which concert they played what, but I do remember Billy's Gotta Gun during last summer because my neice hadn't heard it before. She was 12 then and it was her first Def Lep concert.She liked it though!

  • Yeah i just pulled up their playlist from Aug. of 1992 and Billy's not on their playlist. I saw them back to back nights in Toledo in 92 and they didn't play it. It's great to see them playin Billy and Mirror Mirror again. Their concerts in 1983 sold out so quickly it was very difficult to get tickets

  • in the past 4 years i've seen them 5 times and havent heard them play this. but i live in boston so they could have very well played this in other shows. but its badass and they should play it every night!
