  • High and Dry was one of their best tours (:

  • saw these guys in the eighties..Great concerts..

  • Steve had the best hairstyle :-)

  • I was 16 when this came out and drank so much beer and alcohol and smoked so much danky dank it was rediculous. Listen to Def Lep's High and Dry album and you will rock like never before. Long live hearing impaired leppard!

  • I was at the recording of this video. It was when they were still good Still thought the first album was the best.

  • One of my favorite bands!

  • this isnt a cover this is when Pete Willis was still in the band this is the real Def Leppard.. try me

  • WOW, young Def Leppard Good memories from my childhood =)

  • I hate all these chicks trying to do there own versions of classic songs!

  • Wow, Rick Allen with two arms

  • I think this may be there absolute best song ever

  • KOOOOOOL!!!!!!

  • Like a child without a home.

  • The best power-ballad, for me.

  • He looks like Robert Plant.

  • my brother told me about this song. he said that when he was in high school def leppard had a concert here in san antonio, texas and that joe elliot said over the microphone that this was a ''wetback city'' . I wonder if this was true. Does ne1 know?

  • this reminds me of when I was 3, I loved listening to this on my walkman, but now they have shit like justin beiber on the radio in 2011...WHY GOD WHY?!?!?!

  • 1981

  • who the fuck dislikes def leppard? seriously wtf?

  • @swetchild7 im 12 years old and i was devastate dto fin out that Def Leppard was posponed to next tuesday

  • Guys, you really make Def Leppard fans look like retarded 10-year olds, stop it

  • I love this vidieo. Know one should ever cover any Def Leppard songs.I just saw them in concert on june thirtyth 2011 they kicked ass. they did this song I was in the front row there is know one better than Def Leppard!!!!!! Sookie 821

  • These guys are very cool loved em since 81 I was 9

  • Joe says "taking" in a London accent; probably in tribute to one of his idols David Bowie.

  • CAN'T WAIT TO SEE YOU GUYS LIVE FOR THE FIRST TIME THIS SUNDAY. EVERYTIME I WANTED TO SEE YOU THE TICKETS WERE ALWAYS SOLD OUT OR SOMETHING WOULD HAPPEN BUT NOW I CAN REALLY SEE YOU LIVE. JOE ELLIOT, RICK ALLEN, RICK SAVAGE, PHIL COLLEN, VIVIAN CAMPBELL. AND STEVE YOU WILL ALWAYS BE IN OUR HEARTS AND ON THAT STAGE THROUGHOUT EVERY DEF LEPPARD SHOW. ROCK ON, AND LONG LIVE THE 80s!

  • @swetchild7 I know I get to see them for the first time in 2 month and heart is opening!!! the rock gods would be proud of that day.

  • @swetchild7 Saw them in Cincinnati July 2011 and they rocked the house. I was stationed in Fort Lewis Washington in the 80's and went to there concert December 1987...GOOD TIMES. Hope you enjoyed the concert..

  • @68Morton very cool,

    Thank you very much for serving our country.

  • @scottydunn54 Your welcome. I think I was born to do that. I love my country!

  • @swetchild7 Well, how was the show????

  • hey guys check out my channel for some great covers and good music, and thanks swetchild7, ive been looking for this song EVERYWHERE!

  • great song

  • thinks she found her rollerskates.???? nope not here eather

  • Man I miss Steve Clark.

  • Awesome song, great band. By the way, you people knocking Mariah Carey - I'm $ure the band loved getting the royalties, and Joe Elliot has praised her version saying, "I think she's done a very good job. It's faithful to the arrangement,

    but not done like a rock song. Some astonishing vocal gymnastics toward

    the end that make Minnie Ripperton sound like Tom Waits." So like, chill with the hate.

  • We need to pretend todays music is good. hehehehehehe HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

    FUCK YOU music companies, you SUCK! Todays shitty music will be tossed into the trash heap of music history.

  • goddamn it, i want Steves Les Paul!!!!! NO FAIR!!!!

  • OMG!!! She killed this tune Mariah Carey you murderer you B otch.

  • I`m a true deff leppard fan and i like them all, It`s hard to come up with new tunes with out Steve Clark .

  • Dont get me wrong I love Def Leppards old shit like this but I dont care for the newer stuff after the drummer lost his arm. No Disrespect to Def Leppard or there drummer at all because he did a major thing by coming back after that but they seemed to change everything in the later years.

  • wow, drummer still got two arms

  • damn dat bitch mariah fucked up a perfectly good song

  • In my highschool newspaper someone was complaning that she felt like she was in the 80's at our homecoming dance before they were playing Def Leppard. I want to track her down and find out what the fuck is wrong with to 80s. >:D

  • @kristaxxnicole She deserves to get beaat!

  • @kristaxxnicole

    Nothing!

    It was one of the best couple years of music! I'm 30 and was introduced by my brother to the hairbands of 80's. Now I have a bobber and live life on the road..........................­...............

  • @kristaxxnicole how that animal dares to compare 80s to todays crap? she deserve death penalty right away buddy!

  • @kristaxxnicole i wish i grew up in the 80s

  • @acdcbagel sorry to hear you missed them then...

  • Mariah Carey needs to leave this classic rock alone.She needs to sit down

    and come up with her own crap to sing.

  • Seven idiots without a soul...This is truly one of the greatest Power Ballads out there and they were just kids. I think Rick was only 15 or something like that...And I'm happy to say I discovered them from the get go...Rock on boys, see y'all again on your next tour!

  • @yacope theres only 5 of them.Just saying.

  • fuck mariah, she is bitch and whore

  • DEF LEPPARD ROCKS....True Rock...Great Band. I love Def Leppard. Brings back so many memories...

  • One of the greatest rock song's of all time!!

    Freshmen album, Teenage kid's, Hard rock at it's best!

    The true Esience of Rock !

    Thanx guy's!!

  • this is before they were the worlds greatest 80s band eva next to BON JOVI

  • I still miss Pete Willis.

  • MARIAH CAREY? SORRY I'D BANG YOU AND EVERYTHING BUT DONT COVER DEF LEPPARD SONGS! FUCKING LEPPARD FOREVER! CAN'T WAIT TO SEE YOU GUYS IN JUNE. SHOULD BE THE BEST CONCERT EVER. LONG LIVE THE 80'S AND ALL THIS FUCKING KILLER 80'S MUSIC!!!!!!!!

  • does anyone know at about 19-20 seconds into the song you can here him whispering something?

  • @Mrpibbman I've also always heard that.

  • @Mrpibbman hes saying the words of the song in a small tone.I know because i have the record

    and always listen to it.

  • @Mrpibbman I hear the voices too...

  • @Mrpibbman I' ve always had the impression that he's saying something in spanish! Anyway, it's just a thought... I would...

  • @Mrpibbman You know Ive always wondered that too!

  • i love this fucking song FUCK THE RAP AND HIP HOP GARBAGE ROCK AND ROLL FOREVER :) STUPID KIDS OF TODAY DONT KNOW WHAT MUSIC IS And im one of them but i dont listen to SHITTY HIP HOP , RAP GARBAGE 80;'S Forever :)

  • Wicked song, love the Deffers....:)

  • I've said this a thousand times and I will say it again. Steve is the ONLY gutarist that could play this song and switch 625 perfectly. Nowadays they can't play this song for shit. The songs that were writen after Steve died are ok at best. The classic songs suck without Steve. 90% of the time I only listen to classic Def Leppard.

    I'm sure several people agree with me. I really wish they were at the top of their game like the 1980s.

  • MAN DO I WISH WHEN THEY DID THIS VIDEO,,THEY KEPT PLAYING INTO SWITH625,,GOD THAT FREAKIN ROCKS!!!!

  • PURE ROCK!!!! EPIC!!!!

  • It's too bad there aren't any bands like this anymore....

  • 4 minutes and 27 seconds of pure ecstasy !

  • Just goes to show that all good things come to an end,man!...Its a fuckin' shame, whatever happened to this generation/genre of rock/hard rock-which turned into metal. It really is a damn , damn shame....this generation of metal is gone..this layed the groundwork for all the post-metal bands that came from THIS ERA!! Only,people in this age category would know what we are talkin about..

  • @johnsilivriyanos

    AMEN :)

  • before they became dorks...YEP. they used to be cool

  • before they became dorks

  • this is an awsome tune i rember this tune like it came out yeasterday long live the the 80s and def leppard

  • One of my favorite leppard songs. This alongside songs like, "Photograph", show why def leppard were not to be denied. Anyone that doubts the talent of these guys are freakin stupid. Period. FKN dumb!!!! Def Leppard should be in the hall of fame. Their old stuff blows the noise of today's music out of the water. Hands down. Out of the water!!!

  • @tigerced73 I totally agree.I grew up in the 80's.and am here to tell ya,today's music doesn't get the job done period,end of story!!

  • @aarcudaman thanks. i agree with you, too. Music nowdays sucks. Its depressing. To much nonsense about, wooo is me, im depressed, why don't i kill myself, etc. The 1980's was about girls, partying, having a good time. Long live the 80's. Oh yeah, they will live!!!! The 1980's laid out a musical blueprint that will last for decades to come. Easily. Decades brother!!!

  • One of my favorite bands ever

    Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, Def Leppard, FUCK oh I just love British Rock

  • @TrafficMind10  I am hoping you like Sabbath, Stones, Deep Purple, Iron Maiden, Cream, Queen,Radiohead etc as well.......or may be i am just guessing.

    British Rock has given rock fans so much joy - such an embarrassment of riches !

  • @nagee76 You guessed it right, I love British Rock:

    Led Zeppelin, The Who, Black Sabbath, Deep Purple, Pink Floyd, Radiohead, Queen, Yardbirds.

  • @TrafficMind10  Sorry for leaving out, you know Who :=) in my initial list. May be, just may be... there should be a rock fest celebrating British Rock - Rock, Roll and Rule Britannia !

  • great video… but studio overdub to a live video…still looks and sound great!

  • this is by far one of my favorite songs! but two steps behind is ultimately my favorite song!!

  • A***S-KICKIN' ROCK DON'T GET MUCH BETTER THAN THIS!

  • For this band to go through all the shit it has had to go through,and they are still goin, and STILL rockin,(just saw them last year in concert!) They deserve a lot of respect! My fav band since I was 6!

  • lolumad brah?

  • They probably wrote this song in anticipation of crappy music of the future!

  • just heard an original called, " IN YOUR MIND " by andrew gerbasi, i liked it. Have a listen and post a comment there if you agree. Cheers!!!

  • of corse yurr wanting tew talk bout ma personal buisness && i dnt like dat!!!

  • @XJessBramX So on a scale of 1-10 how mad are you?

  • @re4master321 well does eht realli matter!!! all yhu knw iz dat im mad RITE! dat should be a good enough awnser fur yhu!!

  • @XJessBramX  So....you mad?

  • Fucking amazing song and band.

    R.I.P. Steve, you're sorely missed.

  • who would know this video rocks so much,when will the rap stop and bring back rock.

  • i think the only reason y they added the Synth in the background to the 84 verison was so they could tell the diff from when Pete was in the band. cuz if they didnt it would sound the same if anything. lol just throwing that out there LOL

  • Great song.This version is the best version.I dont like the one with synthesizers on it.This was is more rockier.

  • I love this old video with a dark-haired Joe Elliot- they are geniuses!

  • Damn! Can't remember the song following this one!

  • this version is way better than the 84' version and WAY WAY WAY better than m. carey's verison.

  • Agreed.Mariah Carey's version is good but this one is way better.The 84 version of this song is mediocere at best.This one kicks ass.

  • - priceless !!!

  • i like both versions of the song. but i dont see why everyone hates mariah and thinks she a horrible person. ok you dont like her cover but you dont have to be immature about it and wish she would die!

  • Lets she m. carey do a IRON MAIDEN song. Like (WOE TO YOU OH EARTH AND SEA FOR THE DEVIL SENDS THE BEAST WITH WRATH BECAUSE HE KNOWS THE TIME IS SHORT, LET HIM WHO HATH UNDERSTANDING RECKON THE NUMBER OF THE BEAST, FOR IT IS A HUMAN NUMBER, IT'S NUMBER IS 666). SING THAT KILLER METAL SONG m. carey. HA HA HA HA. 80S HEAVY METAL RULES. IRON MAIDE NEVER DID A COVER SONG. YOU KNOW WHY. THEY HAVE TO MUCH STYLE AND TALENT AND DON'T HAVE TO STEAL OTHER GROUPS SONGS.

  • Comment removed

  • pfft, fucking mariah carey, needs to come up with her own tunes and leave these classic ROCK songs alone

  • @metalgear215 Couldn't agree w/ you more on that. If it ain't broken, don't fix it.

  • Thanks for posting this 80's classic! As far as I am concerned I agree w/ metelgear this is the only version. Mariah should've never messed with it. You can't fix something that ain't broken.

  • @gemdavey One of my favorite of the 80's! I am glad I posted this

  • Prison planet com

  • MC doing a song like this is part of a fad I guess. I just saw a video of Sheryl Crowe singing Sweet Child o Mine from GNR! Travesties abound!

  • @StevenVerd You know Sweet Child of Mine is a cover?

    Sheryl Crow is the original singer, GNR made the cover, not her

    Not saying I prefer Sheryl Crow, but Im just telling you the truth

  • @TheMasterWolf24 I don't know how accurate that is. I always thought that it was a song Axl wrote for Stephanie Seymour, this model chick that he was with for a time. It seems kind of weird Sheryl Crowe would write a song from a male perspective which is what Child o Mine is, but who knows. Maybe I'm wrong.

  • "Crow's cover of the Guns N' Roses song "Sweet Child o' Mine," which was included on the soundtrack of the film Big Daddy. " look wiki. and forget your stupid thoughts

  • as farr as i can tell real metal bands are not going to bow down to all that corporate crap, grandfunk railroad didn't bow down to disco, why would real metal bands bow down to all that corporate crap in the first place. real metal bands are still out there rocking out the best that they can do it. a lot of them just like to keep it real. look at bret michaels he is very real and he is out there rocking just as hard as when he was with poison. real metal is out there. just listen for it.

  • this video rocks

  • ahhh..the tone of the Gibson Explorer

  • I like the original version of this just a tad bit better than the '84 remix that has synthesizers in it. You can never beat the original of this song.

  • FUCK MAN THIS THING SHOULD HAVE A GIGABILIION VEIWS FUCK!!!

  • @shadowlefty1 ikr

  • @shadowlefty1 LOL!

  • @shadowlefty1 hey, they young idiots that USUALLY are on here,they dont get it, their too busy lookin up lady gaga shit,they dont know anything about real music!

  • @shadowlefty1 AMEN BRO!!!!!!

  • @shadowlefty1 hell yeah

  • Its the Heavy Metal Lover's revenge when all these neo pop and hip hop lovers search on youtube for paltry remakes done by modern day 'mistakes' they call 'artistes' and get to see where the TRUE music came from in the search results.You know, no matter how you try to keep a GREAT thing down it will always live on and resurface in ways 'the establishment' will never expect. I like other forms of music too but I call it as I see it. Quality is quality period! The music industry needs an overhaul.

  • This is one of thier BEST albums EVER!!!!!!!! =)

  • Crap, Maria Carey singing this was as bad as celin dion singing AC DC. Who says metal is dead? You dont see Metallica, Def Leppard or any of the other bands from the 80s remaking Britny Speers or Cristina Agulara...and If you do, kill me NOW!!!!!!!!! becasue metal is truly dead.

  • @opforcop Metal's still alive, but the corporate schlemiels who run the music industry push the butternut music (i.e. sugarpop). Most of the hard rock/metal they play on the radio lacks fire...and when they play the hard stuff it's only Metallica...and more Metallica...Radio is just like Walmart....they never give the real people what they want...they cater only to the pod people.

  • Oh yeah this is all i listen to now that i know theres no chance with the girl i love. Thank god for music

  • i agree

  • this is such a good song.

  • Man these guys ripped off mariah carrey !!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • @TheProNaslund are you serious? or are you kidding? this was Def Leppard's song first asshole, and this was made way before her makeup ass dicksucking barby peice of shit ass came in to this world.

  • @TheProNaslund stupidest comment ever

  • Carey's version is horrible. She sucked the soul out of the song. Her voice is not what it used to be.

  • Power ballads didn't ruin metal, shit bands like cinderella, poison & great white ruined metal, even motley crue changed into a fluff band it was like pop metal.

  • @yellowdog2468

    Well said!

    Although I admit to liking "Nobody's Fool" and "Don't Know What You've Got...."

    As for Poison and GW...never liked 'em.

    Def Leppard went soft too. "Bringin' On The Heartbreak" was awesome (still love it), but they went overly soft and commercial by 1987's Hysteria. Yeah, it was their biggest, most successful album to date, but they were quite a ways from High n' Dry, musically speaking.

  • @yellowdog2468 I agree, with the exception of Cinderella which was a notch above the others you mentioned.

  • Chill out!!!! It is just a effin song.. Alot of artist remake older songs. And i am sure Def Leppard got paid nicely for that..

  • Nirvana is a completely different genre of music you twit....username=thetammy1122

    To even compare the two makes it evident you don't know shit about music.

  • The bass player looks like he's trying to win the Steve Priest look alike contest.

  • best in the 80's! when it MATTERED!

  • MY BROTHER SAYS THAT THE POWER BALLADS OF THE 80S KILLED ROCK AND ROLL MUSIC, BUT HE IS CRAZY BECAUSE ALL HE LISTENS TO IS ACDC AND HE SAID THEY NEVER SOLD OUT AND MADE A BALLAD AND IF THEY DID HE WOULD LOSE ALL RESPECT FOR THEM. I SAY NIRVANA KILLED GOOD MUSIC. DEF LEPPERD IS ONE OF THE BEST GROUPS OF THE 80S.

  • @TheTammy1122 How exactly does a group (in this case, Nirvana) kill good music? ?? I must have missed out on that. Was it in the news?

  • @TheTammy1122 Actually they did kinda make one ballad. It's called love song if you want to look it up.

  • never gets old,,,,never

  • This is how my ears get laid

  • this is one of the best def leppard songs ever!!!!! <3

  • so young then...it has a pleasure to see them grow thorough out the years

  • def leppard♥ loveee

  • tragic what happened to the drummer but they stuck together through it all and there music was always legendary

  • Tike'in on the best of meee...

  • This song Fucking ROCKS!!!!

  • I love it!

  • NOMBRE DE LA PELICULA????

  • the DRUMMER has ONE ARM, not hand.. and they have ALWAYS kicked ass.. always will! R.I.P STEVE

  • i personally always liked this singer than the other

  • @slashogamer there was only one singer in def leppard but i know what you mean

  • @slashogamer What other singer? Joe Elliot is the only one they have ever had!

  • death to m.carey for turning this song into bubble gum pop f'ing b@#$%

  • As Americans I think we like the sound of foreigners speaking English. They produce different inflections on our ordinary words in a way that speaks to us. Its different and we love it. Rush, Scorpions, The knife, Triumph, British Invasion etc.

    Thats why it sounds uncharacteristic and different and better than our everyday stuff,because it is. Kinda neat and this observation comes from my own affliction for foreign American Rock and Roll. 60s to Present. Think about it I might be right. Thanks

  • oh my god!!!!!!!!!!!!!I just saw m.carey remade this.done up like a dime store barbie singing f-ing def lepperd.i know the world is going to end soon.i think im gonna puke...................ef u all u m.c fans who think she's better cause you're too young to know any different

  • @courtzdoom hell yeah i went nuts when i heard her singing this in the radio

  • @courtzdoom despite what the cunt did to the song , and as hard as she could try, she will never and i mean ever be able to replace the original 

  • @courtzdoom could not have said it any better
