It just makes me so sad...all that talent and gorgeousness....that sweet face...even though I am sure he was naughty! LOL A fun kind of naughty but there always seems to be a sadness in his eyes...
@MrTerrycarnut well...steve came up with an idea and him and phil develped parts to this tune, steve died and phil finished it having to play steves parts which he said felt wierd because steve came up with it and phil had to be steve to record it "it was creepy"
I will never forget when my dad told me 20-years ago that he was listening to the local radio station 94-HJY in Providence, Rhode Island USA in his truck and he told me that Steve Clark of Def Leppard passed away and I was only 13 years old at the time and I did cry for a few weeks R.I.P Steve you will never be forgotten
I remember reading a music magazine when i was in the philippines. it read : Sorry but i have to start with a bad news. The guitarists of def leppard Steve Clark was found dead at his hotel room. sad. all my buddies loved HYSTERIA but they didnt know who steve was. RIP STEVE!!!
i agree def leppar isn´t same without steve!!!!! Steve was guitar god and great person we love you steve an we never forget you ....R.I.P. i missed you very very much
i 've seen steve clark, live just before his death ..... in the round, boston ....he , randy rhoads , eddie van halen made me learn to play the axe ... these guys r rock n roll !!!!!!
I have been watching several tributes to Steve Clark and it has brought me to tears. I guess b/c he was my age when he passed away. GONE BUT NEVER 4GOTN!
@brandino13 Well, I don't know if I'd go QUITE THAT FAR, but, well, ure close, ure close...................Sorry, I'm just not ready to admit that Steve was, well, basically 100%. Pure Grade A, BADA*S enough to make GOD HEADBANG. That's stretching it just a "little bit..........................."
I totally agree. Comedian Mitch Hedburg and Steve seemed to have been battling the same demons and left us all the same way. Damn I miss them both dearly.
This a beautiful song, for an amzing guy, sit back, relax and rember him, for today is his bithday, and this song is great to sum up the love the other leppards had for him. i want to cry:( the slide show is lovely and breathtaking.
This song is so sad f you really listen to the lyrics I keep asking myself if Steve was still alive would he still be in Def Leppard? I would hope he would be ♥Steve Clark♥
i read in hit parader that steve killed himself. that is a FUKKIN LIE!!! hit parader sucks! steve was a legend in the making, a true legend. he probably could join fallout boy if he was dared 2, and make them good, not blow donkey balls like they do now, and forever will. RIP Steve, the best!
The song is called white lightning because that was Steve's nic name, also a slang phrase for coke. Other poster was right, Phil was his best friend and probably the most devastated.
BTW STEVEs DEATH WAS NOT ONLY DUE TO ALCOHOLISM BUT OVER USE OR WRONGLY USE OF PRESCRIPTION DRUGS == STEVE ALSO HAD A PROBLEM WITH COKE. I ALWAYS WONDER IF STEVE HAD LIVE WOULD HE BE INTO THE 90S IN DRUG HARION?
Hey people's go study ur facts about steve clark and everything didn't get out of hand when phil got in def leppard steve was one of phil's best friends
Yeah just read about Steve Clarke. My comment seems insensitive now. What a nightmare! I wonder why it got so bad when he had Phil in the band? I guess with depression, normal reasoning doesnt apply. Great production on this song!
