Def Leppard Work It Out - Pine Knob Detroit ToTP

[suemak56]

Thank Gawd this was Top of the Pops, it's completely playback. I hate it when they don't sing and play..

[uneedmorecowbelll]

This song needs more cowbell!!

[piginasack]

This is a great song from Vivian. That middle bit always stirs my soul. Loved it from the first second I heard it.

[shaunalegg]

Interesting video. They are lip-syncing for the show. I think they thought it a necessary evil. Been a fan for 30 years. Although Slang took some getting used to for me it is just another side of the creative coin. Love it for what it is. No need to compare.

[milio1995]

i'm the one who turns you on

[lahsrock]

good, very good

[ttomtexastyler]

An Enormous Comeback Song for these Rocker Lads, Ranks right up there in the Top-Ten- Lep Classics, awesome Lyrics!!

[KOSMICKEN09]

i was pissed they cancelled their recent tour. cheap trick was opening whom is my alltime fave live band.

[Megaboredkid]

i'm 13 and i freaking love def leppard they r 1 of my fave bands my mom got me hooked to them my other fave bands BonJovi and Poison i've listened 2 longer but i love all three they r the best in my opinion

[MRMIdAS2k]

@Megaboredkid

hey glad u like them i started listening as a kid cause of my dad im 21 and went to see them last year in my and their homecity of sheffield

[bonjovilvr3]

14 over here! does that not make me a good enuff candidate to b a fan??

wow. thats one of the most stupid comments i think i've ever heard.

def leppard rocks regardless!!!!

[ILOVEGNR15]

I don't understand why Slang got so much shit said about it. I loved Slang, especially "Where Does Love Go When It Dies."

Also, I'm 17 and I think Def Leppard is the most amazing band ever. even though you might not think a kid would know anything about them, since they've been out way before I was born, think again because I know everything about them. I'm a true die-hard fan, even though I haven't been with them since they first came out

[RockJunkie04]

haha, awesome I'm not the only 17 year old with a brilliant taste in music.

Def Leppard is also one of my favorite bands and i know/heard everything they've released!

Keep Rocking!

[spiralmetal]

Me, too. Slang is an excellent record. Wide diversity of brilliant songs.

[GreatSexyHerald]

Oh and by the way.......actually having 15 and 16 year old kids also being fans is nothing but positive for the band. At least if you want them to be around for at least a little bit of more time. If the fan base is getting more youthfull and also with the all timers also there, this can only be good for the band. So I wouldn't diss any new fan specially if they are young. A fan is a fan specially a diehard one. Again no offense intended to anyone here!! Rock On!!

[GreatSexyHerald]

Hey hey hey yo yo yo wait a minute guys!! Erhm......no offense intended to any fan here (specially the more "experienced" ones jejeje) but what is all this BS about "having to be with the band since the begining..." to be a true fan. I mean come on......I'm 27 so when they were at the begining I wasn't even born so what the fuck do I do?? I go and ask Doc and Marty to rent me the Delorian so I can travel in time to their first gig at the Westfiel School??!! LOL!!! ;)

[DarkAngel182]

Fantastic, thanks for sharing!

[IfItWasntForYou]

How's 21 yrs. I know I'm a true fan, even if that's not good enough. lol. Great video.

[JenPa39]

lost in the pack Joe??? I'll come find ya.... Does any one else wanna help me??? first one who finds him, gets to keep him.. Finders keepers!!! lmao Nice vid by the way.. Joe looking hot as ever again... Like the song to..

[Gathol]

Sav's bringin that '70's funk ya know?

[SteveClarkRockGod]

This is just awesome i cant believe how good they are!! LONG LIVE ROCK N ROLL DEF LEPPARD!

[Gathol]

i love the lost in the pack shirt. I want one. :) how u b?

[SteveClarkRockGod]

good how are you?

[Gathol]

much better now ty. real life was really gettin me down

[maxywaxyred]

I was at that show at Pine Knob that night.

[VRfan73]

Slang was and still is better than anything they have released, it smokes Hysteria.

[gagebrwn]

That's a pretty bold statement.

[hpviii]

??? It couldn't have just been a sound check??? Could they have been making a video? I think that is Melvin there long time friend and works with them in the seat? Anybody know?

[chubjim]

a true def leppard classic...one of their best songs.

wish they would play it on the upcoming show in san jacinto, california

[verkaforever]

That guy sure is lucky getting his own private Deff Leppard concert. I have this edition of TOTP on video, and I think this is one of Def Leppard's better songs.

[tykettoms]

Slang is Def Leppard's best album. Yes, Hysteria is a classic and brilliant, but Slang was something special. Too bad the "fans" turned their backs on the band back then.

[joeelliottroxmysox]

AGREED!! I hate it when the "fans" say that Hysteria was IT for the Leps, I LOVE their newer stuff and the old, I just love THEM!!!

[JenPa39]

I agree... If anyone claims they are a true fan, then you will have to love them from the beginning.....At least for me its been more than 25 years.. Does that make me old??? lol..

[luvjoesdimple]

Same here...from the beginning!!!!Nah you ain't old, that would make me old!!!! We're just...um...experienced!!! lol

[musicfancier]

AAAAAAAH. 25 years! I've been a fan for at least 25 years. Does that make me old? Anywho, I am a genuine fan and I have loved them since pyromania. Rock on!!!!!!!!

[JenPa39]

Nope doesnt make ya old hun! Just a older fan who still loves DEF!! LOL

[ijustfuckup]

Yeah, but what if you're like me, and are only 16, but have listened to def lep since I was 3 on my dads tape player? I think that makes us pretty genuine too. not our fault if we were born at the wrong time =]

[jerkincrokus]

Slang is awesome!!

[marshjvm]

@tykettoms

You must be high! This is dogshit & doesn't even hold a candle to Pyromania or Hysteria. This sounds like a Collective Soul throw away. Def Leppard lost its drive & focus & went completely gay with this one.

No wonder it was their first album to fail to achieve platinum sales in the US.

[piginasack]

@marshjvm - I've got all the albums, and Slang was a shift. At least it was something different, and not bloody "Lets get rocked" where they tried to re-make their past. T

[sugarplumfairy65]

Great video! Thank you very much globalpainindearris!

BTW-I love your name! LOL

[asande45]

What a cool video. I never knew this existed. Slang really is am amazing album, people should give it a listen again.

[mileysnummaonefan]

thats a cool video technique they use on the drummers left arm, its looks as if he only has one arm? thats weird>

[TheHillDirector]

shut up.

[Hahatah]

XP..right on TheHillDirector!!!

[globalpainindearris]

For those who DON'T know, Mr Rick Allen (drummer) was involved in a serious car crash during the making if the "hysteria" album. I believe the car he was driving was over-taking , an accident occured, and his arm was "separated" from his body by his seatbelt !(OUCH!) Personally, i think he's done rather well to bounce back, don't u?

[7six5four3two1]

Def Leppard has bounced back after MANY tragedies! Rick Allen is a great drummer and a great person.

PS Look at the original poster's name--Miley as in Miley Cyrus. What can you expect?

[globalpainindearris]

Yes, ur quite right 7six5four3two1, no-one could or should forget the legend that was and is "Steve Clark".(R.I.P). I honestly believe that some people genuinley aren't aware that some bands have not had a "fortunate" past. i was not meaning to cause offence or forgetting any-one in Def leppards career.

[7six5four3two1]

that's cool, I don't think anyone is offended by you giving a bit of the band's history :-)

Obviously a Miley Cyrus fan is about 11 years old, so you're right, we can't expect a kid to know the history of a 30 year old band.

[joeelliottroxmysox]

I'm only 19, but I DO know the bands 30 year history. I've seen them 21 times in concert...needless to say I'm a die hard fan. I have all of their records, and the ones put out on LP's, yeah, I got them too!! Most of them are signed, framed and on my wall. I do play them, but very, very, very carefully. I also have a Jackson guitar painted up like Phil's black crackle from the Historia tour...lol...

[joeelliottroxmysox]

thanks for that, I wish people had the sense to actually KNOW their bands, rather than just say, yeah I like them. I think it is so much cooler and great to get to know where the music is actually coming from, it makes it real and all the more spectacular if you know the stories behind the songs and videos!

[Rokket]

@globalpainindearris ...in the early days was also charged with beating his girlfriend, karma perhaps losing that arm.....a really nice guy? I wonder.

[GabbyD448]

@Rokket I think that charge came after the accident, but I don't think one bad incident makes you a bad guy. On a different note, I think I was at this show. Pine Know (now DTE) is an awesome place to see Def Leppard.

[joeelliottroxmysox]

you can't be serious...OH WAIT!!! You're a miley whatsherface fan!! ha, i got it, go back to rockin' everyone, we've just got a bonafide idiot in the forum, its okay, just let her be and she'll get distracted by something shiny and leave us in peace...

[isoisoisowee]

Joe reminds me of Nicolas cage

[heavenward]

Great performance even if it´s playback!! I love this song, album and that tour, personally I love how the guys look, Joe´s look is amazing during this tour, I think he is better with long straight hair. Slang is an underrated album, as to me is one of the best albums ever made in the 90s!

[niggablockedagain]

100% agreed. slang deserves more recognition

[hysteriagirl94]

this is sorta gay.why do top of the pops make them lip sink?i'm not so fond of this song live so this helps em' out.they're still the best out there.best concert iv'e been to yet.rock on lepp!

[superk1515]

I bet they get paid extra to lip sing.

[ColumbianEagle72]

I bet your right.

[philiponicho]

Thanks for posing I used to have this on video but I've lost the tape great to see it again.

[bigbison76]

TOTP yeah its lip-syncing...lol

[ilovericksavage]

is this live, or what?

[lepfan4evr]

Nah, their lip-synching.

[ilovericksavage]

oh really? i thought it was live. lol

[lepfan4evr]

Listen to the vocals, it sounds identical to the record. I love Joe but he has never sounded that perfect live. It's definately lip-synched.

[ilovericksavage]

ive never heard the song until i heard it on here lol.

[LepLuvJoexx]

I love this song! MORE MORE from the Slang album! ;)

[ilovericksavage]

[FausJor]

Hey! Is this not the Desert sky pavilion on Phoenix, AZ? (now the Cricket pavilion) I always thought this was the DSP at Phx.

[globalpainindearris]
