interesting...i wonder why they did such a pitch-perfect cover. I'd rather hear it more Def Leppard style, with DL production a la Hysteria. It was a great idea for them to cover this song but I wish they put more of their own fingerprint on it. I can listen to the Badfinger version if I want to hear something that sounds like this...!
I'm curious how Joe would've sung this in 1988. It's not as hard rock sounding as, say, Poison's cover of "Your Momma Don't Dance." Sounds more like Cheap Trick's version of "Don't Be Cruel".
@me1195 That's not the dumbest thing I've ever heard but it was close. Vivian Campbell is one of the most accomplished guitar players in the history of rock. Dio, Riverdogs, Whitesnake, Def Leppard & Thin Lizzy. That's one hell of a resume for someone who "sucks".
This is such a cheesy song (at least the original is), but I love the melody. I have to admit, it's hard to choose whether this or Lillian Axe's version is the best.
Never was a fan of Def Lep until I heard this song... then I realized that they didn't write it, but I feel they do the song a lot better justice than the original (which is almost never the case with covers).
Def Leppard is the GREATEST band of all-time. hands down. lol... but i can never afford to go to a concert. *cries* oh well... youtube-bound for them. :D
I LOVE DEF LEPPARD!!!! i just saw them, poison, and cheap trick at the post gazette pavillion on july 10!!! it was the best concert EVER!!! phil collen is so HOT!!! he was shirtless the entire concert!!!! :D :D :D he has such a rockin body!!! and i love rick savage's bass!!! it is amazing!!! :D :D :D :D <3 <3
GREAT cover, the 1 great thing i love about these guys is that when they do a cover they always make it sounds just like the original but a bit better.
@ogdensrule actually '09 was def leppard's 32nd year of making music (even if nothing was released until 1979, they've been making music since 1977...sry im a huge Lep fan)
I am a HUGE Def Leppard fan... going to see them in August. Great look that he gives at about 1:23/1:24...WOW! :) And yes, they did a great job with this song.

Not quite as good as Badfinger's Ham, but a pretty good "runner-up"!

I don't think there are enough effects on Joe Elliotts' voice. Horrible. But they still ruled in the 80's.
