RICK ALLEN

[lenneychristopher]

Rick Allen is not only a legend, but living proof to people with physical challanges, that the word "can't" should be removed from the english dictionary. All those that in favour, say I!!!!???

[TheLizbiz1980]

Rick is an absolute LEGEND!!!

[konajgreg65]

13 dislike? WTF!! I kneel to you Rick Allen!

[JasonC9774]

Rick Allen..."THE THUNDER GOD"!!!

[zanfozanfani]

RESPECT!!!! Even if he done all by himself!

[DudeOfTheState182]

Hmm, People are all saying travis barker is nothing compared to these. Travis Barker always gets metioned because he has extraordinary talent and most likely grew up listening to and learning the likes of Rick Allen and neil peart. Travis Barker has to be one of todays best. Just saying

[powderbutcher]

@DudeOfTheState182 travis barker has nothing on john boecklin

[TheGruggi]

Stay cool Rick. I learned to play drums by watching Hystoria every night for about two years and drummed along. I've even worked with your tutor-Gary lewis

[best666q]

ALL RESPECT To YOU RICK ALLAEN!!!!!!

[frankster666metal]

Probably the best one-armed drummer in the world!!

[crucialyze]

he can still keep a beat better than barker......he was my first favourite drummer even before i heard of bonham i was listening to def on the radio ,i was about 8 yrs old,and 12 when he lost his arm.....i think he should just play acoustic,with a bunch of hi-hats and double pedals,but then again i dont know what i would do...

[Superfreaxx]

This man was a drummer when he lost his arm. He could've given up but he didnt and went on to greater glory.

[mailbox12D]

Where is he at 1:33???

[Rockywaves73]

Rick Allen, Neil Peart, Alex Van Halen, Keith Moon, Tommy Alridge, Ainsley Dunbar, Randy Castillo,.....and more....people like that I grew up listening to and still do make me feel great. When I hear people try to mention someone like Travis Barker in the same breath as those, well....time to laugh and laugh.

[MasterKeith123]

rick inspires me! i think about givin up drums.. but jesus rick has it worse than me and if he can do it i can do it too!

[MegaAlfie007]

If some people have nothing good to say about rick allen

they shouldn't say anything at all

To all you negatives out their

Lose One Arm And You Will Know How It Feels

[nothingnate707]

def leppard rascist ass holes. serves tht rick allen right

[gtz1975]

I hear that scientists have Rick allen's left arm in a jar deep down in a dungeon in London, England keeping it alive. I also hear that Rick Allen's left arm is going to try out for the next Adam's Family movie as the role of (you guessed it)... THING.

[OneBigmutha1109]

OOHHHHHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH­AHAHAHAHHAHAHA!!! You must be a stand up comic or something. You are soo fuckin funny. Where can we find your shows? Probably up your mother's ass, just where your little dick is. Let us all know, because we love your humor. You are one talented mother fucker. I'm sure your mom appreciates your dick in her ass.

[gtz1975]

Obviously I AM soo 'fuckin funny'... enough to have 2 thumbs UP on my comment and as far as your little fantasy of me 'fucking my mother's ass', all I have to say is... : Are you jealous?

[OneBigmutha1109]

LOL, 2 thumbs up, most likely by yourself on other you tube names. Jealous? Hey, maybe I am interested. You talk like a 5 year old, so she must be young enough to plow. But then again, since you like to bust on Rick so much, it leads me to believe your mom must look like him. So no, I am not jealous, nor interested.

[Pamahana97]

hey morons if u wanna know what happend google it or watch the movie

[macarthur19]

If he was a guitar player then his guitar career would be finished.

[bedlaminbelgiumroxzz]

No shit! Give it a fucking rest would ya! Ya fucking retards.

[ellmattche]

This man is very strong in spirit!

[bedlaminbelgiumroxzz]

He lost his arm racing some other guy in his corvette and wrecked. His girlfriend was killed and he lost his arm.

[trexz13]

dude, his gf didn't die, she wasn't even seriously injured.

[skulduggery1515]

#1, His Girlfriend Was Not In The Car

#2, He was not racing another car, he did not see a left hand turn

[L0ganL33]

dont go by wat they said in that movie

[Fanis753]

u r saying bullshit. dont speak if u dont know

[Hanem007]

Please read wikipedia or see the film (Hysteria - The Def Leppard Story) and don't write lies...

[mommainsc]

On December 31, 1984, 21-year-old Allen was driving his Corvette when an Alfa Romeo passed him. . In his rage to pass this driver, he did not see a turn up ahead and lost control of his car, which sailed over a stone wall and into a field. He was thrown from the car, with his left arm severed due to the seatbelt not being properly fastened. The car ended up upside down, with his girlfriend Miriam Barendsen secure in her seat. She was not seriously injured, and found Allen in the field.

[jeremygadiano]

he's girlfriend did not died lol!! you fool.

[joefuh89]

[rdeco73]

[GabrielAnthony234]

[UltimateWario]

[Donut117]

[UltimateWario]

lol hes a dick

[mrscastillofourlife]

1:05 I love that photo of rick allen. where did you find it? do NOT tell me google. there's millions and millions of pages on google.

[5smalls]

I'm not the one who posted the video, but I have that picture from WAY-BACK-WHEN. It was in a magazine, but I apologize, because I cannot remember which one -- it was back in 1983 or so.

[mrscastillofourlife]

you actually have the photo? if you put it on ebay i'll buy it from you. haha, i love rick allen :)

[5smalls]

Yes, i do. It's in one of the containers in my basement. I will try to dig it up one of these days, and I will gladly do a color copy of it for you.

[pinkbelly83846]

rick allen is one of the most insprational people in the world of music; i love def lepard xd

[milen4etooo]

love him..

[ConnyBrown1962]

Rick is such an inspiration to others. I am so proud of him for what such a tragic accident can do. He is quitter and it shows. God bless him

[foospuppet]

Def Leppard is from before my time! never even heard of Rick Allen till bloodhoundgang came with that song!! But nothing but RESPECT for Rick Allen !!!!

[xNirvanaxMCRx]

Personally, I don't like Def Leppard, but Rick Allen is insane. He is a great inspiration. He only has one arm and he puts me to shame. I'm nowhere near as good as he is. I love this guy.

[wildflower96]

Rick Allen is truely AWESOME!!!! He is an inspiration to me! :)

[chabadoogi]

this video sux

[daffyduck789]

your just saying this video sucks because it's rick allen from def leppard

i say this video rocks because he is def leppard's drummer

and def leppard rocks

[LayleighBoo]

what song is this

[ijustfuckup]

The song is 'Everyday' - its off the X album :)

[sebooher95]

oh ok

[sebooher95]

at 2:54 it looks like Rick has a left arm

[defleppfan4ever]

That's because he had a shirt with a sleeve on it, he used to do that in the eighties when he had only one arm, now he cuts the left sleeve off and puts a patch over it that says: Def Leppard

[AllShaaaallPerish]

any deathcore/deathmetal drummer is better.. bands like as blood runs black, the faceless, all shall perish... I do have a lot of respect for this guy tho

[Ryan50c]

FAIL list.

[AllShaaaallPerish]

huh?

[8122556]

who do you think is the best?

[jsa3mm]

Neil Peart.

[FireForFreezing]

Marco Minnemann, Mike Portnoy !

[tarantella72]

a da esempio! un GRANDE!

[lvsoad22]

yes rick allen is great but the best of the best? i dont think so

[journeybabe215]

i do!! he is for a fact the best of the best, in fact he' s not even on the same list as the best because he is so waay beyond the best, he's that freaking amazing. i love him so much w/ all my heart!!

[shellie1962]

omg Rick Allen is the best of the best.

Just look at what he can do with one arm, and just imagine if he had two.

What an awesome person, my heart goes out to him and a tear to my eye.

[ericambrosecoon]

he doesn't need your pity

[nick30893]

i no aye

[BigBoiJC]

First time i ever saw Rick play (it was the "PSSOM" video), i was already a drummer before i saw him and it just blew me away how awesome he was with just one arm. i still play to this day.

[15msd15msd15]

rick, you are an amazing talent..went to 2 def leppard concerts last week and you are the best drummer in the world ;)

[DmcMusicProductions]

what album is this song from?

if he had two arms and the accident didnt happen i think hysteria wouldnt be that good of an album. but since it did he amazing

[deflepphartme]

this is from X (2002)

[mongonumber2]

this song is from the X album! called "EVERYDAY"

[migueldrums78]

Amazing Drummer:):)

[reditreefrog]

Antone know what Cd this song is on?

[heavysniper08]

Imagine if he had two arms.

[metallicaKSA]

This man is just genious.

[PattiDeAllen]

HE IS JUST SOOOOOOOO CUTE

[drumsticks135]

to bad you're not! haha i'm just kiddin

[feldmanCF1]

wow you put this together so well and i love to watch him play because you see his right arm flinging and his left foot stomping on those pettles it is amazing!!!!!

[peaveybros]

hes amazin i bet its hrd with one arm!!!! wish i could meet him ma mum and dad and family went to see def lepard white snake and black stone cherry in sheffield on the 23 june 08

[TanBarbieGirlxox]

i'm sorry but I think he was gorgeous

[reditreefrog]

I was lucky to have seen Def Lappard in Providence Rhode Island...That was their first United States tour, Pyromania...

I liked them before that tour and had both "On through the Night" and "High & Dry" on cassette... I was in a basement band and found it amazing that Rick was the same age as me...The band I was in eventually broke up...80's Metal/rock laid to rest...

[PamelaTx]

This is a lovely montage of Rick. What he has accomplished is nothing short of a miracle. Thank God the band stuck with him, and he has proved himself worthy of all the praise in the world!!!

[dirtywojta]

bonzo rocked ass, that´s for shure. but ricky´s only got one arm left, to play drums with such an handicap is incredible

[tocaracer06]

lets see you try to play drums with one arm. this guy already accomplished it and how far has he gone? farther than bonham for damn sure!

[sweetsourpork]

yep

[Williamq13]

pro, you ='s a dumbass, Rick Allen is one of the best drummers, with exception of Travis Barker

[sweetsourpork]

You're an idiot. Travis Barker isn't a drummer. He's a cumbucket. Nick Barker, on the other hand, ain't half bad.

[d1d0ps]

Rick is an ace drummer ,always has been in my eyes.He's a really nice guy to.

[thewho6507]

Well he has a lot of heart. I didn't care for him much as a drummer before or after the accident, but I respect him for what he's doing

[cowondeso]

prodiqyqms, he wasn't a terrible drummer previously.

With one arm and electronic drum kit, he is one of the best-known drummer!

[cowondeso]

[mendeth]

[dgydeon]

Everyday from the "X" album

[idrum4you]

lol saves money on stick... lol jk this guy is amazing i give him props for doing what he does

[Da7xT]

O.O is right!

one arm!! amazing.

i think by now, even if he somehow got his left arm back "somehow," he would find it harder to play with both hands lol

one arm... amazing

[JUANUTO93]

O.O
