  • Rock In Peace R.I.P Steve Clark One of the best.

  • if they wrote the song for vivs father than why do they have a slideshow of steve going in the background at their concerts when they sing this song?

  • @msmith31323 so they show to steves father that they still care about steve

  • @Rorschachxx1985 ohh ok that makes sense i thought the song was about steve but i get it now

  • damn good song

  • Love this song! Is it just me or can anyone else hear the Beatles influence here?? Got a little Lucy In The Sky With Diamomds ring there.  ABSOLUTELY LUVIN' IT!!

  • luv this song we will always miss Steve <3

  • actually thats totally wrong, vivian campbell wrote it as a tribute to his late father..its in many articles

  • Def Leppard rocks in th 80s,90s,00s for ever just like the Scorps!

  • Was this song in Eclipse??? Cuz it wasn't on the soundtrack?

  • 2:04- 2:22 EARGASIM!!!! I Want That To Play When I Die Young Doing Something So Fucking Stupid And Impetuous. I'll Forever Soar With The Angels With A Heart Full Of Def Leppard!

  • What this is on the Twilight soundtrack? The fuck? Well I guess if it brings more fans to Def Leppard that's cool... 

  • Are people seriously connecting this song, one of the greatest songs written by one of the best bands ever, to Twilight?

    ...Wow.

  • Ya know what's weird...Def Leppard is actually one of the rare bands that are able to keep their music modern through the years

  • good song!

  • Comment removed

  • Admittedly, I had only listened to the song once before typing the last post. I take back the "oversimple" comment. It is thoroughly complex in the beginning.

    Has all the good stuff that makes cover bands cringe.

    Def Leppard still has it.

    The people who say Lep is no more in Steve's absence are the same people who say the same with Halen and Roth.

    The best Van Halen music came after Roth, they just didn't pay attention. -Same here.

    This is an awesome song.

  • Tell ya what: I'm the single biggest Def Leppard fan in the world and I give this album two thumbs up.

    This song has a great classic sounding "Hook", has a definite retro flair and is most completely,  bad ass. Over simple and repetitive? Maybe a little, but a great song.

    Good work, Boys.

  • eclipes<3

  • I believe this song is going to be in eclipse. Sucks. Yes, but it kind of fits.

  • @beetlejuice115 what the fuck is eclipse?

  • @turtlekidlol ... it's a movie ..

  • @turtlekidlol You are blessed not knowing that.

  • @Padgilord ROFLMAO!!!

  • ECLIPSE (: <3

  • it´s not the same def leppard, i just feel sorry for the band that was, now i listen other bands, really it´s a shame!!!

  • Def Leppard pussied out on us, but still give us good music. Incredible.

  • eclipse soundtrack (yn) xxx

  • I cry everytime I hear this...Steve was the life of this band they still rock, but its just not there... :'(

  • @bamskatergurl1995 steve's ghost is basically there

  • @krisaf778 yeah....it was weird at their show last year my friend swears to god she saw Steve sitting ontop of the speakers when they played the song.....he's still always there in spirit even if we can't actually see him..

  • Its not same without Steve Clark.

  • what's with the 2min silence after the end of the song? o_O

  • proly about Cliff Burton

  • Sure,every song with Def Leppard is good,but what is this supposed to be???Listen to an older song with Def Leppard and you will understand!

  • such a badass chord progression in the beginning it sounds like classic late beatles song (maybe has something to do with the lucy in the sky piano tone) with a the epic def leppard twist love this song!

  • I wish they would've played this on their tour this year,would've sounded epic live!!

  • god i know love this song!

  • Wow surprisingly good for a 80s metal reunion album

    Good catchy song still has that lovable cheesy 80s feel

  • amazing

  • Cool!

  • DEF LEPPARD 4LIFE !

  • This kinda sounds like it was written about Steve Clark. Great song.

  • superb song  enough said

  • bianconeri93, Show some respect. This song is about one of the most under-rated and hard rocking guitar players of all time.

  • its about steve clark u tit, n btw if songs about love arent your cup of tea, stop enjoying love bites. NOW

  • @BigAddz2k7 :D I like that song. Def Leppard until we die :')

  • This has a little of that Beatles English pop thrown in there. These guys are amazing

  • Wow!!! Def Leppard still rocks big huge timeee!!! KEWL!!!

    Thanks for uploading this man! :)

  • 5:02 is the best part of the song... were the solo begins

  • did def leppard redo this song?

  • No it's an original.

  • Love this song

  • This song makes me think of Steve Clark this is my reminder of him,

  • same

  • sooo right

  • im sure the band wrote it about him anyway

  • did they write this song because of steve dieing?

  • ya, vivian did

  • @mykodamarie yeah this an white lighting were is memorial songs

  • they must have think os steve when they made it...

  • I love this song. it reminds me of when Steve was still around. "Genius was a heavy load" brought a tear to my eye.

    Rest in Peace, Steve Clark.

  • I am so so happy! My boy friend told me he loved me! yet it seems a little awkward. but at the same time it feels right! I luv him to death, and other than saying I love you, I wanna show him. any Ideas?

  • you could make him a good homemade meal, food is the way to a mans heart. Seriously i tell you no lies.

  • stick a dildo in his ass and shit on his chest thats the best way to a mans heart

  • lol

  • rolling1720 how proud your parents must be having raised a pottymouthed sociopath

  • You don`t mention your ages ? I have a feeling you haven`t been together long enough to know if sex would be something you would cherish or regret so wait til you know for sure. Until then keep his hands above your bellybutton !

  • lol I am twelve. his hands go no lower than my waits. (he comes up behind me to hugg me a lot :P)

  • Wait til you`re at least 18 & make sure the guy is someone you will want to remember. If I had it to do over again I would wait for someone I truly cared about.

  • I meant to say his hands go no lower than my hips. lol, (I wear my pants at my hips) so techniqually, or however you spell it my waist

  • I love how someone gave LordGandor a poor rating. You can't write that.

  • mykodamarie: also try putting a little warm oil on your hands and massaging his back and shoulders- guys love a good muscle rub from their lady.

  • who cares honestly?

  • I am like gonna listen to this like 5 jillion times a day

  • BEST SONG EVER!

  • this song is the best song ever! you can't really enjoy it unless u turn it up REALLY loud! lol

  • i m a hudge fan of def leppard and i wonder what other members been a part of the band before?

  • there was Pete Willis(Guitar) Steve Clark(Guitar) then Frank Noon(Drummer) those are the main three but Noon never made it onto the albums he was beat out by a 16yr old kid called Rick Allen

  • Rick was 15:p

  • @ddlee84 tony kenning was their first drummer. then frank was "borrowed" til they got rick. dont mean to correct you

  • As usual, they went pussy. If you think Def Leppard are gay and they suck, give me a thumb down !

  • Hey now, y do u have to come on here, and destroy the funness and they way us FANS feel about them? I think this is an awesome song! so Pleasem don't ruin the fun for us!

  • That album fucken sucks!

  • you fuckin suck mother fucker

  • What did I say before?

  • I hear a lot of Beatles influence in this song.

  • Jacsonpc1 is completely right!!!! in a true BAND

    nobody is "better or more important" then anyone else I can completely understand and sympathize with the people who are sad about Steve...but no one in DL is better then anyone else I think a lot of people want Def leppard to be "Steve Clark and Def Leppard" but they aren't nor will they ever will be Leppard is about ALL five guys not just Steve.

  • new Def Leppard is way too commercial...give me ON THROUGH THE NIGHT,HIGH AND DRY,PYROMANIA,HYSTERIA AND ADRENALIZE anytime

  • nah,just stick the first 3;-) good old classic NWOBHM.

  • maidens only the good die young is better :).. but this is also good

  • only the good die young is also an iron maiden song (i just found that out)

  • you just found that out?

    you dont deserve to have metal in your name :O.

  • oh, i only have their first two albums, (all with di'anno). i found out because i thought i heard a song title like this before and realized it's also by maiden.

  • And a Queen song: does it matter? :P

  • Steve drank because he wanted to escape and thats why he loved it on stage so much, so dont start talking about things that u know nothing about!!

  • I never thought the guys would ever make something so random as this.

    Please bring back the good old days!

  • This song almost makes me cry every time i hear it sure i didn't know Steve personally but i loved him as well tbh Steve will live forever

  • Wow,I don't man. Every track i sample just really sucks honestly. I can't get into this AT ALL. The band has always been great, (though i agree has steadily declined since Steve's passing)but lacks tons of something very much missing.

  • Oh, fuck off, the lot of you! This sucks. Where's the hard-edges to Elliot's vocals from back in the days of High n Dry, On thrrough the Night and Pyromania??????!!!!!

  • the only ones that seem to like Def Leppard today are the teenyboppers.  Totally agree they lost their edge.

  • Oh shut up SMC. I'm sick of seeing your ridiculous comments. It seems you gave up on the band after Steve's passing and that's fine I guess. But you don't have to leave negative comments on everything they do now. If you don't like it, don't listen.

  • I wasn't even talking to you idiot. I was responding to the person below. Last time I checked I can say whatever the hell I want. It's not my fault this sorry ass band sucks.

  • Idiot? Who is the idiot here? Listen, I understand that you are still upset over Steve's death, but that is no reason to take it out on the band. I'm sure you liked them just fine when he was still alive.

    And I don't give a shit WHO you were talking to. I have a right to reply to any comment I see fit. You need to get over yourself and Steve as well. He is sadly gone, but he did it to himself. The band had nothing to do with why he is no longer here.

  • I'm not upset over his death, I'm upset over Elliotts comments about Steve and minimizing his contribution to this band. If it weren't for Steve this band wouldn't even exist. It was STEVE that made THEM. So fuck off asshole.

  • Joe never minimized Steve as a member of the band. Watch Classic Albums Hysteria and see for yourself. Joe said the Steve was as important as any member of DL.

    If it weren't for Steve they wouldn't exist? You are kidding about this statement, right? Steve was a member of THE BAND. No one member is, or has ever been more important as THE BAND collectively.

    You are a rude little twunt, aren't you? Steve is gone. He did it to himself. It was a great loss but I don't feel sorry him.

  • Uh ever read Animal Instinct? Steve pushed them into their first gig said he would leave if they did play a gig. In recent interviews(about The Sparkle lounge) in some mags Joe HAS minimized Steve so please unless you read those things you are the rude one. Now I'm done.

  • So Joe was lying on the dvd? What difference does it really make anyway? The way I see it is Steve minimized himself by drinking until he killed himself.

    You are not done? Doubtful. You will carry your Steve lovefest from DL video to video and talk about how much the band sucks now.

    You're right, you are done. You were finished when you starting having a pity party for Steve. He drank and took painkillers and died from it. This can't be blamed on the rest of the band.

  • No pity party I know who the real talent was I saw it LIVE in person. Nope you won't see me on anymore of these vids. I'll stick with GOOD music. Enjoy these losers

  • Please. Steve wrote some great riffs, no doubt. But when it comes to mastering the instrument Phil has all the talent. I too saw them live during the Hysteria tour. You can watch the dvd and see for yourself that Phil is/was the better guitarist.

    The problem is that you can't get over Steve's death. It really has nothing to do with Def Leppard as a band. Steve overdosed and died from it so you find that the easiest one's to blame are the rest of the band. STEVE KILLED HIMSELF!!

  • I saw them on the high and dry tour with PETE so please. Hysteria and HND were world apart. STEVE WROTE the majority of it.  Phil Collen has no talent. I suppose you think you know how to play too. I know many PROFESSIONAL guitar players who think Phil sucks. I'm not going to debate better players because you don't what what you're talking about. I loved this band from 1980 on UNTIL Joe the hypocrite started deny stuff. STEVE CLARK BEST GUITARIST EVER,JERK!!!

  • So now Hysteria sucked? Steve was a major part of that record as well.

    Phil Collen was/is always a far superior technically gifted guitarist when compared to Steve. Yes I do play and I don't give two shits who you know, Phil is an outstanding guitarist.

    And for the record. The "loser's" as you called them, wrote this song in honor of Steve. As a matter of fact it was Vivian who wrote it. But I guess that doesn't matter either because in your eyes Vivian sucks too.

  • I never said Hysteria sucked those are your words. I just said Steve was more invloved in HND. Whatever about Phil I can see you think you know all so Buh BYE.

  • I never said I knew it all. I said that Phil is an excellent guitarist and that this song was written for him. Don't you feel like an idiot now for calling them losers? If you don't you should.

    I'm done with you. I've got more important things to do than continue an arguement with someone that can't get over a person who died 17 years ago. You should seek some professional help.

  • Nope because I could give 2 shits that this song was written for him. They are LOSERS just like you are. Go ahead enjoy your sissified Def Leppard. You're a hypocrite just like Joe no wonder you like this band so much LOSER

  • Believe me they are not winning over Steve fans because a hack like Vivian wrote this song for him. Apparently you don't have anything better to do because you started with ME remember. Anyone who thinks Phil is an excellent guitar player sure doesn't know what they are talking about now everyone can see it. When Dl sells millions and goes gold platinum let me know because they haven't done it since Steve nuff said.

  • Now you're just being ridiculous. I'm going to go ahead an tell you like it is, prepare yourself. Vivian Campbell and Phil Collen are both much better guitarists than Steve ever was. There is a lot of resentment towards Viv from Steve's nutsack scratchers like you. Vivian replaced Steve because Steve decided it would be a great idea to go and get plastered and take some pain killers. How is this any fault of Vivian's.

  • You really are stupid. It's not just DL that isn't making platinum records anymore. Poor record sales have been happening to everybody. The is a fairly new invention called the internet. People don't pay for albums anymore, they download them for free. Thus explaining the poor record sales since the early 90's. You are very naive if you think that DL doesn't still have millions of fans. Don't listen to them if you don't like them. They don't want fans like you anyway.

  • IU'm the one who needs help I'm not slamming a DEAD guy or criticizing a DEAD guy. THAT makes you a loser. They may have millions of fans all teenagers except for the few lsoer older fans like you. You wish Phil and Vivian were better. THAT proves you know nothing. Not in a million years. MORON.

  • But that's just your problem. You don't realize that you can't let go of something that happened 17 years ago. I was not criticizing Steve until you threw out the Viv and Phil sucks statements. Here is the bottom line. Steve is dead, killed himself. Def Leppard needs to function as a 5 piece band so they recruited Viv. It wasn't like it was some sort of conspiracy to kill Steve so that Viv could join the band.

  • ok dude that was just rude. did you seriously say cant let go of something that happened 17 years ago. what if someone you love died. how would you get over it? how long would it take you? you can say mean things to her but dude you just shouldnt have said that man.

  • Yes I did say that. I'm sick of all these people trashing Vivian and the rest of the band because Steve drank himself to death. How can you love someone you don't even know? You may have liked his music, I did too, but to say that you loved him is a bit of a stretch unless you either knew him personally or are a member of his family. Elvis fans aren't even as bad as some of you are.

  • i didnt say i love him i said she might. and i think vivan is a great guitarist. i love the song work it out he wrote. i love this song and vivian wrote this. i didnt say i had a problem with vivian. i jus said please dont say that. i think vivian is actually pretty. cool.

  • that is an awesome point! but let me ask, i am a younger fan, so I really don't know about some of this stuff, Who was steve? by the way I am twelve(explains all the questions) and how did he drink himself to death? please respond!

  • Steve Clark was the guitarist and one of the original members of Def Leppard. He died in 1991 after overdosing on a combination of alcohol and painkillers. He was responsible for some of the greatest guitar riffs Def Leppard ever produced. To be honest Def Leppard has not been the same band since his unfortunate passing. You can hear his work beginning with the On Through The Night album, all the way up through Hysteria. He is truly missed.

  • You truly are an idiot if you think it's only teenagers that listen to DL. They have millions of fans of all different ages and backgrounds. Before you make such ridiculous comments you should watch some of their recent concert footage and look at the crowd.

    Now fuck off you cum dumpster.

  • they can't even seel out the State fair in my state so THAT speaks volumes. The concerts I saw sold out in minutes. hahahaha enjoy your Chippendale rock band as Vivian called them. hahahahaha Dickhead loser

  • I will enjoy them, thanks. You enjoy slamming a band that Steve was a part of. You also just keep on believing that he will magically be resurrected and rejoin DL. Enjoy putting up new pictures of Steve on your profile page. He's gone, get over it. Yet you have the nerve to call ME a loser. Well I guess if I am a loser I have millions of others just like me.

    Now, piss off you sperm burping dyke.

  • Yeah you all can enjoy your band together. I will enjoy my pictures and the talent they USED to have. Yep he's gone but LEGENDS never die. They are still living off what he recorded aren't they?

  • NO!!! They are living off of what they recorded as a band collectively. The last time I checked there were 5 of them when Steve was with the band. Sure he made great contributions but to try and hinge all their success directly upons Steve's membership is foolish. They are a BAND, which means more than one person.

  • SMCchik do not waste your time discussing with jacksonpc1 this guy is impossible. I discussed with him about the same for a whole month and if you gave him facts he is going to say that is stupid, lame and he will start to attack you without give any good point. I'm 100% with you and maybe the 3/4 def leppard fans. Take it easy.

  • @SMCchik Hey, they sold out a 25,000 seat amphitheater in my hometown.

  • Yes you are right, they are losers. Man you really need some professional assistance. Joe, and the rest of the band have never said anything but great things about Steve. Why would they? He was a big part of their success and had been together since the late 70's.

  • you are a fucking sad cunt

  • best song from a great album

  • I LOVE THIS SONG !

  • at first when i saw this song title, i thought they ripped it off of billy joel, but wow it is awesome. they even give credit TO billy in the lyrics! "i heard it in a song, that's still going strong".

    only the good die young. such a true statement.

  • i love it. but then again ilove most def leppard songs. cant wait for their concert in melb in november! ive been waiting for a long time! since 93!

  • AMAZING

  • loved def leppard since hearing Animal at full blast in my mate new Merc at around 140mph!!! in 1992!! Since then ive seen them live 3 times,bought every album!Going to see them play in the Czech rep with Europe and Whitesnake!! What the fuck is with that lojanos guy? His carer should keep him away from computers!!

  • Anybody who says that "Def Leppard r gays"...can kiss my f*ckin' ass,ok?

  • i really like this song glad i picked up this CD

  • so am i!

    they rock! <3

  • lojanos, i would really whoop your fucking ass if i ever saw you. fucking idiot. lay off people. grow the fuck up and get off your gay kick. anyone who says those things are in the closet, so come on out chicken shit. shut your mouth, and you deserve to have you fucking nuts cut off and fed to you for dissing our troops. fuck you asshole.

  • This band is more talented than all the crap in the music industry today.

  • i wouldnt say they suck... its just different without steveclark... who was a talented musician and one of the best.

  • Def Leppard are ledgends, better than all of the modern bands, and listen to the lyrics, read the title'only the good die young'slight tribute to Steve Clark dont you think and all you do is insult it. its an amazing song with really good influencial and amazing musicians. its pathetic your trying to discredit people with talent couse you havnt got any. they're out their making something of their lives and what are you doing - sitting your ass on a computer critisizing about evering thing.

  • agreed

  • they don't suck! they never have!

    yes their sound is a bit different since steve died, but they still ROCK. i LOVE steve wayy more than vivian but vivian is awesome and a great guitarist so lay off!

    rip steve! i bet he's jamming to this album as im typing this! :):)

  • They sound ALOT different since Steve died. Steve was very porud to be ina ROCK band and this is NOT the sound. Vivian is nowhere near the guitarist Steve was. Def Leppard has shit all over the legacy Steve left them.

  • Well, that is your opinion and you are entitled to it. I just think that Def Leppard is still great and still standing strong since everything they've been through. A lot of bands don't come close to being as brave as they are. I don't think they shit all over Steve's legacy either. Playing the songs that Steve wrote and helped right is a tribute to him in itself.

  • I <3 DEF LEPPARD. Best band ever..always was...always will be...

  • hell yeah

  • My Grandmom agrees Def Leppard been around more and Bon Jovi gets it all

  • At least this is better than flippin Bon friggin Jovi :)
