Joe Elliott & an unknown Kurt Cobain discovered me May 15 '83 while Def Leppard was on tour in the US promoting Pyromania. Kurt was on the road crew. Def Leppard had finished opening for Billy Squier ending in Seattle & Oregon in April before embarking on the Rock Till You Drop tour. Joe and I started writing Pour Some Sugar On Me using an Aerosmith song from Toys in the Attic - "Step inside, WALK THIS WAY". Sweet Emotion on the same album inspired me to write Sweet Sacrifice. I am Amy Lee
The real Amy Lee co-wrote Pour Some Sugar On Me with Joe Elliott. Discovered by Joe & Kurt Cobain at the age of 15 in 1983. Kurt was on the roadcrew for DL's Rock Till You Drop Tour. She is the founder of Evanescence and wrote many songs for Def Leppard, INXS, Motley Crue, Kiss, Queen, etc. After writing PSSOM she also wrote Sugar Walls performed by Sheena Easton. Prince claims song under Alexander "Nevermind" inspired Nirvana album "Nevermind". "at peace ami, you're a good one" Kurts Journal
I've seen different comments about the guy at 4:20, from trying to steal her necklace to a line of cocaine...has anyone ever thought of "he's pouring sugar on her?" As in sugar from a sugar packet? x)
The production on this is excellent, I wish more live stuff was like there where the production is loud and has that big arena sound no matter what volume you are listening at :P
What a come back.... drummer loses an arm in a car crash..... know what? Let's just carry on anyway!!!!!!!!!! GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO DEF LEPPARD!!!!!!!!!!! Will love you always x x x x x x xx x x x x
I wish i was a teen back in the 80's , this is fuckin rock N roll not this corporate sell out powerchords screamin bullshit we see on mtv, and hear on the fm's of now days... I can only imagine jumpin with all those happy fans and screamin "pour some sugar on me"!
Ok, I have watched most of their live performances, and is it just me, or does Def Leppard just kick total ass live???? Ive been to lots of live perfomances and they are as good as any I have seen. Awesome!
i left this music years ago...elevated to metallica and the rest.
but a song like this never leaves the head.....this and the hysteria album...unreal, up there with appetite, puppets and reign in blood asw being milestones in the metal years
i always like to imagine what def leppard would be like today if Steve was still alive......they would be one fucking rocking band!!!! ROCK ON DEF LEPPARD!!! RIP STEVE YOUR MISSED
Good question, mmmm, as far as I know, according to the Adrenalize album booklet, Sav used a 5 string bass to play the songs in Adrenalize, but, I really don't know if he recorded or played a 5 string bass during the Hysteria era, I'll need to check that out.
Who can believe that this was the 4th single off Hysteria... Thank the lord they released it has a single, where would the strippers of the world be without this song!!!
Steve Clark was a guitarist in the band who was replaced by Vivian Campbell after Steves death in 1991. If you are new to DL then you shouldnt be expected to know this!! I'd suggest further reading on WIKI which should give you some history about the band and links to current and former members.
@nucleardude11 i remember a interview with deff leppard and in it joe said and phil were talking and it was said bby phil he might be the technical player but steve clark played with his soul.
@nucleardude11 By far phil is more technical... but Steve's style was all about heart and soul.. and he pulled it off real good. R.I.P Steve M. Clark!
