[HatorAlexandru]

Felix Cane brought me here

[mrtonyfm44]

[guitarslim56]

The last two minutes are best!

[dd72497]

[xctrunner]

soooo umm what's the big empty space at the end?

[nighthawk4466]

SIMPLY AWESOME!!

[FuriusJorge]

Holy shit I was an 80's metal brat & I never even knew DL covered this!

I love that they laid their own flavor into the song while still keeping David Essex's original creeping sex feel to it.

[hollisweda]

Wtf did thes come from! HO LY Shit!...i luv it!!

[brightstars369]

im a stripper and dance to this song at work every time i go on stage

[FuriusJorge]

@brightstars369: Young lady God loves you & those beautiful boobs he gave you. We are all grateful for wonderful women like you who choose to share your beauty with us lesser mortals!

Rock on girl!

[CrimsonCrowess]

@brightstars369 get a real job

[rzlgq1025]

@CrimsonCrowess fuck off

[swastikausa]

essex meets sheffield baby.

[XZeldaTheZealotX]

This is a great cover of a great song. Def Leppard rocks! So does Dave Essex <3

[GodlyFlashstep]

why is this getting so much hate?! you all need to grow up and open your mind to music instead of focusing on one genre. and i know the original is better, its supposed to be its the original.

[UnbiasedGiraffe]

This sucks, I regret listening to this, not even close to as good as the original.

[magikoolz]

they fuckt this all up essex did it better dey leper sux ass bunch a damn homoes

[emmyo0o0rogers]

i like david essex verson better. but this is still pretty good

[EliSexyton]

porno bass, nice

[MrSkeeterok]

i think it is a great remake, not the best tho. keep trying

[eville62]

DAMN GREAT COVER!!! 

[MusicRowe]

What's up with the 2 minutes of dead air? I was excited thinking this is some extended version but the song quits at around 2:52.  O well, I still appreciate the upload. Thanks ;)

[Teletran35]

I didn't know that Def Leppard covered this

[UnitedNationBand]

ohmygosh.......Rick Savage..... <3

[THENAKEDBEACH]

how can anyone think this sucks? this is a great version of a classic/ timeless piece. the climax is amazing.

[jaimadi]

@THENAKEDBEACH yes. it's a great song. and the climax is just.... the CLIMAX! this is a good song for sex!

[ChrisDog000]

@jaimadi Only thing wrong is that its only 4 and a half minutes long haha

[357daedalus]

sometimes i hate my ear for music. i'm lookin for something in this song. i can't quite put my finger on it, it could be so much better than david essex, def leppard, or smashing pumpkins..

[phantasmphan]

totally sucks compared to David Essex & even the Michael Damien version

[1582881]

@phantasmphan no, sucking is your social life... this version is hotter than you think you are, much less damian and assex

[MatthewQuinn000]

jizzicles :O

love this song

much better than all the autotuned crap of today

u can feel this music <3 love it

[maryisthebestever]

this was sick live!

[yoshigirl616]

@maryisthebestever Totally, seen them in Toronto in August.

[maryisthebestever]

@yoshigirl616 i saw them with heart in saratoga ny

[MrAtlanticstar72]

Out fuckin standing

[thesnotsnot]

what a great remake! i'm a fan of def leppard, and the original david essex song, and never knew of the existence of this cover. thanks for posting!

[92752dlm1]

It's an ACE SOUND with ACED-UP mixings.

[opighk]

i love david essex version so much but i like this because there is that guitar solo in there that you would expect to here in a 70s song its pretty cool its almost like a completion of it

[TGantz5]

i saw these guys last night. I honestly thought the part at 2:02 probably the best part of the entire concert.  Epic.

[xXPeppyWildfireXx]

OMG, They played this last night right after I yelled "ROCK ON!"

[gojira931]

@xXPeppyWildfireXx it wasn't you. trust me. they've played it every single night of the tour.

[friginhell123]

@gojira931 well kill the fucking buzz

[xXPeppyWildfireXx]

@gojira931 Whatever, and I suppose you know this cause, you've been to every single concert?

[gojira931]

@xXPeppyWildfireXx no, because of an ingenious little website called setlist.fm where you can see every setlist for every show on this tour and for a lot of previous tours, seriously check it out. they've been playing rock on at almost every show since 2006

[rct4141]

@xXPeppyWildfireXx hey jack ass, ive been to six and they played rock on at every damn one so stop telling @gojira931 that they are wrong

[xXPeppyWildfireXx]

@rct4141 I don't recall telling them they were wrong.

[TheEtherealPancake]

I saw this live last night and it was Def Leppard's best song, probably because it's a cover.

[Dobity]

best song EVER

[MrAtlanticstar72]

suck a big cock.... come get me

[rct4141]

Just got back from their concert in orange beach yesterday!!! fuckin awsome!!! My first ever concert and ill remember it forever! Heart was awsome too!!!! Great show!

[mickeyrob3]

@rct4141 I can't wait until July 7th! This will be my 20th time seeing them. Damn, they are so good:) I remember at one of their shows they let a man get on stage to propose to his girlfriend, plus it was Joe's birthday.

[candybitch]

saw them play this live on friday.....so amazing live now totally in <3 with this song ^_^

[JTheGuitarPlayer]

JAMES DEAN! lol I can't get the low notes at that octave. I'm a deeper voice

[TheBeatlefloyd]

i love this!! i like Def leppard's version better, well, it might just be because i'm absolutely IN LOVE with these men, but oh well :)

[fassaalbrecht]

This is great stuff. Some excellent guitar playing, tasteful use of a 5string bass and some subtle drumming, along with some of Joe Elliot's best vocals and the result is kickass.

[WVUrockerBoy]

love this, but man, def lepard sounds much better than they look...

[TheBeatlefloyd]

@WVUrockerBoy hey now, Joe Elliott was sexy

[pgc4sean]

David Essex, awsome. These guys are just another 80's hair band.

[TheBeatlefloyd]

@pgc4sean nah, more like THE BEST hair band ever, and I like their version better, not more of a difference, I just like Elliott's voice better than Essex's, but thats just my opinion ;)

[usmusl2]

Probably the best remix of this classic I've heard - EVER!

[sale1996]

Hey you.!!

[TheTazira]

I like the Michael Damien version.. (both of them) this one is good though. I didn't realize Def Leppard did a version of this too.

[anmol1592]

Rock ON!!

Rock ON!!

Hey Kid, ROck and ROll

[salemcripple]

2:02 for the most epic part of the song.

[razorman543]

I love Def Leppard, but personaly i like the David Essex version a little better

[TANNERGRN]

CAN SWITCHING 2 GICO SAVE U 15% OR MORE ON CAR INSURANCE...CAN DEF LEPPARD MAKE A MEAN REMAKE?

[MsGogola]

this is much better than david essex version

[Pfletch83]

Def Leppard kicks ass with this cover.

[AesaFilms]

Not bad at all.

[xxxtumxxx]

eargasm!!!!

[tag7100]

I've never heard this version. It's a tough call if I like it more than the original, they're both very cool. I think I might be leaning more towards this version though, being that I've heard the original a million times.

[doomsd46]

Its a good cover, but the original 1973 David Essex version still the best, plus when it came out it was a unique sound, and still is. I have to say though, this cover is good though, not like alot of covers that are just garbage, they did it right.

[CheetaRevised]

In my opinion David Essex did it first and did it best. Def leppard is good at what they do but I think this out of the range of what they do. A nice cover though.

[dineshbhat7]

where's the original video of this song??? damn..

[doomsd46]

@dineshbhat7 - Look up Rock On - David Essex, the original video is there...

[Datzilla]

Good for The Lep! They did this song justice while making it their own. Remakes are such a slippery slope. When covering a song, there is a fine line between homage and garbage.

[VariousAlex]

Good

[MrJosh2152]

Defleappard is bad A*s. they can all most make any song better

[moderndaysamson]

@MrJosh2152 No Doubt friend....They just made this one better for sure....LOVE Def Leppard!

[XxCanineBlackRosesxX]

Don't get me wrong David Essex does it better BUT no other band can do a cover of rock on better than Leppard. I fucking love this band!

ROCK ON

[EyMeng]

i think its incredibly tragic that good bands dont record correctly and end up sounding like the Jonas brothers not the music but the SOUND of each instrument

[HalloweensCoarpse]

watz wrong everybody?!!!

[codyeddye]

ROCK ON!!!

[BUZZUBUZZU]

Smashng Pumpkins do it coooooooooooler!!!

[protectoroffaith]

@BUZZUBUZZU smashing pumpkins are a bunch of douch bag wanna bes def leppard is a real band got it they did this best only to fall secound to the ordigonal version done by david essex GOT IT BUZZU BUZZU

[BUZZUBUZZU]

@protectoroffaith your opinion...

[protectoroffaith]

@BUZZUBUZZU ya but see your a doush bag wannna be aswell so your opinion does not matter when it comes to music seeing that your into the new shit aswell def leppard has sold more albums has more fans and makes more money than the smashing pumpkins make in the pittiful little lives so shut up and go back to your crappy little gay ass faggety life of smashing pumpkins and god smack and the worst band of all SLIPKNOT!!!

[BUZZUBUZZU]

@protectoroffaith well, I don' t care how album a band sells, i lesten to a band that rocks, and Smashing Pumpkins does! I don't say that Def Leppard are better than Pumpkins, I say that Pumpkin's version is more kick ass (listen to the drum), but are opinion, I like Def Leppard very much. by the way I agree about Slipknot or God Smak... only crap.

[protectoroffaith]

@BUZZUBUZZU you do realize the drummer in def leppard is a one armed bandet (literally ) so lets see god smak or smashing pumpkins drummer do what he can do one armed

[BUZZUBUZZU]

@protectoroffaith Yah, I know that Def Leppard' s Drummer has only one arm, and he is very good and brave to play in a rock Band, and I admire him so much. ( I'm a drummer too)

[protectoroffaith]

@BUZZUBUZZU then why the hell are you listening to the new shit why are not listening to the good old stuff theres a few new bands i like but thats a very few

[BUZZUBUZZU]

@protectoroffaith because I don' t live in past. I listen old stuf as Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, Van Halen, Deep Purple, Zappa, Captai Beefheart, and other... the music has evolved, and I think that now there is good stuff, but Mainstream, is lame.

Smahing Pumpkins has a great rock ' n ' roll powerto me. like Queens Of The Stone Age, Clinic. they are different each other, but still pretty good to my ears.

only my opinion.

[supersmrf]

@BUZZUBUZZU i just looked at there version it sucked asshole the fuckin lead singer fucks up the lyrics, it isn't even Rock On anymore its some other crap it sounds terrible

[BUZZUBUZZU]

@supersmrf it's always an your opinion.

[CHRISTINANable]

cool song

[nePALiGuitarist]

its awesome guys....dunno y i couldnt find the official vid,.neways.., thumbs up !!!

[poetrymom24]

[TMundo]

@poetrymom24 the one that came out in 2006

[Kryptonite7000]

I love this song and it's kinda hard to find on youtube, but why, in this version, is there like 2 minutes of silence at the end?

[angryslug1]

i like this one as good as the original

[SkinnyFatBoyzz]

it sucks becuz yu cant find the actuall video no where on youtube :( .

[dereklyons4]

nice vid! could'nt find this song anywhere on youtube!

[blurrylines]

freakin awesome. musical taste is somewhat subjective but in my opinion this is much better then the original (david essex i think) and the smashing pumpkins version that i heard sucked-especially the vocals. rock on.

[GenMata]

@blurrylines Essex version was awesome for the time period. The music was ahead of it's time.

[sdegroot1]

@GenMata Michael Damian's version and this one actually showed respect for the essence of the original song. Could you imagine what a remake of this would sound like today? I shudder to think.....

[wheeler1]

@blurrylines not much different thn the original, if you ask me...both are cool

[Blizzardaddictmeow]

smashing pumpkins version is heaps better.

[EliHillen]

@Blizzardaddictmeow no its not ! it sucks

[sharpeyroks]

I flippin love this song. xD
