  • u have no taste go listen to your shit rap or pop or whatever

  • it's THAT the rock ! ♥

  • i kind of agree with malmsteen1990 nothing can compare to the early def leppard songs which rocked but it is still a good song

  • Not a huge leppard fan but overall i like this cover of this song David Essex was okay but this has more soul not bad

  • I was gonna see them in concert but they fucking CANCELLED IT!!! for "personal reasons" i still like em though

  • Yeah, that bummed me out!

  • saw them in concert..ooooh ya!

  • its a cover as are all of the songs from the album 'Yeah!' :)

  • sfasfsf

  • All that talk and no proof.

  • i have this song on cd!! its a good album

  • wut album is this off! i wanna find da def leppard album wif it on! dus any1 no it?? x

  • i do. the album is called a YEAH! the picture of the album is in this video at the end of it.

  • Its off of the "YEAH" album i believe

  • i like the oringal but i think def leppard did a awsome cover

  • Yeah, the music video wasn't bad either.

  • any song def leppard does is the best!!!!!!!!!! get it through yalls heads!!!!!

  • I cant stand the origional version of the song after hearing this one.

  • I'm a little disappointed that they left out the awesome "JAMES DEAN" part, but it's still a good job.

  • this I think is one of there best songs besides 21st sha la la la girl

  • while I have liked some Def leppard songs in the past, I had reservations about this one. Pleased to say that this one ROCKS

  • kicks ass \m/

  • jump up and down in my blue suede shoes. awsome remake by def leppard. love this song.

  • who is the original artist who produced this??

  • Comment removed

  • i think it was david essex

  • MrPrestonL--yes it was David Essex. I believe it was in 1989 that Michael Damian's cover of this song went to No. 1 Michael also rereleased this song on his latest album out April of this year. I was a huge MD fan as a teenager, and still love his versions, but DL's is awesome

  • originally done by david essex (in 78?) not sure who prduced it defo not mutt lang

  • david essex

  • def leppard are the greatest!!!

  • all i can say people"ROCK ON"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • actually, phil uses a couple guitars in this vid ;)

  • This video is doing this to me : watch?v=SYy34fPuP4A&feature=re­lated

  • Rock on

  • i love this version, mostly because its Def Leppard, but the electric guitars make it just that much better

  • yer that is well true, i LOVE the way that Sav plays the bass in this

  • GOD DAMN! ROCK ON!!!

  • nice song! I like this version. ^^

    Got curious because Felix Cane used this music for her pole dance routine..and it was jaw-dropping.

    (*0*) <--starstruck

  • David Essex was the first singer of 'Rock On'.

  • Great cover by def leppard, but just curious though who first did this song?

  • not a bad remake

  • this was the first song i liked from "yeah",and at the end of the song really kicked hard ass.DEF LEPPARD ROOOOOOOOOCKS,LOOOOONG LIVE DEF LEPPARD!!!!

  • Absolutely Fucking Amazing.

    Thank you guys for a flawless show last night.

  • I was there. and it was good.

    It was fucking amazing.

    RTW.

  • I agree Justme0verhere....

    These guys are WAY above the hair metal B.S. they actually have talent!! Joe Elliott is still HOT! I saw them in concert in 1988...they ROCKED the Richmond Coliseum!! Joe in his torn up jeans!!!

  • i like two steps behind better

  • i like love bites and photograph better than most but def leppard still rocks =P

  • this my new fave song

  • seeing them sunday!!!!

  • HAIR METAL!!!!!!!!!!!

  • not hair metal, they predated hair metal. Hair metal came about after shitty bands realized they could use the same sucess formula to get famous, then (25 years later) wish they were dead for becoming famous. Fucking idiots if you ask me, which you didnt, but weh

  • saw them last night in the pavilion! :)

  • Saw them play this last night in Houston.

  • Just like fine wine !!

  • is awesome.........saludos desde Colombia....

  • why doesnt this song have more views its awesome!

  • haha awesome i actually saw them tonight in tampa and yes they are still really good

  • I saw them play this song last nite in West Palm Beach, Florida and they are still AWSOME!!

  • pop

  • Big up from Congo! This band is Da bomb!

    Back in 80's I used to watch their video on tv. Rock on!

  • love them badass dusters

  • Joe is supa-fly!!!

  • Indeed.

    Take care.....................

  • The J. Geils Band (pronounced "Guiles") is an American rock band formed in 1967 in Worcester, Massachusetts, that had a successful R&B-influenced blues-rock sound in the 1970s, before moving towards a more pop-influenced sound in the 1980s, which brought them MTV airplay and their 1982 international hit single, "Centerfold." Since their initial break-up in 1983, the band has reunited several times.

    Thank God for cut & paste.............

  • thanks - i meant it as a cheeky comment, i did look it up 3 hours ago, i do not remember them making a huge impact in France with their tunes : DL got booed off stage but that J Geils band did not go on selling multi platinums - thank God indeed.

  • I saw them in 1978, they opened for J Geils and were in their teens. Shamefully they got booed off the stage after only two songs as J Geils was super hot then. I liked them, the crowd at that time did not like them at all. I'll never forget the lead singer giving us all the finger while walking off stage.

  • who is J Geils ?

  • Awesome Cover Def Leppard Rules!!!

    Their Still Awesome I Saw Them In Va Beach in July

  • Its a great cover, i think it couldve used some more electric guitar since the whole song was kind of bass and drums

  • i had not heard the original David Essex version and just listened to it : i really feel like somebody forgot to hit the switch on the guitars ;-) after listening to the DL version with their unmistakable paw-print touch.

  • I love the 'paw print touch' comment. They are amazing. I love this song. I'm about to listen to the D E version- I've never heard it. I'll be sure to let ya know how I feel about it.

  • yo rockfan, i was there too dude

  • amazing band

  • its a shame they took the original off

    that was a classic

  • The drummer Rick and Simply Red singer look alike. They could be brothers.

  • I like all versions of this song! Can't wait to see Def Leppard and Poison and Cheap Trick on Tuesday!!!! I hope it will be fun and exciting!

  • i saw that concert at the end of june in scranton, pa. it was awesome! you'll love it

  • this is such an amzing song.

  • very rare that you get a cover better than the original..

    Brilliant (as usual) from the boys from Sheffield.....I also like the video to go with it!

  • Their Amazing Live, Saw them in Va Beach Awesome!!!

  • Saw them in Detroit on Friday, they sounded amazing! Great show and great crowd!  I hope they come around next year and do this song again.

  • I loved the show in Indy! They were so good, I swear when they came on I almost RAN to the stage!

  • Saw these guys Friday in Detroit this song sounded great , awesome show.

  • I was just at that concert in Indy also! Didn't know that they had covered this song...

  • I love this video! God bless my guys! Talented & good looking to boot. Oh be still my heart...gotta go to the Confessional.

  • phils bella guitar is so tight in this video.. prefect guitar for this video

  • they are my favorite band. great cover of a great david essex original. i seen them in cincinnati with poison and cheap trick. awesome show!

  • i just went to their concert in indianapolis. It was fuckin amazin

  • i saw them in saratoga they were mind blowing

  • Wow I had no idea they remade this song, it's awsome =) me like

  • I just went to the Def Leppard, Poison, and Cheap Trick concert in Kansas City. Def Leppard still rules and still rocks my world! The sound amazing live.

  • i saw dem in scranton PA nd yea they r amazing live. i luv dem

  • I was always a big fan of the David Essex version, but this one is great, too!

  • For the people who watch this vid, then comment and hate, what are you even doing watching the video if you thought it would be retarded in the first place?

    BTW- LIVE LONG DEF LEPPARD! [they are really really really good live!]

  • Right the fukk on. U make a great point that the airheads of 2day need to ay attention to. And Yes, Live long DEF LEPPARD!!!

  • I agree except you are older than me, but to me def leppard has always been synonomous with shit music, i just wanted to hear this cause i love the original, they butchered this song as i knew they would.

  • ur just jealous, def leppard is the shit they're awesome and i love them

  • So if you "knew" they'd butcher the song, why did you bother? Please go waste your own time. I've heard both songs and I think this is a great cover.

  • I'm sorry for wasting your time by making you reply to my comment, if you like the song so much why don't you just listen to it and stfu. Do you really think Def Leppard needs you to defend their honor or does that just make you a better fan?

  • No. My time was already wasted by reading your reply. I had nothing to lose.

  • except more time, and then you waste even more time by replying again, it doesn't take but a second to read shit, you just figured you'd go ahead and waste even more time by replying...

  • go fuck a duck fool. You have no clue what your talking about.

  • legitimateJunkiee, go fuck yourself man. If a 2 year old song is old for you, fuck are you doin' listening to Def Leppard? Go listen to fuckin miley cirus bitch.

  • Who sung the original of this

  • David Essex

  • thnx man

  • ide love if someone did a cover of this today

  • You realize this was just remade no longer than a year ago right?

  • 2 years ago,

    and thats pretty old.

  • Ah. Word.

  • first 3 albums really rock but this sucks !! sorry..

  • ....ccool...sets u on a high..

  • didnt have to call people morons

  • woww they look stunning here and this song is stunning i lovee themmmmmmm!!!

  • these guys can't sing their own crap so they should stay the hell away from others music. terrible.

  • hebber, when you're old and gray, you're gonna think of all the time you spent flaming Def Leppard videos, when you could have been doing more meaningful things, perhaps looking for a girlfriend, finding employment, making a nice little life for yourself... it's never too late to change

  • but they're so bad, it's so easy & fun for all ages. teach me how to pee Dr. Phil.

  • fuck you you little pussy ass bitch, at least they aint soap stars

  • they ain't musicians either

  • how can you say that when they have been putting out albums since 1977, they've sold over 35 million albums in the us alone, and they are not a one hit wonder.

  • love the band!!!! but this version of this song aint as good as david essexs

  • i agree

  • I disagree, but hey, different strokes for different folks. I think all the covers they did on this album are great.

  • this is a good band doing a cover of a good song from another good band ......PROPS YO

  • this is leppard they are the hardest working band i have all their albums on vinyl cassette and cd def leppard we,re the 80's they defind the 80's and they can still rock and kick ass

  • rock oon

  • i prefer their older stuff

  • Rock ON! As only Def Leppard can!!

  • Remake of a kick ass version of the 70's original by David Esses. Both are cool, though I love the throbbing bass in the original. Nice ot see bands redo great songs of times gone by.

    Kind Regards to all.

  • Rick lost his arm in a car accident several years ago.....I was at Blossum, They KICKED ASS.....they are one of the GREATEST!!!!!

  • Savs the best :)...the original version of this sux compared to this, tho ☺

  • i just went to see def leppard last night at blossom and he didnt have 1 arm

  • yes i was there. he had one arm. it might not of looked like it. but he did only have one. when they showed him drumming on the big screen it if looked hard u could see he was only using one arm. at one part in one of their songs they had a back up drummer too. so maybe that was it?

  • car accident

  • great song

  • This is a nice cover. Hard to top the original but I'm listening to this version.

  • i'm glad they mentioned James Dean...

  • This band is amazing! I mean come on, their drummer has one arm :)

  • he didnt always hav one arm so now they cant do some of their earier songs

    guys if u read this and kno different correct me
