he lost his arm on the A57 road.. his car failed to yield a left hand corner and crashed he said he messsed up someone's new years eve party. what a sense of humor. i love him his arm was taken by the seatbelt which wasn't properly done. it took it off by going across his chest and left the arm in the car.. he left via the sun roof and landed in a field... you are amazing rick!!!
Just watching their interviews over the years and hearing their music, they have a lot of heart and soul, what a wonderful marriage of talented people.
He is just living proof that music doesnt live in your skeleton, it lives in your heart and soul. Another guy who I have mad respect for is a guy who plays his guitar with his feet because he has no arms. I think the video is somewhere here on youtube and its simply amazing.
If there is ever a inspiration for anyone who say's I can't, it's this man. Because all you have to do is believein yourself. It's nice for others to belive in you. But if you don't believe in yourself noone else will matter.
This song is on their CD called X...I recently got it and can stop listening to it..I am surprised some of the songs never got the notoriety it deserves..I've since bought Retro active, Sparkle lounge and a couple of their older from their begining..
He's the type of drummer that proved to me that you can still press on reguardless of what happens.Rick Allen...if you're out there...I just want to let you know that you're always appreciated by me,not just as a fan,but also as a person of integrity...AS WELL AS BEING A KICKIN' ASS DRUMMER.
Fantastic vid! Thanx for posting it, it put a huge smile on my face! Rick allen....aaahhh...there aren't enough words to describe my love for this beautiful person!
Amazing man, that's what rock and roll is all about, pushing all the bullshit aside, whether it be hatred or losing an arm, and kicking ass. Much support and love to Rick Allen.
everyone thinks joey jordison is the best drummer. he has two hands. he is the fastest double bass pedal player. but the bass pedals is the only thing he is realy good for. rick playes everything he does with his left hand with his left foot. now rick must be the best drummer. he adapted to what he is limited to!
He is really amazing. Quite an inspiration to anybody and everybody. Don't give up. Fight and don't feel sorry for yourself, get out there and do something about it.
he is awsome i have tried 2 play with just one drum stick and it is hard i mean the drums are a hard instrument 2 learn how 2 play with 2 arms but it is crazy 2 play with only 1 won arm rick aleen is mi hero and one of the most inspurational musiacions of all time
simbolo a seguir... nunca descancen, el nunca se rindio.. su nombre es rick allen el hombre que perdio su miembro estando en la gran banda de def leppard. y nunca decallo... nunca decaigan. lo admiro que jode!!!
He's my idol but theres one thing not good about him, right when he lost his arm well bout a month after he said screw this im not drumming anymore then he started taking drugs... thats what made him keep drumming inspiration but kinda not but rick u'll always be in my heart
yeah he never did. he was driving and went around a blind turn and lost control don't make comments if you have no clue what the hell you are talking about
I just went to my first Def Leppard concert and I want to give some credit to Rick Allen. What an unbelievable drummer. He lost his arm at age 22 and had to learn how to play drums all over again and with his feet. What a hero!!!! I so admire him. I was so fascinated with his drumming and his couragement. What a hero he is!!!!!
Thanks. Rick is my hero. I began as a musician because of him, but how many times have I quit and he hasn't? Damn. Watching stuff like this reminds me of my initial spark to play... 'If he can do it, what's my excuse?'
i went to their concert on july 26th 2007 and he got up and did peace and my mom said man he looks tought and i said hell yeah!!!and i got a guitar pick!!
rick allen is the best drummer in the world for me!the love of my sister's life!he is just great, the best example for fighting with life!strong man,perfect drummer!love YOOOUUU!!!
I think it's awesome that Rick is an inspiration to you and I think that his life has been made better knowing he has helped so many people overcome whatever challenges they may face. Never give up!
I play drums myself and was born with my fingers on left hand deformed so I don`t have any finger control with my that hand resultting in my left hand being alot slower than my right so you`ll understand why I think this guy is my GOD of drumming
AWESOME! Seriously no0t only helped out my band knight force and all def leppard all so kewl and kind! I idol rick allen for his amazing comeback! He is the most coolest person and not a single attitude in his blood at all. Rick is down to earth and a great guy. Thankyou for this awesome viedo you made! Thankyou def leppard and all the fans' for beleiving in him. He pushed the distance and accomplised what nobody has ever accomplished!The tru thunder god! ty vm, marty party!
yer! he is i saw him backstage when terrovision were supporting them but i didnt say hi =[ i wish i did now. singer of terrovision is my uncle lol xXx-H-xXx
this guy is a proper legend i love it that he lost his arm and still plays the drums he is wicked i love hiim for carying on with his drumming and i thought this was amazing dude thanks! watching him with 2 arms is well sad =[ xXx-H-xXx
the best drummer in the univerce!
