Viv cambell is a great guitarist, Steve Clark died before his time, Rick Allen lost his arm after pyro, Rick Sav wanted peace and Joe wanted to keep DEF LEPPARD going no matter what. Just take it for what it is and listen to the Fu%^iN# music. I've been shredding Def Leppard tunes since I was 12 and I'm 31 to this day. R.I.P Steve M. Clark and R.I.P Dimebag while I'm at it... luv u youtubers.
@TheSleathable . they were on the downhill b4 he lost his arm. first pete left or was kicked out, then clarkie died and the replacements were shit and contributed nuthin
@DublinMetalhead Phil Collen and Vivian Campbell are amazing guitarists. Rick Allen is a great drummer even with one arm, and Joe still sounds just as good as he did in the 80's. get over it. Steve Clark was great, but not irriplaceble. And Pete was kicked out because he was drunk constantly and it was holding them back.
@tommy81296 personally I thought euphoria was a great album. either way, it's unfortunate that he's gone. He was an amazing guitarists. Def Leppard changed a bit. but they're still awsome.
@TheSleathable i wonder the same....that electric sound really boosted the sound into the 80s sound that i think of. now he stays acoustic. but do you hear rock bands with that 80s drum sound? no and if u find one...i was wrong.....white snake had that rick allen pyro hysteria drum sound
@TheSleathable Pyromania's drums are done on an electronic drum kit, it was first made for drummers that needed more control over the volume. however, Allen liked the sound of it, so He began using it in place of his old drum set. He also keeps real symbols on his, because the electronic ones sound to unnatural. He's still perfectly capable of using a "real" drum kit.
@xHLGxkillermonkey Yes he is a great drummer..I was just interested to know weather the electronic drums were at first an artistic choice or no choice. If he like electronic so much why didnt he use them on stage with Pyromania?
@TheSleathable and pyromania's drums were completely computer generated.. it was around the time that Rick was recovering from his accident that it was being recorded, so they just used a drum machine for the album
@jimihendrixtribute You are right about Pyromania's drums being sampled. But it was not because of Rick's accident. It's because Mutt had wanted it that way. He was really into the drums on Human League's album that he wanted it precise as such. It wasn't until pre-Production got underway for Hysteria that Rick had his accident.
@jimihendrixtribute dude you are totally wrong! Allen played the drums on Pyromania. How the fuck can Rick Allen be recovering from his accident while recording pyromania and still have both arms in the videos released from pyromania?? dude, he used his electronic kit after the accident which was before recording Hysteria, on the hysteria album Allen used a specially designed simmons kit for recording and live shows. get your facts straight.
How FUN to see a vintage and very raw vid. It's a riot. Anyway, I enjoyed seeing/listening to it. I've been a DL fan since High 'n Dry, but I've never seen them like this. Thanks for the post!
if you do this exact same voice and just force it more it sounds exactly like the 1988 the in the round voice he did.
i'm guessing he probably didn't hear himself clear enough through the instruments in the monitors, which is usually only common with bands that aren't used to play live though.
this is interesting b/c on the other live clips on YT of Def Leppard in 83, Joe Elliott sounds great (check out Billy's Got a Gun), but this sounds really bad...
wow sorry (I know this song from a cover of my fav band) nd wanted to know if the original is good too (well music video/recorded it is really cool I think)
and i wanted to get the idea of how the original sound live, but to be honest you HAVE to admit that this is a joke... I mean the voice (atleast in this performance, will watch others too) is really crappy and there is no thing you can tell me that this is wrong. wasnt his best day here I guess
and besides, every guitarist has their own sound whether they use les pauls with marshall amplification or jacksons with randall amplification!!! being a guitarist is all about finding the right tone with whatever effect you use and sticking with it ! steve found his and thats what gave the signature Def Leppard sound in the 80s
for people who say Def Leppard sucked after Steve died, get the fuck over it. Def Leppards music started changing during Pyromania and Steve was alive so what's your response to that? and besides, if they wanted Vivian to sound like Steve, they would have told him to. Def Leppard is amazing no matter which album of theirs you listen to
vivian could never take the place of "steamin STEVE CLARK" and yes they totally changed the style of music! so fuck you! apparently you did not grow up in the era of this song and album!
If you still think they rock go and listen to their new shit. Oh and shut your fucking mouth about Clark stupid bitch. Don't come on here and slam Clark dumbass teenager
Skill as a technitian on guitar or a creative guitar player? He is both of these things of course, but i mean kurt cobain was very sloppy but he did more to change rock guitar than almost anyone, so you can't judge a guitar player by how fast they can play.
@ace586 Its how you 'define' technique.....Steve's stuff is very much more difficult too play compared too a lot of metallica stuff... Steve had this sleazy style but his riffs are very unique and different ... and often pretty hard too play
Its the audio that sounds bad, in the mix you can't hear the drums, bass, or second guitar. Live they sounded much better, I saw them twice in 83, opening for Billy Squier and at the Sky Show in San Diego and they kicked butt. Joe did struggle a bit on this one, but with the full band kicking at concert volumes it actually sounded raw and in your face...I miss the High n Dry energy..the latter stuff was to processed to carry this much energy even live when they used harmonizers.
im a pro musisician with a platinum album. i saw them in 83. joe is aloooot better than you think he was live then. this video must have been a sore night with using too much falsetto to get by. trust me, the guy rocked then!
why is Phil playing the rideout solo, on the other live version Steve plays it and makes it sound great. Also, whats wrong with there voices they dont seem to have there harmony and Joes voice is different, is it just the audio or what.
It does NOT look like Phil is playing the rideout solo. If you look at his strumming, where he's fretting, and his rhythm (watch his elbow & feet) he is playing the main riff. In fact the rideout solo on the Hysteria tour sounds like it evolved from this one.
In my opinion they went downhill BEFORE Hysteria. The only song I can tolerate on that album is "Women". OTTN, H&D and Pyromania are still awesome to this day though!
@defleppard0717 we are allowed to have a fucking opinion just because you think they still rock doesn't mean the rest of us do does it. Just lkike we are sick of you assholes telling us how they still rock lie they used to. Everyone has a opinion and we are entitled to them don't like keep your mouth shut and move on fuck what is it with this shitty fans today like onlt their fucking opinion counts.
@TrueSMCfan dude i can tell just by ur screename that u are an early leps fan... and it's cool to have ur own opinion, lol..just like i have mine(: take care! (asshole)
@TrueSMCfan i love how u just picked an argument w/me JUST to simply pick an argument...u have no reasoning for being an asshole, unless u are just a natural (thats my guess).. so please, do us all a favor...shut the fuck up, and just enjoy the music, daaaaaammnn, stop bein a bitch.
FUCK YES AWSOME AWSOME LAST GOOD ERA(83) FROM ONE OF THE BEST HEAVY METAL/ROCK BANDS EVER, R.I.P. DEF LEPPARD! (Hysteria is only listenable drunk haha.)
THAT WAS GREAT, THANK YOU! WTF do you expect demonhoopa, that wasnt some huge production it was someone that was priviledged to film it and get maybe one mono RCA jack off the main board for sound. Its a raw, hungry def lep on the cusp of their year or two of being the #1 metal act on the planet. After Rick lost the arm and the band lost Mutt Lange, I slowly lost interestct. I now have much more appreciation for Joes vocals.
About 7 or 8 years ago Joe Elliot said this was one of the most difficult songs for anyone to sing live. The lyrics come fast and quick and you can't take deep breaths between each line. Joe was even thinking of not singing it anymore but said it would cause the DL fans to revolt if he quit singing it live. Vince Neil of Motley Crue actually said the same thing about singing "Shout at The Devil". I have heard Joe sing this song much better and I've heard the band play it better.
I agree, saw them several times on stage Reading Fetival (1980), Paris and in Rouen in 83?(my friends from Anoxie did hte first part)- on stage the singer was alwys too "short" and far away from the studio. Personnaly I never thought he was a good singer.
dude have you heard rock of ages in 83/it sounds like there all racin' to finish the song before the other band memeber.i luv these guys soooooo much but they really didn't get good LIVE until hysteria.
ok def leppard were better as they went on but every 1 of there albums was awesome and they never ever ever ever ever ever ever sucked. they were always awesome.
Hell yes they've ALWAYS had great albums from the get go.if your replying about my comment about them sucking it was directted strictly to there OLD performances.They're amazing live now.
This really isn't that bad a performance (a little pitchy here and there, no biggie). What you're hearing is a HIDEOUS recording and mix. This is a prefect example of why bootleg recordings were a crime back in the day.
Hey,if this was in any way aimed at my comment above,I TOTALLY LOVE EVERY ONE OF THE LEPP ALBUMS!i said that i didn't like them "LIVE" until about 87 or 88.really they were the best band you could imagine until steve passed in my opinion.I totally agree that they've always rocked!but it took them awhile to get the hang of live performances and i'm sure as they're wealth increased i know the equipment got better wich lead to an even better live sound.I hate when people twist my words!
Think of the amount of money the band had for their live setup at this time. After the success of Pyro, they could afford a better sound setup....that's why the Hysteria tour sounded so good. They sound great on the Adrenalize tour as well because of the money used for the sound setup.They sounded very raw on the Pyro tour and earlier tours.
They reallly sucked until like 1987 or 88'.my mom saw them in 83' and left the concert it was sooooo bad.theyr friken awesome now though.seing this song live this year was awesome it was perfect.rock on lepp!
i'm not saying the band's music sucked,god the albums were great.for christ's sake i've got the e.p.,but otherwise i just think def leppard live until about 87' sucked.you can't tell me this video actually sounds good!give pyromania;track 2 a listen.big difference huh.then listen to photograph on historia/in the round.i'd say that's a big improvement.
well that is a true fact,but still my mom saw them and LEFT the concert.and you can hear all the squeaking the p.a. systems doing.They are truely an amazing live band though now,trust me iv'e seen them live.def leppard are my hero's!
Gear and soundmen are better nowadays. This was new music back then. Plus, all new bands suck in their early shows. That's what makes this stuff cool as shit.
It's funny to see Joe singing up there about as well as I could right now. Joe became a much more accomplished vocalist, later on and he did it through sheer determination.

Yes they did. After Pyro, it all became a mission of bubblegum dreck catering to the wet knicker crowd on MTV.

@rickallenthundergd This. Plus Joe's voice sounds a lot better in the In the Round Live version of Photograph during the Hysteria tour.

THAT WAS GREAT, THANK YOU! WTF do you expect demonhoopa, that wasnt some huge production it was someone that was priviledged to film it and get maybe one mono RCA jack off the main board for sound. Its a raw, hungry def lep on the cusp of their year or two of being the #1 metal act on the planet. After Rick lost the arm and the band lost Mutt Lange, I slowly lost interestct. I now have much more appreciation for Joes vocals.

AMAZING lyrics.

About 7 or 8 years ago Joe Elliot said this was one of the most difficult songs for anyone to sing live. The lyrics come fast and quick and you can't take deep breaths between each line. Joe was even thinking of not singing it anymore but said it would cause the DL fans to revolt if he quit singing it live. Vince Neil of Motley Crue actually said the same thing about singing "Shout at The Devil". I have heard Joe sing this song much better and I've heard the band play it better.

I agree, saw them several times on stage Reading Fetival (1980), Paris and in Rouen in 83?(my friends from Anoxie did hte first part)- on stage the singer was alwys too "short" and far away from the studio. Personnaly I never thought he was a good singer.
Fulcrand76 4 years ago
Vocally a far cry from the records. Elliot is out of his range and trying to do a power falsetto. Tom Keifer did it much better.

hysteriagirl94 3 years ago
nah Def Leppard and this song were around before Cinderella debuted in 1986.
mrlee192 3 years ago
really,i thought cinderella was around longer than that.i knew photograph was an 83' release,it was on pyromania.the lepp's been around since 1977.
hysteriagirl94 3 years ago
dude have you heard rock of ages in 83/it sounds like there all racin' to finish the song before the other band memeber.i luv these guys soooooo much but they really didn't get good LIVE until hysteria.
hysteriagirl94 3 years ago
This is so farkin great.Proof that Def Lep could do it live.Go Joe!

ok def leppard were better as they went on but every 1 of there albums was awesome and they never ever ever ever ever ever ever sucked. they were always awesome.
matt84756328569 4 years ago
Hell yes they've ALWAYS had great albums from the get go.if your replying about my comment about them sucking it was directted strictly to there OLD performances.They're amazing live now.
hysteriagirl94 4 years ago
This really isn't that bad a performance (a little pitchy here and there, no biggie). What you're hearing is a HIDEOUS recording and mix. This is a prefect example of why bootleg recordings were a crime back in the day.
demonhoopa 4 years ago
Hey,if this was in any way aimed at my comment above,I TOTALLY LOVE EVERY ONE OF THE LEPP ALBUMS!i said that i didn't like them "LIVE" until about 87 or 88.really they were the best band you could imagine until steve passed in my opinion.I totally agree that they've always rocked!but it took them awhile to get the hang of live performances and i'm sure as they're wealth increased i know the equipment got better wich lead to an even better live sound.I hate when people twist my words!
hysteriagirl94 3 years ago 2
Think of the amount of money the band had for their live setup at this time. After the success of Pyro, they could afford a better sound setup....that's why the Hysteria tour sounded so good. They sound great on the Adrenalize tour as well because of the money used for the sound setup.They sounded very raw on the Pyro tour and earlier tours.
ROCK ON!!!
Texman4268 4 years ago 2
sucked until 88' are you crazy..pyro was last good rec..you are an idiot
aaronmfriedman 4 years ago
thats just your opinion. your entitled to it. but how do you explain the sales of their albums after pyro, and the sold out shows they do now?
TheHillDirector 4 years ago
They reallly sucked until like 1987 or 88'.my mom saw them in 83' and left the concert it was sooooo bad.theyr friken awesome now though.seing this song live this year was awesome it was perfect.rock on lepp!
hysteriagirl94 4 years ago
Most people think if they ever sucked, which they didn't, it was after '87.
High n Dry and Pyromania are classic Rock albumsm Hysteria nad adrenalize are Pop Rock.
Bigbadben7 4 years ago
i'm not saying the band's music sucked,god the albums were great.for christ's sake i've got the e.p.,but otherwise i just think def leppard live until about 87' sucked.you can't tell me this video actually sounds good!give pyromania;track 2 a listen.big difference huh.then listen to photograph on historia/in the round.i'd say that's a big improvement.
hysteriagirl94 4 years ago
part of it's the video. imagine it live, in on a stage, in an auditorium. I bet it sounded better than this in real life.
TheHillDirector 4 years ago
well that is a true fact,but still my mom saw them and LEFT the concert.and you can hear all the squeaking the p.a. systems doing.They are truely an amazing live band though now,trust me iv'e seen them live.def leppard are my hero's!
hysteriagirl94 4 years ago
Gear and soundmen are better nowadays. This was new music back then. Plus, all new bands suck in their early shows. That's what makes this stuff cool as shit.
