I had the pleasure to meet Rick. He is one of the most talented and nicest people you will EVER meet. We had a conversation about music once, and he is soo smart, and he knows what he is talking about.

Lars Ulrich took note of this.. He made his playstyle what it is, to be able to play the same stuff in case he lost both his arms

[fitnessisgood4u]

He's as hard as nails, and a hell of an inspiration

[BarnabasFrid]

Lynn Redgrave-- worst Eliza Doolittle ever. Ho Hum.

Rick Allen is a true inspiration to the whole world. He is still one of the best drummers in the world! I really want to see Def Leppard in concert so bad. My dad has seen them three times In concert and wants to take me.

Rick, if just 10% of the human population had 100% of your integrity this world would definitely be a much better place, kudos to you and your adapting to adversity, you have honestly contributed to my world of music, you are and always have been leppards backbone, words can't say how much I appreciate Hysteria or how much I always have, so glad you stuck it out...
