This song was dedicated to Steve Clark of Def Leppard.

This is when he split right before They split... kinda sad to watch really, but they performed well I thought. Tommy is always missed!

I was in high school 85-89 when these guys came out with this. I'll never forget the day our local radio station announced Steve was gone- he truly was one of the greats. I haven't really listed to this song in over 15 years, I still get goosebumps.

idiot... Steve Clark was a member of Def Leppard (notice spellin) he was literally a guitar legend ... a guitar hero if you will. He had some issues. Killed himself. Tesla wrote a song for him. Beautiful. The riff at the end gives me chills.

To all..... Aside from the obvious lyrics about Steve... Has anyone else ever noticed how all of the guitar parts in this song are very steve clark inspired??

@normygto Me to every time especially live i get really emotional defleppard was my fave b4 these guys

Great comments about Steve. However, I don't think anybody mentioned how much this song fits exactly the theme of Steve's life. To all those who just found out who Steve Clark was, read about him, watch the Def Leppard movie, and then listen to the song again and read the lyrics. It's haunting. Very emotional song.

I know who Steve is, and i'm 13. I'm named after him.

@teslajunkie agreed..... it is a little sad to see Tesla as a foursome. Tommy is missed but not forgotten. Dave, however, has done a splendid job. I think he's brought great a great vibe to the band.

I was a senior in high school when I heard the radio announce the death of Steve Clark! I cried for days!!! Steve was one of the GREATEST GUITARIST!!! MISS AND LOVE YOU STEVE!!! This coming Jan 8th will be 20 yrs, since Steve's passing!

It is truly sad that young people do not know who Steve is. He was by far one of the greatest guitarists in the history of rock music.....his soul poured out of every note he ever played put him miles above any great "technical" guitarist. Taz...search for Def Leppard and watch videos from 1980 to 1987 and you will see how great this guy was.
