Drummer Rick Allen lost his arm in a car accident in 1984. The band waited 2 years for him to relearn to play drums.He uses electric drums with foot pedals that trigger the beat.More Def Leppard suggestions : "Rock of Ages" "Foolin" "Photograph" "Women" "Bringing on the Heartbreak"

It's actually a custom made drum kit with some pedals to replace what his left arm would normally play and the right arm does what it used to. I met him and saw the kit close up in the late 90s...really sweet young man and incredible kit made from primarily his ideas and design as he was recuperating.

Rick Allen lost his arm in a car accident. The band instead of replacing him. They waited for him to recover.

And he’s been a drummer for 40 years, and can drum better with his one arm than Rick could with two. About most disrespectful thing I’ve ever heard.

Rick Allen losing his arm wouldn't be the last time that they'd do this either. They did something similar when Joe Elliott had contracted the mumps twice, which rendered him sterile.

When the drummer lost his arm in a car accident the rest of the band refused to keep the band going without him and they waited until l chose to return after he had physical therapy and had created a new way for him to play the drums. That is a real band mentality. One for all and all for one.

Def Leppard are still recording and touring to this day….I saw the tour in the video “Hysteria” back in ‘88…complete with that round moving stage in Moncton, NB Canada…it was amazing.. And welcome to the world of The Thunder God, Rick Allen, one of the most inspirational stories ever…..lost his arm in a car accident just after the band got hot, the band refused to give up on him, and waited for him to get well and rejoin before recording Hysteria. His drum kit is part standard and part electronic, and he uses his foot to play more than just the kick drum….revolutionary at the time.

The REALLY EARLY Def Leppard is where it's at....high & dry, let it go, bringing on the heartbreak, too late for love, foolin'....more raw, less heavily produced, edgier and rocking harder.

@jp3813 6 ай бұрын

I never understood the logic of edgier & harder = better music. It's the same logic that many metalheads use to label this band as being only for women. They were consistently great throughout the 80s and early 90s.

@kperry1969 6 ай бұрын

@jp3813 it's just a personal preference. There is clearly more technology at play here and songs after the first three albums, maybe partly to compensate for Rick Allen having to use feet much more, as well as rock music evolving (not for the better) in the mid 80s. Even Judas Priest went kind of Def Leppard's wussy turn after the brilliance of screaming for vengeance and defenders of the faith. Less rocking, more synthesizer was just the thing. 1984 is absolutely amazing, but compared to all VH prior to Diver Down, it possesses a lot less nastiness, particularly Fair Warning. So in summary, just personal taste for the earlier (the subsequent stuff is still really good), overall seismic shift in music halfway through the decade, and as with everything, MONEY

i remember when this happened; i was 14 and waas a big fan og Pyromania by that time and understood that Rick allen was out of a job. That their drummer had lost their arm, and everyone wondered what they were going to do. When they didn't replace anybody, and Rick came out with one arm, but drumming like he always did.. we carried on and incorporated the knowledge as normal. So I"m always surprised when ppl don't know about the drummer, and how amazing this man was, to learn how to drum with one arm. Plus, he kept his job and that's really the important part. Most people back in the day wanted bands to stay together.. we wanted all original members of bands to partake in the success overall.. it doesn't always happen for some.

Unfortunately motley crue was a disappointment because Vince Neil can't remember the words to his own songs, nor can he sing. Come to think of it, the singer, Joe elliott is 64 years old. I don't know how he remembers the words to such a huge catalog of songs, and sounds so great despite his age. I'm 61 and can't even remember my grocery list at the store!

Def Leppard is my favorite band from that time and it is because they waited on Rick Allen to heal from his accident, have a special drum kit made, and relearn how to play the drums. Not many bands would do that for another member, especially now days. I also love their music. I don't know how many times I've watched their Hysteria concert on YT. They are a class act, and I do love their music. My opinion, they are a class act for waiting for Rick to get it together. It paid off! Rick does a lot of work with the military helping them to overcome trauma. Rick and his wife are co-founders of the Raven Drum Foundation. He also formed the One Hand Drum Co. that makes drum kits for amputees.

I don't know if i would classify Def Leppard as METAL, that seems like an exaggeration. But one of the better Hard Rock bands of the early-to-mid 80s. I think "Hysteria" came out in 87, and it seemed as though they were releasing singles from it every few weeks. Definitely the high point of their career, this album was massive. I prefer their earlier stuff, but they are still together to this day, rockin' & touring.

@ChrisB-xm3mg 5 ай бұрын

Rick lost his arm in a car accident years ago. The band refused to give up on him and gave him as much time as he needed to come back. He now plays on a custom kit primarily with his feet. As far as them being glam metal, that was the error that they came up in but I never really considered them to be glam. Metal is such. They’re much more down to earth much more raw. They were the guys who were up on stage and ripped jeans and T-shirts they were never really about the image the way a lot of the glam bands were. if you want to go back away, their pyromania album was really good and I would say rock of ages is a good place to start action not words is always been one of my favorites, fool, and was another big hit. This song, although it was a huge hit Doesn’t really sound like a lot of the other stuff. It does have that kind of structure that it’s kind of totally focussed on the drums. You could check out something like animal, women, love bites, hysteria. And if you want a ballad from way back bring it on the heartbreak is a good one from the earlier albums and it’s pure 80s ballad.

Rick Allen loosing his arm did change the sound of the band. Joe Elliot said, "We went from those busy drum fills to the boom boom kack drum fills". It definitely moved them more into a pop sound. They had commercial songs and albums before Hysteria and had already sold millions of records but Hysteria was on another level. In the words of Mutt Lang "it was all killer, no filler". It was not only one of the best albums of the 80s. I think it's a masterpiece and one of the best records ever made... period. Every song on it is a hit.

You were 100% correct, that there is a split between those who loved their earlier hard rock sound to their later commercial output as heard here. Coming out of the New Wave of British Heavy Metal (NWOBHM) in the early 1980's, it was seen by some that they sold out to America, in sound and style, their sound and looks was not really representative of the NWOBHM movement. I prefer their earlier music but can still enjoy their later more poppier songs.

I vaguely remember reading that while Rick was recovering he read an article about a pilot that lost an arm but was able to fit his plane so that he could use his feet to help control the plane.

I was a set up tech for Def Leppard while they were in Atlanta for three shows. Their official music style was labeled....Pop Metal by Billboard Magazine. DL is one of the most listened to bands of all time. They blew Motley Crue, whom they were touring with, off the stage. An experience I will never forget.

After Ricks accident his bandmates refused to return until he was able to join them. Loyalty & friendship like I have never heard of. Rick Allen is known as 'The Thunder God' & is a highly rated drummer.

Rick Allen lost his arm in a car accident on New Year’s Eve 1984, after their 3rd album Pyromania. The band waited 4 years for him to get back to drumming! Rick constructed his own drum set making it so he uses his left foot to mimic his left hand! The band is still on tour, summer 2024 with heart and Cheep Trick 🙏🏻
