Def Leopard with their one armed drummer. This was also after Steve Clark, one of their original guitarists, and the dude who did most of the lead stuff, died after mixing alcohol and prescription drugs.
Posted by denny at June 1, 2008 12:00 AMGotta give Rick Allen some credit for keepin' on keepin' on with his one arm action. He refused to feel sorry for himself and continued to rip! With Steve 'Steamin' Clark checkin' out, it's amazing that they kept it up. Def Leppard got their dicks knocked in the dirt and continued to put out some "gettin' pussy in the back of the car" music. I have to credit some of their tunes for some road head gotten back in the day...
Rock on...

hey. this might hurt, but you know i'm no troll. i used to sneak the pyromania cassette tape and my sony walkman that weighed about four pounds with batteries to school in my backpack.
i used to jam to this instead of paying attention to mrs. waistboobies in home ec. f*ck the establishment, ya know? i was in the sixth grade. sort of explains why i can't cook an egg.
pyromania! dude, you need a flashback warning on this post!

Posted by: patrick on June 1, 2008 01:54 PMRick Allen is down on his knees thanking god every day that he didn't lose both of his legs and become miserable and worthless, a sub-human creature totally reliant on the kindness of society to live and move, a harsh and useless life known only to those who have lost all value to society.
Posted by: drooling cumspit on June 1, 2008 06:58 PMHey look! Speaking of someone who has a "useless life known only to those who have lost all value to society", Drooling cumspot is back.
Posted by: Denny on June 1, 2008 08:39 PMIf drooling cumspot lost a limb, he/she/it would probably 1) try to find someone to blame and 2) Use it to generate sympathy and a monetary income so as to never have to work a day in their life. Of course, he/she/it probably doesn't work as it is now, so what's the difference.

BAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHA! I remember the 4lb. Sony Walkman and the scratchy earphones. Those were the days. Fukin' great!
I have a sister-in-law who's the biggest fan ever and after sitting through a few of their rockumentaries, I gotta believe Def Lep is one of the hardest working bands out there. Good for them and their success.
Plus their music really, really rocks.
Posted by: whall on June 1, 2008 11:36 PMdrooling cumspot has an inferiority complex against cripples. How pathetic is that? Rick can hold him while Denny punches the shit out of him.
Posted by: vetfromhell on June 2, 2008 01:20 AMDef Leppard is a great band, period. Steve Clark was one of the reasons I picked up a guitar as a teeneager.
For a bunch of guys to put their career on hold for four years while their one-armed drummer relearns to play his instrument is a testament to the character of the band. They easily could have given Rick Allen a check for a $1,000,000 and wished him well.
How come musicians can have character like that and our poliicians always take the easiest way out?
