Rock of Ages- The Song not The Blog

Today I'm going to be talking about the song Rock of Ages by Def Leppard. The song is from Def Leppard's album Pyromania in 1983. It's a great song which has a great sounding guitar and also great sounding drums. (The drums are what I like most about Def Leppard's songs.) I have the music video below. It is ridiculous!

It's a really cool sounding song. I really like the beginning where the singer says the sort-of-German-but-more-nonsense phrase "Gunter glieben glauben globen". This phrase has no meaning, but sometimes when people would ask the band what it means, they would make up stuff.

I said to myself, "How can I make this post longer and better?"
I answered, "Just add a picture!"
Brilliant.

Def Leppard- Featuring One Great Drummer

Def Leppard is a great band that was formed in 1977. Almost all of their songs featured hard rock and awesome sounding guitars with plenty of power chords. My favorite part though is the drummer. With only one arm, Rick Allen overcame all of the troubles and succeeded in being the first one-armed drummer. You can even see for yourself in this video. This video features a live performance of Def Leppard in 1988 and you can see Rick's arm as he plays Pour Some Sugar On Me with the band.

It is just amazing how a one-armed drummer can play so great.

Here's a picture of Rick Allen.
