Heavy Metal Sunday wants more cake

[gridlore]

Way too many birthdays this weekend. Today, for example, we have the amazing chaoswolf celebrating her 23rd! Hippo Birdies, kiddo!

So we here at HMS Command have been partying all weekend. Which requires party music, right?

Def Leppard is known mostly as a pop/rock band. What a lot of people forget is their roots are solidly in the NWOBHM movement of the late 70s and early eighties. Today, we proudly present Pour Some Sugar On Me. This video was the first one made after drummer Rick Allen's car crash in which he lost his left arm. Watching him play his custom kit (most of the work done by his left arm in the past he now does with his feet) is fun.

But wait, this party ain't over yet! Metal is not known for subtlety, but this video? It doesn't even try.

Joe Elliot giving Rick the nickname "The Thunder God"! Before they lost Steve. The orgy under the stage. :) Okay, that wasn't about the music...I love Leppard...have since Pyromania...since "Rock of Ages". Thanks for the great trip there, Sniper.

Def Leppard are good guys. Never seen them but they stood by their mate and that makes them ok in my book.
