My brother: listen to Vietnam music
Me:

You cannot listen to this song without moving your head.

I consider myself very fortunate to have grown up during the 80's one of best musical periods in time! ROCK ON!!!

My favorite album

Back when first came out first mosher of the song feel in love with it still full volume 2020 love you Def Leppard

Bang, Bang 🔫

The lyrics are dark and the bass is ominous, but the main guitar riff is so triumphant and elated. It causes quite the odd misture of feelings every time I hear it that just keeps me coming back to this song.

126 people wouldn't know good music if their lives depended on it. How can you not love this song. Thank you for the edit.

Still stuck in 80's best decade

One of the most underrated songs by Def Leppard. What a gem!!!

My favorite def leopard album

love this song!

I like to hear def Leppard specially when Steve Clark was the lead guitarist.

I just kill her parents so she can have the house sleep with a man to help her pay the Bill's cause she cant low life tell josh stan wayne glen james tell bobby kurt steve ash cory all the people inthe world hell that 5year old boy on quit annoying me up the street I'll wash your face in I'll fuck a fat bitch watch your face turn red

Change her potpie diapers

I would love to get that bitch in a room alone all by my self punch her face in caves to one side they wont even beagle to know who she is but by DNA only if she lives I'd love it cripple for life then someone will half to take care of her for rest of her life

What the fuck is this you gonna tell me the bus flipped over steph planted all this talk news steph in my phone she ain't scared at all she stays away from me cause I'll punch her teeth down her throat laties

On the vinyl version by the label at the end of side 1 it said..."If your gonna be a bear" then at the end of side 2 it said..., "Be a grizzly"... pretty cool shit for the 80's...

i can still hear my hard working old man...son what the hell is a deaf leopard?

How do you get locked inside a room,without a door???

Still sounds great on 2 10 inch JL Audio 7s with 1000 continuous wattage running out lol frfr.....✌

Bringing back memories of my senior year in high school... cruising with my buds and looking for the local parties. Always will be a classic.

Great drumming from Rick Allen

Yeah I got a gun or two or three -

This was right after school in 83' cruising in my buddies 72 chevelle headed out to the lake with carloads of chicks following us!

Arguably their best album!! This and High N Dry. I thought they sold out when they released Hysteria.

Billy's got a gun, he's on the run
Confusion in his mind, the blind leads the blind
Yeah, Billy's got a gun, he's gonna shoot ya down
He's got evil in his eyes, got a reason to despise
There's danger in the air
Can you feel it in the air? (There's danger in the air)
Danger (such a strange emotion)
Can you feel it in the air?
Oh yeah
Oh he was locked inside a room without a door
His innocence he suffered for
In a world of black and white, they were wrong and he was right
Just looking for a clue, it's a nightmare come true
He's going underground to track that danger down
Oh Billy, and why you got that gun?
Can you feel it in the air? (There's danger in the air)
Danger (such a strange emotion)
Can you feel it in the air?
Never give him an even break
Gettin' caught is the chance you take
It could be your last mistake
(You could be so helpless)
As a bird with a broken wing
Like a sheep in a lion's den
Gonna fall but you won't know when
It's gonna get you
You hear footsteps in the night, see shadows on the wall
And the ghostly sound of silence, as the mist begins to fall
Then a scream rang out like thunder, but the lightning was too late
As the rain came down on the crimson ground
It was the hand of fate
And a crowd of people gathered 'round, but Billy couldn't wait
Can you feel it in the air? (There's danger in the air)
Danger (such a strange emotion)
Can you feel it in the air?
Never give him an even break
Gettin' caught is the chance you take
It could be your last mistake
As a bird with a broken wing
Like a sheep in a lion's den
Gonna fall but you won't know when

Sammy Hagar is 1 year younger than Bill Clinton

Still here! 2019 ❤️🤘🔥🎶

Me too!!

Def Leppard sure got that 80s sound down to a science! This is practically the blueprint for all 1980s rock bands to follow!

The best def leppard album with high'n'dry .

Had to have british flag t-shirt for Christmas that year.My parents bought One for me and my bf,plus jacket buttons,plus posters for each of us.We screamed and jumped up and down.I think that's the day their hearing went awry...

Sone geate times jaming out. And haveing fun with friends. Jaming to defleppard

Mutt really got them to almost surpass their abilities. "Better run!". One question, is this Pete or Phil?

Thats my boys

I really hope they fall back and stick to there rock and roll roots. it's where they belong.

wait. Billy has a gun, Janie's got a gun https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RqQn2ADZE1A AND the homecoming queen https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v8r7659kkFQ? How come NONE OF THIS BS MASS SHOOTING HAPPENED UNTIL CLINTON?

I listened to this cassette so many times on my Walkman that the tape stretched. Twice. I have purchased this recording multiple times. My mom was flabbergasted that I would fall asleep to this "heavy metal" album.

Could not survive without the likes of this band. Go class of '83🇨🇦👍

this song is exelent, but the final is bad!

The pumped up kicks of the 80s

crossover with Aerosmith? :D

59yrs old Pyromania my favorite rock album every song rocks

I always thought of this as Leppard's Kashmir

112 PEOPLE R Running FROM Billy!!!

one of the greatest songs ever

Yeah was at boarding school and a boy called clive lol.got me into def leppard and iron maiden so love leppard there so good

3 years old in fall of '83 listening to this in brothers room. Pyromania and this song always sent chills up my spine, still does. Little did I know then Def Leppard would forever be my go to for life.

The older I get, the more I realize just how brilliant this song is from composition, to production. A Masterpiece. Also a testament to the talent, and unique style of Steve Clark (RIP_

Billy's got an AR-180

This should have been billy Hargrove’s theme song rip billy

Now kids have Nicki Minaj and Arianna Grande. :(

Was 15 Y/O when the Album got Released. Love the Guitar Solo in the Middle

Rip Steve Clark

Intro reminds me one Led Zeppelin song - Kashmir😄
But I really love this song❤👅

Strange . .. This tune wasn't really all that popular in my apartment complex at 3am when I played it . . .

William had a firearm !!

Aweome album PYROMANIA

Fuckin love it

The very best of all...maybe Rock of Ages get a little closer...

US Navy, i defend.

I doubt that very much

i hardly even move with 30% power. 100% power can kill humans.

Good for you one punch man

hand to hand contact.

You’re a pussy

i have many guns. a lot of ammo. for defence. i burn up barelles practice shooting.

You sir, are a hermaphrodite. You have neither the strength of man, nor the gentle touch of a woman.

rock and roll hall of fame. music not killing, moron. i save people, humans. US Navy.

All kneel before the gods of rock and roll!

Billy's Got A Gum!

I don't know what that is at the end, but I love the hell out of it.

So damn awesome

Timeless

Pyromania. 1984. Synchronicity. Huge huge records

Pyromania was released in 1983. 90125 from Yes as well.

1984 was an album from van halen

Grade 10 pissed drunk and not a worry in the world except Rock n Roll birches! Def is best.

US NAVY. IVE SEEN IT. i kill it.

Many of us growing up in the 70s and 80s we're very lucky we had good music. unlike today's kids.

@Damjan Milojevic 😎🤙✌️

@Derick Arnold ✌️

Wanda Pyles that's because 80s music rules man

Yeah like me

I’m a millennial born in the 80s and I love 70s and 80s music. I’m grateful my parents showed me their food music. So sad some teenager trap listeners who were born 2001> don’t know who was Michael Jackson
