Brian May is such a class act.
-
Brian May is one of the most magnificent human beings ever born. A genius in so many different fronts.
-
I guess I never realized how close knit Queen and Def Leppard were, and that warms my heart.
-
Rick Allens smile could literally heal the world. So much beauty in his heart that shines through his eyes when he smiles. I adore that man, and this band.
-
Watching Rick Allen's face while Brian spoke brought tears to my eyes. I don't think that man gets enough respect for doing the job he has done for all these years with ONE ARM. I love Brian's speech & they totally deserved this honor.
-
I'm not a very sentimental person, but to see Rick smile (almost in tears too) during Brian's induction speech I get all mushy and want to hug Rick myself!! I love Def Leppard!!! :)
-
The appreciation on Joe's eyes as Brian talks is just so heart warming
-
I don’t know what it is about Brian May but I could listen to him all day, regardless of topic
-
Probably theeee most heartfelt speech I've heard, what a guy. And what a band
-
🤣🤣 Brian May's not only a great musician, but he's a comedian. That shit was good. My dad got me listening to Def Leppard, and I'm always thankful for that. Congrats to them 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽💯💯 Next up, Priest! 🤘🏽🤘🏽

Def Leppard is a band of friends that are closer than brothers, through Steve's passing, Rick's Crash and amputation to Viv's cancer they have stayed steadfast and loyal to each other, that and their dedication to their craft cements their place as one of the greatest bands in music history.
-
7:37 Rick was very touched. that's nice.
-
Dr. Brian May.....right hand to FREDDIE....God almighty guitarist....undisputed LEGEND.
-
1991 was sad year for both bands-Def Leppard lost their guitarrist Steve Clark and Queen lost their frontman Freddie Mercury. Def Leppard performed in FM tribute concert in 1992 Wembley Stadium.
-
Love this band so much. I am so glad this band is still here. Rick Allen's tears streaming down his face, watching him hug everyone with his one arm, provoked a lot of good emotions in me. As much as I doubt my battles with healing from my traumas, from my alcoholism, I am a musician, through and through. Def Leppard brought that gift to me. No matter what happens in life, I always have these songs. This induction is long overdue and much appreciated.

Brian is such a great guy. I love how he shared his personal experiences with us.
-
I didn't realize how nervous Brian was until watching this all the way through. He made several mistakes which I'll wager were more from nerves than from not knowing the facts. It's cool to see genuine friendship in the world whether that be from rock & roll, or anywhere else. It's rather obvious that the boys from Sheffield has earned a lot of respect from their peers, and if that includes Brian May, well that's even more cool.
