00:00And another bass player, Rick Savage of Def Leppard.

00:05He turns 60 years old today.

00:08And an odd thing, he's got extra appendages.

00:10Wow, really?

00:11He's got three legs.

00:12He picked it.

00:15When this band was in their height, when Pyromania came out,

00:18I was a huge fan of Def Leppard.

00:21They were great.

00:22I went to that tour.

00:24I went to that concert.

00:25It was awesome.

00:26It was one of my first real rock shows that I went to.

00:30And they were driven by a robust MTV presence.

00:33Oh, my God, yes.

00:34I told you.

00:35I don't remember what year that came out.

00:37It had to have been 84, 85, something like that.

00:40No, it was before that.

00:41Was it?

00:42Yeah, it was like 82, I think.

00:44Okay, hang on.

00:45Pour some sugar on me on that one?

00:48No.

00:49Oh, wait, wait.

00:50Pyromania.

00:51I'm sorry.

00:5283 is when it came out.

00:53Okay.

00:54That is January of 83, and no, it was not on that album.

00:59And what was Pour Some Sugar?

01:01That was a gigantic album, and I can't remember the name of it.

01:03After the Gold Rush?

01:04Not High and Dry.

01:05What the hell was the...

01:06No, High and Dry was early.

01:08Hang on a second here.

01:09Hysteria.

01:10Hysteria.

01:11That's it.

01:12And that was 87.

01:13That was 87.

01:14Okay.

01:15Hysteria.

01:16He was at the pool.

01:17He came with his boom box, you know, a la Lloyd Dobler, blaring, pour some sugar on me,

01:23because he was trying to get pumped up.

01:25He was going to do a triple off of the high dive.

01:27Okay.

01:28And that was his motivational song?

01:29That was his motivation.

01:30Pour some sugar on me?

01:31It's like right out of a movie, right?

01:33Like, you know, basically like jean jacket and jean, you know, cut off jean shorts.

01:37Clear me a path, right?

01:38And he's blaring, pour some sugar on me, and he gets up onto the high dive.

01:45Today is the day.

01:46Today is the day.

01:47He had been working himself up for this for like an entire weekend, right?

01:50Are you ready to do it today?

01:52Oh, my God.

01:53Gandalf showed up.

01:54Oh, my God.

01:55When you're done pouring your sugar, I want to see the greatest dive of all time.

02:00Anyway, what happened?

02:04All right, so what happens is he gets up on the high dive, you know, blaring music.

02:09You and me, babe.

02:11Hey, hey.

02:12He got up.

02:14What did he do?

02:15He counted the three.

02:17He got off at the end of the board.

02:19He did one flip, two flips, two and a half flips, and then landed flat on his back.

02:25He splattered all over the place.

02:28I swear to God, he got up spitting blood because he hit smacks so hard.

02:33That was great, man.

02:35What a great memory.

02:36Rick Savage's birthday.

02:38Sometimes he just heads down that path and you have to let him go.

02:43Oh, my God.

02:44Sometimes in life, you need to let things happen of their own accord.

02:47We need to blush it out.

02:50We learned something about some dude we'll never meet.

02:53Yeah, he's Rick Savage's 60s.

02:56Thank you, Rick Savage.

02:57Thank you for that memory.

02:58Wherever you are.

03:00Damn, that's bad for that energy.

03:01That's your goblet of your car.

03:02While matching to the bar.

03:03Without »: In fair.

03:04If you want a songwriter to��면 just you have to show somebody I love to send you sick.

03:07If you want to send you a songwriter to marry me.
