Iconic rock guitarist ever

[angelamccloskey]

One of my FAVORITE songs of all time!!! (And also favorite Me and my friends in college were known as the Def Leppard Girls at the local club we would attend, because everytime the DJ played this song, we jumped up on the stage or bar to dance. I thank your band for giving us those lovely memories!❤️

I remember I got to meet Phil after the concert in Knoxville, TN it was in October 2000 I'll never ever forget that. He let us on the bus and had small talk I had a busted arm back then he was asking me what happened.😂😂 Phil was a very nice gentleman. Both Ricks were in their buses and Vivian and Joe stayed outside. I was soo stunned by How tall Joe is.. he is a very tall guy maybe 6'2 or 6'3 I had a tan Jacket on and I really wanted an autograph and I didn't have anything so I had them sign my jacket. 😊 It was a great show. Joan Jett and the Blackhearts was with them. The airlines lost Joan Jett equipment. So Def Leppard was nice enough to loan them the equipment so they could perform. The best part of it all as the busses was leaving I stuck my hand up in the air and Phil waved back man that was just soo much awesome 😎👍. Best of show . This is real talent. There's none like them ever. I've seen plenty of bands, but these guys are definitely a class act.

You've made my life better, Phil. I love your guitar skills. You're one of the greatest in RnR history.

I saw this tour in December of ‘87 with Tesla as their opener. My first concert. Life changed forever 🤘

[jdmoncada]

Over the years, I've become a big Phil fan. He's all class.

[grandmasteryoda]

another story of Mutt Lange being an absolute beast of a manager and single handedly bringing about some of the best rock songs

[katd]

The anthem of the 80s. Absolutely love them 🤩

[alexlifeson]

Thanks for finally putting on a shirt, Phil

[comfortablynumb]

He kept up with Joe Satriani on tour. Badass.

[CarswithNash]

Such a great song! I always crank my radio a few notches when that song comes on!

[Kblmquist]

When my best friend would get in my car, she would grab my cassette tap holder and pretend she was closing her eyes to pick a “random” tape. It was always “Pour Some Sugar on Me”. I was always very organized with how I kept my music in the days of cassettes and then CD’s. But our weekends could not start until we were screaming that song in my car, including pointing at our heads and feet. 😂

Next month i invited her to watch me at a gig. (I started playing guitar a few years ago). I can’t wait, I’ve been practicing this song to dedicate to her. I’m also gonna wear ripped jeans and a Hysteria T-shirt.

I’m no Phil, but I’m trying my best, and I hope to see a huge smile on her face. She saved my life back then and I’ll never be able to repay her.
