Rick Allen playing the drums with only one arm Tony Iommi playing guitar with the top of two fingers cut off Freddie singing on his death bed, "the show must go on" Three examples of rock/metal inspiration

I've been lucky enough to meet the band before and Rick has to be one of the nicest guys I've ever met!

This guy is a class act! I really like him; he has a good heart and even with one arm, plays a 'mean' drum! You go Rick! We love you!

Showing your injuries is the best way to say "I´m back. I´m beyond this." Hats off man.

If you've ever seen him play live - he just blows you away. The energy that comes from him is what keeps Def Leppard going

I admire his courage and determination. I admire that he overcame his limitations as well as his admited drug problems. I cherish his band mates for their support and loyalty. Two arms , One arm clearly the best drummer in rock history. Love you Rick!

He is the most amazing drummer! He is very cute and his grin makes you want to grin back! It is infectious. I think he is so cool and amazing as a person really.

I am inlove with this band, with those men. There are my inspiration. There are real friends, and they are together after all these years. Rick Allen is my rock god. Steve was on of the best guitarists.. he put every piece from his heart and soul into his work. I love you, Lepps. You always will be in my heart.

i give rick allen a lot of credit for not giveing up and for haveing his family sticking by him and not letting him give up on him self. it is so awesome to see rick still being able to play with the band and still being able to give the fans there moneys worth. he is a very good drummer, i hope that he continues doing what he loves to do. rock on rick keep going
