Both Def Leppard and KISS accepted the challenge from Motley Crue and took part in the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge last night in Indianapolis, IN.

Following the performance by KISS, Joe and Paul Stanley both made short speeches before each band got into small paddling pools in front of their respective logos. Each band members tech then stood behind them on benches and poured the ice buckets over them.

Both bands donated $10,000 to the ALS fund, the same amount donated by Motley Crue.

Vivian took part despite his current health situation and was of course soaked by his tech Dave Wolff. This was probably helped by the fact it was quite a hot evening in Noblesville as mentioned by Paul.

As seen in video two the crew also took part in the backstage parking area before the show. They challenged crews from various other bands to take part.

Def Leppard/KISS - ALS Ice Bucket Challenge Speeches

Paul Stanley

"Hey Indy. Now that - that's where the show ends but you know everybody's talking about ALS. Some of you may not realise that ALS is a horrific, horrific disease what it does to people is just unbelievable. It's cruel, it's relentless. We have somebody out here tonight, who's gonna come out who has ALS. Want to make him feel welcome. Now we were challenged by Motley Crue. We were challenged with the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge and we said Hell Yeah!. So we said 10 thousand dollars of course are you kidding. Now this is gonna be fun but you can all make donations on your own. This is really a cool way to entertain you and make you aware of ALS but you can go home and you can pledge money yourselves. Now thankfully for us it's a hot night. We tried to get warm ice but they didn't have it. Now we have to do our nominating of other people within 24 hours. KISS is nominating Elton John, Rod Stewart and Deepak Chopra."

Joe Elliott

"Def Leppard are gonna match that with 10 thousand dollars and we are gonna nominate David Coverdale, U2 and Prince."
