Vivian was always my favorite guitar player. Seen him recently at a show here in CT. Felt like I was 15 again because I had front row at the rail. Lol. When I first saw him he was with Dio and I believe they played with Twisted Sister. All the boys use to hop in cars/or my friends father Ford van and cruise to New Haven Or Hartford to see the bands. Seen Ozzy and Metallica and Jake E Lee was great also. Prior seen Oz with Brad Gillis which is another great one. A lot of great guitarists came out in the late 70’s and early 80’s ... EVH was blowing up stages with Dave .. Teddy Nugent played real loud!! So glad I was able to see the greats when they first came out. Always a Richie Blackmore fan ...
@@richardayala3748Dio was the snob in that. More specifically, dios wife. But I've always been put off by Dios aloofness. I definitely believe vivs side of the story in that. Dio and wife were arrogant as anything.
I wish Viv would start playing with a Floyd again, he was one of only a handful of guitarists who really had a unique and creative way of using it, the Riverdogs album was the apex of Vivian's more fluid style as he is playing here. Come on Viv, you don't have to use a Les Paul ALL the time! :)
I settle for at least bringing some of the speed back... Gary Moore never completely abandoned his speed, he just made it so much more soulful. Viv seems like he's completely abandoned it.
Oh yeah, these 80’s instruction videos that show you everything you can do on a guitar without actually showing you how to do it. I spent hours and hours destroying blockbusters vhs tapes because you had to stop and rewind every 2 seconds to see what they’re doing.
Blockbuster VHS.😂👍 Imagine how many times the greats had to buy albums, wear them out and share tips with their buddies just to learn one song somewhat correctly while tuning constantly!😎🤘
If you can't figure out what he's doing, you're not at the skill level to be watching this yet. He's not doing anything so fast that you can't figure it out by ear.
@@bumpyroad3251 The problem with youtube . Listening at.75 or .5 is better Singing it helps too Old ways, but are there any different ways? I never sit and watch the news on tv. Never did. I listen on the radio. Same content.

@@arigreen5845 I was a teenager in the 80s and I certainly would go back! So many genres were bursting into life back then, and there was so much energy, fun and experimentation. Every since the 80s it has been mostly a derivative or a sideways step IMHO, e.g. just more technical, faster, heavier etc but not NEW. Some people like to knock the 80s and call it "cheesy" but they forget that every decade was and is the same in that regard. The 80s had both the brilliant and the awful, same as any other era. However the current era in 2023 seems devoid of any genuinely inspired innovation or songwriting craft. They musicians out there are approaching writing from a mechanical and technological mindset. Perhaps most genres have run their course, and its time for people to step up and invent new ones?
I remember when Vivian first appeared with Def Leppard at the Mercury Tribute at Wembley. Honestly, I think he's a better lead, but respect his dedication as a Rhythm player. Either way he's a formidable player and extremely underrated musician.
What are you talking about? There is not a lead guitarist in Def Leppard, there never was… If anything, Steve Clark was the lead guitarist… And that is who Vivian Campbell plays and replaced… They are a guitar harmonizing band and always were whether it was Steve Clark and Pete Willis or Steve Clark and PC or now Vivian Campbell and PC just like they are a vocal harmonizing band… as such, Vivian Campbell plays the solos on Lovebites, the outro to women which they don’t play very much, rocket is a dual solo, he plays the solo to wasted which they hardly ever play… Let it go at least one of them, Saturday night high and dry at least one of them, too late for love which they don’t play very much… Armageddon it, bringing on the heartbreak, switch 625 is a dual harmonizing guitar peace… Hysteria is a dual harmonizing solo… On the other hand PC plays the solos on the album for rock of ages, photograph, foolin, rock rock….Which means naturally that PC is going to play those solos live…
@@mikeystarr1203 Vivian can play circles around PC, he just fills SC's role...so yes PC gets more solos in this band. Pete Willis was a lead guitarist, not just a "Harmonizer". The leads on all those early albums are better than anything since his release.
@@whip689 it’s not a competition. Every guitarist the band has ever had was both lead and rhythm. There’s even interviews where Joe Elliott introduces Vivian Campbell as lead guitarist… And then Co lead guitarist… PC plays the solos the PC played on the albums… Vivian Campbell plays the solos that Steve Clark played on the albums… They split the solos from Pete Willis… When they play live, they play most of their hits… Coincidentally most of their kids have PC playing the solos on the album recordings… So PC He’s going to play PC solos live… Vivian Campbell is going to play Steve Clark solos live… PC is not THE Lead guitarist… Vivian Campbell is not THE Rhythm guitarist… They actually play about the same percentage of solos live… It’s just a PC takes center stage shirtless in the spotlight for his solos thinking he’s some kind of virtual so… Vivian Campbell plays his solos in his corner of the stage perhaps because it’s too easy for him… Or perhaps because he had a hip replacement years ago… Or perhaps because he’s battling cancer for the last 10 years… Vivian is also a better singer, Steve Clark didn’t do much singing… Vivian Campbell always wanted to sing in the first place, and now he gets to do that… So he actually strengthened the bands vocal harmonies…That’s one of the reasons they hired Vivian Campbell because he’s a good singer… then you also have to realize that Joe Elliott and Rick savage decided many years ago did they did not want to be a hard rock band but more of a pop band… And by the time Vivian Campbell joined, the whole guitar hero thing was over with and outdated… But during the first two years of Vivian Campbell with Def Leppard 1992 in 1993, they each played about a 10 minute guitar solo in between songs…Now, neither one of them has their own solo spotlight in between songs… They are both co lead and Co rhythm guitar players in this band… And that’s the way Def Leppard has always been
@@mikeystarr1203 Steve had a thicker Scottish accent...Viv is a smoother Irish singer and Phil has a nice London vibe.😉 I agree, Not a competition and we're both observant fans of their total work. Cheers!🤘
@@whip689 Yeah, no. Collen has shared the stage with the likes of Satriani and Petrucci on G3 and held his own. Campbell is great, no doubt. But let's not get carried away. Both are fine players.
80's was the best. If I compare with Marcin, Itchika Nito, Poliphya from these days, I can't stop regret 80's days have ends. The real rock ends in 1990.
Yeah! Me too man. Star licks or Hot licks. I forget which one. He was playing a blue B.C. Rich. I believe he was in Dio at that time. Before Whitesnake. I made huge gains in alternate picking and a strong pinky amongst other techniques thx to Viv. 💪🏼😎
@@vintagev8muscle721 The blue BC rich strat. Yeah that was kind of a weird lesson. The guitar had no fretboard markers, which I thought was very unsporting haha.

A a few in the past. The most unplayable neck ever but still the favourite from back then and I l will pick up the new 2020 Kramer Nightswan batch with a wider R2 nut and bolt lightning artwork when/if it comes out.
What a rack! I liked his tone best off the first Dio album when he was just playing a JCM800 with a Boss distortion pedal (orange one - DS1?) It's funny how now you can get an Ampero ii Stomp for $499 and get all these tones (although you will need an amp) :) just my 2c
He is so modest even when he dresses up. No showing off from this super nice snd talented guy. Glad he is with the brotherhood of leppard .tbose guys r decent

I had a Kramer night swan , the one with a lightning storm on it but honestly didn’t like it compared to the custom Jacksons and charvel I had at the time .
ive got one question here. when he was in dios band he didnt get any money from album sales and got paid 100$ a week. how could he afford a fkn ferrari? i guess coverdale didnt pay him millions either
Yes he does. This was but a brief stint in the late mid 80s… He is primarily a Les Paul player and picks pretty much everything… He never did the chopping like Eddie Van Halen he is largely staccato… He was only Legato for about five years
Yeah, the entire rack with a Line 6 Helix, or a Quad Cortex. Plus, to my ears and fingers these two processors sound really amazing compared to the equipment in the 80s. I don't mean the 80's equipment sound bad. I'm just saying I really enjoy this two processors above a load of equipment.
Saying he was promised album sales and royalties in Dio by the Sacred Heart album and was only getting paid by touring never getting what he deserved and Dio supposedly never lived up to that promise yet he's driving a Ferrari in Malibu getting no royalties in Whitesanke only being a touring artist LMFAO!!!
Dio was the main revenue don't forget about endorsements in the fact that he was a celebrity people give him stuff for free Ronnie screw that entire band over
@@80sRocker Well Vivian was acting like he wasn't making anything and obviously wanted more and can kinda see where he was coming from being the majority song writer but the other members stayed in band after being made the same "verbal promise" so there had to be an ego thing going on also.

The VIVIAN CAMPBELL ERA OF DIO WAS THE BEST OF
DIO! NOTHING CAN OR COULD TOP VC. HIS GUITAR PLAYING IS UNMATCHED IN METAL
Love Vivians Style. A fan since the Dio days.!👍
Same here!! When I first heard Dio’s first album with Vinny A and Jimmy B ... it was played constantly every day until it worn out. Lol.
I love his style of playing... especially that vibrato.
What a great guitar sound!!!
Vivian was always my favorite guitar player. Seen him recently at a show here in CT. Felt like I was 15 again because I had front row at the rail. Lol. When I first saw him he was with Dio and I believe they played with Twisted Sister. All the boys use to hop in cars/or my friends father Ford van and cruise to New Haven Or Hartford to see the bands. Seen Ozzy and Metallica and Jake E Lee was great also. Prior seen Oz with Brad Gillis which is another great one. A lot of great guitarists came out in the late 70’s and early 80’s ... EVH was blowing up stages with Dave .. Teddy Nugent played real loud!! So glad I was able to see the greats when they first came out. Always a Richie Blackmore fan ...
wish i coulda seen them in there primise good storie brother!
Vivian is underrated!
Absolutely! He is one of the best guitar solo writers in 80s. A great and genius player.
not in my house!
Viv is also one of the nicest and coolest guys I’ve met. Real genuine , not a stuck up snob like some other famous guitar players
vandenberg is a total piece of shit he was worried about viv upstaging him in whitesnake because went for it every night!
I heard different from the early dio days.

Floyd or Kahler Les Paul, I wish he would start using Floyds again too.
I settle for at least bringing some of the speed back... Gary Moore never completely abandoned his speed, he just made it so much more soulful. Viv seems like he's completely abandoned it.
I think it's got something to do with the deal Gibson has with Def Leppard.
