Def Leppard - Love Bites + Extended Ending (GUITAR COVER)

  • A full cover of the classic ballad from Hysteria.
    I thought I'd do something different and add the little bit of improv at the end that they sometimes do live. I really like some of Viv's licks from the Don Valley show when they played this style of outro.
    I'm still searching for a decent clean sound. I'm struggling to find one that cuts through the mix without being too loud.
    I DO NOT OWN THIS SONG

    Absolutely. Vivian really introduced his talents to Leppard fans at that Don Valley show. That was he first show with them I believe. And I thought exactly what you do about he extra parts added and especially that ending to Love Bites. Awesome. I watched it over and over. it was amazing. I was already familiar with Vivian's style as I am a big Whitenake fan too. So I was impressed how his style fit into Def Leppard. Great guys too. I met them all in Vegas at the viva hysteria show. Whole Hysteria album played live in order. And i got VIP so they played a warmup show upstairs for us before the show. 6 songs and then we got to go meet them all. Good guys

    • @bwm5150
      @bwm5150  4 месяца назад

      Thanks! Viv's first show was the Freddie Mercury tribute concert. I have covered Now I'm Here from that show and I also covered Viv's solo from the Don Valley show also quite recently. This vid is very old so there would be a few things to improve on.

    I'm not a musician, just a forensic listener to DL music, and for me at least, the guitar work DL did in the studio for Love Bites appears to be technically difficult to replicate to a convincing degree, even going by their own live concerts. So well done for a superb effort; you could play stand-in should any of them fall ill during a tour.
