This gig was awesome - Vivian Campbell is wasted in Def Leppard...... he has some of the tastiest guitar playing I have had the pleasure of seeing...... # m/
I disagree with him being wasted. His solos in Def Leppard songs are fantastic and he obviously has a groove he gets into with them. Not that I don't love him being heavier too he's just a great guitarist overall.
Hot Rodz Guitarz...I see your point on Viv in Leppard but you have to look at a range of factors that were relevant, applicable 'at the time he joined'. Vivian has been enormously respected within the industry for decades. He was doing his thing at the time but when the real talent of Def Leppard passed away, the genius whom was Steven Maynard 'The Riffmaster' Clark who's shoes NO ONE can EVER fill, the band needed a second co lead. They really looked for a long time to make sure they got it right. They knew Vivian personally, had for a long time. Yes, replacing 'Steamin' was NEVER going to be easy, like what the band who helped give Leppard a break in supporting acts AC/DC faced with Bon Scott. Replacing Bon was similar to Steve. Steve has, as Viv even notes as he is so so modest said "what we play 90 per cent Steve left us". Leppard are not a band to just chop and change. They have only ever made changes that have been forced unlike so many other bands, Rick was never going to be replaced as he wanted to stay and showed with tech changes and pure will he wanted to stay, and has. Pete Willis sadly was just too unworkably orientated, but he had massive success when they took off with Pyro, OTTN, HnD, he toured the US twice and Canada. Leppard wanted someone who was going to tick ALL their boxes and Viv has. He can play Collen off the stage, he has dropped down to play their style of music which apart from pre Pyro, all post Pyro work with the exceptions of GoW, TLFL, Foolin and a few others off the stunning 25 million plus Hysteria, the songs are not owing to heavyish riffing like Viv had with Dio.. Yes he us under used, yes since reverting back to a tremolo free LP Collen has taken over more as the set list had to change. It is what it is but he a for Gods sake having fun, has now for 20 pus years. Is settled, a multi millionaire, and is, has ALWAYS been treated with respect by Leppard. A real co owner of all tracks re recorded wile they had problems with the label that owned all their original material, since legally, contractually sorted. So now Vivian gets royalties for all new/re recorded Leppard records but not the releases up to Adrenalize. Not bad. Watch Viv play these Leppard songs. Watch him give it 110 per cent. Leppard are one of the few bands from the NWOBM that can still fill an arena, and despite this China Virus stuffing up everyone, this industry included, Viv has a great lifestyle. Has beaten cancer twice, married, kids, has a lovely mix in terms of being settled professionally, work/life balance, and can do his Dio Last In Line material live which he loves, albeit without a man I never ever heard of until I knew of Viv as I was not a Dio fan, that being the late Jimmy Bain. He is a professionally gifted muso. But also out of respect to the genius he has since joining taken over from.
I always thought that Craig Goldy was lackluster compared to Vivian Campbell, although I did like that song "Time to Burn" from Dio album "Intermission"
@@VintageDefectors69 Nailed it. Check out Love Bites Monterrey Mexico. His outro solo around the 4:50 mark is just unreal. He's still respectful of what Def Leppard created and stays true to the music.
Ronnie always had a mystic way of taking us away on a dangerous yet exciting journeys full of kings, queens, dragons and magic with his incredible and unmatchable lyrics. And just when you thought all was lost and gone he had an incredible knack for bringing us all together home safely once again. RIP RONNIE. And I am very impressed by metal legends in Last In Line🤘🎸
They played at a tiny venue! There was very few there that loved them! Over thirty fuckin years ! At least acknowledge your fans! Without luv were nothing. That's why ozzy is Father! And Ronnie loved and acknowledged small or thousand at a time! No hard feelings! U your used to a million faces! Lord Bless you all
Ok gotta sound off! You people who trash or make snide comments about VIV in Def Leppard. He plays “second fiddle” to no one. LISTEN to how Joe Elliot introduces VIV in “1992”. As CO LEAD guitar. Joe musically knows his shit better than any rock veteran out there. He sought out VIV for his talent and got him in his band. Leppard is a powerhouse both musically and spiritually they have Rick Allen a true survivor of a life changing injury - VIV - a cancer survivor - Phil who quit alcohol when we lost Steve- Sav has Bell’s palsy- and Joe who has occasional voice trouble with their heavy touring schedule. Lep has evolved but each member of that band belongs there and are stronger and better for it - they lift each other up - are best pals and are still filling arenas like no other band that started when they did. VIV has been part of the fabric of DL for almost 3 decades. Dio was awesome and so is WS but We all end up where we are supposed to be. I wish him great health and so think him and Phil Collen are awesome together- they compliment each other well. Rock on!!
That's why he does this side stuff. Lep made him a millionaire where w/ Dio and WS he wasn't. Lep pays the bills so he can go back out and do this type of stuff.
Gracias por tanto vivian mucha fuerza .tengo 50 años y ver que en el video hay gente de mi generacion es un orgullo lo bueno sigue siendo bueno por siempre.
Viv admits he cannot play the genius of Leppard Steve's guitar parts, no one can - but Viv plays Collen under the table. It has pissed me off ever since the legend 'The Riffmaster' passed and Viv came into the band that the structure of several songs has changed and Collen gets more time on lead. Viv looks here like a colt that's been let free to just run......mindblowing talent like Tracii Guns. They make THE most globally corporate hyped 'Slash' look like a second rater, which he is.
I’m proud this cover🙋🏽♀️Vinnie Appice always on drums, it’s wonderful, Vivian same reflexes on the level of the 👄 and physically handsome Man💕player 🎸, no problem, very great🙏Vivian + Vinny , greats friends🤣yesterday with RONNIE🤘. And today always, it’s ALRIGHT‼️
this isn't really a cover other than a different singer and bass player. Originally "Last in Line" was the original Dio band but bassist Bain passed away in 2016, so they got Phil to play bass who played for Ozzy back in the 80's for a little while.. But when a band gets a different singer is it still considered a "cover song"? Not sure.
It’s started as a reunion of the band that wrote and played on Holy Diver and The Last In Line w/ Dio Jimmy Bain passed away. Viv is on guitar. Thats Vinnie Appice on drums
Really glad to see viv back out shredding and not playing 2nd fiddle to Phil Collen in Blind Lep.Phil is a rhythm guitarist who wants to play lead .Viv is a natural lead player.
Phil's playing has never moved me. I find nothing about it to be appealing to listen to. I am a huge fan of Steve Clark's playing, but never cared for Phil's. It's sterile and uninspiring. To each their own.
@@TazTaylorBand It just seems like the best set up - especially since so many of us started playing with 4-piece kits with 1 rack and 1 floor tom - so it allows you to put the ride over the kick - which is the way Vinny played the whole time. Granted, he had 2 toms in front, but they were always on a stand rather than on the kick. One thing I have noticed as that working drummers usually carry way less, and since he probably doesn't have a designated drum roadie for this stuff - it's just easier to use a smaller kit... plus he went to the big kit at the request of Iommi. His first gig with Black Sabbath he used a kit about like this, and they were used to Bill Ward and the huge Double Bass kits he'd been using since about 1976.
Excellent and a lot of veteran metallers in the audience it seems who like myself have long opted for the shaved head look to stop the grey hairs and baldy bits from showing up.
Martyr!!! Qui chante? Les Fans ou vous?? Ça m’énerve, ceux qui veulent chanter « Ronnie »👎it’s just no possible!!! ROnNIE is the MASTER🤘yeh, it’s Alright💕
Dio was a great singer but a bloody mard arse spitting his dummy out lol he knew vivian made the band dio end off. Every album after vivian left was very lame and no tasty licks or riffs ! I respect vivian for leaving for whitesnake then def leppard, he wanted woman and money 😊 only people at dios gigs were men, one big sausage fest lol thats why dio hated vivian end of lol
@@stevenmiller1074 Not quite true. Vivian wasn't getting paid the way he should have, he and RJD didn't get along and Vivian wanted to get out and be around people in a band that he enjoyed being around. That's what he did. But I thought Dream Evil was a pretty solid album, still my top 3 fav. dio albums... Goldy did a good job.
Steven Miller I saw Dio about 1982 I think Antrim Forum Queensryche were back up I loved Ronnie his voice was powerful as was Geoff Tates I tend to go for the music so I’ll attend concerts because of my love for rock music and there were other women there too so it wasn’t a male dominated concert
vivain camble one of the very best of alltime guitarist
Who the fuck is Vivain Camble?
@@casinosnoopy9900 thats the bro of Vivian Gamble ;)
Viv. Is awesome..
Come on guys! I am sure his spelling is much better now.
vivian is fantastic
But never liked me Deff Lepard too much pop
Manu Torrjas Throw on “High-n-dry”...Push play
So great that Viv got this band together and is playing these songs again.
some seriously tasty drumming bits there
fuck oui!
Very Tasty. Nothing fancy just right on Point. Good Stuff!!!
Love vivian's guitar playing and whoever that is singing, that dude can sing!
Vivian has brilliant note selection. I'll take him over any of these robot pick sweepers
....Vinnie Appice on drums!!!!!!!!!!.....best drummer ever....
VINNIE APPICE and BOBBY RONDINELLI - 2 SUPER DRUMERS !!!.🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🇺🇦 .
ill take tommy aldridge..thank you very much..lol
Tommy can't touch Vinny regarding his unique feel and distinct style !
Lets not forget the late great Clive Burr...
I loved this back in 83 and still loving it as much 34 yrs later ! It’s like we are Immortal 🤘
Thanks for posting-this Viv your the man 👌
Viv and Vin = Excellence.

Lep. is paying Vivian the most he's ever made in his entire career, but I think that's why he does this side stuff, helps balance it all out.

That solo is worth the price of admission
Fucking vivian blew my mind with that solo damn still can play it like he still has some of that Dio era left
Great stuff! rip Ronny and Jimmy
Some badass singing by the crowd. Cool stuff. Singer & band are great & Viv's back killing it!!! Go see this band live!!!

I love the singer, I met a few nights ago when I opened for Last In Line at a venue in poughkeepsie. He's one of the nicest guys I've ever met!

Damn Vivian nailed that solo
The feel is different.....
I love that solo
Damn... what rock have I been under.. They’re awesome... Great Aura
Last In Line kickass. They do the old stuff brilliantly and I loved their own album. Thanks for the footage.

You still nail that solo Viv with all those awesome pinches too 😉❤️👌
Time to go dig outthe vinyl,,Rainbow in the Dark gettin a rippin🤘
Vivian Always the best guitar
Vivian is the master man awsome
Genios!
Always love Vivian and the singer is really good too but I would prefer he doesn’t keep putting his mic. In the crowd. Can’t wait to go see them!👍🏻
Another fantastic night at the Limelight
GREAAAAAAAAAT job guys, you sound AWESOME
Is that Vivian?
Lord Beeno yes he is
Lord Beeno yes it is
Is he still with Def Leppard too?
@@acw2237 Yes. this is side project that he does when not doing Lep stuff. Kinda like Phil Collen does Delta Deep and G-3 etc.

Absolute KickAss
Vivian rocks!!! 🤘
Vivian breaking out the black Les Paul again!
I love feeling 17 again!!
Great band
hell yeahhh start. Dio will be .... dont know..

i am alone without Ronnie James Dio Padavona
Love it! F##ken Love It!
Nice, Viv is one of one.
He's a baddass vocalists'''
Vinnie Appice and Vivian Campbell'''''
Вивиан мужчина, и супер музыкант 👍👍👍👍👍🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥👋💪💪💪💪💪💪💪
Where is the rest of Vinnie's drum kit? Good songs. Nice recording!
One rack and two floor seems to be the thing these days...maybe a Bonham thing?
He couldn’t fit it all on that tiny stage pal

I would be wasted''''''
and the Vivians' what a pair''''''
holy diver
We can find the original guitar sound for the all 3 dio album... Huhuhu
they should of done a Dairn Nair Dundt''.
와~ 진짜 잘친다. 라이브인데 삑사리 한번 안나네...
nice vivian's
when vivian cover vivian solo
Vivian seems happier and more natural doing real metal instead of the gay Def Leppard shit !
The guitarist sounds all most as good as the the one who created it,all most!the one who created it said he would never play those songs ever again.
Belfast live at Belfast 😶
Herdeiros do DIO
Vinnie Appice is very good!
Vivian máster
Martyr!!! Qui chante? Les Fans ou vous?? Ça m’énerve, ceux qui veulent chanter « Ronnie »👎it’s just no possible!!! ROnNIE is the MASTER🤘yeh, it’s Alright💕
I'd pay $300 cover charge''''
Well Jack Black on vocals Bruce Springsteen on guitar pretty weird👽
These same men standing in front of the stage, all used to have long hair..Funny..
the vocalist does not pull. hack.
What a shame. Instead of taking the reins as lead singer, he tosses it off to the audience. Sing or get off the mic......
It's for one verse. Calm the fuck down.
Always one dck has to put em down .... can u sing nob !!!!!
yeah, paul...i hate that shit too...
And this affects your life how.... douchenoodle!
Another phone recording...
Another pointless, unnecessary and factually incorrect comment. The recording is actually from a Panasonic HD camera. Thanks!
Without phone recording there would very little footage so shut the fuck up and stop moaning
