    I honestly think that there is no one better than Vivian Campbell to fill the position that our dear Steve Clark left. Campbell has a unique talent, which made him be in tremendous rock bands such as: Dio, Thin Lizzy, Whitesnake, Last in Line, and others.
    Excellent job he did writing Work it Out and his voice on We Belong is beautiful and powerful. Excellent singer, songwriter and musician 🎸.
    DEF LEPPARD would never have been what it is today without Vivian Campbell. It’s a pleasure and an honor *Viv* that you are in the best rock band in the world: *DEF LEPPARD* . We love you and we wish you the best in this 2021. GOD BLESS YOU.

      Def Leppard wouldn't be what they are today without him? What!? Let's forget about the two diamond albums Pyromania and Hysteria I guess.... Steve Clark and Phil Colin ARE Def Leppard.

    What I love about Vivian's playing that i think is missing in a lot of today's solos is phrasing. Vivian is a master of constructing memorable parts and solos that will really catch your ears and stick in your head... the solo from Dio's The last in line has always been one of my all time favorites... I saw him live with whitesnake in the late 80's and was such a great show!!!

They came out with stage fright but pulled it together and rocked out. Van Halen, Ozzy, and Motley Crue blew them up more than a few times... Pour some sugar on that!!!

    Loved this! I am so grateful to Vivian for his role in Def Leppard. We the fans are so lucky that Leppard found/chose him, and that they all get along so well, for all of these years. Finding someone to fill that spot couldn't have been easy, Viv had to learn something new and kind of put his style/pride to the side to fit what was needed from him. I feel like he is the reason I, at 29 years old, have gotten to see my favorite band play live 5 times, all within the last ten years, so long after they started. And I am so grateful for every time I get to see them live, they sound incredible and put on such an amazing show to this day. Can't wait for the stadium tour, whenever it happens! Long live rock n roll, and long live Def Leppard!! 🤘

    Takes me back to 1992 when a new chap turned up on stage as the new guitar player in Def Leppard. We had no idea who he was but he came across as such a friendly and happy person. He still got that twinkle in his eye after so many years. Great guy!

    • @williambroadstreet3353
      @williambroadstreet3353 3 года назад

      As posted Viv was jammed from day one. The loss of the musical, lyrical and on stage persona rock star Steven Maynard "The Riffmaster" Clark was, remains incalculable. When he was using Charvels in the 90's you'd hear the Floyd sound but since he's reverted back to LP's Collen obviously has had to take some [he has taken imo too much] guitar parts due to the effects, which if you watch what is arguably Leppard's greatest concert at their peak in 1988, the 'In The Round, In Your Face Tour, Denver Colorado, 1988', which is on RUclips, you can clearly see Steve's rig, which by then was a magically put together guitar rig, his epic creme triple pick up LP Custom with Kahler, 2 black beauties, TBird + Kahler, 18 string Razor, one white with Kahler, and he has a triple pick up TB bright red. This concert is not only mind blowing - you clearly get to see the genius play up close. His amazingly deft use of his Kahler, and his Boss delay pedals. The sounds Steve pulled from these Gibsons was imo stunning.
      You just cannot replicate that today for obvious reasons. Vivian has a seriously kick arse vibrato. Like the one and only 'SpaceAce', who briefly flirted with a Floyd post KISS in 'Frehleys Comet', Ace said in interviews the tremolo made him into a sloppy player as he relied too much on the Floyd and his vibrato suffered. Vivian with no Floyd is imo the same. His 20+ years now of playing with a fixed bridge has only added to his vibrato. He is a delight to watch and like Ace and EVH [different category obviously] Viv wrings every bit he can out of his notes and also if you watch him closely you'll see he bleeds Steve's guitar parts. Personally, I reckon Steve would've been rapt Viv ended up replacing him. The fit, if still criminally underused - s still right in 2021.

    Fun video! A little clarification on the Rand guitars. There are 4 different Vivian Rands, and I think Vivian had a hard time recollecting this info during the interview:
    1. "Still of the Night Rand" featured in the video and now with a collector.
    2. "Is This Love" Rand which is also with the same collector. This one had one-humbucker.
    3. "Young Guitar Magazine" Rand which is the one you asked Vivian about and actually different than the one in the "Still of the Night" video. This one is supposedly at a Hard Rock Cafe in Costa Rica but not confirmed.
    4. Green Rand. This is the one Vivian mentions he has in storage.
    Sincerely, Crazy Rand guitar guy. I have videos on these guitars and plan on updating them soon.

    I love Vivian. He was always going to be smashed by the wankers out there when the genius in Steve passed. With respect to classical guitars the differences between the two are night and day. Steve was taught to play classical guitar and this would come into his guitar playing in latter years. Given Steve WAS the primary song writer of Leppard, and when 'Mutt' came along it was Mutt who mined the gold with his brilliance. But having that classical training gave Steve a distinctly special, or as Collen puts in "quirky, Steve was into quirky sounds, he could take something that was quirky and make it commercial". Vivian is a beast of a guitar player, and one of the nicest blokes I have ever seen i interviews. He still is honest and has no issue whatsoever in saying what is fact "90% of what we play Steve left us"...and "I still cannot play GoW". It for me and I suspect many others is extremely annoying that Phil has taken over so many of Steve's guitar parts. For example the intro and ride out solo-riffing to 'Photograph'. I have read Viv's somewhat pissed off, do not know if this is true, but if it is I agree with Viv 100%
    To see Vivian Campbell let loose, on his own steam is a delight, he is imo one of the great guitarists from the 80's. Dio and he both needed each other, and they created magic.
    Now that it seems he's beaten cancer I hope we get to see him again. Leppard are a unique hard rock band in terms of they and only a handful of other bands still use their own live vocals. In other words you get 100%% rock n roll. No lip lyncing, no Crue like kabuki. Just raw music.

    I grew up on Dio stuff, when Dio came out in 1983 that album blew me away guitar wise. Viv's playing was insane. Kudos to Jason's editing though, didn't keep us with the same view.

    The story about Vivian laying down the solo to Rainbow In The Dark is amazing. That is probably in the top 5 greatest heavy metal solos of all time, and to hear that it was a spontaneous effort makes it even more special.
