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.

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.

​@@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.

Absolutely! He is one of the best guitar solo writers in 80s. A great and genius player.

not in my house!

wish i coulda seen them in there primise good storie brother!

hell yeah!

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.

@@douglascasey3486 Do they have a deal? The other guitarist plays Jacksons which are owned by Fender.

You should listen more than looking with such instructional videos.

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!😎🤘

Real shame there’s no tab. At least Vinnie Vincent showed the very least a guitar tab for the infamous Metal Tech

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.

I know im asking the wrong place but does anybody know of a method to log back into an Instagram account? I was stupid lost the password. I would appreciate any help you can give me

@Cain Gianni instablaster =)

I wasn’t even around in the 80s.. I’m 16 but i would definitely go back to the 80s

Same here

@@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?

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.

For sure!!

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. I picked some vibrato techniques, "Split harmonics. Very effective little things, but not when you do them like that." :D And starting with an upstroke. The person I lived with kept saying he was the boy next door. I was like, "Will you stop ruining every musician I enjoy by telling me how attracted you are to them?" haha!

Subscribe for more Vivian 😁

Oh yeah. You had to have the base model Ferrari borrowed from the record exec for the video shoot.

@@RByrneactually he was paid very little salary with Dio, but he lived with his parents still and saved all his money which enabled him to purchase that car after years on the road. Judge not

Agreed I got to play on stage with him

@@80sRocker that's amazing! The way he plays and bends with harmonics and fast runs..perfect notes scales.. I need a teacher like this because my progress on guitar has slowed right down once I got goodish..thanks for sharing this.

Yes💯

RIP Ronnie Dio... His song Rainbow In The Dark was my favorite.

​@@luisforeal8676that guitar solo is one of my favourite

You've never seen Paul gilbert or Michael Angelo Batio videos yet?

He's actually pretty interesting and funny if you hear him in interviews nowadays. In this video he's a wet blanket though!

@@SuperLuckao agreed subscribe for more 💯

​@@80sRockerdone. I'd actually love it if Tony Martin.. ex black sabbath 80s vocals teamed up with vivien. Tony is waiting around for iommi to agree to a tour. He's going to wait forever and must not waste time as voice deteriorates with age. Viv and Tony Martin would be awesome. Viv founded a band with Lou Gramm called Shadow King and Thu were real good together as well. They only made 1 album because Mick Jones of foreigner made sure Atlantic records didn't promote shadow king. If u don't already know, there's a vid on you tube. Type shadow king, London theater and u will see him with Lou Gramm of foreigner. Viv is extremely versatile player.

The rack is amazing when u start getting that kinda gear

He has one he's selling it on reverb.com subscribe for more

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.

That's what makes it so naughty

I liked it

Remember the endorsements he had to Randall

@@80sRocker probably he learned from his mistakes ^^

He had no overhead/lived at home and saved and was making $400 after a bit. The Ferrari was the cheapest 308 available. Not a far stretch.

The best type of cheese 🧀

Money talks

ikr? 😂

A few gigs on your computer

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

That depends on your age and if you grew up playing guitar in the 80's or not. :)

@@jrg770 I'm from '92 lol I suspect they're high tier "pedals" of the day🤔

tone cookers

Are u sure? how do you know> i want one

@@gregbrown922 do u have one?

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.

its pretty badass huh?

@@80sRocker hell yeah! Any idea?

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.

@@BBOZ83 it was a steady paycheck that's why the other members stayed they didn't speak up also After the sacred heart tour they got tossed during the song writing sessions for lock up the wolves and I'm sure they got tossed because Wendy and Ronnie didn't want Vinnie and Jimmy asking for the same amount of money that Vivian was so he started with a completely new band add up the puzzle pieces it will make a lot of sense

@@80sRocker It wasn't Ronnie... it was his wife that did all the damage

Rich Walter Yoko Dio?

when you got the money you do what you want

!!! bingo

Neither Campbell nor Vanderberg. The trully composer of the entire " Whitesnake" album (Icluding guitar solos) was John Sykes!

@@marcoandresgonzalez8676 everyone knows that! and if they dont know after 30 years there stupid

@@80sRocker There are some! BELIEVE ME

@@marcoandresgonzalez8676 and Steve Vai destroy de Chemic of the band when he joined ...Vandenberg and Campbell not need him in WhiteSnake

Irish

​@@fatShowPonyYep. Belfast.

Shit 1985 id take any day over 2020 also this is 1987 but yeah Vivian is awesome!

Well 2021 is calling and Kramer has reissued the Night Swan (not a replica though), 80's polka dot graphics and all.

The 89s was so much better ,I know!
