Leppardized makes everything better...👍🎧🎸

[@dwightcorbett8889]

Absolutely.

[@benjimartinnc]

Agreed!

[@RJReda]

This is legit my new favorite guitar/music channel 🎸 🎶 🤘

[@rileyjones3703]

Goddamn right🤘😎🎸🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥.

[@chance_peterik]

Had this guy been around doing stuff like this in ‘87 I have no doubt that he would have been recognized for his ability to not only play, but come up with his own licks and renditions to these songs. He would have been recruited by Mutt Lange or someone from Mercury Records, Artista, Columbia, or Sony to help write some of the music for these bands and have helped arrange and even perform on songs. You have a gift, sir.

[@bwm5150]

Very very kind of you to say Chance! Thanks! :)

[@noahcasimirtiefenberg1581]

Oh I could not agree more... He doesn't play the guitar... He goes into symbiosis with it. Hence the soul in his sound

[@owenchapman971]

absolutely true! this guy does everything I love about rock guitar. I'm still hoping he does a tutorial for "Pamela" by Toto .... PLEASE 😄

[@richardfisher8460]

Not hate, as I do a similar thing, take an 80s or catchy song without guitar, and play along with my own embellishments. But without the songs/players existing in the first place, influencing my style I would be unable to do so. I am not currently doing anything that in years to come people will be referencing. That said he plays well in a style that I can appreciate. If I existed in the 80s I would probably be playing along with 60s songs with my own embellishments.. If you catch my drift.

[@drummingdanny84]

I feel like we're in '87-'88 right now every time this dude plays. I would love for him to be in my band...if I had one. 🤘🏾🎸

[@timojurvelin]

This song is the pinnacle of humanity. ❤️

[@garyhamilton7111]

I bet I'm not the only one pulling their "guitar Face" when the sax solo kicks in, go on look at yourself you know your doing it!!!! :) Brilliant love it

[@JamieLynnMorris]

I'm an 80's girl who already liked this song... but now I LOVE it. Rock On with Your Baaad Self!!! ★★★★★

[@twist2723]

This is the most glorious thing I’ve heard all week

[@lsmsp2009]

This is one of my favorite songs ever. Never get tired of it. Just makes you smile.

[@TheWoodlandGardener]

Agreed! Love it :)

[@davidpetty2315]

Amazing song agreed..

[@towjam2359]

Tasteful without being overpowering - really added to the arrangement. VERY nicely done!

[@JacQuie1776]

I ❤️ this cover. Listening while I'm waiting for a star to fall.

[@samuski36]

Never heard anyone else mimic the horns section with a guitar, Absolutely Fantastic job! :D

[@AroundSun]

Wow changes the song completely

I wish I could give a million likes. Man what a beautiful version you made!! I could spend hours listening !! You sent it very well!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@firestrike9917]

I totally air guitared this and if you didn't you're a bunch of liars. This Rocked!!!

[@tmb8807]

This is great. I love the idea of recreating stuff like this with more rock-oriented instrumentation while maintaining as much of the original vibe as possible. Everything you played was dynamically perfect.

[@DrewPac5877]

Brilliant man. These Leppardized covers are so clever. You’re a hell of a guitar player dude. Really.

[@robourhero]

Can't decide if this or Heaven is a Place on Earth is my fav Leppardized cover. This is so well done!

[@tigershoot]

It's close - both are fantastic covers with beautifully orchestrated guitar bits added. The part from 0130 in the Heaven cover is just genius. Such a pity that this guy wasn't on some of these original records!

[@ricardotijerina886]

u r the Ultimate 80's song cover Guitarrist.

[@knglerxst]

This is awesome dude. Love this song. You're picking some great songs to Leppardize. I really like how you interpreted the sax solo.

[@jvidalw]

this is a really good pop song from back in the 80s and you did an amazing job "leppardizing" it! good job, man!

[@mattdawg83686]

When I got the alert for this, I was like: Wait, WHAT? How?! This is spot on, and I can dig it!

[@JacQuie1776]

One of my favs leppardized. Love it !!!!!!

[@down4life78]

I've ALWAYS loved this song, thank you so much for this cover! Awesomely done! See, this is EXACTLY WHY I'm a fan of yours. . .

[@mowieboy]

Another hidden gem. This whole album has a ton of great underlying guitar. One of the few albums I can honestly say every song is damn good. I like your take on it too. 🤙🏼

[@tigershoot]

Restless Dreamer played loud - what a great song on that album

[@davidthompson3136]

Dropped in to enjoy this again! It is like putting on a well fitted suit ...... it just feels so damned good! Really nice job on this classic track. 👍😎🎸🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 🇳🇿🍺🍺

[@nightwish6388]

We must have been brothers in another life. Your taste in music 🎶 is awesome and your playing is at another level! Thank you for sharing your talents.

[@CharliesMaidenCovers]

absolutely fantastically nailed the solo dude, i think im gonna learn it too just for fun

[@johntsiperau3131]

One of the most beautiful songs ever. Thank God for the 80s when life was just awesome ❤😊

[@malthus101]

Damn right.

[@Aelmal]

Man that version brought a big smile to my face! Awesome.

[@EphemeralProductions]

Indeed! Me too dear sir! :)

[@dougwebster1813]

Just beautiful! Sooo tasteful! The joy of this song is just infectious!

[@dwightcorbett8889]

I really like what you've done to it, bringing a rock edge into the song.

[@vanceshepherd1618]

Hat's off, man! Always liked the song, because I love melodic stuff. You have given this one teeth, though! Cheers!

[@brianwood699]

I think Steve, Phil and Vinnie would be proud of your cover. Also, I love the quick shred @ 3:35.

[@ToMaxMartins]

The 80's at its best here. This one is tagged "most played" on my playlist for sure. And it's such a "bread 'n' butter" pop song, and I love it :) I never gave much credit to the guitars on this one but this leppardized cover of yours changed the whole thing and now I wanna give it a try on my guitar :) Congrats! Inspiring channel!

[@bwm5150]

Very kind, thank you!

[@chrisronin4421]

Dude I swear, you nail every song you do, love watching your playing, you’re a true inspiration!!! Keep it up!!

[@andyturner6921]

Keep rewatching your videos. Such great versions of brilliant songs. Top talent 👍

[@karamellkungend2444]

This is one of my absolute favorite cover on KZbin 🤘

[@bwm5150]

John deere boi pleases you think so!

[@jeffwangsgaard8542]

Nice!! Well done “Leppardizing” it! I’d forgotten all about this song until right now. Big radio hit. Keep up the great work!

[@user-jv7ii8wx4q]

Here in Athenry Galway Ireland loving this....gonna replicate this ...🤟🤟 love it

[@dyeph104]

How can anyone dislike this cover? Heart melting cover... ☺️

[@denisemay6807]

Sounds great! I always loved that song!

[@ExplosionDestroyer]

This song to me like Heaven Is A Place On Earth is 80s pop perfection and your cover is another one of my favorites off the channel. The guitar riffs are so tasteful and the solo is superb. especially the little guitar lick you added to the end of it. Overall, this cover is perfection as well. I wouldn’t change a note of it.

[@AliyaTebawi]

Awesome. Those Leppard riffs are kick ass!

[@gisellem.sugranes8952]

Love the way you played the sax solos in your guitar! Felt it in my heart! ❤

[@williammeek7218]

You must have a old soul, that’s the only explanation.. I never heard this until I saw your video. Rock on Ben.

[@bwm5150]

This song used to be on tv a lot for typical 80s compilation adverts or channels. Always loved it.

[@Bridging_the_Political_Divide]

You are a very talented dude. The way I see you create guitar content for piano parts is impressive. You're a serious talent man...

[@zlinedavid]

A) This song rocks with the guitar. Well done. B) Never thought of it until now, but would love to see what a guitarist and a rock saxophonist like Big Man Clemons could have done as a duet. That could tear roofs off.

[@tigershoot]

Such a timeless classic written by two very talented writers. Another great piece of guitarwork - keep them coming! Thanks.

[@davidthompson3136]

Another listening to this video, another smile! You have a great gift, Ben; must be very proud to watch these clips back. Cheers. Hope ‘22 is safe and great! 👍😎🇳🇿🍺🍺✨✨✨🎸

[@UTarcher72]

Nicely done and I approve the Leppardizing of all music! Approved!

[@dwojcik1000]

Cripes, that's how I always pictured playing that song in my head. Awesome job.

[@yoshitotamano]

A man, a guitar and talent. A pile of talent. That's what you need to turn a good but a little bit soulless song into masterpiece. Your touch elevates It rocket high to the level of classics like Hysteria (your version) and Stand Up (your version) Thanks again for providing the world with tour talent and letting us listen your music.

[@bwm5150]

Very kind, thank you! A lot of what I do can only be enabled by great songs such us this which have the right instrumentation, harmony and production that allow me to add little embellishes here and there.

[@znelson32]

I love everything about this!

[@sunshinecoolwater3960]

Love this! Ben, can you "Leppardize" more songs. Would like to see your take on so many songs that I can't list them all. Love your channel!

[@lsmsp2009]

This is just awesome man! I can’t stop listening to it.

[@seanmurphy.]

Possibly the best channel on KZbin.

[@bwm5150]

Very kind Sean, thanks!

[@charlesbeck2093]

Really amazing! You are so talented. I really enjoy listening to you play.

[@St3rmTig3r]

Nobody wouId remember this gem, but you. The Ieppard sound fits Iike a gIove.

[@Alan1978M]

One of my 80s songs!

[@pauldavison2012]

Ben, yet another great rendition of another Mega song, I agree totally that Leppardising every song just makes it better, especially with your talented riffs.I am still trying like mad with my GT10 to get your lovely tone, I am 63 now, and hope to get there before I drop in to the big box, where I have asked to be buried with my MP3 Player with all my favourite tracks on it, with spare batteries, just in case I get back !!!!

[@eaglechildkeys]

Excellent! One of my favourite bands too! Thanks for share man! :)

[@nothing1more487]

This puts a smile to my face

[@renc2002]

I hear your name whispered on the wind It's a sound that makes me cry I hear a song blow again and again Through my mind and I don't know why I wish I didn't feel so strong about you Like happiness and love revolve around you Trying to catch your heart Is like trying to catch a star So many people love you, baby That must be what you are [Pre-Chorus] Waiting for a star to fall And carry your heart into my arms That's where you belong In my arms Baby, yeah Waiting for a star to fall And carry your heart into my arms That's where you belong In my arms Baby, yeah [Verse 2] I've learn to feel what I cannot see But with you, I lose that vision I don't know how to dream your dream So I'm all caught up in the superstition I want to reach out and pull you to me Who says I should let a wild one go free [Pre-Chorus] Trying to catch your heart Is like trying to catch a star But I can't love you this much, baby And love you from this far [Chorus] Waiting for a star to fall And carry your heart into my arms That's where you belong In my arms Baby, yeah Waiting for a star to fall And carry your heart into my arms That's where you belong In my arms Baby, yeah [Bridge] Waiting (however long) I don't like waiting (I'll wait for you) It's so hard waiting (Don't be too long) Seems like waiting Makes me love you even more [Chorus] Waiting for a star to fall And carry your heart into my arms That's where you belong In my arms Baby, yeah Waiting for a star to fall And carry your heart into my arms That's where you belong In my arms Baby, yeah

So much to love about this. The fact that you have “Leppardized” one of my favourite 80’s songs, you obviously love Def Leppard, one of the greatest bands of all time. 5150, my favourite album of all time (also my car number plates 🤣) And I’ve only just found your channel!
