Belinda Carlisle - Heaven Is a Place on Earth (Leppardized Guitar Cover)

[@johnlacey155]

This man deserves a free Ferrari Testarossa for creating the most eighties-worthy guitar solo in years!!

[@bwm5150]

Haha, thanks!

[@johnlacey155]

@@bwm5150 It's a tasteful, melodic solo with space in it - perfect! As one friend of mine says, the art of the slow guitar solo has been lost. When they're done right, there's nothing better!

[@willk4862]

How about my red '87 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am GTA instead. Much cheaper to insure and maintain. It sort of looks like a Testarossa 😆

[@johnlacey155]

@@willk4862 Most definitely! Trans Ams are cool as they are, no need to look like a Testarossa..

Well done. Miss that guitar sound in today's music

[@TexasNova]

Steve so true man.

[@thelordofdarkness141]

The guitar sounds of the 80's were great, a personal favourite of mine Cindy lauper time after time the guitar in that is awesome nice clean sound

[@kalebpost20]

Keep the Leppardize series up!

[@bwm5150]

I guess I should! :)

[@robinstevens9189]

@@bwm5150 I agree with kalebpost20 - Leppardizing should be a more regular thing cause you are awesome at it!!

I'll see what I can do! :P

[@Havanacuba1985]

keropiboy that would be outta sight 🤟🏼🕶🤟🏼

[@ExplosionDestroyer]

80s pop perfection + Def Leppard = Heaven on earth (no pun intended). The Leppardized guitar cover series is in my personal opinion the greatest idea on KZbin. Hearing some of my favorite 80s pop songs with some Def Leppard guitar riffs, licks, and solos are so refreshing to hear. I absolutely love this cover. And it still sounds just as amazing as the first time I heard it. Probably one of my favorite covers on the channel.

[@bwm5150]

Very kind, thanks!

[@JeffWiersma]

The guitar tone is absolutely flawless perfection

[@chance_peterik]

Absolutely tremendous. Guitar solo was killer. Very Hysteria/ Adrenalize -esque. “Heaven Is A Place On Earth ft. Steve Clark”

[@bwm5150]

Very kind mate, cheers!

[@mintwestwood7827]

I'd say it sounds more like Phil than Steve

[@chance_peterik]

Leon Trotsky perhaps

[@000-z8n]

This is, just possibly, the greatest thing on the internet.

[@yoshitotamano]

Everything sounds better when Leppardized. I mean when YOU Leppardize It. I even like Belinda better in this version rather than the original. Fantastic job!

[@rockeruss555]

Leppardize??? 🤔

[@zycieto-iniejei-bajasubaru7499]

@@rockeruss555 Leppardized - in Def Leppard style.

[@mooseing22]

You totally got it. Leapradised to a higher plain! Remarkable

[@tangerinedream7211]

Belinda Carlisle songs just age so well, the eighties was fantastic ,I'd do it all again with a time machine, love this rendition.

[@craig3111]

Just wanted to say big thanks. Doing this song with a cover band and needed help finding bits to play. Video really helped.

[@bwm5150]

Ah that’s great! Glad to hear! Cheers Craig!

[@vanceshepherd1618]

The eighties, and into the early nineties... Probably the best era ever for power chord pop. So glad this was my teenage decade. You made a great song perfect. I wouldn't be afraid to be caught cranking this version in my car at the traffic light. Ha!

[@JimmyFoxhound]

Oh man I LOVE this! That song outro starting around 3:23 is soooo Def Leppard sounding! Awesome job!

[@gadomskimotors]

More Old pop Leppardized stuff Pls!!!! Fukin Great to listen

[@HCKNEOBOOM]

Man hearing you play this awesome 80's tunes is like a drug that makes me happier to be alive!

[@TheSundograin]

This version is better than the original 😜

[@ZacharyWhite25]

Sundograin yes. That solo is what makes it better.

[@Pravilnost]

Sundograin , because there is more guitar distorsion strong riffs

[@zycieto-iniejei-bajasubaru7499]

More "juicy"

[@yourface3154]

It's the same, lol.

[@simonng7888]

Agree wholeheartedly that this is a better version than the original. Nicely done!

[@dinosaur7736]

This is beautiful. Tone sounds incredible

[@CraftyXan]

Omg I was listening to this song the other day and I was like "y'know what would make this song 1000x better, a guitar solo" and you did it you gave this song an awesome guitar solo. ❤

[@bwm5150]

Ah you’re very kind, thank you!

[@ciceroiurisilva8426]

I from Brazil. The best version of guitar, fantastic! Congratulations!

[@americanpancakelive]

Holy shit dude, every color was perfect. love the lead work.

[@robourhero]

I think probably the best youtube cover I've ever heard. I actually prefer this to the original and that is saying something for this 80's fan.

[@sergioordonez232]

El guitarrista es de otro planeta , impresionante.

[@mooseing22]

Best cover/interactive version I've ever heard in my life!! Awesome what a gift!!

I've done quite a few and want to keep going with it. Be sure to check out the playlist of them.

[@KennyallenmusicYT]

Beautiful. Tasteful and not to shredding. Just right! One love

[@Imokyourok440]

I can’t believe I am just now discovering this. It’s so cool that you are playing songs from the 80’s that no one else is covering. So many cool guitar parts in 80’s music. Not just metal either. I would love to see you play some Richard Marx. “Shoulda known better” Also, Scandal!! Great band! “The warrior” “Beat of a heart” Great job man!

[@123456789mtgfan]

"Leppardized" now this is fuckin fantastic keep this shit up!!!

[@tonycampbell4982]

Somebody's having way to much fun haha great stuff!

[@jmn93065]

You, sir, are absolutely correct as to there being some really juicy guitar parts in the song. I never tired of this song, and I believe, now in retrospect, it's the guitar parts that keep me listening. As usual, you bring out the best, and you are a true craftsman. Rock on!

[@MrCarl5150]

Whaaaaaaat??? Lepardized and Charvelized! BA! 👍🔥

[@vittorio4109]

Well done! I think Charvel is the best guitar for the 80's songs!

[@bigmaxy07]

Great job. My friends and I were doing this after school in the 80's. It's how we all learned to play.

[@tigershoot]

Fantastic cover of a truly classic 80s song. Been a fan of BC since 1988 and always appreciated some of the great guitar work. "Should I Let You In?" (from the same album) has stunning guitar. It would have made for a great concert opener.

[@Alan1978M]

Just recently discovered this and can’t stop listening to it 🤟🏻
