hey bro! First of all I congratulate you because in so many years watching covers of guitars, etc, I finally found a person who covers the same bands that I have always listened to, def leppard, van valen (Sammy), skid row, whitesnake, etc, I saw that you have some covers of whitesnake but not THE DEEPER THE LOVE when I was my favorite guitarist like Steve Vai, hopefully one day you can do it, it would be the best!

Hey my friend you remember me your the Master at what I consider when it comes to Def Leppard , anyways you were the cool guy that watched a couple of so of my guitar covers of DL on my KZbin channel , anyways ....... I was wondering like I always Simply Played Armageddon' it all by picking I was wondering are you half picking that main riff and using your finger also ?

[@bwm5150]

@@josephwilliams710 Hi Joseph! Yes, I use my fingers to pick the opening riff. I think Steve would do that live.

[@toddschechter6256]

Steve is just watching from above smiling at this epic performance!! 🤘

[@TearsPlays]

I bet steve would be blown away.....

[@whaguitars]

Great job Ben. R.I.P. Steve you are missed.

[@Knukls]

I'm just like you man. Can't get enough of Def Leppard. Steve would definitely be proud. Your covers of Steve's parts are inspirational and badass. Big fan of you and steve.

[@leeknouff3037]

Steve's solos were always unique sounding.

[@HomelessChedder]

Your commitment to Def Leppard's music over the years is commendable. Great job!

Wow this is so well done! Thanks so much for showing us how this live stuff is played!! :)

[@TheRetroManRandySavage]

Awesome as per...🤟

[@Railroader_]

The build from 3:55 to 4:10 is so badass ! One of my favorite parts of the song.

[@bwm5150]

One of mine too

[@jamieshaffer6493]

It is quite amazing, beautiful and bad ass all in one. And dude ive listened to every DL song youve covered and you should be heard all over the world! Do you do any original stuff?

[@deannalee3514]

Amazing cover! I've been watching the playlist and you do Steve justice with all your covers....I'm a huge Steve fan and since discovering your covers, I'm now a huge Ben fan!! Thanks so much for posting these...

[@wereign9999]

Favorite Def Leppard song. The 88 video made me pick up a guitar.

[@forddriver8827]

The 2014 version blew me away. I've always loved the guitar parts in this track. The Charvel really digs in.

[@MrCarl5150]

Whoa! Double shot of in the round! Love the intro and you KA on it! 🍻

[@aminahmed2220]

This is a fantastic guitar cover

[@Andyjefford]

Sounds great👏👏

[@JDevine687]

That outro rythm is just so tasty.

Ben when you laugh off air for two months and came back with Michael Jackson Dirty Diana🤩 these videos been on fire my king from Scotland 🤴🎸🎧 I have my notifications on cuz I don't want to miss nothing cheers great cover Ben 👍 your journey fan always🌹

[@13allisha]

Awesome man. I did the same thing with this album too back when it came out. Awesome

[@hurricanejoe1971]

Ps. Flawless performance as usual. 😆

[@JasonVoorhees1946_]

🔥🔥

[@jsowder19]

I see you're even using metal picks like the guys now too. Never noticed that before. Superb as always.

[@bwm5150]

I got one not long after I first started to play and now prefer it. I actually play very light and the pick glides over the strings I feel. Think Phil was using them in 83 and got Steve on them in 87 too.

[@jesterraj]

Loving the new guitar

[@peterwiniecki8025]

Awesome performance dude! I love this song and Steve Clark’s part in it What I like best is how you isolated the Clark features because I don’t have a musical talent in my skeleton and I’ve always thought guitar player were cool Great job and fun to watch Keep em coming!!

[@bwm5150]

Thanks! Be sure to check out the full playlist of my vids covering Steve parts at this show! :)

[@douglasyoung3541]

Love ur content bro! Especially when you do those covers of kinda' "one hit wonders!" Huge fan!!!

[@sgguitar]

One hit wonder? We're talking Def Leppard😉

[@elton28.20]

@@sgguitar he is clearly not referring to this very video in particular…

[@TearsPlays]

long live def leppard and rock and roll.

[@whatstpoint3867]

I would absolutely love to hear all of these as an isolated guitar track for both Steve and Phil part with no other instruments or vocals.

[@heyg7819]

Really notice the homage to Marc Bolan's Bang a Gong in this breakdown. Splendid as ever, love these! You should do the Nuclear Mix one of these days.

[@bwm5150]

Thanks, apparently those 'Bang A Gong' like chords in that rhythm was how Sav brought this song to the table.

[@TheWhiteLightning]

I find it interesting how they just left the original live intro in the dust during the Adrenalize tour. I think Viv tried playing it like this during the clubs, but did the whole building up thing right into the song pretty quick. Kind of sounds like a part in Excitable now that I'm talking about it? Idk, just what I've noticed 🤷‍♂️

[@bwm5150]

How quick were they to put the 'Black Betty' singalong bit in and was there any other songs they did there as well? I think it was maybe a chance to get Viv more involved with some crowd interaction building up on a well known song, as opposed to his solo spot.

[@reneewoolery3755]

I fell in love🤘🤘🤘🤘Your Phenonmenal 🔥 🔥 🔥!!!

[@harryturner4040]

Loving this series Ben, it’s really helping me with some of Steve’s parts I’m stuck on! Have you heard the song Rainbow Child by Dan Reed Network? I reckon it’d sound wicked through your setup! Rock on 🤘🏻

[@bwm5150]

Cheers, and thanks for the suggestion.

[@max85220]

Every day I listen to this song if I can for more than 20 years, brother, what technique and how exactly do you play the guitar in your videos like the original guitarists, I congratulate you

[@douglasyoung3541]

Just a thought. . .listen to "Heaven Only Knows" by Richard Marx, would LOVE to hear your cover interpretation of THAT one!

[@chaketzcruz1734]

👏🏼

[@Marshallstack23]

Two things….badass cover and where did you get your shirt???

[@bwm5150]

Thanks, I made it myself.

[@Jacksonkellyfreak]

Awesome brother! I have a request. Could you please do the version of love bites from the 1993 donington valley/Sheffield concert? I have never been able to figure out how to play that end solo that Viv does. Thanks. And if you don't want to I understand.

[@bwm5150]

Hopefully one day. My Rocket cover from that gig is still blocked so I don’t want to do that until I know it won’t get blocked.

[@Jacksonkellyfreak]

@@bwm5150 ah man that sucks. Sorry for the late reply. Never got a notification you replied. Hopefully you get it sorted out. And I remember the rocket cover years ago! I've used your videos to figure out how to play every Lep song I couldn't figure out on my own for years!

[@reneewoolery3755]

🤘🤘🔥🔥🔥💕

[@TearsPlays]

1:14 i have tried following your fingers and following tabs, neither sounded like what you and the band played. How do I play that part

[@bwm5150]

I don’t know what to suggest, my tabs strictly follow how I play these things.

[@Rose.Of.Hizaki]

Off topic - I would love to see your spin on 'Once in a life time' by Gary Moore.

[@matiassalinas7077]

Please, the Phil Collen's cover!!

[@bwm5150]

My cover from 2014 is a mix of Steve and Phil's parts. It's linked in the description.

[@hurricanejoe1971]

I've always wanted to ask you. Does Steve play the fast part of the solo different live than on the album? As much as I listen to the live performances it sounds different to me.

[@bwm5150]

Yeah he plays it different live.

[@hurricanejoe1971]

@@bwm5150 what does he do differently?. It's like he pulls off the first e note but it doesn't sound as clear as when he picks it on the album. Could be because the Firebirds Pick ups are way more passive than the Les Paul's?

[@bwm5150]

There’s links to notation in my stream last year where I go over the differences. kzbin.info/www/bejne/goTGZ5ueotd3iNE There’s also a Soundslice tab in my original cover ( kzbin.info/www/bejne/oqaqYqKsr6lrbZY) but not sure if that site is still formatted okay. I think he just varied it to make it easier and suit the tone. He alters the opening as well which is maybe to fill out the sound.

[@hurricanejoe1971]

@@bwm5150 great explanation. I get it now. Thank you. At high volume with distortion it would be hard to play that solo exact live and it sound clean. That's the best way to vary it. Thanks

[@gaiasgift]

If you don't mind my asking, what model Charvel are you playing?

[@bwm5150]

Charvel DK24

[@freedommakers101]

What kind of guitar is that and amp, pedal and effect?

[@bwm5150]

I list all that in the description, cheers

[@zapp3r504]

How do you get that tone. it sounds perfect
