Def Leppard Armageddon It (w/correct solo) cover - Kenyon Denning

[@astro-blaster4190]

Good solo!! It’s one the most underrated solos imo. Fast, direct, and perfect for the song.

[@_Chipster]

This solo and bringing on the heartbeat made me pick up the guitar! In this case, less is much much more. There is absolutely nothing difficult about this solo until you hit that why don't i sound quite like Steve wall . . .

[@astro-blaster4190]

@@_Chipster I agree. And the tone and arrangement and style of play. Still my favorite Def Leppard solo

[@quarantineclips488]

That is one tasteful solo. Almost sounds like Steve overdubbed an acoustic/electric type of pickup on the fast, intricate part of it - or double-tracked it with both distorted and clean tones. clean and mean!

[@JS_1983]

I remember stealing this cassette from my sister and popping it in my walkman and instantly falling in love with Rock and roll. 33 years later and I still listen to them daily. These are some of the greatest most emotional and melodic riffs ever written.

[@brianknapp6215]

I stole my older brother's copy- used to listen to my Walkman on the bus riding to Away HS basketball games 'till the batteries ran dry...

[@falappisgarage_yt]

You and bwm5150 should get together and make some sort of a collab thing. One of you could play Steve/Vivan parts, and the other could play Pete/Phil parts. Maybe get a bassist and drummer on board. You guys have the most accurate Def Leppard covers available.

[@roberthudson5999]

Excellent idea! I'm also a fan of both musicians!!!

[@BAVAROTEENSENA]

¡¡¡BUENA IDEA!!!

[@french0610]

Mix between Statham and Woody Harrelson. No doubt he can play. Great covers. Love em.

[@RonnieDillJrLoveIsADarkPlace]

Lmao

[@krypton7676]

I was just thinking the same.

[@harrybalszak7526]

And the Sedin Twins ! Lmao

[@sts520mfr6]

Wow. Very nice

[@Rightpricedoorrepair]

Damn bro! Best cover I've seen of this Keep rocking!!!

[@justinflack5764]

I saw def leppard in August 8 2023 in Columbus Ohio football stadium 🏟 rock on 🤘 def leppard ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@hurricanejoe1971]

Man what I really dig about you, is you are the only one aside from myself,that I have seen play the Armageddon It solo correctly. All the tab books try to get you to do that open e string instead of the e note on the g string in the ninth fret, and that makes a big difference in the tonal sound. Outstanding brotha, Great job, Good tone too! Look foward to more videos from you!

[@louisronayne6036]

Viv plays it open e.

[@brynmorjames3642]

thanks for choosing to cover one of the great rock songs, and doing it so gloriously

[@dpflack1744]

Dude rock on 🤘 dude I love ❤️ all of the Def lepord songs dude rock on dude lol 😂

[@SweatLaserXP]

Love this performance, watched it a number of times. Steve Clark and Phil Collen guitar inter-play is so rich and well-executed that they rarely need power chords. Excellent example of musicians working together on composition. Kenyon you're the man now dog!!!

[@patrickhook4424]

Theres lots of power chords here. Sometimes people forget Def Leppard is just a more technical AC/DC with synths.

[@frankfossaceca9616]

God Damm You Just killed That Shit Dude.!! That Was So Fuckin Good Man !!!!

[@LetItRocK561]

i was having a crappy day and then I watched this again and now I can't stop smiling...thanks Kenyon!!!

[@a.wreccck]

You do not disappoint! Your playing is just next level and the energy throughout is addictive. I’ve seen your previous videos doing the same song and I must say it gives me great encouragement to keep playing, knowing your success here can be the outcome from much practice. Thank you Kenyon!⚡️So damn glad I found this gem, I’m going to be revisiting it often.

[@comsfan09]

I am addicted to watching you play, there is something about live music. Thanks for sharing man.

[@mastertemple8369]

Always spot on....

[@kellv3n]

Good to see your enjoying it

[@williambroadstreet3353]

You MUST have a tremolo on these songs as Steve used his Kahler just magically. If only "The Riffmaster" could have seen the impact he's had and continues to have on future generations. Amazing. Smiling while riffing to a classic Leppard song that "Steamin" mostly created.

[@_Chipster]

Yeah, playing the right notes in the right order doesn't mean you have played it correctly if you aren't using tremolo. kzbin.info/www/bejne/qmWQY5WVgbWajNk shows it

[@denhakketdrengfrasilkeborg1378]

BEST COVER I'VE EVER HEARD OF ANY SONG!!!

[@johngluck6938]

Awesome job!!! I love this song and one of Steve's best solos!!

[@gerryalabado180]

you are killing it on all of the DL stuff, great job, bro!!!!

[@JenniferMassey71477]

Found your covers during a Def Leppard search. You're doing an awesome job, thanks for sharing!

[@rogerramgoolam6939]

Great facial expressions and great job!

[@ConstantineBassCovers]

Awesome cover. Thanks for sharing with us.

[@pepp5150]

🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸

[@Lardassful]

good to see a guitar player smiling!! great playing!

[@B.T.R.-sj4if]

'The Riffmaster' loved this song - and it is one of the songs live where he used his Gibson Firebird - in interviews he said that his Firebird "gives that dirty heavy sound". The above is a really good example of the intricate way Steve put together his melodies, harmonies, bends, and pure riffing. Steve Brown from Trixter once said "Steve's guitar parts were created in small boxes - they were incredibly complex to play live". Indeed. The Denver Colorado gig imo remains 'the gig'.

[@toycollector10]

I'm flying across the Tasman Sea from New Zealand to see the boys in Melbourne in October. I'm a bit sick in that I'm hoping they get it down like Kenyon. Thanks mate!

[@msrv2293]

Tremendous job.. Well played.. Def Leppard will be proud........

[@cayenneman08]

Ive watched this sooo many times now! Great job!

[@toycollector10]

I came back to this a few times. You look like you are in the groove. I like it, I like it a lot. I'm subscrib'in!

[@richardburwell6111]

I love these videos! It must be a real kick to be good enough to play along with groups like Def Leppard...

[@kdenn71]

@206Bruce Thank you very much Bruce! I am having a lot of fun doing these videos and comments like yours are very much appreciated. A "good ear" can be a curse you know.

[@dinpuiapuia2285]

One of the best cover👍

[@vader8011]

Great playing! I really like the sound of a Les Paul for whatever the academic portion is worth.

[@57truckz]

Awesome job man,,,,,,,,,Fricken love it!

[@CRGRRR]

[@ShadsPlays]

[@jerryhack5192]

Solo...NAILED IT!!!!

[@2525October]

Wow, you shot this quite well. You've even mastered Steve Clark's greatest shining moment. Well done. Def Leppard for life!

[@StGeoRUSH619]

This might just be me, but thanks to your tuning and great playing, there are harmonics jumping out all over this video !!! You helped me hear this song in a whole new way... in a good way Kenyon !!! I think Steve is lovin' this cover. Well Done Kenyon.

[@ngdguitar5081]

Fantastic. Great playing and awesome tone. : )

[@thesullman]

[@mpoirier2323]

You make it look fun. I learned to play it watching you. it isn't that hard but very cool lick. How do these guitar gods come up with these great guitar licks?????

[@jimlorie]

Excellent...pretty much sums it up!!!!

[@kdenn71]

@comsfan09 Thanks!! I am happy you enjoy it. Been listening to DL myself for many years.

[@blakebrothers3984]

You are bad ass on the thing mate. Keep it up

[@pepp5150]

Bad ass!!! well done!!!!!!

[@paulcavigliano6388]

Well played sir!

[@jacobdiaz3342]

Amazing" who is this guy" this man has a good ear for guitar tone, I envy this man, I love DefLeppard and this is a good song to pay tribute to try he late Steve Clark, (DefLeppard's original guitar player) this song is all Steve Clark from Def Leppard" and this guy nailed the guitar parts, very talented" I wonder what other songs you can play?"

[@windyhillpatriot]

Duder, you're rockin' it out...THANKS!!

[@kathywilsondill336]

Lot of passion there. Good job

[@strypedbyhim]

Sounds awesome!! Great job!!

[@MyXeXMenu]

Best Cover i have heard

[@Rogue3269]

13 Polka band accordion players hate this video. ;) Awesome job, I know these are old videos but I love them all!

[@NoiseuxS]

Best def cover i've heard so far!!!! As a big fan I can tell....plus helps me through the notes i've hard time with hehe...thx a lot mate

[@therealscarred2112]

Very accurately played, great tone (as well as a great Lester to boot) and you can clearly see the love for the song on your face as you're playing! I'm primarily a Bassist/Chapman Stickist who fools around on guitar for songwriting purposes, jamming/learning songs I like, and the occasional "2nd Rhythm Guitar". I'm working on Def Leppard as they were the first band I "fell for" (got the back catalogue, purchased singles &, was my 3rd Live Show) and will be seeing them with my Better-Half in just under two weeks.)

[@_Chipster]

Did a very good job, most people can't cover up the lack of the tremolo bar. Nicely done sir.

[@Bigschwang]

This ones a killer man ! GREAT job :)

[@dbreina]

Love it

[@122cadet]

dead on with steves solo and sound.nice job:)

[@r.h.0101]

Still awesome.

[@ThePsychicSasquatch]

I love Steve's part. Sounds terrific.

[@andrewwhite1585]

That was awesome great job

[@SkoolyRatt]

This dude just straight kills the tone and sound, I believe you def. the Steve Clark parts... man you are def. a GREAT guitarist and just keep playin what you love!!! Stellar Performance man!!!

[@scottporter9617]

thank you!!! unbelievable

[@cliffthelightning]

@coltong400 Not yet , kahlers from the 80's are getting rare , my pickups are slighty different too , mine has covers on them , i'll try to pick up a kahler though i think i'll get it from an old HM strat cheers

[@SantiR9]

ON FIRE!!!! 2018

[@kdenn71]

@vader8011 Hey Vader thanks for the comment. I typically do not supply a verdict on any of these studies, instead leaving it up to the audience. As far as what I have determined, I may start a blog in order to get into that. Since I did Hysteria I have been thinking of focusing on some other type of music for a while. We'll see what that is... :-)

[@fidelmorfin]

Great job man! 😉🎸

[@surveyordave]

ha! you got the lick at 3:20 perfect! I have seen DL play this live and even they don't get it right, no without Steve.

[@lebki]

Vivian always play it by his own unique way, but this is far from oryginal Steve performance. This one done by Kenyon is nearly perfect :)

[@SRTMark]

Thank you for being a def leppard fan. By the way you are Steve in another body!!!

[@kdenn71]

@ThebigredViking Thank you very much!!

[@edmaori5601]

You knock it outta ball park dude..!!!

[@tonycerino6088]

cool stuff.

[@arturocastillo7634]

Excelente, te felicito.

[@kdenn71]

@BeardyAirways Thanks for the comments. Steve's setup was pretty cool. :-)

[@kdenn71]

@toycollector10 Thanks I am glad you like it. :-)

[@zem69666]

I love how you have the same edition of guitar as Steve Clark....

[@MegaGr8dude]

Dude, you rock big time

[@kdenn71]

@Bigschwang Thank you!!!

[@kdenn71]

@vader8011 I agree there. Always loved 'em

[@robertallen3133]

Great video ! You cracked me up :-) lol. Enjoyed it.

[@kdenn71]

@vader8011 Van Halen is a tough one. Interesting though. I will take a look and see if there is anything I could do technically.

[@kdenn71]

@Alexfunz Thanks!! The bulk of the song was not too long. The correct solo took several weeks to figure out then learn how to play.

[@johnsilvia3243]

This is cool.

[@pepp5150]

Frickin nice!!!!
