A very underrated Def Leppard track.

[@DaveRoberts308]

M Pesce indeed. Am I the only one who thinks the second half of Hysteria was better than the first?

[@illyanation7745]

Otha Bojangles, YEP!!!!!!

[@thefastandthefurious1]

It’s always been my fav DL song

[@sjmunoz]

@@DaveRoberts308 i thing the whole hysteria album was awsome, except for "excitable" song, that was average. did you know hysteria album makes part of the best 10 rock albums of all time ? :)

[@DaveRoberts308]

sjmunoz yes, agreed. “Excitable” was my least favorite on the whole album. But all the other on the B side rock.

[@patrickfitzmichael5940]

This song is a masterpiece. The solo grabs by the short hairs.

[@robdempsey8866]

All these years later and it still stands strong. Fantastic guitar work. So beautiful.

[@donniepylant6385]

Best song on the album!a&r missed this gem!

[@kevinshobbyroom3932]

2012 ??? Why am I just seeing this today ?? Amazing Job ! WOW

[@stevenpennington6278]

You play it so effortless, amazing! You make Steve Clark proud.

[@joeljones3368]

It's a breath of fresh air to see a younger guy appreciate real music, one who doesn't just figure that Justin Beiber is the standard that "music should be nowadays." Way to shred that guitar my friend! Rock on!!!

[@odolkentang4922]

Clean guitar solo. Great, great job, Man! 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽

[@harvcht9876]

Does steve play the solo?

[@chrisbauer7999]

One of the most underrated Lep songs, was one of my favorites all along.

[@studlynesss]

The last song of Def Leppard's last great album... Classic, great cover dude.

[@shaunz1991]

Guitar bit on the last chrous is just brilliant

[@reynaldoescamilla6396]

killer job on those Def Leppard Songs

[@bwm5150]

Thanks Steven

[@mcain2911]

One of Def Leppard's most underrated songs that you just shredded! That was so awesome.

[@taz6601x2]

How is it possible to squeeze so many tasty licks and riffs into one song?!!

[@bucci777]

Very nice guitar work... very Steve Clark -!!!

[@jdub7499]

It's funny how many people love this song when it got no air play in the U.S but still in my top 10 Def Leppard songs. Once again great cover, It's great to know that I share the same great taste for Def Leppard as so many others.

[@bwm5150]

Great music is universal. :)

[@taz6601x2]

Was going to be released as the last single, but the album had been out forever and with all the singles already released from it the record company decided not to do it. Should have been released way earlier, would have been a hit for sure! It's just packed full of tasty riffs all the way through!!

[@tavrikgannon]

Actually, my local radio station did give it some limited air time back in the day. Came as a complete shock to me when I heard it on the radio. Wish it had more airtime. It was, and is, one of my favorite all-time Def Leppard songs.

[@section8usmc53]

That's why though. It didn't get beat to death like literally half of that album. One of my favorite albums, and I can only listen to many of those songs if I'm in the right mood. I loved this song the first time I heard it, and I only heard it when I played it. ❤

[@levine62]

Excellent job. Just stumbled across this. 'Steamin' Steve Clarks favourite song from this album.

[@MrSteven19671]

wow dude i stumbled on to you last night. im 46 and grew up on lep, even sported the elliot black curls for a while in the early 80's. i gotta tell you all the tunes sound awesome. saw the boys in jersey over the summer and they sounded great. keep the music alive man. keep rockin

[@illyanation7745]

MrSteven19671, we grew up with some of the BEST music that is known to man mate!

[@Descitizen127]

My favorite song from my favorite band ..... Amazing cover

[@Boudosaved]

+Alisson J. It was, apparently, Steve Clark's favorite song off the Hysteria album.

[@stevenwilde207]

One of my favorite Def Leppard tunes. Nicely done!

[@calebbartlett367]

As a fellow guitarist that loves to play Def Leppard I would cherish the opportunity to be able to jam with ya but I live in New Brunswick Canada :P

[@lorigibbs2379]

Steve stated many years ago.. he loved this song! I love it too

[@Defshep]

Never comment on anything here. But you are seriously nailing Phil and Steve's parts. Your vids are great. I wish they played this live.

[@raydoactive]

I just noticed you moved your pickup selector switch. Love this video!

[@bwm5150]

Depending on tones, I’ll go between the pickups to find a sound that’s best.

[@docguy89]

That outro.. Steve Clark would be proud 👏

[@JacQuie1776]

Nailing the Lep every time !!!!

[@jdub7499]

Does me proud as a Def Leppard fan!!

[@mettlus]

This album spoiled my 10th grade exams...it was 1989 December, picked up this album from my local cassette store...was hooked on to this album, kept on listening endlessly until March 1990 and scored really bad in exams...:( in March 1990 never listen songs while studying...

[@markjohnston6080]

My favorite song. You nailed it!

[@seymourkevo]

Love and Affection & Gods of War are my 2 favorite songs from the Hysteria album. And youre one hell of a guitarist.

[@lindamoore9734]

Huge DL fan..... you are amazing. Love and affection is my favorite song you just made it a million times better thank you

[@bwm5150]

Thanks! Pleased you think so.. :)

[@januddin8068]

Bloody brilliant

[@ronniepollock1104]

Absolutly Excellent I've listened to your whole hysteria album several times with great pleasure, Thanks again for your amazing videos from a snowy Alva Clackmannanshire.

[@perlacarolinasandovalsuazo9372]

This song is really beautiful. Love 💞 it!

[@stefanpluess5909]

Beautifully played man! Definitely my favorite Def Leppard track

[@sonoilluminati666]

Dude you rock!! finally someone who's playing rare tracks instead of the usual boring hits.

[@EmajDjinn-jf6le]

Definitely 1 of my favorite songs and you nailed it. I was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis at age 25. A total quadriplegic now at 64 I can still feel my fingers playing this song. Thank you so much!

[@bwm5150]

Very kind, thanks!

[@wereign9999]

I love this song. Perfect ending to Hysteria. Like the way the drums seem to be cranked up. The vocals reign. And it has all those weird melodic Def Lep chords!!! Whoa oh wow yeah!!! Supreme!!!

[@camvnyc]

For someone who loves this album....you do it an incredible justice. And that comes from a Yank that loves this british rock and rock music.

[@kennethmathis5570]

Def Leopard songs really go with the way life happens,

[@bwm5150]

They really do, like the time I stumbled into a big display of bottled sugar!

[@bomber2491]

My favourite song…EVER!!!!

[@kodiak64]

The main chorus riff is a bite like one of those layered ones in Hysteria...as in, very like it.

[@TheDonellMorgan]

Dude you play it exactly as it is on the song! Great Job. Im going to get a guitar now 😚

[@bwm5150]

Thanks Donell! Give it a go!!! :)

[@TheDonellMorgan]

I really want to learn. I know everything about a guitar. My dad would let use his black acoustic to learn on & I would practice as best I could by ear. After my dad passed away i dont know what happened to it, he put steel strings & an amp attachment on it. It was a great guitar.

[@superflea72]

one of my all-time favourite Def Leppard songs, and you did it justice man....excellent, thank you! :)

[@eduardoflores8255]

Steven Maynard Clark aproved! 🤘🏽

[@DharynSimmerX]

no joke i dreamt of steve clark in my frontyard the other day. he came in gracefully. such a lost :'(

[@martinhuber5100]

We all have to realize that there are so many virtuosos Guitar players out there! More than we can ever imagine! And you man are one of them!!! I was and be a real fan of Def Leppard and because of you I know why once more :-)

[@esotericist9]

Perfect! Your own personal touches were a nice addition to this masterpiece. Cheers!

[@calvinthomas1642]

Holy crap dude you NAILED that solo. Nice work!!! My favorite Leppard song. Cool to see all the fun guitar work in action!

[@calvinthomas1642]

I love the outro bends. They're like the hidden gem of the song lol

[@visitargentinanow1874]

This should have been a radio hit!!!

[@СтепанГрисько]

this song affects me as a medicine ... probably as a sedative and relaxing ..

[@christopherconway2185]

Great Track, that ending! Sensational stuff

[@topixfocus]

Learning these songs and have become glued to your covers. Another poster said it best when he said you have shown "respect" to these songs. Thanks for what you've done.

[@johnrambo6302]

One of my favorite Def Leppard tracks....

[@bwm5150]

Cheers John, watch out for the cops...

[@timfleenor3705]

Nailed it at the 2:36 mark.... That solo always gives me chills...

[@karlknox1348]

Fitting tribute to the riff master Steve Clark 👏👏

[@emilioantunespereira6599]

An excelent guitar solo player. He got the rock in his vains. Have showed me With this cover some nuances of this def leppard classic that I could never heard onde the original records. Congratulations man.

[@milor2000]

Ohhhhh that's great man

[@wereign9999]

Perfectly done!! Perfect ending track for Hysteria!! Mid tempo, heavy melodies/harmonies, and fades out leaving you wanting more!! Love this song.

[@wesw1130]

I watch your videos all the time. You’re extremely talented and I wish I could play the guitar on your level.

[@paulkane817]

Finally found it. My favourite. 🎶🎸🎶💖

[@patrickdeitrick3579]

I love music, cant play an instrument to save my life, I'm very impressed!

[@scpienaar]

Dude, I doubt those guys in Lep can even play like you. This is utterly satisfying to watch.

[@bwm5150]

Haha, you're very kind!

[@T.C.216]

You need to bring this one back to the top.

[@RottaKone]

old memories....awesome playing.... xxxtreme playing again dude,

[@beckybillarreal3343]

Amazing job 👏 You play so effortlessly! As if you were just going for a stroll alongside the beach ⛱️ in Hawaii. You are so incredibly talented!!

[@kokaneebear1]

Hi bud! Came across ur videos yesterday and all i can say is WOW! I have been a Def Lep fan since '81 and have recently started playing the guitar and am trying to learn Hysteria. This is my favorite album of all time and you my friend would have no problem standing with them on stage anytime! You have done this incredible band justice! Thanks for posting ur vids! Cheers

[@MariusTudose]

Great!!!!Words are not enough!You deserve to be on the same stage with them!Greetz from Romania!!!

[@bwm5150]

Many thanks from Scotland!

[@albertmontoya2953]

All of the covers this guy does are awsome.

[@martintuppurainen7059]

Perfect as all of your guitar covers!!! :)

[@jameschapman350]

Mate! I wish I could play guitar like you. Love these Def Leppard covers....keep 'em comin' +++++++

[@pyrosteria9864]

this song to me has always been the sister song to hysteria

[@naminnooman]

As always, amazing. You never fail to impress. This is the album which changed the way I listened to ROCK music and I still dig this 22 years later. I do not think its out dated at all. Mike Shipley should have been awarded for this record! And seeing you play it only authenticates that its just too hard to keep it aside. I love the sound of this record more than Adrenalize even though I love that album. And I love your sound. I have to buy that Palmer thing I guess!

[@ShadsPlays]

Perfect solo, man. First time I've ever heard anyone other than Phil nail it like you did. Respect.

[@1976oswald]

GREAT SONG and message

[@darkhorse21xx]

Superb guitar work!

[@rugdnit911]

Extremely underappreciated tune.

[@33rockergirl]

You are awesome! I am a huge Def Leppard fan and you have blown me away in every video so far. GREAT JOB!

[@garcia83viz]

Kickin ass on that Jackson! That solo starting at 2:38 holy shit dude ,perfect.

[@MrRacermike1967]

great talent, can`t get enough!!!

[@bwm5150]

Cheers mate!

[@hwd7]

I don't know how I got here, but I love your choice of songs and you play perfect!

[@MsPeachy51]

I love your rendition of this, my favorite Def Leppard song!!!! Thank you SO much...xxoo

[@jeffreyhusack2400]

Love it great job cool guitar 🎸⚡

[@osagedr]

Always a pleasure to watch a true master practice his craft. This version is better than the Def Leppard original IMO and vastly superior to other KZbin covers of the same song. Would love to see you do a cover of Givin' Yourself Away.

[@33rockergirl]

You are awesome! I am a long time Def Leppard fan and you rock my friend.

[@nanimartin7889]

what a beauty solo¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¿ congrats¡¡¡¡¡

[@looneyhd9246]

Oh hell yeah! I didn't know you did this one! How'd I miss this, lol. My third favorite Def Leppard song! DAMN! AWESOME!

[@zazuzonker]

Great job! And I love your guitar. The solar finish is beautiful.

[@axtohirejovisambora]

hey brother, how do you do that? I wish I would do that, it´s magic, wowwwwww

[@KnelsworthDinkDivision]

Beautiful

[@GregSpence]

So awesome man. Great song and great cover!

A total masterpiece.

[@highenuff89]

Absolutely killed it!

[@24theMoney]

I read L&A was going to be the 8th single to be released from Hysteria.

[@davidroper726]

How was this one not a hit?!!

[@valeriumorar668]

Bravo , Maestro ! Super !!!

[@jeffwangsgaard8542]

Wow!! I'm surprised I missed this one. Excellent work, Ben! As usual!! So good!

[@bwm5150]

It's quite an old video so that's understandable! :P

[@sargeek1975]

Was waiting for you to do this one.......best song on that album, and their BEST song ever recorded imho.........awesome job dude

[@germdisco]

The Love and Affection guitar solo (2:35 - 3:00) has been stuck in my head recently, and you've played it great here!

[@Bjoy74]

Spot on my mate. I'm an old school Leppard fan and you guitar work really shows your talent. Keep on rocking lad. :D
