Def Leppard - Love Bites (Live)

Love bites

[@ignaciocolin5898]

There is not a better version of this song anywhere! It is a masterpiece!

[@Change-Dragon]

Há sim. Robertinho de Recife mudou essa música com o solo de guitarra dele.

[@brentshaginaw4143]

Impossible to argue with you there. This particular version is one of the very few exceptions in which I generally don't like live versions of my favorite songs. I've watched it countless times since buying the video archive DVD from the BX on Guam my first week stationed there in 2002, almost exactly 19 years ago...still can't get enough of it.

[@playvita9550]

A versao de estudio da Banda Yahoo é impecavel de longe a melhor ate o vocal é tambem ! mas esse solo ao vivo é muito Lindo mesmo do DefLepard!

[@fiuzaffiuza5948]

Versão de estúdio do Yahoo e essa são impecáveis!!!!

[@derden418]

Voice seems to be a bit low, but still the greatest. And, the guitar players play like i've never heard before. i thought it was a recording. it's even better. it's really a masterpiece

[@vickvalkyrie]

Vivian is so underrated. Joe didn't talk about him in his speech when they were at the Hall Of Fame, and I really think that Vivian deserves more credit and recognition for what he has done for Def Leppard. I know that the era in which the band had their big moment was when Steve was still alive. But we really need to appreciate Viv. He had cancer and he is healthy now, what a strong human being. In this show, he played a solo that had not only his own vibe but also this song's vibe. He could make this song sound even more emotional than it already is, or at least that's how I felt it. I think Steve would be very proud of him. He's terrific.

[@johnkatsoudas4767]

Vivian Campbell is a phenomenal guitar player. His guitar playing on Dio's first three studio albums are insanely amazing. He also played amazingly on Whitesnake's 1987-1988 tour. Vivian is such an amazing technical guitar player that all his years in being in Def Leppard he had changed his style of guitar playing to fit in Def Leppard's style. Even though his guitar playing in Def Leppard has been simplified since he joined the band back in 1992, he has always played from his heart with alot of emotion. Viv in my opinion is one of the greatest guitar players ever because he can do all the technical guitar playing , but he can also adapt his guitar playing to any band he plays with. Def Leppard are most definitely lucky that they have Viv in the band. His guitar playing is different than Steve Clark's was, but they both played with feeling and from the heart. Even though the other band members may have never acknowledged Viv's importance to the band. For him to have been in the band close to 30 years I would think that they have appreciated him for everything he has added and done with the band.

[@peytonbrezski]

Vivian is great. He’s undeniably the most technically skilled guitarist the band has ever had. I still much prefer Steve as a songwriter and as a performer. You can see here how still the band is compared to the energy they had on the hysteria tour. Nevertheless I think Viv is a great player and he does a good job recreating Steve’s parts in his own way. I’d say I prefer viv over Phil for sure.

[@chrisgaskins5153]

His work with Dip says it all.

[@alexa.3358]

It's live ambient guitar outro similar sounds like Whitesnake - Stl of th Night - middle part. amazing space reverb. wanna more !!

[@eirikrsland1399]

Vivian is an okay player, but a complete asshole. Glad Joe did not mention him. Steve and Pete Willis were the def lepp sound Phil and viv were never able to forge.

I love when Viv does a guitar solo on the end of this song, gives me the same sort of goosebumps as when I listen to comfortably numb live

[@MRUYENO]

That’s the effect of a master fiddler. Good explanation.

[@ankushshetty]

My God! that guitar tone gave me goosebumps

[@MRUYENO]

That bone, chilling ambience at the end solo of this song is amazing, such great collaboration by Phill and Viv. Rip Steve Clark, he would be proud and have chills in his spine after hearing this.

[@whatevertheband6921]

One of the greatest rock songs ever!!!

[@mattb383]

My new favorite version of this song. The guitar work and tones are killer on this one. Vivian rips a tasteful, melodic, emotion solo.

[@xander4700]

This is the best version of guitar playing I've heard for this song.

[@josephhuffman240]

Def Leppard absolutely nailed this song live!!

[@johnny150480]

One of all my all-time live-favorites

[@luzier13x]

first heard this song 1987 when i was 7 yrs old in a remote village in the philippines. The melody and vocal harmony blew me off that time. Thanks to my cousin who brought a cassette and a cd of the hysteria album from japan. I still have both now. he did not take it back from me. hehe. he also introduced me to super mario 2. 1st time i ever played a computer game, 1st time i listened to defleppard, damn, what a combo. lol! that was a a beautiful childhood memory.

[@Bapi633]

That Campbell solo in the end!

[@brogoram]

what proves a good band? They play ballads so good in live performance. Lots of bands (including the famous bands) failed to perform their ballads songs as good as in the record and sounded so 'empty'..

[@Bapi633]

brogo ram spot on.

[@e12agent]

Yeah... Nicely observed

[@manuelruen]

stage presence is everything. tho this video didn't sound as good cause it isn't high quality. but i've been to a couple of their concerts a while back. they did put on a good show. nowadays not soo much ahah they're old now. except for that phil collen guy looks even bigger now than he did way back in the day, steroids lol? and also nobody can say shit about rick allen still playin with one arm today and he plays barefooted. thats crazy.

[@manuelruen]

its because they are in a sound proof studio room when they record albums. thats why it sounds better. but there are some bands that still do sound great live! like ac/dc. metallica. i've even been to a paramore concert before. they sound great live!

[@ForrestGump1212]

This brings so many memories. I was still at primary school. MTV Europe , pirate antenna , mom cleaning the house and dancing to this when this came on. I asked for the tape for Christmas to play in my imitation Sony walkman. Eventually ended up buying it with Christmas carols money and to this day now much older I have the original vinyl and CD in my car. I will never forget how this music changed my life.

Well said. Steve is surely missed. He's puttin' smiles up in heaven with his Les Paul.

[@johnkatsoudas4767]

Def Leppard should release this whole show on CD and DVD/Blu-ray when the album Adrenalize reaches it's 30th anniversary in two years for a deluxe edition. I will never understand why they have never released it before . This is one of their best shows ever. The band was on top form, and Joe's singing was still very powerful. I would definitely buy it if it ever came out. I do have a bootleg of this show that I got back in the late 90's called The Circus Comes To Town and the sound quality is good for a bootleg. Now with the remastering they can do with today's technology it would sound better than ever. I agree with many on this video post that this is the best live version of Love Bites. I love the guitar playing Viv does near the end of the song. It adds so much more to the song and makes it better.

[@thiagosammett]

"I thought he might, so I did" - Joe's reaction to Sav wearing a Sheffield Wednesday shirt while he's wearing a Sheffield United one is priceless.
