Def Leppard - Rock of Ages - Live 'In The Round' (Steve Clark - Guitar Cover)

[@bwm5150]

I was saddened to hear last week that Hurricane Joe passed away. Joe was probably the most passionate Steve Clark fan you could get after seeing him live on the Hysteria tour. Inspired by Steve's passing, Joe dedicated himself to learn everything he could about Steve's playing. Joe was also one of the first people to comment on my first few covers back in 2011 and was always extremely kind and complimentary to me. When I made the Steve Clark tribute video last year, I put the idea to Joe and wanted him to be a big part of it as he flew the flag for Steve and wanted everyone to know about how great he was. So this video is dedicated to him. Go and give his channel a visit and see what passion he had for Steve and music kzbin.info

So sorry for the loss of your friend Hurricane Joe. You and Joe have been carrying the music of Steve on for years and we greatly appreciate it. I have seen Joe's videos numerous times and really enjoyed them. I'm also glad you were able to do the Tribute to Steve with him before he passed on. RIP Hurricane Joe

[@TheRetroManRandySavage]

No way. I liked watching his videos. RIP. 🙏🏻

[@bobfromjob]

Oh man, I had no idea of his passing. I've watched so many of his videos and felt so connected to him, his lessons and playing. RIP, Joe. We lost a good, pure teacher of all things Def Leppard guitar and playing it with spirit. Damn. :(

[@kleindidier1512]

Merci, merci, merci 👍

[@vintagetrk]

I love watching you play. Your a brilliant guitarist. Very sorry to hear about Hurricane Joe.

[@MrCarl5150]

Excellent tribute...rest in peace Hurricane Joe. We are just losing so many good people all over lately...let's keep them from fading away 🤘✌️🤟🍻

[@re6035]

Thank you for the acknowledgement to Joe Scott. He truly was devoted to Steve's style and taught me so much about his playing. I will miss him terribly. I am so glad that you now channel Steve in your videos and you do an outstanding job!

[@robinstevens9189]

Wow Ben that is indeed sad news. Your channeling of Steve in these videos always gives me goose bumps! Keep the spirit alive man. You are the best!!

The best

[@aminahmed2220]

This is a fantastic guitar cover also a wonderful tribute to hurricane Joe may he rest in peace

[@Unknown-Guitarist]

Best 70-80's covers right here. The exact tones. Tape delays, perfect room effects. The genre reference in YT. Not exaggerating.

[@bobfromjob]

I'm biased, this is one of my favorite live DL performances. From the first chord, I knew I would enjoy the ride. And I did. Thank you, bwm! As always, your skills and love shine through! Two thumbs up!

[@ramonbaez2685]

Excellent!!! Performance two thumbs up

[@nick39]

Dude you are definitely my favorite KZbin guitarist! I’ve watched your Dreams by Van Halen well over 100 times. Just came across this video. It’s great! I’ve told you before and I’ll tell you again. You are extremely talented! Keep rockin’ brother!🙂

[@daztastic147]

I have this DVD and have rewatched Steve Clark’s guitar playing so much - and also Phil Collen on the acoustic on the stand. Awesome concert🤘 🎶🎵👏

[@nick39]

Nice work brother! I love your playing style. I wish it was as easy as you make it look!

[@martinkguitarcover4933]

Nice song. Great cover.

[@dkrawk8309]

That's awesome , that's how I play it and everyone birches that it's wrong

[@beckybillarreal3343]

You rock! Another favorite of mine. You're so freaking awesome. If you had a metal bucket and a broom handle with two wires attached to it. You would have a hillbilly guitar and even you could make that sound good! Whatever guitar you play. Whatever song you play you kill it!

[@JIHillestad]

Keeping the standards up, yet again! However, I'm still hopefully waiting for St. Elmos Fire.

[@bwm5150]

Thanks, hopefully soon, there’s many tracks I want to cover and not enough time it seems 😅

[@JIHillestad]

@@bwm5150 The song has some guitar parts by Steve Lukather, but it needs more guitar :)

[@gfgranja]

When are you going to get a triple humbucker Les Paul custom with Kahler??? kkkk great job man

[@TearsPlays]

I was just thinking to myself when you were gonna do this video lol

[@bobfromjob]

That Def Leppard hasn't added you is a travesty. How much you love the music and how you play it so great. It's a shame.

[@bwm5150]

Haha, I’m very pleased I can share these videos with other passionate fans

[@zapp3r504]

would it be possible to do Phil's In the round solo

[@bwm5150]

I think I’ll be doing a series on Phils parts too

[@zapp3r504]

@@bwm5150 that would be awsome. thank you

2:13 is that intentinal? steve did that in the live show too I think.

[@re6035]

He doesn't play at all during the solo? Hmm. He still drives the song as always.

[@bwm5150]

He does clapping to get the crowd going before doing some of the rhythm in behind towards the end of the solo.

[@TearsPlays]

Do you have plans on getting a guitar that looks like one Steve played?

[@bwm5150]

Not for the foreseeable future.

[@TearsPlays]

@@bwm5150 I been trying to get a firebird

[@cbarrett34]

Did Pete Willis do most of the solos off the first 2 albums?

[@bwm5150]

No, it was pretty evenly split.

[@cbarrett34]

@@bwm5150 how come Phil did the majority of the leads on Pyromania & Hysteria, when Steve was highly capable?

[@bwm5150]

@@cbarrett34 It's pretty even on Pyromania, Phil only just edges it because they both play a lead on Action Not Words. Hysteria is also even when you take out the solos they played together like on Rocket, Sugar and Hysteria, but Steve composed two of those so you could say he edged it there.

[@cbarrett34]

@@bwm5150 true, but why did Phil get to play those great leads on Pyromania's 3 biggest hits, Photograph, Rock of Ages and Fooling? You would think Mutt Lange would've let Steve do one of those and Phil was the new guy.

[@bwm5150]

@@cbarrett34 The band asked him to play on those songs and they happened to be the hits.

[@hyutyub]

There’s always 2 thumbs down and I don’t get it.

[@bwm5150]

That’s KZbin, don’t worry about it 😅

[@chandler.2021]

from the tabs I have looked at it looks like your playing it differently but it still sounds the same. or maybe it’s my skill difference lol

[@bwm5150]

I try to follow what the guys played from live references.

[@TearsPlays]

In the studio version i think this is what phil plays isn't it

[@bwm5150]

Apart from the solo, I don’t think you can definitely say who did what. Could be all Pete on the rhythm for all we know.

[@TearsPlays]

@@bwm5150 IDK, In Rocksmith, what you played is set as the lead guitar part.

[@bwm5150]

Live, Steve and Phil both play some of the leads in the second verse together, which is why I do it here. I don’t think it matters who did it on the record.
