Def Leppard Steve Clark Tribute

Here’s a tribute I made to the late Steve Clark. Using their performance and the Steve footage of Gods of War, from Shoreline Amphitheatre, Mountain View, CA, USA 17th Aug 1988, I've edited it to add various video clips from other Steve performances from throughout the Hysteria era. I hope you enjoy and remember the great man.

[@ilovesteveclark6084]

Steve Clarke and Izzy Stradlin just have that JuJu and Mo Jo. No one can replace that in a band.

Rip Steve

[@dorotheamorgan6114]

Steve was the best gutar player

[@stevemitchell3364]

RIP. Steve

[@rodrijack]

The best guitar player of all the times, RIP Rick we miss you !

[@BamaKattt]

God Bless the Riff Master on the 21st year since his passing. I still remember exactly where I was when I heard on the radio that he had died, it was as traumatic as hearing the space shuttle blew up or Reagan getting shot, something you never forget. I was lucky enough to see the Leps 9 times on this tour, 3 front row, and I got to meet Steve and shake his hand. He was the reason I picked up the guitar, and as Tommy Skeoch put it so well, Steve was the entire package, a true Rock God. RIP SMC!!

[@ChristianContemporaryMusic02]

Everytime I hear Steve play the gods of war tune at the start it sheds tears in my eyes. Knowing that he's gone is sad. But atleast he's still rocking up there in heaven. Rip Stephen Maynard Clark. 🙏🤍

[@j7l5m4]

The Best of the BEST ! W/ All of My LOVE 💒🎶🎶🎶📜😇 Man Viena Toks ! MELUI 🤗😍😍

[@aldothenoo]

Steve steamim clark ❤❤

[@Wolfsky9]

I loved this guy ! --------------He was just awesome ----------------WolfSky9

[@omaredgardo]

Nadie igualara a Steve Clark en Def Leppard. Su sonido dejo una huella inolvidable.

[@yoichiroyoda4440]

This is the best tribute video ever! Thank you for creating this tribute to Steve.

[@ClarkOVision]

Awesome Andy... THANK YOU. Steve was THE KING of DEF LEPPARD. The man will be forever loved and missed.

[@mihellmi]

beautiful work for Steve by Andy ! .... beautiful shots when he and his guitar are one body, one soul! .... Watch and enjoy those moments all the time! LUV IT!!! thx Andy!!

[@ryanlinthwaite8859]

One of the best guitar ever lived

[@adamwood7597]

He was very special!

[@lilysandoval3809]

Amazing Talent , Beautiful ❤️ , & so Shy , yet Great Composer ; of such Tear--Jerking Words , And Heart - Melting "Melodies" !

[@williambroadstreet3353]

An EXCELLENT montage of the various guitars 'The Riffmaster' used....some very rare footage on display here and many hours taken to put the clip together so THANK YOU so much. Not ALL of 'The Riffmasters' wide range of guitars, around 70 in total and many Strats/Teles used for recording as Steve said he loved the sound in the studio are on display here but it is the most comprehensive set of examples I have ever seen and the cherry on top is the montage set to the timeless iconic 'Gods Of War' that when I first heard this just blew me away and I will never forget that day, and today and tomorrow I still have the same shiver up my spine...this man was a fucking genuine...genuine genius who had it all...he had the stage charisma of a rock god, the song writing abilities that propelled Leppard into the musical stratosphere...has allowed Leppard to still tour off Steve's amazing legacy with the back catalogue Leppard still use [and now as of 2018 have legally/contractually agreed to stream]...and as Phil noted in his book of Steve's ability to create what were critical to him as a song writer melodies, harmonies, riffs, bends, hooks and create a "Japanese garden" of musical wonderment...we are soon approaching in the next few weeks the memory of this genius' passing, clips such as this help educate the following generations, for what Steve left was a legacy that cannot be pout into words...I STRONGLY implore all to look at 'Steve Clark Guitar' Facebook and Twitter as you will find a fucking treasuretrove of information on this genius, and is so very well maintained weekly with some amazing background information on Steve, his equipment, his views, interviews, and pictures etc..#TR

[@rodparada87]

RIP STEVE.

[@missveronica25]

I Love You Steve... My heart belongs to you...

[@bkelly5185]

I love Def Leppard and Phil Collen but it's disrespectful how Steve is ignored in most of the videos. He is and was a better guitarist all day long!
