Love Viv… Super Sweet guy with a great sense of humor. Oh yeah… and a beast of a player.

[@kennedypage9128]

I agree. All that. Distinctive lead playing. You can always tell it's him.

[@rugdnit911]

@@kennedypage9128 💯. Have you seen the footage of his Love Bites Outro Solo in Monterrey Mexico with his double cut gold top? The audio is crap, but his in that zone where he just goes off the rails deep in the mood of the song. This is what makes him special.

[@TonyM132]

Peter Green of Fleetwood Mac, Gary Moore of Thin Lizzy, Kirk Hammett of Metallica, Rick Nielsen of Cheap Trick, Pete Townshend of The Who... That is a really cool group of famous players to be associated in one way or another with the guitars Viv brought on this tour.

[@oldmanpence4803]

Love this - I could listen to Vivian talk about guitars and music all damn day. Much respect and love.

[@tboneoutdoors688]

Viv looks great. They all do. Hopefully we have another 20+ years of Leppard on tour!

[@RockinExperience]

Huge Vivian fan here. It's weird to see all his stuff with Def Leppard, as compared to when he plays with Last in Line. His LiL rig is just two Engle half stack amps, and his loyal Dio era matt-black Les Paul mic'd to the house system, playing only to a few hundred people. I can't wait to see him again this October. I've met him probably 15 times. Always cordial and cool!

[@lehighstar474]

Im a drummer but love the combination of Phil and Viv...love you guys....my favorite band

[@perryanderson5642]

Vivian Campbell is a Great person. Thanks for letting me walk your 🐕 Dogs at A Hotel I worked at. DEF LEPPARD is the Best Band Ever!!!!!!!

[@robstonezone354]

Viv is in my top 3 all time favorite guitar players along with EVH and Gary Moore. Great guitar collection!

[@MikeUIibarri]

Love this guy, and his playing! BURNED onto the scene back in the day, there was nothing else like the playing on that album. Scarred me for life. Fan for life. Health and Happiness, Sir!

[@georgeoosterhous414]

My favorite guitar solo in the last 25 years is your solo on “America Dream” Hey! Hey! Hey! Best wishes to you on the LIL Tour.

[@RoadiewithRich]

Viv, I am reading the Definitely book and just got to the part about you being diagnosed with Hodgkins Lymphoma. I too am a Hodgkins Lymphoma survivor. I was diagnosed in 2020, after I recovered I was inspired to start my KZbin channel. Godspeed brother and stay well. Health is wealth!

[@mike42441]

Awesome video! Nice line up of guitars, although Mr. C and that '56 reissue are exceptional beauties!

[@jamiemorgan4146]

The 56 was ruined by a screwdriver 🪛 and crap P100’s What knowledgeable guitar player chooses them over P 90’s????? 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🤨🤨🤨🤨

[@wazda6488]

Always nice to see a fellow les paul with super distortion enjoyer, seriously underrated combination

[@savageleppard1202]

His signature guitar is gorgeous ❤

[@nicolekoch1332]

Beautiful arsenal you've got with you on the road. Vivian is ready to battle bordem across the world with the band wherever the tour takes them.💖🎼🎵🎸🎙🎶🍻

[@ruthyates6324]

Naming them makes them more important plus tech knows exactly which you want . Beautiful love the MR.C the color oooo ❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥

[@blazerhawkdarren68]

Nice collection of guitars. I have 3 that were given to me by my uncle. The first one was when I was 8 years old. The second one was given to me almost 30 years ago. The last one was given to me shortly after he passed away. I might have to name them all after his name.

[@darlatidwell6255]

Vivian you're great. I've always been a fan. It was cool being introduced to your guitars. See you next time. 👍💕

[@MichaelBruceTLTAGuitar]

Nice...hopefully a full rig rundown to come for everyone.

[@JackMcLeodJr]

Viv's been one of my favourite guitarists ever since hearing Dio's first solo record Holy Diver (one of the greatest hard-rock to metal albums ever), my view is that Viv (and also John Sykes) are two of the late great Gary Moore's 'disciples' as it were, stylistically/musically. I couldn't give higher praise than that really. Cheers from South Wales, Viv. All the best to you and all the Leppard lads.

[@the406seadonkey6]

Well said.

[@JackMcLeodJr]

@@the406seadonkey6 Thank you man, it's nice when somebody else gets it.

[@alicekoetsier]

Cool

[@GogaMagoga151]

Обожаю вас!!!

[@Diggerdog2nd]

Glad he's in good health & also has had a career with Def Leppard the last 30 years. One of my top 5 guitarist back in the early/mid 80's mainly because I'm a huge fan of the 1st 2 Dio records.

[@B.T.R.-sj4if]

Vivian is a stunningly brilliant guitarist - his DIO days when he was given a chance by RD saw a young hungry player who just blew it all away live. Viv's first guitar was a LP. The way he tells the story is hilarious...waiting....and waiting to get it as back then it took a LONG time to get a US LP delivered to Ireland. As all fans of Viv know he had his 'shred' days and his famous limited edition guitars - and he used super Strats with Leppard for years before as he himself said "came full circle", returning to LP's. Lovely bloke.

[@dgruver743]

Viv rocks - and he’s so sweet! 😍

[@billkeaveney1526]

Keep on rocking Vivian

FIRST HERE WITH GREAT DEF LEPPARD 👊

[@marleemumu]

I think you def should rename Casper, Wolfie. Dave was a lovely guy whenever I had the chance to chat with him when Leppard last toured Australia in 2018 and in Vegas.

Viv likes the slim 60's taper, seeing that the studio les Paul's come stock this way.

[@wendidrew7374]

Cool collection...

[@jesterraj]

Was looking forward to seeing his rack of gear.

[@TheLochs]

Nice guitars. I'm a Strat guy but I had a beautiful custom shop Les Paul that I had to sell to buy a house. I miss it to this day.

[@johnlarson9246]

Great Guitarist.

[@davedropd1]

For any Viv fans out there... if you have not heard him play on the Riverdogs records... you NEED TOO.... the first self-titled album is especially GOOD!!

[@michellewatson1673]

💜

[@johnedwards5575]

I guess my question on the replica Greeny is if he prefers the middle position for NOT sounding like a Les Paul, but a Fender.

[@sytharnia1717]

Love the White Studio ...

funny the "gary" looks nothing like Greenie apart from the backwards neck pickup .. has the magnet been reversed?

That was very cool Viv, to see your specs and tastes in what you like to play. I've been curious how your set up was in the Dio days? I loved the guitar tone on Holy Diver, and noticed it changed after.😎🎸

Wish viv would have a couple of super strats

Does all guitarists name theire guitars ? I ask because I follow Orianthi and all her guitars hve a name :)

Huh, didn't know that Wolfie wasn't Viv's guitar tech anymore or that he stopped playing that silver sparkle Les Paul with all the stickers from his daughters on tour.
