[@rosskrause3926]

I saw him with DIO for the Holy Diver and Last in Line tours..just a badass guitarist !

[@greatguitaristoftherockera2833]

I never saw him with Dio other than on a live VHS. Thanks for watching and the comment.

[@SKRooU2]

I saw him on the Sacred Heart tour and when they did the Viva Hysteria DVD here in Vegas plus twice with Last in Line

[@earloverbay75]

I have forgotten what a phenom he was and still is yeah man thanks for the recap of how awesome he is. Favorite Solo anything during the Dio years.

[@greatguitaristoftherockera2833]

Thanks for watching and the comment. Yeah I was listening to the Dio stuff while making the video, pretty killer playing.

[@nonrevnosnibormetalbeerrev6251]

He is from my home country northern ireland

[@greatguitaristoftherockera2833]

Nice. Thanks for watching and the comment.

[@kevinkamphaus6567]

Absolutely LOVE his solo album! Wish he'd do another blues related LP.

[@greatguitaristoftherockera2833]

I only listened to a little bit of it while making the video. I’ll give it a listen.

[@richardmorinjr7355]

He went from shredding in the 80,s with Ronnie,to woop dop with the new def leopard

[@greatguitaristoftherockera2833]

Yeah not a lot of shredding in Def Leppard these days.

[@stoojinator]

@@greatguitaristoftherockera2833 nothing to prove now. Damn good band still. And have no problems selling out arenas and stadiums around the globe.

[@SKRooU2]

@@greatguitaristoftherockera2833 bro, they still play songs all thru the Def Lep catalog. When I was at the recording of the Viva Hysteria DVD thye played the whole Hysteria album and also a greatest hits set. They still play Rock of Ages, Photograph, HIgh N Dry, Bring'n on the Heartbreak, Wasted, Switch 925 and alot of other rockers. At the Vegas residency they were even doing Die Hard the Hunter, Stagefright etc. You can go online and pull up their setlist for any tour date. You guys act like they are playing Taylor Swift sings LMAO

[@leftygtrplr6184]

He still shreds with Last In Line and even the last Riverdogs release. In Def Lep, he has a role and he only gets some solos on the good old rockin' tunes. Phil Collen is their designated "shredder" and Viv dos what he needs to do to fulfill his role. He is still an excellent musician any way you cut it.

[@greatguitaristoftherockera2833]

@leftygtrplr6184 yes he does. Thanks for watching and the comment.

[@JRNYDAVE]

The Rainbow in the Dark solo is killer. A lot of the solos on the first Dio albums are great.

[@greatguitaristoftherockera2833]

Absolutely. Thanks for watching and the comment.

[@DmON_WINGS]

I've known Viv from Sweet Savage days and partied with Savage many many times. Those were the days.❤

[@greatguitaristoftherockera2833]

Very cool. Thanks for watching and the comment.

[@DmON_WINGS]

@@greatguitaristoftherockera2833 cheers dude, keep up the good work 🤘😝🤘

[@MojoMedicineMan]

👍👍

[@DavidDeCelle]

He's a monster player when he wants to be. Seems to have lost some fire from his youth, as we all do.

[@greatguitaristoftherockera2833]

Thanks for watching and the comment.

[@GLAM_METAL_MAN]

He is great with dio but in def leppard..he went pop rock crop

[@greatguitaristoftherockera2833]

It’s paying the bills.

[@SKRooU2]

Dude, they play songs from their whole catalog.

[@TimothyWarner-q7s]

Busted lip syncing like kiss

[@greatguitaristoftherockera2833]

Unfortunately I think they all use tracks now.

[@SKRooU2]

Def Lep doesn't sync. I was at the recording when they did Viva Hysteria DVD here in Vegas and it is all live. The only thing that is tracked is the helicopter sound on Die Hard the Hunter
