O yes....

briliant guitarist..love his unique style and sound...his solos will hypnotize you ..last in line solo in my opinion is one of the best solos ever created.

Now he just uses the Les Paul and Engl and has the best tone I have heard

Wishing Vivian Campbell a speedy and complete recovery.

Vivian Campbell is a musical soloing genius.

deserves everything he has. worked hard on his playing. love rainbow in the dark .... been in great bands .... love his les paul guitar based work... thx viv

The tone and style he had on those first two DIO records, was hands down the best. I like how he's back to the basics today. Les Paul, ENGL Amos, pure rock n roll #lastinline

I think the fact that he was bare bones through a jcm800 on Dio stuff? proves to me not only is he an amazing metal guitarist, but he hit it right on the head right off the bat! Viv you don't need all those toys! Somebody give this guy the kery king marshall! and start your own band!

Love this guy!!!

Mr. Vivian Patrick Campbell 🎸⚡️🔥

So talented, popular and from a rich family yet remained so humble and worked for everything he got..never got it from his rich dad.. Most of his peers r snobs, except the leppard guys. Such a nice guy.

Have it and Love it!!!! Have had it For years!!!!!

BBE was such a great help at adding clarity to the sound. I've been using them since they first came out.

that's what makes a muisian great, awesome yet humble

I loved his old Tom Anderson guitars!!

no problem i'm a huge fan of vivian in all the bands he has played in over the years.

He really nailed it the solo (last in line)

Sadly im Born in 92 .... i would be another Player if i were introduced in the 80s ... Smashing Player o.O

A modern era guitar God right there with eddie van halen

Man that Soldano though 😍😍

Great Video,and I agree Technology Has came along way from Plugging Straight from a Guitar into a Marshall,and Vivian I'M GLAD AS hell too!!!

I had huge racks, Bradshaw switching system, effects, preamps, poweramps, heads, etc. I sold all of that huge seup & now play through different Langner modded 70s Marshall tube heads, a HeadBone for amp switching, 4 Langner & Marshall 4x12 cabs, a few custom guitars Wayne Charvel built & a few T.C. Electronics effects w/ a GCX Ground Control Pro & Audio Switcher. It's simpler (& more portable!), but the sound is huge & the tone is unbelievable. This video is old tech, but sounds really good.

Wow now 2018 those racks from the 80s are now considered vintage gear and sought after. Today, its all about pedalboards and paying premium price for pedals that sound vintage. Back in the 80s the same pedal what are sought after now were selling dirt cheap because every guitar player wanted to have a rack effect with modern digital sounds now it went full circle.

one of the best METAL singers!

Very true words mate!

God Bless...

I usually prefer Marshall and Fender (both combo amps or high watt boxes with heads), but Vivian sure did that Soldano look good.

Viv's back to using Marhsalls, the JMP Preamp I believe---great player, loved all of his work in Dio, Riverdogs and Def Leppard [heard some Shadow King with Lou Gramm, not bad]

Guys a beast metal guitarist. I have not seen anybody mention his work with Riverdogs here. Great songs with KILLER solos! Check it out

@captainflamson

Roozo411 Riverdogs contains not just what is possibly Viv's finest guitar playing, but some of the finest playing by anyone really, he is absolutely on fire on all of the solos! I miss him using the Floyd, he really had developed such a unique and beautiful, fluid style incorporating the Floyd, which few players ever do. Keep rockin' the Les Pauls of course Vivian, but break out these Andersons and Charvels, maybe even a Nightswan once in a while!

Hey rockers, please have class and understanding at this difficult juncture in his life. The first round of lymphoma chemo did not work. He has relapsed. He barely had any hair re-growth. He's broken. He has lived in Southern Cali for many years and just like Lars has lost his Euro accent so has Vivian, so sue him. It will be the least of his worries. I don't want to go through another loss of a brilliant rock guitarist, the father of 2 young girls, most of all this RN does not want cancer to win--again!! So all of you petty Vivian Campbell critics, now is the time to turn into supporters. There's still time to change the road you're on.

geo linkin At age 18, in my dorm college days, in Texas, I knew and saw how Vivian could deliver at such a young age, very complex solos during his DIO tenure. He was not into other people touching him, not Ronnie, not video vamps - nobody. He wanted no part of any distraction of his concentration of his guitar playing. Because he's a TRUE professional. I can only surmise that to be unprofessional conduct and that he finds that uninviting. I'm only 1/2 Irish and 1/2 Italian and my Irish dad also is NO public display of affection kind of a man. I find Vivian and Daddy are both top notch in class. Happy New Year Geo!

I've met VC and he was a very nice dude. Happy to take a minute to talk with you. I think what is coming across as being condescending or mega ego is just a shyness about him. Almost like he's a bit uncomfortable when speaking publicly. That was my impression of him.

awesome . great to see the great. if i could be like viv . i would light up the sky ....great . practice,practice. rock oooonnnn dude

I used to have this VHS tape.

I must admit that Anderson makes truly fantastic guitars.

Because even though the price doesn't always guarantee the quality, the quality sure guarantees the price.

the best

Saw him again in the summer with Leppard, such a great guitar player. Funny to see him saying how he needs the "wangy" bar yet now never uses one.

This man is a god.

In the early 80s, guys discovered pathways into fire-breathing, EVH gain territory. But by the grace of technological limitations, their rigs remained analog, tube-based; organic. But, by the time of this video in the 90s, it had become: "Here's a preamp stage, followed by reverb, chorus, eq and delay, then another preamp stage, then more reverb, chorus, eq and delay.." The 90s player would consider the fx "subtle." Well, by the 2nd or 3rd chorus insert, it's not so subtle. This approach (right down to the requisite coil-split pickups) is a microcosm of everything that hastened the demise of 80s metal. With Viv here in the 90s, these damaging trends are in full swing. It would take until after 2005 before mainstream practice of a more pure signal path gained traction again.

Effects versatility

❤❤❤

Oh, how things can change. :-) He's now gone back to using a couple of Les Pauls and a more simple rig. Check out the KZread titled: "Rig Rundown - Thin Lizzy's Vivian Campbell & Scott Gorham"

Really good guitarist

The irony that what VC's "Sound" was in 1992 holding his Andersons (IIRC he got a bunch for Leppard in '92) well above his Les Paul, Soldano, Large Rack & Stereo Effects & Eventide H-3000) compared to only *5* years later is well-evident... almost *all* Les Pauls for his stage electrics guitars, no wireless, 13-52 Heavy Strings, Marshall & Boogie heads into Marshall cabs. Talk about downsizing, but as a Bassist who completely did a 180° in his gear & tone over several years, I can dig it.

That Soldano head sure looks sweet and kicks all sorts of ass tone-wise.

I'm a Gibson Les Paul guy with an Orange + a few boxes. Love simplicity. But I can't understand why so many people here finds this technical equilibrium so fuckin disgusting?! It's educating to get to know a bit about this mastery. An extreme rig. And the man's funny! Enjoy a great complex player while you can (life goes pretty fast...) Perhaps more of a fusion wizard than a stone cold hard rocker. And that little clean 'Hendrix' thing in the end is just beautiful. Peace brother.

Les Paul and wishing it were there I had using jcm 800 Marshall modified Rachelle

@agavalence Vivian has been doing the same thing for 20 years. He has his style just like Phil. I believe Vivian has one trademark solo from his Dio days and that's about it. I could point out a dozen or so for Phil. Viv has also stated being upset he never could play in the Malmsteen style. I think they compliment each other tremendously.

@ukshrednoodle Shit NO! I love my effects. I can't live without them. The ability to customize tone is like the ability to shape the world.

To bad Dio and vivian didn't like each other ! They made the best music together! I saw them live together and they were great shows ! I pray for your battle with cancer I know what your going threw!

read it slower it might help you understand what i posted. or you can just listen to vivian play and figure out for yourself that he is indeed a brilliant player.

@agavalence Vivian is great. Put Phil Collen is equally as good. Different styles that's all. Most of the classic Leppard solos are done by Phil. They do split them up pretty equal on the new records.

Hmmm. He's got a Tom Anderson Guitar.. That manufacturer will custom make, your dream Axe.. They also have Les Paul bodys..

wow I cant believe they use chained individual amps as effects (not pedals) back then. or maybe i'm wrong?

Glad they kept reminding me that i am watching a hot guitarist

My above point was, that you don't need a large setup like Vivian's in this video anymore, to get all of these options, but a lot of it (tube/analog, but remaining quite and not stealing tone) is important, as are the right (passive) pickups, wood and pickup selector combos. Simple is better, unless you have big stadiums to play dozens of sounds at the switch of a hat in front of, but you can do it more simply now-a-days. Still, good stuff in the video. :-)

Kind of what I'd said (replacing a rack with some modeler, sure. However, I'd argue that one would still get better sound from a good tube amp over a tube amp modeler. That is all subjective, though, and a good player will make a modeler sound like something a lot of people would want. Definitely a lot better these days than a decade ago, or two.

Any know if that's a song he plays at 2:43 ?

The "Hot Guitarist" was essential..we wouldn't have known.

Wind cries Mary!Sounds awesome

hola amigo, sabes cual es la marca de la guitarra que usa en este video??? siempre he tenido la curiosidad pero no he encontrado respuesta!! saludos

not really, most guitarists are, its just our way ;) not all of us of coarse. But what kind of rockstar would they be without a little bit of ego?? The trick is to know when and when not to. Its called class

Does he still have the Tom Andersons?

If you don't like him, why are you watching and commenting videos about him, huh?

*HOT GUITARIST*

This video is dated of course. Vivian now has returned to his Les Pauls, without tremolos. You can mimic a lot of normal vibrato without a tremolo, as George Lynch does frequently when he reaches for his Tele to play old Dokken songs.

This Video is from the early nineties it was called Hot Guitar Video Now . No He is not hard up he plays with Def Leppard .
