Makes me wish I could travel back in time to 89 myself. I was 18 at that time ... miss those days.

Depends on what his talents are supposed to be, I guess, he´s been pretty open about not being the shredder he was but has also mentioned plenty of times that he is a better musician, writer and singer now than he was thirty years ago. Def Leppard is 80% of his pro career and half his life at this point, so I don´t think he regrets the compromise that much. On that note I always wonder what would have happened if Blue Murder-era John Sykes had stepped in after Steve Clark died, as was intended at the time, but I doubt he would have stuck around all these years considering what a recluse he´s been.

Sure he's no Paul Gilbert as far as a shredder and he's never claimed to be , but he rips it up pretty damn good and I have always liked his melodic sense of phrasing especially on the Dio/Riverdogs early stuff.
 
Nobody’s mentioned his wonderful solos on the Shadow King album, just beautiful.
I also really enjoy his playing with Last In Line, Viv has always been super tasty
