One of my all-time favorite records.

When I hear Vivian with Dio the first thing I am reminded of is Gary Moore's Victims of the Future record. Campbell going for the exact same thing. I would bet he listened to VOTF quite a bit. That type of playing was cutting edge and very current at the time. Sounds like some revisionist history to me.

Mine as well...my first album of his that I bought, at 16. Still listen to it today.

I enjoyed listening to Gary Moore back in my drinking days, but not anymore. Gary had a tendancy to needlessly overplay on nearly everything he did. His playing dynamics reminds me of the partygoer who always has to be the loudest head in the room.

I know Viv is a huge fan but I’ve never heard the Rory influence in his playing. But I’d definitely be interested in a few of Rory’s songs where he borrowed a few things. I’ve got some Rory CDs but I’ve never made the connection. Nice glamour shot ?I hear more Rory Gallagher in Vivian's playing than I do Gary Moore.
Creepy photo....

You'll dig this... Vivian Campbell plays/sings Rory Gallagher's "Calling Card".
Vivian Campbell and Friends. Go to 14:08... "How long is your dick?" Vivian... "About 10"... Go ask your girlfriend, she'll draw you a picture."

Vivian plays Rory's version of "Messin With The Kid" on his 'Vivian Campbell and Friends' GIT clinic session.

Yeah you lost me here...maybe somewhat with his 'shred' albums but most of his career consisted of the right notes in the right places, every time. Neither Rory nor Viv had the fierce 'attack' that Gary had; nor the vibrato which is the best in the business IMO. Gary never missed a note but could get 'frenetic' in some of his 80s tunes or playing live.I enjoyed listening to Gary Moore back in my drinking days, but not anymore. Gary had a tendancy to needlessly overplay on nearly everything he did. His playing dynamics reminds me of the partygoer who always has to be the loudest head in the room.
After listening to some Rory stuff, it's very cool and nice but nothing really stands out to me. Nice bluesy rock stuff...being that my ancestors are from County Mayo it's nice to learn about another Irish guitar slinger.
Vivian is great in his own way/style..not really a shredder compared to others in that era but he has GREAT vibrato and note placement...I've always been a fan.
But Gary Moore will ALWAYS be in my top 5 guys EVER...neither Rory nor Viv make that list..not taking anything away from them but they aren't in Gary's league. Sorry.

Racerated, dude when I think of internet name
I hear the chorus to “Vindicated”
“I’m so Racer’rated,..but my guitar cleans
up so well”.
Seriously though,
Dude, being the Joe Perry guy comes at a STEEP
price.
Handling all that at that level on stage/studio
for life..
That’s why the other guitarist dude in the band
is a bad Mother’fker on his own and to be the bad ass lead guitar player over the bad ass rhythm dude, you better have the f’n force man.
I bet he’s glad he ain’t the Joe Perry dude.
Have you ever heard Joe Perry’s shrude’ comment
to Steven Tyler for doing American Idol?
HILARIOUS!!!!!!
Those Joe Perry dude’s are always battling the wits of the lead singer/frontman.
Joe’s comment was a glowing example of this brute skill.
