I got a Facebook message from my friend Justin today who lives in L.A.
Dude, Joe Elliott played with Steel Panther last night because NAMM conference was in town. Then I go to Starbucks this morning and he's sitting here right next to me. Ha Ha - you would be so happy here!
After doing a bit of research, it looks like Def Lep’s Vivian Campbell was the special guest at the SP show, not Joe. Hey Schuvie, maybe you had one too many beers last night?? HA!
Of course Leppard and Panther just toured the UK together, so it’s not a surprise that Viv was invited on stage to play a few tunes. The funny part was seeing him play the guitar solo in “Rock of Ages,” a song where Phil Collen handles the lead. I’m guessing that’s the first time he’s played that guitar solo in the 20 years he’s been in Def Leppard.
After “Rock of Ages,” they broke into a killer version of Dio's “Rainbow In The Dark.” Now there’s a song that Viv hasn’t played on stage in at least 25 YEARS! You would never know it based on his blistering guitar solo on this track. Note for note perfection…
As if on cue, here's a post from Viv's Facebook page:
I was in Anaheim for the NAMM show yesterday and afterwards I got up on stage with Steel Panther at the House of Blues and played "Rock of Ages" and "Rainbow in the Dark". It's only been a few weeks since I played "ROA", but it's been 27 years since I had to play the solo in "Rainbow in the Dark". Wow, that's a tough solo to pull off, but I think I got away with it!
