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!

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.

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.

Talk about downsizing, but as a Bassist who completely did a 180° in his gear & tone over several years, I can dig it.

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.
