<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Viv left Dio in '86, so he plenty of time to record with Whitesnake. He apparently played on the single version of Give Me All Your Love. He was also in Riverdogs for a couple of years. And Shadow King. So he did a few things between the Dio years and joining Def Leppard.

Re: Favourite Guitar Tone

Sorry for causing confusion about that Vivian Campbell thing. Its just coz I saw him playing on the Whitesnake Video Trilogy thing and I just assumed he played it on the studio album. [img]images/icons/confused.gif[/img]

I thought John Sykes was the only guitarist on the 1987 album? Micky Moody was out by then. And Adrian Vandenberg didn't join until '87, after Sykes left. The album was recorded a couple of years before, but delays meant it wasn't released until Vivian & Adrian had joined the band, which is why they get to mime along to Sykes licks in the vids.

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">John was principally the only guitarist for that album, but I believe Vandenberg just did the solo for "Here I Go Again". Fong may have confused Moody being in the band because of the writing credits, since it is the 2nd time they've recorded the song.

Re: Favourite Guitar Tone

Live, it's got to be Glen Tipton. Don't think I've heard anyone that comes close.

The guy from Forsaken that plays a Fernandez is worth a mention tho, don't know his name...

Studio, I'd probably go for Tony Iommi on The Eternal Idol.
