Heavily requested track but certainly not one I begrudged in playing along with as I'd love to be in a wedding band just to play stuff like this! Written by the hitmaker Diane Warren and my first Starship cover to feature Grace on vocals, although I have covered another from this album but I think she's just on backing. Mickey of course sounding great too and there's some videos of him doing this track in the 90's, doing both parts, and he sounds great. I've added a couple of guitar parts here and there in the verses to mix it up a bit, but not much else. Hope you enjoy! :)

'Leppardized' is my way of adding interesting guitar parts to a song that has little to no guitar in it, in an attempt to make it more like the Hysteria era of Def Leppard. Although really it is just an excuse for me to play over pop. :)

I use a Charvel DK24 (it's purple) into a Boss Me50 into a Palmer Pdi-09 into a Focusrite Scarlett into my computer running Logic Pro X.

F.A.Q.
My headphones are purposely like that so the cable stays out the way.

I have a Patreon where I upload my notation notes for all my new covers and I am going through my old ones too. But I also provide custom notation and video lessons content there or at my [email protected] address. Please get in touch if you want help playing the music you love. www.patreon.com/bwm5150

    Again my dude you bring it with a classic 80's cover. I love the Def Leppard touch you put on some of these - it makes them so good! Your version of "The Power of Love" by Huey Lewis is IMO way better than the original. Now every time I hear it on Sirus XM I have to turn it off and listen to yours lol. Proud to support you on Patreon man - keep up the great work!

    Extremely talented! Thanks for giving us Gen Xers what we didn’t even know we needed! ❤
  • They just don’t write songs like this anymore. Thanks for a great cover. 👍
  • Another one of my favorite covers off the channel and my personal favorite cover from the Leppardized series. I love the guitar work on this version especially the intro. It sounds more beautiful the more I listen to it.

    I just can't get enough of your Lepperdized covers. They have such an "anthemic" sound about them and I get instantly happy when I hear them. Thank you for doing this :)

    Your touch is so efficient and nuanced. Even the way your power chords sound is better bc of the chops. Just awesome

    I'm glad to play the songs I used to listen to when I was in junior high school with starship and Def Leppard. Your favorite song goes great with you.

    Every song that you Leppardized has an extra plus point of grace, Love the way you play, love the way it sounds, and just can say, many, many thanks for share.

    Nothing like some sweet arpeggios to Leppardize this classic from my teenage years! Well done!
  • One of my favorite songs by Starship but I especially love your version of it with the extra Leppard touches to it made it even better than the original. Keep rocking the 80's and those of us who still love the 80's will rock with you!
