Description
Vivian Campbell at Xtreme Musician.
After being expelled from School at the age of 16 for being overly rebellious, Vivian Campbell joined a band called Sweet Savage. He played with them until 1982, when he successfully auditioned for Dio. After expressing differences with some of the other members of Dio, Campbell moved on to form Trinity. This band never really got off the ground, but resulted in his touring with Whitesnake in latter 1987. This, unfortunately, never resulted in any recorded material. Vivian joined the Riverdogs in the late 80's, and enjoyed some success with their self-titled album. In the early 90's, he moved on to Shadow King. In 1992, after the unfortunate demise of Steve Clark, Campbell joined Def Leppard.

Pearl Jam & Mike McCready site with the latest news, guitar tabs (over 400!!), mp3s, concert of the month, and much much more!
Mike McCready was born on April 5, 1966, in Pensacola, Florida. I'm not sure why his family ended up in Seattle but I know they moved there shortly after Mike's birth. An only child, his mother was an elementary school art teacher and his father was a city employee. His parents were into artists like Hendrix and Santana, and as a child mike would soak them in while beating his dad's bongo drums with pencils. By the time he reached the age of 10 his friends had turned him onto Kiss and Aerosmith. Shortly after his 11th birthday he walked into Kennelly Keys, a local music store, and purchased his first electric guitar, a Mateo Les Paul Copy that he still owns.
Mike began to take lessons with a local instructor Mike Wilson. He began learning the licks and styles of Joe Perry and Ritchie Blackmore, but mainly Paul Stanley: "I worship Kiss. They're the whole reason I started playing guitar." Soon after Mike discovered, playing out of his 10-watt Fender Champ, something that would change his life forever-FEEDBACK!!!: "I used to play 'smoke on the water', and I remember my dad coming up and yelling at me because I was getting feed back out of my amp; I just thought it was really cool." By the eighth grade Mike formed his first band Warrior, which shortly after was renamed Shadow ...

2. steve pappas
Steve Pappas is an expressive and adroit axe wielder currently based in Boardman, Ohio (USA) who represents his playing style as acoustic/fingerstyle/world, as a music fan can now experience on his most recent recording, "Refuge". His workhorse guitars consist of a Takamine EC132 and an Asturias JM15. Pappas has been playing guitar since 1974, and putting it simply, divulges his career objective, "To continue to write, and record my own compositions/arrangements for fingerstyle guitar."
When asked to finally make public his favorite or most used effect for the guitar, Pappas unflinchingly stated, "Digital reverb," and continued by outlining his musicial goals, "I want to express my emotions and experiences through each piece." He maintains a desire to, at some point, study historical instruments such as the lute, and is at the moment listening to Stevan Pasero, David Qualey and Gene Bertoncini. His principal gratification? "When a listener tells me that they wish my music would never stop playing," he explains absolutely ...
