It's a pitty that you don't hear those bell like chorus guitars anymore in today's music. They always are so pleasing from Hysteria to Photograph to Angelia hmmmmmm....
Marx was my guy growing up. My father kind of scoffed at his music because it was too "middle of the road" for him, but I loved his great sound, even as a kid. It's very haunting and thoughtful music.
Yes! One of my absolute favourite Richard Marx songs, purely because of Landau's great guitar tone! Word on the street is that Marx and producer/engineer David Cole tried to replicate the Pyromania/Hysteria sound on this track, and I personally think they did that sound justice. It's only right that this particular Richard Marx song is covered by you, sir! Instant like! 👍
Once again, that was really enjoyable. You keep hitting these songs that were a special time in my life. My now wife of 33 years were dating when this came out. Many road trips were made listening to RM. Thank you.
Always loved this song 🎶 Richard Marx, beautiful song writer. 1989!! What a beautiful 🤩 gorgeous year for top 40 music! Will always treasure this! Thanks for posting this awesome 👏🏻 cover!!!
I own the album, "Repeat Offender" of which this marvelous track holds home at the 3 spot on the track listing. Out of all others on the LP, this track gets the most plays. I recall buying this album at a long forgotten music/media store here in the States (FYE). I'd often listen to it on my way to school during my senior year, cruising down in my black T/A all by my lonesome. The coldy, northeastern wind hit the back of my neck as I'd get out of the car, but the tune remained lodged in my head as I trekked from the parking lot, across the football fields into the main campus for Study Hall prior to 1st period. That seemed all of lifetime ago, yet it was just back in 2003. God, what a time; an easier time! Great work and you certainly nailed the tone here. It does sound an awful lot like Hysteria in terms of "tone/essence". I too think Marx's vocal tone, and vibrato is totally 80's, killer for ballads, and of course more upbeat tunes like "Angelia" Finally, a little backstory on the track; Richard was on a plane during a tour, and he met a particularly friendly flight attendant aboard one of his cross country flights at the time. Her name, you guessed it Angelia. TMYK!
Amazing tone and playing. I absolutely adore this song and album. While my favorite track off the album is too late too say goodbye this song is truly Richard Marx masterpiece as far as the huge hits go. To me this is a perfect song and I wouldn’t change a note from it. Didn’t know this song was inspired by Def Leppard till about a year ago and the more I listen to it it totally made a lot of sense cause it definitely has that vibe to it as well. This song is another perfect example for the la studio clean tones that I love. More of a reason why I admire Landau’s guitar work so much. This guy can play just about anything in the book like lukather, huff etc and he has so many memorable riffs and solos as well. Like this one for example. Which is why he’ll forever remain one of my favorite guitarists of all time.
I have always loved the guitar Outro to this song and the matching sax - just when I think I’m the only one that listens to certain more obscure cuts…. I bet our playlists and our CD collections look identical
Again great work, man! Thinking of Landau's tones and style, a great example is two songs from his work with Jamie Walters on Jamie's self-titled album from 1995. They are Comfort of Strangers, and The Distance. I remember the cd sleeve having a comment from Michael about the "haunting' quality of Jamie's singing. It may be worth a listen to :) Another song I thought of is Heartbreak Kid by Icehouse off of, I believe, Man of Colours.
I got notified for a Jackson Phil Collen Behind the Riff and then I get a new drop from Ben... coincidence??? 🤔 Nice job on this one...Don't Mean Nothin was always my RM fav! 🤘🤘🤘🍻
What a gteat tone you have man.Youre my favorite youtube guitarist .and i have seen a lot of guitarists believe me .Im playing guitar to.Continue the great job
I grew up with all of this power balads and Def Leppard is my favourite band, so just watching you playing is always a pleasure. You should do "Don't walk away" from Danger Danger :)
You strike yet again covering my favorite songs...this is my favorite Richard Marx song. Your taste in music is as spot on as your playing! Absolutely love your tone...gives the song this haunting feel.
You are playing damn good. I noticed long ago, that i especially love those Song for the guitar sounds which a lot of people not even recognize. You bring them to the Front. Found your channel 5 Minutes ago and already in love ❤
great performance as usual 🎸Very similar to Mutt Lange style and Starship (i didn't mean to stay all nite) ?There are so many Marx songs you can cover Should've know better, hold on to the nights, big boy now, endless summer nites, children of the night, take this heart, i get no sleep etc )
Awesome job! My favorite song from Richard Marx. Great tone, and more great work from Michael Landau. I'd still love to see you cover Go Away from Steve Perry. Another great song with Landau's guitar work.
Very cool to see you starting to do some Richard Marx! I once did a cover of this song but I ended up regretfully deleting it. I actually played the solo without the whammy bar effect which, as you can probably imagine, made it a lot more difficult to replicate. Looking forward to more Marx covers! 'Nothin You Can Do About it' would be interesting to see because it features Lukather.
Love this song and suprised so few have covered it. Accurate with notes and Landau's tone, thank you. Do you have the tab for this? How about a cover of 'If you don't want my love' by Richard Marx?
Hi Ben, I don't recall this song back in the day, but you gave me a better appreciation for it, which is what it's all about isn't it? Greetings from Australia.
Thanks for doing this one. I have been a RM fan since 1988 and regard Angelia as my favourite RM song. This song has a killer bridge and I always think the outro is just fantastic, as it having a superb sax solo and then a guitar solo. Now we are in an era of no solos!
Please Ben... don't you ever stop playing!
The song choices, the tone, the technique... are awesome man!!
yes the song choices made me stick around on this channel!!
That 80s tone is perfect 👌
We don’t look for old songs, we look for old memories
Anytime I hear this song I remember the girlfriend I met at Summer Camp when this song was playing! June 1990!
Absolutely beautiful. Love Richard Marx and this song Angelia outstanding. Grear work your guitar playing is beautiful to hear
It's a pitty that you don't hear those bell like chorus guitars anymore in today's music. They always are so pleasing from Hysteria to Photograph to Angelia hmmmmmm....
Landau and Dann Huff were both great with the clean and soaring sounds without a doubt. Two of the greatest….
Such a Beautiful song bro and amazing tone !!
Perfection! Richard Marx is my favorite!
Marx was my guy growing up. My father kind of scoffed at his music because it was too "middle of the road" for him, but I loved his great sound, even as a kid. It's very haunting and thoughtful music.
Woooooaaaaaa! Super great song and cover🤩🤩🤩🤩
Great choice Ben! Awesome Chorus Guitar ambience & mood. Excellent playing! 🎸🤘🏻✨
Thanks Chris!!! 😎
Love it 👌🏻 pls more Richard Marx
Best cover! You always do the best covers man! Well done 👏
Ah, you are very kind, thanks!

if he wanted the exact sound use the rockman!
@@curragh4635 A lot more than the Rockman on this.
Actually surprised you haven't covered this one before, always loved this song. Saw Richard do a solo acoustic thing, guy still has good pipes.
I've always had it on the back burner until I was able to get a decent tone to attempt it.
Now this brings be back in time. Nailed with sound and playing.
Can't play it loud enough🎸🎶🎤🎵 I love the daylights out of this song! 😍
Keep going... my friend... amazing!
As always 😍.. one of my favorites from Richard Marx
Best times.. best songs.. best cover.
In my opinion the best guitar player on TH-cam at the moment. Just incredible taste and tone. 👏🏻👏🏻
Ah you are very kind, thank you!
Once again, that was really enjoyable. You keep hitting these songs that were a special time in my life. My now wife of 33 years were dating when this came out. Many road trips were made listening to RM. Thank you.
1989 represented again! Great era to cover and Leppardize Ben.
Good job. Yeah, Marx is crazy talented. Hazard is a cool tune by him also. I didn't know this song was inspired by Hysteria. Nice.
Always loved this song 🎶 Richard Marx, beautiful song writer. 1989!! What a beautiful 🤩 gorgeous year for top 40 music! Will always treasure this! Thanks for posting this awesome 👏🏻 cover!!!
You’re a hell of a player man. Thanks
My favorite Richard Marx song.
Por fin encontré un guitarrista genial, que toque como en los 80. Ese tono es maravilloso 👍🏻🔥.
Great work as always. "Should've known better" is another RM song that may be worth covering.
one of my favourite songs of all time, a really nice surprise to see you playing it :) Would love if you could do more RM stuff sometime later!
Thanks! I love a lot of Landau’s session work but it’s only now I feel I have a decent tone to cover him.
This was so damn good. Always loved this song! Great playing. Thanks.
Awesome my friend! 👍🏻

Beautiful song, RICHARD MARX WAS A BIG PART OF THE 80s -90s
Nothing like the sound of a chorus effect 👍good job!
Great as always love your work on this classic 👏👏👏
Aaah, Richard Marx my first concert. Well, from his debut album anyway. Great tone!
One of my favorite themes interpreted, as always, in a masterful way. Excellent work! Greetings from Chile.
Landau and Lukather are my favorite 80s guitar tones.
Don't forget Dan Huff as well man !
Trevor Rabin and Paul Jackson JR.
Excellent
Time to put this album back on rotation. Nicely done!
Very nicely done
Awesome job! My favorite song from Richard Marx. Great tone, and more great work from Michael Landau. I'd still love to see you cover Go Away from Steve Perry. Another great song with Landau's guitar work.
Thanks! I’ll hopefully be making my way through Street Talk now. I covered Foolish Heart recently too.
No words to describe. Simply amazing!
Always loved the guitar in this!!! So glad you covered it. Thanks much mate!

Thanks! I learn by ear but I wrote up my own tab notes on my Patreon, linked in the pinned comment.

About time hehe
Richard Marx is bloody underrated as a song writer such as your Base Game. 🎧 🎸
