Welder Up - "Recharge Vegas"
Вставка
- Опубліковано 4 тра 2020
- Being a native of Las Vegas, Steve Darnell, founder of WelderUp, was finding it very hard to see the energy of Las Vegas fade due to the COVID-19 pandemic. As he drove the vacant strip completely alone, he felt a great need to send a message of hope. He reached out to Michael Gaskell, Director + DP of MG Studio, a local production company, and expressed his thoughts and feelings. The two then collaborated with Kyle Creek aka “The Captain”, creative director, to help finalize the concept. The end result is this video titled “Recharge Vegas”. Although we know it cannot be rushed, we are looking forward to a “safe” reopening of Las Vegas. We at WelderUp are in great anticipation of the energy and excitement of Las Vegas to return. Viva Las Vegas!

This looks like a trailer to a post apocalyptic kick ass movie. Outstanding Job Steve.
Yeah perfect!
It's like... I've had enough of your lockdown
That thing looks so fitting driving around empty (post apocalyptic like) Vegas.
I can see the headlines now .... “Steve Darnell single handedly opens up Las Vegas”......
1 day later
Steve OWNS vegas
If anybody could, it would be him!!!
Thanks Andy, Thanks Dustin for your comments! Headlines, that's funny! Steve owns Vegas! Love it! LOL, LOL
Kick ASS video. Outlaws never die, they just become LEGENDS.
Facts
Couldn't agree more!!!!!!!
Ahh the sandlot Well done kid
thank you for taking the time to do this.alot of people have forgotten what original you tube was like and this is what i invision still, just a great time shootin with friends adn a killer sound track to boot. stay safe and take care
Very cool Steve, First time I've seen the strip that empty, scary.
Awesome video. That might be the baddest welding rig I’ve ever seen.
Your the “MAN” - Darnell for President !!!! Yeh ha brother
Surprised nobody put you in a movie. I'm going to have to give that one of my top all-time favorite videos.
Thanks a lot marc. I appreciate your comment.
@@WelderUpVegas Steve, Do some more like that!
What's up with the weld school? Is it on line or you waiting for the covid to blow over
To have a class setting?
Hang in there Steve..
Thank you for all your great ideas.
It's all temporary....
Nicely done Steve( and all who created the video), you said it all with out saying a word. Take care and keep turning out the great creations we've all grown to love you for!
Thank you kindly Ron! Appreciate it!
Damn badass video!!!!
A lot of people forget ingenuity and making parts on your own and going to a junkyard to finding what you need. Steve is just using whatever he can find to incorporate in his stuff and keeping it old school, and that's one of the reasons why I watch the show and these videos. Keep it up Steve!!
Thanks Jacob!
This is honestly the best covid hope video I’ve seen great work brotha love that rig 🤙
Cool truck
Totally kick ass. I’m from Canada but all for Darnell for President
LOL! Thanks Greg, made me smile.
This looks like a trailer for a future tv show. Awesome film work and music.
Very cool vid Steve...stay strong friend...just another scar..so to speak... to say you have survived ...what doesn't kill you just makes you stronger....great tunes...
WELDER UP!!!! GETTERDUHN! ... 🤙 WOW !!! I have to agree with a lot of of people .. This video is GREAT ! What I like is .. its very simple and strait to the point .. with out actually sayin a word ... from the way it was filmed , to your truck , to rollin down the strip alone , to looking like you were goin to rope a bull (or pull drag one off ) .. yet it was you lighting it back up with your awesome Rig .. simply GREAT! This one of my favorite videos I have seen in general , I can't say enough ... thank you .. never give up .. never give in 🤜
Thanks Shane!
Wow, your film crew knocked that out of the park. I don't live anywhere near Vegas, but I have a feeling that community needed that video. Pumped me up. Color grading on that was fabulous. So well done! Thanks for sharing!
Ugh, kinda in love. My dad made me watch this and he absolutely gushed about the time Steve ran over and complimented a Blazer that my dad helped work on. Also just love the dynamic of this video.
The editing on this is top notch. The transition between two different versions of the same song is seamless.
You did a pretty good job of that truck and I still love
That was 4min of cool. Thanks Steve we will prevail. I really think this is the end of made in China made in Hong Kong and made in Taiwan. All American all metal, wood and hand made is back. Hell yea.
Vegas!!! We miss you!!!!!!!⭐️🚘🍻🍴🎪🎼🎭. Great video
Steve old buddy, if there was one guy who could sum up all the crazy crap we have all been going thru I just knew you wouldn't let me down,
From one Old Outlaw to another brother.....well done......well done !
I have to say I love this video bad ass
I could see Steve Darnell opening up Vegas. He is badass.
I am a fan from Brazil!. I like every kind of job you make. We here doesn't have the expertise but we are trying...
We are trying!
Keep the awesome work!
Don't let anything stop you...
Your correct, absolutely keep trying and work for perfection. Thanks Tetsu LCL for watching from Brazil.

My parents live there and I consider it my second home since I have been visiting Vegas for 30 years. A friend sent me your video. Your message of hope is wonderful and very much appreciated. BTW...love your truck! Please stay safe and healthy.

Spooky.. gives you goosebumps.. erie.. short and to the point.. dig it! Nailed ot with the song choice. Masterpiece. More more more
Bad ass. Nice work!
BadAss video. I feel for everyone affected by this pandemic. Mostly for our first line workers. It has to be deeply embedded in their souls to go to work every day to help those in need.
This has changed our world. And each and every one of us.
Peace!
Stay healthy!
So true Frank. Thanks for your comment!
This changed nothing now we are prisoners in our own goddamn towns cities countries homes this is a scamdemic we need a spine like Steve here period.
WOW!!! Steve Darnell, that was awesome!! It was like watching a great Steve McQueen or John Wayne movie!!!
Thank you for the motivational video!!!
Simply put, BadAss!!!!
Awesome video. Add a big V plow from a road grader and you've got a great intro to a zombie apocalypse movie
Probably the best 5 minutes of UA-cam Ive ever watched, Cant wait to get back to your shop and see the crew.
Bonjour Steve,
Excellent ! Pictures and music go perfectly together, you ave shown there another skill.
Now, wouldn't we call you "Mad Steve" :+)
Amicalement, Raphaël
I remember watching this video when you put it up 12 month ago a whole world away from where iam now. I feel like I been I been living in my own personal mad max wasteland watching your stuff has kepted me going though the darkness period my life. It cool to see the vibrant las Vegas culture. My local culture and community feels to gradually being push out of existences the traditional English village green. Iam come from an arkupeligo of villages east of oxford city the place Tolkien set the shire and home of Edward the confessor the first king to unite England under one throne. my home is set upon on in every direction with the endless driven demands for more houses for London the area iam from I personnel feel should be a UNESCO world heritage site I still maintain my local tradition the mummers play the first form of pantomime it's very misunderstood into today's modern globalised world but its been in existence since before man ever set foot on the islands of new Zealand. One of our performers loves visiting the the palace hotel in Vegas he always wanted to take out show on that road I dout he will ever get the opportunity but its cool dream
Hi Rob, Las Vegas is still under a mask mandate. Covid has been devastating to many. The people are starting to come back but with much caution. Sounds as if London is growing with houses everywhere much like it is here. I loved visiting London, it is beautiful there and the people were great.
Like you, what I do is not appreciated by all. But I continue to perfect what I do and enjoy it everyday. Keep up the dream it's not impossible. Thanks for watching and for your comment.
Steve, at the time of watching this, there were 3 dislikes. What kind of unAmerican asshat would thumb down?! Man, this situation is temporary, but we both know things will be different when this finally passes. Stay true to yourself brother, and what you love! America will need men like you to get the world straightened out again...
2 words.....BAD ASS....thank you Steve, awesome video, awesome truck, God bless America and everyone out there, we're all getting through this together, everyone has a little WELDERUP in them
Awesome video!! One day I want to meet you !! You are a badass lol
BATTLE BORN AND RAISED!

America needs this spark of power might need a bigger welder though to power it all up awesome video
Welder up fantastic video. Steve I loved the old time look into and the slow drive into a empty strip. Should get an award for this one.
As a welding student this is the most badass thing I’ve seen in a while

Awesome!!!!! Sometimes you can make a point without saying a word!!!
I've been watching you for along time ,and admire your art with metal and the skill you put behind your craft which the work says it all ,I've even knew a man like you who kicked like a mule but let it be said when they put in your hands never to complain when it was done ,Now that this might sound like I'm looking for something ,but to walk away with your wheels under my ass, And the gears to put down the road I would go dreams do happen , thanks for making that possible!
Kevin, I don't know what to say to that. What a huge compliment you have given me, one that I feel is undeserved. Thanks for your kind words. I truly appreciate it. Means a lot! Thanks for watching.
@@WelderUpVegas I'm with Kevin! Been watching since the twiggy days! Cool builds! Really like the ride alongs to go buy parts from the drunk guy! He cracks me up every time!🙈
So surreal 💕 awesome video! Looking forward to Vegas in the future and your tour🤗
You must have the best job ever.the cars and trucks you build are just mind blowing. If I had the money I would buy a truck off you they're are that good
Love the message and the tone of the vid. We need more of this right now. Sometimes the desperato becomes the hero. Really enjoyed the vid and hope to see more soon
Probably the coolest video I've seen in a long time. Very long time...
That video was off the charts. Welderup is a must see whenever you are in Vegas!!
Fully sick brother
Steve, you are badass, love it 😊
Thanks Kevin, appreciate it!
Fantastic Video. Perfect soundtrack. Just great
Steve this is absolutely amazing. So much love for this video and all you do! You’re one hell of a guy! I love this version of the song! You killed it with this one!
Corona isn't ready for a 12valve p pump. Mega vid Steve!! 👍
Great video !! Really puts things in perspective. Made me teary eyed, seeing the Vegas we love, like this, is sad. Praying everyone is okay. We will beat this thing. Stay safe everyone.
Awesome video Steve!
I've spent a lot of time in Vegas, more as a local than a tourist. Really enjoy the city, people and surrounding area. Very excited to get back down there. Stay strong Vegas you'll get through this.
A great moody and atmospheric film. Great stuff 👍
