The Midnight - Sunset (Leppardized Guitar Cover)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 1 вер 2023
- I think it was around 2016 when I first started getting into 'synthwave' and I remember it being quite exciting and refreshing to hear that type of music. The excitement started to fade when I realised that a lot of it was essentially 'electronic dance music' but with 80's sounding synths and production. The Midnight were one of the few artists doing actual songs and I rank them the best in that genre. 'Jason' was the first track I heard and ever since I've been a big fan. I have fond memories of listening to their 'Kids album over the summer of 2018. We had a good summer in Scotland and it was the soundtrack to twilight nights, walking to my car after a late or night shift at Edinburgh Airport. :)
Anyway, really fun track to play that has some quite challenging guitar work already, especially the last solo lick, but I thought I would add a little more in the Leppardized style. 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 bwmguitarlessons@gmail.com address. Please get in touch if you want help playing the music you love. / bwm5150
broooo no way, i love this song, i'd never think this is your sort of music.
Right? I saw the title of the song and was like wait… you mean like “THE MIDNIGHT” The Midnight???
there are lots of quality retro synth bands and artistes producing what is essentially quality melodic 80s style rock!
This is the most unexpected crossover in the history of crossovers.
😂😂😂most definitely!!!
Another absolutely great one is Running In The Night by FM-84. The video is equally stunning!
I just compared this and the original and I gotta say, the song sounds so magical with that 80s touch. Superb!
I've never heard this song. I wouldnt even give it a chance on a normal day but it said "Leppardized" so I had to check it out. Great job, bro. I loved it.
I just found this and wanted to note for the youngers that in the 70s and 80s we did not separate genres like is done today, so we got exposed to many different styles, and benefitted as a result! I'm a 70s Classic Rocker foremost, but I love the 80s, too, along with Yacht Rock and "synth wave" which is simply a nostalgic head bowing to the 80s new wave. Love it all!
Planning to see this particular band in September!

Keep it coming
Cool Bro. & Please do more Danger² songs
Thank you.
@bwn5150 How do you get your tone it’s sounds great
are these in tab or sheet music/chords?
Only just read how you found this band 2016. Compelled me to tell you I was very fortunate to live the US in the late 80's. I was 22. 'Pour some sugar' was just out and I was into heavy rock. One night a girl took me on a date. She drove us to Atlantic City and played the midnight the whole way as the sky turned turquoise. I fell hard for her that summer night. Keep playing those banging tunes bmw!❤
🤩👏👏👏 that was amazing Ben 🎸🎧 cheers 🥂 your journey fan always 🎶🎶🤩
One of my favorite UA-camrs covering my favorite band. Today just got a whole lot better ❤❤❤❤
This is the 5th time I am listening to this track.. Good stuff.. Love from Canada..
Nicely done! I'd never even heard of The Midnight until now so that's me off on a wild search to add more CDs to the collection. Thanks again for introducing me to new bands, much appreciated!
Great!! in the choice of covers you embody the essence of my musical tastes. I was sure that sooner or later you would also pass through this territory. It is the physiological evolution of the AOR 80's tastes to arrive here. There is a vast world of music to discover in Synthwave New Retro, even if the best period was right at the turn of 2015.
No f'ing way! I didn't think anyone knew this song. Man you have the best taste and out of this world talent.
This whole thing is amazing but starting at 3:40....🔥🔥🔥. Def Leppard was the music of my teens......you nailed it!
WOOOOAH! I love this song so much! Killer cover!!! ❤
It’s a goody
Love listening to the midnight driving through the mountain of Pennsylvania
This is just what my Friday needed!! A Super Monaco Midnight Mash-Up....EPICNESS of the highest quality mate...now where's the repeat button!👌 ❤
Wow.. Another of my favorite bands (The Midnight) and amazong cover by you... its a double treat..
This song was great before but now that I found this version it just got 10 times better. Great work on this!!!!
love this song and have watched you for years, great to see you covering the midnight. you should do change your heart or die or heart worth breaking. very def leppard/whitesnake vibes to it.
simply: amazing man ! great version... cheers from Brazil
Love the midnight. Great work as always
Hell yeah dude. I love jamming to the midnight. Sick playing as usual
Amazing choice. One of my favorites from this band. The keyboards are so gorgeous and dreamy. But most of all your guitar work is superb. Fantastic playing and tone like always.
amazing!!!! this song, a masterpiece in itself, just got juicier!!!
I’ve never heard this song before… But it is great! Awesome take on this song as well Ben.
I love The Midnight and this song is one of my favorite. You really added a special element to the track. Love it brother. Thanks for sharing.
DUDE! This is multidimensional RAD. Something by Timecop1983 like Girl with some Hysteria vibes would be equally as cool.
My new favorite Internet guitarist, and one of my favorite bands of all time? Amazing.
Very kind, thank you!
Lovely job as usual Ben outstanding
Nothing but "Win" in this video. Awesome.
Love it ❤ This song is very suitable to enjoy when you are traveling at night 🙌🏻🍻
Yes brother!!
Wait what... this is just awesome.. let's Leppardized everything ❤
Awesome. Inspired choice! Was just listening to the Midnight's new live album, and without question think everything should be Leppardized. Made my night. Thanks, Ben!
Anyone interested and new to The Midnight, Endless Summer is a great entry point. And, the entire album straight through Hysteria style tells a kind of story. Comeback Kid is another hit, and a great second song to listen to after Sunset.
Ben, I think I've seen a pic of Tim McEwan sporting a Def Leppard shirt around the time when he started to play a drum kit.
Btw, saw the Stadium Show a few weeks ago. The Diamond Star Halos tracks really freshen up the playlist and for right in. Amazing show, and best band ever (and they actually have a good time).
Would be awesome if you did a UA-cam with Rocknchippy, Phil's guitar tech John, and Phil, of course. Just think it may be awesome for you.
I'm not familiar with this song, but it sounds fantastic. Especially with that guitar. Nice job Ben.
I've just been watching miami vice and this could easily have been playing in one of the episodes.
Have you ever thought of trying to leppardize Jane wiedlins song, rush hour?
If anyone can do it, it's you Ben.🙌
Thanks! Certainly one to consider, cheers!
@@bwm5150 there's a guy on UA-cam. He's called British dave Grohl.
He did a drum cover and it sounds awesome.
I think it might have been a drum machine on the original song, but he went all out on the cover.
That's what made me think, if he can do that with the drums, you would smash it with the guitar. 👍
Beautiful guitar tone!!
Always one of my Jam Along Bands. Good job Sir 👏 👍🏼
Seeing them live in Detroit on October 3rd I can't wait! My second time seeing them! Great cover!
Such a fantastic band
That was great...wonderful tone
Mission accomplished. Nicely played sir.🤘🤘
Simply gorgeous! 🤩
Man. I'm really happy you made this video. I'm a big fan of synthwave since... well forever i guess. This song is just fantastic and your version is the like the cherry on top. Spot on as always. Keep running!!!
I had forgotten about The Midnight! Leave it to you to dig a classic like this up and put your awesome spin on it. Nice work!!! 👍💪🤘🍻
Fantastic work Ben..Been listening to a lot of Synth bands like these to remember the good ole days..And this is a bangin tune. We still wait for Super Monaco though 🤘🏼
Late to the party giving this one a listen. Your tone really drives this one for me. That outro riff is phenomenal!
Ahh thanks Evan! Yeah really pleased with this one but it’s such it great song anyway 😁
great guitar cover. Love the Midnight and this song. Still remember the first summer a couple years ago I found this song. Great memories
Yesss!! I love this! Keep on rocking friend
Awesome!!!! Congrats, you nailed it
WOW that solo is insane! Great Job Ben!
Excellent work man !! Bravo. Cleeeen playing !!!!
Such an amazing touch to this cool song! 🔥
Wow bro, this is may fav band!...Thank you very much
Magic, Love it mate
Amazing as always
Great job, man!
Just excellent. Love this song. Perfect cover.
Awesome!
Been listening to The Midnight A LOT last year. I did not think you would cover it. But seeing this now, it makes perfect sense. Have you heard of a band called Chvrches. Can you cover one of their songs? Prefereably Empty threats. but up to my friend. Love this channel so much. Thank you for doing these.
Thanks! Certainly a possibility. There’s so many tracks to cover and so little time. 🥲
brooo great job, i love the midnight music
Damn Ben! So good. Love it!
Incredible great band they are so good live
that outro......*chefs kiss*
Omg so good ❤
OH MY GOD!
loved it !
Just, wow
I'm not surprised you like synthwave... you love beautiful music and I know it ...
Great song
Awsome version, I bet Alphaville - Big In Japan might be a Leppardized worth
Great job!
Excelente amigo muy buena canción
Very Nice Ben! ❤❤❤
This one was a pleasant surprise! Definitely has drops of “Animal” sprinkled all over
Soooooo good man!!!
Yesss!!!!!!
Sooooo sickkkkk! Please tell me you've tabbed this!
I will have my notes up on my Patreon soon! :)
The Midnight and Gunship are the top 80's synthwave groups IMO. Again, great work, mate! I wonder what you'd make of Shadow Fury or Tech Noir buy Gunship?
Thanks! Maybe a possibility.
Rock on dude! I dig the sound of that! 👍👍👍
This is absolut great !!!!😮😅
Awesome!!
Beautiful :)
Like you I have loved The Midnight since "Jason", and this was a pleasant surprise! As a recommendation, check out the band The Strike, start with Nothing New IMO, I'm sure you'd dig! Cheers!!
Awesome
The Midnight is my favorite synthwave band :) you always do awesome covers. Have you heard "Change Your Heart or Die"?
Thanks! I haven’t, will need to check those out. 😁
Super amooo ✨💛
Eres un campeon! You are a champion!
Omg!!! Stylish🤌
I love the Midnight. Such a great match for what you do! I would love to hear you Leoppardize "Los Angeles"
Well played, nice tone aswell :)
😊👍🏼 very good
Can you do heart worth breaking? Loved this one ❤
If you can please do jason. That entire sax solo screams of possible leppardisation
Would love to. Still my favourite track of theirs.
Greetings from Indonesia🇮🇩
Muy buen tema. Saludos desde Paraguay 🇵🇾
Have you ever thought of doing a Cock Robin song. A band I have always loved but found an audience in Europe and were very minor here state side. I just remember listening to their CDs from an older brother's friends collection.
No yet, but maybe in the future.
