WTF?! I love Daughtry but this is awful. Not only does it sound horrible, and one should NEVER attempt a Def Leppard cover, at the very least acknowledge who the song is originally by. Def Leppard is never given credit in this whole video and it pisses me off. Nobody, not even Chris, holds a candle to Joe Elliott, Rick Savage, Phil Collen, Rick Allen and Vivian Campbell/Steve Clark. I still love ya Chris but just lost a little respect.
Oh, Jesus. Chris, I love you but put down the Def Leppard and back away slowly. Vocally you don't hold a candle to Joe Elliott, even at 50. And even as much as I love listening to Santana's own stuff...no. The only person who should ever play the solo to Photograph is Phil Collen. So yeah...Def Leppard covers are not your thing.
@Ortonmaniac: If you knew your Lep, Phil did ALL the solos on this, although Steve's rhythm work was commendable. DL's best guitar work came from Phil. Period.
the vocals are awesome! i just want to know why everyone holds santana up on a pedastal. he's not the best guitarist. tthe best i've heard in years is warren cuccurullo. he's far superior to santana. listen to some of his playing. he knows how to make a guitar sing. santana always plays that same warbling rift. he's got nothing else. good song though.
@saltintherainbow listen to santana pre-1999. i have no clue what your talking about with that "warbling riff" or who the fuck warren cucaracha is, but carlos santana is a true Guitar Hero, and has been for decades. just cause you dont know it doesnt mean its not true. and dont judge him on his shit post-1999, post-supernatural, cause that fucking album ruined the legitimacy of his career as he was by that point just trying to make a buck (and still is)
Everybody talks about how good new singers like Daughtrey and Lambert and those guys are, but nobody talks about how good Joe Elliott (original Def Leppard) was. Rock and roll is where the great singers are....David Coverdale, Mercury, Plant, Sebastian Bach, etc. Good cover, but the guitars don't have the melody Steve Clark had when he played. Def Leppard can't even play this song as good as they could with Steve.
oh I know..... it's just this song was extremely popular and some other songs weren't as popular and some people redid it and it hit the tops of the charts.

Yo Daughtry, lose the vibrato. You're a singing god with an unfortunate introduction to the world on a karaoke show.
