Claude Schnell keyboard solo live in Philly 1986

[@Stratonini]

Claude Schnell is one of those unsung hero's of metal. His Keyboard solo in All The Fools Sailed Away is one of the best key solos EVER.

Stratonini DUDE!! YESS!!!!!!

[@chewybacha9853]

Thanks @Stratonini ! Even after all these years, that's still nice to hear. So while I'm humbled by your kind words, I thank you for them all the same... Cheers dude! 🤘😎🤘 =;-{>

Yoooo, you are a legend of Rock n' Roll, All The Fools Sailed Away went to another dimension with such magic powers, that solo sounded to me like I was in a Castlevania castle fighting armored knights in the middle of the hall. Pure magic@@chewybacha9853 Salutes from Brazil.

Nice 80's sounds for this solo. :-) I saw him live in Finland in 1987 Giants of Rock.

Sadly underappreciated by Ronnie Dio (RIP) and others but make no mistake Mr. Schnell is/was a supreme virtuoso. He was the Keith Emerson (RIP) and Jon Lord (RIP) of heavy metal keyboard playing. Dio's classic sound was the amazing synergy between Ronnie's (RIP) voice, Vivian;s guitar playing and Claude's keyboard playing. Mr. Schnell is a monster keyboard player.

One of the greatest keyboard players EVER!!! This was the "Eruption" of keyboard solos!

[@garbagemanify]

I saw this in Cleveland...... It blew my mind!!!!.....Unsung hero of metal for sure!!!

[@tomycavalera6748]

His work with akira takasaki was incredible

[@r.g.armstrong2688]

He was a fundamental part of the original Dio’s magic sound🤘🏻

[@SeanTolan_illuminated_imaging]

[@skeletorment]

+Sean Tolan Man, how times have grown retarded since those coveted days.

[@DCMcNeilJr]

around the 2:30 mark he plays the outro of the credits portion of the Stars video by Hear N Aid. Nice snippet. Awesome.

[@seanoakes3688]

The keyboard solo wasn't on the Sacred Heart VHS. Luckily it was re-released on DVD where you could watch this and a few more songs.

[@silva2094]

4:50 was epic af.

[@vaneipontes3279]

[@swanny3382]

Awesome

[@Perfectcheeseberger]

2:30 is so badass I must learn it!.

[@kilchmann68]

this is Roxette, they made a Little song called listen to your heart out of it 3 years later...

[@cheapguitardude]

I always thought he looked like Ron Jeremy. Awesome solo, anyways! \m/

[@mjadrnak]

At 2:37 I'm pretty sure Roxette stole that part.

[@seanoakes3688]

I believe that part was in the Hear N' Aid video credits for the "Stars" music video.

[@СВ44]

Heart - What about love

[@Elfenastics]

2:30 which song is this part from?

[@SilverTounge85]

I have always wondered the same question. Sounds like something from Miami Vice or something.

[@azimuth361]

It sounds like the same chords as Stars, from the Hear 'n Aid project.

[@maxmustardman298]

I hear Roxette, but I guess it's the Stars intro ;)

[@kilchmann68]

Roxette, listen to your heart 1989. 3 years later...

[@moondancer6852]

It's the same music used at the end credits of the Hear'n Aid video. Search for the 45 minute version and you'll find it.
