You're so right. There just isn't talent like that anymore. It's the Melodyne generation. I remember the days when you actually had to hit the right notes to be called a singer. I've been on the other side of the board now, and I can't believe what some people consider a "take". Now, it's the engineers who deserve all the accolades. Ronnie was magic, and just seeing him in the same room with Yngwie was a thrill. It's too bad they never collaborated before he lost his voice. That "Dream On" thing was sad.

In 1975, I was 15 years old sitting in the Beacon Theater awaiting Blackmore's Rainbow to hit the stage. Argent had just finished up and I was hugely excited to hear Rainbow and get to see their new drummer, Cozy Powell. When they opened the show and hit the first number, Do You Close Your Eyes, I sat amazed at the immensely powerful Ronnie James Dio. The range & power of his voice, the attitude & showmanship; floored me like no other before or since. I saw Robert Plant live many times, I saw Ozzy live many times, I saw Paul Rodgers, Steven Tyler and many, many more live onstage. No one ever commanded an audience to Rock Out with The Music like Dio. Rest In Peace RJD.

[@TerryDrumCovers1951]

I remember this very well. I am glad they recorded it this way. It was way ahead of its time back in 1985.

[@dustdevil9614]

Vivian going to synthesizer Def Leppard for Hysteria was such a loss and waste for metal. So incredible

[@Wyl7]

I guess he had to go make money somewhere after audio screwed him over.

[@Wyl7]

Err.. love some autocorrect. “Dio” screwed him over

[@dennisdawson656]

Miss you Dio

[@bigspence404]

The whole world misses him, whether they know it or not, the world is a bit more empty without his voice and intellect. RIP RJD!

[@troyevitt2437]

Not that I would wish death on Ozzy, but how Ozzy outlived Dio will go down in Black Sabbath History as a serious "WhatTheFuck?!?".

[@ronniejamesdio3929]

🤘🤘

[@folkrocksage9666]

Bloody hell, how great was Halfords vocal on this!

[@ajm9238]

Found this album at an estate sale at an elderly persons home in a box filled with old frank sinatra, nat king cole, bing crosby albums! Never thought in a million years i would find anything "metal" in that box of albums. But i said, "what the hell, im already here, might as well look just incase there is something i might like!" Man...out of that whole box of old albums i found this vinyl record in excellent condition! I couldnt beleive it! I bought it for $1.00! Best find of the year! R.I.P Ronnie James Dio!!! Thank you for all the great music!!!

[@tedmims5471]

I cant remember where I heard it or saw it but one of the guitarists that played on this video said that everyone kind of laughed when Neal Schon showed up. They were all hard core metal and considered him to be a pop star. After the first day of recording they all went to a bar afterwards and had an open mic jam session. Neal Schon got up and put on a clinic!! The next day no one laughed at Neal!!

[@personanongrata2005]

Kevin Dubrow, highly underrated!!! R.I.P.

[@robertschaffer1598]

Definitely

[@theplceforme]

@@robertschaffer1598 agreed such a powerful voice

[@jhrharrison]

11:12 RJD smoking a cigarette as Buck Dharma plays in the foreground in front of the board? No way! I've seen Jackie Wilson, Robert Plant, and now Ronnie smoking! It must be the REAL secret to great vocals!!!

[@Elaureana]

Alcohol is way worse than smoking for voices.

[@ecouture33]

It's nice to hear Dave & Adrian all the way till the end!🎸🎸

[@jimkennedy5202]

Iron Maidens rhythm section is the best of all time in my book, and Zeppelin is my favorite band

[@crusheverything4449]

Marcos Colon - Rush, anyone? Yes?John Macaluso and Randy Coven on Ark’s Burn The Sun? Okay, I might’ve taken it too far...

[@kelvinfahrenheit3691]

Neil shcon solo over them is perfect at the end

[@bellmeisterful]

Murray and Smith!!!

[@JohnHenrySheridan]

Yes that stood out to me too!

[@bertjones3235]

Smith and Murray.

[@bellmeisterful]

@@bertjones3235 Ha wow I just happen to come back now to watch this again and you just commented 4 days ago! Funny thing is, I always was the bigger fan of Murray. He looked and played cooler to me. But then I found out Adrian played a lot of the stuff I thought Dave was playing and he played the best stuff of the two. So, youre right. ☺

[@bertjones3235]

@@bellmeisterful I know. At first I thought Dave was the man. But on Live after Death, you can tell by which side of the stereo spectrum each one is in. One thing's for sure... I can't stand Janick Gers. Don't like his leads, or his looks.

[@bellmeisterful]

@@bertjones3235 Dude. Since day one that I saw Janick on stage I hated him. He was up there acting like a guitar God, doing all these guitar hero moves. Slinging his guitar around his body and worse...rubbing the guitar strings against the big speaker. And Im thinking, Murray and Smith dont do any of that silly shit and youre just a cover guitarist.

[@dennisn1672]

I agree zak. A few of these guys have passed. But never forgotten. I grew up in the best era of rock & roll. Unforgettable concerts and great days.

[@mpaulrealty]

smoking in the control room. lol remember those days

[@TailgunnerATC]

I love that harmony Iron Maiden did, unreal.

[@melvingreen5157]

Most are all out shredding but in typical maiden fashion they do it a bit different. Murray and Smith, Best guitar duo ever IMO

[@TailgunnerATC]

Adrian did an interview about it recently and said they didn't want to shred but offer something tasteful to it. And they did well.

[@MRRIllustrations]

All the guitarists were amazing - I'm a long time fan of Vivian Campbell - but Yngwie, and the Maiden twins Dave and Adrian really stood out! If only Randy could have been there :(

[@feulman65]

Randy was missing, so was Eddie. Nikki, Tommy and there's so much more that aren't here. When I saw Vince and Mick, I immediately thought "where's Nikki and Tommy"

[@KeremcanBuyuktaskin]

Dave and Adrian sadly are not actually playing on the final record.

[@MRRIllustrations]

@@KeremcanBuyuktaskin Oh, gosh, I didn't know that! That is a shame.

[@Diegostanga]

@@KeremcanBuyuktaskin how do you know?

[@PaulC39]

What about Eddie Van Halen? I wonder if he was invited or not.

[@GothamCity85]

These are the guys who caught a bad rap during the satanic panic of the 80's and it was totally unjustified. Sadly this level of pure talent and compassion is no longer found in this modern junk music we have today. Dio was truly a kind hearted individual who used his music as a vehicle to bring awareness to issues that others would have gladly ignored.

[@steveguse4481]

And now we have nothing but satanic shit and nobody says a peep

[@krzysieklesnymikunda4534]

unforgettable Dio, the best rock vocal ever!

[@fillo1971]

Ronnie R.I.P. ovunque tu sia, e aver riunito tutti questi mostri sacri del metal è stata una cosa fantastica, comprai il 45giri e credo di averlo ascoltato fino a consumare la puntina del giradischi. Ed oggi a 47 anni vedere questo video e carpire ogni cosa fatta in studio per realizzarla mi si stringe il cuore dalla gioia. Sono stati e sono tutti questi artisti i miei miti da quando avevo 10 anni ed inizia ad ascoltarli. Grazie a tutti voi per averci regalato una musica così bella. Grazie Ronnie.

[@norcalvirg]

@ 7:38 when Rob sings "We are fire" There is no doubt he is the greatest metal singer of all time. Dear lord what a series of notes......

[@SuperBoomshack]

Yawn

[@ca3317]

That was awesome. RIP Dio. Would have loved to hear paul stanley on that. Even Vince neil on a verse would been cool. As well as Blackie and nugent. That easily could have been a 10 minute song with more Solos, drum Solos and more verses but non the less it was incredible and for a great cause.

[@simonblackwood4672]

You can not help but absolutely love Ronnie, bless his soul. Some amazing voices on here but I can't get over Halfords voice... No wonder they call him the Metal God

[@thegraphicsfactory]

17:43 - 18:40 A buncha heavy metal muppets looking simultaneously over-dramatic and tired as hell. I love it. It's always a good time when the members of Spinal Tap are the most reasonable looking guys at the party. They don't make characters like this anymore.
