RockAidArmenia that's the best one 💪

[@somemango9587]

And they say that Infinity war is the greatest crossover ever. Smh.

[@barbarianpirate]

Iron Maiden, Queen, Deep Purple and Pink Floyd performing the same song?? That was the best idea I seen in many years... WAS AWESOME!!!

[@warreng3238]

barbarosoria 13 Not to mention Tony Iommi and Paul Rodgers.

[@swingingharnessofdoom8260]

Too many cooks spoil the stew.

[@ДимитърПетев]

Also Alex Lifeson is in the video. 5:17

[@adrianrodrigues1402]

And black Sabbath.

[@trevoryeo559]

You forgot Black Sabbath too

[@pgsticker]

Best thing about this -- tons of singers and guitarists-- One Bassist

[@jakefinnen8529]

+pgsticker And one guy on Hammond.

[@mzmadmike]

Yeah, but there are a handful of bassists where you'd only need one, and Squire is one of those.

[@guvenerenerdinc7242]

and the best..

[@DameonJessey]

Keith Emerson - May he RIP

[@matzekoebele]

DameonJessey don't you dare! It's fucking Chris squire!!! They both Rest In Peace nov 😓

[@1969atam]

Brian May has the most distinctive guitar sound on the track. In a blindfold test I wouldn’t know who else was on it!

[@RockAidArmenia]

100%! Thanks for Watching!

[@therealawakener7]

You've not listened to much 'Blackmore' then.

[@colinwright4139]

You should be able to make out DG and TI blondfold too.

[@haydenn680]

you could tell the Iommi rhythm parts

[@adrianhiggins6087]

gilmour has the most distinct sound and ritchie bmoore has such a distinct sound toi.

[@emrevcimen]

the most underrated video in the history of humanity

[@chrisbuttino4098]

EVC KZbin. That and "we are stars"

[@davidchambers8959]

Yes (pun intended)

[@edgarhernandez6124]

It’s underrated for people that do not like good music

[@Mosfet510]

This was good stuff! All that talent.

[@ShortFingeredShreder]

Tony Iommi, Brian May, David Gilmour, and Ritchie Blackmore playing on the same track. Holy shit.

[@NikhilPatil-ul4mk]

ikr. My mind exploded just my looking at the title.

[@fonsecorona]

ShortFingeredShreder No fucking kidding!...What are the chances of putting these guys together in a life time?

[@cesarbenavides1687]

ShortFingeredShreder About Lifeson man he's badass too!!

[@mrjacob0101]

I hate when people overlook Lifeson!

[@shezza57]

Yup

[@Asocial-Canine]

If you ever think you're sick of hearing people play this in a guitar store, just imagine what this recording session was like

[@MauvaDeXVRO]

Iommi's tone is so easy recognizible

[@bondomofo7630]

As is Brian May's!

[@WildBillHickums]

Victor Ouriques Jeff Becks the most.

[@HotEyeBallsAching]

Can't mistake Blackmore leads either.

[@jackm.9286]

because of his leather fingers

[@KJBPSkipper]

its the one with the most reverb

[@ripit.3457]

SMOOOOOOOOOKE ON THE WAAAAATAH woops

[@mandardesai]

This is like an All Star Game of Rock Legends.

[@RockAidArmenia]

Indeed! Thanks for watching!

[@ginevramazzoleni8426]

I agree with SNAFU

[@j0nax517]

You're absolutely right!

[@picturedlife1]

Brian May laying down his orchestral guitar riff. Signature move.

[@jamalmohamed6592]

Deep Purple, Queen,Black Sabbath and Pink Floyd .....the gathering of the legends

[@jamalmohamed6592]

And Iron maiden as well

[@luiscp9774]

[@leslieandrews6165]

Luis Carlos Prandini respect

[@madmaxx4178]

May > gilmour=overbends

[@DhrubajyotiRaja01]

Gilmour is much better than Brian May.....He has greatest solos like Comfortably numb,High hopes,Dogs,Time e.t.c

[@wyattleatherman3093]

I’m a little disappointed that David Gilmour didn’t get that much time to shine

[@spitfire1195]

Wyatt Leatherman same

[@rodrigogarrido5990]

WOW!!!! Keith Emerson, Chris Squire and Alex Lifeson in the same Band.

[@chetangupta5]

Tony Iommi, Brian May, Bryan Adams, David Gilmour, and Ritchie Blackmore playing on the same track. awesome

[@blumItamar]

4:03 David Gilmour on Bryan Mai "PERFECT" :))

[@theefficiale3900]

Imagine Freddie's vocals on this GAME OVA

[@NotoriousBIGeek]

Blackmore, Iommi, Gilmour, and May... guitar gods!

[@RobGravelle]

F**k yeah!

[@intentionaloffside8934]

With Alex Lifeson to fill in the gaps!

[@Dush_hnamte]

[@1504Shawn]

Members of Pink Floyd, Deep Purple, Black Sabbath, Rush, Queen, Yes and Iron Maiden together....holy fucking shit!!!!

[@domenicoverdelli2850]

In this song Brian May is extraordinary

[@williamhanley472]

The level of badassery is immense

[@davidesquivel5194]

Absolutely!!!

[@artanywhere7256]

Brian's guitar, so beautifully distinctive, it stood out amongst that revered crowd

[@guileweaver4691]

Brian May with The Red Special can outsing the Singers !

[@patrykkot8116]

I saw May, Gilmour, Iommi and Blackmore together, now i can rest in peace

[@mrjacob0101]

With Squire on bass, and Dickinson on vocals! And I would also add with Lifeson on Rhythm.

[@timwhite5562]

I'll say, seeing Gilmour, May and Iommi playing together is like a unicorn moment.

[@SorooshMhs]

Probably the most epic thing happened in the history of music

[@xorovats]

I was a baby in Armenia when the earthquake struck. Forever grateful

[@rubberduck8065]

You know you've been a Queen fan for too long to know when Brian and Roger is playing without even watching the video.

[@valdivall6515]

Yup. His unique guitar sound makes me realized "Are Brian May on the guitar?" and i rewind the video and true. He played the guitar

[@scottthesportsguy]

Yep, because Brian built his guitar, it has an absolutely unique sound...unmistakeable when you hear it.

[@roosterinboro]

you will burn for dissing the Old Girl Red Special. I can't wait...Aug 2nd they're coming to Nashville. I have floor seats next to the runway. If Brian does anything acoustic I'll be 10ft away.

[@runtwer5700]

That's how I felt except it was with Iommi and Dickinson because I've been a Sabbath and Maiden fan for as long as I can remember. They stick out like a sore thumb, definitely not in a bad way.

[@cesarbenavides1687]

Justin Hoglund Iommi and Gillan!!🖒

[@hbuss12]

Each of these guitarist sounds and tones stick out so well, Iommi's heavy tone, May's unique sound and Gilmour's as well as others.

[@SARCASM_IS_MY_FIRST_NAME]

This is the Best version of Smoke on the Water.

[@samvimes2821]

FUSION ROUSH Now only if they had had some better drums, and an Iommi solo...

[@Cotramjoxxx]

Made in Japan... This is a funny version.

[@danielschyttelvik6104]

Made in japan? dude thats the best live version EVER

[@Elagabalus711]

Man Brian May killed it!

[@vitaliylaryushin]

ПРЕВОСХОДНО!!! Это - настоящий ДРАЙВ, настоящий HARD-ROCK, сколько позитивной энергетики и безупречного исполнительского мастерства! Один из ЛУЧШИХ джэмов с участием мировых рок-звёзд! Отдельная благодарность потрясающему гитаристу, автору и исполнителю такой замечательной композиции - Ritchie Blackmore, а также всем участникам этого джэма! Такая вещь не может оставить равнодушным истинных ценителей настоящей рок- музыки и исполнения, в котором каждая нотка, каждый ньюанс исполненный как вокально, так и инструментально точно вписывается в общую линию композиции, исполнен с безукоризненной точностью и к месту, просто ''нет слов'' эмоции переполняют! Smoke on the Water - шедевр и хит на все времена!!!

[@clockworkgirl7387]

I would have a fucking heart attack if I saw all those legends in one room...

[@chrisbuttino4098]

Clockwork Girl I'd burst into flames

[@aviacus6010]

Same

[@mainadas]

OMG... Legends Legends Legends

[@alansmith9948]

Brian May and Tony Iommi stand out, Gods of guitars!!!

[@danielcooper1294]

Sad to think that Freddie was alive at this point, but probably too ill to turn up. I think that from the way Brian looks at times, it might be wearing down on him.

[@BHHartman]

Brian's Red Special should be an instrument in and of itself... there's literally nothing else like it.

[@Syan4eva]

Paul Rodgers What an incredible voice

[@markgowans]

Paul Rogers is a great singer but I really didnt like him singing Smoke on the water. Interesting fact about Paul Rogers is that Ritchie Blackmore wanted him in Deep Purple to replace Ian Gillan before finally settling on David Coverdale. Paul coundn't do it because Bad Company had just been formed.

[@mikewalton5469]

Bruce Dickinson is on fire!

[@aruchaalvarucha6930]

haha yeh!

[@fallyfrog]

Yeah ! *-*

[@frankieshankly703]

Isnt he allways ? :)

[@averagemetalhead9962]

He is THE BEST singer that have existed on earth, what did you expected from the GOD Bruce Dickinson?

[@VictorSilva-qf2tu]

ExG_RockN'Metal Lyric videos and more \m/ Best metal singer.

[@SuperAnthony82]

i honestly believe Brian May is absolutely out of this world....you can see how Gilmour smiles after Brian has just had another light-of-speed solo......that is totally unbelievable...i love Brian style...totally unique, so so fucking beautiful!

[@soundgardener4940]

Thanks, but please: _GET. THE. FLIPPIN'. NAME. RIGHT... _Rock on!_ Dr. Sir Brian Maiden (OBE, PHd, \m/) *Knight-Protector of Her Majesty's Badgersty | Royal Axeman of Queen | Inventor of Accidental Speed Metal (1974) | Timelord*

[@gmbgret1]

Stunning assembly of Rock Gods. What a sound. Roger Taylor kicking ass on drums - he would have rocked on vocals and added a whole other dimension. Brian May making the Old Lady sing and showing the rest what for. Nice legs too.

[@danielvasquez7109]

The God's of rock n roll have spoken.

[@madman2028]

A fantastic amount of talent in one studio.

[@serdarserttop4207]

4:05 - David's reaction to Brian "Perfect" CUTE AF :D

[@MrSoulauctioneer]

+Serdar Serttop I think he also said something like ''damn, he's fast'' at one point.

[@sherwinfernandes2642]

Larry Magee in my ass

Larry Magee David Gilmour

drstatic401 sounds like Rock University :-)

[@atroticious]

The Red Special is so recognizable! It just shines among other guitars

[@kevinsenquiz8735]

Awesome to see Christopher Squire playing his rumbling bass!

[@philsnyder9873]

Man this looked like a lot of fun. Gilmour and May were clearly enjoying themselves too much!

[@Megadeth1983Fan]

Bruce Dickinson: "Smoooke on the Waaate-Whoops!" :D

[@elisabethacronqvist7859]

Bruce just can't be serious than more of two minutes. and because of that I love him.

[@jorgevalente2186]

Angelique Laforese CT vi vi no vi

[@chasependleton1161]

Chris Squire man, what. A. Bassist. Though he's not too loud in the mix here, you can still hear some of his subtle accents poking through. This is awesome

[@puko9415]

He should've sang too, he has such a nice voice.

[@AdmiraHax]

Roger and Brian killin' it.

[@Wouter1092]

All Legends! 🎶 3:51 Brian, you May live Forever!! 🎶🎶

[@GuitarLessonsBobbyCrispy]

This is amazing! So did Ritchie Blackmore have to teach these guys how to play Smoke on the Water? lol.

[@olekkroc7268]

Ohhh my dear Roger and Brian

[@s_p_onarge8720]

Brian may is just too good. I mean, they're all awesome but may is just a legend!

[@stevenshropshire5819]

That is called a major super group!!

[@teekey1754]

"Cream" of the crop.

[@Reaper-3000]

Not only is Brian May's Guitar skills unprecedented but he is one clever dude. Astronomer, Mathematician among others..look it up..awesome

[@paularthur3623]

the best smoke on the water performance ever!!!

[@rishavmitra6444]

Internet done right...

[@erwinhadicandra]

This is what i called a MASTERPIECE

[@josoma123]

En 1989, los músicos de Pink Floyd, Queen, Rush, Deep Purple, Black Sabbath, Yes y Iron Maiden se unieron para recaudar fondos para los afectados de un terremoto en Armenia. Se lo llamó "el mayor arsenal de talento de rock” jamás reunido.

[@mrimmortalis]

I have never heard this version, but now i am stunned. Awesomeness at its best.

[@SignOfCross]

Bruce Dickinson perfect as always \m/

[@MCtheultiMO]

I think this song needs more Cowbel...

[@meneocuskill3371]

Ha Ha Saturday Live!

[@lokivaderzerberus6166]

[@adampetten5349]

[@TheJeffman1985]

This is an AMAZING rendition of the song!!!!! How have I never heard this before!

[@pinkzeppelinjam]

The Anthem of my Youth! Thanks Deep Purple! Thanks to all these Iconic Rock musicians for their powerful rendition!

[@guilhermetonon7267]

the sound of the gilmour´s guitar is awesome

[@agostinoimperatore1158]

Brian May,the God of guitar with the best guitar ever,Red Special.His sound is so peculiar.

[@hatmap]

R.I.P. Chris Squire!

[@RockAidArmenia]

hatmap Having Chris in the studio was the biggest highlight of organising the whole Rock Aid Armenia project for me. Having dinner with him and Geoff after was a Yes fans dream :) Thanks for posting on the video. Best regards, Jon Dee

[@blica1]

hatmap I had absolutely no idea Chris Squire had passed away.. The rock world just lost one of the best bassists in the history of rock music..

[@garethhayes3470]

RockAidArmenia: wasn't there a "mayhem" mix of this that most heavily featured the playing of Brian May,or is my memory playing tricks on me?

[@markymarco2570]

hatmap iii

[@jamesreedy8793]

Yes is such an amazing band

[@leighburne4098]

Normally big ensemble pieces like this end up being disappointing, but this one's great. Everyone's clearly having a ball and the music gels.

[@MichaelBrown1776]

Awesome! Chris Squire on bass, perfect!

[@Frankincensedjb123]

Floyd, Rush, Sabbath, Queen, Purple, Yes ... Throw in Zep and you’ve got all my favorite rock bands wow!

[@iansmith8783]

Wow so much talent in one room.

[@sarahosbourne4725]

4:04 DAVID IS THE MOST AMZING PERSON IN THE EARTH

[@char3808]

Bruce Dickinson's vocals are outstanding!

[@tsopuaifa]

Brians guitar sounds just amazing... as usual.

[@buentiosi]

La Mejor Versión del Smoke On The Water de todos los Tiempos. Jodidamente Insuperable.

[@MrKennyanders]

Why haven't I seen this until now? I cannot believe what I just saw and heard. BLOWN AWAY

[@techn44]

This is really a MAGIC song. After decades of listening (and playing) it, I still have goose bumps when I hear it. Especially played by such an EPIC LINEUP!

[@ampiko68]

Ian Gillan & Brian May shine through!

[@DoctorBlankenstein]

7 different band members playing a song by another band, writen about Frank Zappa. Gotta love it...

[@davidesquivel5194]

The HYMN of Rock, writen about the disaster of Frank Zappa's band and Montreaux's casino by the greatest heavy rock group of all times, my friend...

[@markgowans]

Smoke on the water isn't about Frank Zappa. Its about an incident that happened during deep purple recording machine head. Frank Zappa had just finished a set at the same place Deep Purple were due to play and thats why he's mentioned in the song.

[@rayh7046]

NOT about Frank Zappa!!!!

[@MrMudEagle]

That Ian Gillan tone is unmistakable. It really stands out in the crowd.

[@thegoatgotmilked373]

Toni, Ritchie and Brian in the same band. I like that! They should have formed a supergroup.

[@Jake_AC]

It would have been amzing if may and gilmour had have do more togeher. they are both such soulful, melodic, players and would sound amazing together

[@Krrrimmi]

I miss this era. The longhair era of Rock & METAL. \m/

[@xristinazerva]

Love Roger's drumming😍

[@juanartime1773]

What a great singer Bruce Dickinson is

[@thankyou4beingnice2me96]

Too many legends in one room

I like how lifeson looks like he has as much fun playing a simple blues song as he does playing epic rush music.

[@guilhermem.7085]

This gig ROCKS!!! Amazing performances!!

[@scandalousblue]

this vid definitely made me realize how unique the red special sounds. i'm no guitar expert, but brians solo was heavenly.
