We Rock Jimmy Bain's Last performance Last in Line

We had the privilege of seeing Jimmy Bain and last in line at the Def Leppard Pre-Party and they were one of the highlights from this trip!!! R.I.P. Jimmy

[@montster42]

You can see its painful for Jimmy up there. He just looks zapped of energy. A true warrior who kept rockin' the best he could until the very end. RIP Mr. Bain

[@FenderGreg]

He looks my brother before he died. I cannot believe he can do this? Guess that was his wish.

[@PapaEmeritus_4evr]

I have stage 4 cancer. I just turned 39. Ive played guitar since i was 12. Now i can barely pick it up. I lay on the couch staring out the window. Thinking and thinking. Cancer doesnt discriminate. Its evil. Took my mom last year. Yet, Dio and the Dio band always has and still does puts this "feeling" in me. Im sure you all know what i mean about how the Dio sound is so unique in the world of heavy metal. Only Dio fans would really know. Music is a magical thing. It really is. R.I.P. Ronnie, Jimmy and all those taken way to soon. We all gotta cross that rainbow bridge...someday.

[@BillRiccio]

+robert davis best of luck to you in the next life.

[@PapaEmeritus_4evr]

+Insect on Acid. Thank you brother. Ill admit, I'm scared about that "next life". Kinda funny, when your younger, death means nothing. Then its different when you face it. I know there's something. I do know that. Thanks again!

So both Jimmy and Vivian had cancer in this video and they are fuckin rockin the shit out of this song. My respect to both and RIP Jimmy!

[@bassplayerscott3864]

Amen to that!

Dead man walking... died with his boots on like a true rocker RIP

[@leswadley6792]

this is very sad to watch but at the same time its so up lifting;the man was in such a bad place but he gave it his all doing what he loved to do.have super respect for the man always have.rip jimmy bain.

[@jeffclark1164]

Totally. I'd rather go after playing a show than in a hospital. One wonders if he had treated his cancer if it would have given him a few more years. You are right though, you can see how hard he is trying. You can tell the tank was empty and he spent the last bit he had on this performance. That's a trooper right there.

[@rudolfschenker]

RIP James Bain, a metal legend. I'll never forget when I got to meet you after a Dio show, and how amiable and funny you were. Too many legends are leaving us.

You can see he could barely stand up (very sad), he still made a hell of a job. Rock In Peace Jimmy !

[@gilbzmusic7186]

Vivian Campbell still tears it up like he never left the band....I caught Jimmy's only pick he threw out in Montreal...cherished piece of metal history.

[@jlkbbk2003]

He's HAVING the heart attack up there and most likely and overnite it just gave out. Friends it's always okay to say to a brother, "Hey man, you look a little pale, or really tired today. You okay?" And sometimes, especially a man will not come to you but would answer you that "You know, my chest kind of hurts and I feel really tired." Doesn't meant they didn't and doesn't mean the brother would listen, but never stay silent.

[@richardlinn2176]

i had the pleasure to live with jimmy in rehab in hollywood ca shortly before this.very nice guy will miss him rip bro

[@danielrozman8945]

Here's to Jimmy-Rock in Peace

[@danielcornejo4524]

It really hurts to see one of my greatest influences as a bassist in pain, but it comforts me to know that he rocked till the very end! The bass sound in the entire holy diver album is the true bass sound! The ultimate bass sound of metal! Horns up for Jim, for Ronnie, for Jon Lord, for Bon Scott, Cliff Burton! My heros

[@dungeonslayer4692]

I talked to him on the phone a few weeks before. He was sick with bronchitis and had an x-ray done. He never said a word about how bad he felt and was so excited about the new album and playing with the guys again. Had plans to meet up on the tour, then he passed. I knew then that he knew about the cancer when they did the x-ray and just kept it to himself. He was that type of guy to not want people to worry or feel sorry. He kept moving on until he couldn't. He is dearly missed to this day.

[@robertbishop5357]

as a nurse I can see the pain on his face. so unfortunate. what a tremendous talent. he'll be sorely missed by all in the metal/hard rock world.

[@hanssrensen4878]

+Robert bishop That's DOPE .Not pain.

[@paulproductions9213]

+Hans Sørensen o man ! you made me laugh ! cheers !

You can't say "Bain" and "sober" in the same sentence. A great man anyway.

[@patrickmcleod111]

Hans Sørensen Dude, he died of cancer just a day or so after this performance, and that cancer had supposedly already spread throughout his body! He ALSO had pneumonia. His idiot doctors somehow missed the lung cancer, but diagnosed the pneumonia. Supposedly he had been clean for 1.5 years here. So I'm pretty sure it wasn't drugs that had him looking lethargic here.

[@kentgregory3299]

@@hanssrensen4878 you sir are an ill informed asshat.

[@Taurean418]

Watching him play, he could hardly put any pressure on the picking side....he looked very weak. Apparently he didn't know he had cancer, just pneumonia....very sad. You're a legend Jimmy 🤘🏻

[@metaldams78]

Agreed. He usually gallops this song and is playing very straight rhythms here. I couldn't imagine playing even that in his condition. Jimmy had one of the greatest bass tones ever on those early Dio albums, sad he's gone.

[@dwk67]

Now he's back in Ronnie's band again...

[@kevinmarrie3295]

The boys are back in town!🤘🏻😜 They better be working on some jamns in the afterlife, I'm gonna need some better music than the garbage I'm hearing these days.

really hard to watch this video..You can see Jimmy is in pain.....R.I.P...Jimmy missed by your Fans along with Ronnie..\m/

[@roguefate666]

Rest in Peace Mr. Bain. As difficult it is to watch at time, what I take away is his courage and will to keep playing until he couldn't. Do what you love as long as you are able.

[@johnhareiel5118]

One of my Top 10 Bass Heroes For Life! Jimmy Bain was such a Warrior that Died With His Boots On!

[@scottychi]

Ronnie was there telling Jimmy it's time to go. Now Ronnie has a bassist in heaven

[@juanloco999]

Cool

[@kentgregory3299]

Sorry, but I always find these type of statements so lame. “I guess someone needed a bass player in Heaven.” It’s so predictable EVERY time a musician passes...

[@crusheverything4449]

So, Ronnie is the Grim Reaper now? What a load of shit!!

[@Adept179]

Dio is with his father, the Devil. Hopefully Jimmy is with God.

[@seaskiff20]

Poor Jimmy was just going thru the motions at this point. Obvious he was hurting, but drove on for the music and his fans. RIP to one of rock's most under appreciated bassist. You will be missed!

[@bassplayerscott3864]

Jimmy is one of my heroes. One of the best and most underrated bass players in all of heavy metal and rock. I'm so sad that he's gone. The moment I read about him passing away I cried. Now he's with Ronnie. Rock in peace Jimmy!

[@leewwalker2011]

Followed Dio since day one in the 80's. Rip Jimmy. Glad I've seen Ronnie and Jimmy in their prime.

[@jimrocker6027]

It's really sad to see how sick Jimmy was. Reminds me how sick Lemmy was on his last couple of performances and had to quit on one of his last shows. RIP and trade bass licks with Lemmy up there would ya!!!

RIP jimmy thank you for your contrabution to heavy metal.we love u.

[@PapaEmeritus_4evr]

No matter what, us fans of metal and great music, are the most close knit family of any genre of music. Whether its an artist we admire or us as fans, There is a sense of family and unity. We are strong. Im sure all of you have experienced this. Its what keeps us going. Its what shapes us and makes us. And it will continue after im gone, and after we're all gone. Its just our responsibility to pass it down. Thank you all again for your words, thoughts and prayers. \m/

[@commanderwilliamtriker7449]

I just read your post while watching this video, i hope you are doing well, i know we don't know each other but your post touched me and i just want to say that i hope you're beating this damned horrible demon that cancer is, anyway, hope you are better.

[@longlivedio3498]

long live rock and roll long live you were all brothers in rock

[@PapaEmeritus_4evr]

@@commanderwilliamtriker7449 I hope you are still here. It's been awhile. I was very very sick. I was making final plans. My Mom had just passed back then from ovarian cancer, now my dad was about to lose his son. I never thought of myself. I didn't give up because I couldn't put my dad through that. Dying was very real but I couldn't let it be an option. I'm now cancer free. I still have some health problems due to the amount of radiation treatments I received but I pretty much came back from a death sentence. I thank you for asking about me. I apologize I didn't respond sooner. I try to keep up with comments and replies but somehow u slipped by me! I'm here and waiting for that new Dio documentary to come out. It looks SO good.

[@dennisn1672]

Jimmy died that night shortly after this performance. Rocked out until the very end.

[@MarcRice]

Damn, I had no idea....

[@SanitysVoid]

Are you sure? Wiki says he died in his Cabin on a def leopard cruise of some sort.

[@patrickmcleod111]

Sanitys Void Yeah, this was the pre-cruise show on land. According to Vivian, they were booked to do 2-3 shows connected to this "Def Leppard cruise". One on land just before boarding the ship, and 1-2 more onboard.

[@stevekightley563]

Jimmy was and still is an icon in my view. So sad to see him like this at his last show but great to see his band mates around him. He's one of the reasons that I picked the bass up in the first place and had the privilege to 'live the dream' just for a short while. Continue to RIP Jimmy and thank you. \m/ \m/

[@briankehew579]

Met Jimmy once, and he was very pleased when I asked him about playing with KATE BUSH. She's a genius and almost no one ever asked him about that. He was friends with her brother... So many great records and tours, Jimmy did it!

It's tough to watch Jimmy like this but on the other hand he was trying to play to the end. Same as Lemmy, some of those last performances he looked in real agony but wanted to finish out that final tour. Legends.
