born in dec 88 and i still want the 80s to come back and say ok enough of this shitty music of 2000+... here you have and throw at me all the old tech like walkman and kasettes at me. i want concerts with no shiny phones infront of me. i want clubs full of people talking to each other not checking one another on instagram. fuck modern days

@@robertcosgrove8734 A minor was selected with 3 basic chords, a, g and f. Why? To allow interpretation. Whats difficult musically is to create something from these chords. I often play lead over this song. Its difficult because the song itself allows for so much interpretation unlike something done by Bach on keyboards which is actually easier.
Absolutely, I grew up w all of them, most surprising to me was Journey guitarist there...Journey has never been a heavy metal band but an Outstanding rock ONE LONG LIFE TO METAL & ROCK!!!🎸💥🔥
Fucking masterpiece. Jimmy and Ronnie in beginning. Frankie at end. And the greatest singers of my generation in the middle with some ok guitarists. (Sarcasm)
I was in studio C and I heard the ruckis and our band went out later to have a smoke and all our idols came out to leave and er were all what the fuck. Hey, that's so N so and that's so in so. We started to get autographs and our producer came out and said, "okay lets do this." And I'm like Huh? Now?... aw man,,,, LOL
When people say Heavy Metal is evil, let them watch this. Any fan of music will appreciate the musicianship and class in this song 🙌🤘 God bless you all in 2021 🙏
oh and a little tid bit of info last year a interviewer was talking w Ted Nugent brought thiss song back up to him and he actualy had the gual to say the HE REGRETS IT because later he fond out some of the $$ went to liberal causes thats how much an A hole he is ! :O
@Steven T yeah he's a piece of work now and over the years lately he's become a real piece of shit. His music was good its when he went head first into the NRA he become a bigger and bigger A hole I can't stand him anymore. I used to fallow him on Facebook I can't anymore its nothing but politcal BS now no music just politcal BS and his politcal lemmings screaming uncle Ted uncle Ted the liberals are terrosts and so on. I've heard no one goes to his shows anymore now because it's all politcal BS.
What was it called before Heavy metal ? Before it became mainstream? They even put a effort on there album covers to help you with Your high? Remember heavy metal is the only way to sale it to the people. Not with the old name.
They weren't starving hundreds or even thousands of years ago before rich elitists started taking over their land and charging them for their own products at increased price... it is propaganda in many ways.... the super rich could feed the world with even 1% of their fortunes, but instead they ask us the common man who does not have money to spare, to pay instead... and then not all the money even makes it to the poor in 3rd world countries... the whole system is corrupt.
The level of talent here is off the chart. Hearing Rob Halford screaming in a controlled higher octave gave me chills. I often think about those times growing up in the '80s. Dude, I'd do it all over again.
@R D Hair metal died when grunge came along. Hair metal was doing just fine in the 1980's when you had thrash bands at their peak like Slayer, Metallica and Megadeth doing their thing.
Hair metal is still quite strong in Northern Europe , check out Shiraz lane , crash diet, reckless love , love razër , crazy lixx, there are loads of others . The big names are still touring it’s a niche scene but it lives , I will be hair /sleaze /glam / AOR/shred and 80s metal til I die. Also really dig 80s thrash. Anthrax , municipal waste, sacred reich,Metallica, megadeth, nuclear assault , annihalator, stormtroopers of death . Keep rockin everyone who watches this video 🤟🏼🕶🤟🏼
Chorus (vocal leads: Dave Meniketti, Eric Bloom, Rob Halford) We're stars We're stars We're stars We're stars
We're stars, yeah We're stars We are shadow, we are light We're stars We are magic in the night We're stars, oh yeah We're stars We're stars We are magic in the night We're stars We are shadow, we are light
We're stars We're stars We're stars We're the magic We're stars We're stars We're the beating of a heart
We're stars Forever we will shine We're stars We're stars We're stars We're stars
Man Knight ...Though I agree, I'd like to think that one day, a new generation will know of THIS kind of music and bring it back. Hey, maybe I'm just being optimistic, it could happen.
Think again. I'm planning to put together a Retro Decade Revival Project. Our goal is to bring old school, real entertainment, true talent, pure originality and diversity and more back into the public mainstream, starting with the 1980s. That means bringing back real singing voices.
@@yucchhiiowwee Bad rap, yes. Good rap, no. I for one think that good rap should be kept alive while bad rap, like mumble rapping should be extinct, becoming a thing of the past.
Rene Astle ...I along with a number of other people HATE RAP..to us RAP IS RAP and RAP IS CRAP..(I have much stronger words for it). Especially when they take REAL MUSIC from artists that actually PLAY MUSIC and put it in their crap and say "YO MAIN, CHEK OUT WUT I ROT". Mannn you wrote diddly!! And all that synthetic sound of intruments..I can push a button too. I'd love to see OUR music overcome and get rid of RAP period.
Pure talent, no auto tune. Just God given ability to be great at what they could do. And this is STILL a masterpiece here in 2023!!! I cant get tired of this.......R.I.P. to the ones that are gone, but never forgotten. Rock on.

I remember when I was 13 when this came out. I had mononucleosis. I sat at home and learned every guitar part to this whole song. My guitar teacher at the time was so amazed that he asked my mother if I could join his band. I ended up playing professionally at that age in my guitar teachers band. I will never forget this time in my life!
No shit, amazing I was 13 back when this came out and did guitar to it , back when MTV had the hour long metal show on the weekdays , anyway I had mono around that time must have been something in the water line, but I played and learned a TON of guitar during that and still play, rock on 🤟👊🤟
Vince Neil - "Hey Ronnie, let me know when you want me to sing" Dio - "Sure thing Vince, just stand over there and wait with Ted Nugent and Spinal Tap"
From gulfport mississippi, we will never die, we are eternal, we are the children of the night, we are the "rainbow in the dark,we are the rising force,bad boys running wild and summertime girls". And "yeah right",we are "damage incorporated", that can fine tune a "symphony of destruction". God bless heavy metal/hard rock/and rock and roll. It made us immortal.
I really miss the great 80’s. Hard rock and metal at its peak. Such awesome musicianship. A time that will never be forgotten and can never be replicated. Forever 80’s!
Still listening in 2024! I come back to this song every so often just because the talent is off the chain! The Pop genre of the 80's has We Are the World, us Metalheads have We're Stars! So glad they made this! 🤘 Horns up! All the way up!
To me though, Dave Murray and Adrian Smith brought all the guitars together through amazing harmonies. They flew in just for a few hours that day and were offered solo spots but after a few minutes, came up with the epic harmonizing riffs you hear behind all the solos. That's really cool to not want to show off, but rather boost everyone else around them
@@michaellrakes5521 For me too. But he also didn't have much time to create the solos. They were on a massive and exhausting tour. The "World Slavery Tour".
They should re-do We´re Stars - In honor of Ronnie James Dio & Jimmy Bain! Vocals: Bruce Dickinson, Rob Halford, Michael Kiske, Geoff Tate, Klaus Meine, Joey Tempest, Matt Barlow, D.C Cooper, Tobias Sammet, Ronnie Atkins, Hansi Kürsch, Yannis Papadopoulos, Roy Khan, Blackie Lawless, Richard Page, King Diamond, Steve Overland Guitars: Vivian Campbell, Alexi Laiho, Dave Murray, Adrian Smith, George Lynch, Chris DeGarmo, Yngwie Malmsteen, Matthias Jabs, Michael Denner, Neal Schon, Kiko Loureiro, Doug Aldrich, Michael Weikath, Andy LaRocque, Ritchie Faulkner, Steve Lukather, Bill Hudson. Bass: Steve Harris. Drums: Scott Rockenfield, Richard Christy Keyboard: Claude Schnell, Mic Michaeli. These guys could, besides remaking "We're Stars," also make some covers of other classic rock/metal songs, by Black Sabbath, Rainbow, Dio, Scorpions, Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, Dokken, Europe, Survivor, Whitesnake, Helloween, W.A.S.P, Journey, Queensrÿche etc. A full album that goes to charity, and to all of metal 🙏
Good choices. but how about James Hetfield, Lars Ulrich, Jimmy Paige, Jack White, Robert Plant, Ian Gillan, Rick Allen, Corey Taylor, Jonathan davies...A mix of Now and Then.....
katche75 Well, Jimmy Paige, Robert Plant, Ian Gillan and Rick Allen would be fine :) Regarding the rest: I agree that there has to be some "newer" stars in the mix, but I still think the song should be in the same style and spirit as it was in 86´. There is a reason that Ronnie never invited any trash-musicians to begin with: They just didn´t fit in. Lars is good enough for Metallica, but what the heck would he do in a song like this? and Hetfield? His vocal has gone to terribly low level, and even though he is a great rhythm-guitarist, he is not virtuoso enough to be in the Here N´Aid-lineup. The same goes for Jack White, Jonathan Davies and Corey Taylor: They are good at what they do, but it would not fit into this type of song :/ Some "newer" additions could be, for example, Joacim Cans (mentioned), Tony Kakko, Tobias Sammet, Roy Khan and Matthew Barlow :)
keyringer all of my teen years were spent in the 80’s (1981 - 1988) making me one of the luckiest people in the world. I got to see so many great bands in their prime and nobody’s prime was better then Ronnie Dio’s be it in Sabbath or in Dio. I was fortunate to see him play 12 times and had the opportunity to even meet him twice. He was the greatest both on and off the stage. There will never be another like him!
I was born in 1967 -so I got to live the 70's and 80's -I was so lucky listening to Boston and Queen and then KISS ruling the world in 1978 then all the awesome bands and music in the 80's when MTV first came out playing killer videos and headbangers ball -ahh those were the days -fun concerts,getting drunk and partying LOL -(seeing the original DIO band on the Sacred Heart tour with the fire breathing dragon)
Lucky you! Your journey has just begun. \m/|m/ Next: Helloween - Keeper of the Seven Keys {Keeper of the Seven Keys Pt.2) Fates Warning - Nothing Left to Say {Perfect Symmetry} DIO - All the Fools Sailed Away {Dream Evil} Candlemass - The Edge of Heaven {Tales of Creation} Alkatrazz - Kree Nakoorie {No Parole From Rock'N'Roll} King Diamond - A Broken Spell {Them} Metal Church - Anthem to the Estranged { Blessing in Disguise} Queensryche - Suite Sister Mary {Operation Mindcrime}
I like to keep an open mind about stuff like religion and the afterlife. I am not sure that Heaven or Hell really exist, or if there is a God, I mostly have a scientific belief on this subject, but I have never died before, so I wouldn't know for sure until I die. Also, Heaven and Hell is a Dio album and I was referring to that, I wasn't really being serious about that. Still an outstanding song though.
I own the original pressing vinyl, personally signed by Don Dokken, many years ago. It is one of my most treasured records. All of these guys are/were so incredibly talented.
@@Ryno9906 Amazing story! Many years ago I travel from Chile to USA to see many shows of Dokken and Don Dokken, Jeff Pilson and Wild Mick Brown treat me like a king, I'm a special guest of the band with my ALL ACCESS AREAS green pass!!!
This was the who's who in metal from 1970-1985. Can you imagine if they did a Hear n Aid for the who's who in metal from 2000-2015? The choir would be mostly metalcore vocalist and a lot of djent breakdowns in the middle of the song. It would suck.
You'd have to go outside the genre and pull in the female fronted symphonic metal bands, Nightwish, Epica, Lacuna Coil, Within Temptation. They are producing fantastic music. But agree it would be impossible to top this era of metal.
I been saying that too they should have a modern day hearing aid to raise money for to address the mental health crisis in America. If it were up to me I would pick Killswitch engage, A7X, Bullet for my Valentine, Black Veil Brides, and use some of the same guys like Blackie lawless from W.A.S.P. who is still coming out with kick ass metal albums and Dave Mustaine.

I'm still listening in 2023, to one of the most iconic recordings that I fell in Love with in 1986 and have not found anything to replace it at the top spot song of all time. Thank you All for your time 🙏 & effort. R.I.P. Ronnie James Dio ❤❤❤
I can't remember if I have commented on this before, but I will do so in saying that this blew the we are the world song right out of the water. I truly hated that song. This was way better. The greatest ensemble of rock and metal artists of that era. I'm so glad that Ronnie decided to do this. When I had a radio show, I would play this once in a while. Now, in 2023, I began listening to Eddie Trunk, and so far, I think he's played it, I think 4 times. I don't know if we will ever have an ensemble of musicians like this ever again coming together to make one song. Unfortunately, some of the people who did this are no longer with us. Rest in peace.
Yeah, I remember the day I heard that he died, I wore all black the next day at work, and these dudes asked me, hey man. what's up? I was like you didn't hear that hear RJD died man. They were like aw shit man really? I said yeah man, look it up. They did, and I guess I ruined both of their days. I loved Dio man, saw him perform with Sabbath, Heaven and Hell, and do a show with Motorhead and Iron Maiden, Ronnie James ruled man, one of the best singers of all time.
This is the greatest non-satirical, satire song ever recorded. The fact that you have Spinal Tap in there is so freaking awesome. It's like when Christopher Walken does his Christopher Walken impression! True genius!
I saw Y&T open for Twisted Sister around 2012 and I was blown away by his guitar playing I never paid attention before cause the radio hits were ... too radio friendly for me I guess.
Pure Dio at its finest with all the metal gods present. It goes 2 show u how much Dio was admired & respected. Bless the man on the silver mountain 🎸🎸🎸
4:50 How BUCK DHARMA unties the tension created by the previous speed, techinical and amazing solos, is MAGIC, he makes his guitar sing, he opens ALL, is so incredible. THE WHOLE SONG IS INCREDIBLE.
I really would have liked to see michael sweet (Stryper) on the lineup, that would have been killer. I like how everyone still has their own style and got to play their part equally. Nobody seems to be given more than anyone else, none cut short, etc…just pure metal for the better of the world. Malmsteen’s solo at 4:00 was perfectly fitting for that forwards charging tempo
I literally get chills every time I hear this song, especially when I observe each and everyone of them making some of the best and most memorable rock-n-roll that was ever made! These guys proved themselves worthy 100times over again!!! But man for a very great cause curing hunger better water us rockers tried but most of us was labeled before our true spirit could shine hell we had dreams to mom and dad!!! For the ones that made it may god bless you and pleeeeease! Stay safe and help people n need, i promise you if you have a heart this goes for whomever reads this I know it’ll get laughed at or not even read but I tell ya I have seen the most wealthiest people so miserable because of little decisions like man I should have given that poor old man on the corner enough to get food or I should of changed that tire for that lady, I do all these kinds of things with not a dime in my pocket nor do I ask for anything my point is people look at we’re going through, these are unpredictable times and we must help our people to the best of our ability. If you can lend a helping hand please do so if you happen to be well off please give to someone in need, the feeling in the heart will reward you time and time again, you smile ten more smile without you even knowing it most of the time. Be kind....🙂

I was in studio C and I heard the ruckis and our band went out later to have a smoke and all our idols came out to leave and er were all what the fuck. Hey, that's so N so and that's so in so. We started to get autographs and our producer came out and said, "okay lets do this." And I'm like Huh? Now?... aw man,,,, LOL
Where is EDDIE 🤔🤔🤔🤔
It was, and still is amazing. In addition, the project was RJD's answer to the World Aid project
2024 Anyone 🤔🤔
Im here
Forever present.... Stay metal!!!!!!
2047. I’m from the future \m/
Ako..
Love it
This solo is unreal...Malmsteen and Lynch killed it.
The 2 Neal Schon Solos as Well.
Eh
th-cam.com/video/ziwHnNT1na8/w-d-xo.html neal is the best
Malmsteen is a beast!
Why you guys are not talking about Vivian Campbell? Neal is awesome for sure !
When people say Heavy Metal is evil, let them watch this.
Any fan of music will appreciate the musicianship and class in this song 🙌🤘
God bless you all in 2021 🙏
Keep rockin'!!!!
oh and a little tid bit of info last year a interviewer was talking w Ted Nugent brought thiss song back up to him and he actualy had the gual to say the HE REGRETS IT because later he fond out some of the $$ went to liberal causes thats how much an A hole he is ! :O
@Steven T yeah he's a piece of work now and over the years lately he's become a real piece of shit. His music was good its when he went head first into the NRA he become a bigger and bigger A hole I can't stand him anymore. I used to fallow him on Facebook I can't anymore its nothing but politcal BS now no music just politcal BS and his politcal lemmings screaming uncle Ted uncle Ted the liberals are terrosts and so on. I've heard no one goes to his shows anymore now because it's all politcal BS.
What was it called before
Heavy metal ?
Before it became mainstream?
They even put a effort on there album covers to help you with
Your high?
Remember heavy metal is the only way to sale it to the people.
Not with the old name.
@@Steve4206 and people wonder why some people feel that conservatives have no compassion and want to help people.
One of the most amazing pieces of music on this planet
propaganda but riffs and solos are great
They weren't starving hundreds or even thousands of years ago before rich elitists started taking over their land and charging them for their own products at increased price... it is propaganda in many ways.... the super rich could feed the world with even 1% of their fortunes, but instead they ask us the common man who does not have money to spare, to pay instead... and then not all the money even makes it to the poor in 3rd world countries... the whole system is corrupt.
My man derek
don't be so fucking ridiculous...the sheer magnitude of the stupidity in that statement....fucking hell mate get a grip...
I kno no one who ever said Hey put this song on the Stereo bro!
Or plug it on the juke box!
Who's listening to this in September 2024?
this is what we music supposed to be
For ever❤
❤
☝️
here!
I think this was heavy metal's answer to 'We are the world.'
GEE WHIZ YOU THINK
No never!
yeah i think so... RJD is the guy who got this project running... i know the swedish hv a similar kind of project.. a bit cheesy.. bt still ok.. 😀..
Yeah, this is "We are the ass kickers" !
And, there was only one band represented in both songs. Anybody care to guess?
The level of talent here is off the chart. Hearing Rob Halford screaming in a controlled higher octave gave me chills. I often think about those times growing up in the '80s. Dude, I'd do it all over again.
How was Blackie Lawless for WASP not singing a solo part, his voice legendary.
Rob Halford was out of control GREAT!!!!!
I was a crazy JP fan, but my fave voice of all this lot has to be Geoff Tate.
@@thedronedownunder3919 I agree. Those were the Rage for Order days and I wore out two cassette copies of it. Every song is excellent.
The mainstream can have the "We are the world" Micheal Jackson.
We rock n roll fans can have this.
so much talent in a single room... i don't know how the world didn't explode from awesomeness...
it actually did explode a couple of times and they had to dial down the awesome in the room. That's why Bruce Dickinson isn't on the track.
Yep! Bruce Dickinson and Paul Stanley would have been great here! And Eddie Van Halen and Bruce Kulick for the guitarists!
Ask Mr RJB...
RJD?
Ronnie James Dio.
最高。
いくらでも払うから、iTunesで出してほしい。リピートで何回も聴きたい。
イングウェイのソロも美しくて最高
This is why Metal must return to popularity, bring back hair metal and let the 2020's become the NEW AGE OF METAL!!!!!!
Amen. Make Metal Great Again
@R D Hair metal died when grunge came along. Hair metal was doing just fine in the 1980's when you had thrash bands at their peak like Slayer, Metallica and Megadeth doing their thing.
Hair metal is still quite strong in Northern Europe , check out Shiraz lane , crash diet, reckless love , love razër , crazy lixx, there are loads of others . The big names are still touring it’s a niche scene but it lives , I will be hair /sleaze /glam / AOR/shred and 80s metal til I die. Also really dig 80s thrash. Anthrax , municipal waste, sacred reich,Metallica, megadeth, nuclear assault , annihalator, stormtroopers of death . Keep rockin everyone who watches this video 🤟🏼🕶🤟🏼

Gracias por la letra y los solos y quien canta y toca en cada uno

Te pasaste! Muchas gracias por tanta data! =)
Thanks for the rad post dude!
Cuanto talento en esos solos
80s voices and culture.....
never again such greatness will touch the earth!!!
Man Knight ...Though I agree, I'd like to think that one day, a new generation will know of THIS kind of music and bring it back.
Hey, maybe I'm just being optimistic, it could happen.
Think again. I'm planning to put together a Retro Decade Revival Project. Our goal is to bring old school, real entertainment, true talent, pure originality and diversity and more back into the public mainstream, starting with the 1980s. That means bringing back real singing voices.
Rene Astle...Is there a way to drown RAP while doing that?
@@yucchhiiowwee Bad rap, yes. Good rap, no. I for one think that good rap should be kept alive while bad rap, like mumble rapping should be extinct, becoming a thing of the past.
Rene Astle ...I along with a number of other people HATE RAP..to us RAP IS RAP and RAP IS CRAP..(I have much stronger words for it). Especially when they take REAL MUSIC from artists that actually PLAY MUSIC and put it in their crap and say "YO MAIN, CHEK OUT WUT I ROT". Mannn you wrote diddly!!
And all that synthetic sound of intruments..I can push a button too.
I'd love to see OUR music overcome and get rid of RAP period.
Pure talent, no auto tune. Just God given ability to be great at what they could do. And this is STILL a masterpiece here in 2023!!! I cant get tired of this.......R.I.P. to the ones that are gone, but never forgotten. Rock on.
Amen.
🤘🏻
The 1980s were a underrated Golden Age in almost every art form- the rise of Punk, Heavy Metal, Hip Hop, Pop, music videos, dance, small independent films- people don't appreciate the artistic volcano of that era. The '90s were a decline in comparison (imo).
Rocket for the eternity
I remember when I was 13 when this came out. I had mononucleosis. I sat at home and learned every guitar part to this whole song. My guitar teacher at the time was so amazed that he asked my mother if I could join his band. I ended up playing professionally at that age in my guitar teachers band. I will never forget this time in my life!
One thousand Kudos for you !
No shit, amazing I was 13 back when this came out and did guitar to it , back when MTV had the hour long metal show on the weekdays , anyway I had mono around that time must have been something in the water line, but I played and learned a TON of guitar during that and still play, rock on 🤟👊🤟
I had mono when this came out haha. And it's when I first picked up guitar. I was 16 tho. This world trips me out man 🤘
@@cadelk87 I got stereo when I was 15!!
I started gigging in ‘86 too.
Seems like yesterday & a million years-ago, huh?
Still amazing in 2023 to bad Gen-Z will never know how great the 80S were !!🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
The greatest collection of talent the music world has ever seen🤘🤘
It's STUNNING that so many egos were cast aside to make this. ❤❤❤❤❤
Literally. I just know Yngwie was..."thrilled."
And with how much of a dumbass ted nugent is I'm shocked
Wise words
When Malmsteen touches the guitar strings with two classical scale steps he steals the show from all the best guitarists of that historical era 😍
you can tell him just from his fingers
he was simply untouchable at this time.
The story I've always heard is that Neal Schon, surprisingly, impressed every one of those guys...
Yngwie absolutely owned the scene at that time.
George Lynch for me but all MFN BadAss! 😊
Vince Neil - "Hey Ronnie, let me know when you want me to sing"
Dio - "Sure thing Vince, just stand over there and wait with Ted Nugent and Spinal Tap"
War Pig Hahaha. Best laugh I had all day.
😂 😂
Lmaooo
They did have a role in it all. This is just the shortened version
Was that before or after Axel Rose & Vince Niel had a fistfight next to a taco-bell parking lot dumpster?
R.I.P Ronnie James Dio. May your vocals last forever :)
They are eternal!
Surfing with the alien!
how many lungs my man really have
2023 still listening and loud. Too all older rockers I salute you all.❤❤
We are still here! Metal fans of all the world. Cheers from Brazil!
Greetings from 2024 🇨🇱
Tempo bons , saudades 😢
From gulfport mississippi, we will never die, we are eternal, we are the children of the night, we are the "rainbow in the dark,we are the rising force,bad boys running wild and summertime girls". And "yeah right",we are "damage incorporated", that can fine tune a "symphony of destruction". God bless heavy metal/hard rock/and rock and roll. It made us immortal.
Rarely has there been so much talent in one single room.
Yeah, at that moment, the world should've exploded because it could not contain that much awesomeness. And Dio is the best part of it all
never
@@princecrane1277 just one other moment, when Michael Jackson and Lionel Richie made We Are The World
I was proud to own this when it came out...
it was OUR we are the world!!!!
Some true greats on this recording!!!
🎸👍
th-cam.com/video/Aq3L8bnIQRg/w-d-xo.html
Dave Meniketti of Y&T opening the vocals speaks for itself. A brilliant underrated singer...and a dual threat shredder too!
So true, killer band! One person in this lineup I really wanted to see was michael sweet from Stryper. Would have been killer!
Alot of people slept on y&t. They were and are, truely uderapriciated and underrated.
One of my all time favorites
Class act too
I was 16 years old and having the BEST time of my life.
I love the 80’s so much
Best music ever!!!
Geoff Tate's vocals are amazing.
Absolutely!
Godlike and that's all I got.

@@mauriciohernandezdiaz9825 thats right you're not as good as you used to be either. Enjoy being less than you were.

I really miss the great 80’s. Hard rock and metal at its peak. Such awesome musicianship. A time that will never be forgotten and can never be replicated. Forever 80’s!
Your Damn Right. The Best of Times.
Ja też😥
I wish I were there again every single day.
OH hell yeah!! forever man, best era for all music styles, specially rock and metal 🤟🏼🎸
@@titools4375 AMEN or LIKEWISE
I've watched this an unhealthy amount of times and I regret nothing
Meeeee tooooo!
Same here!
Still listening in 2024! I come back to this song every so often just because the talent is off the chain! The Pop genre of the 80's has We Are the World, us Metalheads have We're Stars! So glad they made this! 🤘
Horns up! All the way up!
Exactly!🎵⚡🤘
Can you imagine the vocal and guitar tracks that weren't used? Must be a lot of amazing stuff that never left the studio.
fuck yes! wish that stuff got released!
Malmsteen really jumps out with his neo classical sound...
To me though, Dave Murray and Adrian Smith brought all the guitars together through amazing harmonies. They flew in just for a few hours that day and were offered solo spots but after a few minutes, came up with the epic harmonizing riffs you hear behind all the solos. That's really cool to not want to show off, but rather boost everyone else around them
Tniri Blizzard i know, the man is hard to work with..
I've heard George Lynch say "everyone was trying to keep up with Yngwie on the day" - he was miles ahead of everyone at this point in time
@@michaellrakes5521 For me too. But he also didn't have much time to create the solos. They were on a massive and exhausting tour. The "World Slavery Tour".
Flash Grover although I agree George plays an amazing solo if you watch the full video of the solos the other guitarists are loving George’s work
The 80s was the golden age for soaring vocals and cool guitar licks and solos
Can you imagine being in the same room, with them all singing? I think I would cry, lol! 😂❤Just too much talent!
They never did, that's just the video.
They should re-do We´re Stars - In honor of Ronnie James Dio & Jimmy Bain!

These guys could, besides remaking "We're Stars," also make some covers of other classic rock/metal songs, by Black Sabbath, Rainbow, Dio, Scorpions, Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, Dokken, Europe, Survivor, Whitesnake, Helloween, W.A.S.P, Journey, Queensrÿche etc. A full album that goes to charity, and to all of metal 🙏
Good choices. but how about James Hetfield, Lars Ulrich, Jimmy Paige, Jack White, Robert Plant, Ian Gillan, Rick Allen, Corey Taylor, Jonathan davies...A mix of Now and Then.....
katche75 Well, Jimmy Paige, Robert Plant, Ian Gillan and Rick Allen would be fine :)
Regarding the rest: I agree that there has to be some "newer" stars in the mix, but I still think the song should be in the same style and spirit as it was in 86´. There is a reason that Ronnie never invited any trash-musicians to begin with: They just didn´t fit in. Lars is good enough for Metallica, but what the heck would he do in a song like this? and Hetfield? His vocal has gone to terribly low level, and even though he is a great rhythm-guitarist, he is not virtuoso enough to be in the Here N´Aid-lineup. The same goes for Jack White, Jonathan Davies and Corey Taylor: They are good at what they do, but it would not fit into this type of song :/
Some "newer" additions could be, for example, Joacim Cans (mentioned), Tony Kakko, Tobias Sammet, Roy Khan and Matthew Barlow :)
Mickey Holm Add Joe Satriani to that list.
Bass : Geezer Butler!! \m/
Mickey Holm Why everyone forgets the great guitarist Wolf Hoffmann and ACCEPT???
Neal Schon's solo on 6:08 is one of the best outros in music history.
I'm curious, how do you know it's Schon? Did you learn it from somewhere or is it your guess from playing style?
@@KeremcanBuyuktaskin It says on the sleeve actually.
Back when Schon played with attitude....damn smokin
so many legends,, damn i really want to go back to the 80s ,,,,,,,,,, hell yeah Ronnie u rock forever
Man, I would kill to live in the 70s-80s. 2000s suck so far. Especially without Dio.
i was born in 91 but your comment gave me unexpected nostalgia.
You and me both! I would have loved to been there and see all those guys and visit with them.
keyringer all of my teen years were spent in the 80’s (1981 - 1988) making me one of the luckiest people in the world. I got to see so many great bands in their prime and nobody’s prime was better then Ronnie Dio’s be it in Sabbath or in Dio. I was fortunate to see him play 12 times and had the opportunity to even meet him twice.
He was the greatest both on and off the stage. There will never be another like him!
I was born in 1967 -so I got to live the 70's and 80's -I was so lucky listening to Boston and Queen and then KISS ruling the world in 1978 then all the awesome bands and music in the 80's when MTV first came out playing killer videos and headbangers ball -ahh those were the days -fun concerts,getting drunk and partying LOL -(seeing the original DIO band on the Sacred Heart tour with the fire breathing dragon)
I CANNOT BELIEVE I JUST AM FINDING THIS TODAY! it is beyond incredible! I love it so much 😭❤️

R.I.P. Ronnie James Dio and Kevin DuBrow...
Forever in our hearts
I wonder if when gods like Dio or Hendrix or Hanneman go into the next life, do they make a super band, rocking in Heaven and Hell? They probally do.
Andrew Martin Heaven or hell don't exist.
I like to keep an open mind about stuff like religion and the afterlife. I am not sure that Heaven or Hell really exist, or if there is a God, I mostly have a scientific belief on this subject, but I have never died before, so I wouldn't know for sure until I die. Also, Heaven and Hell is a Dio album and I was referring to that, I wasn't really being serious about that. Still an outstanding song though.
AND Jimmy Bain

Don is a cool dude! Met him in Japan before show in 85! Him and George came out to sign stuff. My first metal concert
@@Ryno9906 Amazing story! Many years ago I travel from Chile to USA to see many shows of Dokken and Don Dokken, Jeff Pilson and Wild Mick Brown treat me like a king, I'm a special guest of the band with my ALL ACCESS AREAS green pass!!!
Holy shit what a gift to give your one day! I hope they would cherish it as you would and not just sell it. What an amazing treasure.
This was the who's who in metal from 1970-1985. Can you imagine if they did a Hear n Aid for the who's who in metal from 2000-2015? The choir would be mostly metalcore vocalist and a lot of djent breakdowns in the middle of the song. It would suck.
You'd have to go outside the genre and pull in the female fronted symphonic metal bands, Nightwish, Epica, Lacuna Coil, Within Temptation. They are producing fantastic music. But agree it would be impossible to top this era of metal.
No guitar solo thats for sure.
sad but true XD
Jajajaja
I been saying that too they should have a modern day hearing aid to raise money for to address the mental health crisis in America. If it were up to me I would pick Killswitch engage, A7X, Bullet for my Valentine, Black Veil Brides, and use some of the same guys like Blackie lawless from W.A.S.P. who is still coming out with kick ass metal albums and Dave Mustaine.

2021, still love this song full of stars from the 80’s
Stars# Forgotten
Since 1985 to 2022... My appreciation of this Masterpiece has been growing.
Te equivocas camarada faltaron
Un chingo
Geoff Tate had a great vocal moment in this as well
Yngwie and Geoff were the 2 standouts, IMO.
Dave Meniketti with the opening line was a good choice as well; that dude pushes a lot of air.
tate was kick ass back ten why did that guy not take care of his voice is baffling to me =/
@@PhilipRGarza saw him recently at a benefit show. He is still good, but definitely not what he was. Time marches on.
YES definitely
I'm still listening in 2023, to one of the most iconic recordings that I fell in Love with in 1986 and have not found anything to replace it at the top spot song of all time. Thank you All for your time 🙏 & effort. R.I.P. Ronnie James Dio ❤❤❤
fuck yes!
You simply cannot listen to this song once.. ABSOLUTLY incredible!
i did, but then I came back
It's amazing... the strong, beatifull and powerfull voice of Halford and Dio together... they're real heavy metal gods
The holy Trinity of Metal..Dio, Dickenson and Halford
can you imagine actually being there when they recorded this..holy fuck..the magnum opus of all Heavy Metal Bands in the 80's
Shawn Burkholder ..fucking amazing!!
And imagine if there were Chris Impelliteri, Vito Bratta, Vinnie Moore, And Mike Tramp and Graham Bonnet!
I can't remember if I have commented on this before, but I will do so in saying that this blew the we are the world song right out of the water. I truly hated that song. This was way better. The greatest ensemble of rock and metal artists of that era. I'm so glad that Ronnie decided to do this. When I had a radio show, I would play this once in a while. Now, in 2023, I began listening to Eddie Trunk, and so far, I think he's played it, I think 4 times. I don't know if we will ever have an ensemble of musicians like this ever again coming together to make one song. Unfortunately, some of the people who did this are no longer with us. Rest in peace.
today is 10 years exactly of the dead of Ronnie James Dio, i still miss him so much ...
Geoff Tate had a great vocal moment in this as well
Yeah, I remember the day I heard that he died, I wore all black the next day at work, and these dudes asked me, hey man. what's up? I was like you didn't hear that hear RJD died man. They were like aw shit man really? I said yeah man, look it up. They did, and I guess I ruined both of their days. I loved Dio man, saw him perform with Sabbath, Heaven and Hell, and do a show with Motorhead and Iron Maiden, Ronnie James ruled man, one of the best singers of all time.
Me too 😞
We all do my friend...
First time I cry listening to this song. Rock/Metal music is just something else....pure talent and heart. The best musical genre there is, to me.
th-cam.com/video/INO9FXYi3MI/w-d-xo.html
can we get a shout out to Mr. Jimmy Bain, who brought this all together! Rest In Peace Brother! you are missed!
RIP Bain! Never forgotten!
indeed....2016 is a curse year for stars.....one after another :(.....long live heavy metal !!!!
:)
Well, he came up with it, but Dio was very much the one who got this off into fucking space.
now that Chris Cornell is gone, I'm convinced that there are more cool people there than here
No one in the rock world could beat Geoff Tate in his prime. Absolute beast of a singer.
You will Never Get this much talent in one place Again!!!!
💯💯💯💯💯💯🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
Already into October 2019 and still holding horns for Dio!
Always horns for Father Dio!🤘🏻
RIP Dio. You were and still are a Legend!! One of the greatest Metal singers ever!!
Why did the 80s have to end? Why did people have to change. Why did technology have to progress....
Music died when the 90s came :( The 80's was more modern sounding than any 90s 00s 10s band!
@@Defender80s ok boomer
GOD I’m 48 years old and I grew up with these guys, they are Iconic Legends in every sense of the word and yes I agree, why change.
Only God knows why
@@Defender80s I still listen to and love 1980s music!
This is the greatest non-satirical, satire song ever recorded. The fact that you have Spinal Tap in there is so freaking awesome. It's like when Christopher Walken does his Christopher Walken impression! True genius!
Glad Dave Meniketti got some spotlight in this, he's so underrated as a guitarist and vocalist
I saw Y&T open for Twisted Sister around 2012 and I was blown away by his guitar playing I never paid attention before cause the radio hits were ... too radio friendly for me I guess.
4:00 Yngwie cleaning the stage
Ya, the whole song is awesome, but those 8 seconds are the sweetest part!
The last few notes were the best part of the solo but as a whole I think George Lynch takes the best part right after him.
Easily the best solo
When has Yngwie ever been more interested in contributing to the flow of a song and making it better, and not being the center of attention?
As cheesy as he is, the rest sound like amateur's at a jam night
is so easy to hear at Rob Halford over all the others in the chorus
The masters of their instrument. I've watched this over 1k times...luv it!
George Lynch and Yngwie owned it
I liked neil schon
LIKEWISE!
Neil and Brad were nothing to sneeze at. Neil could hold his won with any regardless of the band he was in. Monster, monster player.
I think they all did
I cant believe I'm saying this but Eddie Ojeda's solo has grown on me over time. i like it now.
it is so amazing how Rob Halford is simply the most recognizable Voice in teh Chorus
So glad to see the underrated Dave Meniketti of Y&T on vocals.
He should've played a solo too - he's a great guitarist.
Yep....a seriously underrated singer
Dave is a beast! :) Love Y&T
For sure
My favourite guitar player and fantastic singer too.
Pure Dio at its finest with all the metal gods present. It goes 2 show u how much Dio was admired & respected. Bless the man on the silver mountain 🎸🎸🎸
So many legends in this song. Amazing 80's metal!

I love that Spinal Tap were included in this.
Yes, just for that, this video is rated 11/10 by me.
Indeed considering I am pretty sure we would have not had behind the music series without that movie but that's when MTV actually played music
And Ted Nugent !
Geoff tates vocals actually give me chills
They are so dynamic
he had no idea what he would go on to accomplish.
Sameee I get all giddy 😂🥰
corniest guy here and that's saying alot lol
The only one who could match Halford in his prime was Geoff Tate in the 80s, such and incredible voice.
I was 19 when the song came out. I've loved it from the start. And even today, this song is a true masterpiece. 😍🤘🤘🤘
4:50 How BUCK DHARMA unties the tension created by the previous speed, techinical and amazing solos, is MAGIC, he makes his guitar sing, he opens ALL, is so incredible. THE WHOLE SONG IS INCREDIBLE.
Buck Dharma is not the fastest out there, but he has such original and great choice of notes
very bluesy and groovy style
Definitely my favorite solo on this song. Not the fastest in the world, but it doesn't need to be
@@backslash68the class of buck is off the roof
I once played this at a party and the cake exploded, too much metal
There's no such thing as too much metal.
\m/
MetalmaT 😂🤣🙌🤘
MetalmaT NEVER TOO MUCH METAL EVER !!!!!😈💔💋
I DO TOO
George Lynch. Still shines in 2019
Ken's daughter John malmseen first class
And i have a Signature from the 80's
Yngwie J Malmsteen all the way
Totally underrated. He was Dokken.
I really would have liked to see michael sweet (Stryper) on the lineup, that would have been killer. I like how everyone still has their own style and got to play their part equally. Nobody seems to be given more than anyone else, none cut short, etc…just pure metal for the better of the world. Malmsteen’s solo at 4:00 was perfectly fitting for that forwards charging tempo
Vince Neil not used, his voice wouldn't fit is my guess.
This was made because no metal artist were asked to do we are the world.
this one was BEFORE "we are the world" :D
Who is that actual magical wizard guy? Dio: Oh, that would be me. The greatest metal singer live and one of the greatest singers period. RIP.
I agree long live RJD

I must confess that, to this day, I didn't know of the existence of this masterpiece! No wonder they were such great musicians!
I literally get chills every time I hear this song, especially when I observe each and everyone of them making some of the best and most memorable rock-n-roll that was ever made! These guys proved themselves worthy 100times over again!!! But man for a very great cause curing hunger better water us rockers tried but most of us was labeled before our true spirit could shine hell we had dreams to mom and dad!!! For the ones that made it may god bless you and pleeeeease! Stay safe and help people n need, i promise you if you have a heart this goes for whomever reads this I know it’ll get laughed at or not even read but I tell ya I have seen the most wealthiest people so miserable because of little decisions like man I should have given that poor old man on the corner enough to get food or I should of changed that tire for that lady, I do all these kinds of things with not a dime in my pocket nor do I ask for anything my point is people look at we’re going through, these are unpredictable times and we must help our people to the best of our ability. If you can lend a helping hand please do so if you happen to be well off please give to someone in need, the feeling in the heart will reward you time and time again, you smile ten more smile without you even knowing it most of the time. Be kind....🙂
I DO TO!!!!
