It's truly astonishing how Ricks vocals just sit so perfectly with Holy Diver. I know you have to sync everything and put a lot of work in to make these sound as good as they do, but this one just blew me away.
@@MrJeezus I only really knew Superfreak before as a band called Mordred had covered it, but I’ve listened to a few songs now due to Bill using his songs occasionally in mash ups. I need to actually get a couple of albums and dig a little deeper. Rick James had some serious talent.
Honestly, this mashup sounds like a singular song that represents a man having an internal conflict as he's in denial about the abusive relationship he has with a drug, or maybe an actual person. Rick James vocals represent the part of himself that's addicted and in denial while the Dio vocals kinda represent the man's conscience, trying to break through and get the man to end his toxic relationship with the substance/person. Or maybe I'm reading too much into it. Either way, this mashup is absolute art.
Indeed! I feel so lucky to have seen Ronnie with “Heaven & Hell” before he died! Both these legends have wonderful documentaries out about them as well that I can’t recommend enough. DIO - “DIO: Dreamers Never Die” Rick James (byatch!) - “Bitchin’: The Sound & Fury of Rick James” If you’re a fan of either or both, GO WATCH THEM! Their histories alone will blow your mind!
Craziest part of this is Dio’s outfit fits perfectly with Rick James’group and then Rick James doing the devil horns. Wtf. Did these guys plan this 40 years ago???
Oh - my - goodness!!!!!! For a Black kid growing up in Detroit, listening to Rick James and R&B in my neighborhood yet at home, listening to metal, THIS was absolutely fantastic!!! 😄 Thank you...
@@williamsexton3078because that is the way we were conditioned to think. Society and group behaviours are for the most part by design. To keep us separated and ignorant. Always thinking our way is the best and those outside of our circle are less than. Time to think for ourselves.
We might have if Hendrix would’ve stayed around and fm radio didn’t go so commercial in the mid to late 70’s. But I’m sure that Hendrix would’ve been the first to pull it off. I’m surprised that Prince didn’t either.
If you like 'Soul Metal', check bands from the 80s and 90s like: 24/7 Spyz, Living Colour, Fishbone, Kings X, even Ben Harper to a lesser metal, more Rock extent, to name only a few.
While this is a great mix and Bill talents are not to be denied or denigrated, this genre is not a new creation. One example I have for you is the “Loud Rocks” album from 1999. Check it out.
@@TurboGent fair enough, but if you haven't yet, check out the originals, Holy Diver by Dio and Mary Jane by Rick James. I saw Dio's last concert before he passed away, RIP. Never got to see Rj but he's gone too now RIP.
Agreed! I’m blown away! Not just at how well it was done (seamless to my ears) and it’s such a perfect fit. No doubt that both Ronnie James Dio and Rick James would like it.
I'm sorry, but this is perfection. It really is. I find myself listening to this more than Holy Diver lately. It truly is spot on. It's like it was supposed to happen. Too bad Ronnie and Rick aren't around to hear this. Xoxoxo
The Sabbath/Temptations one is the same. I cannot listen to Children of the Grave and not start singing "I never had a girl that makes me feel the way that you do" 🤣🤣
Rich was a great man in my opinion, i was his personal bodyguard in the Buffalo area in the 80's whenever he was back in town. This man was HILARIOUS to be around and i think of him OFTEN, we ALL have shortcomings and demons to deal with. Great video !
"Do you love me,Mary Jane?" "No..." "Do you love me Mary Jane?" "Get away,get away!!" That's brilliant!!! ✌🏻😊 Actually this is Epic from the first note to the last... Bill, you're a Genius!!! ✨👍🏻👍🏻✨🤟🏻🇮🇹❤️🥵🌡️🇮🇹‼️
I swear to God you are operating on a different plane of consciousness to the rest of us. How do you consistently do this?! The quality of these mash ups is nothing short of amazing.
I was thinking the same thing. It's interesting that his vocals were more noticeable when isolated and mixed over the Dio trackouts. This is also testament to the incredible talent of engineer Art Stewart in the original recording and Bill Mcklintock's uncanny abilities to not just find and mix complementary sample sources but also his audio engineering skills. The vocal stem on this track sounds so much more clear and audible than on the original Rick James track.
@@mikelprescott628 Definitely. It's one of the reasons I cannot get into funk that much. The vocals are drowning in the instruments somehow... doesn't get time to shine properly like we see here
@@MichaelHolmgaard ...Funk is about the collective Vibe of the whole song not just vocals. It's a worthy genre of music like any other but it's more focused on rhythm and movement, so if you don't have that it makes it harder to appreciate.
@@jiveturkeylee I played drums for 10 years so I have rhythm and movement. I just don't like funk music overall. I can appreciate the talent that goes into it, but the music is not my style at all. Great musicians though 🙌
@@BKLYN_TZU man it has been so long I didn't even remember the Rick James song. I had to look it up and listen to it. I still don't remember it from back in the day, and it is ok, but this mashup knocks it out of the water.
As a devout Scandinavian metalhead I should be crying " Herecy"!!!! so loud it would resound and resonate to the depths of the Netherworld but this is just so spot on that any objection evaporates as quickly as a Mary Jane on an episode of Soul Train........ The two dancing ladies in their high boots are a perfectly placed addition to the original song too... Nice.
Right! It seems so sacreligious, on first impression...and then it just freakin' WORKS so well. That's when you know you have grown with music. Don't let music outgrow you.
I'm a metalhead... I also mange nightclubs and venues in NYC- one of the BEST live performances I've ever seen wasn't a metal act, it was George Clinton amd Parliamentary Funkadelic- their lives are top notch, no matter WHAT genre you prefer
Holy diver... holy mary jane? more like HOLY SHIT! This is incredible. And fuck, George's solo has obviously been written solely for the purpose of being in this gem 20 years late!
The obvious question now is to hear Ronnie Dio singing over Rick's Mary Jane, but it wouldn't be as fun. This is past gold. I could see Rick James fully digging this.
You’ve outdone yourself with this solid tribute to Rick & Ronnie. I think they would be truly impressed. The mind blower was George Lynch’s solo!!! Bravo!!🇺🇸
@@sheeznutz2254 idk he made it work with rick so if you can work with rick james you can probably work with almost anyone except maybe ike ikes got a strong fast pimp hand well now I just want to see a death match ike turner's bitch slap vs rick james' bitch slap
The contrasting styles between Rick James's voice and the music from Holy Diver is a surprisingly awesome combo. I never would have thought to put those two things together. Brilliant.
The absolute HOLY GRAIL to a good mashup is finding a key/tempo/melodic hook combo that ensures a smoothness to the transformation. McLintock has always been good, but this is one of the best.
Color me mesmerized. This is brilliant right down to the speed of the girl's dance steps, Dio's knowing stare to Rick's drug references and the band in sync. I love it!
I couldn't get enough of the "I Wouldn't Want to Be Like You"/"Holy Diver" mashup, and now I have this mashup with "Mary Jane" to listen to again and again. Thank you, Bill. ❤
@Eugene Dorsey IV Oh, I loved that even more! Bill skillfully tuned and synced Dio's "Stand Up and Shout" vocals to match the melody of "Shake Your Body (Down to the Ground)."
The work that went into the audio sync and video sync up is amazing. This is fuckin incredible yo. Very impressive work. This Mashup was meant to happen and I'm glad I found this.
I was bullied relentlessly for loving Rick James by some metalheads I knew back in high school. I wish I could show this to them. Seamless, flawless. Bravo, my friend!
I'm a metalhead since the glory days of NWOBHM (1979) AND was always thrilled by Rick James, Prince, Bootsy Collins, George Clinton, Betty Davis, Zapp, Cameo, Mother's Finest and Co.....
The Lynch Mob Rules. Poor George Lynch has has to show his ID to club-owners thanks to the various hate groups that sprang up at the height of the "Alt Right"....everybody forgets that a Lynch Mob out West had nothing to do with the KKK, so now George has to prove his band name isn't anything to do with white power.

@@csguy3223 Forget the haters, Street Songs is a killer album.

Have you seen the interview with Dave Grohl and Pharrell where he's telling him that all of his songs are taken from the Gap band and disco😮😮😮
Yes! I'm awestruck I love it
That connection you speak of is Foghat.
That was mind blowing ..when they did the drums and it kicked into the gap band it was like woa!
Hughes-Coverdale era Deep Purple, early whitesnake and Hughes era Sabbath(7th star) while not soul metal, they tickled the taint of soul.
I was almost afraid to hit play. But as Rick once said "Bill McClintock Mashups are a hell of a drug".

One of the best mashups I've ever seen. RJD and Rick James look like they shop at the same clothing store too.

This was so insanely incredible! My fave part is where Rick throws the devil fingers in the air!
Throw the Horns
Why?
He knew a Dio mashup was coming...
Well for Rockers it's the devil fingers, but it's actually The Funk Symbol for us Funksters.
It's actually a religious sign. Nothing funky about it
"Do you love me Mary Jane!"
"No, NO!"
"Do you love me, do you love me, do you love me..."
"Get away, get away, get away!"
Perfection.
😂 perfect timing
The voices in my head after day one of trying to stop smoking.
😂😂😂😂 Spot on! Hilarious , almost brilliant! 😂😊
Perfect for the full moon aka Blue Moon. Matches Ricks outfit.

Color me mesmerized. This is brilliant right down to the speed of the girl's dance steps, Dio's knowing stare to Rick's drug references and the band in sync. I love it!
The best mash up of them all.
Bill you are a wizard. Beautiful mash worthy of listening to in its own right. Neither song suffered in the making of this video
sorry for me ignorance lad, but could ye tell this old bloke if its real or a montage ? anywho....damn good àlchemy👌😆🤘
@@skywarp2414 montage mix up. First one for me..
Will be back. 😁
I couldn't get enough of the "I Wouldn't Want to Be Like You"/"Holy Diver" mashup, and now I have this mashup with "Mary Jane" to listen to again and again. Thank you, Bill. ❤
For me it was the Mashup with Dio and Gloria Gaynor.
All of his Dio mashups are just great.
@Eugene Dorsey IV Oh, I loved that even more! Bill skillfully tuned and synced Dio's "Stand Up and Shout" vocals to match the melody of "Shake Your Body (Down to the Ground)."
Seamless perfection. Loving Rick’s proto-angels doing backup vocals.
This is one of the most amazing things I've ever heard. This owns the goal of a satire/mashup/remix... it elevates them both.
This shhhhhhh is beautiful!!!!! You should get an Oscar for the video, and a Grammy for the music. It went together beautifully
This is so amazing. Rick James doing Dio's metal horns is the icing on the cake.
The work that went into the audio sync and video sync up is amazing. This is fuckin incredible yo. Very impressive work. This Mashup was meant to happen and I'm glad I found this.
Me too. I most definitely agree.
Wow , what a crossover 👏 This rocks !
I was bullied relentlessly for loving Rick James by some metalheads I knew back in high school. I wish I could show this to them. Seamless, flawless. Bravo, my friend!
To hell with em. Rick James had mojo.
I'm a metalhead since the glory days of NWOBHM (1979) AND was always thrilled by Rick James, Prince, Bootsy Collins, George Clinton, Betty Davis, Zapp, Cameo, Mother's Finest and Co.....
Rick James got more pussy in one afternoon than most metalheads get in a lifetime.
They sound a bit gay
I assume you busted their lips on a continuous basis back then.
Masterpiece!! Even dropped in a George Lynch solo. Mind blown!
Cool, but the Lynch Mob "Wicked Sensation" solo was DELICIOUS
This
LIKE SWEET MAPLE CREAM........that shit knocked me out of my chair back to 1991.....absolute master stroke
The Lynch Mob Rules. Poor George Lynch has has to show his ID to club-owners thanks to the various hate groups that sprang up at the height of the "Alt Right"....everybody forgets that a Lynch Mob out West had nothing to do with the KKK, so now George has to prove his band name isn't anything to do with white power.
To the person who created this, you are a absolute legend 🤘💯 this is the best thing ever!
For a stoner who is both a fan of RJD and Rick, this might be the greatest thing I've ever seen😂
