I heard a story that whenever they were in the studio recording this song The producers heard them walking down the hallway and said that's what we want that sells that music is gold
Hands down the BEST comments!! So much love and respect for Vivian Campbell, aka. my all time favorite guitarist!! I love everyone that commented on here!! LOVE YOU VIVIAN!!!
@@mikeopeka9900 - I was replying to the OP, who said Vivian Campbell is the standard by which others are measured. What I meant was Vivian is the standard for playing Rainbow In The Dark (and other songs he wrote and originally played on), rather than the standard for guitar playing in general.
Appice and Campbell go a long way to make this legit. I have to give the lead singer some credit here. Filling Dio's shoes is not for the faint of heart and untalented.....
The singer does a fairly good job. I’m sure he could easily sing Motley Crue and not even break a sweat. RJD? I give this guy credit for even getting up on that stage WITH Vivian Campbell AND Vinnie Apiece and going for it AND not embarrassing himself. (That’s a compliment by the way.) I’ve heard lesser singers attempt RJD vocals and not pull it off AT ALL. Good to see Vivian and Vinnie still doing it. Bass player didn’t shit the bed. So overall pretty good. I could get drunk to this (another compliment). 🤙🏼
I just love Vivian Campbell. No other Dio guitarist comes close. When I watched the mighty Gary Moore perform Black Rose on the Phil Lynott tribute I was totally in awe of his playing and wondered if anyone could equal this. Sure enough the Thin Lizzy tribute band featuring Vivian nailed it beautifully. Gary Moore, Vivian Campbell and of course Phil Lynott/Thin Lizzy are national treasures of Ireland. All the very best to Vivian in anything you do. Cheers 👍😀
Why criminal, everyone who says someone is underrated don't really understand.he is not underrated, it's just a term people use as they don't understand themselves...
@stephenpatton6985 rating is an opinion using ones own taste as the metric.

Thanks for your candid yet unsolicited verdict/ ruling on the value and ranking of Vivian Campbell, enlightening everyone who is fortunate enough to read your comment. Thank you for channeling your inner Gene Simmons for us..unless it's actually you, Gene..Than Thank you for inventing the internet..and Shoes. We are forever in your debt.
Dio was and is the god of metal, but I went to see Dio on the LiL tour to see Vivian play. To a young guitarist, he was it!!!!! Saw Viv again with Whitesnake and got to hang with him for a bit, he hung with us until the tour bus left, ignoring the groupies and talking guitars. He became more my guitar hero that day. If they come anywhere near my town on tour, I am there!
Flying in from Finland to see them in the very same place on Nov 19th. Saw TheEndMachine there a couple of years back and loved the place. Never got to see Vivian live with Dio....Vinny of course many times.
Vivian Campbell é formidável nas seis cordas, som limpo sai dos alto-falantes, tbm virtuoso e pesado. Vinnie Appice dono de um peso estratosférico, legendário, um responsável por eu amar o instrumento!
I've seen viv loads in recent times with Def Leppard and yes he takes more of a back seat. BUT his playing is always very emotional. When he plays the goldtop les Paul with p90's it blows me away.
Viv nailed back then and nailed it today. Wish he would go a little more wilder like he did back in the day but we all getting a little old and rusty. Lol.
Vivian Campbell is a monster
Ryan Mumford I like his tone. Clean .
Why is Vivian a monster? I'm just curious and want to know if it's the same reason why I think he's a monster.
Divana Harston
Because he’s a bitchin guitar player!
Thats right buddy
Yeah, i'm a big Craig Goldy fan, but there's something special going when Viv and Vinnie play the old Dio songs.
i love to see Vivian playing his own solo :')
Yep nobody can do that solo justice except Vivian!!!
Me, too! I love watching Vivian cover Vivian!
I heard a story that whenever they were in the studio recording this song The producers heard them walking down the hallway and said that's what we want that sells that music is gold
Vivian Campbell is the best guitarist on the planet. He's the only guy to make shivers run down my spine - love him❤
Imagine Vivian Campbell and Joey jordison playing together would be sick to watch these two are my favorites 😊
That classic tone. Cambell killed that solo. Awesome!
Vivian Campbell is one of those iconic guitarists, and this band killed it.

Vivian nailed it.
Well, he wrote it...
@@Holdington Tell that to Lars, LOL.
One of the greatest songs - and solos - ever written! Vivian, you are the standard by which others are measured.
zackstork hahahahaha you live in a very small world
This solo is definitely a fav of mine, and one of the most tasteful ever recorded for sure !!! 🤘🤘🤘
Other people playing Rainbow In The Dark, sure.

That's also Phil Soussan (Ozzy) on the bass.
This never gets old. Sad that Vivian and Dio had a falling out, but this is just as good as ever!
Nodody does that song like Vivian. Awesome work!
great song...Vivians solos have a lot of passion...the best
Mr. Campbell is playing better than 30 years ago. Amazing talent
Hope so
Él siempre tocó así de bien.
When he was young he was a beast
40 years
The real vivian campbell showed up !!!
Vivian still kills that solo. I mean that in a good way!
Extremely challenging song vocally. Well done!
Saw this show and couldn’t believe how well Andrew Freeman nailed the vocals.
I thought he did an awesome job with the and of course nobody compares to Vivian play in his songs
vocals
One of the best solos ever🤘🏻
Cleanest hammer on and pull off guitarist, period. And seems like a really humble, nice guy.

Love watching Vivian enjoying playing his older music. I smiled the whole time

I was fortunate enough to see Vivian with Dio back in 1985 on the Sacred Heart tour. This is the music Viv was meant to play.
I saw that tour in providence ri. My hometown... Dio slayed the magical dragon. What a show! Vivian is my idol !
Truly one of the best solos of all time, this or any genre
The real Vivian Campbell playing how he should always play.... Fretboard demon 🤘🤘
The great Master!, I just love his incredible feeling ❤, those harmoniiiiiicssssss!!!!!!!
Vivian Campbell a ace guitarists 🎸 👍
Probably my favorite solo of all time! Definately top 5
Hooooly shit that solo is played so perfectly… joy to watch the author play it
Vivian's solo needs those last few notes with harmonics to do it for me! He killed it! Absolutely amazing!
You know Vivian has to be enjoying playing his old songs. Probably feels a little like being 22 again.
😮 Es que lo calca. Es la Hostia. Bendisiones desde Nicaragua.
Great guitar sound
Great band and awesome singer. Viv is still ferocious!
Viv makes it look like a walk in the park! Awesome!
Vivian is one of my all time favs
Gracias Vivian por seguir conservando esas notas para transmitir lo mismo desde el principio de esa gran banda! Dio por siempre!🤘🏼😎🖤
Good to see Vivian playing heavy guitar riffs. He is not allowed to do that in his full time gig.
rottdog666 if he didn’t like his full time gig I’m sure he wouldn’t of done it all these years, makes a shit ton of $$$$ out of def Leppard.
Long live vivain Campbell you are the best.

Still holds his own to this day! He looks so much more in his element playing HIS music.
Viv is a guitar GOD🤟🤟
Keep it up Viv...great job..!!
That guitar solo gives me chills. 🎸
Lucky to have met Vivian when he was in Whitesnake. Gracious man, down to Earth.
love Viv's Engl's.....killer tone
Vivian Campbell awesome job brother you rock
Vivian killed it - loved it - on my list to see next time there are in town.
Cambell.... I got no words!
A big hello to vinnie appice Your a legend.
Wow! Original Dio guys!! Vivian and Vinnie!! That`s More like it!!
Wow!!! so good to see Vivian tearing it up and in the zone, one of my favorite guitar payers of all time. 👋👋👋
Awesome solo Brother Perfection the band is smokin :-)
1st concert I ever saw, Dio Last in Line (1985) with Dokken Tooth and Nail, Campbell and Lynch, 2 of the Goats of 80s Rock !!
Amazing work
Watching Vivi clap at the end,was an absolute thrill!! Bravo...
What a lineup! Amazing!
I see Vivian and Vinnie and hit play immediately.
R.i.p dio your a rainbow in the dark.
Took me back to San Diego november 1984... the last in line tour, I was 18 yo, I'm 55 now and love the 80' rock, not the crap from these days
Most excellant, one of my and rocks all time kick ass songs. Viv and Vinnie and Phil sounded great and Andrew not too shabby on vocals.
Vinny Appice is the best dude!!!
Very good vocals, no easy task
Flying in from Finland to see them in the very same place on Nov 19th. Saw TheEndMachine there a couple of years back and loved the place. Never got to see Vivian live with Dio....Vinny of course many times.
Is that vinnie on the drums?🫢
Vivian Campbell oh it's truly amazing solo second to none ...u are the shah,the king,the god of Guitar
It’s good to see the original lineup again. I grew up when this album came out! Vivian’s playing is still very good!
Original? No
I wish this guy didn't decide to become a hired hand...awesome guitarist
Vivian rules 🤘
Awesome job guys! Vivian, it's great to see you rocking man! Kudos to everyone for doing a great job on a great song.
This is just great.
Awesome Dio 🤘, Brings back so much memories,
Vivian Campbell is AWESOME!
Viv's pinch harmonic is legend
Y'all are pretty good.
Yall are pretty good.
I love Andrew Freeman's vocals. Killer singer no matter what band he's in.
Amazing!!!!
One of the best guitar solos of all time ... right there with JP’s solo on Stairway to Heaven ... classic
Hey. I stumbled upon this....and it was very very good!!
Always love Dio. And Vivian is so fucking awesome. Nice to see him up front kicking ass.
Rock and Roll magic.
got to love those pick slides
Very cool DIO tribute band with some great musicians filling the roles. I bet the tickets aren't 25 bux for this tribute band,
nice job on guitar and vocals, I've seen dio in concert during this tour and what a concert
I believe it was anthrax opening for dio in florida
The Legend Vivian Campbell -- .KILLCODE is stoked to be sharing the stage with Last in Line May 3 in Wantagh NY
Vivian Campbell é formidável nas seis cordas, som limpo sai dos alto-falantes, tbm virtuoso e pesado. Vinnie Appice dono de um peso estratosférico, legendário, um responsável por eu amar o instrumento!
He should be the lead other than def leppard dude
UNA DE LAS CANCIONES MAS HERMOSAS DEL HEAVY METAL , HOMENAJE AL MAS GRANDE CANTANTE RONNIE JAMES DIO !!!!
So Fantastic!
This sounds really good
Awesome
I've seen viv loads in recent times with Def Leppard and yes he takes more of a back seat. BUT his playing is always very emotional. When he plays the goldtop les Paul with p90's it blows me away.
Blame it on me is a bad ass original! Can’t wait to see LIL again! Horns Up
Ladies and gentleman, perfect example of why you don’t need a name brand guitar to be an accomplished musician!
Muy bueno exelente
They will be in Sacramento ca July 13th 2017
Love it! ........Missing Ronnie though.
Last in Line is the worlds best heavy metal bands in USA & the worlds.
Viv nailed back then and nailed it today. Wish he would go a little more wilder like he did back in the day but we all getting a little old and rusty. Lol.
The solo is a killer 🎸
