The second vocalist are Dave Meniketti from Y&T. He's still going strong. 70 years old and his voice are still phenomenal. The original members unfortunately all died. Check out songs like Mean Streak, Lipstick & Leather and Black Tiger.
Thanks for the reaction. Rock greats with loads of hair giving it up for charity. Thousands of hours spent on their hair...lol! Great that you enjoyed it.
Hi Ladies, the warmest greetings from The Netherlands! Thanks you SOOOOO much for reaction to this fantastic song! One of my favorites and sooo much talent in this video. I can listen this on repeat all day. And Rob Halford........ and Geoff Tate....... and Ronnie....... it's amazing! Thank you so much!
Rob Halbord (Judas Priest) Ronnie James Dio ( Black Sabbath) Dave Murray and Adrian Smith (Iron Maiden) Yngwie Malmsteen Vivian Campbell (Dio / Def Leppard) Ted Nugent Vince Neil (Motley Crue) and many more this is the Heavy Metal version of Live Aid
There is a longer version (video) w/ many guitar solos not included in the original release. Hear 'N Aid only has the 1 song. The album is a small collection of songs donated (proceeds) by participating artists. 40 artists participated in the song. They raised $3M for charity.(famine relief for Africa). Suggestion for Queensryche - Take Hold of the Flame - Live from Tokyo 1984 (or the studio version is also great).
The story goes that the heavy metal singers wasn't asked to be a part of the Band Aid-song, so Dio and Vivian Campbell made their fecking own... and it's fantastic!
To have this much talent in one room is mind blowing. No autotune no lip singing ,just pure musicaical magic esp. with Ronnie James Dio as the true front man will never happen like this again, God bless these true gods of musicians that we have lost and keep blessing the ones we still have with us keeping it real. And please keep Booping Stellas Snoot from me with lots of scratches ,and belly rubs to her from me.🤘🤘🤟🤟🤟🤟🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤟🐶🐕🦮🐕🦺🐕🐈🐈⬛
Hi ladies, it's good to see Ms. Lulu is back. The last video that I got to watch she wasn't there. I'm sure she was out doing her Lulu things. Kathy said that she always messes up saying the band Blue Oyster Cult, but I think it sounds so cute the way she says it when she messed it up. Well, you got to see some major vocalists and guitar players in this one. One of the guitar players in there by the name of George Lynch who was the lead guitar player for the band Dokken, I saw an interview with him not long ago. Also, the lead singer from the band Dokken was singing on there too. His name is Don Dokken. Anyway, about the George Lynch interview. During the interview he was asked what it was like to play on this song with all the other guitar players. And George said: "Everybody was scared of Yngwie". He was talking about guitarist Yngwie Malmsteen. He called that right and I can understand why. As a matter of fact, anybody who plays metal guitar knows who he is. He is a Sweetish guitarist who studied classical music and then switched to playing heavy metal guitar. All of my musician friends knew his style, so when we listened to this song, we noticed that when all the guitar players started doing their parts, they would do a few fancy things on guitar. However, we all notice that after Yngwie played his part, all the guitar players who played after him just did nice basic guitar lead breaks. They were very good lead breaks but after Yngwie played his part, everybody knew that they weren't going top what he did. There is a live version of a song that he does titled: "Black Star". Just the acoustic guitar stuff that he does at the beginning of the song is crazy! Great Reaction! I mentioned everybody but Donna, so, Hi Donna! 🎼🎵🎵❤❤👍
Great reaction, Ladies! I have one you MUST do. Queensryche - Take Hold of the Flame (Live from Tokyo). Donna loves Rob Halford from Judas Priest she will absolutely love Geoff Tate, the singer in Queensryche. Trust me!
Still have my VHS tape of Hear N' Aid bought in '86 when I was 19. Please, please, please check out Jinjer's first new single that dropped 6 weeks ago. "Someone's Daughter". 🤘 It's about powerful women. 💪
Then it’s now time for Ronnie James Dio one of the best metal singers ever a lot of to experienced his own band Dio, rainbow, Black Sabbath, elf he was in all those bands hope you will give it a try!

When hard rock artists come together for a great cause it’s a great feeling
This was put together because none of the other fundraising music efforts invited any metal artists.
Rob Halbord (Judas Priest) Ronnie James Dio ( Black Sabbath) Dave Murray and Adrian Smith (Iron Maiden) Yngwie Malmsteen Vivian Campbell (Dio / Def Leppard) Ted Nugent Vince Neil (Motley Crue) and many more this is the Heavy Metal version of Live Aid

Eddie Van Halen was asked to participate but his ego had other plans.
A great song.i bought it on 45.vinyl single here in the uk..so many rock stars on it
Pretty cool that David St. Hubbins of legendary british band Spinal Tap is part of this ;)
Sort of a hard rock/heavy metal We Are The World angle, as I recall.
The story goes that the heavy metal singers wasn't asked to be a part of the Band Aid-song, so Dio and Vivian Campbell made their fecking own... and it's fantastic!

Even having Michael McKean from the movie Spinal Tap in this, always puts a smile on my face and makes me laugh.
