Just finished watching " Dio: Dreamers Never Die" documentary. Soooo good❤️

Brad Gillis is criminally under rated. I've seen him live, his CONTROL is legendary, there really is no one like him and I feel like he gets over looked because Night Ranger, while all great artists and musicians, wrote a bunch of top 40 stuff and fluff hits and their harder stuff was Bon Jovi lite. I'm not dissing, it's just how I see it.

Shout to every single guitarist on the track, because they all kicked absolute ass ( the most unsung heroes here were Neil Schon, Buck Dharna and Eddie Ojeda who completely rocked) But a special shout out to Dave Murray and Adrian Smith for providing the harmonized guitars that absolutely tied this all together beautifully and melodic.

They made a small mistake of putting him close to the mic + naturally strong voice + always goes all in. Had to tune him down in the mix and was still the loudest. If you have a good studio headphones, even though this is an old record you can really only hear Rob's scream and Tate's "muddy" voice color. And at the end only Rob then only Tate (I guess they mixed it like that with intention). What a machines.

Большим событием становится собрать пару-тройку звёзд вместе. Три оперных певца, рокер и примадонна, три супергитариста. Это всё записывается, и десятилетиями остаётся хитом. А тут - все участники с полным правом могли сказать: МЫ ЗВЁЗДЫ. Даже в ряду других коллабораций - эта встреча остаётся уникальной. Можно сразу сравнивать всех. Ронни Джеймс Дио собрал музыкантов для записи сингла "Stars", заглавной песни альбома. Собрались несколько десятков ведущих представителей тяжёлых стилей. И тут, Ронни оказался очень хитрым политиком и экспериментатором. Он собрал звёзд, которых считал ровней себе, и на своих условиях - их всех проверил. Устроил рейтинг, и застолбил своё место. Он был первым. (И видно, как напрягаются певцы, чтобы выпевать достойно.) А Ронни спел легко. Он много дел сделал помимо самого акта доброй воли. Изучил по-быстрому характеры инструменталистов, с кем можно посотрудничать. Посмотрел на их возможности в том стиле, который исповедует сам. Нашёл Крейга Голди. (Нового гитариста.) Видно было, что Крейг несколько напряжён рядом с Вивианом, неуловимо на кадрах видно. Вивиан был просто бесподобен! (Прежний гитарист группы.) Ингви был богоподобен, а Вивиан же - значительно изобретательнее. За кадром остались личные контакты людей, оценка, кто чего стоит. Уникальный эксперимент, помимо его музыкального и фактического значения. Хотелось бы не раз получить подобную историческую летопись. Вот бы собрать новых звёзд! ------------------------------------------------ Дополню для тех, кто знает участников поимённо. Никто не обратил внимание на одну профессиональную деталь. (Я так думаю). По движениям поющих, можно видеть, какими долями каждый из них отсчитывает музыку. По этому - можно предположить, как быстро они мыслят в смысле музыкального темпа. Многие - считают четвертями, это видно по тому, как они пританцовывают, качают головой, притопывают ногой. Ингви - считает восьмыми. Отчётливо. kzread.info/dash/bejne/h3yImrhuf6zRnJc.html Некоторые же - воспринимают музыку "волной, потоком", такие музыканты - не считают её при помощи тела. Это другой тип отсчёта. Это мышление фразами, как у Блэкмора. В принципе, такой подход (мышление фразами) - раскрепощает , уводит из-под власти пульсации тела, в которой сбивки и акценты не свойственны размеренному тактированию. Этому приходится учиться особо. ------------------------------------------------ Кстати, то, что Вивиану недоплачивали в группе - видно по его гитаре, вполне заурядному Фендеру без особых наворотов, не самому дорогому.

From time when people still smiled and had their own opinions.

Weiss, you're the man. I'm startin' savin' money for your book... meanwhile thank you for these gifts!

There was only one interesting thing about this song, Yngwie Malmsteen, when the solos started i said to myself that no matter who is playing, they all sounds the same till Yngwie entered, he was already in 1985 better than all the rest, actually he was the only one that i could recognize instantly, he was and still is on a league of his own, the song itself is a generic Dio song that had an added value because the great vocalists who were singing besides Ronnie James Dio and the lead guitar parts of Yngwie Malmsteen, another good thing about this video are the photos of the artists that reminds me that they and i myself were once young, God bless!!!

Scheduling. I’m sure they reached out to tons of artists. Dio had beef with Sabbath so that wasn’t happening. Same with Purple because of Blackmore.

But the bottom line is, “hey, we’ve got the studio booked on these days. Can you make it?” Some could, some couldn’t.
