Vivian Campbell with that les Paul killed it

All of these guys are beyond incredible, but Viv owns that music. He was, and is, so incredible!

Vivian Campbell best 💥🤘 for Dio..

Craig, Steve and Doug you really are exceptional, incredible, from another planet ..... but sorry guys, this guitar solo belongs to Vivian ...

VIVIAN CAMPBELL NUMBER 1

Viv Campbell is my personal favorite and main guitar influence. His tone and bends are incredible. Goldy did everything as everyone said, made justice to respect the solo. Doug aldridge is Doug Aldridge…simply amazing. Steve Morse, cmon…cant touch that man…he is also a legend.

I believe , Craig Goldie did it the most justice , meaning he gave the best evolutionary direction to the original Vivian's solo.

That was also my takeaway. In many ways, Craig was a better guitarist than Vivian because he not only contributed the most insane live solo of any guitarist to work with Dio on the same tour he was featured on in this clip, but he was also capable of adapting to Viv's signature style and also expand upon it a bit, whereas I don't think Vivian could ever do the crazy stuff Craig did on this tour or the subsequent Dream Evil and Magica albums. For his part, Doug Aldrich did an excellent job of miming Vivian's solo, which is essentially what he took to Killing The Dragon, he essentially recreated Viv's style without really changing anything, which is what everybody wanted at the time since it was clear that Vivian and Ronnie were never going to reconcile. Steve Morse's interpretation is interesting in its own right, as it is probably the closest we'll ever come to hearing what Ritchie Blackmore's interpretation of the solo might have been had Dio stayed in Rainbow and successfully pitched the song to him. On the merits it comes off as weaker because it's the most different, but it definitely has a charm to it.

They're all amazing, and it's Vivian's solo, but Doug Aldrich is a BEAST. Holy shit

Vivian Campbell own his own solo and is a beast. And as much as I adore Dio. Why can't he shut up when a solo is played and why can't ha perform live on pair with the studio recordings.

Ok, is that Andy Serkis in the video with Vivian playing...?!!

Awesome video - it was Viv's solo on this song that inspired me to pick up the guitar. As the originator, it's tough to say someone else does a better job with it. Aldrich is a monster and filled not only Vivian's (and Blackmore's) roles with Dio, but also the roles of John Sykes/Adrian Vandenburg/Steve Vai in Whitesnake. For Steve Morse, my guess is that this was a joint appearance between Deep Purple and Dio at some point and he was winging the solo based on the chord charts and what he could remember from hearing it on the radio. Goldy does a phenomenal job with it, but I always thought it a bit of a shame that Dio had him recreate/approximate Vivian's solo. It would have been really interesting to see how he would have approached the song and solo given the opportunity to do it his way.

Personally, I think it says a lot, or rather it says everything you need to say in that players the caliber of Goldy and Aldrich kept 90 plus percent of the originality intact. They played Vivian's solo, not theirs. What the hell else can you say that is louder testimony in favor of Vivian? Goldy and Aldrich are badass players, undoubtedly, and they both knew not to fuck with something that didn't need fucked with. That being said, I vote the following: 1. Campbell, 2. Aldrich, 3. Goldy, 4. Morse

Campbell, surprisingly, had some trouble getting the original solo to work, and has to resort to soundalike stock licks; Goldy's rendition, on the other hand, leaves the impression that he is holding back. Aldrich is probably the closest one to the original, but I also thinks he saps it of much of its intensity.

Vivian, followed by Goldy and then whoever else.

As good as Steve is ....he pissed all over the solo to this song.

I still think Craig is the best, and WTF was Steve Morse playing? Idk wtf that was. He hit maybe 20% of the correct notes.

Vivian.

Sorry but Steve Morse didnt play RITD solo. It was just an improvisation

Craig and Tracy G are my favorite Dio guitar players. Interesting you gave Vivian more air time than the others. And some of the quality of the videos are not great. That isn't fair.

I grew up having Craig as a personal mentor when I was a teenager, so perhaps I'm biased, but he killed it. Not a sloppy note to be found.

To me Craig really pushed it harder than Vivian did.

Campbell, Goldy, Aldrich. Of course, Campbell wrote the piece, but the other two played it equally as well. Overall, I think Aldrich is the best all-around player of the three. That’s taking nothing from the other two, though. For Dio solos they’re all even.

You just can't copy Campbell. Feel is not something you can steal. Goldy is trying so hard to make something that is as good, and he misses the target completely no matter how hard he try. It seems like he try to outrun Campbell's feel by adding technic and complexity, but sorry mate, you only did it worse by doing that.

Nah he just outplayed what Campbell could do. Even by his own admission. Campbell is on record saying that he is self taught and it has drawbacks.
