Axel Rudi Pell-Holy Diver (Dio cover)

[TheFreakyCreepy]

I think this is one of my fav songs! I love the song, it's so beautiful :'3

[RockinRobert19]

Ronnie James Dio and Freddy Mercury may both be gone..But thank god we still have Johnny Gioeli. RIP Dio

[gperchenko]

Some how this version makes me want to cry. Remembering great musician, great vocalist and above all this great person that Ronnie was. If only it would become easier with time.My dear Ronnie, miss you so much.

[Zep713100]

R.I.P. Ronnie James Dio! Aivan mahtava versio, Amazing great voice. Great Jonny Gioli! Great tribute! Dio forever!

[debtom522]

R.I.P. Ronnie Dio. Great tribute...nice twist to the original.

[psainio1]

Ajatus hyvä, toteutus halpa ja surkea - kammottava ja tyylitajuton laulaja. Ilmeisesti laulajalle ei kukaan kertonut, että HD:sta ollaan nyt tekemässä nk. "balladi"-versiota - tyyppi ähkyilee ja kiristelee kuin tappelisi jumalatonta Marshall-pinoa vastaan.

Alkeellinen piano-tämmäys ei pelasta tilannetta. Holy Diverissa olisi ainesta balladiksi, mutta tämä on todella luokaton veto. Ja vielä ne halvat konejouset - ei kiitos!

[David199414]

lol

[0XxClaymanxX0]

Que suerte tiene un guitarrista tan mediocre como Axl de tener en sus filas a un dios como es Johnny Gioeli...

[MrXMAN1963]

AMAZING

[LordKelias]

Для меня, их творчество - эталон рок/метал музыки. ARP - Forever! ;)

[SuperMarines1000]

Он бесподобен!!!!!!

[federico1636]

This guy Gioeli is AMAZING!!! RJD will be happy and proud to recieve a tribute like this . Amazing quilaity

[talisaaa]

wish they'd come to argentina.. :(

[Minme4ever]

This is fo fkin great!! Goosebumps alert..... This band must be promoted on MTV and all other music chanels all over the world, its awesome!!!!!! Glad i've booked tickets to Berlin 2th of May 2012. Can't wait, Axel!!

[MarcusTheRocker]

@Minme4ever totally agreed. I've booked my tickets for the London show on the 22nd April. So fucking excited to see ARP live for the first time since I became a fan 2 years ago in 2009 :-DA

[xolvo68]

I guess that Ronnie James is nodding his head in heaven and agree that Johnny & Axel Rudi has given him an wonderful tribute here :-)

[MsLegionofhell]

We need more vocalists like Johnny Gioeli

[nsminc]

Great tribute to a timeless song and man.

I'm sure Ronnie smiles from up above every time he hears this.

[MsLegionofhell]

@nsminc Funny thing: Dio's dead.

But very good analogy.

[Commenter717]

Sorry Dio fans, this song sucks. Axel Rudi Pell just made it bearable.

[cumaxxa]

eine herrliche ballade, geht total unter die haut , geniesen wir diese klänge .... :-)))))9

[guitarkeef]

SCHRECKLICH - Diese Nummer von Ronnie James Dio zu verhunzen. Und dann 'ne Stimme wie der unsagbare BJ - Aber Opa, Oma, Papa und Mutti un Tante Else gefällts wohl... Prollschmalz

[ChaosMaster7]

How can you consider yourself a Dio fan and not like this? No, LOVE THIS

[pedroamaral1908]

Dio fanboys are so damn annoying...

[ChaosMaster7]

@pedroamaral1908 Meh, troll harder

[pedroamaral1908]

@ChaosMaster7 Seriously, they bash every single cover of Dio songs just because they're "Not as good as Dio's verion". I bet Dio himself would be pleased to hear all of these covers.

[uplifter1000]

@pedroamaral1908

who is DIO?! never heard of him/her/them....but I do know of Axel - in the USA, too! xx

[MsLegionofhell]

@uplifter1000 Dio is a famous metal musician, known for popularizing the m/ symbol (the horns) and for his powerful voice in rock.

[uplifter1000]

@MsLegionofhell

Thank you! I had no idea - esp that sign, seen it - but now i know - :) Thanks! :)

[matrims]

@MsLegionofhell funny thing is the sign is for warding of evil spirits or demons dont remmember exactly wich one

[MsLegionofhell]

@pedroamaral1908 You do have a point.

[joerg3539]

Great song, a cool voice, just great

[Lipari85]

Perhaps Dio Fans don't like it. But realy ARP Fans love the song =).

[ROBERTVANJOVI]

PEDAZO D VERSION

[zargonnas1]

überraschend, dass pell daraus eine akustikversion gebastelt hat - hat aber was.

[pullthetrigger23]

boring.. slowing a song down and making it a ballad always makes you find lots of people who are buying it, but the energy of the original is lost..

[terr0rc0uple]

They have to do a heavy version

[TempleOfInanna2]

Things like this just show how much Ronnie meant to the metal communtiy. Bands of all genres coming out of the wood work to pay tribute. Btw...this is a GREAT cover. ARP owns :)

[PiabaMash]

omg this version is really awesome

[matttluchowski]

lmfao

[ursela1990]

ronnie würde es lieben

[BIFFBRUCE]

great song from a great master They let your music live on

thx ronnie&johny

[MyMakeUpChannel100]

Johnny, Jorn , Lunde , ear candy

[zetix9r]

My god what a beautiful way to honor RJD, he would have liked this version a lot. Great job Axel

[cumaxxa]

einfach nur wunderwunderschöner song........ arp sind wohl ausnahmemusiker :-))))), genial, ich mag diese balladen sehr und höre sie oft sehr oft

[focusRSedition]

Why is this band not one of the worlds greatest?!!

[MyMakeUpChannel100]

@focusRSedition They are.

[armisable]

somedy asked, who could sing like Mercury, or even similar to mercury? I think the only one - the answer we hear here.

[RileXWoWFreaK]

Fucking incredible!

[Adrian92Smith]

Greatest tribute to Dio I've ever heard.

[NapoleonJonamiteInc]

Mouse acted up and I accidentally hit dislike. Anyway, this is a great cover by ARP, Johnny's vocals are just a great fit for a song like this.

[SebaRainbow]

Totally unnecessary ...

[19Snow88Patrol]

@SebaRainbow And why do you think this? It's such a great cover..

[TheLyonhard]

@SebaRainbow why?

[SebaRainbow]

@TheLyonhard It's totally different to the original, just do not like .. As the version of "The temple of the king" but I respect any opinion ..

[TheLyonhard]

@SebaRainbow I appreciate your point of view :)

[SebaRainbow]

@TheLyonhard Thanks, you're the only person who did it, removed my comment "by negative feedback" I was not offensive, just put my humble opinion .... And democracy?

[DivergingInterests]

I'm so sorry, Dio.

[leonsonicthehedgehog]

so fucking good!!!

[SinInstinct]

such an amazing song! Perfect combination!

[Eberandom]

i love you Johnny... I love you ='(

[eBrandingGroup]

Amazing Sound!!! I really think Johnny is one of the greatest vocalists of all time, and amazing that he is not more well known in the us.

[MarcusTheRocker]

@eBrandingGroup agreed. The whole world needs to know about amazing singers like Johnny

[19Snow88Patrol]

@MarcusTheRocker the holy band is amazing... the whole world needs to know about amazing singers and bands like this!! I have to buy their cd :)

[nickz140v1]

@eBrandingGroup I played some Axel Rudi Pell songs to my father whos been listening to rock music etc. for about 30+years now,and what he asked me jokingly,not knowing what band it was,"Is that Freddy Mercury" :D,enough said....

[TheEdna1209]

Thank you for video! very, very nice song! I loved Axel...

[MarcusTheRocker]

@TheEdna1209 you're welcome :-D

[BioPheonix]

wow really nice song, i never thought holy diver by dio would be put softly but hey it still sounds great

[MarcusTheRocker]

@BioPheonix so very true :-)
