  • like, add to faves, share, can't i do more???

  • Wow!

    Thank you, you guys /Gal that was such an awesome tribute to Ronnie.

    I am not a negative person whatsoever but I really feel I have to say this to all of the people that left a negative post.

    First off are you people deaf?

    second of all what have you done to honor the memory of one of the greatest men to ever pick up paper and pencil and the mic besides try to bash these great musicians that have given us something really great?

    When you have 1/100th the tallent then prove it !

    AWESOME

  • Horrible :|

  • This is just not an era of metal vocalists. The era of Dickinson, Tate, Dio, and Gillan is long gone.

  • Ok.......well done, Dio's one of my idols so I commend you guys for having a go.

  • Excelente trabajo.

  • The Clarences love & support Stars 2010!

  • This is the most fucked up thing I have EVER witnessed. Thank you!

  • This is a Great Tribute to RJD! Thanks for doing it for US ! I'm glad that I found it (by interplanetary-accident) by simply typing "DIO" in UTUBE. You-guys did a Great job!

    Thanks-again for impressing me with your thoughtful, improvisional, impromptu Tribute with

    NO alterior motives attached !!! You're ALL Aces in my book of Rare Humanity !

  • That's fuckin cool!

  • If David St. Hubbins from Spinal Tap would have raped Golum, he'd be that Travis dude. This is too comical to keep to oneself.

  • @burgerpc Travis Mitchell was well known in Germany and Switzerland in the 80's. Check his band Mindstorm on YT, there are vids. He has a great voice, but it's not easy to sing DIO.

  • gr8 job! *****

  • Beautiful tribute:)

  • nice tribute  guys preety awesome

  • 1:00 , 1:08 , 1:45 are the best

  • @7blueblood I totally agree with u man, I guess the rest are good singers, but u gotta be great to sing Dio

  • Nice move for DIO. But really, listening this .. the original is faaar more quality.. A different class of voices :)

  • THIS IS AN AWESOME TRIBUTE TO A LEGEND WITH FANS LIKE THESE THE LEGEND THAT IS RONNIE JAMES DIO WILL LIVE FOREVER .............RIP

  • great guitar playing but the vocalists suck

  • @satmedown i totally agree.... but it's a shame to give negative votes, anyway.

  • No small thing all you guys putting in the time an effort..But a labour of LOVE I'm very sure..good work..Reckon RJD would have loved it..he would never have been negative to anyone with metal in their soul..so to the h8ers out there..piss off!!, don't need you, our house is full.

  • @MsChristianv8 yeah my friend....last summer...god bless RONNIE JAMES DIO

  • I recognize nobody!

  • He did so much work for the children.

  • no offence.... but the orginal version was much and much better:(

  • Good job fellas...It was an honor to watch it../:) LIKED../:) ♫♪♫

  • thank you, -- 

  • The comments are just as hilarious as this video! can't wait to show this at a party this weekend - big laughs! Thanks y'all!

  • @timmyboy1970

    get a life

  • BAD ASS!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Ronnie was such a hero to so many people and bands. He was one of the best people i ever had the chance to meet. When he passed my band also di a show with nothing but Dio covers. Thank you guys so much for doing this and showing so much respect to a true metal god. Keep the metal faith.

  • AWESOME...STRONG AND PEOPLE OF ROCK'N'ROLL...UNION MAKES THE REAL POWER...CONGRAS

  • Let me say that I am from Manitoba and recognize many of these guys personally, and they are fabulous artists. Good job guys.

  • LAME

  • Old School Metal is way much better than Modern Metal, nuff said...

  • WTF...?

  • see the two versions of these welles not come to anything alos rock gods

  • You did a great job.... period. The real Dio Fans would be grateful., ..and of course the posers will dislike.... but who cares about 'em. THEY NEVER DID ANYTHING AS MONUMENTAL AS THIS. THANK YOU GUYS. / Senor Rotten - Philippine Violators

  • great Video,great job guys all the bands rock fuck the people that put on negative posts they put there hearts and soul into the video and music

  • Well... that was... something... I guess.

  • Gotta say I liked it quite a lot. I did dislikes some parts, but come on, the original had Dio, Halford, Dokken (and many others who are fucking Metal/Rock Gods) singing in it. This was an awesome cover. Up the Horns from Argentina!

  • Dont be silly, is a tribute from people who loves Dio music and legacy, if you wanna compare, well, obviously all of you (and me) prefer the original, but is a cool effort for someone who teach us a lot. good tribute, Hail from Colombia to all my brothers in metal!!

  • It's interesting to see that many of these musicians weren't even born at the time Dio recorded this. Good music is forever

  • What a crazy bunch of odballs, respect!

  • outtchhh the original is 100% better, okay the idea is noble and cool but results isss... mOOUUUAAAHHHH

  • Great job ! Friendchips from "PARIS" Ray Morgan

  • awww nice!! <3

  • This walks the finest of lines between awesome and hilarious

  • im sry but sometimes the effort ain't enough,i lol'd....

  • Great job. A fitting tribute to R.J.D.

  • well done amigos...

    Salute u from Argentina...

    

  • gostei da musica qual o nome ?

  • @Diego300886 Hear n' Aid - Stars. Quem escreveu foi o Dio

  • Most of the people who post negative comments aren't musicians and if they are, they're fail ones, so who gives a fuck what they think. :)

  • 5:11 doesnt have to necessarily be a good singer just a hot one

  • Nice work guys. Great tribute. I haven't heard of any of these bands but some nice talent there. For those of you with the negative posts, perhaps a lot of these singers don't sing in this style of rock. Who knows? Also, if you feel you can do better, feel free to put up a post.

  • @JCchamp316 well spoken mate

  • Sorry but this version is only a thin shadow of a orginal one from 1985. And these "stars" are only thin shadows of the Hear 'n' Aid orginal performers.

  • let's see american bands come together like this for one person, LOL, not gonna happen!!!!!

  • great job_:d hail from mexico

  • Thank you for your tribute - there's some amazing talent with all of you!

  • never be the old guy in the club , know when its over

  • Fantastic job, boys! I felt the rock flowing through my blood. You guys have talent.

  • Good job!

  • Cool tribute. 

  • Nothing close to the original, although the guitar,drums, and bass were excellent, vocals sounded like someone put a pillow over the mikes. Ronnie would still be very proud to know this happened. I sing his songs all the time, and I am sure I suck compared to him, and so do most other vocalist. Ronnie just had a voice that shatter ear drums, but it sounded so good while doing it. RIP RJD YOU WILL FOREVER BE MY RAINBOW IN THE DARK......

  • This is just wrong... I seriously thought it was a spoof at first! What an insult to the enormous talent that was / evermore shall be R.J.D. But hey - maybe it's just me. Opinions opinions.....

  • Negative comments may stem from... nobody knows who you are. The lure of the original is that we can see all of our favorites singing and performing. You guys have talent but it doesn't bring recognition or nostalgia. You're rough around the edges and we don't know you.

    Thanks for the effort though. :)

  • Well done guys. Sorry so many don't agree

  • showing my metal horns!

  • I know everyone in the original version.

    This one ...uh, not so much.

    Cool that they did this none the less~

  • I'm jealous! Wish I could be involved with a project like this. Dio was the best. You guys did great...

  • ahahaha

    

  • Job well done, guys.

  • I thought this was Kick Ass all over! Great job Manitoba dudes and ladies!

  • Great stuff guys!!!

    Don't worry about the Internet Commandos. It doesn't hurt to have a giggle though but I must say anyone with the Heart and BALLS to take on that song is awesome in my book of Metal. I really liked it too how you recreated the moves and you all seemed to have a heap of fun as well. Plus it rocked!!! Gonna have to check out your scene and bands. \FANG/ from Stuka Squadron.

  • `wow nowhere people shouldnt touch that soo beautiful song

  • R.O.F.L. - Love Ronnie James and appreciate the respect from the Great White North. Guitars not too bad, but the vocals were a little strugglling. Thanks, eh.

  • I've learnt by a friend of mine that the guy on this vid Travis Mitchell is well known in Germany. I have watched some of his "Mindstorm" videos from the 80's on youtube. It rocks. He's the best singer here. The guitar playing is great, some singers are ok, some are not.

  • Shit (2)

  • I liked the first singer.

  • I laughed at the first singer sorry.

  • BRAVO !!!!

  • SHIT

  • Anybody poking fun at these guys should be ashamed of themselves. Kudos to the Canadians for celebrating the work of Ronnie James Dio . . . although the clip for some reason reminded me of that film with Mickey Rourke about a wrestler. . .

  • You guys did a a great job and keep up the good work. I am sure RJD loved it:). The guitar playing was really great:).Alohaz.

  • GOOD TUNE, Feeling the love for DIO

  • I enjoyed it. I mean, it's different. I'd like to get all the originals back.

  • Vocals sucks but the guitars are cool =)

  • The dude in the begining looks like WWE wrestler Hacksaw Jim Duggan!

  • I am not a hard-core Dio fan, but a fan just the same. Don't know why anyone would dis-like this video. The only problem I had was the vocalists. The musicians were FANTASTIC!!!!!!!!!

  • is this one of those "shreds" videos?

  • brawwarara why wasnt i told of this lol, i live in manitoba and play music

  • So AWESOME! I love it! Thank for doing something, not only for RJD, but for this song! One of the best anthems ever!

  • Why do stupid shitheads have to always come along and put their shitty stamp on all that was once cool?

  • What a pile of shitty suck.

  • great job!

  • very good!

  • Thanks for sharing this...RJD fans are the BEST!!!!

  • i love Dio hanging out with God! 

  • At least they got the lyrics right.

  • i hate when people cover such great songs. but that being said, i think this was done for a great reason, and done pretty well. i can respect this. i love it.

  • Awesome, sure it`s not the same, but it's awesome. Only the oldies could have done something like that. Long Live Rock N' Roll, Long Live Metal: that Dio's presence and spirit can always be felt enough to inspire and make us realize the great man he were.

  • TO DIO.... WE ARE ALL STARS.... and trying to..CATCH THE RAINBOW !!

  • "We hope-to-be-one-day . . . Stars"!!!

  • I laughed so hard at some points...

  • Good on ya guys, a brilliant effort - be proud! LOVE IT!!!

    Understand the spirit in which this was obviously put together people, and stop being so goddamn negative - when you sing like Dio you may criticise... *pin drop*

  • this isn't as good as the originla but I like the idea of making a tribute to Dio ;) WE LOVE YOU DIO!!!

  • I feel bad for the effort that those guys did (you know why). It's not the same as the original but, I am grateful. Good job guys...

  • I like the idea, and it's a fitting tribute to Dio, but some of the singers were terribly out of tune. Dio would make a quadruple flip in his grave!

  • ANOTHR SUPER VOCALIST, CANADIAN SEBASTIAN BACH.

  • EDITING THE OUT OF TUNE VOCALS MAY HAVE HELPED.AFTER ALL DAVE MENNEKETTI, PAUL SHORTINO, ROB HALFORD AND GEOFF TATE ARE STILL ALIVE!!! THE GUITAR SOLOS SEEM OK.

  • Very good cover!!! Great job, a lot of great singers involved!!

  • why so many dislikes???would you guys want them to do a hip hop cover?Big fail!

  • Fuck the negative comments. Respect from the states to our Canadian brothers and their love and respect for the one and only Ronnie James. The best that ever lived and ever will live; the true definition of a metal singer. I am not violent and I hate war, but if Canada were ever threatened by any nation, we Americans would put our lives on the line to defend Canada's freedom and honor.

  • Fantastic and what a great tribute to the one and only Ronnie James Dio \m/

    I have also seen some more bands I would like to check out, everything about this is full of win, thank you for posting.

  • Ok DIO would be proud. the reason for the negative comments are because we americans like to make fun of canadians for some reason. you're like a little brother.

  • Just stumbled upon this - a great tribute to Ronnie. Thanks and keep on rocking Manitoba!

  • Wow, awesome effort, DIO would be proud

  • really funny

  • Dire

  • una vercion barata de la verdadera canción

  • @cristmtlrck  primero aprende a escribir colombiano huevon!

  • Ok...So This Is Manitoba's Scene? Ok. Fair Enough. It's A Decent Effort For Such A Great Legend. I Totally Respect Your Hearts For Doing This And There Were Some Flaws...But Dio Still Will Appreciate The Time And Effort You Took For This.Thank You For Trying And Paying Tribute To The Greatest!

  • 271 people should hang themselves....

  • Caralho! Isso ficou uma merda!

  • Guitarists explorer guy was good guy w the blue strat not bad, the rest yikes,sounded for the most part they they were just playing notes no fire no passion in their solo's!

  • its always awesome to see efforts such as this being put in to honor the heroes.its not about the ability.but the sincirety.cheers guys.horns up \m/

  • Stars?? You guys even dont stand close the real Star!

  • the first guy that sang sounded just like michael mcdonald i loved it xD

  • Way to go, a great tribute, you should all be proud. Keep your local music scene alive. Let the haters hate. It's all they have.

  • great cover and tribute thank you guys for this amazing song Ronnie will been happy if he haved listen this tribute "saluti" from sicily (italy)

  • Well I like this video for the simple fact as a musician and they did a good job on this cover.To pay tribute to a one of the most influenal metal singers of all time, My band wrote a song about Ronnie. SO to all the haters out there. Is that a bad thing to pay Tribute to a Metal Legend?

  • i vote for Ernie Gruhn from Labyrinth and Barry G.Player from B.G.P. Band.Nice job guys..

  • The blonde dude that looks like a crack head is really pretending to sing....sorry guys nice try....DIO will always be in our hearts....remove the blonde guy and you may have something

    

  • Comment removed

  • The best part was 6:59

  • Maybe this doesn't have Ronnie James Dio in it. Maybe there is no Geoff Tate, or Rob Halford, or George Lynch, or Adrian Smith. But god damn it's still a bloody good cover!

  • It was good until 0:01

  • Damn, you all have some high notes in there.

  • Guitars- ok

    drums - very ok

    basses - nice

    voices - not ok, but sometime are so good

  • In comparison with the original, yes, I agree that it is not as good as the original.

    But, I like this.

    Not only because of I like Canada and my Canadian friends but because of their souls and thoughtfulness that drove them to make this for the memories of Ronnie James Dio which is common in us who admire the art of Ronnie James Dio.

    They are representing our thoughts for him.

    Vive le Canada!

  • It's not as good as the original, but I like it, stop complaining and try to do best you assholes :S

  • can someone hook me up with the girl at 0:48....

  • Who are These People??

  • @SenseiMasterbatori good musicians, i think :)

  • @SenseiMasterbatori ahhahhahahahahahhahahahahhaaha­h, , 

  • That is tuff to watch, sorry guys. and c-crest out!

  • Buena intencion.... Pero que falta de respeto , Horrible¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡

  • I believe you all did a great job!!!! R.J.D. would be proud , and appreciate your love.

  • Were nobody's!!!!!!

  • You DID do a great job... Dio would be proud! Beautiful tribute!
