Hear N' Aid - Stars [The Lead Vocals] (LD MASTER) [BEST QUALITY] (1986)

Hear 'n Aid was a one-off project of the heavy metal/hard rock scene of the 1980s to raise money for famine relief in Africa. According to Ronnie James Dio's MySpace profile, the project raised $1 million within a year.

The song was recorded on May 20 and 21 1985 at the A&M Records Studio in Hollywood, California. The project included contributions from Ted Nugent, Yngwie Malmsteen, Tommy Aldridge and members of Dio, Judas Priest, Iron Maiden, Quiet Riot, Dokken, Mötley Crüe, Twisted Sister, Queensrÿche, Blue Öyster Cult, Vanilla Fudge, Y&T, Rough Cutt, Giuffria, Journey, W.A.S.P. and Night Ranger as well as the parody band Spinal Tap. Lead vocals were shared between Ronnie James Dio, Rob Halford, Kevin DuBrow, Eric Bloom, Geoff Tate, Dave Meniketti, Don Dokken and Paul Shortino. Vivian Campbell, Carlos Cavazo, Buck Dharma, Brad Gillis, Craig Goldy, George Lynch, Yngwie Malmsteen, Eddie Ojeda and Neal Schon all added guitar solos. Iron Maiden's Dave Murray and Adrian Smith were in the middle of their 'World Slavery Tour' at the time and flew in to attend the main session. A documentary was shot of the recording process and released simultaneously.

Halford!

Halford kills these vocals. Ain't the metal god for nothing.

[KoRnOtEp666]

Would love to party with all of those guys...just sayin haha. Halford is my biggest vocal influence next to Dio, Dickenson, and Angela Gossow (for those of you that don't like melodeath, too bad) surprised Sebastian Bach wasn't in there, easily in my top 5 vocalists list \m/

@DoYouWorry You not see his reaction to Geoff? As if to say "well, you just almost showed me up there". Ronnie was always a big fan of Geoff's and rightfully so.

[SickBastardInc]

Geoff Tate is a beast !!! Amazing.

[jessemetfan]

4:00 "I got pipies I haven't located yet" Hahaha Gotta love Spinal Tap.

@tuina1 When this happened, Bruce was barely in Iron Maiden. Those guys were already legends.

[ClassofEighty2]

The Pavarotti of Metal....Rob Halford !! BTW a lot of these guys (that are still alive) could probably use a fundraiser for themselves!!!
