Some great people working on this album. If I could add some singers to this line up
in no particular order.

Brian Johnson
Ozzy (if that wouldn't be weird)
Bruce Dickinson
Ian Giilan ( if that wouldn't be weird)

And of course a certain guitarist who's name is the opposite of "Whiteless" to add some added authenticity to those Rainbow tunes.

Yep,'ol Ritchie needs to leave the wife at home (or at the 'Renaisance Festival' ) and lift a few pints and revisit some of that era of his playing again (Dio era Rainbow ).

I wish Ray Gillan was still around (rip). He was probably, imo, the last GREAT lead vocalist to emerge. I think Jeff Scot Soto could still pull off a convincing Dio vocal.

Jimi was talking about the singer from Symphony X as being able to do Dio justice

[Tone Slinger]

I got a buddy who's been telling me about Symphony X. I'll have to check them out

interview

Wow

[chrisom]

My first concert- Dio singing for Black Sabbath on the "Heaven and Hell" tour. Loved the Dio "Last In Line" album. Also saw him on the "Sacred Heart" tour with the big dragon onstage. One of the rare ones who sounded the same live as he did on his recordings...

There is nothing as mighty as Rainbow Rising & On Stage ! NOTHING !
Maybe this... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bv8F8reGa80" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Sounded like 'ol Ronnie was tryin to move in on David Cassidy's fan base on that one


The Adrenaline Mob 'Stand Up And Shout', wow ,really GOOD !

The Singer was right there and the guitar solo was like a modern totally evolved Gary Moore, John Norum, Vivian Campbell, John Sykes style 'Rip your head off' kinda thing

[mightymike]

As cool as the Adrenaline Mob clip is scary close, it would be cool to hear some different interpretations as well from well known Rock Icons.

As cool as Heaven and Hell was. To me it stands shoulder to sboulder with their previous work, but I bet OZZY could have belted out a down right evil Crowleyesk version of Children Of the Sea or Heaven and Hell.

Yeah I know it's a pipe dream.

[Ferrari-Dude]

Check out Jorn (from Norway). He covers Kill the King and gives it a serious kick in the ass.

[fhn_lopes]

Dream Theater did a nice version of Stargazer IMO... Vocals weren't the strong part of course, but the isntrumental part is awesome. In the studio though, I think La Brie can do a nice work.

Russell Allen is amazing , check him out in Symphony X . Dio is one of my favorites , and proud to say Symphony X are my friends . Thomas Miller is perhaps the worlds best bass player and he writes amazing lyrics as well as songs!
