The story back then was that the metal and hard rock bands were left out of the USA for Africa "We are the world" song done by multiple bands/artist. So the metal bands got together and did their own song.
that's exactly what i thought!
And this song is WAAAAAY BETTER than "We are the world"!!! Heavy⚡Metal is the Law!!! 🤘🤘🤘🔝🔝🔝❤❤❤
Yes. Oddly Steve Perry was in USA FOR Africa and Neal Schon in Stars 😄
There were two videos like this one done one was we are the children with Michael Jackson Jackson n a bunch of others and do they know it's Christmas with George Michael's in it and a bunch of others they were all pop singers/r & b etc which is what inspired this one cause no hard rock/metal band members were invited to participate in the other videos
It’s wasn’t Metal Bands, it was Ronnie James Dio. He wanted to be part of USA for Africa, but he was a dirty metal guy. So in true Metal fashion he said “F’ You” and came up with this. This whole album is a “Who’s Who” of the time. EVERYONE who was even mediocrely (most were/are platinum artists) relevant was on this album.
Halford was hitting so high on the "were stars" part. You can clearly hear him over the others. Amazing. Halford and Dio all day any day.
And geoff tate is incredible as always too

@@ChicagoTRS On solos together of course
Drummers? Bassist?
"This Is Spinal Tap" is a movie Brad and Lex should watch 🤘
@@terryconnelly484 Buddy Rich and Flea … i just l edited this to say ..”just kidding” .. it’s actually the Collins bros ya know Phil and Bootsy.. haha ..
5:38 "WHO'S THIS?!"
Oh that's just the one and only George Lynch, one of the best guitarists ever ;) He's actually my favorite guitar player. Played in a glam/heavy metal band called Dokken, great fucking band with killer guitar solos in just about every song.
If you decide to react to them here's some tips along the way
Ballads:
"Alone Again"
"Walk Away"
Fast paced and/or kickass 80's glam/heavy metal:
"Tooth and Nail"
"Kiss of Death"
"Unchain the Night"
"Mr Scary"
"Into the Fire"
"Lightning strikes again"
"The Hunter"
As a bonus I'll throw in "When Heaven Comes Down", it's much darker and sinister than the rest of their songs but god damn is it beautiful and melancholic and the guitar solo is one of my favorites of all time.
Lynch was a solid Number 2, behind Yngwie in this. Brad Gillis was just awful, terrible performance....
Dokken is so badass. Standing in the shadows is my favorite song by them. Dons voice, Jeff’s bass and backup vocals, Wild Mick Browns awesome drum style, and of course, George’s awesome solos
@@pulsarlights2825 What about the killer rhythm guitar provided the Maiden duo of Adrian Smith and Dave Murray. Everyone (me included) geeks out over the different singers and solos, but Maiden (circa Somewhere in Time era) groove holds the whole song together.
@@robertmoore147 The Maiden guys were cool, just a short piece by them. Schon was pretty good too
I met George in Vegas, while on vacation; in an MGM suite I was invited too, after seeing Mickey Finn's (Jetboy) newer Rockabilly band at the House of Blues. There were dudes from bands that I had posters of on my walls, but they were mostly more underground. I played Breaking Tbe Chains, Lynch joined & soloed over me, and Mickey sang. I was put on the spot to play something, and because GEORGE FUCKING LYNCH was there; I jokingly started the song. George chuckled and said he "hates that fucking song", but everyone (which were mostly better musicians than I, and known in the 80's/early 90 's by hard rock/metal fans), were all calling for him to do it, and it was surreal for me. Closest I will ever get to being cool, lol.
Hear 'n Aid was a charity record recorded by a large ensemble of 40 heavy metal musicians and released in 1986. The project was organized by Ronnie James Dio, Jimmy Bain, and Vivian Campbell, all from the band Dio. Proceeds from the album were used to raise money for famine relief in Africa.[1]
The 40 musicians which had been gathered together by Dio recorded the single "Stars" together; the rest of the album was filled out with eight other tracks, several of which were contributed by artists who were on tour and unable to attend and participate in the mass recording session. A music video was released as well, produced during the recording sessions.
ruclips.net/video/2kXEtrIy3jU/видео.html this is a music video of swedish rockers of their version of a charity song...
It was Vivian Campbell's project...Dio produced it....
@@warinsidemyhead8939 i interviewed Dio twice for a metal magazin and one of the questions was about this project , Ronnie , Jimmy and Vivian made it happen .
Jimmy and Vivian wrote the music and without Dio there was no Hearn 'n Aid.
ruclips.net/video/zM89fYqvvWw/видео.html
@@warinsidemyhead8939 @f kops Great information, Thank You. I never knew this happened until today and will buy it on wax before today ends!
I legitimately thought I was the only person who remembered this (including perhaps some of the participants)! 😆
I even had the cassette back in the day. Heck, knowing my parents I probably still "have" it stuffed in the back of their storage bin or something.
Lex….Yngwie Malmsteen was one if the soloists that you oooo’d to. He’s worth a reaction tune or 3.
I submitted around 20 Yngwie songs to another reaction channel. Fish Out of Water reactions. Type that then Yngwie for a bunch of Yngwie reactions.
I did not recognize all of the guitarist, I did see Neal Schon from Journey.. ♠W.G.
@@wgdavis5353 I guess you can google which guitarist was on but just by the faces I also recognised Journey, Dokken, Malmsteen, Iron Maiden and the guy from Blue Murder - not sure which band he was at the time. Of course Vivian Campbell was there as well - its in the description.
trilogy suite would rock Lex's world
He was the best and Lynch shredded it too
Halford’s high notes just pierced everyone.
With all that vocal power in one room, you can still hear Halfords high end cutting right through the mix!
One of the greatest solo’s ever simply because of the number of individuals and their talent coming together and rocking out. One of my favorite songs!
Paul Shortino had a killer voice, it's a shame nobody really remembers him. He sang "We all wanna touch a rainbow.." He was in a band called Rough Cutt
He, also, was Duke Fame in "This is Spinal Tap". The ST guys are all nice to his face at the hotel, and trash him mercilessly as soon as he walks away! 😂
I’ve never heard of Rough Cutt; I’ll have to check them out
I was impressed with the power in his voice when I first heard Stars. I had to go out and buy Ruff Cutt's album.
He’s a beast.
Yngwie Malmsteen is the guy you said wooo when he played his 2nd solo part .
Lex, the singer with the sunglasses that you were curious about was Geoff Tate the lead vocalist of Queensryche. The guy with the soft hat was Paul Shortino of the band Rough Cutt as well as the second lead singer for Quiet Riot. The two blonde guitarists were Carlos Cavazzo of Quiet Riot and George Lynch of Dokken.

Very nice work Eric…respect…long live the 80’s..be well…
Our cover band played this song with a twist. We'd have audience members come up and sing their fave singers part. Believe it or not, they all knew where their guy came in. My favorite singer in this is Dave Meniketti from Y&T. Check em out, you'll love it.
Yeah do mean streak you won’t regret it
I agree
Oooh! Dave Meniketti doesn't get enough mentions. I also like Don't stop running and Summertime Girls.
Nothing and no one can peak Ronnie...sorry mate!
@@Hamchunk1968 and still touring at the age of almost 70.
The Guitar player Lex is asking who he is : George Lynck from Dokken and Lynch Mob
And said "WOO!" for Yngwie.
Yngwie stole the show, Lynch came in 2nd, and Brad Gillis sucked the most....
But she "ooed" over Yngwie not Lynch
My all time favorite guitar player. Totally unique tone.
So Lex oo'ed at Geoff Tate (vocals - Queensryche) Yngwie Malmsteen (guitars) and George Lynch (guitars - Dokken).
So far, I haven't seen anyone else react to this group/song. I got way excited to see it. I'm so glad you loved it.
I still have the VHS of this
Yeah I ask them and others to react to this song for about 2 weeks straight
Seeing the video, I realized how much Brad and Lex HAVEN’T reacted to yet…or at least that I don’t recall seeing: WASP, Dokken, more Quiet Riot, more Judas Priest, more Queensryche, Spinal Tap (lol)…
So much work for them to do!
They had to bring in a member of Spinal Tap because Dan Aykroyd was in the choir of Us for Africa.
Greetings from Germany. As a Metalhead, since 1985, i was happy that they took the chance to show that we are not such antisocial and evil bad people. Sadwise we still have that bad reputation..But it's getting better...Damned, i still miss Ronnie James Dio..R.I.P.

Brad is describing "vibrato."
Geoff Tate most distinct and most power full of them all by far
@@mikezentack3723 Geoff Tate has a very strong vibrato, very unique voice. Great singer.
This was the hair metal version of We Are The World, this was put together by Dio.
I lost my cassette of this song back in the day….regret it ever since! I’m glad brad n lex did a reaction to this classic jam!! 👍
Could get it on CD 20 years ago, may be still kicking around, I have the original cassette still, but it got very tired from use. That is why I chased a CD copy.
I have the making and this on VHS
There's a Japanese guy here on RUclips, Satsuma 2032 I think, who plays this song with all the guitar parts by himself. It's pretty amazing.
I remember this when it came out, I love that they got Spinal Tap in the crowd.
Can’t begin to explain how proud I am that you know RJD’s voice and are fans. Ronnie was such a remarkable person with pipes of gold and a heart to match.
Brad coming in with the sharp ears here! Love that you picked up from the sound that each phrase of that long guitar solo was being played by a different guitarist. Seems like you've been listening to a lot more than just the lyrics all this time! Very cool reaction, you two!
OMG Who ever recommended Hear'n'Aid to Brad&Lex, you are a legend! Amazing to see this song getting any attention
I did it took me 2 weeks of bugging them to get them to react to the song
@@diablo4166 'preciate you! lol
finally, thank you 🤘
and you asked who is that? that was Geoff Tate from Queensrÿche
I was a teenager metalhead in communist Poland. 2 national and 1 regional TV stations. But on station 2 there was a 20 minute show every day where they played western pop videos. Everybody knew "USA for Africa". But one day I saw "Stars". All my heroes plus tons of others I didn't know at one place! I kept watching that show every day in hope that this clip would be played again, and one day I was lucky, but that was probably the last time they played that clip. Anyway, I came here for the song, but was equally amazed by 2 beautiful human beings reacting 🙂 Stay cool!
Never have more of my heroes been in the same room together. Magic.
I got this on vinyl when it came out - the group song was amazing, and the rest of the album was filled out with a great sampler of other live metal hits donated by bands who couldn't attend, plus a Hendrix studio song donated by his estate.
I am so glad you guys reacted to this. I always smile while watching this one.
So glad you finally did this... Yngwie is a Guitar God.. and tbe singer you also liked was Geoff Tate from Queensryche. Y'all need to look at the entire video of this, it's about an hour long..

I swear I saw Carmine Appice there.
I think it is time Lex heard some Yngwie Malmsteen...I think that was the goosebumps/different sounding guitar. He has a very different sound...kind of classical music metal.
"Malmsteen & Dio - Dream on" for example..
So many Legends in this video and some are gone but what a great collaboration
This song came out when I was stationed in Korea. 3 years later I deployed with 10th Mountain to Mogadishu, Somalia on a Humanitarian Mission. Like I said in an earlier comment, you'll know when Yngwie's note drops, you'll know George, Carlos, Vivian, Neal, Brad, Eddie, Craig, Buck, Dave, & Adrian as well.
May I suggest that you take a look at Y&T Don't Stop Runnin'
Thank You
The 80est 80's moment in the history of 80's moments
I was a long haired Metal Head teen back in the 1980's. All of the Artists in this song are the true Metal scene musicians we worshipped as stoner parking lot kids, respectable adults now, but I still listen to all these artists now.
Brad, you're looking for "vibrato" which is oscillation between two pitches and is a natural occurrence but can be controlled. Singers like Rob Halford, Ronnie James Dio, and Bruce Dickinson are good examples of metal singers who have very operatic sounds, but are fully capable of adding distortion without damaging the throat or vocal cords.
Geoff Tate killed this...
Well just seen David St. Hubbins from Spinal Tap, Must do Spinal Tap guys classic rock, and Mockumentary not to be missed 'This is Spinal Tap'
Magical time in metal history. The first time I heard this was on a late night radio show called Metal Shop. Anybody remember it?
Yes. I would put on my head phones so the parents wouldn't hear. It was on Sunday night late. Good times.
Hope this helps:

Thank you! 🙏 I've been waiting to people start react to this one 😎🤘
Lex, Yngwie Malmsteen was the guitarist that caught your ear. The guy is an insane talent on the guitar, you have to listen to some of his work. He would be a household name if he had ever been in a big time band.
He's a household name if you live in a house that actually knows about guitar players. If you only like huge superstars like Pink Floyd and Queen then you're probably clueless to Yngwie and Vai and Paul Gilbert and so on and so on.
@@stephs.8134 I agree, but sadly probably 90% of people on here don't know him.
@@richard_n 90% of the public in 2021 don't know any of these guys, except maybe Ted Nugent
He would be a household name if he could write songs as well as he played - or at least played in a band with other people who could. Unlucky for him, he's a bad songwriter and too conceited to let anyone else write for him. As a consequence, nobody who's not a guitarist actually listens to him.
This is what a song sounds like when the singers can SING. No autotune.
WOOHOO!! FINALLY SOME ONE DID THIS ONE!! AND I'M GLAD IT WAS YOU TWO LEX IS BECOMING A METAL HEAD!!
Lex is already one lol
Yeah it took me 2 weeks of bugging them everyday to get them to react to this song

You can see Dave Murray and Adrian Smith from Iron Maiden at the end of the solo. They played the harmony parts
in the chorus but no solo. People from Skid Row weren't involved. They were not on anybody's radar at the time.
I think you guys are great ! This was the best reaction from you guys yet ! Keep on rockin on !
Nice first time anyone I follow has reacted to this historic recording….I was born in 1970 it was great being a teen in the 80’s
It took me 2 weeks of bugging them everyday to get them to react to this song
I remember when this came out just look at all the talent there is in this song so many famous rock stars
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
If I recall correctly, Ronnie Dio was instrumental in putting this project together. He was apparently a wonderful human being in every way.
Geoff Tate lead singer of Queensryche, the one with the white jump suit and funky hair, really stands out with his performance.
Theses are my people!!! lol 😝 I love it!!!!!!! It haves me goosebumps even now to watch this video!!! They also have the making of this witch is awesome!!!! That’s how you get to know who’s singer and playing guitar 🎸!!!!
Lex absolutely has a musical soul. She really picks up on the emotion in the sound-- it's such a rare gift, and it's so cool to see it in someone else! You'd probably really dig some Joe Satriani instrumentals, and some of his contemporaries.
Yay for playing this! Always loved it and the behind the scenes is awesome,I still remember seeing it when it first came out..And Geoff Tate of Queensryche is a fave of mine,He was the singer in the white at 1:53 in the song...so many greats in this one!Keep On Rockin'
Rob Halford ruled all in the we're stars chorus is voice just hits another level
I bought that record back in 1990... I found it in a discount bin in downtown São Paulo, Brazil. Those were the days of ultra fast picking and stuff... Guilty pleasure all the way
No need to feel guilty fella
Y'all have to watch the MAKING OF STARS for this song. AWESOME!!!
In this episode of Brad & Lex, The classic 80,s rock sound doesn't waste too much time to become contagious, bite Brad and infect him enough to quickly proceed with his signature "side to side sway". Lex is his co pilot on the same plane but seems to fly a little higher as she develops goosebumps and soars into a "Rocky Balboa rock bop".
Brad & Lex!
Proud to have you as part of my reaction channels!
Great reaction! Thanks for sharing.
The one that gave you goosebumps was yngwie malmsteen. Hands down absolute guitar maestro. Precision and speed
YES!!!!
Dio was a great guy and he really cared to do this!!!!!
The legends🤘 Heavy Metal thought they'd contribute with feeding the hungry in Africa at the time. I still can't believe Eddie Van Halen didn't join them.
Omggggg. Thank you for this. Still have my vinyl and 12 inch single of this. DIOOOO
I love Lexs genuine enthusiasm for ronnie James Dios voice.... she knows good music 4 sure.
Thanks for finally reacting to this
song that I requested
They finally got to hear some Yngwie Malmsteen.
Well, they haven't really missed out. That guy is all style and no substance. As is, all technique and no songs. The guy just can't write a decent song to save his life.
@@erikthompson619 really!? What about, in random order:
- "Alone in Paeadise";
- "Crying";
- "Save our Love";
- "Hold on";
- "Fire";
- "Chrystal Ball";
- "Amberdawn" (or "Dawn");
- "The Only One";
- "Marching Out";
- "Heaven Tonight";
- "Evil Eye", just to name some.
Only idiots can write stupid comments...
@@simonedangelosericola5742 lol you must be an yngwie fan lol
@@erikthompson619 Rising Force & Heaven Tonight are a couple that I like.
What an original idea. No one had ever seen a large amount of music stars gathered together for an arbitrary cause before this, except for seven or eight times.
Classic! Seamless transitions, from a most remarkable group of musicians. Now this has really opened up, a massive, endless, rabbit hole, enjoy!
One of my favorite songs and I’m a genZrs. Oh man I missed the best rock times. Props for you two discovering quality music 🙌🏻🙌🏻
Hit the nail on the head with performers vs artists!
So much talent in one studio. I would have loved to be in there.
You guys nailed it!
The best of the best in Hardrock music!
Joe from Germany
The auditions are the best part of this...the best of the best came out for this complete jem.
Hey Lex, the guitarist you liked was Yngwie Malmsteen, if you want to check him out, I suggest watching his live video of Far beyond the Sun with the Japanese orchestra. You will be amazed.
Dio, organized and produced this entire thing, he also wrote it! The reason there was so much power was Dio, pushed them! Plus most of them were great musicians! Dio, my favorite singer, lyricist of all time! And Fiona Flanagan, my favorite female singer!
hear 'n aid is the hard rock and metal answer to USA for africa and Band Aid.
So many metal/rock icons,singers and guitar shredders,such a great video from our childhood.🤘🎸🙏
Brad, you're correct in your thinking, and they were down to earth for the most part!
So happy you listened to this
Still have the VHS...love this song. That vocal sound from the great singers is called vibrato. The blend of all their voices is harmony.
Great shirt brad!

The guitar soloing is just insane on this song
Also cringe.
@@rabarebra You are cringe.
I'm glad they included David St Hubbins ,a heavy metal legendary singer.
Right, I'm still not sure this wasn't a Spinal Tap kind of parody...and I was around back when this came out, never heard it until now.
I have never seen this before and i love it!!!

Man y’all are the first reactors to do this song !
Yeah cuz I bugged them for 2 weeks to react to this song
You def need to do a Yngwie Malmstein song..
No, they don't. He doesn't have any good songs. It's just solos, solos, solos. A guitarist who plays for other guitarists.
@@erikthompson619 As above, so below and Rising Force are pretty good imo.
I agree with Brad, it is awesome and makes you wonder what is was like with all this metal greatness in one place. I was a young girl at the time and loved metal, so I thought it was one of the coolest things ever!
If you look on RUclips there's a 26 minute version showing all the backstage performances and what it took to record this song. So can get to know the people.

Talk about a SUPER GROUP.
So glad to see Dave Meniketti of Y&T get some love. That group should have been bigger that it was. Too bad they didn't get Tony Harnell of TNT.
This it's still a great song❤
You just watched metals biggest supergroup of all time. Something that will never be replicated or beaten. All are from my youth and my idols to this day. Lex, your an amazing woman. Brad, your extremely lucky. Treat her like gold.... Ps. Watch the making of the song. Dio explains it all. Brings a tear to your eyes.
In my opinion, if ONLY the following artists were involved: Scorpions, Accept, Triumph, Saxon, Def Leppard, Loudness, and maybe Bon Jovi.
FINALLY!!!!! 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
Only 1 K Views??? Some of the Greaest Hard Rock - Metal Gods together for charity - Blows We are the world out of the water
Lex, the guitarist that you asked, “who is this?” is George Lynch of Dokken (at the time of the video). George Lynch went on to form Lynch Mob, then various solo and collaboration projects. If you’re interested in checking out Dokken, here’s a few songs: It’s Not Love, Into the Fire, In My Dreams, Dream Warriors, Heaven Sent.
