Owens did a glorious job on this, it's just a shame he didn't get to do the intro part too. That's my favorite part and I'd bet he could have done a way better job at it than the first dude.
@MisterCrowley1972 His lyrics made perfect sense. Sure they were all dragons, witchcraft and wizardry related, but it's better than "Black and Yellow", "Red Solo Cup", "I Kissed a Girl" or any of the other top 40 crap on the radio today.
obviously some people dont know who the line up for the band, they were former bandmates of Dio...top 40 band, doubt so..those are legends on stage man..and by far the best line up for a cover band, except for the vocals maybe..never was a fan of ripper and the other guy, RJD's vocal range can never be matched..Long Live Rock n Roll \m/
Im hardcore Maiden fan, im a huge fan of Dio and of Judas Priest.. and one thing for sure. There is nothing like Bruce Dickinson, nor noone like Ronnie James Dio. Nor Rob Halford ( or when Rob had his voice 100 %. He lost it after painkiller, but still no one can match neither of them) BUT Tim "Ripper" Owens... damn he's good!! Today i've seen video's were he cover Maiden, Dio, Ozzy and from his time with Judas Priest ( i knew he was in JP. But i've never heard him do any of the others) but if there is a worthy replacement for ANY of these bands.. no doubt that would be Tim Owens! I'm not saying i want a replacement for anyone.. but he would would do a good job! For Maiden i would rather see them quit playing than a replacement for any of the members! And now when im thinking about it.. im glad Blaze Bayley stept in for Bruce, cuz if Tim had done it... well perhaps another future... I think Tim did good in JP.. he's doing Dio songs pretty good ( RIP Ronnie James Dio) My point is: none of these bands has a need for replacement... and i hope they never will... But give Tim Owens cred for his abillity.. he has earned that.. and no he cant match any of these vocal skills.. but he is the best guy to cover them.. Again RIP Ronnie James Dio!
Awesome, I keep coming back to listen to this. But I have to ask, how much is this lowered compared to the original? Like one step/one step and a half?
this band simply hits the nail on the head brilliant if i wasn,t watching the screen i could almost believe this was dio him self great job.
We all are disciples and I'm the last in line! My and that generation won't come back 😒 again 😒 🙄 😑 😪, only memories. God bless you 🙏 all.
Simply amazing...Ripper owens is incredible!
Craig Goldy nailed the solo. Lock up the wolves.
Ronnie James Dio is throwing up the horns in Heaven. Ripper, you are one of the few who can do justice to such a pioneer of metal.
OK, goosebump time! This is just superb. So sorry I missed Friday's Sauna.
Hell of a guitar player, so much talent throughout the world!

Ripper, Ohio baby!

James "JLo" LoMenzo!!
craig goldy solo
ending of the solo was poorly performed-its like hacking it up on purpose-no vivian so it wasn t performed well all the way through completely !
i think Ronny is very pleased about that......
wow holy shit i miss ripper
No Vivian ?
No they would mr the last in line band
Ripper rules so sexy meow man
Owens rocked it! Bad intro though!
Yeah they fucking skipped us last time!!
Of course, he's not DIO, so he had to take two tones down.....disappointing
