Metallica's DIO medley "Ronnie Rising"

[Progatron]

Wow! Sounds great... these guys have always done terrific, high-energy covers. This one is taken from the recent Dio tribute album This Is Your Life.

This is getting airplay here in Vegas. I'd probably say it was better than anything on the other Dio tribute album I have, which isn't a very good album. Old Raiinbow tunes getting played on the radio isn't a bad thing in my book. Doesn't happen often.

[Jerjo]

Not bad. James is no RJD but really who the hell can mimic that voice.

Not bad at all. I'm just wondering when Metallica will release a new album. Man, Death Magnetic was six years ago? That thing they did with Lou Reed doesn't really count as a new Metallica album (imo). I heard it was pretty awful. Last thing I bought by Metallica was the EP Beyond Magnetic, which I think is just killer.

[TheLoony]

I don't know about where youse guys live, but here this is getting massive airplay. I hear it(and the Red Hot Chili Peppers, for some reason) almost every time I turn the rock station on. The RHCP thig is just wierd timing, I'm sure, but the Dio medly gets played many times a day and is still getting played heavily.

I'm enjoying the hell out of it.

[RickRichson]

This is just perfect, the best metal medley ever! Though James just doesn't have the vocal range to pull it off. Btw, it's easy to play online with free spins where the odds are the best.

says it all about METALLiCA’s current clout within the more discerning rock audience ;-)> “hardwired to self-destruct”, out since november. meh at best.

but this is the best i've heard from the band for (now) decades. which also says a lot. their hearts are probably still in the right place.

[Zappathustra]

I obviously have to add IMHO here, but in a fair state they should have arrested them for this. It's beyond ridiculous, beyond atrocious.

I've heard Hardwired described as "dad rock." .....

I like the new album, but I still think Death Magnetic and Beyond Magnetic (EP) are better. Metallica are now The Beatles of heavy metal in terms of mainstream popularity.
