At the risk of saying something incredibly blasphemous and risk getting absolutely torched on this fantastic website….I’m totally digging this more than the original. Nice cameo Eddie.
You know what, 30 years later why not? Those musicians are all great and the singers are paying tribute to the best ever so I’ll agree with you. We can both atone tomorrow. The only thing Eddie is missing here is John Sykes. Portnoy is in every band right now because he is a great drummer. He reminds me of Artemis Pyle. Also Eddie can sing HAPPY BIRTHDAY on his radio show again. That ruling was reversed according to BREAKING NEWS. That video with the split screen looks like USA FOR AFRICA DO THEY KNOW IT’S CHRISTMAS? Remember that? or maybe WE ARE THE WORLD. One of them….
Consider yourself torched.
Holy Cow an Artemis Pyle reference!? That was impressive even for you Richman.
Nicely done! A fitting tribute to one of the greatest singers and icons of all time. Ronnie would be pleased. All the cameos were great. The video shows just a small glimpse of how much of an impact Ronnie has had on his fellow musicians and fans alike.
Eddie, you should have sang a solo verse in song!
Nobody needs to hear that..haha
