Haha, the guys at the LORD (ex-Dungeon) forum were creamnig themselves over that earlier in the year. It was a huge thread, now lost somewhere in the past. I'm sure if you brought it up there you'd get a huge response again.

Yeah, a time when people could play incredibly without relying on Pro Tools, a time when singers could actually sing and with incredible voices... So lame... 
Incredible amount of stars on this clip... wow...

Not to whore it too much, but have you heard the last Dungeon album, The Final Chapter. Definatelly one of the best releases of the band, and of this year. I'm really looking forward to what he comes up with in LORD.
Whore it mate ! Timah is a great vocalist ......
I used to be right into Dungeon (Stevo a close mate of mine)
Vaticide is worth checking out, best double kick in Oz !

Just a couple of things from someone who grew up listeing to that stuff...
1. I thought it was great that Christopher Guest of Spinal Tap fame was in there singing since the Spinal Tap movie was a parody of all of those dudes lives.
2. For the sick amount of talent in that room, the guitar solo sucked. I mean you got, Yngwie, Brad Gillis, Nugent, Neal Schon, Carlos Cavazos (reaching) but still. That was the best they could do? I don;t know who played it but...uke:
3. Any song that has the lyrics "We are are magic in the night, we are shadow we are light." "We all want to touch a rainbow." is worth listening to.
4. Who knew Yngwie could sing?
5. Dio is still cool (have you seen "The Pick of Destiny?") and has one of the best rock voices ever.

Thats just how it is...
That's what you REALLY miss about the 80's.
And honestly, that Hear N Aid thing was shit.
If you wanna talk 80's... it begins and ends with Anthrax.
bit of deja vu from a couple of weeks ago. I had "we're stars" pop into my head and found it on You Tube myself to show the girlfriend just exactly what I was into in the 80's. I scared the living hell out of myself by still knowing all the lyrics. Paul Shortino is badass
Great song! I'm glad I have this on vinyl... and pretty much everything else Dio made in the 80's!

The backing vocalists included Michael McKean (David St. Hubbins) and Harry Shearer (Derek Smalls), but, sadly, not Christopher Guest (Nigel Tufnel).

That was the single version, with a few bars each of Brad Gillis, Craig Goldy and Donald Roeser. The album version (video below) has longer solos arranged in trade-off groups:
Goldy / Ojeda
Campbell / Gillis
Schon / Lynch
Malmsteen / Campbell
Lynch / Cavazo
Gillis / Goldy / Roeser
Dave Murray & Adrian Smith are credited with "guitar melody lines on choruses", but are hard to pick out of the mix.

Yeah, but it would have been better if they gave those lines to Halford.
Anyone know who the producer (I assume he is) dude is with the short dark hair? I was able to recognise virtually everyone in the video other than him.
He's standing behind the desk strumming chords at one stage.

Could well be. I wouldn't have been a BOC fan back then (they weren't hair metal or thrash/speed) and have no clue what they look like.
I thought it might have been Tonio K who kinda looked like that and was a producer/songwriter back then. He was more in the vein of 80's cheezy pop though.
