Ronnie James Dio逝世已經一周年,趁著今天有空寫一下他曾發起的一個活動Hear 'n Aid 1983～1985年非洲發生二十世紀最嚴重的飢荒，在1984年耶誕前夕，英國由 Ultravox 樂團的Midge Ure及Boomtown Rats樂團的Bob Geldof 合作寫了一首"Do They Know It's Christmas"，並由當時英國最當紅的樂手組成了Band Aid 灌錄單曲，收益作為對衣索 匹亞貧民的食物與藥物供應。之後美國樂壇也不落人後，由Michael Jackson和 Lionel Richie合寫"We Are the World"，並在1985年號召美國眾多當紅歌星在洛杉磯的錄音室 ，灌錄We are the world這首單曲，單曲發行後短短數週便銷售百萬張，受到這股風氣 影響，金屬樂團Dio的主唱Ronnie James Dio受到上面兩個義唱活動的啟發，便決定集 合重金屬樂界辦一個類似的義唱活動，於是1985年5月20、21日，邀集40位重金屬樂界 的巨星聚集在Hollywood的A&M Records Studio，錄製了一首"Stars" (也可稱 We're Stars)的單曲，而之後更集結多個樂團Live歌曲發行Star專輯。 Star 影片 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qZktrrqT1A0 看到25年前的影片，歲月流逝確實對人產生很明顯的變化，很多當年的勁帥模樣樂手 ，如今幾乎都成了大叔，就如Rob Halford當年頂上還有頭髮，Yngwie還沒變肥，而 Ronnie James Dio已經蒙主寵召。看到多位重量級樂手的合作，你是否勾引起往事的 回憶呢。 參與歌手 Vocals Eric Bloom (Blue Oyster Cult) Ronnie James Dio (Dio) Don Dokken (Dokken) Kevin DuBrow (Quiet Riot) Rob Halford (Judas Priest) Dave Meniketti (Y&T) Paul Shortino (Rough Cutt) Geoff Tate (Queensryche) Backing Vocals Tommy Aldridge (Ozzy Osbourne) Carmine Appice (Vanilla Fudge/King Kobra) Vinny Appice (Dio) Jimmy Bain (Dio) Claude Schnell (Dio) Vivian Campbell (Dio) Mick Brown (Dokken) George Lynch (Dokken) Jeff Pilson (Dokken) Frankie Banali (Quiet Riot) Carlos Cavazo (Quiet Riot) Rudy Sarzo (Quiet Riot) Dave Alford (Rough Cutt) Amir Derakh (Rough Cutt) Chris Hager (Rough Cutt) Matt Thorr (Rough Cutt) Buck Dharma (Blue Oyster Cult) Brad Gillis (Night Ranger) Craig Goldy (Giuffria) Chris Holmes (W.A.S.P.)
