Vivian doing "Rainbow in the Dar" with Steel Panther

[Hellbat]

Russ also played bass and did vocals in "The Electric Fence", one of Paul Gilbert's many side projects...

I wish I could find that old video of Russ when he was in Atomic Punks showing how to make EVH striped toast. It's one of the funniest things I've ever seen.

I had an Electric Fence VHS. I prolly still have it somewhwere. I had most of the Stalicks instructionals..and Viv's was my least favorite. He couldn't play this song with Dio..but has no prob playing it with SP. Ahhhhh fuggums. I think "Satchel" would smoke him on his best day...I know alot of OTHER players most definitely would.

Yayyyyy.. Vivian Campell can still play the most popular song he ever fuggin' wrote...how wonderful! Seriously???? Seriously...??!!

EVH striped Peeps.

Billz even likes Phil Collen better than Viv campbell. I can tell. I know he still wants to put marshmellow peeps in his sustainer pickup, but he thinks he is better than viv.

Michael Starr played in a couple of lower listed LA bands. His main claim to fame was an appearance in the movie "RockStar". He was the guy in the singer's booth right before Marky Mark came in. He sang a very bad "Long Live Rock and Roll" version.

Yes...I have a limited life with a lot of worthless knowledge.

So do I! He was in character as Ralph Saenz, doing a David Lee Roth impression.

This will be a naive question but.... are the guys from Steel Panther old guys from the 80's?
If so, I think they should come out with a musicians exercise video because they are pulling off the long hair and spandex 80's look pretty darn good! That sounds a little gay I guess.

The only guy in the band with real long hair is Ralph. http://youtu.be/qaxAZpLUExY

I think the bass player is in love with his hair

It's part of the schtick. He always stands in front of a fan like Steve Vai, and quite often pulls out a mirror mid song to primp.

[Larz]

Ahhhhh, glad to hear its a joke.

I wonder what conditioner he uses though, his locks are fabulous.

[Hellraiser6502]

Yeah...they are pretty good musicians...if somewhat safe/sterile live.

After you see them ONCE their whole schtick becomes eye-rolling,
stick-yourself in the-dick-with-an-icepick BORING.

So predictable and very tedious.

[jgcable]

Its still cool to see old school old guys doing the 80's spandex hair metal thing and being able to pull it off.

Vivian said on his facebook wall that he enjoyed playing Rainbow with Steel Panther so much that he is getting together with his old Dio bandmates to jam to some old tunes.

Great, why don't Vivian Cambell exhume Dio's corpse and sodomize it.

.who's gonna sing Ozzy? Band Whore Ripper Ownens..the best bet would be Jorn Lande. Jorn actually was picked by Iommi and crew to finish the H&H (Dio Sabbath) tour. Because they're smart and shit..and like Peeps.

[Tekky]

Come on Bill, this isn't a big deal. He's just jamming some Dio stuff with probably Jimmy Bain, Vinny Appice, and Claude Schnell. It's not like he's grabbing the latest members of Dio's band and Tim "Ripper" Owens and touring. Oh wait... That would be the "Dio Disciples". ;-)

Did you read Tekky's post or click on the video? It's a wig. The only person in the band with actual long hair now is the singer.

I did watch the vid...but fast forwarded to the Rainbow in the Dark part. Didn't read closely enough I guess.
