Vivian Campbell plays in a pussy ass lame band. At 60+ years old, Dio still rocks it with the father of heavy metal. I think that's about all there is to say really.

Actually, he was a Les Paul guy before he joined Dio. He recorded the Holy Diver album with a LP and used one on the first tour.Originally posted by missionguitars1 View Post
That's it in a nutshell. He basically demanded a pay raise and was turned down and given his walking papers.Originally posted by shreddermon View PostComment

My only issue with Dio's comments:
"He's a piece of shit. You ever heard the things he ever said about me? He called me the most despicable human being that ever lived. I went, 'I thought I gave you a chance and made you somebody. And now you're playing with who? DEF fucking who?' There's a fucking rock band for you to fucking have diarrhea with.""
This was the first I heard about the Dio Viv thing, but I think Dio was a bit in the wrong to bring Def Leppard into it as I have seen interviews with the other guys and they have said nothing but glowing things about Dio and having a great time with Dio fans that come to the shows. Of cours it's been years since I have really followed DL so who knows whats been said. But if he's got a bone to pick with Viv he has ever right to tear him a new anus.
I don't think I have ever heard or read an interview with Dio where he's ever had anything less the tactful (if not complete kind) things to say about anyone, so to see this I think it's go further then just feeling disrespected, I think Viv actually hurt the guys feelings.In the future though I need to remember to not buy guitars while on NyquilComment

Vivian has slagged everybody he has EVER played with, even Def Leppard who he's with now. He bitches that they don't pay him enough. He disses metal and the fans who revere him for his work with Dio. He likes to fuck 13 and 14 year old girls when he can get away with it.
So I'm with Dio on this one, after years of restraint and in a casual setting he said what he really thinks one time. Viv has been talking shit that maligned not only his benefactor but his fans for all these years.
And after what, 15 years in Def Leppard, he still can't or won't play the Steve Clark parts correctly? WTF? I could see that if he came up with something better but that certainly hasn't been the case.Ron is the MAN!!!!Comment

It's quite possible that Dio didn't realize he was being filmed/recorded. Doesn't really excuse his comments regarding Def Lep, I agree, but I honestly doubt he ever imagined those comments would be all over YouTube!!Originally posted by eakinj View PostComment

ahhh!.... Viv prolly wanted some of the midget's meat and never got it.
Sounds like a cat fight.

basically, as far as I can tell, Dio is a badass, and Vivian is a guy who played a nice little tune for 3 years, thought he was the shit and hates everyone because "he is too good for that." Fuck Viv, as a hardcore, fan of Dio, Whitesnake, and a fan (not a hardcore fan of) Leppard, this ass-hat shouldnt be in a fuckin' bandOut Of IdeasComment

I'm sure it was more of a 'in the heat of the moment' kind of thing, i was just a little surprised by it. Not that he may dislike def leppard, just that he included them in a rant about viv. It just seem a bit out of character (at least of what I have seen of him) I'm gonna check out the video now that I'm home, all I have seen was the text on blabbermouth.Originally posted by LastInLine View PostIn the future though I need to remember to not buy guitars while on NyquilComment

I always though Viv was a jerk and a crappy guitar player. And after everything that has transpired over the years Dio has every right to slam him.
I think the Def Leppard comment was more "spure of the moment" then a true slam on the band. You can tell Dio was all worked up by that point.Turn that Sh......... down!Comment

Ha ha, I love how everyone's kissing Ronnie's ass though:
Something like ....."Viv really is a doosh Ronnie, can you sign all these for me".
As if they wouldn't be chasing after Viv's autograph if they saw him in a Denny's.
Let's remember the man in his prime, rockin' the Charvel:

Dio is always such a gentleman and so tactful and polite in speaking about others
..... Whatever's taken him over the top like that must have been really nasty 
........Don't know much about Viv's successes other than the two albums with Dio, so that must sum up my view of this whole thing

That is a hell of a thing to say, got any proof? If it is true, I apologize. I have heard of the battle between the two of them for years. But, hey... with Doug, they sound 10x better =) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gBIT3a1gs9IOriginally posted by lerxstcat View Post

From everything what I've ever heard about Dio he's really great, polite and treats his fans with respect.
I'd love to meet the guy someday.

Where did you come up with that?
