Stepping Stone covers DIO ( ft. The Gnasty Symphony Orchestra)

[launched]

I don't think people really can appreciate how hard is to nail the vocals on this one without trying it themself.

I was thinking the same thing - Mindblowing job, Gnasty!

Glad this tune was made. Holy Diver is high on my list of album faves. I went to a Black Sabbath Heaven & Hell show and loved watching Ronnie James Dio perform. Although Megadeth stole the show musically and was the reason I went, I was extremely impressed watching a 66 year old man own the audience! He was the real deal!!

Dio forever... this was a lot of fun to do... Tough as hell... but we made it through. Eric is a superfreakin star (Melted my face off with that solo)... I was gun shy at first when he said he wanted to try this one. Glad I didn't back down... this made me a better player... engineer... all of the above. Mark is always there in the pocket to add some funkalicious groove. I love these guys... I love Songcrafters... My birthday is around the corner... couldn't think of a better present to celebrate with. This turned out awesome guys. Cheers!!!!

This is so rocktasticallyawesmastical. It's absolutely amazing in every way, shape and form. The performances by all are mind numbingly stellar and the production is so crystal clear, professional by every angle. Stepping Stone is a super group led by the ultimate rock star!
Rock Hard...Rock On!

Awesome! I'm not familiar with any of Dio's stuff except on Ritchie Blackmore's Rainbow. But this is first-class metal. Well done.

My son just popped his head round the door to say "Don't Talk to Strangers - great Dio song."  It is, son.  And this is a great version.  Absolutely fabulous.  The performance is inspired - but the production is in a league of its own.
