  • Hear 'n Aid was a one-off project of the heavy metal/hard rock scene of the 1980s to raise money for famine relief in Africa. According to Ronnie James Dio's MySpace profile, the project raised $1 million within a year.
    The song was recorded on May 20 and 21 1985 at the A&M Records Studio in Hollywood, California. The project included contributions from Ted Nugent, Yngwie Malmsteen, Tommy Aldridge and members of Dio, Judas Priest, Iron Maiden, Quiet Riot, Dokken, Mötley Crüe, Twisted Sister, Queensrÿche, Blue Öyster Cult, Vanilla Fudge, Y&T, Rough Cutt, Giuffria, Journey, W.A.S.P. and Night Ranger as well as the parody band Spinal Tap. Lead vocals were shared between Ronnie James Dio, Rob Halford, Kevin DuBrow, Eric Bloom, Geoff Tate, Dave Meniketti, Don Dokken and Paul Shortino. Vivian Campbell, Carlos Cavazo, Buck Dharma, Brad Gillis, Craig Goldy, George Lynch, Yngwie Malmsteen, Eddie Ojeda and Neal Schon all added guitar solos. Iron Maiden's Dave Murray and Adrian Smith were in the middle of their 'World Slavery Tour' at the time and flew in to attend the main session. A documentary was shot of the recording process and released simultaneously.

      I'd say 1975-85 was the best 10 year period of music. What made the 80s so awesome was the encyclopedia of music we had already. After 1992 it all changed. What became mainstream just flat out sucked! With the exception of course of a few bands. But the overall wave and context of music in which these few bands were played was so dumbed down and lacked actual talent. And now you don't even have to have instruments or be able to legitimately sing.

      You don't understand because you were born after like 2002. The music then and the singers who sung it wrote and made their own songs, they were not hired by someone, they did all their own work and there was a comradery amongst bands, bandmembers, and it was fun. Today music is just money money money, production production production, don't communicate or lawyers will sue, pay a writer $90,000 to slap something up on the computer and then ruin it on a mixer so it will sell on the charts. Music today is dogshit compared to back then.

    fun story : I'm currently 59 yrs. old, when this song came out (I was mid 30's), I was so blown away, as was my wife (no headbanger) that we pretty much wore out the VHS. I showed this vid to so many rockers who usually said "holy crap, what is this"? we watched it probably over 500 times and eventually the vid just wore out. Easily the best head-bang of the 80's (and while I'm a snob and don't especially care for Yngwie he does fuckin' rock)

This song is epic, and despite not being a massive Dio fan myself his idea to do this project was fucking really ballsy. He did a "Live Aid" equivelent for just hard rock and heavy metal!! That's amazing!! That' one area of music!! Live Aid crossed genres so it was easier (not easy ) to raise cash tapping into many music fans wallets. This money Dio earned for those people was by the Heavy Metal community!!! Genius!! And fucking awesome song. Salute Dio for this.

    Every morning I get up and I listen to this song, to me it's the greatest song that has ever been written, and it symbolizes a time when life and living actually made sense, growing up as the granddaughter to the 17 time Oklahoma fiddling champion and the daughter of guitarist Dale "Renegade" Watson, I was constantly bombarded with various types of music, within this song alone there are so many legends which grace this master piece, this was a time when music actually stood for something, when muscisians, talent, songwriters as well as anyone in the business took their sweet time and put forth alot of efforts into each and every performance, album, interview, and music videos! The kids and generations of today, do not know the meaning behind the struggle of what Rock muscisians went through back in these days, if it weren't for these bands the Rock Genre would of ended with Kiss or Ac/Dc, I give a lot of credit to Ronnie Dio and each and every person that poured their hearts into this song and the cause it was meant for! Its always a blessing when the masses come together to help humanity, and a lot if people love to bastardize Rock music, and claim that our style of music comes straight from the devils work, this is a example that it's not all bad and good comes out of every thing, I do so believe that there's a very big spot in the clouds for these folks! God bless you all and R.I.P Vivian, Ronnie, Kevin!

    Absolutely the "cream of the crop" as far as 80s (and beyond) guitar heroes go. I liked Viv Campbell's comment about the issue with having to edit the guitar solo section. Not to mention, three of the best metal vocalists ever (Tate, Dio, Halford) are in their prime performing here as well. Hokey?...Maybe a bit. Still, pretty awesome to see so much talent in one studio.

    I was a teenager when this song and the entire video was released back in the 80s. We watched in VHS (No CD/DVD during those days). Can't get enough of it. Watched it, then rewind the tape and start over again, and again. Even now, I listen, and even watched the video every now and then.
    "Stars!" What an appropriate title! All the artists are all stars indeed. And it was intended for such a noble cause. During those days people perceived heavy metal & hard rock as something very unholy, a nuisance to the society. How wrong they were! Great initiative by Ronnie James Dio, one of the few metal gods. May his soul RIP.
