RockAidArmenia that's the best one 💪

[@somemango9587]

And they say that Infinity war is the greatest crossover ever. Smh.

[@barbarianpirate]

Iron Maiden, Queen, Deep Purple and Pink Floyd performing the same song?? That was the best idea I seen in many years... WAS AWESOME!!!

[@warreng3238]

barbarosoria 13 Not to mention Tony Iommi and Paul Rodgers.

[@swingingharnessofdoom8260]

Too many cooks spoil the stew.

[@ДимитърПетев]

Also Alex Lifeson is in the video. 5:17

[@adrianrodrigues1402]

And black Sabbath.

[@trevoryeo559]

You forgot Black Sabbath too

[@ShortFingeredShreder]

Tony Iommi, Brian May, David Gilmour, and Ritchie Blackmore playing on the same track. Holy shit.

[@NikhilPatil-ul4mk]

ikr. My mind exploded just my looking at the title.

[@fonsecorona]

ShortFingeredShreder No fucking kidding!...What are the chances of putting these guys together in a life time?

[@cesarbenavides1687]

ShortFingeredShreder About Lifeson man he's badass too!!

[@mrjacob0101]

I hate when people overlook Lifeson!

[@shezza57]

Yup

[@ripit.3457]

SMOOOOOOOOOKE ON THE WAAAAATAH woops

[@1969atam]

Brian May has the most distinctive guitar sound on the track. In a blindfold test I wouldn’t know who else was on it!

[@RockAidArmenia]

100%! Thanks for Watching!

[@therealawakener7]

You've not listened to much 'Blackmore' then.

[@colinwright4139]

You should be able to make out DG and TI blondfold too.

[@haydenn680]

you could tell the Iommi rhythm parts

[@adrianhiggins6087]

gilmour has the most distinct sound and ritchie bmoore has such a distinct sound toi.

[@pgsticker]

Best thing about this -- tons of singers and guitarists-- One Bassist

[@jakefinnen8529]

+pgsticker And one guy on Hammond.

[@mzmadmike]

Yeah, but there are a handful of bassists where you'd only need one, and Squire is one of those.

[@guvenerenerdinc7242]

and the best..

[@DameonJessey]

Keith Emerson - May he RIP

[@matzekoebele]

DameonJessey don't you dare! It's fucking Chris squire!!! They both Rest In Peace nov 😓

[@Asocial-Canine]

If you ever think you're sick of hearing people play this in a guitar store, just imagine what this recording session was like

[@mandardesai]

This is like an All Star Game of Rock Legends.

[@RockAidArmenia]

Indeed! Thanks for watching!

[@1504Shawn]

[@KingSNAFU]

This should be called 'When the Gods Played"

[@ginevramazzoleni8426]

I agree with SNAFU

[@j0nax517]

You're absolutely right!

[@emrevcimen]

the most underrated video in the history of humanity

[@chrisbuttino4098]

EVC UA-cam. That and "we are stars"

[@davidchambers8959]

Yes (pun intended)

[@edgarhernandez6124]

It’s underrated for people that do not like good music

[@Mosfet510]

This was good stuff! All that talent.

[@chetangupta5]

Tony Iommi, Brian May, Bryan Adams, David Gilmour, and Ritchie Blackmore playing on the same track. awesome

[@MauvaDeXVRO]

Iommi's tone is so easy recognizible

[@bondomofo7630]

As is Brian May's!

[@WildBillHickums]

Victor Ouriques Jeff Becks the most.

[@HotEyeBallsAching]

Can't mistake Blackmore leads either.

[@jackm.9286]

because of his leather fingers

[@KJBPSkipper]

its the one with the most reverb

[@williamhanley472]

The level of badassery is immense

[@davidesquivel5194]

Absolutely!!!

[@danielcooper1294]

Sad to think that Freddie was alive at this point, but probably too ill to turn up. I think that from the way Brian looks at times, it might be wearing down on him.

[@clockworkgirl7387]

I would have a fucking heart attack if I saw all those legends in one room...

[@chrisbuttino4098]

Clockwork Girl I'd burst into flames

[@aviacus6010]

Same

[@mainadas]

OMG... Legends Legends Legends

[@timwhite5562]

I'll say, seeing Gilmour, May and Iommi playing together is like a unicorn moment.

[@picturedlife1]

Brian May laying down his orchestral guitar riff. Signature move.

[@artanywhere7256]

Brian's guitar, so beautifully distinctive, it stood out amongst that revered crowd

[@guileweaver4691]

Brian May with The Red Special can outsing the Singers !

[@NotoriousBIGeek]

Blackmore, Iommi, Gilmour, and May... guitar gods!

[@RobGravelle]

F**k yeah!

[@intentionaloffside8934]

With Alex Lifeson to fill in the gaps!

[@wyattleatherman3093]

I’m a little disappointed that David Gilmour didn’t get that much time to shine

[@spitfire1195]

Wyatt Leatherman same

[@hbuss12]

Each of these guitarist sounds and tones stick out so well, Iommi's heavy tone, May's unique sound and Gilmour's as well as others.

[@SuperAnthony82]

i honestly believe Brian May is absolutely out of this world....you can see how Gilmour smiles after Brian has just had another light-of-speed solo......that is totally unbelievable...i love Brian style...totally unique, so so fucking beautiful!

[@soundgardener4940]

Thanks, but please: _GET. THE. FLIPPIN'. NAME. RIGHT... _Rock on!_

[@patrykkot8116]

I saw May, Gilmour, Iommi and Blackmore together, now i can rest in peace

[@mrjacob0101]

With Squire on bass, and Dickinson on vocals! And I would also add with Lifeson on Rhythm.

[@Megadeth1983Fan]

Bruce Dickinson: "Smoooke on the Waaate-Whoops!" :D

[@elisabethacronqvist7859]

Bruce just can't be serious than more of two minutes.

ПРЕВОСХОДНО!!! Это - настоящий ДРАЙВ, настоящий HARD-ROCK, сколько позитивной энергетики и безупречного исполнительского мастерства! Один из ЛУЧШИХ джэмов с участием мировых рок-звёзд! Отдельная благодарность потрясающему гитаристу, автору и исполнителю такой замечательной композиции - Ritchie Blackmore, а также всем участникам этого джэма! Такая вещь не может оставить равнодушным истинных ценителей настоящей рок- музыки и исполнения, в котором каждая нотка, каждый ньюанс исполненный как вокально, так и инструментально точно вписывается в общую линию композиции, исполнен с безукоризненной точностью и к месту, просто ''нет слов'' эмоции переполняют! Smoke on the Water - шедевр и хит на все времена!!!

[@gmbgret1]

Stunning assembly of Rock Gods. What a sound. Roger Taylor kicking ass on drums - he would have rocked on vocals and added a whole other dimension. Brian May making the Old Lady sing and showing the rest what for. Nice legs too.

[@Dush_hnamte]

wow OMG never knew such an awesome video exist......wow

[@sonyabelmontfarenheght1189]

Dusk Hnamte this is like cake with a lot of cream,chocolate and caramel... ;-):-)

Brian's Red Special should be an instrument in and of itself... there's literally nothing else like it.

[@luiscp9774]

4:05 - Gilmour: "wtf, this guy is the best".4:06 - Brian: "thank´s, I know".

[@horsiforreal]

Luis Carlos Prandini I like this one

[@banzaijack23]

gilmour > may

[@leslieandrews6165]

Luis Carlos Prandini respect

[@madmaxx4178]

[@DhrubajyotiRaja01]

Gilmour is much better than Brian May.....He has greatest solos like Comfortably numb,High hopes,Dogs,Time e.t.c

[@theefficiale3900]

Imagine Freddie's vocals on this GAME OVA

[@blumItamar]

4:03 David Gilmour on Bryan Mai "PERFECT" :))

[@ufivuhsu344]

Ritchie Blackmore, Tony Iommi, Brian May, Alex Lifeson e David Gilmour juntos é demais pro meu coração !!

[@philsnyder9873]

Man this looked like a lot of fun. Gilmour and May were clearly enjoying themselves too much!

[@rubberduck8065]

You know you've been a Queen fan for too long to know when Brian and Roger is playing without even watching the video.

[@valdivall6515]

Yup. His unique guitar sound makes me realized "Are Brian May on the guitar?" and i rewind the video and true. He played the guitar

[@scottthesportsguy]

Yep, because Brian built his guitar, it has an absolutely unique sound...unmistakeable when you hear it.

[@roosterinboro]

you will burn for dissing the Old Girl Red Special. I can't wait...Aug 2nd they're coming to Nashville. I have floor seats next to the runway. If Brian does anything acoustic I'll be 10ft away.

[@runtwer5700]

That's how I felt except it was with Iommi and Dickinson because I've been a Sabbath and Maiden fan for as long as I can remember. They stick out like a sore thumb, definitely not in a bad way.

[@cesarbenavides1687]

Justin Hoglund Iommi and Gillan!!🖒

[@alansmith9948]

Brian May and Tony Iommi stand out, Gods of guitars!!!

[@xorovats]

I was a baby in Armenia when the earthquake struck. Forever grateful

[@drstatic401]

sounds like a Guitar center in the beginning

[@sonyabelmontfarenheght1189]

drstatic401 sounds like Rock University :-)

[@chasependleton1161]

Chris Squire man, what. A. Bassist. Though he's not too loud in the mix here, you can still hear some of his subtle accents poking through. This is awesome

[@puko9415]

He should've sang too, he has such a nice voice.

[@Elagabalus711]

Man Brian May killed it!

[@danielvasquez7109]

The God's of rock n roll have spoken.

[@SARCASM_IS_MY_FIRST_NAME]

This is the Best version of Smoke on the Water.

Now only if they had had some better drums, and an Iommi solo...

[@Cotramjoxxx]

Made in Japan... This is a funny version.

[@danielschyttelvik6104]

Made in japan? dude thats the best live version EVER

[@GiacomoTarkusSannino]

CHRIS fucking SQUIRE on bass, guys....

[@boredombutcher5369]

The guy was a friggin savage on the bass

[@williamroark]

Giacomo Tarkus Sannino no mistaking THAT BASS GUITAR!!!

[@martinconnolly4585]

Fuckin amazing

[@domenicoverdelli2850]

In this song Brian May is extraordinary

[@SorooshMhs]

Probably the most epic thing happened in the history of music

[@kevinsenquiz8735]

Awesome to see Christopher Squire playing his rumbling bass!

[@AdmiraHax]

Roger and Brian killin' it.

[@atroticious]

The Red Special is so recognizable! It just shines among other guitars

[@s_p_onarge8720]

Brian may is just too good. I mean, they're all awesome but may is just a legend!

[@GuitarLessonsBobbyCrispy]

This is amazing! So did Ritchie Blackmore have to teach these guys how to play Smoke on the Water? lol.

[@olekkroc7268]

Ohhh my dear Roger and Brian

[@stevenshropshire5819]

That is called a major super group!!

[@teekey1754]

"Cream" of the crop.

[@mikewalton5469]

Bruce Dickinson is on fire!

[@aruchaalvarucha6930]

haha yeh!

[@fallyfrog]

Yeah ! *-*

[@frankieshankly703]

Isnt he allways ? :)

[@averagemetalhead9962]

He is THE BEST singer that have existed on earth, what did you expected from the GOD Bruce Dickinson?

[@VictorSilva-qf2tu]

ExG_RockN'Metal Lyric videos and more \m/ Best metal singer.

[@Syan4eva]

Paul Rodgers What an incredible voice

[@markgowans]

Paul Rogers is a great singer but I really didnt like him singing Smoke on the water. Interesting fact about Paul Rogers is that Ritchie Blackmore wanted him in Deep Purple to replace Ian Gillan before finally settling on David Coverdale. Paul coundn't do it because Bad Company had just been formed.

[@Jake_AC]

It would have been amzing if may and gilmour had have do more togeher. they are both such soulful, melodic, players and would sound amazing together

[@Frankincensedjb123]

Floyd, Rush, Sabbath, Queen, Purple, Yes ... Throw in Zep and you’ve got all my favorite rock bands wow!

[@Gichanasa]

Smoke on the Water on some intense steroids!

[@pineymusiccol]

brian may, david gilmour, Tony Iommi, Ritchie Blackmore. The big 4 of british rock guitar ever!

[@leighburne4098]

Normally big ensemble pieces like this end up being disappointing, but this one's great. Everyone's clearly having a ball and the music gels.

[@Reaper-3000]

Not only is Brian May's Guitar skills unprecedented but he is one clever dude. Astronomer, Mathematician among others..look it up..awesome

This is taking the phrase " Can you play Smoke on the Water?" To a whole new level.

[@thegoatgotmilked373]

Toni, Ritchie and Brian in the same band. I like that!
They should have formed a supergroup.

[@madman2028]

A fantastic amount of talent in one studio.

[@gregorybrian]

The bane of every guitar shop worker's existence but really fun to hear these guys do it together.

[@mrimmortalis]

I have never heard this version, but now i am stunned. Awesomeness at its best.

[@josoma123]

En 1989, los músicos de Pink Floyd, Queen, Rush, Deep Purple, Black Sabbath, Yes y Iron Maiden se unieron para recaudar fondos para los afectados de un terremoto en Armenia. Se lo llamó "el mayor arsenal de talento de rock” jamás reunido.

[@pinkzeppelinjam]

The Anthem of my Youth! Thanks Deep Purple! Thanks to all these Iconic Rock musicians for their powerful rendition!

[@DoctorBlankenstein]

7 different band members playing a song by another band, writen about Frank Zappa. Gotta love it...

[@davidesquivel5194]

The HYMN of Rock, writen about the disaster of Frank Zappa's band and Montreaux's casino by the greatest heavy rock group of all times, my friend...

[@markgowans]

Smoke on the water isn't about Frank Zappa. Its about an incident that happened during deep purple recording machine head. Frank Zappa had just finished a set at the same place Deep Purple were due to play and thats why he's mentioned in the song.

[@rayh7046]

NOT about Frank Zappa!!!!

[@Krrrimmi]

I miss this era. The longhair era of Rock & METAL. \m/

[@serdarserttop4207]

4:05 - David's reaction to Brian "Perfect" CUTE AF :D

Here is the video that we made for the 2010 remix of Rock Aid Armenia's 'Smoke on the Water'. Nice to see that we've passed the 400,000 views mark!
Please check it out and share it with your friends.

[@MikeBarnett1776]

+RockAidArmenia - I just now bought the last copy that Amazon USA had in stock. I hope the contribution helps the school in some way. How is the rebuilding progressing?

[@jondeedotcom]

+Mike Barnett We opened the school two years ago and it's teaching 220 kids a year! The school looks great - thanks for helping :)

[@MikeBarnett1776]

That is absolutely fantastic, and I'm glad that, in some small way, I was able to help.

[@KevinHallSurfing]

Have the original on the Rock Aid Amemia VHS tape, this re-mix with extra footage is great. Well done.

[@ArthaxtaDaVince777]

What does this have to do with Armenia?

[@erwinhadicandra]

This is what i called a MASTERPIECE

[@agostinoimperatore1158]

Brian May,the God of guitar with the best guitar ever,Red Special.His sound is so peculiar.

[@scandalousblue]

this vid definitely made me realize how unique the red special sounds. i'm no guitar expert, but brians solo was heavenly.

[@paularthur3623]

the best smoke on the water performance ever!!!

[@MrKennyanders]

Why haven't I seen this until now? I cannot believe what I just saw and heard. BLOWN AWAY

[@guilhermetonon7267]

the sound of the gilmour´s guitar is awesome

[@gahtheone]

That ending... That's a Queen ending. This song fucking rules!

[@blancagatanegra854]

Brian and Roger 👏💛💛💛💛

[@trevmsmi]

British Rock Royalty !

[@sithkiller4113]

When I saw Rush in the title, I was kinda hoping to see both Roger Taylor and Neil Peart on drums, but at the same time I think it’s cool that Roger is the only drummer they needed. Either way great video and great re-record!

[@sinopecrig2958]

Smoke on the Water is Rock N' Roll version of Beethoven Symphony no. 5

Brian May playing side by side with Tony Iommi... WTF AMAZING!!!

Thanks for posting on the video. Best regards, Jon Dee

[@garethhayes3470]

[@markymarco2570]

[@jamesreedy8793]

Yes is such an amazing band

[@CK-dd7eq]

Brian May made that sound like a Queen song 🤩

[@MrMudEagle]

That Ian Gillan tone is unmistakable. It really stands out in the crowd.
