4.0 out of 5 stars DIO delivers the best of an okay tribute cd., May 22, 2000

Tribute records are typically either hit or miss and this one is no different. The standout song is "Dream On" with a heaven-sent combination of Ronnie James Dio with Yngwie Malmsteen. Dio makes this tune his own by not doing a paint by the numbers rendition, instead he adds his own take on it with tuneful vocals and a passion. Yngwie's guitar part is what you'd expect...a million notes per minute. Mark Slaughter shines on "Back In The Saddle", Vince Neil rocks "Chip Away At The Stone", Jeff Keith and Tommy Skeoch of TESLA fame totally rock out on "Draw The Line", as does the combo of Jack Russell (GREAT WHITE), Jeff Pilson (DOKKEN) and Bobby Blotzer (RATT) on "Same Old Song And Dance", WARRANT'S own Jani Lane delivers on "No Surprize" and set ender "Toys In The Attic" is ripped on by Stephen Pearcy (RATT) and Tracii Guns (LA GUNS). Stinkers include songs by Ted Nugent, Jack Blades & Tommy Shaw, Mickey Thomas of STARSHIP and Fee Waybill(TUBES) abomination of "Walk This Way". I recommend it based on the strength of the winners. RATING: 7/10

4.0 out of 5 stars Tribute.....NOT a "Greatest Hits" Album, January 3, 2000

This is an excellent collection of artists doing some great Aerosmith songs. I'm rather suprised at some of the other reviews listed for this album. This is a Tribute TO Aerosmith. Not Aerosmith doing a "Greatest Hits" collection. If you bought this cd and expected Steven, Joe and the rest of the boys, then I guess it is a disapointment to you. It's a collection of different artists that wanted to show their appreciation to a very important rock group. And I think they did a wonderful job. "Dream On" is probably my top pick of this album. Ronnie James Dio, Yngwie Malmsteen and Stu Hamm was an excellent combination for this song. "Sweet Emotion" was rather good also. So get this album. Give it a listen, but just remember what I said at first. This is a TRIBUTE. Not a "Greatest Hits" album.

5.0 out of 5 stars Like a bunch of old buddies got together and Kicked some ***, September 9, 1999

More than an average tribute put together in haste, this set of songs and the tasteful pairings of musicians is solid! I think a good amount of thought was put into the selections of music and people to play each song....very well matched to style and tempermant of the artists normal concepts!

My Biases would lean me towards the exciting mix of Yngwie and Dio due to my avid following of both Rainbow and Malmsteen's Rising Force.

Ted Kicked like I knew he would too~ Hell the whole thing ROCKS!
