Congratulations to WikiBrothers Andre Vargas, Caio Marcello, and Conrado Arcoleze for bringing home the poster for the Dio tribute album, " This Is Your Life "!!
– My favorite track from the Dio tribute album is “The Last in Line.” It’s great to see that Tenacious D can adapt so well to other musical styles besides their own (comedy rock), and this song is an excellent example of the band’s quality as artists. Jack Black has a fantastic, very powerful voice and a very unique timbre that fits perfectly in this song. He could sing anything and still sound spectacularly good. Kyle Gass, despite being undervalued, is an excellent guitarist and adapted his style very well to this song. One of my favorite parts of the song is the flute solo. They built a very creative element by replacing the guitar with the flute, and it sounded surprisingly good. Tenacious D were very dedicated fans of Dio, who was one of their greatest and dearest idols. This was a great tribute that surely pleased Dio, wherever he is :') – Andre Vargas
– One of my favorite tracks on the album is the cover of Rainbow in the Dark. The song has a modern, hard rock feel thanks to the band members who performed it, without losing the essence of the original. Aside from the lack of the synthesizer that marks the original song, this version is fuller-bodied with more energy in the guitars of Christian Martucci and Satchel, but without losing the brilliance of the original. Corey Taylor nailed the vocals, his melody fitting perfectly throughout the song. – Caio Marcello
My favorite track from the Ronnie James Dio tribute album is the historic "Temple of the King," featured in a more than moving version by the Scorpions. This track was one of the rare songs I fell in love with the first time I heard it, especially because of Dio's emotional voice. On the tribute album, it was even more special because it was recorded by one of my favorite bands, the Scorpions. The German band presented an incredibly moving version, worthy of making anyone cry, especially with Klaus Meine's voice, reminding me in several parts of how Ronnie sang this glorious song. The German band's arrangement was magnificent, especially guitarists Matthias Jabs and Rudolf Schenker who did a magnificent job. In short, I'm sure Ronnie, wherever he is, when he heard this magnificent version of "Temple of the King," just as we are when we remember this magnificent figure that was Ronnie James Dio. – Conrado Arcoleze
