Destroying Steven Tyler:

Ooooh, not sure I’m with you on this one. ST has pipes easily the equal to RJD, IMO, and is a more nuanced songwriter. I love them both but they do dfferent things and to me , as much as I love and respect Dio, his voice is the wrong tool for the job on this song.

Special demerit for the out-of-place wanking metal guitar.

Kind of expect sonic lunacy from Yngwie
 
perhaps because I grew up with the original--- and ST has, as has Aerosmith always been a favorite of mine (RJD was well liked but not a "favorite") I hear a "sweet emotion" in the original--- that typically only the WRITER of a song can imbue to it --- not to say some singer can not tkae a song a really KICK IT FULL of emotion and make you BELIEVE it---

I hear "cover tune" all over the RJD version......

sorta like this ..................
 
“Destroys” Steven Tyler?

Sorry, can’t go there with you.

RJD is a great vocalist in his genre, to be sure. No question about it. He has great range and power.

I certainly am not an RJD expert, but every time I do hear him, though, I feel like I’ve heard the same vocal before.

It may be because Dio’s chosen genre has him sort of pigeon-holed to one sound, but Tyler’s voice seems more versatile.

Certainly doesn’t “destroy” Steven Tyler.

Just an opinion and you shouldn't feel as you have to go anywhere, I just listed to the Aerosmith version for the first time ever - after hearing Dio's version - and I much prefer Ronnie's work. To me, I can find nothing of interest in Tyler's vocals, although he has great talent as a writer and a showman. As I have said before, Tyler's frequency so repulses me that I change the station the minute I recognize him. Dio is the all time heavy metal singer IMHO.
 
WHAT??? no POINTS for the "Sweet emotion" plug in Post 5 ???

ANd hey you KNOW you all LOVE Pat Boone ;) Black is the only one being honest ;)

You GO BLACK --- let loose that inner BOONE!!!!

Steven Tyler is one of those guys that just cant be replaced. Same as Angus, cant be replaced. Cool sounded band though. Thanks for sharing RH.

In a similar related story... I've seen Black Sabbath perform with Ozzy and RJD. On the live Sabbath music that was written with Dio, the performances were everything I could have hoped for. A soon as Dio performed any Sabbath/Ozzy stuff, it would sound too cheezy. BTW, also saw Dio with Blackmore's Rainbow.... Oh yes... :dood:
