VIVIAN CAMPBELL Performs DIO Classic With STEEL PANTHER In London (Video) - Dec. 3, 2012
Fan-filmed video footage of DEF LEPPARD/ex-DIO guitarist Vivian Campbell performing the DIO classic "Rainbow In The Dark" with STEEL PANTHER at the final show of the Los Angeles glam metal jokesters' U.K. tour on November 15 at the HMV Hammersmith Apollo in London can be seen below.

Campbell revealed in April that he is planning to join forces with three other original DIO members to play "some gigs" that will see the musicians performing material from the early DIO records that Campbell appeared on. Tenatively dubbed LAST IN LINE, Campbell, Vinny Appice (drums), Jimmy Bain (bass) and Claude Schnell (keyboards) will be accompanied by singer Andrew Freeman, who has previously fronted HURRICANE and LYNCH MOB.

Campbell and Ronnie James Dio worked together on the first three DIO albums 1983's "Holy Diver", 1984's "The Last in Line" and 1985's "Sacred Heart" — before Irishman Campbell left to join WHITESNAKE in 1987.

...that smelly twat had ZERO to do with RJD while he was alive, now here he is, ONCE AGAIN, living off of Ronnie.

Im just dont understand Miss Vivian. I wanted to like him. He's Irish, he understands who Rory Gallagher is, he played on some of my favorite discs, but he clearly is an asshole.

Didn't Campbell piss on all the DIO catalog for years. Now, he's playing this music. Why don't he just leave it alone.

As much as peeps hate on VIv, Craig Goldie never even got close. Imo the first three Dio albums have the best guitar work in all of Dio's collection.

vivian's guitar work on those early DIO albums is totally badass. dio's albums post vivian are weak in comparison imo.

campbell is a joke. he wanted nothing to do with that music and stated how he hated metal many times but now that DIO is no longer around he wants to reclaim it? you played on the records and got your due then and that is all you deserve. if you had anything to do with writing the music then why haven't you done anything that is remotley cplose to it in the 30 years since? syop living off his legacy and make your own music!

The guy was ripped off by Dio and his wife and stood up to them.
Good for him.
He has every right to play those songs seeing as how he helped to create them.

solid guitarist, and when he left Dio, the band and music suffered - he was an asset that Dio didn't fully appreciate - so Vivian took his talents elsewhere. Vivian has never been short of work since, and he has a great reputation as a team player, superb guitarist and all round dude.

It is sad the way things turned out between him and Ronnie, but it is a two way street... Vivian is as much a part of those early Dio records as Ronnie in my opinion.
