By mid-2013 this band will consist of one guy who was a roadie for a band that played a Dio cover some time ago. Enough's enough, time to put this cash grab tribute to rest when even Dio band musicians lose interest and those who don't play like every third show and you don't know who you're gonna see playing these songs anyway. If Viv and Vinny do a tribute with the original band they will outsell and outshine this mess easily.

Joint press release from Led Zeppelin, The Rolling Stones, and The Who: Rudy Sarzo is now in those bands too...

(meant as a sincere compliment to an awesome player who works his ass off)
