Produced by his longtime manager and wife Wendy Dio, the album includes contributions by such metal heavyweights as Metallica, Motörhead, Scorpions, Anthrax, and Rob Halford, as well as appearances by many of the musicians who performed with Dio over the years. Review: This album is the possibly the greatest tribute album ever. - This is your life, a tribute album to the metal god Dio. Metal heads will only accept the highest quality tribute possible and they get it with this album. This is your life is great. The sheer number and caliber of the artists present speaks volumes about the man in tribute, but do they live up to the respect required? They do; there is not a single bad track on the list and some will just blow your mind. Whether it is Tenacious D performing "The Last in Line", or Adrenaline Mob performing "The Mob Rules", or a smorgasbord of rockers performing "Rainbow in the Dark", or Metallica performing "Kill the King", or Doro's amazingly haunting and beautiful voice on "Egypt", this album must be heard. Every artist put their heart and their soul into performing in a way that must make the Metal god smile from heaven above. Let me talk about "Holy Diver" and the band Killswitch Engage. I like their music and I know they have been performing Holy Diver live for several years, but I had never heard their version myself. Holy Diver is one of the greatest metal songs of all time. Like "Stairway to Heaven" and "With or without you", Holy Diver has that magical greatness, few songs truly acquire, it can be about whatever you want it to be. The lyrics touch you (and everyone else) in a very personal way, but the lyrics in a literal interpretation mean nothing. Holy Diver is considered by many to be Dio's signature song, and although this can be debated, Dio himself recognized its magical appeal to the many. Holy Diver is one of the key reasons I fell in love with Dio's music and why I fell in love with Metal, thirty years ago. Obviously I was very hesitant to hear anyone perform Holy Diver. No worries here, Killswitch Engage blows the train right off the rails. The song is amazing and possibly the best track on the album. It is worth $12 just to hear this one track. The contributors include Dio's own music makers, Craig Goldy, Jimmy Bain, Vinny Appice, and Simon Wright, just more proof how fondly Dio touched people's lives. So now you know why I am rating this album a five/five. It is great. Could it missing anything? Two things, that would have made this great album perfect. Vivian Campbell should have been heard somewhere, I don't know what their relationship was in the later years, but Dio's greatest era, Holy Diver, The Last in Line and Sacred Heart were all made possible, only with the collaboration of the two icons. Secondly, "The Gates of Babylon" performed by Yngwie and Ripper. I saw Malmsteen and Ripper Owens live a few years back and their rendition of Gates was one of the most amazing things a pair of human ears can hear. The last track is Dio's own, "This is your Life" and the song will bring water to your eyes. This album is the possibly the greatest tribute album ever. Review: A fine Dio Tribute - Ok, well for starters I really liked the Jack Black Last In Line version, especially the flute section. The last thing I want for a tribute album is bands trying to sound like the original. Anthrax does this and probably pulls it off the best if that is what you're looking for. I did like their version of Neon Knights but maybe a little too close to the original for me. I like to hear bands put their own stamp on songs. Anyway, other highlight for me as mentioned by many others on here are the incredible version of Temple Of The King by the Scorpions, probably my favorite track on here. Metallica is on fire and tight as hell on the Ronnie Rising Medley (also great song name!)! I gotta take major exception to the major ripping on Rob Halford as well and although clearly not perfect and not hitting the high notes he is know for that is a fine version of Man On The Silver Mountain. The band around him (Dio's own band) especially shines during that song with an incredible guitar solo. Overall this purchase should be a no brainier for Dio fans but some people don't really like tribute albums so maybe not for everybody. The last song, apparently on Angry Machines from 1996, almost brought me to tears. What an awesome way to end the album with the master himself. Outstanding. Finally, quick mention on the vinyl mastering which does sound fine although a very loud pressing, I would say louder than it should be but still acceptable. It is certainly not going to win awards for technical sound quality but not bad and I am quite sure (even though I have not heard it) it would blow away the overly compressed CD. Great gate fold jacket and very cool idea for the cover, I enjoyed that alot. Highly recommended. ## Images ![Ronnie James Dio: A Tribute to - This Is Your Life - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/817plRru3PL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This album is the possibly the greatest tribute album ever. *by T***Z on April 25, 2014* This is your life, a tribute album to the metal god Dio.

Anthrax, Metallica, Halford, Motorhead, songs with Dio's old bandmates of various eras (Craig Goldy, Doug Aldrich, Rudy Sarzo, Jeff Pilson, Vinny Appice, Simon Wright, Scott Warren, Jimmy Bain, Rowan Robertson)…this album absolutely RIPS!!! As many reviewers have already mentioned, the Anthrax cover of Neon Knights is amazing! Joey Belladonna really shows his stuff and the song is so true to Dio. I also like Tenacious D's Last in Line. Dio would have wanted them on here, imo, and while it may not be the greatest rendition of the song in the world, it's incredibly heartfelt by one of Dio's best friends and biggest fans, Jack Black. I like it. The Mob Rules, Rainbow in the Dark, and I were other standouts, Ronnie's Rising Medley by Metallica is awesome. There were a couple of things that could have made the album even better, imo. For example, I would have liked to have heard Lemmy singing on the Motorhead song (Starstruck) and wish Halford would have just let his voice rip Priest-style on his song (Man on the Silver Mountain), but all in all, both songs were still good. Ending with Dio's This Was Your Life was a fitting way to end the album. Man…Dio could just flat out SING. I highly recommend this album to all fans of metal, especially fans of Dio or any of the acts on it. Epic tribute.
