0:00
of that project Hear 'n Aid, you know,
0:02
we're stars. How did that thing happen?
0:05
That That's amazing. It's not talked
0:07
about very much. Uh um
0:10
Well, that was something that when uh
0:12
We Are the World came out,
0:14
>> Yeah. all the pop stars got together and
0:19
they did this nice thing to raise money
0:22
and blah blah blah blah. So, Ronnie got
0:26
uh and Vivian and and Jimmy, "Why don't
0:31
and do the same thing? Get all our
0:33
friends on it." So, that's the way it
0:35
started. Jimmy and Viv wrote the song.
0:38
Ronnie wrote wrote the lyrics and
0:41
And then uh we had a song, so it was
0:43
like, "Okay, let's start. Let's go
0:46
record it." So, when we recorded
0:49
Stars, I had my drums and Frankie Banali
0:53
from Quiet Riot. I was set up set up
0:56
here. He was set up over there. And we
0:59
played together. Yeah.

1:03
You know, we go, "Okay, you ready?
1:05
Three, four, bam bam." And he played at
1:10
And we kept it kind of simple, so it
1:12
didn't get cluttered, you know, with the
1:14
>> Yeah. So, that song actually has the two
1:17
drummers at the same time. Wow.
1:20
Yeah, there's two of us on there. How
1:22
How many takes did you did you do or it
1:25
was Uh a couple takes at the most.
1:28
Yeah, it's an easy song. W- W- When I
1:31
think about it, you and Frankie have a
1:33
similar sound of the drums. I mean, back
1:36
in the in in in the days on the albums,
1:39
you know. Uh maybe similar production of
1:43
Yeah, yeah. Angelo Arcuri was the
1:45
engineer who did our Dio records. Yeah.
1:48
And he was the sound man for Sabbath
1:51
And um so, the sounds were there and uh
1:55
Frankie and I kind of played
1:58
kind of the same feel.
