From covering guitar solos on KZfaq to becoming a Judas Priest guitarist. You'll never know what the future holds.

What if he had the slightest idea that he'll join priest some day..

Why the hell haven't I heard of this guy B4...Wow what a player....

Ronnie James Dio was a really small guy but his larger than life voice propelled metal to where it is now. in my opinion this was an excellent rendition of Holy Diver. Ronnie James Dio shell may be dead but his spirit still lives on long and strong you damn right \m/ \m/!

F****ing perfect hybrid of your style and the signature riffs! Killer work R

Dude, you are always shredding amazing, and all the Priest solos.. So good shows! I wish'd i could have those like talents!

i acutally like it with wah wah :D

i by no means have the authority to say this but in my own opinion dio would be not just be happy but honored with what you have done with his music because it takes much more than just skill to do what you did with the solo it takes love and reset im happy to have heard that thanks

Awesome

I wanna hear the continuation!!

Right on dude! Awesome solos and tributes!!! Your style is pretty relaxed and with it, and also, you shred the really fast and harder stuff showing such very little effort! Must of been born with a six string in your hands. Maybe someday I,ll be able to play around the likes of you but until then, keep slicing that fretboard!! ROCK ON!!!

holy shit true as fuck hes not masking anything he plays clean as hell in every solo video and you can actually hear every note here too

That was a well articulated (beyond) the original I like you version. You got some solid fingers there bro. Keep on tearin it up brother. Great Job.

@scorpionshred no shortage of critics..hes a great player .Listen to his hendrix ..So much talent in his vibrato is smooth ..and to boot in priest now..Not bad for someone with weak technique..

Richie you are a fucking beast!!!.

@boxafrogz He fits right in!!! what a guitarist!!

@scorpionshred I assure you theres no weak technique here! Get your ears tested mate

Holy mothafucking god damn shit that was dope as hell!!! \m/ \m/ \m/ \m/ \m/ \m/

You are on your way to metal god status.

No one has come close i can find, me get good ears

Dude tell us how you got the role at priest 🔥

ooOoOoOOoO DAT WAH

that was fucking amazing

😮

MFFM 58YRS THIS XMAS MAN ,,& STIL FCKN METALLNG,, THANKZ RITCHY METAL UP HARD BRO,,JUDAS PREIST FORD V8 MFFM 4EVR MMM N.Z.

Hey Richie, you are playing amazing! :-) May I become Your guitar student online, one day?!

0:14

Hmmm, I don't listen to any Priest at all, I didn't realize you were actually a famous guitarist! Well, it kinda shows...

uauhhhhhh....... UAUHHHHH

This is the one that did better than axeman Vivian itself......

So was he in Priest at this time?

I’m a guitar player but I’m not the best, I could never figure guitar out, I made some really good riffs and a couple of songs but if I could play like this I’d be a millionaire and I would just play guitar all day long while drinking a few beers

needs more wah

If Zakk Wylde had played for Dio.....

vivian campbell lel

hey zakk wylde xD

Too much Wah wah for my liking....but still you are a fuckin shredder dude...Awesome \m/

@scorpionshred If you think this guy is masking technique, you do not have an ear for music and should quit if you haven't already.

you should put some P.A.F. clones in there instead of the sterile always sound the same no matter what guitar you put them in emg's

Whoa whoa whoa... Settle down Kirk Hammett. This solo doesn't get wah.

Shit distortion
