They would have been Rock legends like Scorpions, VH, Rush, OZZy- but they went the pop root- good for them. They keep touring the same good songs from 25 years ago because their albums have been horrible.
Has ANY band wasted a great guitarist as bad as they waste VIV? He was amazing with DIO- now he is just a background muscician- is his guitar even plugged in?
Sad to think what kind of badass music they could have put out if they stayed true to their roots- and then added a shreader like V C. Instead they have to play- pour some sugar on me every night-lol and play county fairs. That is what happens to Sell Outs.

Vivian Campbell is nothing more than an average guitarist, especially for that era. He's never been a songwriter, didn't become a producer and hasnt graduated beyond being a sideman. After Dio's death, he put together a band that only plays Dio songs. Lame.
He's just another guy. And he's fortunate that Jake decided to join Ozzy. Otherwise, no one would even know his name.
