  • RIP Dio... wasn't a fan of master of the moon... not enough dynamic range. They finally fell to the loudness war :(

  • sadly but his voice became husky... but that doesn't matter. anyway it's a great song and it's truly a shame that we'll never hear Magica 2&3.....

  • And word was born...

  • MASTER of masters. KING of kings. Dio was God and God's don't die.

  • @TheDioMagic

    he really not he just returned to his throne in heaven!!!!

  • I'm crying

  • another Dio masterpiece

  • The chorus made me sad, I remembered that now only the Gods will bend over so he can show them his magic.

  • dio will never die

  • i was in jail when i heard my idol was dead. ididnt believe it , it couldnt be true.and now ......."WHATEVER HAPPENNED TO THE ROCK AND ROLL SONG? BREAKING YOUR BRAIN, MAKING YOU STRONGER?" THE KING IS DEAD,LONG LIVE THE KING,LONG LIVE ROCK AND ROLL!

  • DIO FOREVER \m/ \m/

  • lol-more of this music of ronnie.

  • lol

  • I could not be happier that Dio managed to finish a song from his brief Magica 2 recording sessions. Magica was a masterpiece in a fashion that only Dio could produce that also contained a captivating story of sorcery, love, and battles. I have so many questions regarding this song. Could Electra be Challis's love? Is she good or working with Shadow Cast to obtain the powers of the book of Magica? I will never know the answers so I will just enjoy another great Dio song. RIP Dio.

  • @MegaPlebian Actually, the storyline of Magica was as boring and cliched as they come. Some good songs, but it's embarrassing to listen to or read the story itself. It really shows why Dio could never be a truly great lyricist like Dylan or Waits or Cohen or Waters: he just never had any kind of interesting vision.

  • @MeatTycoonDevious "A truly great lyricist like Dylan or Waits." Ok, for starters, it doesn't sound like you're very into metal which is not a bad thing. It is a bad thing however to go to a video and deliberately bash a very talented musician because you prefer a different kind of music. Ronnie James Dio had plenty of vision that he showed time and time again throughout his carreer in Elf, Rainbow, Black Sabbath and Dio. If you don't have anything good to say then don't say anything at all!

  • @MegaPlebian I'm into good music, I think that genres are stupid, and I consider metal lyricists like Mike Patton and Daniel Gildenlow among the greats.

    I don't think Dio has any kind of interesting creative vision (he did have quite a set of pipes, though - but never really anything worthy to express with them), and I don't know what you mean by "saying anything good", but this page is meant for comments on Dio, which is what I used it for.

    Nor sold on the whole "freedom of speech", are you?

  • @MegaPlebian Add Les Claypool to great metal lyricists.

  • @MeatTycoonDevious No interesting vision? Have you never heard Children of the Sea?

  • @Legionbass19 I have, it's regular ecological hootenanny dressed in "poetic" lyrics for whatever reason, and using the word "demon" to sound impressive. :-/ At least it doesn't rhyme "fire" and "desire".

    I wish Geezer kept writing the lyrics. By the way, Children of the Grave is much better words-wise.

  • I m not very fond of the voices of Ripper and Jepson in this context.

    Great singers maybe but its dissappointing compared to Ronnie.

  • RIP DIO!!!

  • Comment removed

  • Long Live Ronnie James Dio

  • HAIL DIO!!!!! Rest In Peace, Prophet for the Downtrodden and the Greatest Philosopher of the 20th century.

  • This song is the single released from the new album i think theres more to hear and its all probly just as awsome. think about it guys theres no way that theres a single without there being at least half the album recorded to some degree of completeness and im sure he woulda had the whole story down already. cant wait till they release what they have. im not sure about the idea of having someone sing his songs for him. i dont think theres one not one person who can sing Dio as good as Dio did

  • A reprise of Magica with Ronnie vocalizing the new tracks would be highly welcomed by me as a future release.

  • To perform with the Ripper does not necessarily mean that they will play live with him. More likely it means that they will record the unreleased material with him instead of using Ronnies demos. Probably they will play the tribute shows with him which are also slated for 2012.

  • Listening to this song just tells all of us how great Ronnie was just saddends me to no end that he is not here with us but I am not selfish he went to rest he truly deserved

    His legacy will never die Long Live the King of Rock and Roll Ronnie James Dio

  • This song is so good. When was it recorded? Who were the players.Anyone out there know?Anyways...this is a testament to a true metal pioneer and he will be truly missed! A great song..cant wait to hear new album(s). i miss u Ronnie!

  • DIO's music live's through us,let us not forget..rock on everyone...

  • damn the man never stopped making good music! most bands that were huge in the 80's make shit music in the 00's but not Ronnie!

  • Comment removed

  • What an awesome song! What a voice! Will the album be released? Loved MAGICA 1! I really miss DIO! Saw him live a million times, met and talked to him 2 years ago! Went to the service here in LA... Very emotional! Wendy is the best! Stay strong! Been rocking to his music for many years and will continue to do so forever! RIP RJD!

  • Ronnie told in October 2009 he was done with 7-8 new tracks. September 2010 Wendy Dio revealed that she found 2-3 new songs that Ronnie wrote after Electra.

    November 2010 she said that RJD worked on about 5 songs for the next Magica and in February 2011 Ronnie´s facebook page stated he did at least 6 songs.

    There is talk about a reissue of Magica in 2012 including these as bonus tracks.

    In February Craig Goldie revealed the Dio band will record them & will perform with Ripper Owens.

  • Here is hoping that they will use as many of Ronnie´s demoed voacals as possible on these new tracks so we get to hear his visions of the next Magica. Owens though is a great performer but I´d prefer a Dio Demo any day if it comes to an Dio posthumous release ...

  • @IMMH08 you learn to me some very good news, is it true? the dio band will continue AWESOME

  • Comment removed

  • Did Dio actually finish this album?

  • Challis and Shadowcast Epic Battle Theme song!

  • i heard that magica 2 was finished? she might release it to the public :D

  • a great song from ronnie love it

    grüße aus deutschland

  • I miss you Ronnie.

  • 5:58 weird

  • I believe that there are two or three more songs that were finished that were supposed to be on the Magica 2 album. His wife says that they will all be released.

  • does anyone know if this song can be purchased?

  • Ronnie was KICKASS AWESOME!!!!  rest in Peace Ronnie...

  • we will never hear new music from him ever again... fells bad man

  • brilliant till the end , this and mwnd....wow.

  • Long Live Rock&Roll, long live DIO l..l

  • wow thanks a million for this song its like opening a christmas present or somthing,or like ronnie left us some new material.

  • GOD

  • Was this for Magica 2?

  • @NoneBuriedDeeper Yes. Magica was always meant to be a trilogy. Magica 1, 2, and 3. But God bless Ronnie for tossing us this bone. It's almost like he planned this out. Long live 'Dio' Rock 'n' Roll!

  • The one that didn't liked this video is from the westboro church. I'm not against them, but they're assholes.

  • This song is beyond kick ass. So sad to think that just before he died he was shaping up a monster. Magica II and III. We'll never know what happened to Chalis and Shadowcast but by God this sounds great. Keep rocking up in Heaven.

  • I hope they release this as an album, and the album becomes Dio's (band) first top ten, and goes gold again..... what ban awesome track... Fav album for me is Killing the Dragon, but this is an awesome track.

  • If any other Magica 2 material has been written it'd be nice to get the Dio band with some guest vocalists and record it. I really liked the Magica album and I really like this tune... Oh yeah and I really miss Ronnie...

  • @el1986th

    i would more prefer if the album has been written but not recorded a tribute album of sorts with great metal legends and good modern metal bands playing their interpretations of the songs. and of course this track going where it belongs on the tracklist. would be the best metal compilation ever, hell the best compilation album in music ever.

    imagine Maiden, Judas Priest, Motorhead, Electric Wizard, etc. putting out this gteat concept album.

  • not to mention now awesome Havoc Unit(formerly ...and oceans) and Machinae Supremacy rendition of the Master will sound.

  • @el1986th i wouldnt want someone else to record his music... thats just wrong and dumb.... it wouldnt be dio. u cant have dio without ronnie, no more heaven and hell and definitely no more dio.... i cant believe that you would let that be okay..... ur not a big dio fan at all...

  • I can't find this on MP3. Can someone send it to me? Dio, rock on!

  • fucking great and dark song...ROCK IN PEACE!

  • Every time I hear his music I get the chills, Always the same feeling His music will live forever He is the master of his own The master of US he taught us the real music and we need to teach the next generation our children like most of parents did us teach us about DIO and he will live on forever he is Rockin with the Lord now

  • Sounds like RJD had a lot more great music for us.

  • R.I.P Ronnie -the best voice ever -the KING you miss us so much-we are all your rock;n roll children

  • we will love you forever,Ronnie James Dio

  • There needs to be a massive all=star dio tribute concert like there have been for other people, and even bands that are still around.

  • R.I.P Brother.....\m/....

  • Im glad to say I managed to see him before he passed live. Never froget that moment...

  • This song is fucking badass, i listen to it daily and the solo is great too.. Dio still kicks ass no matter what. \m/

  • Comment removed

  • R.I.P Ronnie James Dio.

    You was the best.

  • Miss ya Dio! I wish you had time to finish your epic Magica trilogy, but you left us with a ton of other great music to listen to!

  • He still had so much to give...such a shame.

  • awesome

  • Thanx Ronnie. Brilliant to the end.

  • This is a great song. Thank you for posting it.

    R.I.P. RJD!!!

  • See, this is exactly why Dio's music is going to live on for many a century to come. Even in his late sixties, the man was far beyond anything any other metal frontman could produce. I hope he was able to finish at least one of the two Magica albums before he passed. It would be such an awesome way to send The King of Metal off!

  • Rest in sweet harmony Prince Dragon RONNIE JAMES DIO...'A master Trailblazer, amazing man & musician all the way  Your music Classic's & Spirit lives on forever. Much condolences and Heart embrace to the DIO Family & bandmates.

  • oh wow...this is what was coming up? i'd say he died at his peak after hearing this, but he always seemed to be at his peak. R.I.P.

  • Before he dies, Ronnie was producing very good stuff also in solo career. The last two albums were awesome. And this song rocks!

  • I honestly normally would ever physically attack anyone, but if I saw those Westboro Church members at Dio's memorial service, I would literally kick the shit out of those fuckers!

  • @13Voorheespt2 Right Behind You!

  • @13Voorheespt2 Aw, take a chill. There were three or four insignificant idiots at the front gate with stupid, barely readable signs. You guys just give credibility to them by making a big deal about them. They were nothing. I was far too busy trying to get to the memorial to honor Ronnie James Dio. Really...DIO....you guys make too big of a deal out of nothing. We're talking about LA/Hollywood. There's a lot of whackjobs out there. No point giving them attention. It's about DIO.

  • @13Voorheespt2 Imagine the Westboro Church members faces when their judgment day comes and they’re greeted at the gates of Hell by Satan's favorite son. Man I can't wait !!!

  • @13Voorheespt2 its you and me my friend, i would mind spend a year in jail for breaking Phelps jaw....

  • @13Voorheespt2 who are they?

  • @oi565 Craig Goldy, Rudy Sarzo, Simon Wright, Scott Warren.

  • @13Voorheespt2 I thank you just for saying that. you can't read a book by it's cover and thats what their whole "organization" does it is truly a sick thing to do, especialy with someone as good as Dio

  • \m/ rest in peace ronnie james dio \m/

  • wowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww

  • This is great even beyond the grave Dio still kicks ass \m/

  • wowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww \m/

  • I was away on holiday when I heard he had passed away. RIP Ronnie. We'll never forget you. Long live rock and roll \m/\m/

  • Doug Aldrich on guitars... what he mostly used is the Suhr/Golub Marshall '78 JMP.

    The double part was a Diezel VH4 (channel 4). B)

  • @MrNyogtha If i was going i'd shove a picket sign right up their churchy cliquey little asses!!

    \m/ DIO4EVA-4EVADIO  \m/

  • I prefer Bible Black but this is still pretty cool. Miss the guy already.

  • an up coming album..........its gonna be a big hit cant wait

  • @bob48625 so magica 2 will be released?

  • I wonder how much of the album he completed before he died.

  • This proves beyond doubt that Dio still had a lot go give to music. We'll miss him guys, well I already am!

  • @yesmon4real correction... he is a true legend.. jsut cuz hes dead the title doesnt leave him...

  • Its so sad he's gone :-( This song brings tears to my eyes... RIP Dio

  • R.I.P. Dio I was shocked when I heard the news sucks man...

  • what a tune! Dio forever! RIP

  • Cool song.. RIP Ronnie, you will be missed \m/

  • Love Dio.  Always will.

  • \m/ Sweet, the album would have been better than ever. This makes me sick...DIO was only gettin better. He was a true Master of metal and vision with his creativity. Fuck the bs comments on his protest at his memorial. Give them a kick in the ass like at the riot in WI in 1980. Relive the past on more time..."The mob rules!!!!!!!!

  • check out the dio footage i shot in boston last August rom the front row. On Youtube type in heaven and hell Boston ..look for my name Shawn Brennan. was an incredible night that I was lucky enough to have been able to shoot footage of.

  • Awesome track! R.I.P. Ronnie James Dio \m/

    Long Live DIO

  • Great song.

  • R.I.P. Ronnie

  • RIP Ronald James Dio

  • It pisses me off that when I go on UltimateGuitar, I have to look at that fucking newscast about the church giving a huge religious speach about him burning in hell.

    I guess I should go read a Bible instead of listen to Heaven and Hell.

    R.I.P. I was so pissed when he died. Truely one of the greatest legends in rock and metal.

  • @justforthelulzzz man i heard about that hypochurch. the bible personally says that it isnt up to man to judge man; hypocritical, secular and trying to get christians to trade their faith for mankind's corrupt religions. RIP DIO!

  • @breatheintome055

    No kidding. That's the catholics for you.

  • @justforthelulzzz

    you speak the truth. they even post fucking updates on how they are planning to kick up a shitstorm at his funeral. Seriously, he died of stomach cancer. Give the man a break.

  • Rock in Peace DIO!!!

  • Metal Heads Unite

  • Dio...thank you..

  • R.I.P\m/

  • He rocked more in a day than most rock in a lifetime. The amount he rocked in a lifetime is too much for the human brain to calculate.

  • Ronnie James Dio finished off with an incredible song! R.I.P. Dio......you are deeply missed.

  • Awesome! Love DIO.

  • A fantastic way to leave your legacy. We salute you, Ronnie James Dio. R.I.P.

  • this a heck of a way to say goodbye Ronnie...I hope you can hear me us in heaven when we stand up and up and shout THANK YOU RONNIE... ALLRIGHT!

  • RIP Ronnie, you are missed.

  • A real awesome recording from one of the greatest rock performers. Ronnie, you will be terribly missed. R.I.P. This song would appear on a follow-up of Magica.

  • One of the most inspirational rock singers of ALL times!! I am so saddened that I will never see the master in action live on stage again.......God bless you Ronnie, we will NEVER see your like again!! Be at peace my mate.

  • A real awesome recording from one of the greatest rock performers. Ronnie, you will be terribly missed. R.I.P.
