Elf - Driftin' (1972)

[motlencore89]

wow, great to revisit this song.

[beroth77]

rob is great in his falseto stile.plant is awesome in studio...and a shame pathetic singer live.embaressing really.freddie never reached the high notes live,roger taylor helped him everytime.Dio was a true performer,sung unbelivable well live.s the live performances that separate the boys from the men.and please ,its a fact,no way to argue about,first queen reccord 1973.first dio record 1958.with several bands and stiles,never dio was influenced by freddie.this song came before any queen work

[praetorianus72]

It sounds like queen, but Dio was first. So queen sounds like elf

[dylanesque66]

love you rjd

[CentraCross]

I really don't think Queen had heard of Elf before they broke through.

[ValeriaElf]

This is so beautiful...

[jackinjones45]

[motlencore89]

this reminds me so much of freddie mercury's voice, another great vocalist.

[hermygagala]

[punksouth123]

What an amazing song, thank you for uploading man, much appreciated. Peace to all the world and all here

[DeOlegovna]

[environick]

Dio absolutely rules

[motlencore89]

would it be possible that Freddie got his singing stlye from Dio and not the other way around.  0_0

[DellboyMcGonagle]

I met Ronnie briefly just to say hello and skake his hand at the 9:30 club in D.C. on the Magica tour here. Nice man. Very patient with all of us fans.

My favourite singer of all time.

I will miss him and I just want to say that I have oved his music since I was old enough to first hear him with Rainbow in the 70's then Black Sabbath in the 80's. I feel that part of me has gone with him. Thank you Ronnie and "Life is not a wheel with chains made of steel so bless you, yeah!"

[platez81]

Such a gentle voice ! Most of the people remembers Dio as a heavy and hard metalsinger which he was too. Multitalented singer extraordinaire!!! :´( Im sooo sad you died Dio R.I.P. Why? :(

[rosepearljanis]

brilliant!

[ledrat]

uau

[xehluggae]

Did ozzy take war pigs for his song?

[speednecromancer666]

@xehluggae nah black sabbath already made that song before this on the paranoid album 2nd 1

[BlackSabbath1989Dio]

wonderfull song

rock in peace ronnie

[motlencore89]

Electric Elves at one time beleive it or not, tha is so corny, but that was before they got record deal

[Diopriest2]

This is just brilliant. R.I.P. Ronnie we miss you. Your music will live on forever. Hail the king Ronnie James Dio One of the greatest singers of all time /,,/ /,,/

[motlencore89]

Then Vrious name changs

[miamiviceali]

[ElitheNinja900]

We will never see rainbows in the dark ever again, for our light source has been extinguished. :[

RIP RJD

[troutdaletony]

Little man with big voice

[raykanobi85]

R.I.P metal god

[amandanuchols]

RIP Ronnie

[Hitman116]

why cant i find this song!!! its incredible. this whole EP is. Dio can sing anything and make it 100 times better than it already is.

[rwhitenow]

Dio wouldn't go to Queen...

[rwhitenow]

"If i was King of Hearts...I could watch the Joker runnin wild... Makin' a fool of somebody!!" How cool

[rwhitenow]

Another gem...found

[rwhitenow]

This song is excellent for Ronnie Dio fans...Who wrote this???

[bobbigboss111]

Who do you think had wrote this song? It's Ronnie Dio for sure, and if anyone knows better than me, it's ok, let him tell us. Great song from the King of rock. Dio rules!!!

[kyopsis]

Dio's voice is just awesome, amazing!

[ferrariemil]

Great joung Dio!!!

[metalgod666alex]

WarPigs72 ???

[grushi5109]

great song.

[RainbowDeepPurple]

Which one is steve edwards in the picture?

[Diostillrocks]

@RainbowDeepPurple

Steve Edwards is the one on the farthest left.

[rwhitenow]

@Diostillrocks Who's he? did he do something after elf?

[Diofan1952]

What a voice! Dio is the best singer ever!

Thank you for uploading GarratyPL.

[motlencore89]

@Diofan1952 earliest band Vegas Kings right???

[Diofan1952]

@motlencore89 you're right.

R.I.P Ronnie James Dio

[jaknichols85]

@Diofan1952 Robert Plant? Not saying Dio isn't a good singer, but there are better singers.

[jackinjones45]

@jaknichols85 what do u mean this guy is the best......yeah there are legendary singers Robert plant, Rob halford and many others but he was a powerful singer and the best if u say there are better singers u knw nothing abt music.. yeah mercury was great he s up there with dio....dio sounds like freddie here....

[hermygagala]

@jackinjones45 Dude are you kiddin me? get your facts straight. Freddie sounds like Dio. Dio was fucking first. Seriously do your research.

[hermygagala]

@jaknichols85 Yeah ok pick one of the most famous vocalists to be the best. Are you fucking kidding me? Fame means fucking nothing about vocal talent I mean look at fucking tom araya and james hetfield. plant was an amazing singer but the best; definitely not.

[zeppelin8787]

:O:O:O queen style :P <3 it...i wonder..if io would sing queens songs...how would that end up?!

[Zeatharkivus]

I can see it now...

Queen + Dio

[TheDarkAnimators]

WELL WHEN WE FINALLY HAVE A PRESIDENT WHO CARES ENOUGH TO PUT FUNDING TOWARDS A CURE TO AIDS AND A TIME MACHINE WE CAN RESSURECT FREDDIE. THEN WE CAN SAVE EVERY AWESOME MUSICIAN THAT DIED. bUT MORE IMPORTANTLY FREDDIE AND DIO CAN DO A DUET

[Zeatharkivus]

That... Would truly be beautiful.

[Gingergryphon]

@zeppelin8787 At first I thought "All The Fools Sailed Away" was a Queen song. He and Brian May were friends. My God, Dio singing with Queen would be so fucking much awesomeness the universe would probably implode! :)

[beroth77]

@zeppelin8787 FIRST QUEEN LP WAS RELEASED IN 1973 ,SO....I'M JUST TEASING .I DON'T SEE A SIGNIFICANT SIMILARITY ALTHOUGH SOME TIMES THIS SONG REMINDS ME OF"SPREAD YOUR WINGS" BY QUEEN.BUT VERY LITTLE SIMILARITY.I KNOW THAT IS" FORBIDEN" TO SAY THAT FREDDIE WAS NOT THE BEST SINGER OF ALL ,WELL HE CERTAINLLY WAS A GENIOUS.BUT AS A SINGER DIO OWNS HIM SO EASILY. SEE THE LIVE PERFORMANCES,FREDDIE SOUNDS ALWAYS WORST THAN IN STUDIO.DIO DOESN'T,HE EVEN SINGS HIGHER NOTES LIVE.AS IN CHILDREN OF THESEA

[ThatKrookedVulture]

@zeppelin8787 OMFG YES!! If DIO had sang Stone Cold Crazy or something like that it would be like a music version of sex!!!

[zeppelin8787]

@ThatKrookedVulture correction my friend.it would be better than sex. :)

[ThatKrookedVulture]

@zeppelin8787 Amen!

[hermygagala]

@zeppelin8787 No Queen is Elf style. Elf was before Queen.

[CityFannn]

@zeppelin8787 Technichly... it was out a year before of Queen's First album. so actually its a Dio Style.

[paranoia1337]

this is really good
