Interesting, for a guy who always claimed to not believe in Heaven & Hell and demons, angels, religion,ect. he speaks of encountering an evil spirit at the Chateau and years later the same spirit came up when the Dio band was doing a seance......
It's also very interesting to hear Dio stand up for Ozzy from the complete "vocalist" perspective: 1/2 the material is from the vocalist....not matter if he wrote the lyrics or a stitch of music.
I fucking LOVE Ronnie and think he's a certifiable genius....but...he didn't have good ideas about his rhythm section players. I.E. Jimmy Bain is a very plain player compared to the great Bob Daisley, and Vinny Appice absolutely sucks compared to Cozy or Bill Ward...who he should held as his standard talent level to record with him.
The ghost story was a big shock...did that jump out of nowhere, or what? Translation: the band were all on LOTS of drugs at the time. Heh heh heh. Ah, good 'ol Dio, great storyteller. He's such a joy to just listen to. He must have had so many stories to share.
Ronnie James always has such insight. Yeah, I refuse to buy any album that screws over the original artist. I'm no fan of illegal downloading, but I openly illegally downloaded the early Ozzy albums that are re-made because it's like painting a mustache on the Mona Lisa: A DISGRACE! I also illegally downloaded Judas Priest's Sad Wings of Destiny because the record company screwed the band over-and they aren't getting royalties for it. And you know what? I'm glad I did it!
Interesting comment, at the start of the video he says I dont believe in God, and at 04:27 he says Thank god coz it broke her fall. Hmmmmm, great vocalist.....but unquestionably confused!
I think Ritchie Blackmore got him into it. Ritchie was into seances. I'm sorry, but I didn't understand what you meant when you said "No wonder he got with Kerry Livegren"... What did you mean?
Pretty brave bringing up the Bob Daisley, Lee Kerslake situation and the 1st two Ozzy albums !! This was all in all a fantastic interview from start to finish! Ya Got Ron in a good mood, not rushed and very talkative. Questions were perfect as well!

He is such a humble man. He doesn´t want to talk badly about anyone. A very very fine and nice man.

Did Dio actually do drugs? Looking at him now, you wouldn't say so.

Yeah, I'm not sure he actually means that stuff about Baal. But definitely funny...it really does say "no thanks to Baal" inside my LLRR sleeve...:p

@faceurhell I wonder if Ozzy and Dio became frinds before Dio died, i hope so.

Spirits and divinity/religion do not necessarily go hand in hand depending on one's philosophical beliefs.
