in this recording all the years weigh on ronnie's voice, but still it comes out great. one of the most moving versions of holy diver ever performed, to me.
@Ulfnarr Dio's voice IS metal. He could have lived for 30 more years(damn the f***ing cancer) He still would sing like this. As his voice never leave him, the Metal will leave his sons and daughters, the children of the Metal. R.I.P. Ronnie James Dio, and long live the Metal, for it is unkillable as long as we stand.
RIP... One of the greatest singers of all-time. You will be missed. Thanks for everything you've done for the music world and all the awesome songs you left for us.
no way is that image misleading..the demon is slaying the priest. its unambiguous to me. the priest is about to be made unconscious by the whip of the demons chain...oh don't you see what I mean?
I see you see wrong. Demon tied the priest with chain and it's like chain broke on purpose so priest will drown. To me, it is logical that picture IS misleading. Some things are not as they seem. If you see a guy with horns beating the priest what will you think? And guy perhaps wear horns just because he likes that, and "priest" may be a drunk jerk who hit a guy's child. It's not likely, but you don't know until you check. I think entire song is about that.
@SidVicious10101 I think it might be 1 step down or something, I played it in standard and it sounded out of tune to this, but the studio is in standard E tuning
The cover was controversial, featuring a monster killing what appears to be a Catholic priest. Dio was quick to argue that appearances are misleading and it could just as easily be a priest killing a monster.
Agree with you everdreams! The best forever!
