Most really good singers can sing their faces off, but in my opinion, Ronnie sang not just HIS face off but YOURS TOO! Remember, he was 42 in this year. That really puts a perspective spin on things. Most people in their forties start losing it vocally. Not so with Ronnie! He just stayed so freaking powerful to the very end. Absolutely LOVE him!
I was at this concert - 8/25/1984 - Remember RONNIE talking to us at the start, saying there were Camera crews that would be Amongst the crowd, filming it for a LIVE Concert Video. Great time, amazing show, amazing Performer - Best METAL Vocalist ever (<----- Not just MY sentiments, but ROB HALFORD's as well, via THAT METAL SHOW, special Dio Tribute show - 11/16/10 - VH1 Classic)
The greatest Dio song, besides Holy Diver!!!! no Sabbath, no Ozzy, no nothing can get close to that....Glory to the Master of Heavy Metal of the '80s!!!!!
o q eu posso dizer sobre esse monstro q é e sempre será a voz do metal ou seja nosso eterno pai e mestre,q infelizmente nos perdemos,eu vi esse monstro em 1992 no ibirapuera na turne black bicho q puta som ate hoje não sai da minha mente é o melhor show q eu ja vi na minha vida e olha q ja vi iron,metallica e muito mais.........
@oregonhorrordrunx I was born in 77 so I got in to some music like this when it was new Iron Maiden, ACDC..etc. As a kif you can only listen to so much but it was nice to have real metal be popular..not this emo shit we have now.
heard this song when it first came out, im 35 now, i still cant help but to throw my fist in the air or throw up the devil horns every time i listen to this song even to this day. fucking love DIO!!!! they were one of the first hard rock/heavy metal bands i really fell in love with. LONG LIVE DIO........R.I.P. brother!!!!!
Thank you 4 your music & your legacy will lives on. Much respect from me from PENANG island of MALAYSIA. DIO is the true originator of the METAL HORNS. HORNS UP 4 THE KING OF ROCK N ROLL... WE ARE YOUR ROCK N ROLL CHILDREN..!!!
first metal song i ever appreciated. I remember hearing it when i was five years old watching crash impact part II, they played this song while they showed monster trucks crashing...it doesnt get more metal than that. RIP RJD
My tears are turning to Rainbows in the dark. I will miss you Ronnie, I was there that night this video was shot, awesome show. Ronnie is the greatest, not only as a vocalist but as a person. You are the " Man on the Silver Mountain"
the first time i saw dio,was at the1984concert filmed at the spectrum in philly,i was 14 and he became my favorite singer ever sence,i had the great privalage of seeing heaven and hell a couple of years ago again at the spectrum,man i felt like i was 14 again,youll be a part of my life forever ,long live ronnie james dio.
R.I.P. Ronnie James Dio. You will always be a legend. Move over Satin... there's a new sheriff in town. Rock the hell outta that place Dio!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
we sat for about 2 hrs drinking wine and beer talking about music and ancient history. he was the most well spoken, polite person i have ever met. he took the time to say hello to a few people who had heard he was on the flight and signed some autographs. i couldnt believe he took the time to speak to everyone who approached him. he was a real class act. after landing he told me, he hadnt slept for about 30 hrs or so. i made the comment whey didnt he sleep on the flight, he stated..."the fans"
@lickalottapuss5 What a guy then eh? Not a lot of people would not sleep just to give the fans a little time. Some wouldn't even give you the time when you're backstage at thier gigs... Sounds a great bloke, you're lucky to have met him mate
just to add to RJD's kindness, i was lucky enough to get bumped up to first class on a flight from London to Toronto on BA in 92'. and after settling in my kick ass seat, i looked over to the guy in the row next to me and couldnt believe it. there sat RJD with a sunglasses and NY yankees hat on relaxing reading a book. i looked over a few times and finally he noticed. i was about to say something and he said "so, what are you drinking" no bullshit. i stated i was a big fan of course.
This was our wake up call when I was stationed in Mannheim Germany,We had big metal doors and they would just shake when my friends bose speekers played this song.Dale M
I'm a stage mgr from San Diego and had the PLEASURE of working with Ronnie 4 or 5 times over the years.One HELL of a singer, one HELL of a nice guy.Always has a minute or two to speak to a fan.Maybe the nicest ROCK STAR I've ever met,and i have met a TON of them.ROCK ON RONNIE.!!
@iulisoulkiller there is, hes atop a building and a nerdy bsuness man going 2 sexsh0ps., saw it on VH1, shame itz not on you tube, mebe itz copyright protected w/c suckz.. a haunting vid..
If everyone would place his hand on the computer and say a little quick prayer for our beloved Dio our combined prayers and good will would help, it cant hurt 2 try. Such a legend, i think he desereved that!
Mate im praying too!!! when i know bout that notice, i see myself at 17 screaming: always live forever!!!! and now im trying to not cry.... DIO LIVE FOREVER!!!!
I don,t believe all of that bad stuff you are saying about Dio, he rock this out of the water. So be nice, stop the hate. if you can,t say anything good about a person ,don,t watch . thank you.
this guy is around 5 feet tall and has a HUGE presence on stage asshat!!!! is this the first time you have listened to r.j. dio? it's obvious you've never seen him live. now go get you're fu*king shinebox!!!! dio rocks!
This guy has no persona on stage. He has decent vocals but he lacks prescence on stage. Poor frontman to have with you. Cant even dance to the beat . No signature moves also. Id hate to have him on tour with me.
zenmachine2 has knocked DIO on ever DIO video. I think he likes having people scream at him, ya know one of those closet homos that dream about angry gay sex with dio fans... you know the type.
Vintage Vivian and a powerful RJD, this was the shit back in the day. But just like so many others, they went their seperate ways. Damn, damn, damn. Where has all the good music gone?
