  • He said he's an only child, but I thought he had a brother that spoke at his funeral??

  • Nice shout out for Bill Maher, by the way.

  • People, idiots, religitards......grow the FUCK up. God is a fairy tale used to frighten children. People are destroying the world and killing each other over myths. Read the stupid fucking bible and you'll be an atheist too. If you believe in it, then you've never READ it. You've just skimmed passages some child-fucking priest told you to and you believed. If it were true, then that god is the most horrible monster that has ever existed. Read the bible, and then wipe your ass with it.

  • ronnie looks very tired here---dont ya think??

  • Heaven and Hell, beginning to end, is one of the best metal albums of all time.

  • man poor dio look at his face hes really sick from the stomach cancer. the amazing thing is that even though hes sick he still will get up on stage and make his fans happy

  • Sad, I pray Ronnie had a change of heart in his dying moments.

  • @bulletinman  A change of heart from what?.

  • @Ryanmetalmatthew You can add the names of Rob Halford and Bruce Dickinson to that list.

  • best rock interview.

  • Ronnie James Dio was a class act. Smart,ariculate and classy...He is very missed,but somewhere in heaven their is one hellava metal band...RIP Ronnie..

  • @LBjim If he were alive he'd fight you on the whole heaven thing... but hey, he was the man. We miss you badly DIO.

  • after many years I realized that Ozzy was just lucky to have met Randy Rhoads who wrote his first two albums, without him he would have been probably forgotten...but Dio is really great, with or without Black Sabbath or Ritchie Blackmore

  • RIP Ronnie.

  • This is Rock and Roll history.

    I've watched all 7 parts many times. A must see for anyone who is interested in Christianity, Rock and Roll history, and Dio.

    Eric knows what he is doing. The other Dio interviews around are pretty canned and dry.

    Thank you Eric for asking the great questions, you are a great host with a unique perspective. Cheers!

  • This is the absolute best DIO interview I have ever seen! Very informative... Detailing the length of his musical career. From ELF to DIO and everything in between... A MUST WATCH for all true fans of Ronnie James Dio! Be sure to watch all the parts, I assure you that you will not want to miss this!! Another Must watch is the "Ronnie James Dio - Brutally Honest Tour Bus Interview 1994" I really enjoyed that one as well! Ronnie was a man of true integrity... You were like a brother to us all \m/

  • "not gonna have 12 virgins for the rest of my life..:"

    well, they'd only be virgins for the first day or so:p

  • who is the angel he speaks of is it wendy

  • I have never heard so much from Dio. Great great stuff, Eric.

    I will so miss this man forever.

  • love this interview. i am a huge kerry livgren fan but never heard dio's perspective of working with livgren. i had heard livgren's perspective of working with dio. this is so cool!

  • JESUS IS LORD satan is a liar.the word of God will always live forever.

  • @KLJ6371 what did satan lie about?

  • @KLJ6371 I think you are a liar

  • @KLJ6371 don't mix religion and music, in my town there is a priest which is a bug metal fan and it has a lots of tattoos,and still he's working in school as a preacher,

  • just can't get over hes gone. great great man. as well as one of the best singers of all time.i will miss you forever. rest in peace .see ya when i get ther

  • what pisses me off are those ozzy enthusiasts that go on Dio pages and bash him saying Black Sabbath is his band..fuck off u assholes Dio was the heart and soul of Black Sabbath..and to me the only thing i wish is that Dio cudve recorded the first 3 Sabbath albums instead of ozzy so those assholes wud shut the fuck up and stop bashing him..he's a GOD...RIP Dio (even his stage name means God how can you get any better than that?)

  • RAINBOW IN THE HELL !!!

    RIP

  • he believes in heaven and hell now!

  • @readJames48 No..you moron...only you do. You'll never learn. It is so very sad that this country has so many idiots still living in fantasies of the dark ages. Try listening to Pat Condell, or Richard Dawkins, and Christopher Hitchens on here.

  • Just learned that Ronnie has passed away.

  • @ambientgreg THe last update I read on his site was that He was doing well.

  • @ambientgreg R.I.P. Ronnie

  • Basically I wanted to know If God was real and so I said " God are you really there?" If you are, help me" . Six weeks later I heard the message of Jesus Christ and understood it for the first time. That's when I found out. When I got balls enough to open a bible,and go to church wanting God to show himself to me. He's real, Ziggy. I would not waste yours or my time writing all this otherwise.

  • ...and I hear Ronnie is doing well by the way so that's good news for all here.

  • what is all this christian silliness?

  • May the words of the song, "Mask of the Great Deceiver" come back to Ronnie, Lord Jesus, and may he surrender his life to You!

  • As I've said...If your feelings on this are so strong, and they seem to be, what are doing listening to RJD, Sabbath, etc..and commenting on here? Not the kind of thing to do or place to spend your time?

  • Ronnie's been coming here to houston to recieve chemo treatments for stomach cancer. I read on his site that some of the tumors and gone and some are shrinking,so good reports so far. you can go to his site and his wife Wendy is posting updates.

  • @ambientgreg Yes she is doing that. But she's his ex-wife and manager.

  • I met Ronnie and He was very nice and talked with me for several minutes. And is a very powerful vocalist. He needs to recieve the truth of the Gospel and Jesus Christ, though. Heaven and Hell are real places and we will all stand before God one day. I pray that will see Ronnie in Heaven one day. And it could happen!!

  • You mean you only 'believe' they are real places. Ronnie will be 68 years old later this year and no doubt he has heard a lot of people and was probably raised Catholic-meaning Christianity. Watch the film 'Religulous' with Bill Maher and then you can believe or rationalize to yourself heaven and hell if you want.

  • No, I mean that these are real places. Jesus is alive and heaven is real. Unfortunately there is also a very real devil and a very real hell. I know Ronnie is a man - not a god, nor a devil, and I want to see him well. I'm sorry for anything you or Ronnie that made him or you turned off to God or turned away from him,but it doesn't change the reality of the existance of the spirit realm. It is all real. Whether you know it or not & whether you beleive it or not.

  • As I have said and Dio has mentioned..if you are a mature, respectful, and open minded, rational person watch Religulous with Bill Maher...as Dio talks about in the clip above.

  • @ambientgreg So is Sheol real also?

  • @ambientgreg The burden of proof lies with you. There is not enough evidence for a god or devil.

  • @ziggy471961 No one proved the reality of God to me. I found out . I could go into my story at length if you'd like. God may show himself to you in a way that you'd know it was him But I have nothing to prove to anyone.

  • @ambientgreg You posted to thousands of people that god is real, so therefor the burden of proof lies with you. What is your story anyway?

  • @ziggy471961 And I'll tell thousands more that God is real, Ziggy. I'll try to condense this somewhat. I didn't grow up in church and had no previous religious background really. I did hear about Jesus dieing on the cross for my sins but I didn't understand that and I thought I wasn't even here when Jesus was alive. How could He die for my sins? Living in America you get exposed to that message though.

  • @ambientgreg Did you know that there was no reserection storys in any of the gospals? That they were penned in later by scribes? Did you know that according to Roman documents that king Herod was dead before Christ was supposedly born? Did you know that there is absolutely no evidence outside of the bible for the exodus? You just keep on telling people all about the absurdities of the bible and god.

  • @ziggy471961 You asked me what my story was and I've told you. My life's never been the same since that night. So, what's your story, ziggy?

  • @ambientgreg I was a fundamentalist christian at one timeuntill I started studying the bible and church history. Now I'm an atheist. I got tired of being lied too, living in fear and guilt wondering if I was living my life right to please a megalominiacal,genocidal,racis­t,sexist dictator.

  • @ziggy471961 Wow. that's interesting. So , how did you become a christian?

  • @ambientgreg My family pushing it on me. I lived in fear as a child. As an atheist I've never felt so good about myself. I now realize my full potential.

  • @ziggy471961 Wow. That sucks. I'm sorry you went thru that. I had different people talk to me about Jesus,and I would listen but didn't really think He had anything to do with me. KInda like i know who He is ,why is this person telling me about Jesus again...and for me it was because I knew about him,but I couldn't say I knew him. People can say things about ziggy,but until I meet ziggy personally, all I know is what others have said. I have to find out myself to find out the truth about him

  • I think it's interesting that he's confident that God doesn't exist, but has said elsewhere that he's certain life exists on other planets.

    I also think it's noteworthy that he initially tries to dodge commenting on the content of his Heaven and Hell concert "ad lib." He had a Catholic upbringing, and there is no question he was aware of the inflammatory nature of what he was singing (and still does, incidentally). I think there's probably some unresolved hostility lingering from his youth.

  • It's not interesting. If life happened here, on a planet, why wouldn't it happen on another planet? That's nowhere near the logical leap of assuming an angry, murderous, jealous super-man is the source of all things.

  • why do you say RJD is sick and needs prayer?? He is a grown man and is simply expressing his opinions and beliefs when asked by the interviewer. The fact is that neither you nor I nor RJD KNOWS anything beyond this life other than what each of us personally "believes". Beliefs are just that..BELIEFS..not actual knowledge. RJD seems to me to be a truthful, kind human being. So, pray if you will for him..never hurts....maybe he should have pity for you or hope always for good for you.

  • He was diagnosed with cancer. He is really sick is what they mean.

  • @classicheavy , eehmm, he´s sick, because he has stomach cancer

  • maybe you shoudn't listen to RJD if you're such a Christian person then...what are you doing commenting on here?

  • So I've heard......ummm..I, too, am very sorry to hear it and I wish Ronnie all the best and to recover from this.....nevertheless, RJD beleives as he says in clip above, and I respect him for having the guts to come out and say it.

  • Wow, what great insight on those songs!!! Simply amazing...

  • RJD is sick pray for him.

  • I will say this. Being a Christian myself, I totally respect his beliefs. I had to Kringe a little bit when he said he came from the Bill Maher club or so, lol. I also totally respect the fact that he doesn't critisize others for what they believe. Very respectable individual. I have been a Dio fan for over 20 years and will continue to be a die hard fan. It shows that it's whats inside that counts. Not all people are going to believe in the same things. This is what makes us all unique.

  • Actually ronnie is 67 and he looks his age lol. Great man, great vocalist thought!!

  • Holy crap, he never gets aged. Not a single wrinkle!

  • "He made Satan look pretty tame!"

  • Eric Blair: "But you don't wanna burn in hell"

    Dio: "No I don't"

    Blair: No way....

    Dio: .."But i might!"

    LOL! Dio rules

  • it's just his opinion...he doesn't deserve to be called a fuck hole for that.

  • true

  • dio likes playing with his face lol

  • Ronnie be da man.

    \m/....^ ^....\m/

  • The king of rock n roll

  • dio is amazing!!! and I agree with that what he said from 4:05 till 4:50

  • I always assumed Kerry Livgren's motivation was to "convert" RJD when he got him to sing those Christian songs by AD.. RJD says here, "nope. he didn't try to change my views".. Interesting!!

  • The interviewer is a bit weird.

  • kinda sounds like nugent if u dont see it just listen

  • wow funny how u lose ur accent the longer u live in a place but it happens! Listen to dio in the 80's and now today!

  • Dio loves to pat himself on the back

  • he has a right to-i think

  • DIO can and should do whatever he wants. Best pure metal singer of all time in my opinion and still sounds that good today. This guy single handedly put Black Sabbath back on the map. Ozzy was great but Dio is perfection. Long Live Rock and Dio

  • @retributionryan fuckin eh bro

  • he wasnt taking credit for it , he was talking about the lyrics he added to it on the live evil album and at the live shows back when they played the ozzy material since they only had one album at that time. dio added allot of stuff to the ozzy tunes that they performed live .

  • such a gentleman.. DIO is the MAN!

  • Great video my friend. Thanks for posting ,

    Great to see Kerry as a young guy in here with his wife.

    Dave.

  • It doesn't bother me dark lyrics, but if you want happy Dio try his first band Elf, some of the Rainbow, and 'Wishing Well' of the Heaven and Hell album.

  • good interview. i agree he did a great job asking good, relevant questions.

  • i love that song he sings in tenacious d

  • kickapoo?
