This video actually exists? I woke up at about 4AM the other day and it was playing on VH1 Classic. I thought I was dreaming. I had no idea there was a video for this song. R.I.P. Ronnie James Dio.
What an epic album and an epic song. This is my fave alongside All The Fools Sailed Away. I do enjoy his most recent albums but I wish he could truly capture the power of his early releases.
Is that really you on that bed, I love the video anyway, you should be happy because you are in the mist of some hunks, and Vinny is the main hunk of all.
haha Im the little girl in this video! i remember that day being a bit freaky, with wolves and rockers everywhere. That image became the dream evil album cover too, how cool!
I agree with you ,alex about silent Lucidity.. Maybe youistened moreclosely to the song.... you'd realize that there are wiccan/ strege/ Hetahen imagery symbols in it...wolf pack is one of them
For sixslynger: Jimmy Bain-bass, Vinnie Appice-drums, & Claude Schnell-keys. Goldy & Schnell r from Rough Cutt. This is Dream Evil '87 & Simon joind 4 Lock Up The Wolves in '90. Check wikipedia or the liner notes. METAL RULES!!! ROCK AND ROLL 4EVER, BABY!!!
There are thousands of good singers out there but Dio has captured rock n roll -metal and handed it to us as it should be!! nothing short of brilliant!!! EVERY TIME
Dio's lyrics and the symphonic elements of the video elicit deep emotions. From the stacatto inflections of lead guitarist Craig Goldy, to the driving, yet complementary bass of Rudy Sarzo, and the excellent timing of drummer Simon Wright, supported by the hypnotic melody of keyboardist Scott Warren, Dio carries his audience along on a bittersweet lamentation of lost opportunity. Nevertheless, Dio leaves the listener with a sense of hope, for "Dreamers never die!"
alexnevsky88 you watched and you didnt like it well how about you go to the upper right hand corner of your computer and click the read x button and fuck off nobody forces you to watch it
FUCK!!! Dio is the greatest man in metal!! He did everything... the best voice, the best album (Holy Diver), the greatest song I've heard: Rainbow in the dark. Metal can't be metal without him.
Well, Ive never liked it so much. Namesong, this one and All The Fools Sailed Away are only really good ones. Other material has never impressed me. Maybe too popish sound. Still over all would be about 8/10. That points out how good material Dio has done, and of course, if you compare this to first three albums (which were all true classics), its a drop, but its really understandable.
IM GOIN to go see black sabbath featuring dio in chicago this august. they are doing the heaven and hell tour. in 81 i was in 10th grade. wanted to see that show so bad. who would have thought id get too. 27 yrs later. judas is headlining. motor head and testamnent are on the bill also. whoooooooooo hoooooooooooo
DIO,s voice and presence is a really glamour and his music is a light pleasure given away for our souls.R.J.DIO was,is and he will be always THE BEST!Long live R.J.DIO,the METAL KING!
dio is a genius artist his work is truly something difrent, always has been something amasing. i love him he revolutionised alott, showed other darkness's and beautys of metal, or rock in general for that matter, this song is amasing
haha I'm the little girl in this video and Ive never seen it until today. Thanks Youtubers. I still remember that day, I was terrified of the wolves, but Dio was small and awesome.
R.I.P We loved you so much Dio .
