Vinny Appice's Goodbye Message to Ronnie James Dio

[joediver1119]

VERY cool. Said from the heart from one friend about another. Classy statement from a very classy man. Nice job Vin.

[YogaArmy]

Vinnie is a total Class Act & true Gentlemen it comes thru over and over. Vivian should be grateful that Ronnie gave him his start. RIP Ronnie

[GRILLBUOY101]

GREAT VINNIE IS GREAT!

[Keepsu]

Vinnie is a real gentleman.

Why did Ronnie hate Vivian Campbell so much?

[95holydiver]

@RONDOC68

Vivan called him a dictator who's really hungry for money and don't care about everything other

[Hister333]

@95holydiver If Dio only cared about money, he wouldn't have turned down the Ozzy tour. To be fair, Vivian ruined every Dio song he played on.

[supahz]

@Hister333 The only true classic Dio solo songs were from the Vivian Campbell era... there were some highlights after, but seriously, only the hardest of the hardcore Dio fans would contest that. Vivian was RJD's best guitarist. It's too bad that they didn't get along better and live happily ever after... could have been another decade of great songs from the two.

Thank you, Vinnie. Ronnie deserved a friend and a drummer like you! You were part of the best DIO line up ever!

[chosenfool]

Vinnie (correct spelling, btw) has always been classy, warm, humble and genuine. You can see the pain in his eyes as he talks about Ronnie. Oh, and he's an absolute wrecking machine behind the kit, too! If only there were more like Vinnie Appice.

[Metalbob011]

Vinny, I amired you greatly. Your one lucky man to have been apart of such a great gifted singer Ronnie James DIO \m/-_-\m/

[chrisz31974]

One of my top 5 favorite drummers

[uofm97]

Vinny is a real, honest humble guy. I wish there was more like him who genuinely appreciate what they have been able to do in their careers. I think a lot of them see it as a right to be a professional musician, not a privilege. Not this guy; Vinny is a class act, all the way.

[bjapathy]

Vinny you said that with heart and soul. Just like Ronnie. Just like your playing. A perfect match.

Inspirational. Cheers.
