  • eh eh eh. Dio is the man. Who play the music, his own band ?

  • @praetorianus72 I think its Ronnie James Dio, Tony Iommi, Rudy Sarzo and Simon Wright. you could just have googled it though.

  • thats one badass looking Santa

  • Ha ha ha ha. Right on. Dio is the man.

  • DAMN I miss that voice!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • I used to hate christmas music... then I heard this. RIP Dio.

  • I believe they used us in our drinking to play this role for them...same as an ARMY eh? Why don't they get up and sing or are they too rich to care?

  • It always amazes me how those who don't know anything about the bible like to quote it and give their take on "religion." If you don't know the bible don't try and argue with those who do. And btw, I don't know if Ronnie is in heaven but he was a good guy and this song rocks.

  • @jrock2264 From the overwhelming lack of evidence for magic kingdoms in the sky or its presiding magic sky fairy, I would say that Ronnie is most likely dead and buried. His music will live on though.

  • To all the peeps bigging up dio, props. to all the fucknuggets rambling on about religion how christianity preaches love and peace, there's bible forums for that. why don't you go and bore each other to death there. clearly none of you have read the bible thoroughly or ever attended a history lesson at school. if there is gonna be a rapture it'll be because one of you "religious" types will have a brain fart and end up launching nukes. leave us that live in the modern world in peace till then. T

  • @ObedientOsterich Leave while you go ahead and hate on Christ? Sorry but I reserve the right to stick around and trouble haters like you.

  • Long Live the Greatest singer of all time Ronnie James Dio may he Rock In Peace for ever

  • I had no idea Ronnie did this. AWESOME!!!!!! BRILLIANT!!!!!!! Was missing him and his awesome voice while listening to Live Evil and Rainbows Anthology last night. R.I.P. Ronnie. God rest your soul. You are missed.

  • Hell yeah!!!! RIP Ronnie James Dio, God rest your soul my brother.

  • Merry X-mas to all us Metalheads..!! \m/

  • Goddamn, I miss this man's voice!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Rest in Peace, Ronnie.

  • This is brilliant, whether you like metal or not.

  • wonder if he's rosting chestnuts now? R.I.P. R.J.D.

  • So fucking awesome!! All hail Ronnie James Dio!! Truly one of the greatest Christmas songs ever!!!

  • r i p rjd

  • Merry Christmas all and may god bless Dio wherever he is now, Merry Christmas

  • God rest ye badass musicians

  • God rest you, Ronnie James Dio.

  • this sounds like heaven and hell. definatly vinnie and iommi!

  • @donaldslingwine agreed 1000% especially Appice. Brutal stuff!!!!

  • Is this River Cuomo?

  • This is Black Sabbath Praising Jesus Christ THE Savior and LORD who would uh thunk it? Tony is crushing Gezzer is Thump'n and Vinnie is well the little Drummer boy... Merry Christmas You Tubers and Praise the KING of KING's JESUS who destoyed Satan's Power... ... ... ..

  • @utubehound69 This isn't Sabbath. Dio and Iommi, yes, but Rudy Sarzo and Simon Wright, not Geezer and Vinnie.

  • @paulsilence My Bad I stand corrected, Thanx Paul for speaking up we all need to point out all things wrong we no of good catch mate

  • @paulsilence I'm a drummer of 32 years. Vinny expert. It's definitely Appice and Iommi. Simon Wright's style doesn't come close. I don't know if it's Geezer but I have a feeling it is.

  • @jivefx @jivefx I don't care what you hear. You're wrong. Look up "We Wish You a Metal Xmas track listing" on Google, and you'll find the personnel listing on this track. Dio-Iommi-Sarzo-Wright.

  • @paulsilence And you're obviously not a musician and an idiot to trust anything written in google. People do make mistakes. The tone and style of guitar and drums are Iommi and Appice. Wright wishes he could play as good as Appice. But i'm not going to argue with somebody that doesn't have an ear nor experience. You don't know what you don't know.

  • @jivefx *sigh* yeah, I picked it up off a random site... No, actually if you look up the details of the CD itself, you'll find the personnel listing. But hey, trust the musician. He can play the drums but he cannot read.

  • @jivefx sorry man, but it's rudy sarzo and simon wright. not vinny appice and geezer butler. i'm not an expert on drum tones, i'll admit that. but in the track listing it credits sarzo/wright, and i'm inclined to believe what's written in the credits.

  • god bless ronnie D we miss you buddy...

  • greatest heavy metal singer ever...

  • Christmas music for the Metal Masses! \m/ \m/

  • does anyone know where i can get tabs? appreicate it!

  • pretty brutal

  • THIS IS FUCKING AWSOME

    (that is all)

  • Mensacylist.... For a smart person you sure say dumb stuff.

  • God Rest ye Ronnie James Dio!

  • R.I.P Dio and Merry Christmas!

  • Dio was truly the King of Kings. Jesus?......well he can just suck it.

  • Kik805. The problem is there is no "proof", there is only faith. Once god calls you,(and he calls out to all men at some point) and you accept that call on faith, then the answers begin to reveal themselves. I know that doesn't make sense but it is the truth. The Holy Spirit Himself begins to work in a person at the point of accepting Christ to make the unknown known. But the first step is up to you.

  • Okay, I'm a metalhead in my day to day life, I don' want to wait untill Christmas to listen to this. I want to burn this onto a mix CD and listen to it every once in a while. It's THAT good

  • ronnie james dio does not comprehend the true reality of these words he is singing. such truth in this song

  • @jxoxrxdxaxnx Ronnie James Dio was loved by millions and not just because he had a god given voice. He was a great guy too. Please do not speak ill of people you do not know. It makes you look really evil.

  • @FICHTNER02 pretty sure ronnie james dio thought a little too highly of himself. he was not a god like he thought he was, yes he had talent. but talent doesn't get you into heaven

  • @jxoxrxdxaxnx You are pretty sure huh? So you didn't know Ronnie. You just assume and label him. You also state your "opinions" about doesn't get you into heaven. By the way, you have no proof that there even is a heaven so once again, your making statements based on your opinions. If there is a heaven, I would say that judging people and labeling them like you just did also does not get you into heaven. You may want to reject what you said. Or just look like a fool.

  • @jxoxrxdxaxnx fuck you

  • @jxoxrxdxaxnx You're right it doesn't, according to the bible if you're a kiddie fiddler like Lot then you get your gods approval and past them golden gates you shall head and you know what, no chance would I want to go there.

  • @jxoxrxdxaxnx I always got the impression he was a nice, down to earth, guy. I also get the impression that you sir, suck. And I have no interest in your heaven.

  • I like Dio, he made this song very good, however, I don't believe in god, not just yet. I would like proof, not a book, evolution is real, there is proof, unlike god. If god forgives all, why is there a need for hell? If god came down out of the sky and said "worship me!" I would be like "so there is a god. Huh" and then I would be the religion of which god came. I am asking valid questions, and giving facts and not attacking anyone, and I request a equally calm answer.

  • @kik805 The fact is these are all questions no man can answer, it's told in the bible. Science and God go hand in hand. Evolution is still just a theory, nothing has been proven, keep that in mind. you can only go so far back with science, there comes a point where you have to ask yourself, "ok everything aside.... where did it all come from?" But God can do whatever he wants, for god there is no "time". Not to mention, do you really feel like nothing but a complex chemical reaction?...

  • @kik805 and that sincerely wasn't meant as an attack lol =D

  • @TheMetalGuy852 m'kay, but to you really believe that we came from two people, Adam and Eve, both white, and there are so many religions, which is the real god, if there is one, not meaning to sound like a douche, but sometimes I do, but please answer the questions

  • @kik805

    Well see Adam and Eve were the first people to be created, not the only people to be created. Also it is never said that they were white,black,orange,purple because it doesent matter what race you are or how you look. Also those renesanse painters didnt really have much models so all the paintings were white.

  • @kik805 Why there are so many religions on the other hand is because when Humans were banished from the garden they lost their connection with god and as the difrent tribes of humanty they all started to develop difrent, each had a difrent language culture and religion (view of the devine power).

  • @kik80 Just take a look around you, the way the man is made, the earth, the universe. its so naive to believe that all these is ..luck???. Even in sex think in what way "it happens" you to fit in your girl, to gives joy to both of ypu, to give birth to a new excistance, and think the way a man is given birth-and countless others are just miracles, so God does excists to me. i am orthodox, i believe in Bible, choose the kind of religion that talks about love and gives your life a purpose

  • @kik805 if he did that then he won't be a god, just another dick who did something big just for self gratification.

  • Who.... Iommi of course !

  • My mom said this was the scariest christmas music she ever heard!

  • @USAgent88 its not scary its beautiful

  • @USAgent88 No she didn't, you made that up to sound cool :)

  • @USAgent88 Tell her its fine - its just The Devils Interval (Google it)

    It's in a lot of church organ music - disharmonic arrangment of notes

  • @skylandmountain will do.

  • @USAgent88 have her check out I declare war's bring the season album, that will scare the shit out of her

  • Amazing. Who played guitar on this?

  • @TAMPORAPANTERA yeah...notice how it sounds exactly like ATOM AND EVIL and BREAKING INTO HEAVEN.

  • mfgyfcghufktfgu ge49rtyoiutlgi

  • wow.... Ronne James Dio made a christmas song sound dark and heavy and was good... DAMN!

  • there will never be another DIO. I feel fortunate to have been part of the world when Ronnie RULED

  • As metal as a christmas song could ever possibly get. Period.

    

  • Dio is rather amazing. I've always loved their music. This song is just so...powerful!

  • I still got tears in my eyes...

  • @hatross69

    If you don't put faith in intelligent design, then you put it in man ...man is proven fallable.

    It's not a coincidence that communism, anarchism, socialism, are all 'ism's that failed - because they're based on the most weak -ism of them all.. humanism.

    If you aren't offended by religion, then you needn't speak against it.

    It sounds more like your offended by the reality that man as a species is weak, so you tear down religion to make man look independent.

    Good luck with that.

  • @hatross69 First, the non-existence of God cannot be proven. One cannot prove a universal negative. Alternatively, the existence of God is provable.

    The concept, design, and intricate details of our world necessitate an intelligent designer!

  • @sweetassuzy How is the existence of God more provable than the non-existence?

  • @hatross69 i will NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER water down the beautiful Gospel just because it offends u....that same Gospel heals people sets the captive free, saves people from an eternal damnation, helps the widow, helps the poor, and sets the prisoner free!!!

  • @hatross69 listen, i would rather be informed with the truth than dig my head in the sand like u! u are so offended at the fact that there is a heaven and there is a hell, your angry with me! .hey mate dont shoot the messenger, im just sending out an invite into Gods kingdom, but u obviously dont want to come...thats fine its your choice....and if u find the gospel disgusting, then be prepared to spend eternity without God, then u will be DISGUSTED! at yourself for rejecting Jesus!... u FOOL!!

  • @hatross69 Jesus is the the only WAY.......There is one way to God, through JESUS! end of discussion :)

  • Comment removed

  • @hatross69 AND fair enough if u dont want to go to heaven....BUT DONT BE SO EVIL AS TO TRY AND STOP OTHERS! just because the GOSPEL OFFENDS U

  • all i know is this...JESUS DIED ON A CROSS 2000 years ago! He died for all humanity, he paid the price, he hung on that cross for u....and im not here telling u that u are going to hell????..im here to let people know that God is not willing that any should perish!... and that all they have to do is accept HIM?...Wouldnt u want to be warned that there is a hell to shun and a heaven to gain???? for me to shut up is far more evil, Jesus said go out into the highways and COMPEL THEM TO COME IN!

  • @hatross69 i never preach religion, Jesus hated it to, who do u think He had most problems with while on planet earth, the self righteous pharisees who didnt have a heart...Gods message is love and kindness and u seriously need to stop over analyzing everything, cause this is a heart thing!

  • @hatross69 just go easy on others????? and what about u going easy on CHRISTIANS?...Heaven is real and so is hell,... 2+2 will always =4 its a TRUTH! ...it will never be 5, u can jump up and down, rant and rave and say it isnt so, but the TRUTH REMAINS???..the thing is im not preaching some exclusive club for some elite group! im sharing that Jesus is alive and well and very much active on planet earth, He simply loves all People every where and wants them saved!....thats the xmas message!

  • @hatross69 i dont claim to know it all? but this one thing i do know, that Jesus came, died for our sins, God loves his creation and everyone is valuable, how is that wrong?..the Gospel will always offend because it is the truth, and anyway your not here forever, so u will find out . but dont try and tell me its my nervous system..what a crock of crap! why are u on this site then, cause this song is all about God? ... dont tell me u actually celebrate xmas?? that would so make u a hypocrite!

  • @hatross69 ok well u dont know what God has done for me, He is alive and well, He answers my prayers, i have seen way too many miracles and obviously u will never understand the bible, cause your spirit man is dead, why would i want to live like u, when i am one highly favoured, highly blessed girl????? and u really are in no position to judge, cause u havent even tasted of what im talking about...until then sorry dude your WRONG!!!!

  • BEST ROCK VOICE EVERRRRRR! :D

  • Dio, man, he left us heavy metal and the devil horn's sign. God bless his or the devil or whoever.

  • Man, when he says, 'comfort and joy', you really believe it...

  • This just so rips! I freaking love this guy...

  • AWSOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • this is way too awesome!!

  • RIP Dio!

  • This is the only Christmas song i feel i can sing without sounding like a fruit cake

  • Guys, are you really having a religious debate on here?

  • @HorenziAndTheAlps i hate religion, oh and so did Jesus!

  • @sweetassuzy Amen! It's true. 

  • @sweetassuzy There's also one called "To Live for the King"

  • @HorenziAndTheAlps Kerry Livgren from Kansas shared his personal faith with RJD. They recorded an album together (or at least a few songs). I tried to attach a You-Tube link for "Mask of the Great Deceiver". Check it out.

  • @lisamarie656 I found the vid, it sounds wicked!

  • Dio makes everything perfect!

  • Es ist mehr Freude im Himmel für ein verlorenes Schaf, denn über 1000 gerechte :)

  • and another thing u are very judgmental , why dont u stop your whining and do something about the people who are alive on planet earth now???? cause action is whats needed? u can rant and rave and tell everyone how concerned u are, but your words are empty and useless and mean nothing cause the truth is u couldnt give a stuff, u just hate God and try and act like your this concerned person? (HA THATS A JOKE) cause the bottom line is mr WHAT ARE U DOING ABOUT IT?????? your a dime a dozen...

  • Comment removed

  • Im an atheist but this song is still amazing! RIP Dio!

  • Why the fuck are people talking about God on this?

  • @zachgilm it is CHRISTMAS and this song is about GOD...geez what planet are u from?

  • It was just a story in a book. Kind of like that "Harry Plotter" series.

  • who cares about all the formalities....the truth is this song is about GODS GRACE TOWARDS YOU???? Jesus died for your sins, so you could have heaven on earth and go to heaven when you die....and its nothing to do with how good you are...it has to do with what Jesus did at Calvary, its A FREE GIFT! and He simply LOVES AND ADORES YOU! AND THATS THE BEAUTIFUL GOOD NEWS...EVERYTHING HAS BEEN PAID FOR!!!!! all you do is accept Him....Merry Xmas U TUBE WORLD AND MAY GOD BLESS YOU xoxooxoxo

  • @sweetassuzy

    And that's why I find Protestant Christianity to be one of the most abhorrent religious concepts on the planet. Not so bad in practice, but in principle.

    You went on a rampage, raping and murdering everyone in your town, then accepted Jesus? Great! Welcome to heaven!

    Oh, you were born in Malaysia in 80 AD and died of malaria when you were 18 despite living a good life, caring for your family and neighbors? Enjoy hell, heathen.

  • @RichardMNixon AND thats what i LOVE about CHRISTIANITY!! ITS NOT WORKS BASED!!..and what was fair about JESUS dying on a cross for all mankind??? .who did nothing wrong at all!...I thank God that anyone can get saved! ....I believe God gives every single human the same opportunities to get saved...Your just upset that its an open invite to all mankind!....Well thats pretty dam selfish of you! ....Gods heart is for every one to go to heaven...seriously HE Does not want anyone to go to hell.

  • @sweetassuzy

    Quite the opposite actually, I'm upset that your claim suggests 1700 years worth of Tibetans went to hell because they were born in the wrong place, a place that didn't have Jesus. Only 1% of Japanese people are Christian. How did god market himself so poorly in Asia? Do Asians deserve salvation less than white people? They certainly get less of it according to you.

  • @RichardMNixon well were u alive back then?...how do u know God didnt send missionaries to preach the TRUTH to them? ...God has thousands of missionaries in Asia right now!!!!!!....and how do u know all those Tibetans went to hell? u cant make such claims, only God knows all hearts..I know this one truth, when u stand before God,  God wont be asking u to give account for anyone else but YOU!...If u really care about the lost souls then i suggest u stop whining and get saved and pray for them.

  • @sweetassuzy

    Because I'm a rational human being and I know the Romans weren't in the business of sending missionaries to Tibet and Polynesia?

    True or false, if you don't accept Jesus, you go to hell? I assure, no 2nd century Tibetans had heard of Jesus.

  • @RichardMNixon well ok say your right? ...the past is gone, we cant change that, but there are plenty of people that need to hear the GOOD NEWS NOW... what about u getting saved and going over to these countries and do something about it! ....people need to do less finger pointing cause there are 3 always pointed back when u do that! and get off your high horse of OFENCE and get these people saved? ..The past is the past, and cant be changed...BUT THE FUTURE CAN BE CHANGED! JUST DO IT!!! OK

  • @sweetassuzy

    If your god just left all those people to burn in hell forever because they were born in the wrong place and time, then you have the most evil god conceived in human history. Go fuck your god. I want nothing to do with such a horrible monster.

  • @RichardMNixon oh what a cop out! ...u are just one of those people who make excuses for everything!. what a WEAKLING U ARE !!!!!!!!....God is not the monster, by the sounds of your mouth and heart u sound and look more like a monster than anyone...TAKE A LOOK IN THE MIRROR!!!

  • @sweetassuzy

    I'm a weakling because I examine things critically, consequences included? Would I be stronger if I just blindly kissed Jehovah's ass as you do?

    I'm deeply concerned that you feel my objection to billions of people suffering for eternity is a cop-out. What makes you so much better than those suffering billions? How can you be so callous?

  • @RichardMNixon God is the equal opportunity God, everyone has a free will, God will not go against that free will, so u can choose to go to hell if u wish, just like all the others..but i would say your a Fool... AND IM DEEPLY CONCERNED THAT U ARE ONLY CONCERNED ABOUT DEAD PEOPLE WHO HAVE MADE THEIR CHOICES!!!! WHAT ABOUT ALL THE PEOPLE ALIVE NOW, THAT NEED TO KNOW THE TRUTH..if u truly were concerned u would want to warn them not to go there! HOW CAN U BE SO CALLOUS???????

  • @sweetassuzy

    No, they didn't have a choice. You can't choose to worship someone you've never heard of. Those Tibetans had absolutely no chance.

    According to your mythology, the dead aren't just dead, they're suffering in painful torture for eternity. They've been suffering in hell for longer than you've been alive, why should I not be concerned for them? I'm not a pious, callous, self-righteous, god-entitled ethnocentrist, so I have some concern for other people.

  • @RichardMNixon um yes they did have a choice? ...the Bible says that the HEAVENS DO DECLARE THE GLORY OF GOD AND MEN ARE WITH OUT EXCUSE...BECAUSE GOD HAS PLANTED ETERNITY IN MENS HEARTS..the truth is your mad at God because it seems unfair to u..Tell me mr JUDGER are u responsible that they are in hell????/ well stop blaming me for crying out loud, i can only warn people in my life time, LIKE IM DOING TO U NOW? but your choice is to refuse it!!!!....

  • @RichardMNixon God did not make hell for man, man goes there as an intruder! God sent Jesus to save us? but some people dont want to be saved? like u for example, but one day when u stand before Him u will be without excuse, cause u were told the good news and u seem to think u know more than THE CREATOR OF THE UNIVERSE....:) merry xmas

  • @RichardMNixon if u are rational, then u wouldnt be arguing about stuff that is in the past...and besides where are u planning to spend your eternal retirement? ...... thats a no 1 priority for u to seriously think about?????

  • R.I.P RONNIE ,,THE BAND DIO RULEZ

  • @MultiRaiha --a star that shines twice as bright -lives half as long -a thought for all that desiser ....to shine ..just the history of it all -stars explode - supernova time -but always leave their trace in the universe !-something to realise , the mortal coil of life ! :)) peace bro ! ...gus

  • it's the comfort and the the fucking joy.. remember i was born dio mas day!!

  • To settle this dispute of when the winter solstice is recognized on our annual calender, please note Dec 21. This date should be obvious to those who practice the religion of paganism.

  • its not 25 of december its the 21 and its called jól in iceland and yes i am pagan

  • would i know that 25 of desember is a pagan celebration im actualli a pagan

  • R.I.P \,,/

  • DIO is GOD! Let us praise His name!

  • God rest his soul. DIO will live on forever! \m/

  • This is too much. Totally kick ass. \../ \../

  • Ronnie, get well!!Ever notice that Dio is not only the best singer in Metal, he's got more common sense and basic decency that Ozzy and a lot of other Metal frontmen

    Dio doesn't get arrested for pissing on things, crashing cars or otherwise behave like an idiot.
