ronald padavona (dio) was the frank sinatra of rock, his career was close to 50 years
i very much would like to see some kind of (tribute) to him on one of those (talent)shows on tv, but that will likely not happen because ron (was a true talent)and they can't allow that on those show's, just look at steven tyler, he sold out, and he can't even come close to ron dio
Ronnie had an incredible voice from the day he began in the music industry, and left us... He always made his performances epic. The other thing that makes this performance epic is how Doug Aldrich keeps the approach to guitar true to the original Ritchie Blackmore style.
Whoever dislikes this video will, with a right click of the mouse, descend through the earth and become encased in the depths of a fiery hell......and they'll get to meet Winger :D
They play it in such a low key! Much more the Dio-key. Seems Dio was more proud of his Rainbow years than Blackmore. I like Blackmore's music but I think he went for the cash more than for the music after Ronnie left Rainbow
@girlie347 I guess your band really rocks!; if only you could have given Ronnie some of your valuable insights he could have been a super-star, but alas we will never know :(
This song is 36 years old, so what it really is, is folk music for the 21st century. Don't be too hard on young musicians - rock and roll got started over half a century ago, so how much room is left on the canvas? How many colors on the palette? Remember...a lull like this is sometimes when genius asserts itself...how good was pop in 1962? Keep the faith...
This rendition is fucking unreal. I had no idea this song could sound so badass and heavy. Same thing with all of the Rainbow songs in this live show. I mean, I like the lighter blues feel of the studio recordings too, but these renditions are just killer.
@Comradez Yeah..it's not bad at all...in fact...if it's Ronnie...ANY time is perfect. This sounds like it's in 1-2. I like the versiions where it's picked up to 3/4 or even 4/4 time. But not TOO fast. Except WE ROCK. WE ROCK is the perfect prototype to Speed Metal. That song can never be played too fast.
@MrEODTEK Just to point out, time sigs like 2/2 and 3/4 and 4/4 don't indicate speed. This sounds like it's in 4/4 which is pretty standard for most music, especially rock.
Speed is usually measured in bpm (beats per minute). The more bpm the faster the song is.
In relation to the song, I think I prefer this version to the actual studio version. Long live Dio! :D
Some people think this sort of music is not of God - but look at the guys in this video - all wearing crosses. I used to love music like this and really enjoyed finding a heavy metal Christian band.
Really looking forward to hearing more of their music.
We can reach out for Jesus to everyone through all forms of entertainment :-)
Anyone notice that some other live versions of this song is played faster? I prefer the pace that this one is being played. Its meant to be played this way.
It's great to hear this song at the right speed -- I've heard it so many times speeded up and it loses its drive and power --------- Great version here...
Ah...I kinda hate my generation of music. I wish the music today had the same...feeling, and the passion. People my age look at me funny for listening to this...I look at them funny for listening to that crap they call music. Long live Hard rock. RIP DIO
@ninjakore2 You're not the only 1 who feels that way about modern rock/music, 18 year old here, I blast Whitesnake and Dio etc at people to show them they suck :p
same here i'm 15 :D and i don't det why almost everyone of my generation is listening to this crappy stuff everyone can do with a good computer ! DIO is real music ! horns up \m/
@JJTheGuitarDoctor Fucking right man. i grew up with this shit...if you waltz around in a Dio shirt and people ask who that is or pronounce his name wrong...you laugh because theyll never know!! long live metal in every one of us!!
@ninjakore2 There's still good stuff today, you just have to dig deeper. There's still great metal bands like Black Label Society, Shrinebuilder or even siqq xD
Crank this up on a great system till your ears bleed. The only way to do this tune the justice it so richly deserves,(save actually having heard it in concert).
dio was the best rainbow singer of the lot its a shame he didnt stay with blackmore in the band they would have just got better and better because ronnie never lost his voice one of the best rock singers ive ever heard if u get the chance buy rainbow live in munich 1977 ronnie owns the crowd he has them eating out of his hand a true legend god bless him
@shredmaster100 ... and it's great to hear this song at the right speed -- I've heard it so many times speeded up and it loses its drive and power ----------- great version here...
