Last year the rap metal group RATM won the (UK) Christmas 2010 single. The victory was to get the message out that true fans of music were tired of being spoon fed the same coperate pop music over and over again. This year in order to honor a true rock legend we will all be purchasing Ronnie James Dio's single Holy Diver to promote real music and honor one of the world's most talented vocalists. RIP Ronnie.
I am a metal fan.. I am young so I tend to like the new modern stuff, especially Killswitch and what not. But I KNOW when to respect the true pioneers.
Great tune, Vinnie is a blast to listen to. A classic Dio/Campbell arrangement. I think a testament to Dio's greatness is his ability to make great music with whom ever he works with. Holy Diver, Last in Line, Mob Rules, Kill the King, Between Two Hearts... I saw Dio with Twisted Sister one summer, pretty sure it was this line up. Dee Snyder said 426 cuss words during their set. The guy did more talking than singing. Dio sounds just as good live.
i listne to both versio nofthis the orignal by di oand the cover by killswitch ingage and its funny all the commets are the same all u gotta do is change the band names
DIO IS.. BY FAR THE GOD OF METAL. i admit killswitch's version is good but in there own way. no one can compare with ronnie james. love this song long live the king
omg what is up with people saying kill switch is better than dio, lets get this fkn straight if u like old metal then go with dio and if u like new metal then go with kill switch GEEEEEEZ
killswitch engage my snow white ass! Dio all the way man just hear the original songs of KE and you'll realize that Dio or any heavy metal band is waaaaaaaaay better than killswitch en-gay-ge :D
This is Ronnie James Dio, and it's his first Solo Album's title track.
Bought this album in 9th grade, and the store guy told me I should get the used Mob Rules he had laying around for an extra $4 or $5. I've worshiped the man ever since.
personally, i prefer killswitch engages cover of this ong, not taking anything off of dio he rocked lol, but yea like i say i prefer killswitch engages version
youre right, he hasnt got the best command of the english language, but he raises a fair point, kse kick ass and their version of this is nothing short of epic!
almost everything theyve done since jessie left has been a fucking joke. they used to have a point, a message, a purpose. now they fuck off onstage and sing about girlfriends and shit. it fuckin pisses me off.
VERY NICE !!!!!
RIP DIO

Now metal is so much heavier so you really can't compare the two versions.

The solo in this version is pretty sick though!
