"Hope without the Fear. We. Are. Coming...HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOME!!!!!!!!!!!!" is still one of the most memorable verses in heavy metal, even more than a quarter-century later.
You done good, Ronnie James Dio. You've earned your Peace. ||m|| ||m|| The rest of us are off to the Witch...
I saw this video only once on TV nearly thirty years ago, but I still remember it vividly. I attribute my fear of elevators to it (along with that one scene in "The Shining").
Dio was so metal he just comes out of nowhere to hit that guy in the balls with a lightsaber at 3:17 and when he gets arrested, he just continues to sing like its no biggie.
Oh....Sorry....I tend to write 'lol' a lot...Especially when it's an awkward situation...Plus , when people write 'lol' they don't actually ever laugh out loud....
@TheTimeforrock i would believe its him but the only thing i could say is that this came out in 84 and james didnt have his facial hair grown out until the late 80's unless that was fake facial hair
yeah buddy thats right ronnie james body pass away,.,., but his spirit, and music lives inside of every heavy metal heart like mine,.,.,., i saw dio in concert in the houston music hall,., if am not wrong with the dates was on november 88,.,.,.,.,. nice, and loudly concert
Shit all you guy's sound like a bunch of middle school girl's bickering.I say you should meet somewhere and punch and kick each other in you'r fat pussies!!
This gets my vote as best music video in history. Idunno if it's supposed to mean something, the only resounding theme in the video seems to be pain and torture, and the lyrics don't seem to mean anything.. but dammit, Dio is just so bad ass!
@capricornBMX ok im looking for a fight ive already got your mind but im looking at recycling your soul it looks like shit i dont think its worth it but who knows we will see good luck dumb ass
wow that didnt age well !...though i remember even back then thinking ...they have no idea whayt a metal head looks like ! always the 'lil vest and the big earring and BIG curly hair...the song itself is great though.
@JeffWatersRules "this shit"? Dio is a amazing and I have thought that way since I first heard once of his songs in the early 2000's at a young age. However, I do like your nickname since Jeff Waters kicks major ass at guitar.
watching a dinoclip like that today, u realize how things changed . nowadays, a nice ass is enough, with a genius to fix shit singers' voice, damn hard work and computer miracles to hide under nice images a poor performer. listen dio,what A talent, even in a cheap and poor video like that, he shines, rip dio, we miss you, teach angels in heaven to sing and play and lead a band up there...
@capricornBMX Relax dude, Dio meant so much to a lot of people, Confucius once said "Death is the state in wich a person keeps on living only in the memory of others, therefore it's not the end" that's what people mean when they say that he's not "dead", yes his body is dead, but his metal spirit lives within each and everyone of us! if that sounds stupid or corny to you, that's your opinion and you are entitled to it, but please don't shun others for theirs.
When the music mattered more than the video, when rock stars were ugly but got insanely laid anyway because they kicked severe ass. Before 'party like a rock star' became a catch phrase for douchey, here-today-gone-tomorrow wanker trendsters listening to unoriginal, half-ass, corporate hip pop.
dio dies and goes to hell and says to satan, ''woah woah woah! bitch what are you doing on my throne?. (satan): ''S-s-sorry i i i was just protecting it for you'', (Dio), ''Hahahaha you are pathetic, are you trying to insult me satan''? (satan) '' I am very sorry Dio, i i i will just go away now the throne is all yours. (Dio), ''Good piss off satan never bother me again''.
Today's special offer is a used Lady Gaga AND a clean, unused Justin Bieber for the whopping price of only ONE Ronnie James Dio! That's right, trade our 2 *cough* most valued artists for only ONE Dio
-But wait!-
If you bring back Dio within the next 30 minutes, you also get a FREE complete and PURE set of the Jonas Brothers with it!
Jesus,I forgot how much he could rock!Iam gettin old.Isaw him 3 times Dayton hara arena and cinti.gardens and in cinti. at riverbend. Twisted Sister opened for him in Dayton.
Anyway, I'm talking to my brothers and sisters in Metal now. RJ Padavona is the single most influential metal vocalist to have ever walked this Earth. I'm grateful that I heard his songs and will forever be indebted to him for his invaluable contributions to the metal scene. I'm going to support his humanitarian causes because it's awesome and I sincerely more musicians can follow in his footsteps. \m/
My friend said I should listen to Dio and I said sure, I listened to this... and first I was like "WTF!!!!!!" Then the guitar came in and I was like, "Hell yeah!"
I got the Honor of seeing Dio in Houston Texas in 1984 The Last in line Tour, Y&T was the opening Band,It was a Badass Concert,I remember that 3 headed Serpent came out of the Pyramid during this song with lazers shooting out of their eyes.I will never forget it. R.I.P Ronnie James Dio
