i loved vivian with dio, he suited him best, holy diver is a killer album, and last in line and sacred heart, after reading interviews vivian seemed not to like the style of music he did with dio, or any heavy music at all, i think this is bullshit, he suits this stuff well,
@jmbarrera91 well He is a God among few..... don,t forget Rob Halford, Bruce Dickinson, and a few others.... DIO WILL ALWAYS BE KING that is a fact.....KING OF ROCK!!!!!!!!!
Have had some trouble with my bloody interent connection so It's been ages before I could finnaly show my appreciation to this amazing man. Dio opened my eyes to more music and expanded my tastes, he will never EVER be forgotten and will live forever in all of us.
Oh my god Dio was so awesome. A true rock god. BADASS!!! I am heartbroken. I can't believe he's gone. I love you Dio and I'm gonna miss you. RIP!!!! Here's to you.... HORNS UP!!!!
Oh my god! Dio was so awesome! He was a true rock god. BADASS!!!!! I love Dio and have been a die hard fan for most of my life. I am heartbroken! I can't believe he's gone. I love you Dio and I'm Gonna miss you. RIP!!! HORNS UP!!!!!!!
Do not shut the most beautiful voice of Metal! Dio is doing an awesome sound with the angels and their harps distorted, touching the Lord's Heavy Metal! ARMANDO BANDEIRA
Dio not only wrote the book on metal, he discovered the elixir known as The Metal locked away by the Gods as they were envious of mortals gaining their power but Dio searched high and low on his dragon steed and thus found it and spread it far and wide for all to taste.
but think of the many people who play better than pert (almost any modern metal band), he was just big in the 60's or whatever decade grandpa arthritis hands was from
@HorrorAngel666 u mean he was big in the early 70s, 80s, 90s and is STILL known as arguably the best drummer of all time. The ones that modern metal drummers WORSHIP to this day. If that's what you mean then i completely agree with you.
This is a great song, but I'm not sure that this rip is of the best quality. It may just be me, but does anyone else think that this recording somehow vaguely fails to convey the energy level of Dio's performance? Thanks for posting the DVD rip! Great song! :)
VIVIAN is da muthafuckin man!!!!!! to bad he is doing that shit ass music now! but he was the best DIO ever had (stylewise)!!!! come back home VIV!!!!
You got that right! Just got through busting this song through my Mark IV earlier tonight. This riff, along with the bassline, makes me want to punch somebody's face in...and I'm not a violent guy! You can't help but bang your head to this one.
DIO's voice is Epic, Vivian was Hungry, all the elements which were combined give the overall song that timeless Quality that lacks in alot of music, from yesterday and today. Although I haven't heard it a million times like DIO, Nevermore "This Godless Endeavor" has that ethereal Epic quality.
One more observation, Vivian's style sounded more heavily influenced by Blackmore, had those Rainbowesque riffs earlier on, Awesome, Def Lepturd...score= posers=1 metalheads=0 :( bye Vivian
You do realize Heaven ~n~ Hell are going to do a full length studio recording of new material. I fear that a solo Dio CD will not be in the offering for awhile.
tell me again why vivian and dio split!? stupidest fucking career move EVER, for BOTH of them! pisses me off! they could have been GREAT!! oh well, ozzy and randy only lasted for two albums, too...
Blame Vivian for that. He's the one who wanted to go soft and play for Whitesnake and write "love songs." Dio (the band) really wasn't the same without Vivian, although Dream Evil (Goldy) and Lock up the wolves (Robertson) were pretty decent efforts. Dio's recent efforts, save for Magica, were sub-par to say the least.
I agree Dio has a more potencial voice, but Ozzy is Ozzy! Actually Ozzy is the REAL singer of Black Sabbath so that if you listen some songs of Ozzy's era sung by Dio, you can notice the difference and I think it's better Ozzy.
I'm not saying Dio is a git, actually he's a god, but I prefer Ozzy in Sabbath
both are amazing men, but you are right, ozzy is ozzy and he is black sabbath, aways has aways will. this is one sexy tune, i am a chic and i don't even need the vid to get turned on!
This is def. back around '84 or '85 Dio on the "Last In Line" tour, back in early part of RJD's solo stuff his voice was just incredible, talent beyond description. Its too bad the relations between Ronnie and Vivian didn't work back then.
Solechnaya. Sorry i made a mistake originally. The dvd goes by Stand Up And Shout at Netflix dvd rentals but the dvd is titled We Rock and you can get it at Amazon or Dvd Pacific or many online stores like that.
STRAIGHT THROUGH THE HEART!!!!!
good god, it's amazing, long live Dio!
