goldy always plays this song differently. i don't know if he wants to put his spin on it or what but he is an awesome guitar player and a great guy. RIP RJD
@tankjordan Do you even know what that means, or are you just spouting out recycled terms you heard fanatics use at church? Do you even know what you believe in> What is god, tell me. I heard he put dinosaur fossils here to test our faith. hahahaha
@Smithfieldis the riff and parts of the song was written by Blackmore in Deep Purple but he never wanted to use it with them according to his imminent departure.
Not a fan of the guitar tone Craig Goldy used there....a bit chunky. The keyboard before the chorus was a bit too loud too, just overpowered everything.
who is the guitar player ?? Sounds like he was recruted from a bad garage band. Especially after having Vivian Cambell & Doug Aldrich.........what s the deal with this guy ???
@rayjr62 Yeah, let us put faith in the flying spaghetti monster to save Ronnie's soul by baking him housewarming dishes for his arrival in the jubilant afterlife!
Dio's band had change that great song from classic rock to resemblance of black metal))) But it's cool))) Ronnie voice is still nice! But his secret is falling of tone ;)
@Rustyshackleford08 You are correct,kind of throws the whole song off a bit. Comes a time when age does take effect on the voice. He was still great till the end.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
This guy has sold himself out. Hes too fuckin old and ugly now. His voice in in shambles. Hell his music couldnt even relate to teens when they were trying to fit in. It was all about fantasy for him. Rock and Roll is all about reality man.
He's old, yet he can hit the notes, stay in key, and pretty much keep the original voice that made him famous, even if he can't use it QUITE as well as he used to.
But the term "selling out" doesn't relate to ANY of what you said.
we heaven and hell dio sounds great his vocals are great and with this he voice is ok but the band christ they all need to b fired apart from scott and simeon those two are still great
Goldy sucks badly. Sounds like he's struggling to play it and can barely do it. The other band members for the Dio band have always pretty much sucked except for Dio of course. Be awesome if he could get Tony Iommi to be his guitar player for his solo work. That'd be badass.
I'd love to hear Tony play some Dio songs like Holy Diver and maybe Gates of Babylon.
blacksabbbath2007-- ive been looking for 30 minutes for a decent version of this song (prefereably not live) to save to a playlist...still looking, unfortunately. one fucking star- its not even the 1/2 the song.
I just listened to the rock palace version and now this? OMG! This is absolutely horrible. I knew it'd be detuned for Dio's lower voice these days but the guitarist? and the speed? oh man. Some things should just die off. Watching this is like watching a 90 year old trying to still drive after they can't see anymore and have no reflexes. DIO! Please retire and quit making a mockery of your greatness!
You are being harsh mate, his band sucks dick God knows why he picked them...... particulary that excuse for a guitarist he is piss poor theres no too ways about it. Seen Dio with Sabbath and on his solo tour in recent years and after a bit of warming up his voice was BRILLIANT.
....for god's sake...don't ever let that clown of a guitarist back in your band Dio!!! Thats the worst ever version I've heard. Nobody could say that was a good performance...and if you do your tone deaf! Doug Aldrich is a million times better than that guy, he should be in a cheap cover band!
I agree, I have the sacred heart live dvd from I believe 1986 and goldy is capable of playing it faster and better, he was just trying something different and it sucked. but I do like like the tone he is getting out of that b.c. rich and amps.
damn...ronnie's gotta drag vivian's ass out of def leppard and kick out this slow boring ass guitarist hes ruining ritchie's riff!! theres nothing wrong wit ronnie just the friggin band jesus christ! a garage band can do better than this!
OMFG this sux so bad - so this is what Ronnie James Dio has become today? Guys - check out the 1984/85 version of Man on the Silver Mountain live; it kicks ass!
I don't know. He looks like he's doing pretty great for someone who is 66 years old. Hey man, what do you think you're going to be capable of when you're 66?
