1945, Adolf Hilter died and went to Hell. Satan asked, "why are you in Hell?" He replied, "I am responsible for the massacre of millions" Satan said, "well done, sit to the right of my throne." 1953, Joseph Stalin died and went to Hell. Satan asked, "why are you in Hell?" He replied "I killed millions to stay in power" Satan said "good, sit to my left" 2010, Ronnie James Dio died and went to Hell, Satan asked, "why are you in Hell?" Dio replied, "Bitch, get the fuck off my throne!"
Now THIS is a singer.... I am JUST NOW finding out about this song.... wow....and this is LIVE!! My band is doing Neon Knights... I hope DIO smiles upon me....even just a little bit.
@tiouchful Please feel free to check out my friends list or Japiedio's for our DIO friends. We all get along quite well. Feel free to join us in celebrating the man and his music.
Such a cool main riff, and unusual too, with the major third sound (the 6th note in that riff is what stands out with that sound). Thanks for the awesome music as usual, Ronnie!
Heard this years ago from DIOJACK? I think. Its better than the album version IMO; very powerful. I only got to see Dio once in 80's (Dream Evil tour with Megadeth and Savatage); a regret but at least we still have all the great music and videos.
I love the double meaning in these lyrics... on the one hand it's about the romance between Eriel and Annica in the story of Magica, and on the other hand it's about Dio's style of writing songs. He left Rainbow because he didn't want to sing about love affairs. But with the last sentence of this song, he shows what his lyrics are all about... "cause maybe it's all about love!"
I cannot help myself. It is no wonder I always I continue to visit this video and that I have it in my favorites. Japiedio ? You rawk. I have been having a hard time wanting to listen to any music at all since Ronnie's passing ... This video helps more than you will ever know. Thank you ...
Dio really was a 1 of a kind singer and a 1 of a kind person.. this is a more easy song like the songs catch the rainbow and rainbow eyes. Dio is awesome no one could ever touch him. HES THE KING! \m/
First time I have heard this song! Wow Fantastic. He sounds better than back in the 'Elf days! Still hard to get my mind wrapped around the fact Ronnie is gone. Thx 4 sharing.
I just can't find any other vocalist to match Ronnie! He was, is and always will be The Legend of Heavy Metal! The inventor of Devil Horns. And ofcourse an amazing person!
Long live the King!
I wish kids those days would listen to great 70s 80s music, not that bullshit which they play on a radio nowdays!
@Wajlonis ...I totally agree with your comment! Ronnie James Dio IS definitely the greatest rock vocalist that ever stood on the surface of the planet!!!
Wow.....This was one of the first Internet webcast concerts...And its such a special show if you happen to be a Dio fan...Just a magnificent performance with substandard equipment....Dio performing at the lowest point of his career, yet bringing the most incredibly emotional music forth...Its difficult to watch on many levels....Magnificent...Irving Plaza..unfortgettable
Dio is nearly 70 years old, so it's about time for him to retire anyway. I'm amazed that he continues to sing - and with such a great voice - but it must come to an end sooner or later. He is still immortal through his music...
Dio forever! He sits on the throne of Valhalla with his goblet of wine held high saluting his followers.
I heard about his bout with cancer from IMDB and I send all my best wishes and prayers to him and his family. I know he will survive, his work on this world is not yet done!!!
sadly is not a rumour, is something confirmed for his own manager, but the good thing in all this, is that this cancer is in an early stage, so i'm sure ronnie will give a good battle. Slay the dragon ronnie!!
Its unfortunately true. But his official site claims that it was caught in the early stages and that he is geting the best possible treatment at the Mayo clinic.
Ronnie is a fighter so I expect nothing less than afull recovery.
For those who hasn't heard about Dio having stomach cancer, I tell you about it cause I think we all should pray for him, we must not loose such an amazing talent, it would terrible even more if we consider that he's going through a great period as an artist and enjoying playing with he's band Dio and the revival of the lineup he always loved Dio, Buttler, Iommi and Appice. God bless him.
It doesn't matter which version of this song I hear, he breaks my heart every time!!! I wonder who he's singing it about? He was divorced from his second wife long before Magica was released. How could you not love him?
I stood outside, unable to get in! A pal was supposed to have tix, didn't know until I got there that this wasn't the case. PISSED I missed this show. Fuck. This album is easily his best ever.
Dio and Craig Goldy - what a combo. Craig personifies the look and sound of the 80's type guitarist - so many great shredders back then. He first appeared in Guiffria I believed - and Dio - the master, words can't describe. That melodic range, pitch, etc.. set the tone and raised the bar for all vocalists. At times on some songs it almost sounds like he's harmonizing with himself - hard to explain but he simply stands out whenever you hear anything from him from any era. never replicated
Speaking of Magica,wouldn't that premise make a great make for a great screenplay to make a movie around?I always thought so anyway.
Imagine that.I come here and here you are as well as DioGirl and Diopriest.The only one we are missing is DiosGuardian2.Heh,I'll send him over today.He has to see these great clips.
Dio will never die.
