Rainbow - Man On The Silver Mountain (1975)

[JuggernautOnslaught]

thank you for singing this Mr. Ronnie James Dio!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[muzicfrst]

do U really understand,,,,,,that yes U r that man?



[pendit01]

Most songs that you listen to, you wait for that "good" part. This song kicks ass from the first note. The only thing that sucks about this song is that it ends.

[gothicroses660]

@pendit01

HELL YEA I AGREE

[TheWitchOvAgnesi]

Would have loved to have heard Bonnet sing this. Alas, the timing.

[killerklown52]

Little known fact: The cover art was made from the band's pubes

[Leprechraun]

@killerklown52

you got to be kidding me

[JustMe111094]

@killerklown52 poor artist who arranged all this hair : )



[GoochiObattle]

sounds like the new man on the silver mountain (RIP Dio)

[guitarttimman]

KEY WORD: CREATIVITY!

[TheChowdaman]

Ate dinner with Dio back n 85. His band came into the cafeteria I worked at. Did not recognize him at first, was not aware he was so short. While on break I passed him on the way to the break room and commented 'you look like Dio'. He replied "I am". I almost dropped my dinner. He invited me to sit down and have my break with him. Dinner with Dio. Cannot beat that. True story.

[TheWitchOvAgnesi]

@TheChowdaman Golly, I wish I could call bullshit on you, but who could make up a story like that?

[TheChowdaman]

@TheWitchOvAgnesi I know, right? Really classy dude. Was a casual fan before meeting him. But became a rabid fan on count of his down to earth persona. Witty and funny fella. When we conversed we touched on the controversy over so-call 'back masking'. I suggested he put a back mask on a song saying 'your breaking your needle'. He seemed to like the idea. Don't think he did it. LP's were on the way out anyway. Would be a hoot though.

[TheWitchOvAgnesi]

@TheChowdaman LOL that's a funny idea!

He really was a true gentleman,

[Ultrabrut1]

How many times have I driven 90 mph to this tune! This is the Real Deal! R.I.P. Ronnie James Dio.

[kimberlyrae1969]

Hell yeah...I love the man on the silver f'ing mountain.....

[resqfireman]

@m0zane Just love the guys work and attitude towards his fans. A class act all the way with the voice from hell!!! I wish that I had been able to see Heaven and Hell with him, Iommi, Butler and Appice. RIP Ronnie. Hope to meet you one day...

[warlord1962]

this song is from ritchie Blacmore's Rainbow not from the album long live rock and roll

but u probably already knew that

[trippy119]

a little man with a massive voice!! fucking legend!

[MrHerderp]

@trippy119 hes not a legend... hes a motherfucking god

[rrbrown813]

Dio rule(d)z.

[MoonlightWhisperer]

................and what a loss of talent that both aren't around now. Wish I'd seen Dio's Sabbath, but saw Freddy close up in '82; a life changing experience. Both were true performers and encapsulated the very best of British and American rock. :)

[MrTwatmasterfleX]

@m0zane This is just my opinion but I think Freddy Mercury was the only one who could hang with Dio voice wise. Not to take anything away from Dio but Mercury was just as good

[KhanCicero]

@MrTwatmasterfleX Dio is the best metal voice, single handed.

But Fred Mercury had the best voice of them all.

As he said in his last song, Dio is Metal

[whitewraithe]

It's a shame that don't produce music like this anymore with great powerful vocals and talented musicians. Music used to mean something back then. It inspired dreams and hopes for the future. Music today sucks IMHO - no offense to the younger generation.

[taffard]

Return If Possible, Dio.

[me0rocks]

We will miss you Ronnie

Rest in Peace

[EmilBlueLime]

Heart felt words I like when he says "with eyes that see inside you" I have that same stair... : ) < my eyes lol

[andrewh817]

Real classic rock that doesn't get nearly the attention it deserves. Dio's legacy will never die.

[Omcsesz]

@andrewh817 Thank God, thats right. He will live forever.

[rebels157]

@Omcsesz you know-fuck anybody who doesnt like it-and the same goes to the people out there, that they think ALL good muscians are quote evil. heaven and hell&unholy diver-is right up there. in fact thoes two songs are to be played at my eulogy. hopefully long into the future.

[Omcsesz]

@rebels157 I'm sorry, I said Thank God, that he wont be forgotten.

[EmilBlueLime]

I dint know that "Devil Horns" is a peace simble lol excuse my terible typo style writing lol : D

[rebelcolonist]

hey rjd be cool

[bclayton13]

Epic.

[KillzoneV3]

my dad used to listen to this when i was 5-7 years old(he still does in fact)... so many fuckin memories that come with this song... it has grown to be one of my favorite songs ever :)

[Zerberus27]

One of the greatest have left us!

Dio you were the best and most charismatic person i've ever seen on stage.

Rest in Peace!!!

[mjsmcd]

[9hoser]

When I was 14 I got my first stereo. It had, 8-Track Player, cassett Player and a turn table on it, and this thing called F.M. I was working the dial and came across 102.5 K.S.F.M. EarthMusic..This song was Playing and I got hooked. No More Pop Music for me. The rest is history.. Rock on Ronnie!!!!!

[TSunce]

I must agree with motrhed31, I am from Dalmacija - mediterranian part of Croatia an that sign we call it "rogi" (horns) is act of opposing evil. You make it when someone is telling lies, doing someone harm, when anything bad happening. I don't know origin, is it some christian or pre-christian source but it is still like that today.

Long live Rock 'n Roll, RIP to one of best of all time.

[urquelli]

R.I.P Dio!! Father of the voice of Heavy Metal Music!

[motrhed31]

Please fans.... My heart is broken at this Icon's passing. But please stop calling his trademark "Devil Horns". They were no such thing. The symbol is ancient italian lore called the moloik. It is simply a gesture that wards off evil...not inviting it.

[iluvroknrol93]

@motrhed31

i believe even he called it the devils horns.

[psykoskar2000]

@motrhed31

Youre a dork

[motrhed31]

@psykoskar2000 --- That's the best you got? Name calling? Lemme guess, your screen name suggests the year you were born right?

[lawnking1]

@motrhed31 YOU ARE SO RIGHT

[TenTonNuke]

@motrhed31

Well who gives a shit what it meant for ancient italians? I'm sure the millions of metalheads around the world aren't giving the devil horns to "ward off evil." Giving the thumbs up in the middle east is equivalent to flipping them the bird.

In modern day america, we raise our devil horns high to invoke the god of rock.

[TheSpecialOpps]

@motrhed31 it doesn't invite evil, but it invites metal thats for sure

[umasbob]

1983 I believe around 3 am sleepin with the radio on Holy Diver was played, I remember dreaming and the hollow sound in the begging awaken me. It made my heart pump with fear. Dio's music like really possesed ya in fun ways. Thank God for CD copy's...Dio will live forever if I live to 90, I will piss people off crankin his music forever drivin down the road!

[mrbag60]

This song and Neon Knights by Black Sabbath were both great because of RJD, and its sad to know that the dark form known as stomach cancer forever stilled his voice here on earth. Thus ascended to the light, the deceased rock greats of yore welcome him to Rock n' Roll Heaven by flashing him the devil horn salute and request he assume his deserved place as one of rocks all-time great vocalists. Thank you and RIP Ronnie James Dio (1942-2010)

[PercivalDumbledore]

R.I.P. Ronnie James Dio

Rock on, wherever you are now!

R.I.P. So sad...........

[greca1977]

The king is gone but he's not forgotten.Farewell Ronnie James Dio. We love you.

[Tessmage]

When I was growing up, we used to argue as kids about who the best hard rock/heavy metal singer was. We finally narrowed it down to Robert Plant, Ozzy Osbourne, Klaus Meine, Rob Halford and Ronnie James Dio. Oh sure, our choices were somewhat arbitrary... but hey, we were just kids.

Kids with good taste. And we just lost one of our heroes. Good bye, Ronnie Dio. The world just lost some of its magic... because you took it with you.

[zofotech]

@Tessmage Naaaaa.. you don't understand... he LEFT it behind for all of us to enjoy forever... can't you feel it all around you when you listen to "catch the rainbow" ?

[CHERMOTLEYCRUEFAN87]

THANK YOU RONNIE! \m/"\m/

[georgiabluesman]

Ronnie, your music helped me survive high school. Long live Ronnie and Rainbow!
