[lotten1992]

wow, he's got a very sexy voice when not singing like the God he always will be in our hearts(i'm a girl so don't worry)

i hate that i wasn't born in the 80's or 70's so i just could get to see him perform once, that'd been a memory for life

R.I.P Ronnie James Dio

[letmeinterrupt]

The first day I know about this guy. Such a nice person... I'm enjoying this interview very much! Thank you!

[metalhealth1980]

God has spoken! america = ass, europe= heaven!

[axelfox980]

@metalhealth1980

This.

One time on a radio station that bills itself as "the rock you live on" actually played a 80's disco song after some songs by Black Sabbath and such. I'm like What the heck does disco have to do with rock? They should put disco on it's own station,it has nothing to do with rock music.

[metalhealth1980]

@axelfox980 you are right most americans like shity music, wich is sad because tey will never know what real music is.

[axelfox980]

@metalhealth1980

This. As well as Disco died in 1979,every time they play disco God kills a kitten,if you love kittens stop playing disco. I swear they didn't get the memo that disco died in 1979.

[axelfox980]

@metalhealth1980

This. Plus the fact that disco died in 1979. Everytime they play disco god kills a kitten,if they don't want kittens to be killed,then stop playing disco

[metalhealth1980]

@axelfox980 hahahaha, disco sucks. have you ever seen the movie "detroit rock city"? it is a great rock movie that makes funny of disco.

[axelfox980]

@metalhealth1980

I've seen it.

[metalhealth1980]

@metalhealth1980 fun of disco

[Pedr6500]

@metalhealth1980 the irony is that without america europe would be ruled by the 3rd riech

[metalhealth1980]

@Pedr6500 your point?

[Piscesryche]

@Pedr6500 Queensryche? LOL Geez these ppl should really stop being so ignorant especially on a video of Dio being interviewed.

[Pedr6500]

@Piscesryche Queensryche? yes

but no, if ignorant assholes from europe hate america i put them in their place

[Piscesryche]

@Pedr6500 I see..It's all good!



[infbajuk]

i reall wanted to see him but he died

[rossyboy1081]

This was uploaded just 1 day after he die. R.I.P DIO

[EspadaDeSancho]

After a year, i still can't believe i won't see Dio again in my life. I't's totally sad. Long live DIO !!, from Spain, Europe.

[Metal8909]

What's with the black girl in the advertisment! >:o

[fezzie666]

Every single word that comes out of his mouth, makes u think and think harder about how right he is.

[TheGingermeister]

He speaks the truth

[QuintonioT]

Dio WAS A GOD! He speaks the absolute truth about America! Might have to move..

[redwanalvi005]

@0:57 the god honest truth

[Timmyboy505]

such a nice man, I would have loved to have meet him in real live, be the afterlife is good to

[deansusky]

Dio will always be alive

[guitarroxxer02]

@deansusky Dio will never die. He stays alive in our hearts.

[KreatorOnEarth]

Dio didn't think America was Metal either.

[BlackAssassinBlade]

Is he saying Germany values true music?! I WANNA GO THERE!

[faladith]

@BlackAssassinBlade yeah. they listen to rammstein and threw tokio hotel away to the states. very good taste in music.

[BlackDuckie]

@faladith I grew up in Europe and the first metal i heard when i was 7 was german. Then i heard th German thrash metal before i heard the american one. They have tradition in metal. Good metal. NOt sayin american metal is bad - so many awesome bands-, but i feel that the European one has been more diverse, more consistent through these decades and fans more loyal.

[shiftyhaze]

His so true about America about how there different.

[Crystasorrow]

LOL "wishy washy horrible piece of crap" :P

[Crystasorrow]

Although I do agree with what he said about America and trendy, I have to say that I feel like a minority in America then because I'd rather hear things like Dio and Iron Maiden over the 'trendy' stuff.

[BlackAssassinBlade]

@Crystasorrow I feel the same way over here in England because he's giving a perfect description of England

[QuintonioT]

@Crystasorrow Oh yeah definitely. Jay-z, Lil Wayne, Kesha, and little Justin Bieber have ruined music for us all...

[DirtyMikeballin]

american kareoke. so true.

[lsunationalchamps08]

Im born and raised in the US...actually never been out of the states...But I agree totally what he says...America is just about the money now when it comes to entertainment....people are so brainwashed by companies that they forgot what true music is and what it stands for

[waxLAERTESE]

what he says about american idol is true. but i believe this year people like james durbin can help metal (no not lamb of god or KoRn) but the old style metal become big. faggots just worship stupid gangster music and that pisses me off. rap can burn in hell with hip hop and pop.

[1990schoolgirl]

everything he says in this interview is SO TRUE...

[samlo098]

Hello america ! Ronnie is right !

[wisesatyr72]

its always great listening to a intelligent soulful Rockstar..Dio Forever !!!

[Simmeringtim]

True Gentleman of Metal.

[SeanMusicFreak]

6,666th Viewer!

Rest in Peace Ronnie, may your music always be there to lighten the dark!

[Genstarz100]

God took Dio because he needed a singer for his band

[MasterJokoth]

i wanted to go to one of his concerts. i wanted to here his new albums. why did he have to go

[RedneckFilmStudios]

Dio's opinions on pop and shit music are the exact same as mine :D

[DlSASTERPIECE]

This is probably the most true interview i've ever seen. Ronnie tells it like it is, American entertainment has gone to shit. At least we have the classics that will live with us forever!

RIP Ronnie

[vids4games]

is that an actually saying "leopards dont change their spots", jw i think its a great saying

[rocklover873]

Ronnie now rocking with Randy! Ozzy's got a competition

[XvFALLENSKATERvX]

From that 70s show

[XvFALLENSKATERvX]

I had a dream last night that I was talking with dio, some guy with a motor cycle and fez fro

[saibaTikLt]

God took him, because god was bored.

[Lhorian]

.... who the hells is barry menniloo (or mannielow... how do you spell it?) xD

it's a shame they have idols shit etc. in europe now too :(

[bigrigbob2010]

@Lhorian LOL Barry was one of the beegees, he was big in the disco era. His biggist hit was Copacabana heard here=  /watch?v=KKsVhyiISY8 (just make sure you have a barf bag nearby)

[jopmota]

This is the coolest motherfucker ever.

RIP Dio

[sweetscience85]

Don't get me wrong, but this should be SPREAD to all Americans interested in any kind of music !

RIP Dio !

[GrungeBouke]

Stupid to ask the Dio "Can you introduce yourself?"

[Lhorian]

@GrungeBouke you mean The Dio (with a capital T in The too ^^)

and... Grolsch ftw

[pacovl46]

he comes across as extremely down to the ground and very likable. R.I.P ronnie

[bluesman89666]

yea all around me is a bunch shitty bands..if thats what you call them

[clintbronson5]

I'm sorry you left us Dio...But damn if you did not do it in class saying good bye to us fronting BLACK SABBATH again :)

[DimebagHK]

Holy shit, my respect for Dio has gone way up, and I didn't think that was possible.

[FlamingPineapples1]

hate to say it but America's taste in music has gone to shit.

[PisauraXTX]

"Wishy-washy horrible piece of crap..." I did not know this guy could be that funny :D

[akidwithaclub]

This man speaks the truth.  I am tired of sellouts in America.

[EddieVH666]

So true America kinda blows as far as the general taste in commercial "music." I feel fortunate to live here and theres bigger problems in the world than the tastes of others but what Ronnie said is 100% true

[MsCchief]

Ronnie James Dio was not just an amazing singer but just an incredible person in general. RIP

[kennethmidnight]

apparently he's off to the witch

[Mance200]

Dio really seems classy, quite like it.

[fl00dsm0k3]

@Mance200 dio is class

[austinzeppelin]

lmao, he describes America so well, and I live here and I agree completely

[metrotv]

@austinzeppelin He's an American, some do not realize that.

[Razkartitel]

"Nothing on earth stays forever,

but none of your deeds were in vain,

deep in our hearts you will live again,

you have gone to your throne.

Respect and Love.

[chriscmoi]

@XXXDJH101XXX Stay away from drugs.

[atomicwarrus]

Forefather of metal. 

[MrsHolliValo]

@2112murphy HI :) Have you ever listened to Don't talk to strangers with headphones on and hear the words he sings?? Just curious.. if you haven't one day when you have time do it :) It's magic..... I love what you said about him. He did always speak the truth. Having been performing live since he was a teenager this man lived for his fans. He could have stopped decades ago & been sitting on a private island or something.. but he chose to always sing. His wife is an angel also. CHEERS! xo

[MrsHolliValo]

I feel so honored to have seen DIO live so many times. A blessing to grow up in Detroit. I met him after a show @ the State Theatre in Detroit & he was the nicest guy I've ever met in my life. Being my idol since childhood I was nervous, he said "here sit down" & pulledout the seat next to him. After signing some more things He actually asked me my favorite songs&what the lyrics said to me. It remains the best hour of my life. Nothing compares. I can't wait to see him singing in heaven R.I.P. <3

[legojunk53]

Well I'm moving to Europe!

[yichkaan]

I LOVE DIO!!!

[BaseAndAcid]

Dio the king of metal , you'll always be missed :'(

from Saudi Arabia

[sniper0791]

[christhe1995]

we mish you Dio...miss your voice....you was (almost) healthy..why you??......fuck...the Ozzy Osborne takes tons of drugs and other shit and never dies......why you????? :( :( :(

[Mance200]

@christhe1995 It's called cancer, it's not drug-based. He couldn't control it.

[TheCivvy]

RIP man, this dude was cool as fuck

[MrNomerinos]

This man was a Genius.. Let him rest in peace..

[kirkwanglers32]

Ronnie RIP Miss you.

God wanted you Seems to me God allways takes nice pepole.

Ronnie your a Legend.

[GuardianOFZEBlind]

@kirkwanglers32 , so....God gave Dio cancer? Bullshit, it's a part of life...a shitty part of life, but nonetheless life happened to Ronnie James Dio. Long live the metal king \m/ \m/

[Romans10Thirteen]

@kirkwanglers32

Hey dude do me a favor and check out the 1st vid in my favorites

[rockvib021]

DIO.....THE TRUE VOICE OF METAL.

[sacredgun]

Dio 4 years ago you did this interview and ripped on the USA i live in the USA and just wanna say its still true evan after your dead and most people in the USA dont know what music is about and listen to it because everyone else is and not just because they like it

[Guevara150]

It´s a shame that He died:( man he rockt A Legendary of Rock!! R.I.P Ronnie James Dio The legacy Will live on.

[DaveKShape]

even in death, dio speaks the truth.

[Hemnast]

Dio can't be dead... that's just wrong.

[supermuffin5]

R.I.P. Ronnie James Dio. may he and the devils horns live on forever.

[underworldisis]

Dear Ronnie James Dio-We barely recouped from Peter Steeles death of Type O Negative & then you died. We all know Petrus faked his death. We totally assume you committed fake suicide. I remember that flight to Russia with you & your wife few decades ago. Things change but Black Sabbath & your solo stuff like Holy Diver should hold the test of time. Interview was nice & truthful. God's don't die-unless the Almighty Wraths. My best to R. Blackmore & his wife tks for an interview that reminded me.

[MrsHolliValo]

American "trendy" idiota have also NOT wanted any part of music of thr past.....

[anathemachristos]

THat's right ..Open your minds people..

[MrsHolliValo]

@anathemachristos DONT LET TGEM INSIDE YOUR MINDSSS YEAHHHHH!!!!!
