Ronnie James Dio talks to Eric Blair part 3

[Zyworski]

I had a chance to catch ELF open for Purple in 74 and the thing that I remember most is that they had a 2nd percussionist with rack mounted congo style drums that were played while standing. I have looked for images of the band in this configuration and information on who the percussionist was, but I come up empty handed.

I like this Eric Blair guy...it's so rare to see a competent interviewer nowadays...he's a breath of fresh air.

[blasabb]

ELF really were a great band. i love all the records and i will never forget their music. Ronnie is a person who will forever stay with me. He was a wonderfull person and that comes out through his music

[Anon1696]

Catch the Rainbow. <3

[MiamiJato]

What a fucking gentleman.......



[Lubu1324]

Wow eric is a good interviewer...all the other ones always interupt and arnt interested in it

[chrisz31974]

@Lubu1324 Yeah he is and he knows a lot about Dio's career which is awesome. Better than someone saying "Do you have any songs other than Rainbow in the Dark?"

[akaboo69]

[themetalgod21]

RIP Dio. Thank you Mr.Blair for this incredible interview sir.

[nonaverageblonde1260]

Fascinating.

[Welshbluesman]

RJD must have had alot of time to burn for this interview..almost an hour? Wow. As busy as he is 10 minutes would be premium.

[rollit06]

DIO....musician.....icon......­.historian....one of the all time greats.

[quornholio]

Everybody says "Dio means God."

But, could it instead be that, "God means Dio"?

[jmastersherm1]
