@NerdWerld I purchased a best of Rainbow album a year ago. It was 2 disk set. The first had Dio, the second, did not. I was so captivated by Rainbow when I heard it that I wanted to give every song a chance, with an open mind. Everytime I listened to the second disk, my soul slipped further and further into a raging inferno or torment and suffering that one day while driving home I had to pull over, rip the disk out, step out of my car and curb stomp that disgrace.

I saw Dio with Heaven and Hell, just before they put out their awesome and sadly only record. Age did not affect the power and ferocity of that man's voice, it only seemed to strengthen it.

Also it needs to be said Craig Goldy (if that's who he's with onstage here) Did Blackmore's classic lead justice, which doesn't happen often with this song.

RIP Dio. No man could do what you did, and no one can replace you. A true metal legend.

@crowbar0404 No, this johnnyrainbow guy thinks Ritchie Blackmore was who taught Ronnie his songwriting style, and this was the point of our disagreement. I'm with you...I have most all of Ronnie's stuff that's out there from his doo wop days on, and Dio's worst songs are better than most bands best. I can listen to any group out there, then pop in a Dio/Dio-Rainbow/Dio-Sabbath CD and it's a night and day difference! No-one will ever replace Ronnie James Dio \m/ \m/

@Freedomquest08 Are we arguing over which one of Dios bands were best? or what were the best songs? Because, they were all excellent, regardless......the bottom line is Dio Rocked his arss off , and he was better than the other vocalists that replaced him after he left bs and rainbow. RIP DIO you are a Master Entitiy....

Rainbow Rising is THE God of all Albums

@jonnyrainbow1 I agree that Soldier Of Fortune sounds a lot like a Dio song and could very easily fit on a Rainbow album. Elf was touring with DP during these years, so it's hard to say who wrote or inspired what.

Ritchie has a unique talent at songwriting as did Ronnie. Who did what doesn't really matter. I consider each the very best at what they did. I'm a DP fan as well. The biggest DP crime was not to include 'When a Blind Man Cries' on a studio album.

HEAVEN AND HELL WAS A GREAT ALBUM-NOTHING LIKE BLACK SABBATH-IT SOUNDED JUST LIKE RAINBOW.

THE BEST TRACKS WERE ALL VERY RAINBOW LIKE. NEON NIGHTS,HEAVEN AND HELL,DIE YOUNG AND LONELY IS THE WORLD. BUT RONNIE HAD ALREADY RECORDED 3 ALBUMS WITH RITCHIE-MY POINT!!

THE ONLY SONG ON THE FIRST ALBUM THAT SOUNDED REMOTELY ELF LIKE WAS IF YOU DONT LIKE ROCK N ROLL!

BLACKMORES NIGHT SOUNDS NOTHING LIKE ELF!

RENAISSANCE,FOLK,CLASSICAL,ETH­NIC,ROCK-ALL RITCHIE'S INFLUENCES THROUGH THE YEARS.
