Default RIP Ronnie James Dio

Just in case anyone hadn't heard, Ronnie James Dio died today of stomach cancer. The guy was one of the true legends of heavy metal, it's a sad day for all headbangers.

Man that sucks!!!! He had one of the best voices in my opinion. The song heaven and hell when he sang for Black Sabbath will always be one of my top ten faves.

I was so sad to hear the day he died...We was an all time favorite for me. There are so many great songs that he performed.

I'm really glad to have see heven and hell 2 years ago at the art center in NJ its the only concert Ive been to since(yea i'm old). I love Judas Priest and DIO imo just blew them away, and should have headlined. I was so amazed that this guy could still sing the way he did ,but I had no idea he has 67 years old.

The cool thing is I knew hearing them that day, that I would remember that concert and DIO forever!!!

Dio now is the man on the silver mountian......
