That scream at the beginning is flat-out jaw-dropping. 65 years old, and he makes 99% of all metal singers sound like rank amateurs. The man was born to sing, just like Buddy Rich was born to play drums and Jimi Hendrix was born to play guitar. We won't see his like for a LONG time. I feel so privileged that I got to see him live six times (twice solo, and four times with Heaven and Hell). I just wish I'd met him.

0:11 Fucking effortless A5 scream from a 60+ year old man. Dio was still awesome up until his death, and hadn't he have died, he would've been good for many years to come. Unlike most of his peers, he didn't blow out/lose his voice over the years, if anything it got better with age.

DAMN that clunky, chunky bass tone is the baddest sound EVER!

Ronnie may be the best Vocalist of all time.

I remember seeing Ronnie in Athens in 2005. He would do these screams, just like in the beginning of Mob Rules, and we'd all just stare at the stage, slack-jawed. He wouldn't do this kind of things in the studio, simply because they wouldn't fit the songs. But that doesn't mean he couldn't do them. Which goes to show what kind of a musician he was - a legend, perhaps the greatest metal vocalist of all time.

@hellsunicorn

Жыл бұрын

Yeah, the closest he ever got to doing any screams as insane as the one he did here in a studio setting was on Wild One (from Lock Up The Wolves), and that was a step below the A5 he hit here. Most of the stuff Dio recorded was melodic bangers that called for something that would be easier to sing along to, but Wild One had this sort of quasi-thrash metal quality to it that made an gut-wrenching scream highly appropriate. Man, I wish he was still around, he'd probably still be able to perform well in his late 70s, though everybody eventually either quits or passes.

@luamoliveira3467

Жыл бұрын

@@hellsunicorn Many people find it impossible for a male singer to hit a G5 in full chest voice but not in relation to Ronnie, that G5 he sustained in Wild One was in full chest voice with throat distortion, he has a great mastery of laryngeal technique and a high level of muscular compression and vocal resistance compared to other vocalists, I isolated that note in order to find any peak vibration in his head, because then I would think it was a voice mixed in dense register in chest voice but I didn't find any peak vibration in his head voice and he amazingly nailed that distorted note in full chest voice with a lot of control in the projection.

Not including those screams on studio also has the advantage that not forcing himself doing them in every show. Since they aren't featured on the original, he can decide if to do them or not. For the audience is also a surprise.

even with stomach cancer {full blown} Ronnie was a better performer than most front men . 70 years old HOLY FUCK

It's almost not even fair to Ozzy. He's a great front man, but no one compares to the voice of Metal, Ronnie James Dio. The guy was just so much better than anyone else; even Bruce Dickenson & Rob Halford acknowledged him as the best the genre had ever seen. So sad he's left us...

Dio. Bless him. Stomach cancer was knocking on his door, but he's still up there pushing. I wonder how his voice would aged from here. You can tell his emphasis and breathing control is reduced here. His voice was starting to age at this point

Ronnie brought the show. That scream was awesome!!!

DIO WAS THE BEST SINGER PERIOD NO ONE COMES CLOSE TO HIM DIO SINGS WITH SUCH MOTION THAT YOU FEEL THE SONGS DOWN TO YOUR SOUL

I sometimes forget how insane this man's vocal skills were, so I remind myself daily. Hitting an A5 or A6 note at 65 years of age is unbelievable. He is really the best singer in the history of rock and metal. RIP Ronnie
