He's my favorite metal singer and singer in general of all time. I love the Black Sabbath albums with him, always have, but I do agree with Ozzy now, before i didn't. It was a big difference in sound to where it sounded like 2 different bands. Looking back now, perhaps they should have just called themselves. Heaven and Hell when Heaven and Hell was released after Ozzy departed because, then there would have been Black Sabbath and Heaven and Hell. I think that would have been cool 😎

@@foxxshorrorside9923 True. Come to think of it, Mike G (editor of Metal Maniacs magazine) once said in an article that Black Sabbath should have just called it quits back in '75. But RJD picked up the pieces and gave the band a brand new life.

A great loss. He is still deeply missed after all these years.😥

Rest in Peace, Dio. Your voice will just make anyone stand up and fight against their sorrows. It did that magic on me.

A man of principle. The most loyal front man to their fans period.

One of the greatest frontmen of all time

Me too. I was in the hospital when he passed. I had been in there for 2 months at one place and came home went back to another one for 2 weeks. It was like 4 months afterwards when I found out he passed. Watched That Metal Show one Saturday night, I must have been dozing, heard one of them say, The late, great, Ronnie James Dio. I sat up straight up in bed. I said WTH. It was a shock.

met Dio back in 85 or 86 he was cool , gave me an a friend tickets to sold out show right before he went on stage getting off his tour bus with two hot blonds at his sides phx Az

It’s interesting how RJD said at the end something to the effect that metal is looked down on by professors and teachers. I remember this in high school. But now I am a professor and Dio is on my “get pumped” for lecture playlist.

It has changed a lot since back in the 80´s, i remember it well, we were the outcasts and most of the grown ups looked down on heavy metal and thought it was dangerous and whatnot. Metal is much more accepted nowdays, but now im the grown up in my 50´s and back in the 80´s i was in my teens so its not surpricing.

I've seen a lot of people's comments about Ronnie's songwriting of the years saying he just throws words together that seem to have a lot of meaning but they don't. And, he really never explains his lyrics, usually leaves it up to interpretation, as it should be. The meaning of lyrics is best to apply to yourself and they can be greatly relatable to your own life. If you hear the writer's meanings, they can take that song away from you if you related to them before. There are a lot of Easter eggs in these interviews as well to his meanings. But, he didn't ruin it for you. He gave a lot of insight to Strange Highways in this video and that's one of my favorites.

Dio makes a very insghtful observation about heavy metal and country music fans. I am from the south, but every stereotypical longhaired headbanger in our crowd also had country music cds and lps. Now it was the old outlaw country stuff, but we all loved it. And we loved metal. One guy I ever knew who just didn't like country. Everyone else's music stash was split between two genres : metal and country. A group called The Barnyard Stompers has a song called Hellraisin' Redneck Metalheads, That was us. I was also into classical and goth, but none of my buddies were. I just found that an interesting observation that I had also noticed many years ago.

Ronnie James DIO my great hero A wonderful man Singer so kind Deeply missed ❤️🙏

RJD WAS A THINKING MAN'S SINGER ... WHAT A GIFT HE WAS ....LITERALLY ONE OF THE COOLEST DUDES TO EVER TAKE A STAGE ...

This dude is a smart and classy guy

That gave me a fever. It scratched my soul. He IS the King of Rock and Roll. I'll rub my genie lamp...wish he was still alive, and wish he and Ritchie Blackmore never parted ways. (Nothing against Iommi, love him, but Blackmore is guitar God and Dio vocal God in my pantheon.)

It was meant to be. The Rainbow style of rock would’ve badly dated by the turn of 10:37 the eighties. Hence Blackmore going in a more commercial Direction. Dio wanted none of that. Iommi and him We’re the perfect pair at that time. IMHO

That voice!!!

Dio was awesome 👌 👏

its very strange the whole time they didnt know the universe was speaking through them in their music. The lyrics to all these great bands but the writers never understood the meaning. The masses don't either but its good music and they somehow do FEEL it somehow they know its important and thats why the songs get famous. They are hidden messages and the universe is speaking in code to us and even the music videos for the music are doing the same thing. " you're luck is gonna change it's gonna go from bad to strange." - Al jourgensen

Absolute legend. I loved Ozzy but he never had the range of Dio.

When you're true to yourself, you can be honest to others. That's what RJD has taught me. Integrity is not easy in the face of adversity.

Ronnie reunited twice with Black Sabbath but never with Rainbow. Saw him twice with his band ("Dio"). R.I.P.

@10:25 Look at (I think that is) Eric Edams. He is really engrossed in what Ronnie is saying here about fan loyalty. You can tell he is taking those words in (from his metal senpai). And, I think he applied that to his own band because Manowar is another band with really loyal fans (and they are often mentioned in songs).
