Please you must to see Ronnie live! I recommend "Heaven and hell", "Last in line", "Children of the sea", "Stargazer", "Mistreaded" "Gates of Babilon" or "Don't talk to strangers" all amazing songs and Dio is best live!

I would love to tell You that Ronnie James Dio was one of the best shows that I have Ever seen. 1998, Cincinnati Ohio. The band did not have another gig for 2 days. The 2 and a half hour show turned into a 4 and a half hour show! Dio was Unreal! So Amazing! Keep up the great work! ❤

"rectangle Ronnie". You are a genius. And you're so fun, entertaining, educational. You really know your sh*t. And I love it when you sing. God bless.

If you loved that, you're going to absolutely love his work with Black Sabbath (and before that, Rainbow). "Holy Diver" as is would be considered an absolute classic of the Rock albums of the era, Heavy Metal or otherwise.

Dio WAS Black Sabbath. I can’t even listen to the albums with Ozzy…but Dio. He even made Dehumanizer good.

RIP Ronnie James Dio An absolute legend I always loved listening to Dio, from solo work to his work with Black Sabbath after replacing Ozzy, to Rainbow and even showing up along side Jack Black with Tenacious D Loved all his songs, especially last in line and rainbow in the dark.

Rainbow eyes is possibly one of the most beautiful things ever heard by human ears. It could possibly make you cry. He has such a beautiful voice

Lolli, you are THE MOST entertaining vocal analyst out there! I truly mean it. I learn and laugh and re-live hearing these songs for the first time through you. Can't wait to hear you record this kind of hard rock and metal. I hear you doing this kind of music. Love your channel.......

Out of all of the vocal coach reactors on KZread, you've always sound the most accurate when you vocally re-create parts! 🤘

There is Ronnie James Dio and then there is everyone else! R.I.P. \m/ \m/

Ronnie James- Great Voice of Rock Music! From Black Sabbath to Rainbow and his solo career. Rest In Peace. ❤

A delightful reaction, as ever - and it's amusing to see young reactors discovering music that was just part of the landscape for my generation. My first awareness of Dio was unfavourable - as a firm Ozzy fan I saw Dio as the usurper of Ozzy's place in Black Sabbath (silly, of course, Ozzy had made himself unfit to be in a band, it wasn't Dio's fault!) and it was a few years before I gave him the attention he so clearly deserves. For a younger age-group, Dio was THE front man of BS, while Ozzy had become a bit obscure for a while. Just recently I found a very respectful and convincing cover of Holy Diver, by Burning Witches - well worth a watch/listen. Bless you, Fairy Sister, keep on doing what you do, we love it.

Ronnie work in Elf is really informative for understand his voice, I think. It wasn't over produced, and the songs were simple, but the voice is made of awesome.

This is the first time I’ve heard this and instantly I realised that this must be where so much of jack black’s inspiration came from. You just know he was rocking out to this as a boy in his room.

this is one of those songs that actually gets better every time you listen to it...personally im in the thousands and its still getting better.

Love when this song starts people never hearing it before...jumps...it's iconic.

Oh, this was a fun review, you're an absolute BLAST to watch reacting to Dio. You've got to do more Dio, as others have said, in groups like Rainbow and Black Sabbath. I'd suggest doing his live performances. Dio had an incredible metal voice, many would say the greatest metal voice of all time (I'd agree with it) Rainbow-Stargazer, Rainbow-Gates of Babylon, and some of his time in Black Sabbath.

Damn girl, you've got all the talent. What a satisfying world you must live in! Yeah, that's assuming a lot I know, but I would be very happy living in your world, just watching you perform you magic, whether it's on stage or in production. Very amazing.

I miss the 80's so much, I love this, BUT IN HIGH SCHOOL, I worshipped DIO 😂

I could listen to your voice all day..both talking and singing...

Dio was such an amazing vocalist and from all the interviews I had seen from different people he was an all-around good person. HE would go out of his way for his fans. It is mind blowing that he had very little vocal training. One of his best vocal performances was the song Mistreated by Rainbow, the live version from 1977 in Munich.🤘

He will forever be known as Rectangle Ronnie from this day forth!

Ronnie was at his peak when he sang with Rainbow. Songs like "Stargazer" and "Catch the Rainbow" are must listens. Plus listening to Rainbow live (1977 Munich concert) takes to another level, the songs"Misteated", "Catch the Rainbow", and "Man on the Silver Mountain" are fantastic.

Yet he was also still absolutely on form on that last Heaven & Hell tour.

That's the first time I've seen analysis on Holy Diver's intro notes LOL

The look on your face when the song faded away? That's how it is whenever a Dio song ends. 😦

​Haven't heard this song for like 30 years .... Happy Valentines day, love. Keep up the extraordinarily good work!

Next ya gotta check out Liliac covering Dio. It's one thing hearing Dio sounding like Dio, it's something else entirely hearing a (then) 16 year old girl sounding like Dio reincarnate.

You know when you completely zone out and someone asks what you're thinking about? Those outtakes pretty much sum up what my brain is up to in times like those almost scarily well.

The best of all time and that's an understatement and a good soul of a man too, every song he sang is better than the other. Rest in peace Dio.🤘

Thanks so much for another Master Class, Lolli!!🤘. And happy valentines day!!❤🌹

Ronnie died 14 years ago . great voice

i just want to say i really appreciate the editing. very few reaction channels come close.

Ever since seeing the premier of this, I've had Holy Diver stuck in my head. It's that riff.

Another great vid, you are consistent-C wonderful to learn from :D

So Dio randomly brought me to your channel, but really enjoyed your reaction, I am hooked on your hilarious banter and energy. You got this old rocker subscribed. Dio was a perfectionist, and you're right his musical arrangement was as tight as a ducks arse. Can I suggest you have a listen/react to Steel Heart, either She's Gone or I'll Never Let You Go. For sheer insane male vocal range no one can come near their singer Mili.

He was a big fan of opera and listened to it mostly

Oh my, she's tumbled into the Dio zone... Enjoy the ride, dear! I wait with Happiest anticipation. Cheers rl 🤘👹🤘

I saw this concert live.. he sounds perfect.. it was a small venue and the audience was smoking so much weed that I couldn't see the stage.. it was just a cloud of colors and sound.. great concert !

I love watching your analysis'. The way entertaining way you convey your genius is first rate! Also, not to be too weird, but your smile is great. Looking forward to the next vocal (and musical and symbolic and everything else) analysis.

This video was made in 1983; MTV was ~ 2 years old, and videos were still being made with miniscule budgets. They still hadn't gotten the process down yet. For comparison, see Dio's "Last in Line" video, which was made a year after this; you can see how video production had evolved in such a short time...

Hm, is kinda minimal effort sounding?

I'm not sure reacts is the collective verb for "responds, comments on, analyses almost every single aspect of sound production (including non-vocal instruments as well), comments extensively on the videography, also provides free coaching on maybe a dozen different vocal techniques while being deliciously funny and engaging all the time, plus also having top-notch video chops" but I sure do enjoy you "reacting" :)

Hey I was just listening to Dio the other day! What a coincidence that you cover one of his best songs.

Excellent reaction and analysis, i really loved it

I love Ronnie James Dio, all groups. However his work on Love Is All with the Butterfly Ball project is a track that always lifts my spirits. As Dio sang 'Long Live Rock n Roll!! Thank you for your video.

happy valentine's day lolli. im sure you will love dio's appearance in "kickapoo", by tenacious d (jack black), the other guest artist in that track is "meatloaf". the movie clip from "pick of destiny" is under 4.5 min.. while dio did solo stuff and was in rainbow etc, im most familiar with his work in "black sabbath", my favorite band, original lead singer ozzy osbourne. sharon osbourne aptly summed up the difference between sabbath with ozzy and dio (although she's biased obviously, nonetheless i agree with her assessment) she said "dio is a great rock opera singer, ozzy is a better blues singer". i hope to see you react to sabbath with both of these 2 singers , suggesting "symptom of the universe" with ozzy and "heaven and hell" with dio. (studio versions recommended, especially on "symptom of the universe".)

RIP DIO Killswitch Engage cover of this song was also really good

Dio =🤘🤘 nothing beats an 80s or 90s music video ❤❤ thank you for enjoying the classics in rock

Hearing you replicate his vocal tones, i find amusing. Most of these kinds of channels don't bother to try and explain through example.

you would LOVE his work on stargazer i think, my favorite song of his ❤

That's interesting... this version solo has 1 min cut out of it compared to the version I've always listened to (and on Spotify, with 5:40 mins). I highly suggest checking out the full solo!

Unrelated to the song, but I've watched a few of your videos this morning and have to say you have absolutely fascinating and gorgeous eyes, I like how they light up and sparkle with emotion. I don't know if it's intentional or not but it makes your reactions in your videos pop and lets the audience more easily feel what you're feeling but in a non-artificial way and adds to your commentary, especially in stuff like your Johnny Cash - Hurt video. Anyway love the videos and have a great day :D

My mom knew that drop was coming after those two minutes of sea and whale noises, so when she introduced the song to me, the volume was at max. I felt it in my soul! XD Rainbow In The Dark will always be my top favorite DIO song.

I kept expecting them to break into Eye of the Tiger. Never noticed how similar they are until this.

Thanks for this one. YOU ROCK!!!

You are brilliant!

You should listen to *Rob Halford* in *Judas Priest* They have a very similar Rock/Metal sound. Especially on their *Killing Machine* album. Rob's range was C#2 to C6, giving him a semitone short of 4 octaves. Although age diminished his ability over the years. He's 72 years old now.

Lolli, as I know how you appreciate how singers approach their craft as they get older, I beseech you to give a react video to the last live video performance Ronnie gave before he left us, "Neon Knights" at Wacken. I'm sure you will be pleasantly surprised. 💜

Your reaction / analysis videos are always such a joy. Thank you. I'd love to see you react to and analyse Scardust. Try "Concrete Cages", a collaboration they did with Patty Gurdy. When is music ever *not* made better by the inclusion of a hurdy-gurdy?

Love your videos and analysis. Would you consider checking out something from Messiah Marcolin? I'd recommend Samarithan from Candlemass or his live perfomance of Kali Yuga with Therion. I've not seen many reactions to him and I would love to hear your opinion of his vocals.

Loved Ronnie since the early 70's! RIP DIO

Listen to the studio version of Stargazer by Rainbow, his vocals are truly stunning. Live, watch him again with Rainbow in 1977 singing Mistreated.

Dio was my vocalist hero as a kid and I was immediately "sold" after hearing this song on the radio. This is now my third video I'm watching from miss Lolli and the knowledge, talent and love for music is so overwhelming that just had to subscribe! The first video that I watched was Focus/Hocus pocus and that's such a treasure chest that maybe that reaction and analysis can't be beaten, but let's find out... :D It's such a pity that Swedish record producer/song writer/DJ Denniz Pop had to die so young as he and Lolli would have made a perfect pair! ;) :D (At least in the head of a fool with a stupid sense of humor! :D )

This is gonna be fun! I would very much like you to hear James Rivera in HELSTAR sing ABOLISH THE SUN. Always enjoy your vocal analysis. :)

I really like to listen to your dio tribute album now😊

I always love hearing your lessons.. thank you. This one touched my heart. For the next one I will love you to analyze Dream theather the spirit carries on live metropolis part two I love this song and I hope you too.

Lovely as always! Check out Stargazer with Rainbow
