Big fan of Ronnie James Dio since his days with Rainbow and Black Babbath, and I saw him perform with both bands. RIP.

I was going to post a thread about this, but did not know if there were enough Dio fans to get many replies. Thanks for starting this thread.

Dio has and still has through his recording, the best voice in all of metal. Both Rainbow and Sabbath were at their best when he sang for them, IMO. Yes, I prefer Dio Sabbath over Ozzy Sabbath.

Here are my favorites from each:

Best Dio song with Rainbow: [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f80Gs-Gw-WY"]Long Live Rock 'n' Roll[/ame]

Best Dio Solo: [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Knn2xYo6nzc"]The Last in Line[/ame]

Best Dio song with Black Sabbath/Heaven and Hell: [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nhe1SuBGkiA"]Neon Nights[/ame]

Dio with Deep Purple (not part of the band officially, but did perform with them), [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C1_b5tJ1SoY&feature=player_embedded#"]Sitting in a Dream[/ame]!

He will be missed. R. I. P.

I had no idea the guy was so old, almost 70 and getting ready to launch a world tour this summer before he got sick. Amazing!

Dio : Rainbow in the dark

This was the song I thought of when I first heard he had passed...

 

[stardust3]

Rainbow : Stargazer.

Black Sabbath : Lonely is the word.

Dio : Rainbow in the dark

He was the best vocalist in metal ever.

I have many that I am fond of. RJD is definitely in the top10. When rainbow came out it was in the highlight of my youth. It's crazy how songs and people shape the very person you are today, RJD definitely help define who I am & proud of who I become. :up

Rainbow : Stargazer.

Rainbow in the Dark is a little overplayed

Rainbow in the Dark is a little overplayed

Where?

What station even plays Dio anymore? Not around here.

I will surely give out an RIP but not as "Black Sabbath's" RJD.... as Sabbath died once Ozzy was gone.
