The song "Since You Been Gone", (preferably the live version, off the (Rainbow) album Final Vinyl) is one of the most underrated rock songs out there. I have personally converted several homo new wave/modern rock listeners into homo rockers with that song.

Oddly, it's kind of a romantic song.

That was Graham Bonnet, not Dio singing that.

I remember running into Elf, Tyrant and a slew of other metal bands when I was doing sound in the Ithaca area back in the ‘70’s.

I for one could care less what Pat Robertson has to say about anything. He needs to STFU.

Saw Dio with Sabbath and solo a couple time in the 80s, always great stuff, hope he pulls through. Rainbow in the Dark is my favorite.

Sunset Superman is still on my mind! The many times I had to see him (solo/Sabbath) was always great. His back up bands was always top notch. Get well and come back on tour again. You are missed Leather Lungs!

Here’s some Ronnie facts:

Loves the word ‘heart’ as evidenced by the songs:
Eat Your Heart Out
Like The Beat of A Heart
Sacred Heart (also the album title)
Straight Through The Heart
Between Two Hearts
Hunter of the Heart

That’s an EP right there!

Loves to say ‘No’ a lot in his songs...
No!No!No!No!No!
or between verse lines he’ll interject No!

Just some Dio observations!

I saw Dio when he was with Rainbow, way back in 1978 in Memphis. Mahogany Rush ( Frank Marino ) opened the show.

I really enjoyed the Black Sabbath album, Heaven and Hell.

Get well soon Ronnie.
