Dio did the "devil horns" in a live concert with Rainbow. Everybody attributes it to the time with Sabbath, but he does the gesture briefly live as early as '76 or '77.
I wonder when AC/DC first used it.
@O'Irish McMan for real?
@@oirishmcman3994I have also heard the same story. I think Liquid Metal/Hard Attack did a cover on him ages ago, and that's where I heard it. Love Dio, what a legend.
@@CometdownCat Too late for the answer but he says that on the documental "metal a headbanger's journey"
It has nothing to do with rock and roll originally, everyone thinks Dio invented it, but that symbol has been used in eastern Europe (Yugoslavian area) since the 10th century, its an anti-curse symbol.
Gene Simmons be like "I made this" LMAO
He also invented breathing 😂
Gene has patents for everything we use through our lives. He is the creator and the destroyer, the God of Thunder one might say
Gene Simons sucks
@@coopskiis wasn't one of them for OJ?
I mean, he was using them before this, Love Gun album cover ‘77, plus plenty of pics around that time as well.
It's an old Italian hand sign. He most likely learned it from his family. My great-grandma used to use it. For those curious, it's called the corna in Italian.
Yeah, in an interview he said that his grandmother used to do this sign to people who walk on streets in order to protect him from them.
there is only one Italian hand sign
I've heard this was used to ward off evil spirits and such
@@AILSDIALDJ It's used by Italians to ward off the evil eye (the malocchio).
Horns may have multiple meanings in Italy.
They can be used to ward off bad luck.
You also use them to make it clear that your wife or husband has cheated on you ("sei cornuto" literally "you have horns").
They are also used as an insult just to wish that the person to whom it is directed is actually cuckolded
"I wAs tRyInG to Do tHE SpiDER-mAn ThInG, But I WAs HoLdInG A PiCK iN My FiNgERs. ThEn ThEY sTaRTed dOIng It BaCK aT Me."
- Gene Simmons. The undisputed inventor of everything.
It genuinely astonishes me that dude still has fans. It was one thing back in the 70s and 80s when the internet didn't exist. But now it's just so easy to go find out exactly how much of an awful human being that dude really is, and yet people still buy into it. Sad really.
@@naztetv8862 I'm not informed at all about all the Simmons controversies, could you explain to me what's going on? I'm really lost
@@salem6310 It's not really controversy or scandal. It's just his overall personality. The way he treats people, the way he does business, the fact that literally Nothing means anything to him aside from business and sales. The dude treats interviewers like they are literal garbage, unless of course they're a beautiful woman. He has zero love for his music, and I really really mean that. The dude saw music, his band, performing, all of it, as just his business hustle. That's why KISS was so heavily merchanized, even to this day. He is everything you picture when you imagine a soulless business suit, and he has awful manners and an ego to rival the gods on top of it. I sound like a hater just ranting on this, but I mean it's legit shocking to me that people can tolerate that dude for real.
@@naztetv8862 welp i guess not every musician is an artist, some are more like businessmen
Two different gestures
This music that you play for us comes from the depths of hell.
Rock and roll's The Devil's work, he wants you to rebel!!
IN THE CITY OF FALLLEN ANGEEELS
WHERE THE OCEAAN MEETS THE SAAAND
YOU WILL FORM A STRONG ALLIANCE
AND THE WORLD'S MOST AWESOME BAND
@@SicknessGun "To find your fame and fortune
Through the valley you must walk
You will face your inner demons
Now go, my son, and rock!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Musical instruments are inanimate, it's how you use them that becomes evil.
A guitar is no different than a ten dollar bill.
Put your ten in the offering plate or go buy a cheap ugly whore with it, your choice.
Lester
@@umk5135 His real first name is Mo. :)
His Italian gma used to do it thwart away the evil spirits 🤘🏻
here in argentina is used too, a gesture to avoid bad luck
that amongst other handsigns are called mudras and are believed, religiously and spirituality to connect with certain parts of the body on a cellular level to initiate inner healing etc etc
No that invites them
Rest in peace Ronnie.......One of a kind
I'm so naming my band "Rock 'n' Roll Organization"
Yeah, I’m pretty sure the horns weren’t Gene Simmons’ idea.
Actually, lol, the "Devil Horns" first showed up on a record by an animated John Lennon on the cover of the "Yellow Submarine" soundtrack. Dio didn't invent it, but he sure popularized it. No one today would be doing it if Dio didn't introduce us to it.
@@mark_beastpriest5539 Actually no that is incorrect the first sign was on The Coven first album cover 1969
@@phantasyboy1031 no that is incorrect. Spider-Man was doing it in 1962. 😂
@@Sam-vk8xd actually some caveman probably did it hundreds of years ago
@@mark_beastpriest5539
I thought gene started the whole ASL love sign thing?
you know thumb out
Put 'Em Up!
What fucking energy this dude had flowing thru him.
It’s for repelling evil spirits and the evil eye. So it’s hilarious that people associated it was the devils presence
Perhaps the most important event in rock/metal history. Long live DIO!
Such an iconic moment..
Damn Dido is metal as fuck
"Whoever is a good rock and roll organization"......
And that's, I, DIO!
Rainbow live in Munich. If you look closely, Ronnie flashes the horns briefly, and very tentatively during the show. He seems to get a great thrill in doing so.
Man, Black Sabbath were amazing with Dio! Is there anyone else in the world who agrees and wants to see Dio era Sabbath released on vinyl?
Friend of mine owns a record player, so I bought him a vinyl of The Devil You Know.
@@Saint_nobody Great album. Okay, so that makes 1. I guess we're the only 2 who think Black Sabbath were still great without Ozzy. Dio, in fact, Ian Gillan and Tony Martin, had a much better vocal range.
They're around. I have a copy of Mob Rules.
Its surreal seeing this exact moment happen haha.
A real moment in history here
Covens album "Witchcraft Destroys Minds & Reaps Souls" had the devil horns, pentagrams and upside down crosses in the sleeve of that album back in 69'. They probably weren't the first to "introduce" it but neither was Dio(In music, all of those were obviously well known and used way before then)
Only here to see all the dunks on Simmons. You guys delivered!
Dio made his Italian Grandmother proud! That's where he got the gesture from; his Italian Grandmother. She used it to ward off the evil eye (Maloccio). It's the equivalent of knocking on wood.
What is very surprising to me is that Gene Simmons knew Dio's Grandmother and taught her that sign when she was still livingin the "old country"! I mean, wow! Gene gets around, doesn't he?!
Theyre playing Heaven and Hell!
Amazing Stuff! THANX 4 SHARING!!
Jinx Dawson of Coven gets no love. She was doing the horns in 1969.
image-wise, Coven was a big influence on Black Sabbath in general (even if the guys from Sabbath refuse to admit it :D), they even had this bass player named Oz Osborne :D:D:D but Dio made "horns" the symbol in heavy metal community..... it's like with bodybuilding, there were bodybuilders before Schwarzenegger, but Arnold was the one who made bodybuilding global sensation and brought it mainstream attention...... I guess Dio simply had bigger charisma than Jinx, that's why HE was the one who "patented" the horns......
Actually before Jinx made the horn sign, it's a culture in Italy when people making that sign because for them it's a protection from evil. Dio told that in an interview with Sam Dunn. He saw that first from her grandmother. I know some fans know the story behind that. Its called "moloyk". I'm not sure about the spelling.
@@taurusguy9305 it's malocchio,even tho your spell matches pronounciation in several italian dialects
The Greeks did that back when writing was barely a thing. What Dio did was popularize it in rock and roll.
@@JohnMicius - It's actually called mano cornuto (horned hand), malocchio in english would be Evil Eye. When someone was giving you the evil eye, aka dirty looks, they could be putting a curse on you. If you thought someone was doing this you would block it with the mano cornuto, they would have the fist upright pointing the fingers at the eyes and blocking the curse.
Geezer Butler has been photographed throwing up the “Devil Horns” in the late 60’s and very early 70’s. You can find them easily.
A true legend.
......and that gesture has been misunderstood ever since.
@Bill Dan Dio was not a practicing satanist. He was a nonbeliever, an atheist humanist. I know that you meant he is 'in' hell not that he is hell itself, lol. You need to proofread.
It's a masonic hand symbol
@@theymockedjesusalso source?
@@bryanPSX Google Masonic hand symbols and easily see it lol? Come on bro.
@@theymockedjesusalso its an old european hand sign used for good luck and warding off evil spirits, look up "Sign of the horns" on wiki and shove off with the conspiracy bullshit.
Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum! My old barn!
Nazi veterans!? WTF!?!?!?
goosebumps
🤘
Actually had to do it when he said to put em up. What a legend- R.I.P. RJD
LOL I did too. 😂😂👌
OK, I don`t get tired to say so!
I miss you Ronnie! 🤘
American band Coven had the Devil Horns on their "Witchcraft Destroys Minds & Reaps Soul" album cover in 1969. First song is called "Black Sabbath" btw.
What a legend.
NO ONE CARES ABOUT JINX! This legend of a man right here STARTED THE TREND . doesn't matter if jinx made the sign first he didn't litterally incorporate the sign in to an entire genre like dio did right here. Show the man some god damn respect.
Esther "Jinx" Dawson had introduced the sign of the horns by 1969
Who ?
@@raphaelrampinelli8413 the Lead singer of Coven, late 1960's.
@@emilyfarfadet9131 never hear about this
Well ya know Holy Moses coined the term black metal before Venom in their demo black metal masters
And was a real satanist
Put ‘em up!
We miss you Ronnie
He said he learned that from his grandmother who would make that sign as she pointed to things she thought evil or bad.
🤘DIO🤘
Dio is dressed up like the girls over in the legal department.
Oh how I would have loved to see a duo between Dio and Chris Cornell, two of rock’s loudest voices 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
Cornell was good, but he was a meer mortal. Dio on the other hand......
@@ZJohnnymnemonic2truth. And I absolutely love everything Chris Cornell ever sang on.
So fuckin sick dude. almost brought a tear to my eye. Long live the king R.J.D. R.I.P.
it may be the devil's music, but at least the devil fucking jams
I was at that show!! 2nd row on the floor in front of Geezer Butler!
The birth of THE HORNS! 🤘
Chills
one of the godfathers of Metal Fuck yea!
Geezer! Yeah!!🤩
Never knew he started this where I lived. Another cool fact about lil old Long Island.
Dammmm this is rock history❤❤❤
Geezer Butler and ozzy did it 1974 during California Jam hehe
41 years ago. Seems like yesterday.
Ahh that’s why the Devil came down to Long Island
Y esa inconfundible linea de bajo...
Every nonna introduced that to their nipote it’s just he’s the first to do it for metal
Put em up! 🤘Yeaaahhh yeaah..
If you did more research you would know that Ronnie James Dio its from Italian called oki do it means reversing evil back to you
Malocchio
He said his grandma use to give him the devil horns ! 🤔
RIP ALL THOSE THAT HAVE GONE, LONG LIVE ROCK AND ROLL 🤘
Not exactly, she did it to anyone she felt was an evil spirit, he said as a child he used to go with her to the market and she would do this, she didn’t do it to him
🤘
Long live Rock N Roll 🤘🏻😈🤘🏻
EPIC!!!!
Gene Simmons disliked this.
Ace Frehley was the real rock star in Kiss.
He was doing it WAY before this. This is just Ronnie telling the audience what it means. You should fix the description because looking at the comments its misleading a lot of people. This just happened to be caught on the Black Sabbath and Blue Oyster Cult "Black and Blue concert video which was filmed in 1980."
A band called Coven first introduced it. Coven - Witchcraft Destroys Minds & Reaps Souls (Full Album) - 1969 ua-cam.com/video/xHAnR0198V4/v-deo.html
Also a band called Angel was also flashin the horns before :Angel The Tower ua-cam.com/video/K5Cc-9Wij_M/v-deo.html
🤘🏾
Makes me want to clean the dishes
WHAT A FUCKING GOD
Your correct the definition of Dio means God
It was actually done in 77 by Dio while playing with Rainbow.
amici metallari non dimentichiamo per nessun motivo al mondo ronnie james dio lui e vivo dentro di noi
Its actually an old Yugoslavian anti curse symbol aswell, if someone puts a curse or is cursing out your name you can do that (the devil horns) and point it at them and it will reflect back onto them.
Just something to ponder, since the Yugo area of the world have done that since the 10th century.
C'est aussi un symbole italien
Fuck yeah boiiii
Thus metal had an upgrade
🤘🇮🇹
Dont acdc have the devil horns on one of there album cover before 1980?
Can people stop arguing over who "invented" the horns? It's literally impossible to pinpoint the first time such a basic hand sign was ever used.
It’s not much “invent” I think people are confused with invent and popularized. Dio did not invent the symbol neither did Gene Simmons. It’s an old italian thing that Dio learned and Dio brought it into rock n’ roll and then Gene Simmons came along and claimed to invent it. Dio popularized it and Gene Simmons is a crybaby lol
@@MustBeMatt No I literally see people arguing over who invented it.
I love Dio, but Bootsy Colins did the horns all the time during his live performances in the early 70's. But I agree that Dio popularized it in the metal community though...
Couldn't even see it because of other videos blocking it.
The HAIR
So perfect
It's a handsign from three letters (ILY), means I love you
Rodney James Dio is metal personified \m/
I like how the title misses the whole point of the words on this video
It’s based upon Italian folk magic to protect against evil
* closes my eyes, hears Jerry Stiller *
Gottfried
obviously he's not "introducing" them if he's already talking about how they're misunderstood
he may have started using em in 80 but Blackie lawless had used pentagrams devil signs n what not from 77
Yeeeeaaaah yeaugh.
The Godfather 🤘
🤘😆🤘
Jinx Dawson was throwing the horns in Coven back in the late 1960s, before both KISS and Black Sabbath existed.
41 год пролетел одним мгновением ....
Ese es mi dios
Omg...
One in the pink one in the stink
did dio just actually lie to everyone n not tell them its a way to ward off evil spirits
No-one has ever invented anything, there's always someone that did it before...
what's the song here
Grandma's malocchio or evil eye.
You heard the same thing from him, his grandma use to give him the devil horns, right ?
@@flipflopsguy8868 Yep, from Dio. He would say as a child that his grandmother would throw the "horns" and Dio was like, "whoa, what was that?" You could do the evil eye as well as block it.
And Dio go into legend with horn's sign,generations of metalheads know for our salute...so..RAISE YOUR HORN
dude... stop
You probably wear a mask in shops
🤘
god!
