      Dio is one of a kind, he truly transcends musical genres. There's a lot of great metal/hard rock bands and an endless list of great vocalists.... but Dio is truly on a tier of his own. His voice, his lyrics, his theatrics performing live... there will never be anyone quite like Ronnie James Dio. Especially with Tony Iommi/Geezer Butler, Black Sabbath, as his "backing" band as Heaven & Hell in the 2000s. He was great in the 80s and just as goosebumps inducing in 2012.

    "Master Storyteller" is the perfect description of Dio.
    He's one of, imo THE greatest rock/metal vocalist of all time. Not just because his voice is absolutely stunning, but also the lyrics and incredible theatrics while performing.... he's like a great fantasy novel come to life in the form of metal ballards.
    What's even crazier is that Dio sounds even better live than he does on studio albums. From the 80s until the mid 2000s with Heaven & Hell, Dio's voice somehow got even better with age.
    Dio, especially with Black Sabbath/Heaven & Hell backing him is truly some of the greatest modern music ever created, bar none it's the best rock/metal music you can find.
    The most remarkable thing about Dio is that, according to him, he's 100% self taught and never took a vocal lesson in his life.... and yet he, like you said, he's larger than live and completely commands not just the stage, but the entire arena.

      True.. But it lead to the split, where Campbell left.
      Dio wanted a great and over the top tour, and made Bain and Campbell to give away a big part of their credits to fund the stagework, which also meant more crew etc.
      Bain and Appice were not over the top about it, while Campbell felt that RJD should've taken a bigger share of the bill since it was kind of his "dream". Kind of sad, since it was a good team. Though I would claim Goldy is a better shredder, I feel Vivs contribuition was slightly more memorable. Better riffs and contribution to songs like "Last in line".

If Viv had seen the bigger picture maybe he'd be a more significant figure in rock/metal today rather than the guy that used to play for Dio. We're still watching and admiring this document that Viv unfortunately didn't play on through his own choice.

    Funny that you mentioned Dio in the studio. He always needed to bring his own microphone, because his voice was too strong for regular mics. Dio sang a short fragment for the movie "Tenacious D in the Pick of Destiny", and there's a "making of" where they discussed this.

    Mr. Dio. Those of us who have been listening to him since the very early 70's, never get tired of watching someone admire his unequaled talent. This was a brilliant tour and one of the best stage shows I have ever seen. His ab lib section that connected "Last in Line" to the start of "Holy Diver" is one of my favorite live moments of his. So tender and then so powerful.
    Ronnie got in the habit of bringing his own microphone when he would guest on others material. The reason, he would often overload their microphones from sheer volume and sound pressure. There is a great story of this when Dio did his part for the movie "The Pick of Destiny". He blew their microphone right out of commission!
    Twisted Sister lead sister Dee Snider recently said that Ronnie wasn't a good front man. Just absurd. All the times I saw him it was nearly impossible to take my eyes off him. THAT is all the evidence I need!
    Again, his trumpet training is probably the single most important part of his history. Getting to the high level of proficiency that he did, (could have gone to Julliard) really taught him breath control and how not to over push. Everything else just came from Heaven. He never warmed up. Smoked, loved beer and would walk out cold and do what we just heard.
    No one will ever be able to match that again!

    • @AlexxxNZ
      @AlexxxNZ Рік тому +1

      You need to read Dee's full comments to get what he was saying. I will do my best to paraphrase.
      He was quantifying how different singers entertain crowds. Some (like himself) may not have the best voices (his words) but put on a big show by running around the stage, getting right in the crowds face, get them to sing and keep them crowd on the edge of their seat. He called that style "front man". Others, like Dio, use the power of their voice to keep a crowd entertained and don't have to go over the top with the rock n roll antics and crowd interaction. He called that "performer". Others again, like Alice Cooper, put together a super tight performance, where everything is perfectly choreographed like a Broadway show to make the most entertaining thing they can, barely acknowledging the crowd. Like in a theater.
      And as you can see in this clip, Dio doesn't do the "front man" thing (as per Dee's definition), he does the "performer" thing. And that works for him as a musician, and it works for his fans.
      Dee's comments were fairly typical music nerd comments, in that music nerds like to classify and give names to musical phenomena. It's how we study and learn things 😀
      No one is dragging anyone and everything is pretty awesome. Go heavy metal 🤘

      @@AlexxxNZ Dee apparently has his views of what a frontman is and of course has a right to like anyone but i dont agree with his conclusions in this case. A front man to me is someone that really grabs the audience with their expressiveness and performance rather than some silly running around on the stage clownery, Dio really had that connection to the audience which would " keep the crowd on the edge of their seat" and he moved around enough and made everyone feel that they were the chosen one and had some sing alongs and such to get the audience more involved. Some singers seem to prioritise running around over actually singing so that the singing suffers let alone some of the pop artists that dance so that they have to mime to their music since they are so out of breath, that is clearly the wrong priority.

      You can thank Ritchie Blackmore for that. He saw the way Ritchie was on the road when Elf opened for Deep Purple, and when they were in Rainbow together. Ronnie told a story once where they were on tour in England and there were fans waiting around the stage door when the band arrived for soundcheck. It was pouring rain, but they had driven a couple of hours to see the show. Some of them were there specifically to see Ritchie and get autographs, like any fan would. Ronnie spent about a half-hour or so talking with them and signed autographs for everyone. After the show, they're waiting by the stage door, in the rain, to see Ritchie. Ritchie comes out the door, gets immediately in their waiting car, and drives back to the hotel. Never even acknowledged them. From that point on, Ronnie vowed that he'd never treat anyone who came to see him like that, and he'd stay until everyone got something signed. He also made certain that the guys in the band did the same.

    Hi Beth! Happy to see your reaction video again, especially you're in a cheerful ambiance ; but when you shed some tears just like the way you did the other day it can bring sadness in your followers heart; cause me, mostly, i had to be brave to continue the viewing of your reaction video on Lara Fabian "je suis malade". Be blessed Beth. Keep up the good work.

    I saw this tour when I was young. About half way through the show, I suddenly realized that even though I was way in the back rows and he was tiny onstage, I could still see every finger of his hand when he made a gesture. It was the energy, the clarity and the specificity of his performance that made it possible, I think. His was simply the greatest live performer I've ever seen in any genre.

    I was 15 and my dad got us tickets to see him live. Dio was my favourite band and it was going to be my first time ever seeing him live, and one of my first concerts at all. Then the show got cancelled because of the stomach cancer and he died. Let me tell you, it was like being denied God. All this time later and I'm still gutted that I never got to see someone whose music was so important to me play live. He meant a lot to me, and a lot of people like me. Absolute. Fucking. Legend.

    RJD is my very favorite performer of all time he sang from rhe time he was a teenager with Ronnie and the red caps, Ronnie Dio and the prophets singing doo wop style teenage songs of the late 50s then on to the electric elves, and Elf, in the 60s doing a bit more rock n roll then in the early 70s he was in rainbow with Ritchie Blackmore and was amazing, then he replaced Ozzy Osbourne in Black Sabbath then in rhe early 80s he formed DIO and sang and performed until his death such a humble, talented man who always put the fans first truly a legend

    Ronnie would sign autographs after every show. I went after a concert , he asked me why I limp and told him I was shot and he gave me a hug. The guy was the sweetest man in the world and I get misty eyed thinking about that. 🤟🏻😢 His shows were always amazing. I consider myself fortunate to have seen Black Sabbath with all 3 singers live. Dio was the best.

    Meeting this Giant of a manis among the best memories of my life.
    In 1991 my Father took me with him backstage to meet the bands.
    Had no idea of who they were cause I was 5.
    Meet Ronnie and for the following 19 Years he always took his time to say HI to a kid that at first meeting was a bit shy, hiding behind his father.

    12:03 Jack Black has a story about when Ronnie James Dio came to record Kickapoo for Tenacious D, he had brought his own microphone. Told by the producers that it wasn't necessary,," he went on to immediately shred their "state-of-the-art" microphone. He quipped "That always happens…" Dio was obviously fully aware of his own vocal powers. Dude seemed like a really nice guy too. I miss him a lot.

    I lost 4 friends in a car crash. It was right after Dio released the single "Last in Line" and I learned the rhythm part before I Joined the Army. When I got there, my best friend and three idiots got hammered and drove the wrong way on the highway. They smashed into a woman driving home from some family get-together with her two daughters. It was May 9. Four days before my birthday. When I got the news about these idiots dying and killing a family... I went a little bent and sat in my room and played "Last in Line" and "Holy diver" along with the cassette over and over and over and over very loud. RJD is awesome. He rescued me. You are so beautiful. The very idea of a young Irish lass. You're impressive. They can afford pentatonic scales in Ireland now? With the money generated by the Commitments? Cranberries, Judas Priest, Tesla, The Verve Pipe, The violent femmes, Elvis Costello and Five Finger Death Punch! You in?

    I was graced with the opportunity to see and hear RJD sing in both Black Sabbath on the "Heaven and Hell" tour and multiple times with Dio as headliners. He was terrific every single time. I do have a personal Dio story. I graduated high school in 1982, and immediately started singing in a local rock band. We were doing a gig at a local watering hole, and noticed a commotion toward the front door of the place. At first all we saw was this absolute mountain of a man walk through, followed by two other guys. Those two other guys happened to be Dio himself and his guitarist Vivian Campbell. They sat and had a few drinks while we finished up our set. We had a chance to sit with them and chat for a bit before the end of the night. They turned out to be really nice, down to earth guys. It was a great experience.

    "LOOK OUT" - "CHILDREN OF THE SEA" is an intentional call-back to his earlier albums with Black Sabbath.

    It might interest you to know that this guy goes back musically to the early 1960s and sang as a pretty typical male vocalist at that time with a sort of rockabilly style, just light years from this. Check it out by his Wikipedia or discography.

    Okay as a hardcore Dio fan . I have to let you know he was in a dowop band when he was 18 in 1960, look up Ronnie Dio and the Prophets he does a killer cover of lovepotion #9. He was greatly influenced by Blues and so it's very R&B. Some of what makes him the very best at it. He's a quite the story teller too. All that charisma in such a small package. My first Metal concert was Dio, my older brother took me to it and I have loved Metal heart and soul from then on.
