Need to check out Dio in his younger years with Rainbow .... "Stargazer" is a must. "Catch the Rainbow", " Man on the Silver Mountain", and "Gates of Babylon" are other great songs.
Couldn't agree more, also some live stuff from late 70s or early 80s. Like Mistreated live in Munich 1977, or Children of the Sea @ Live Evil 1982 (edit) fixed a typo
Dio is the one who created the “rock and roll horns” hand sign 🤘 and he said it was something his grandmother did to ward off evil spirits in the dark, kinda funny that many people had the wrong idea of the meaning of the hand sign…
Ronnie James Dio is the Godfather of Hard Rock /Heavy Metal !!! I am so glad you are listening to more Dio ... I like to burn one and just chill listening to Dio and just let my mind float ... Other great songs by him ... Don't Talk to Strangers , Gypsy , Egypt , Breathless , Shame on the Night , Caught in the Middle , Straight Through the Heart .. and so many more .. About 92 songs in all ...
RJD always came across as someone coming to read you the most epic fantasy stories ever. His voice as a vehicle for the stories is just mesmerizing in it's delivery. Just fantastic.
In my opinion he is one of the best metal singers .... thank you for your reaction and look forward to more ... Man on the silver mountain is another good one to check out
RJD was from around Cortland NY. One of my best friends mom went to high school with him. She had a recording of him from playing in garage bands from back in his day that she played for us. He had also signed her yearbook that she showed us cool stuff
Love and miss Dio, a true legend. Check out Last in Line, Don't Talk to Strangers, and what I feel is spiritual sequel to Holy Diver, Mystery. Holy Diver is about the never ending grind to perfection and battling our own demons. Mystery is finally finding the end to that road, and just maybe a happy ending.
Hey man, was just listening to this again… when you were speaking about dio being the epitome of legendary rock I was agreeing in my mind then I remembered, there is a family of rockers and a girl leading the band as the singer who most definitely took all her learning cues from Dio. I can’t for the life of me remember the name of their band but if you know whom I am referring to you should check them out, they do this song too and it is just so absolutely incredible
Great song.. long lost memories. Idea idea… bluegrass… “That Girl from Knoxville “ My 80 year old mother told me about this song. I was shocked. I got to see Dio in the late 80’s in Memphis.
Dio Holy Diver was in my opinion is in the top 10 maybe top 5 Albums of all time for Metal Music. Every Song is Great and the symbolisms and Philosophy was just next level compared to everyone else.
He definitely was an amazing singer, that said, he had very strict thoughts on talent competitions. That's probably why you don't see many of his songs being sung on The Voice or American Idol. I remember reading or watching a video on him talking about it, and he pretty much said "you should get over on your own merits through long and hard work. Your big break shouldn't come from a talent show". Or something along those lines.
One of the best rock songs ever! Love when the heavy drums kick in.. You truly feel it vibrate in your heart. Dio was a rock icon🤘And Vivian Campbell's guitar solo was on point too🔥 Check out the Hear N'Aid charity track Stars (packed with metal megastars) that was put together by RJD and raised millions for famine relief 👍
I've literally seen two rainbows in the dark, while drivingdown I-75( moonbows as it was during the full moon ) here in the commonwealth of kentucky! Also Cumberland falls are famous for their Moonbows ( Rainbows in the dark )
Ronnie is known as the 'Godfather of Metal' and created the devil horns hand sign for 'Long Live Rock 'n Roll' (which is a GREAT song by Rainbow with Ronnie at vocals by the way!!). Great job watching him LIVE, the best way to enjoy this talent on loan from God, stage presence and THAT VOICE!! Check out the band Rainbow, song: 'Mistreated' LIVE in Munich 1977. One of the GREATEST vocal performances EVER, you cannot even believe it, goosebumps. There is SO much Dio for you to experience! From Elf to Rainbow to Sabbath to Dio to Heaven and Hell (just Sabbath as old guys!), this man is a one of a kind with a gift that qas the best EVER, that came 100% from God, no lessons ever, but he fid play trumpet from 5-15, wonderful for breath support. Of all of his phenomenal work, my favorite is his work with Rainbow, the writing, the musicality of the band, dramatic and deep and the unbelievable talent of not oy Dio but also guitarist Ritchie Blackmore. I CANT WAIT TO SEE MORE! Go LIVE whenever you can. You can find Ozzy era Black Sabbath songs with Dio at vocals making them SO much better. Check out 'Dio-War Pigs' and videos from his time with Sabbath in the 80's and 90's will come up with Ozzy era songs. Dio improves them all.
This may sounds like I'd be cracking a joke, but in all honesty in our family we did not have god, we had Dio. Ronnie James Dio, Rob Halford and Lemmy Kilmister were the holy trinity in our household and at my relatives houses. Me, my siblings and my cousins all were raised through metal and to this date those three men are celebrated in our family almost as an deities.
I was in the outer banks with a full moon after a light storm and I saw rainbow in the dark it was basically just shades of gray and white In Different Hues .. But amazing... Let me know if anyone else has seen a moonbow before... A 1 in 1,000,000 experience
You must listen to the Heaven and Hell Album by Black Sabbath. Ronny James Dio is the Lead Singer in this Album. You will not regret it. Thanks for sharing MrLboyd.
I would recommend Die Young & Sign of the Southern Cross by Sabbath and Dio. Dio did indeed sing in different genres. He actually started singing in the sixties in a genre known as Doo-wop. Also when he was young his favorite singer to listen was Mario Lanza; a very popular opera singer.
You should look at the RJD project Hear'n Aid the hard rock metal version of We Are The World there is a 30 minute documentary. The biggest metal and hard rock singers and guitarists play a Dio song we're Stars
as somenone else said in the comments you gotta check his Rainbow era, amazing group with Ritchie Blackmore. Rising, Long Live RocknRoll and self titled Rainbow are amazing albums
please from brazil try die young, children of the sea , bible black, rock and roll children, neopn knights dio catch 1,60cm but in the stage he is a giant
For those who love Dio check out Liliac if you haven't already. Vinnie Appice (Dios drummer) nicknamed the singer MeloDIO (Her name is Melody) They do this song and others. Their originals are fire too!
The fact is that the sun rays shining through the particles of water still in the air, with their various frequencies showing their specific colors is still shining but the absence of knowledge is seen as darkness do the rainbow isn't seen because the sun is not shining for the viewer. The beauty is missed because of their ignorance, which manifests as Not light = darkness. IT'S RIGHT IN FRONT OF YOUR NOSE AND YOU CAN'T SEE IT & NO ONE CAN SEE IT FOR YOU. You can lead a horse to water but you can't make him drink.
He really is "the stereotype of how classic iconic legendary rock songs should sound like", mostly because he's one of the people who created the genre, and definitely one of the best (probably THE best) metal vocalist of all time
Like Controversial Conversations? Cool I made a Channel for you lol
@UCgsbo_pZSJ9oiz9xUSV3n4g
"The small man with the big voice". Dio is a bloody legend.
Damn straight. Dude stood 100 feet tall even if the ruler didn't show it. Bloody legend.
Need to check out Dio in his younger years with Rainbow .... "Stargazer" is a must. "Catch the Rainbow", " Man on the Silver Mountain", and "Gates of Babylon" are other great songs.
children of the sea

Like Mistreated live in Munich 1977, or Children of the Sea @ Live Evil 1982
(edit) fixed a typo
Gates of Babylon would be my choice. Basically the entire Long Live Rock & Roll album
all good choices ,but needs to be live in Munich 1977 version
@@stonewing1454 one of my favorite live shows. "Mistreated and Catch the Rainbow" are outstanding.
Dio is the one who created the “rock and roll horns” hand sign 🤘 and he said it was something his grandmother did to ward off evil spirits in the dark, kinda funny that many people had the wrong idea of the meaning of the hand sign…
I luv learning stuff. He was so amazing.🤘
Ronnie James DIO was a Satanist. He admitted that in several interviews.
malocchio
@@TheMarine9312 malocchio satanico
You're full of shite. That is a symbol for satan's claw. If Dio told you that than he's an idiot.

Every time you throw up the horns, you pay homage to DIO
Dio is a rock god. he is the foundation many built their sound on.
RJD always came across as someone coming to read you the most epic fantasy stories ever. His voice as a vehicle for the stories is just mesmerizing in it's delivery. Just fantastic.
I never viewed it that way but you are so right.
Truth. Also what made magika one of my favorite albums despite it probably not being the strongest of albums
When Jack Black puts on his metal persona, he is trying to channel RJD.
And yes, Dio learned his vocal chops while singing in blues bands.
Dio also taught Jack so that's why
A rainbow in the dark could also be interpreted as someone special whose talent isn’t being noticed
In my opinion he is one of the best metal singers .... thank you for your reaction and look forward to more ... Man on the silver mountain is another good one to check out
Anything Dio is worth a listen. One of the best rock leads ever 🔥❤
RJD was from around Cortland NY. One of my best friends mom went to high school with him. She had a recording of him from playing in garage bands from back in his day that she played for us. He had also signed her yearbook that she showed us cool stuff
“Last in Line” is a great one!
RIP Ronnie James Dio. He was not only an amazing singer and frontman he ruled as a human. He was just the best dude.
Check out Heaven and Hell, his voice paired with Black Sabbath was just so clean
checkout Dio - Heaven and Hell 2005 Live performance in London
One of the few groups that sound live exactly like they do recorded. Yes Ronnie Dio screams in melody!
a truely glorious word smith and fantastic vocalist , writer and entertainer.
Miss ya RJD. You rock !
RJD is just so good. So many ways to interpret this song. It’s fantastic at the end of the day.
Omg how old is this song. I loves Dio back in high school along with black sabbath, ozzy, scorpions,
Dio is one of the Legendary Kings in Rock 🤟🤟🤟🤟
Love and miss Dio, a true legend. Check out Last in Line, Don't Talk to Strangers, and what I feel is spiritual sequel to Holy Diver, Mystery. Holy Diver is about the never ending grind to perfection and battling our own demons. Mystery is finally finding the end to that road, and just maybe a happy ending.
I just died when you said "Holy Driver"! XD
Dio had the best rock voice ever.
I love your way of putting rainbow in the dark that was great. "SEMPER FI" GOD BLESS.

Great song.. long lost memories.
Idea idea… bluegrass…
“That Girl from Knoxville “
My 80 year old mother told me about this song.
I was shocked.
I got to see Dio in the late 80’s in Memphis.
Dio was iconic! You should listen to the song “Don’t Talk to Strangers” to see more of his vast talent
Also, LOOK OUT!!!! 🤘
lil guy with an absolutely gigantic voice owwwwww !!!!
If you are interested in his vocal longevity, check out "Neon Knights" performed by Heaven & Hell at the Wacken Festival in 2009.
Listening to you give your interpretation sounded like you read me the whole book.
As always,
I was entertained
Timeless Dio’s voice. Legends never die!
Of course Jon Lord!
Dio Holy Diver was in my opinion is in the top 10 maybe top 5 Albums of all time for Metal Music. Every Song is Great and the symbolisms and Philosophy was just next level compared to everyone else.
I got Dio as my #2 lead singer behind Mr Mercury
Best voice in in rock! Legendary 🐐
He definitely was an amazing singer, that said, he had very strict thoughts on talent competitions. That's probably why you don't see many of his songs being sung on The Voice or American Idol. I remember reading or watching a video on him talking about it, and he pretty much said "you should get over on your own merits through long and hard work.

I agree he is a great example of the genre.
Please check out Don`t Talk To Strangers live..It is incredible and my favorite by him! Love DIO(RIP) Keep On Rockin'
Little unknown fact, Holy Driver is a song about the guy whos drives the Popemobile.
One of the best rock songs ever! Love when the heavy drums kick in.. You truly feel it vibrate in your heart. Dio was a rock icon🤘And Vivian Campbell's guitar solo was on point too🔥
Check out the Hear N'Aid charity track Stars (packed with metal megastars) that was put together by RJD and raised millions for famine relief 👍
More of him is a must
Sign of the southern cross is his best!!!....you heard me!
RIP RJD....A true rock wizard...you are remembered always...🤘🤘🤘
Ronnie James Dio is iconic metal rock music. He is the god father of that vocal sound.
Insanely amazing, live recording off the floor.
Maybe The King Of Rock-N-Roll.
Rainbow - Stargazer, another flagship Dio song.
I recall him appearing in my dreams a few times before his passing
dio=god he domain sabbath , he die sing with never , great tecnic , for shore the best vocal in metal
I've literally seen two rainbows in the dark, while drivingdown I-75( moonbows as it was during the full moon ) here in the commonwealth of kentucky! Also Cumberland falls are famous for their Moonbows ( Rainbows in the dark )
by the way those were very beautiful, though of darker tones
he started out as a doo wop singer in Ronnie and the red caps he was pretty good at it to
It's a dig at Richie Blackmore. Ronnie James Dio sang for his band Rainbow in the 70s.
Imo, a rainbow is a symbol of hope so i think its hope when all things seem hopeless
Very powerful!
Ronnie is known as the 'Godfather of Metal' and created the devil horns hand sign for 'Long Live Rock 'n Roll' (which is a GREAT song by Rainbow with Ronnie at vocals by the way!!).

You mentioned you think he may have vocal training in a different style... he did. Check out 'Ronnie Dio and the Red Caps' "An Angel is Missing".
It's a beautiful song.
Catch the rainbow (live version)!
Elvis=The King
Bruce=The Boss
DIO=THE FUCKING VOICE
Vivian Campbell melting faces on guitar 🔥
The song is about Ritchie Blackmore.
A Legend
This may sounds like I'd be cracking a joke, but in all honesty in our family we did not have god, we had Dio. Ronnie James Dio, Rob Halford and Lemmy Kilmister were the holy trinity in our household and at my relatives houses. Me, my siblings and my cousins all were raised through metal and to this date those three men are celebrated in our family almost as an deities.
Ronnie James Dio. First band in 1957 Vegas Kings, 1967 Elf
Lets not forget a young Vivian Campbell on guitar!
I was in the outer banks with a full moon after a light storm and I saw rainbow in the dark it was basically just shades of gray and white In Different Hues .. But amazing... Let me know if anyone else has seen a moonbow before... A 1 in 1,000,000 experience
Your a Legend Just a Rainbow in the Dark.
You gotta listen to "Don't Talk to Strangers" from this concert
It's the best!
You must listen to the Heaven and Hell Album by Black Sabbath. Ronny James Dio is the Lead Singer in this Album. You will not regret it. Thanks for sharing MrLboyd.
Ronnie had the best heavy metal voice. And the band.
Dio rocks
DIO 🤟
Incredible song
Shame On The Night - Holland 1983
Holy diver is one solid album. One of my faves.
My favorite dio song next to heaven and hell
I would recommend Die Young & Sign of the Southern Cross by Sabbath and Dio.
Dio did indeed sing in different genres. He actually started singing in the sixties in a genre known as Doo-wop. Also when he was young his favorite singer to listen was Mario Lanza; a very popular opera singer.
I believe the song is inspired by his time in Rainbow.
Mystery by Dio, please.
I suggest you react to Meg Myers-"Lemon Eyes", very unique and powerful female music artist and fantastic music video.
Check out LOCK UP the Wolves by Dio. A great song.
You should look at the RJD project Hear'n Aid the hard rock metal version of We Are The World there is a 30 minute documentary. The biggest metal and hard rock singers and guitarists play a Dio song we're Stars
Dio.. The only man badass to sing about rainboows ... In the dark.. Rock on
as somenone else said in the comments you gotta check his Rainbow era, amazing group with Ritchie Blackmore. Rising, Long Live RocknRoll and self titled Rainbow are amazing albums
Doo whop of the late 50s early 60s Ronnie and the prophets. Songs like will you still love me tomorrow. Yeah that's Dio like mind blown
RONNIE JAMES DIO's ONLY CHILD IS AN INSURANCE SALES-MAN IN MASSACHUSETTS. Interesting fact. Wonder why he didn't inherit DIO's millions.
"Don't talk to strangers" is my suggestion for next DIO song , or you can do " Heaven&Hell" Black Sabbath with him at vocals
please from brazil try die young, children of the sea , bible black, rock and roll children, neopn knights dio catch 1,60cm but in the stage he is a giant
Great performance but I only know it because I have heard the studio version. Studio version always first
the guitaris great vivleadisgreat
A rainbow in the dark is still a rainbow. Sometimes you can see one around the moon.
For those who love Dio check out Liliac if you haven't already. Vinnie Appice (Dios drummer) nicknamed the singer MeloDIO (Her name is Melody) They do this song and others. Their originals are fire too!
Ronnie James Dio Rock Legend !!!! RIP
Neon Knights from his Black Sabbath days.
I love DIO
The fact is that the sun rays shining through the particles of water still in the air, with their various frequencies showing their specific colors is still shining but the absence of knowledge is seen as darkness do the rainbow isn't seen because the sun is not shining for the viewer. The beauty is missed because of their ignorance, which manifests as Not light = darkness. IT'S RIGHT IN FRONT OF YOUR NOSE AND YOU CAN'T SEE IT & NO ONE CAN SEE IT FOR YOU. You can lead a horse to water but you can't make him drink.
Indeed, Dio, the most metal man below 6ft to ever grace this earth.
Gotta do stargazer!
It’s always God’s lost hope according to what he told Boag. I’ve always felt dark, but God had a strong within it to hold me like he did Noah.
Vivian Campbell 🔥💪
great song!
Heaven and hell
