- In this video, I react for the first time to Ronnie James Dio performing “Holy Diver”. I analyze his amazing performance, explain and demonstrate his vocal techniques and I'll tell you what I think made it so great. Dio is an absolute legend of metal music, a true pioneer with a legacy. I am so excited to hear his other bands like Black Sabbath, Heaven and Hell or Elf. I am aware they are absolute references in the genre. I am so happy I got to share my analysis and reaction to this with you

Please you must to see Ronnie live! I recommend "Heaven and hell", "Last in line", "Children of the sea", "Stargazer", "Mistreaded" "Gates of Babilon" or "Don't talk to strangers" all amazing songs and Dio is best live!
Couldn't agree more he's the GOAT would add Tarot awomqn to the list if only for the beautiful opening.And from the Dio era the live version of Don't Talk to Strangers is fantastic
And youll get the explanation about the “devil horns”
Don't forget "Last in Line" (says alot about warning of evil)😇❤🎵🤙
Last in line ! my favorite!
I love Sign of the Southern Cross but "Sing me a song, you're a singer..." can't be beaten, it gives me chills every time.
If there's someone on YT who has a better combination of knowledge, talent, personality and sense of humor than this lovely lady, I haven't come across them.
Not just on youtube;)
@@mauijttewaal II 100% believe that. I just don't go to other social media sites.
She's very good,, but I also like ( the charismatic voice).
@@alexrossi4464that’s who I was going to mention along with Beth roars.
@TheCharismaticVoice
Dio solo is fantastic, but in my opinion his work with Ritchie Blackmore in Rainbow is truly magical. Songs like stargazer, Catch the Rainbow, Gates of Babylon , i love it!
Mistreated Live in Munich '77; best performance by RJD IMO.
I love catch the rainbow
Gates of Babylon is soooo good
Rainbow's "Stargazer" is a must
Rainbow > Black Sabbath> Dio solo
I would love to tell You that Ronnie James Dio was one of the best shows that I have Ever seen. 1998, Cincinnati Ohio. The band did not have another gig for 2 days. The 2 and a half hour show turned into a 4 and a half hour show! Dio was Unreal! So Amazing! Keep up the great work! ❤
Dio's voice...is a hug for the soul. Now you need, Heaven and Hell, The Last In Line, Don't Talk to Strangers, and Rainbow in the Dark. Fun fact: Ronnie started his career singing '50's songs!
should one of Love is all!
Lolli, you are THE MOST entertaining vocal analyst out there! I truly mean it. I learn and laugh and re-live hearing these songs for the first time through you. Can't wait to hear you record this kind of hard rock and metal. I hear you doing this kind of music. Love your channel.......
"rectangle Ronnie". You are a genius. And you're so fun, entertaining, educational. You really know your sh*t. And I love it when you sing. God bless.
If you loved that, you're going to absolutely love his work with Black Sabbath (and before that, Rainbow). "Holy Diver" as is would be considered an absolute classic of the Rock albums of the era, Heavy Metal or otherwise.
Dio WAS Black Sabbath.
I can’t even listen to the albums with Ozzy…but Dio.
He even made Dehumanizer good.
Out of all of the vocal coach reactors on UA-cam, you've always sound the most accurate when you vocally re-create parts! 🤘
RIP Ronnie James Dio
An absolute legend
I always loved listening to Dio, from solo work to his work with Black Sabbath after replacing Ozzy, to Rainbow and even showing up along side Jack Black with Tenacious D
Loved all his songs, especially last in line and rainbow in the dark.
There is Ronnie James Dio and then there is everyone else! R.I.P. \m/ \m/
Damn girl, you've got all the talent. What a satisfying world you must live in! Yeah, that's assuming a lot I know, but I would be very happy living in your world, just watching you perform you magic, whether it's on stage or in production. Very amazing.
if she heared the orginal now i really would love to see her reaction to the Cover of Liliac - Holy diver.
Ronnie work in Elf is really informative for understand his voice, I think. It wasn't over produced, and the songs were simple, but the voice is made of awesome.
Never more, Streetwalker, and Wonderworld are great songs.
@@jalkabre5904 not to mention he did a (great!) War Pigs cover with elf yeeears before he got to do them "properly" 🙂
@@cango5679Yes he did
A delightful reaction, as ever - and it's amusing to see young reactors discovering music that was just part of the landscape for my generation. My first awareness of Dio was unfavourable - as a firm Ozzy fan I saw Dio as the usurper of Ozzy's place in Black Sabbath (silly, of course, Ozzy had made himself unfit to be in a band, it wasn't Dio's fault!) and it was a few years before I gave him the attention he so clearly deserves. For a younger age-group, Dio was THE front man of BS, while Ozzy had become a bit obscure for a while.
Just recently I found a very respectful and convincing cover of Holy Diver, by Burning Witches - well worth a watch/listen.
Bless you, Fairy Sister, keep on doing what you do, we love it.
I could listen to your voice all day..both talking and singing...
That's the first time I've seen analysis on Holy Diver's intro notes LOL
I miss the 80's so much, I love this, BUT IN HIGH SCHOOL, I worshipped DIO 😂
You must, must, MUST hear Liliac's cover of this... ps another great reaction, I love your depth of understanding of vocal techniques!!!
Fun to see Dio blow another reactor's mind like he did mine when I was a kid. Legendary.
Oh, this was a fun review, you're an absolute BLAST to watch reacting to Dio. You've got to do more Dio, as others have said, in groups like Rainbow and Black Sabbath. I'd suggest doing his live performances. Dio had an incredible metal voice, many would say the greatest metal voice of all time (I'd agree with it) Rainbow-Stargazer, Rainbow-Gates of Babylon, and some of his time in Black Sabbath.
Ronnie James- Great Voice of Rock Music! From Black Sabbath to Rainbow and his solo career. Rest In Peace. ❤
this is one of those songs that actually gets better every time you listen to it...personally im in the thousands and its still getting better.
That's interesting... this version solo has 1 min cut out of it compared to the version I've always listened to (and on Spotify, with 5:40 mins). I highly suggest checking out the full solo!
Saw Dio solo and with Black Sabbath.
Try - Don’t Talk to Strangers
Die Young from Black Sabbath.
Love your reactions and vibe!
Ronnie was at his peak when he sang with Rainbow. Songs like "Stargazer" and "Catch the Rainbow" are must listens. Plus listening to Rainbow live (1977 Munich concert) takes to another level, the songs"Misteated", "Catch the Rainbow", and "Man on the Silver Mountain" are fantastic.
Rainbow eyes is possibly one of the most beautiful things ever heard by human ears. It could possibly make you cry. He has such a beautiful voice
Haven't heard this song for like 30 years .... Happy Valentines day, love. Keep up the extraordinarily good work!
You really need to listen to some of Dio live, or Black Sabbath/Heaven and Hell with Dio. Ronnie had a fantastic voice and live was hard to fault, EVER! I saw him with Sabbath and Solo, he was such a powerful singer as a frontman and a great songwriter. You must do more Dio or bands with Dio, Early Rainbow is fantastic as well with, you guessed it Dio on the mic
This was so much fun, and lots of great vocal demos in this one!
The look on your face when the song faded away? That's how it is whenever a Dio song ends. 😦
He will forever be known as Rectangle Ronnie from this day forth!
The hiss was supposed to be a "wind effect" and was produced by using a car tyre inner tube according to Ronnie.
Really, I just thought it was normal electronic hiss, like the thought of them lugging a tube into a studio
@@tz6414 In an interview Dio gave after the launch of Holy Diver he mentioned the sound and how it was obtained. How they reproduced it live subsequently though, might have been different... Pretty sure they didn't have the inner tube on stage when I saw the band! 😁
Ronnie James is the man. No one better, few to match.
The best of all time and that's an understatement and a good soul of a man too, every song he sang is better than the other. Rest in peace Dio.🤘
that was FUN!!! I LOVE your increased (I think) commentary on the instrumentals lately💜
Love your reactions and your editing is next level!! ❤
Dio was such an amazing vocalist and from all the interviews I had seen from different people he was an all-around good person. HE would go out of his way for his fans. It is mind blowing that he had very little vocal training. One of his best vocal performances was the song Mistreated by Rainbow, the live version from 1977 in Munich.🤘
Next ya gotta check out Liliac covering Dio. It's one thing hearing Dio sounding like Dio, it's something else entirely hearing a (then) 16 year old girl sounding like Dio reincarnate.
some of the live versions are absolutely unreal btw
Love your break down you have a new fan from Australia might be ancient but love greatness you ❤❤
The tribute cover of this song by Killswitch is really good considering the massive stylistic change. Definitely a work of love
Absolutely love your reactions, lends a lot of credence to your analysis when you are able to explain and pull off the techniques yourself. Dio is definitely one of my favorite singers of all time, if there ever is a song to react to from him, it's Stargazer. It's from his time in the band Rainbow. The sheer power and emotion in that song always give me the shivers.
Thanks so much for another Master Class, Lolli!!🤘.
And happy valentines day!!❤🌹
This is the first time I’ve heard this and instantly I realised that this must be where so much of jack black’s inspiration came from. You just know he was rocking out to this as a boy in his room. He certainly brought this theatrical rock genre back to life.
Amazing breakdown of the track and the vocals
Dio and Meatloaf were heavy influences on JB.
What is going on in Fairy Voice Mother's life? She is just glowing and full of happy energy in this video, even more than usual!
I'm sure she's in love
You’ve really inspired me to improve my singing lately. I never understood how to approach singing as a learned skill. I appreciate your content and hope you enjoy the holiday today!
Must be the best Dio reaction i have seen!
My god woman, you are amazing 🤘😎
Love when this song starts people never hearing it before...jumps...it's iconic.
Dio all ways leaves you wanting more, Did see him 2 times, out of the hundreds of shows i have seen those 2 shows were the best i have ever seen!
Please check out Triumph - Lay it on the line
I really think you’ll absolutely love the wild vocals!
Yes! Rick Emmett FTW!
i just want to say i really appreciate the editing. very few reaction channels come close.
Seriously guys, why aren't we talking about how beautiful this girl is? between that accent, her expressions and her mannerisms.. she's probably one of the most beautiful women on all of youtube.
Wow. Listened to this song - true masterpiece - much than 1000 times in 40 years. I didn't expected that someone could learn me something new about Holy Diver. But you did it!!! Thank you so much, Lolli
You know when you completely zone out and someone asks what you're thinking about? Those outtakes pretty much sum up what my brain is up to in times like those almost scarily well.
The first concert me and my girlfriend (now wife of 35 years) was Black Sabbath when Rio first took over from Ozzy. The album was Heaven and Hell, you should listen to Children of the Sea brilliant song. Love your videos. Thank you.
Try DIO - Heaven And Hell (Live 1986), Please.
Oh my, she's tumbled into the Dio zone...
Enjoy the ride, dear!
I wait with Happiest anticipation.
Cheers

🤘👹🤘
Tight as a duck sauce! Lol. Almost choked laughing when you said that. 😂😂😂😂
Amazing video. The amount of analysis of the first 10 seconds was more than i can process and then it kept going.
Hey I was just listening to Dio the other day! What a coincidence that you cover one of his best songs.
HOly Div-AH!! One of my favourite Dio songs, what a blast from the past.
Another top notch reaction/analysis.
I love your humour and editing. The editing is perfectly balanced imo. Do you edit your videos yourself??
I got to see the Dio Sacred Heart tour Sandstone Amphitheatre KCK 1985. He fought a Dragon on stage and it was awesome.
I'm almost positive you've watched Heart before. If you haven't, please watch "Barracuda" (1977) and / or "Crazy on You - The Midnight Special". I think the singing is the best I've ever heard. By any rock singer ! Thank you Lolli.
Yes 'Barracuda' from 1977 is simply great!
I would actually love to hear you singing more of this! You captured Dio really well. 🤘
Yeah Dio is the bomb! You should check him out in Stargazer! Most people get blasted into space with that song!
This video was made in 1983; MTV was ~ 2 years old, and videos were still being made with miniscule budgets. They still hadn't gotten the process down yet. For comparison, see Dio's "Last in Line" video, which was made a year after this; you can see how video production had evolved in such a short time...
or even worse, the trainwreck of a video they made for Rainbow in the Dark :)
Something about his voice always reminded me of the medieval ages. I could never put my finger on it or explain why. Many people I have said this to have agreed. Then he comes out with this video and I had to laugh. Perhaps someone told him as well?? LOL. Anyway, keep diving into Dio. With Black Sabbath, Elf, Rainbow, and his solo stuff. He has been the vocals of so many great songs over the years. His death truly saddened me. Not only because the world lost such a talented man, but the stories I have heard for years depicts a man who stayed humble and was kind to most everyone he met. He was so well respected and loved not only by his fans, but his fellow musicians.
I can't tell you how happy it makes me to see that you're reacting to The Metal God
"Ronnie James DIO"
Oh, Oh, Oh....someone suggested Kickapoo, and I AGREE!!! It would give you a chance to review Jack Black, Meatloaf, and Dio all in one segment.
He was a big fan of opera and listened to it mostly
Ever since seeing the premier of this, I've had Holy Diver stuck in my head. It's that riff.
I love Ronnie James Dio, all groups. However his work on Love Is All with the Butterfly Ball project is a track that always lifts my spirits. As Dio sang 'Long Live Rock n Roll!! Thank you for your video.
I do love some Ronnie James Dio R.I.P. He was so unique and spectacular.
I kept expecting them to break into Eye of the Tiger. Never noticed how similar they are until this.
we must introduce her to Killswitch Engage if she hasnt been already.
Their Holy Diver cover was good, faster and heavier. But nobody can replace RJD...🤘👍🤓
You should listen to *Rob Halford* in *Judas Priest* They have a very similar Rock/Metal sound. Especially on their *Killing Machine* album.
Rob's range was C#2 to C6, giving him a semitone short of 4 octaves. Although age diminished his ability over the years. He's 72 years old now.
Love your channel, my favorite reaction channel on YT! As a musician I love watching your videos. Keep'em coming!
I love watching your analysis'. The way entertaining way you convey your genius is first rate!
Also, not to be too weird, but your smile is great.
Looking forward to the next vocal (and musical and symbolic and everything else) analysis.
Thanks a lot for these interesting informations about one of my favorite songs! Love your explanations and your knowledge!
happy valentine's day lolli. im sure you will love dio's appearance in "kickapoo", by tenacious d (jack black), the other guest artist in that track is "meatloaf". the movie clip from "pick of destiny" is under 4.5 min.. while dio did solo stuff and was in rainbow etc, im most familiar with his work in "black sabbath", my favorite band, original lead singer ozzy osbourne. sharon osbourne aptly summed up the difference between sabbath with ozzy and dio (although she's biased obviously, nonetheless i agree with her assessment) she said "dio is a great rock opera singer, ozzy is a better blues singer". i hope to see you react to sabbath with both of these 2 singers , suggesting "symptom of the universe" with ozzy and "heaven and hell" with dio. (studio versions recommended, especially on "symptom of the universe".)
Damn you are quirky is the best possible way. Loved the reaction.
you would LOVE his work on stargazer i think, my favorite song of his ❤
RIP DIO
Killswitch Engage cover of this song was also really good
You are the lovely flibbertigibbet of the vocal coaching - UA-cam reacting - song analysing world.
(I mean that in a nicest possible way, I just really like using the word flibbertigibbet!)
I'm not sure reacts is the collective verb for "responds, comments on, analyses almost every single aspect of sound production (including non-vocal
instruments as well), comments extensively on the videography, also provides free coaching on maybe a dozen different vocal techniques while being deliciously funny and engaging all the time, plus also having top-notch video chops" but I sure do enjoy you "reacting" :)
This video is hilarious when you recall how tall Ronnie was. 5'4", even with a sword, doesnt seem too intimidating. But the man could rock!! Amazing voice!
I really like to listen to your dio tribute album now😊
There are so many great things about this song, from his voice in general, energy, guitar... One thing that never stopped baffling me are the drums.
Hm, is kinda minimal effort sounding?
I saw this concert live.. he sounds perfect.. it was a small venue and the audience was smoking so much weed that I couldn't see the stage.. it was just a cloud of colors and sound.. great concert !
Listen to the studio version of Stargazer by Rainbow, his vocals are truly stunning. Live, watch him again with Rainbow in 1977 singing Mistreated.
Hearing you replicate his vocal tones, i find amusing. Most of these kinds of channels don't bother to try and explain through example.
Yours is my absolut favorite reaction channel! Your ability to notice very little details amazes me and your surgency enterains so well!
I love that you do a lot of rock and metal reactions cause thats my vibe! Haven't seen you listening to post metal/sludge though. And I feel like that is a genre you might enjoy! CULT OF LUNA is my all time fav sludge band. They're also so great live!
If you're interested I recommend "Cult of Luna & Julie Christmas - MARINER - Live at De Kreun" where they played a concert with their guest vocalist, the incredible singer Julie Christmas.
On my knees begging an pleading for Sleep Tokens live cover of Hallelujah! Hahah but srsly its a great insight into vessel live :)))
Ronnie died 14 years ago . great voice
You really have to react to Jairo-Begin by letting go. It’s a beatbox cover but believe me, this is by far the most melodic and musically song ever do by beatboxers! And you gonna love her voice 😁
Keep your amazing videos 😘
Lovely as always! Check out Stargazer with Rainbow
Rainbow - Stargazer really showcases a little of everything in Dio's vocal arsenal.
I'm a huge Dio fanboi. I love listening to folks who know the craft explain what it is that makes him so great.
It's corny but Dio saved my life. I was on the verge of suicide when my older brother came for a visit on a whim with a new record he just bought. I had already stolen my fathers revolver and had it in my room. My bro pops in, "hey man, new album by that guy you like sang with Rainbow. Check it out" and then "Stand Up and Shout" blasted over the speakers and we sat and listened to the whole thing. Me sitting in front of the stereo and him by the window smoking a joint. (Gen X kids, right?) and then at the end he left, leaving the record with me and then I put my father's gun where it belongs.
I doubled down on my martial arts training, went on to win national and world tournaments. So... I say again, Ronnie James Dio saved my life. Now I'm (old)years old. Got grandkids, retired. I'm overall happy.
You cut out half the guitar solo you beautiful Brit. You need to check out his live stuff. Amazing. I had the privilege to see him live a few times. Incredible!
