You are dearly missed .
Seen him in a small teen club around 1964? As Ronnie Dio and the prophets near Endicott NY We all thought he was a teenager . Great performance.
Stargazer. Some of the best vocals you'll ever hear.
What a singing voice he had.🎶🤘
He was a great Metal Singer RIP thank you Dio❤
the voice of rock and a very very nice guy rip ronnie🤘
Great singer, absolutely. Nice guy? Maybe to interviewers and people he liked, but ask a lot of the people that worked with him how nice a guy he was. The whole St. Ronnie thing is a myth.
You’ll never find another rockstar as fan friendly as Ronnie.
I'm thinking Vivian Campbell would disagree. Ronnie really harshed him on the way out of Dio.
There are tons of rock stars who are amazing with their fans. And many more who are not.
@@derhandtrommler He said fan friendly.
@@derhandtrommler Maybe your reading comprehension is “slightly” deficient. 🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️
@@derhandtrommler Vivien, is a narcissist! He's a liar! ? he says he quit because he wasn't getting paid! Then he says he was fired! Then he said he , himself organized the e tite( stars), charity! Which Ronnie James Dio, organized! 😢
I’m deliberately watching these videos about musicians I don’t know, because you make them interesting and flesh the person out beyond the known image. Everyone has a story! And a journey, which is always fascinating. I often look at these videos and think, imagine if they’d done this instead of that ….everything would be different. Sliding door moments. Wonderful video🤗
Thank you Deidre 🤗💕 Yes its awesome to learn about others lives and the twists and turns they go through to become famous. But as you say sometimes the journey isn't a good one and fame takes its toll sadly 😓 I'm just happy to live a normal life, though it depends what you're looking for I guess ❤
@@HarmonyHeartsLifestyle-ul5yv true. Normal and happy sounds good to me as well🤗
Absolute legend.
Who knew one could re-interpret and re-imagine the great operatic arias of Fellini, Verdi and Wagner through a wailing electric guitar and matching soaring, sonorous voice ? Ronnie did. 🎸😫 (btw, this is a belting it out emoji, not a crying or sorrowful one). RIP 🙏
Seen the great man live 6 times, only just have taken off his t shirt this morning 🤘🤘
In 1980 l was all into post punk and new wave then Heaven and He'll came on the radio and l was like "holy f*** listen to this guy" l drove straight to the record store and bought the album. Just the day before l told a friend "there is no Black Sabbath without Ozzy" had no problem admitting l got that one wrong
Ronnie still lives though his music. I listen to him all the time on my iPhone! Used to play some of his songs on my guitar years ago!
I am glad that I had the chance to see Heaven & Hell in San Bernadino. What an amazing show! DIO is my favorite singer, and that night was epic! There were four bands on the bill that night. Testament was the opener, followed by Motorhead, then Heaven & Hell and Judas Priest closed the show. What a night to remember! Every time I listen to DIO, I always remember that night with a smile. RIP RONNIE JAMES DIO and thank you for giving all metal fans everywhere the gift of such great music and your music lives on through each and every one of us. CHEERS!
Seen him in New Zealand with black Sabbath in 2008, best concert ive seen
Saw RJD when he was with ELF. They opened for Deep Purple at the Long Beach Sports Arena in the early 70's. Later with Rainbow. He was one of the best singers I have ever heard.
Saw him in 1980 Black Sabbath Miami Arena Probably the best concert I ever saw and I have been to One hundred of them
Ronnie had the best power voice I was lucky to see him 3 times his voice was like another instrument on stage it went right through you thanks Ronnie one class act

The king of heavy metal❤
Great man. Great singer. He is the metal God . I saw him with Black Sabbath and his band Dio. Great shows everytime. I miss him. I saw him probably 15 times. Fantastic. 🤘🃏🇺🇸🎸👍
best rock singer ever stargazer best ever love you Ronnie😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀
That's what I named my dog. Cause she has spooky yellow eyes
Now I want to take an hour drive to Cortland High School. Meeting Ronnie was one of the most awesome experiences of my life.
Just have to say,one of the best rock voices ever. RIP. SIR!!
Dio was my first concert back in '84. I was sixteen.
I saw him on that same tour in Pittsburgh when I was home on leave from the Army in 1984.
The next time I saw him was Aug 22nd 2009, the Black Sabbath tour in Cleveland when I was living in northeast Ohio, less than nine months before he died, I just couldn't believe it, after all those years I got to see him again and then he died out of the blue not long after, the concert itself was an out of the blue thing, a friend of my girlfriend who is plugged into the concert scene up there from working for a Cleveland production company called us the day of the show and said if we wanted to see it just let him know and there'd be two tickets waiting for us at the box office of the venue, he said it was a birthday treat for me since my birthday was just 8 days later on the 30th, and then just months later and without warning, not like he was sick or anything and you could see it coming, just all of the sudden someone who'd been such a big part of my personal little rock n roll journey through life was gone, Rainbow, him with Sabbath in the Heaven and Hell/Mob Rules era, then those great solo albums of his in the mid 80's, and then all those years later on a spur of the moment thing getting to see him actually with Sabbath instead of just with them on a poster on my bedroom wall, then poof, like some kind of a cloud that dissappears he was gone, it still blows my mind when I think about it.
Lucky you! Dio, was in his prime during that holy diver / last in line era! ! I unfortunately didn't discover hard rock/ metal.until 1988 when I was 14 years old. I wish I had been born in the late 60s to have experienced all the late 70s, and entire 80s! Best music 😁🎶 ever! I was too young in the 80s.
Love them ❤❤❤Philadelphia USA 🇺🇸 Nostrovia 🎉🎉🎉
I saw Dio with Black Sabbath, DIO, and Heaven and hell.
Hands down the Absolute Best Voice ever in Heavy Metal !!!
@@doug2078 check out Lajon Witherspoon from Sevendust.
Wow his grave with the crying angel is so EPIC!❤❤
What i liked about Ronnie was his matter of fact no bullshit attitude plus the fact he could sing a little bit. RIP.
Why is there a man pictured near Ronnie when his first wife is mentioned ?
Got stuck on a flight delay due to weather so went to the airport lounge and ordered a coke. The frizzy haired guy next to me says "l got this round" lt was Ronnie. He was a great guy he made single complaint about traveling for his job the we talked about flying since l flew myself in. He was interested in getting a civil license. He gave me an email address and l sent him some information. Not long after that l heard he had passed. Such a nice guy
@@MichaelRoy-hc3lz Never met the man i only went off his interviews,but by most accounts he was cool.
I'm glad I had the opportunity to see Dio live 16x from 1986 through 2007! In 2007 Saw him with Heaven and Hell aka Black Sabbath. Miss Dio🤘
I saw him in 1986 at the Texas Jam and Sammy Hagar's Van Halen was the closing band...
Short little guy that Ronnie James Diol was he was the best singer of heavy metal and rock I have ever seen and I've seen a lot of different bands in my 57 years...
This guy was so good he should have been way more popular than he even was
No one better vocalist RJD. The king of metal vocals 👑
😢😢Amazing Dio.loved him.❤🤘🤘🤘
I miss 2 legends of Rockmusic Ronnie James Dio on vocals and Cozy Powell on drums. RIP TO ALL LEGENDS ❤
They didn't like each other.
I LOVE RONNIE JAMES DIO!
Amazing voice, saw him 16 times live. Too bad he didn’t believe in a real Heaven and Hell. I PRAY he is resting in PEACE. 🙏🏻
Great artist!
Met Dio in 1997 backstage. He was super nice guy. RIP
My friends met him at his bus. What a great picture. 1997 Des Moines Iowa. He'll of a show
RJD forever in my heart 😢
Ronnie James Dio, the little ELF with the voice of thunder; The man on the silver mountain that can run with the wolf and shines like a Rainbow in the dark.
Ronnie should in the Rock N Roll Hall of Fame....
Yes dear is the icon of vocals when it comes to rock in the beginnings of metal which I think it started a little bit before him with John Lawson and Uriah Heep with David Byron and then there was right behind them taking over and making a new type of music with etc..
Dio....
Yeah. He was alright.
If you're into awesome voices.
STAND UP AND SHOUT!!!🤘
I saw Heaven and Hell 3 times in 2007 ..so happy I did.
Dio....The Voice of God!
He was also responsible for introducing ➡️ 🤘 ⬅️ to the world.
Sorry but Geezer is seen in photos doing it years before dio ever did
Great Singer😊
I seen him Ronnie and band rocked at the Ballard fire house rip stevo
Do yourself a favor and find the 3 Elf albums. It’s his best music.
No it isn't
The magiçal magnifiçent Man on the Silver Mountain
How about his doo wop days back in the 1950s
Right on my friend. Not too many people are fully aware of RJD's entire music career. Not that I really GAF about the R&RHoF anymore due to their lack of integrity. However, it boggles my mind & pissed me off why Dio hasn't been inducted into the Rock Hall yet. IDK the reason why Dio's been snubbed all these years but if anybody has the qualifications to be inducted according to what it takes to be considered by the Rock Hall committee, it's Dio. Ronnie was the epitome of Rock n' Roll. Like you mentioned Dio was playing bass & singing in a Doo-Wop group back when the term was coined & they actually played Rock n' Roll. Which was before the Beatles, the Stones, the Who or Zeppelin were even though of being a group. Dio progressed his group "Ronnie & the Rumblers" into the Hard Rock band the "Elves" which turned into him joining up with Richie Blackmore's "Rainbow." Ronnie then went on to replace Ozzy in one of the most iconic bands in music history joining "Black Sabbath" & ended his career how it begun with his own solo group simply called "Dio." IDK for sure so don't quote me, but I feel confident in saying that throughout RJD's entire music career Dio wrote more songs about & titled with the words Rock n' Roll in them than anybody else ever in music history. Dio also arguably created or at the very least popularized the most iconic hand gestures in music. You can go to any Rock, Metal, Country, Hip-Hop, etc... concert right now today & I guarantee you'll see fans in the crowds with their hands held high in sky putting up the 2 finger horn hand symbol gesture, no bout a doubt it. Dio was one of the most iconic singers & voices ever in music. The impact of inspiration & influence he had & gave to others even still today in music is hard to beat. I can go on & on but you already know this man, right? 😂😜🤣 Blah,ha!! Just saying.. ++Peace & Rock n' Roll 4 Your Soul My Friend++ 🤘😎🤘
Great balls of fire!
KICK ASS VOCALIST 😎
R,I.P ROINNE
DIO
nice man. actually its vinnie ap- pa -c.
1:15 who leaves Guitars like that.
Plenty of people. It's counter to the directional tension of the strings.
@@a_planet_on_fire the feed back. Probably turned off but using the string side just doesn’t seem smart.
You left out the part where Sharon Osbourne introduced Ronnie to Tony Iommi after they fired Ozzy. And that the accusations of Ronnie raising his vocal tracks from Live Evil was by someone at the studio who was a drunk and called Tony and lied about it.
🤟🤠💥🌟🌀👍
NOT 'Apeace' but 'Appasee'.

Dio is another name for God. R.J. is not and was never a God.
Fan friendly yes poor band mate
I love Ozzy but the great and LEDGENDARY Ozzman cant hold a candle to Ronnie James Dio...fact
Maybe if he stop smoking
Might have had chance
He died of stomach cancer. Fool.
@@rufus231. Exactly what a dumb ass!
Too much sameness on his solo albums.
Most ever rated vocalist ever. His loud skretchey vocals never stood up to Rush or Led Zepplin.
😂😂😂
Meh..
Arrogant little Ronnie Mocked the Lord.
Bad albums with B.S. Then he grew..
Otherwise this crap is lies.
Ronnie Dio sucked black Sabbath sucked rainbow was good but not with Dio on vocals
Brave words from behind a keyboard
People bought the records and sold out the shows because they were tricked I guess?
how many gold and platinum albums do you have
YOU SUCK!
He was excellent!
3 albums, heaven and hell holy diver last in line.
Thanks for your philosophy but we bloody know this
Fantastic Awesome one of the best but who the fuck was dressing that poor soul❤
