I say this all the time, Ronnie was a genuinely good guy, he was so cool with his fans, never got caught up in heavy drugs and hard drinking and all the other scandalous and shocking non-sense so many other rock musicians and celebrities get caught up in, every word, every nuance, it was not just theater shtick for the sake of it, he means every word, he truly belonged to music, live performance and heavy metal. He saw the world a bit differently and shared those insights with us all...and holy smokes, what a voice! (He was only 5 foot 4 inches tall btw, but he could command an entire arena,) he fully understood stage presence and theater.
Dio is definitely one of the best vocalists in the genre of rock/metal. Dio attributes his great breathe control with playing trumpet in band in high school.
Dio was truly one of a kind. He acquired his vocal talents and amazing breath control from playing a trumpet as a child. He fully understood how to weave theatrics into a performance, as well as being able to ad-lib during a performance. His ability to place a note wherever he desired and shape it upon demand is only matched by Dennis DeYoung (Styx' former singer). He was a showman in every sense of the word, which is why Ritchie Blackmore enlisted him in Rainbow and Tony Iommi grabbed him for Black Sabbath and again for Heaven & Hell. On top of his talent, he truly adored his fans and never turned a fan away. Aside from Vivian Campbell, I've never heard someone talk ill of Dio, which is astonishing given how childish many rock musicians can act. PS - Stryper's cover of Heaven and Hell is the best I've ever heard.
WOW! I've never heard some refenced the Striper cove, yes it was great and they did other covers as well. The dis an album of cover songs (I'm sure you knew that), Plus that info on the trumpet people don't mention. The Covering : 1 Set Me Free 2 Blackout 3 Heaven and Hell 4 Lights Out 5 Carry on Wayward Son 6 Highway Star 7 Shout It Out Loud 8 Over the Mountain 9 The Trooper 10 Breaking the Law 11 On Fire 12 Immigrant Song
@@jeremiahrose4681 there are some stellar covers on The Covering... its well worth the buy! Robert and Michael are huge Van Halen fans, and their cover of On Fire is fantastic.

Great reaction Aaliyah! Dio is one of my favourite singers. I never had the opportunity to see Dio live though, but a friend of me did see him live several times. He said Dio was always excellent and he said he also had this amazing ability to make you feel that he was singing especially for you.
I just started watching your reaction and i'm really excited. I have watched many reactions to Black Sabbath b/c they're one of my favorite bands and i love seeing younger people experience them for the first time - so i'm really glad you chose this video - and you are the first one to react to this live version that i've seen. This is a cool performance - so thanks for posting this one.
Saw these guys a few times. Once a bit later w/ one of the 2 times they played w/ Rob Halford as their front man. I think Dio was playing w/ Heaven & Hell at the time headlining the show (Not exactly 100% sure about that being the same concert). Plus one w/ Ozzy on his 1st reunion tour w/ the band. Dio did introduce the hand sign, but it's origin is actually from his grandmother from Italy meaning protection from the evil eye or giving the evil eye whichever is intended. It became a symbol of rock n roll after Dio started using it on stage and was imitated by others.
Rob Halford played 3 concerts with BS. 1992 Costa Mesa, California when there was the chance for a Reunion with Ozzy and Dio didn't want to play this concert, because of Ozzy joining the stage. So Rob played 2 shows with BS in 1992.. 2004: Ozzfest. Ozzy had a Bronchitis and Sharon asked Rob to stand in for Ozzy. So he did. Heaven & Hell (the band) was from 2006 - 2010, when Ronnie R.I.P. died🤘🤘🤘🤘🎤
It's one of my favorites as well, Aaliyah! Not necessarily the song, but the performance. That's what a great singer does afterall, right? They don't just sing a song; (as I'm sure you're aware) they perform. In the future I would love to hear some of your thoughts about the different vocal techniques used by classical singers and rock singers.
Great reaction to a great performance!! Despite your disclaimer, i consider you to be an expert vocalist, and it warms my heart to watch experts from different genres appreciate and explain things to me that I didn't know or realize about the music I grew up listening to and loving. God bless you, Aaliyah. You made my day once again!!!!! 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
@@AaliyahCapili I meant every word. Between you and Elizabeth I feel like I'm taking musical production classes when I hear your many years of knowledge being expressed throughout a song. Your gorgeous smile and beautiful voice is just icing on the cake also! Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us commoners. Much love, Aaliyah. Stay safe my young friend! ❤❤
Great reaction as always....I had the honor to see this Legend of Rock 'n Roll in concert many years ago in New Orleans and one more time in Buenos Aires in Argentina....For my opinion Dio was the greatest singer in history of all kinds of rock music ever... It's so sad that he is gone....The King is gone but not forgotten...R.I.P. Ronnie....We miss you brother....Greetings Aaliyah from Rio De Janeiro.....Brazil...
I saw Ronnie live about six or seven times as front man for his own band and whenever he toured, tickets were what I always call “auto purchase” ….no brain involved. He always gave his all in every performance and the last time I saw him, 2005 his voice was still strong and rich. Rest In Peace Ronnie. So it’s really heartwarming watching people discovering him for the first time and falling in love with him. PS Geezer Butler on bass is sooooooo underrated and under appreciated.
Yeah, always saw Dio when we had the chance, first with Elf, who opened for Deep Purple/Aerosmith in 1974, then saw him 3 times each with Rainbow and Black Sabbath. Always in the debate for best hard rock/metal singer.
Great reaction our beautiful song 👉 🕊️ 👈 I was at this concert. But I was there to see my hero the guitar player Tony iommi " Tony has a amazing story right before he was to cut his first album he was working in a steel foundry and it was his last day and his day off but his mother made him fill guilty so he went in to work she didn't won't him to be a musician. Close to time to get off some how his glove got caught in the metal press and chopped off the tips pass the finger nails of 4 of his cord fingers he was very depressed he knew it was over I forgot who it was that visited him in the hospital but he gave Tony encouragement. So Tony made some plastic and then leather caps to go over the 4 finger tips and he has to learn how the play the guitar again. But I think it was a blessing because I think the reason he has them hard driving riffs is beyond them plastic leather tips that he still uses to this day. Now I Was blown away with Dio at this concert You wouldn't think a man that small had that much power in him. There was a few notes that felt like it went right through me.. 👉🤯👈 A little fact about Dio when he's throwing the rock horns🤘 people thought it was to be cool. He is Italian his grandmother was superstitious and and in her culture to trow the " rock or devil horns " it was to ward off evil. That's what he's doing but it people thought it was cool and it caught on and people have been doing it every since not knowing why.. he should have patented it..
As has been said, he was truly one of the greatest vocalists in metal, with a career that lasted almost 50 years. That by itself would make him legendary, but he was also a very kind, good man who truly cared about his music and his fans. I miss you so badly Ronnie. Great reaction!
It's always insane to think that a little 5'4 man commanded so much power in his voice and presence. He's sometimes nicknamed "The Elf" because of his appearance and his penchant for singing songs about fantastical topics. I'm biased, but I think he should be an influence on any singer of the modern age. He's a perfect role model for how to really command an audience in a live setting.
Dio was so Amazing! I had the privilege of seeing him on his Dream Evil tour at the legendary and defunct Hara Arena, in Dayton Ohio! Opening acts were Megadeth ( so far so good so what) and Savatage ( hall of the mountain king ) ! 🤘
Dio truly loved his fans!! Even when he was in pain, affected with cancer, he performed live; made a brand new metal album; new animated songs. ALL FOR HIS FANS!!!
GREATEST male metal vocalist of all time end of story! Saw him in a bar in 91ish of about 800 people and he did his 2 best albums of dio holy diver and last in line album in its entirety back to back song after song just as numbered on the album... at 5"2" and his voice larger than any mountain! He is #1......
You should give A Quick One While He's Away by the Who at the Rock & Roll Circus. They do some interesting things like singing the word "cello" because they couldn't afford a cello player for the original recording.
Dio is the guy who made that hand gesture a rock / metal icon. It comes from an old superstion called "The Maliok"... the Evil Eye... if you point it at some one, it "gives" the Evil Eye, or if you aim it upward, it blocks it. Ronnies italian grandmother used to do it all the time... Ronnie just repurposed it for rock n roll. Always remember thoughm.. tuck the thumb in ;)
RJD RIP one all time greatest singers ever never be another like him I'll always miss him and cherish meeting him once and all great songs between Black Sabbath and his solo work
Great reaction. Your expressions were entertaining. As you assemble a list in your mind of future reactions - i hope you put Slayer on your list somewhere - they have explosive live performances. Thanks again for this one.
I have a request. For that little band from Texas 👉 ZZ TOP 👈 we lost the bsss player " Dusty Hill " and the day after his death uncle " Billy Gibbons " the singer and the best guitar player ever. Sent me and my brother's tickets because he and dad was so close and we had lost him a few months before. It was touching he hung dustys had on the mic he would have sung out of and had my dads bandana on. Very emotional. But if you have time in your world travels. To do ZZ Top - Waitin' For The Bus / Jesus Just Left Chicago He was on tour with jimi Hendrix when he was 16 years old. Jimi was ask on late night show who his favorite guitar players was he rattled of some old blues guys then he said right not there is this 16 yr old kid touring with is one of his favorites..what a honor 😮❤
Pro tip: Ronnie got that hand sign from his grandmother. You're probably the only "Teen" in the world that knows this. He told me personally. He also said it's called something like "Malloic" or something similar. It's an Italian thing. He said he wanted to come up with something to do with his hand bc ozzy always did the peace sign. He wanted to do something but it couldn't be the same.
@@AaliyahCapili Great news! 😊🤘🏼 Keep your good mood, professionnalism intact its so refreshing !! ) sorry Im french, not a native english speaker, obviously 😅)
Another fun reaction video! As you have already reacted to Ian Gillan's vocals with Deep Purple, you might be interested in checking out his (very brief) tenure in Black Sabbath. In 1983, Gillan sang lead on the Black Sabbath album "Born Again", laying down some absolutely brutal vocals. He goes for broke on songs such as "Disturbing the Priest" and "Hot Line", and "Keep it Warm" is a great, anthemic ballad. The album is one fans either love or hate, and Gillan has stated that he was the worst singer Black Sabbath ever had, but I think it is a great album, albeit with terrible production. Fingers crossed that we will get a 40th anniversary remixed edition now that the master tapes have been located. Rock on Aaliyah!🤘
Aaliyah It was stated that RJD learned "Horns Fingers" from his grandmother. RJD started out young during late 1950's to early 1960's singing in groups in the Northeast Region of USA. There are audio recordings of RJD in that era on UA-cam.
Hi, I just stumbled on your reaction, good reaction and I liked your thoughts! I love this telling this story, so incase you dont know Dio actually popularized the hand gesture 🤘he used alot in his live perfomances while in Black Sabbath. Little known fact is, he got it from his Italian grandmother, who being a very religious lady used it during his childhood "against the evil eye" To this day its used so much especially during rock concerts around the world!
So glad I got to see Ronnie once in my life when they reunited as "Heaven and Hell". Since you enjoyed the audience participation though, check out the version of Running Free on the Iron Maiden Live After Death video. That blew my mind the first time I saw it.
I love this! But it still seems a bit surreal to me that a Classically Trained Opera Singer of your age is retracing the path of my misspent youth from decades ago..! Love your takes, thoughts and insights - this just re-energizes my recall of all those experiences from those olden dayz. ANOTHER great react kiddo! Cheers rl 🤘👹🤘
This is a great performance from back when they gained tons of new Sabbath fans due to Dio. For me, the very best version of this song is at Wakken 2009, though Dio is older he still brings it. What sets it apart for me is Tony Iommi, its the best I ever heard him play with Dio and the whole band is in amazing, launching extended jams. Look for the video of Heaven and Hell there that is 19.32 long which includes the song and all the jamming that revolves around it. One of the best live shows they ever did and one of Iommi's greatest moments. Enjoy! 🎵🎸🎤🎸🎶
Have a look at the guitar fretting at 17.26 you can clearly see guitarist Tony Iommi is wearing finger tip protectors. He cut his finger tips off in an industrial accident early in his career. Regular tuned tight strings were too painful for him to play so he slackened his strings off for a deeper sound and heavy metal was born
I like you you're just enjoying the music. I've seen a lot of reaction videos. They criticize they put down the band. They haven't got a clue what it's like to have a 100,000 people in front of you jamming to your song and they know every word. You don't criticize you're just enjoying the music I like that a lot nobody's heard them saying nobody gives a s***so shut up and enjoy the music
RONNIE, the King, the Maker, just incredible🙆♀️year’s after years… with voice change, it is bester👌Heaven &Hell for ex: last gig for him( Pancreas’s 😪) rest magnificently interpreter ✊🏽listen RONNIE, seeing him on stage, bring Chills, emotions with our gestures. Ronnie , yesterday, today and tomorrow, in my ❤️ KISSES👄
Loved your reaction and am learning (about the hand sign) in the comment section. Thanks, Aaliyah! Been working with a young woman yesterday. And she stated, how she loves the fact that everyone knows each other and how the fans are so well informed. Here is a little contribution of mine: I lately watched Floor Jansen live in Hamburg. Opening for her was Anneke van Giersbergen. Rumour says, that listening to Anneke with the Gathering made Floor choose to sing metal. (When you're able to sing everything: there are quite some options ;-) Floor, during that concert confirmed that it actually was Anneke, to make that decision. Furthermore: when the concert was over, the song played from tape was exactly that one song: "Strange machines" by The Gathering. Maybe you wanna take a look @ that song, first. "Live at PinkPop Festival" would be my suggestion. Welcome again to the rabbit hole. Greetings from the far north of Germany!
One of the greatest singers of all time

Love your energy and spirit. There is no denying that Dio and Sabbath made a powerful group.
Thanks so much, they are indeed a powerful group😍
Pro tip: Ronnie got that hand sign from his grandmother. You're probably the only "Teen" in the world that knows this. He told me personally. He also said it's called something like "Malloic" or something similar. It's an Italian thing. He said he wanted to come up with something to do with his hand bc ozzy always did the peace sign. He wanted to do something but it couldn't be the same.
Thanks so much for sharing🥰
DIO and IOMMI united.....they Made ROCK HISTORY !
😍
"Amazing" is right. Love you and BSab
🥰
Dio is unbelievable. Like before seeing the reaction ❤
😍
Great reaction! Hope you will do some rock/ heavy stuff again ! =)
Thanks so much, i will definitely do
@@AaliyahCapili Great news! 😊🤘🏼 Keep your good mood, professionnalism intact its so refreshing !! ) sorry Im french, not a native english speaker, obviously 😅)
Another fun reaction video! As you have already reacted to Ian Gillan's vocals with Deep Purple, you might be interested in checking out his (very brief) tenure in Black Sabbath. In 1983, Gillan sang lead on the Black Sabbath album "Born Again", laying down some absolutely brutal vocals. He goes for broke on songs such as "Disturbing the Priest" and "Hot Line", and "Keep it Warm" is a great, anthemic ballad. The album is one fans either love or hate, and Gillan has stated that he was the worst singer Black Sabbath ever had, but I think it is a great album, albeit with terrible production. Fingers crossed that we will get a 40th anniversary remixed edition now that the master tapes have been located. Rock on Aaliyah!🤘
This Album had to much Bass frequencies....
@@martinkasper197 Very true! The muddy sound detracts from the cool songs and fine performances from the band, especially Gillan’s singing.
Aaliyah there is a documentary on Ronnie and his life that is a must watch.
Thank you very much for all the recommendations, feedback and sharing. Much appreciated♥️🌺♥️

It was stated that RJD learned "Horns Fingers" from his grandmother. RJD started out young during late 1950's to early 1960's singing in groups in the Northeast Region of USA. There are audio recordings of RJD in that era on UA-cam.
Thanks for sharing
This is Godly performance, raw and intense. What is important, that you are quickly turning into a serious Dio fan girl !
😍😍😍
Hi, I just stumbled on your reaction, good reaction and I liked your thoughts! I love this telling this story, so incase you dont know Dio actually popularized the hand gesture 🤘he used alot in his live perfomances while in Black Sabbath. Little known fact is, he got it from his Italian grandmother, who being a very religious lady used it during his childhood "against the evil eye" To this day its used so much especially during rock concerts around the world!
Thank you very much for sharing, much appreciated
He did that on his first tour with Black Sabbath in 1981
🥰
Saw Dto 6 times . Last time was at cee beegebes in new York. Their will never be another like him
Thanks for sharing🥰
So glad I got to see Ronnie once in my life when they reunited as "Heaven and Hell".
Since you enjoyed the audience participation though, check out the version of Running Free on the Iron Maiden Live After Death video. That blew my mind the first time I saw it.
Thanks for sharing
j aime beaucoup vos choix musique classique pour moi
Thanks so much💕
Dio os best Singer all time. And you Aaliyah in opera❤
Oh wow thanks so much🥰🥰🥰
I love this! But it still seems a bit surreal to me that a Classically Trained Opera Singer of your age is retracing the path of my misspent youth from decades ago..!
Love your takes, thoughts and insights - this just re-energizes my recall of all those experiences from those olden dayz.
ANOTHER great react kiddo!
Cheers

🤘👹🤘
Thank you very much for your kind words, they are so amazing🥰
I saw this show live.. it was so great.. Dio sounds so good live..
😍
This is a great performance from back when they gained tons of new Sabbath fans due to Dio. For me, the very best version of this song is at Wakken 2009, though Dio is older he still brings it. What sets it apart for me is Tony Iommi, its the best I ever heard him play with Dio and the whole band is in amazing, launching extended jams. Look for the video of Heaven and Hell there that is 19.32 long which includes the song and all the jamming that revolves around it. One of the best live shows they ever did and one of Iommi's greatest moments. Enjoy! 🎵🎸🎤🎸🎶
Thanks so much for sharing🌺💕🌺
May 16, 2010 we lost one of the greatest singer songwriter, stage man of all times RIP RJD
😔
Have a look at the guitar fretting at 17.26 you can clearly see guitarist Tony Iommi is wearing finger tip protectors. He cut his finger tips off in an industrial accident early in his career. Regular tuned tight strings were too painful for him to play so he slackened his strings off for a deeper sound and heavy metal was born
Thanks so much for sharing🌺💕🌺
You should hear the studio version sometime it's really awesome
🙏
Dio is a Legendary Boss. Performance is 🔥. I miss him so much. Rest easy my brother 🙏🤘
🌺🌺🌺
I think your a new metalhead
😍😍😍
Una principessa
❤❤❤
🥰🥰🥰
The world is full of Kings and Queens
Who blind your eyes and steal your Dreams
It's Heaven and Hell !!!!!!!
🥰
Dio was not just a beautiful voice but a beautiful human being and I am sure he continues on and on even though he is gone from us.
🌺💕🌺
James Dio was ,is and still the Master Of Rock and Rock miusic. That never dies!!
🥰🥰🥰
I like you you're just enjoying the music. I've seen a lot of reaction videos. They criticize they put down the band. They haven't got a clue what it's like to have a 100,000 people in front of you jamming to your song and they know every word. You don't criticize you're just enjoying the music I like that a lot nobody's heard them saying nobody gives a s***so shut up and enjoy the music
Thank you very much for your kind appreciation🥰have a wonderful day always💕
Black Sabbath 1968-eternity🤘

Dio started way back in 1957 as a teenage rocker. (Ronnie And The Red Caps)
Thanks for sharing
Loved your reaction and am learning (about the hand sign) in the comment section. Thanks, Aaliyah!
Been working with a young woman yesterday. And she stated, how she loves the fact that everyone knows each other and how the fans are so well informed. Here is a little contribution of mine:
I lately watched Floor Jansen live in Hamburg. Opening for her was Anneke van Giersbergen.
Rumour says, that listening to Anneke with the Gathering made Floor choose to sing metal. (When you're able to sing everything: there are quite some options ;-)
Floor, during that concert confirmed that it actually was Anneke, to make that decision. Furthermore: when the concert was over, the song played from tape was exactly that one song: "Strange machines" by The Gathering.
Maybe you wanna take a look @ that song, first. "Live at PinkPop Festival" would be my suggestion.
Welcome again to the rabbit hole.
Greetings from the far north of Germany!
Thank you very much for sharing, much appreciated. Thanks for your recommendation too
and yes', I listen to all kinds of music', it's actually what God gives me''
🥰
I remember when I was 19, I got to see DIO on his Last in Line tour 🤘🏼
