It took a long time for me to realize that Ronnie was an actual human being. I always pictured them opening a magic chest before the show, a bunch of smoke coming out, two lights shining through it when Dio opened his eyes, then they carried him to the stage and that sound would start to come out. It wasn't until I had the pleasure of sharing a beer with the man that I realized he ate, drank, and shat just like the rest of us!
What a great sense of humor Dio had! Every time when he's joking all the people in the room are almost dying of laughter😂 And one person (Vivian) said some years ago that Ronnie was angry the whole Sacred Heart tour... Doesn't matter... Fantastic footage, great band!
WoW, Bill Metralexis?! He's DIO'S the BIG (Fat) Security Dude in this Video.I sometimes wondered what ever happened, became of the Guy Dave spoken/Sang of on the Van Halen Diver Down Song, "Big Bad Bill Is Sweet William Now". Still Remember meeting him, about a Year Before this '86 Video hanging out a few times Smokin' some good herb, at my Bass Playin' Buddy' Julio Shampoolio Pad he shared with his Porn actress Sister, Lisa Melendez (R.I.P.), up Whitley St. in Hollywood. For both Julio and Myself, both Guitar & Bass Playin', Slayer Hell Awaits Band Member Lookin', Metal Loving 16-17 year olds, Bill Metro would Have our full attention, Tripping Out, on the edge of Our Seats, telling us hilarious and crazy shit from his Life & years being in the Music Industry Workin for some big names in the Biz Security for DIO's Band, with David Lee Roth & Van Halen, etc, etc'.I know/see, Rough Cutt Drummer Rockin' Dave Alford round town here & there, who were very much a part of the DIO World, Touring with, etc, cool guy, but one day I asked Rockin' Dave; "Yo Dave!, whatever Happened to that FAT Mo-Fo', 'Bill Metralexis'/ DIO Security Dude?!? and Dave thinks He Got/Was Killed some Years Ago!, but hadn't really heard anything about what happened or specifics?!?
Besides the amusement, this is sad. In 1986, Dio was a legend, and he sold tons of records, but his crew and backstage area looked like crap, goddam... Where did the cash go? Some of it probably vanished in WD:s pockets. Never ever use your partner as manager.
