Lowman Posted May 17, 2010 Share Posted May 17, 2010 Ronny James Dio died this morning after a long bout with stomach cancer. I think that almost every hard rock/heavy metal band was influenced by this legendary performer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lowman Posted May 24, 2010 Author Share Posted May 24, 2010 The word "Icon" gets overused in music, but, I can't think of a better moniker to bestow on Ronnie James. Holy Diver was my first "heavy metal" album. I wore the grooves out listening to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkBirkett Posted May 24, 2010 Share Posted May 24, 2010 Sad I've seen Dio in three different bands in concert= Rainbow, Black Sabbath, and as a solo artist Dio. All three rocked, and he was always on top of his game and in the rock world that is hard to do. R.I.P. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
