Well stomach cancer killed him he was a KILLER singer since the early days I last saw him with Black Sabbath four years ago. I know many do not care but I will miss him and always respect him R.I.P Ronnie James Dio dead at age 67 doing Heavy Metal. Its goes on and on the cycle Heaven and Hell PS The punk ass baptist church plans to picket his funeral. These are the same sorry excuses that picked veteran funerals who were sent to die by the government. They hold banners and say "God hates Fags" I am not a homo sexual. But again who are these living peices of SHIT given the right to insult someone so deeply? I will piss on every church for the EVIL they inflict on humanity. If you are not infringing on another rights do what you want. I will call you out .....you better believe that. Those who lie and degrade humanity do no deserve any mercy. Violence is not the answer. I will not tolerate those who chose to judge based on MYTHOLOGY they insult my intelligence. As well as the well being of all Humanity. So to the West what ever Baptist Church FUCK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You are already in hell with your delusions and your mental assault on mankind are no different than a terrorist with a physical bomb. You PUNKS try to use mental bombs but they will only detonate if you fall for there BULL SHIT. They are easy to defeat all you have to do is beleive whats is real. Baptist who are you a bunch of RED NECKs whose minds have been washed out so many times not ONE original thought remains.

Right on Mr. Mojorising. Dio was always a class act. He had such fire when he sang, but was such a nice guy in every interview I ever saw. I listened to Heaven and Hell recently, and some of those songs are pretty deep. As far as the church that is going to picket his funeral just to get a little press - NO CLASS! I wonder if any members of their congregation disagree with their actions?
I believe everyone in the Westboro Baptist Church are one family. We should not associate them with every Baptist church... I am sure there are many Baptists who appreciate Dio. This thread has at very least inspired me to look more into Black Sabbath and Rainbow. So, thanks Mr. Mojorising. [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=64coD-rx9sk"]YouTube- Dio - Holy Diver[/ame]
I will never forget the time I won tickets to the Last in Line tour. Took the Q96 radio station PARTY Bus from Orlando to Tampa Florida to the show.

i hope the gods of metal shine down and melt all of the wbc into a lake of gore. a bit harsh but dio was one of the reasons i got into music and the reason i ever listened to any metal. he was a hero to me and this makes me deeply angry. then again live and let live, maybe one day the people of the wbc will become reasonable, good willed people. maybe
The WB Baptist have already melted themselves into a pool of liquid ignorance. Harsh no way my Brother they deserve it and it is churches like them that inspire me to fight against such beliefs......I am harsh to much sometimes I will admit, but someone has to speak up. The rest of the Sheep are herded up and run silent to slaughter house. I will not be joining them. Peace Friends .
This is a old one before Dio was with Sabbath when it can out from the ULTRA CLASSIC Black Sabbath Paranoid This is G.C. after all and this is the original Cannabis song. With REAL drum solo no electronic fake drums. The cool thing about real drums is its never exactly the same twice.....I miss that old school Jazz and Blues that gave birth to Metal. A few of the old schoolers are still around see B.B. King LIVE before is to late.
