DIO - As Long As It's Not About Love (2000 New York)

[@Wajlonis]

He should be taught about in schools as the "greatest rock vocalist that ever stood on the surface of Earth"

[@cathyrichardson8747]

I used to play DIO for my older Pediatric patients

[@robertghanem107]

No there exposed to fake ass manufactured hip hop and pop music. Justin Bieber,and Kayne is mush better.. What shame and the sad part of it all is the weak lame a.. parents allow it to happen.. If only half of these parents exposed the young to wtf they grew up on. METAL/ROCK WILL CONTINUE.....

[@SkyeK-lm9gm]

If I were President, everyone would know & study RJD. From his days of Ronnie & the Prophets to the end..🖤

[@panzerstosspl267]

I simply agree 👍 He was a legend, so amazing voice, stage presentation; this was the man who create the history of music, absolutely fantastic person, without a doubt nr 1, no one could now or ever before be even close to His talent 💪 long live Dio, always in our memory and hearts ❤️

[@vig237]

Very true!

[@simplelife1966]

Such an emotional performance.I miss Ronnie so much.

[@Nizintheartist]

All I can say about Dio is one thing: "Absolute integrity". Dio is one of the greatest singers of all time, his voice is unique, he could never be replaced. His music and his everything was something beyond. I am very lucky to have met him in person.

[@ele7864]

Lucky you

[@jordan9339]

This is not his voice. It's his soul singing. His beautiful soul.

[@liveheavyshows]

Amazing comment, every time I saw Dio I begin to cry is impossible not to cry and this video is amazing.

[@SharonM-w9k]

My God. You are right 👍

[@MrDamz]

A man that was all about the music and giving the fans the best he could. Be that in front of 500 or 50000. A true professional and so badly missed.

Yes me and my daughter. She cried for 2 days over his passing. She was 11 years old. She loved dio. All I could do as a father was tell her he was with god.

God damn dio,first song that makes me cry.And belive me,I DO NOT CRY. Fucking *magician*(ba dum tss) Miss you so much

[@TrutVonHahn]

Everyone talkes about Billie Eilish and other so called "artists" being so Emotional in Songs. Take a listen to this. Holy shit, this is pure feel. Rest in Peace Ronnie, the god of all voices.

[@drekelley2352]

I strongly agree. They dont know even how to make this type of music. They are just what we have to put up with.

[@m1s3ry97]

Do you feel so insecure about your tastes that you need to call them "artist" with quotes instead of appreciating your music? Btw Ronnie would have punched you for this kind of shitty comment.

[@TurtleFL]

This is the best power ballad ever written.

[@covercury]

DIO, was, is and will be the best voice of heavy metal............

[@zeramino]

Man I feel like I want to cry whenever I listen to Ronnie playing on a live show, we LOVE you Dio! Where ever you are!!

He was at our hangout in '97. The Runway Nigjt Club (bar). We got so up close. It was a night I will always remember. 3 of my buddies had a pic taken with him by his bus. 💝 He was gracious and and awesome man.

I’m choked up, hurts like it was just yesterday.

[@MyGemini48]

I love this song so much but this performance gives me chills and goosebumps for hours after I hear it. Dio forever in our hearts \m/\m/

[@FreakinSweet86]

Dio forever! He sits on the throne of Valhalla with his goblet of wine held high saluting his followers. I heard about his bout with cancer from IMDB and I send all my best wishes and prayers to him and his family. I know he will survive, his work on this world is not yet done!!!

[@amirhaziq7247]

I'm happy this kind of music stays underground, not being poisoned with popularity, so the quality is incredible! But, kinda upset that it doesn't get enough recognisition

[@leomdk939]

I understand the feeling, but it's much, much better this way.

[@austinisme2477]

Lmfao Dio is the single most well known and recognized vocalist in metal. Definitely a legend, but the polar opposite of underground.

[@leomdk939]

@@austinisme2477 yeah, in the metal world RJD is a legend, but metal itself is not exactly mainstream popular. Most people walking down the street have no idea who RJD was.

[@austinisme2477]

@@leomdk939 are you kidding me? Metal is one of the most popular musical genres of all time.

Emotional even watching this, the man was one of a kind. Not just an incredible singer and performer, but most important of all, a genius melody and songwriter. \m/

[@gabrielhmorales1]

Melhor vocalista do mundo

[@rodrigorosel]

For those who hasn't heard about Dio having stomach cancer, I tell you about it cause I think we all should pray for him, we must not loose such an amazing talent, it would terrible even more if we consider that he's going through a great period as an artist and enjoying playing with he's band Dio and the revival of the lineup he always loved Dio, Buttler, Iommi and Appice. God bless him.

[@Gingergryphon]

Oh my God, and the crowd SINGING ALONG! Fantastic! Bet that gave him a halfie :)

[@ckc1958]

It doesn't matter which version of this song I hear, he breaks my heart every time!!! I wonder who he's singing it about? He was divorced from his second wife long before Magica was released. How could you not love him?

[@Maddox17302]

Claire K Carro he was divorced 1 time back I the 70s and then starting dating Wendy Dio they were married tell his death.

[@Brooklyn_Ann]

The album "Magica" which this song is from was a story. This was the part where the hero of the story got to make love to his betrothed before he had to retreat himself from society to learn powerful magic to keep them safe. At the end of the album, Dio reads the whole story and he has a wonderful "bedtime story" voice.

[@lauramiettinen808]

This song breaks my broken heart too. It’s obvious you know about broken heart to be able to write this. I am afraid that he was still in love with that woman he divorced, that second one.

[@1524625]

MAGIC, so beautiful

[@dancastro1289]

Every song is a story. He was the best!

[@5ema55unto]

R.I.P ronnie... beautiful soul and needless to say a gift of a voice. You were strickened with cancer at this stage.

[@Dojura]

I became RJD's fan 4 years ago and from this time I've change a lot but his music is still in my heart ;)

[@LEEFORDJAGG]

Could even be better than the studio cut, and that’s brilliant. Ronnie responding here, to the live audience to give a vocal master class and push this song into the stratosphere.

[@Moon_Presence]

when i watch this video tears fall down my face, im still dead inside knowing that a rock god has actually died

[@MsAngeldream]

From the first time we touched with our eyes Only magic could take away my heart I am always afraid for my heart So lay beside me now and tell me lies - sweet lies As long as it's not about love...............

[@jklein17]

One of the greatest Dio songs of all time.

[@PisauraXTX]

I love the double meaning in these lyrics... on the one hand it's about the romance between Eriel and Annica in the story of Magica, and on the other hand it's about Dio's style of writing songs. He left Rainbow because he didn't want to sing about love affairs. But with the last sentence of this song, he shows what his lyrics are all about... "cause maybe it's all about love!"

[@mateusyamaha5035]

Não haverá outro igual .....Dio o mestre da voz poderosa, único !!!

[@ВладимирИванов-л1о]

From the first time we touched with our eyes Only magic could take away my heart I am always afraid for my heart So lay beside me now and tell me lies, sweet lies As long as it's not about love Shall we sail off the edge of the world Fall forever and never look behind But I must keep my heart from my mind Lay beside me now and tell me lies As long as it's not about love Oh the last time we touched with our eyes And the magic was stronger than the heart Oh I can't run away with my heart So lay beside me now and tell me lies As long as they're not about love Shall we sail off the edge of the world Fall forever Take my heart away but, no You can't say words about love If the magic comes between us And we never meet again Take a part of me away 'Cause maybe it's all about love, love

I saw Dio at Caracas concha acustica de bello monte in 2007, the best concert I've seen until now, I had almost 250 concerts but no other will have the sound and precision like DIO concert, after that concert Dio past away and was devastating for me, this song being tears all day long...
