Dio ! Legend Voice and Musician,R.I.P

[@toneman8478]

Great interview. At about 50 minutes in Eddie Is spot on. I remember the days of learning about a new album coming out from a band and going up to the record store to buy it.. it was like going into a toy store as a little kid. Opening up the cd/cassette tape and looking at the inserts and smelling the fresh paper. It just doesnt happen anymore. These younger kids will never get that experience. But anyways cant wait to see the documentary..

[@christianman73]

I hear you about missing time spent in record stores and the experience of buying and opening a physical piece of music. I spent hours in record stores in the '80s and '90s, looking for good music and talking with workers in those stores who really knew their stuff. I miss those days! I still do buy physical music online and still enjoy opening it, but it's not like going to record stores!

[@GigiWillBePirateKing]

Tons of kids including me are doing that nowadays. Especially with vinyl

[@archibaldsalyards926]

Heavy Metal is “HOME.” It’s a heartbeat, primal, survivors music. Metal kids persevere!! It was the music that spoke to anyone who felt / feels judged by others , and puts wings under our walk. Not to mention the talent involved in the music. RJD of course was the dragon slayer king of HM. Such a gift to the world! And he will live on until the world stops. Miss him every day. And forgive me, hard rock/ heavy metal absolutely has to have a gifted singer.

[@andreo.7633]

Once im done with my mental issues ill be oht there

[@australiantruckspotting8883]

[@benbrownjr.7626]

Saw the movie with a friend yesterday. Funnier, and I mean I almost fell out my chair laughing, than you can image. A true love letter, and worth your time.

[@jimp482]

I'm 58 and grew up listening and loving heavy metal. I still listen to it. I saw B.Sabbath with Ozzy and later with RJD then his own band Dio. Skid Row, Cruz all that music was the best to grow up on and yes my son who is 24 now loves all this music as well. It was the best!!!

[@MattC.98]

This documentary made me cry. I didn’t expect to get that emotional. My father got me into DIO as a kid when I was 8 years old and he’s no longer with us due to cancer just like DIO. I thought of all the memories listening to DIO with my father and I wish he could’ve seen this documentary. When DIO was comforting his wife Wendy and telling her “It’s going to be okay.” I got emotional because those were the last words my father said to me the day before he passed. I remember my father giving me a message that DIO passed away just like it was yesterday! REST IN PEACE DAD AND DIO!!!

[@ianoz1]

Love Geezer's one-word answers... hilarious! So looking forward to seeing this tribute to Ronnie, a man who gave me so much. I was blessed to have been invited into his circle on a number of occasions between 1976 & 2007. RIP Ronnie.

[@joelarson79]

Sebastian is good in this .He makes a lot of good points about metal today and music in general

[@shannonrichardson3405]

I didn’t want this to end! I am a lucky guy, I grew up on great music! I am 50 and I have seen everyone on stage band wise! Seeing Black Sabbath live was so flipping awesome! And to be completely honest Skid Row was great live as well. Now I have 4 kids and they love Black Sabbath and my youngest is 14!

[@archibaldsalyards926]

Miss your show Eddie Trunk! Thank you for all the passion!!! You’ve kept Ronnies memory alive!! Hats off my friend.

[@bradleyy432]

Ronnie was so kind and humble. Met him at an in-store on the Dream Evil tour. Took a picture with him which I still have.

[@bobsalterorsouthwestsaltah4959]

Really enjoyed this !!! Can’t wait to see the documentary !!! I basically lived my whole life in NH and was always very proud to say Ronnie was from NH !!! I lived about 40 minutes away from Portsmouth. I was born in 1961 and my older brother and I loved cranking up Black Sabbath !! Years later I discovered Rainbow !!! Really loved a ton of the music from that era. Thanks for a great show to inform us about the movie !! Can’t wait !!! And always was a fan of Sebastian and his phenomenal voice !!!! Loved hearing references to Hailstorm and Slipknot too…. All too cool !!!!!!

[@Splitshot1]

man Bach looks like life has really hammered him.

[@toralm6974]

He look like a smurf

[@Hulkamaniac418]

He’s in his mid 50s 😏

[@paulbooth77]

The Ronnie James Dio stage at Bloodstock UK just goes to show how much we loved this amazing singer. Thank you Wendy for allowing this, and thank you Geezer for your dark lyrics & amazing basslines that founded ALL metal genres. Thank you Sebastian for your contribution in the glam years to heavy meal, I was a big fan, and the youth did indeed go wild ;)

[@godetonter4764]

Who could be more perfect for admitting that Sebastián Bach as a friend

[@starieyes7390]

I've been a fan of metal for 37 years... and ❤️ it still. And I still buy the cd version over download.

[@gilesfamily2653]

50 years old now and been a Metalhead since 1987 when I was 15. Still a great style of music. 3 January 2023

[@azimuth361]

There's so much talk of inclusiveness and multiculturalism and acceptance. Through my life, especially in my formative teen years, I drifted in and out of cliques. One by one I was bounced out of the jocks, the brains, the band geeks, the preppies, the gamers and various other groups because I didn't really fit in for one reason or another. But when I started listening to metal, the metalheads - or "the hoods" as we were called in my high school - accepted me with no conditions. It didn't matter who I was, the color of my skin, how tall I was, the kind of clothes I wore, my accent, my hair, my car, my bank balance. We all just loved metal. Still do.

[@dannymontoya9469]

Metal is for everybody. Us metal heads accept everyone.

[@juliaeckhard2164]

This is the most sedate I’ve ever seen my man Baz ,loving this ,he’s around metal royalty , and he’s being so humble xox

[@troywindle466]

Music has had a massive impact on my life a millions of others, 70s and 80 Rock and Heavy metal and beautiful power Ballard's

[@Hulkamaniac418]

Geezer and Baz’s comments about extreme metal is so spot on 😂

[@poedottaviano6924]

58 now, I actually was naive to start listening to disco..then, a friend gave me a Yes Roundabout cassette, which fully changed me, then started listening to Zep. But it all changed when a friend showed me Sabbath's 'Soul our Soul..' double lp and the woman/cross inside it. Weeks later we had an all night party with my friend playing that album from start to finish, with strobe lights and a dozen of us in his bedroom listening to every note..shaking his house and the entire street. To hear Iron Man and the opening to Black Sabbath with that scene, all of us looking and saying 'Holy Sh*t!!' was just epic!! The entire night was Sabbath ..drinking/drugs/pizza, and i never looked back. Each week bought a few new albums, first all of Sabbath's, of course. Nothing like bringing home a new one, opening it, and listening every note on every track. As a guitarist myself (self thought), it's always been metal, as everyone around me knows, I still blast my metal loud and nobody will ever change that, until I'm 6 feet under. Lol

[@momarock4434]

🙏DIO🙏...The Voice of HEAVY METAL 🎙🤘🍻

[@virtuosodm3327]

Wendy is amazing,For this extraordinary woman to keep Ronnie's memory alive,must (I imagine) be very difficult at times for her,but also very happy . I'm sure Ronnie is watching over her always.My heart goes out to her sincerely 🙏 I listen to Ronnie a lot still,even though I do not listen to too much heavy music anymore,But Ronnie's voice was so powerful and musical,etc...that It's like I need to hear it periodically,I'm sure his spirit is flourishing in the next phase of his life,and I'm sure we as well as Wendy will meet him again!🙏

[@Killerklownsfromouterspace]

To say I can’t wait to watch this documentary is a complete understatement! 🤘RIP RJD.

[@Davy.J.Y]

I have just watched the movie Docu, it was a wonderful and enjoyable watch . And yes, it got very emotional at the end.

[@latentsea]

Geezers wife made him go to the interview, but once there, he liked it.

[@pjr427]

I remember when i was about 12, my mom's friend helped us move and left behind a Holy Diver tape. I saw the cover and was like whoaaaa I popped it in and hit play. Dio fan for life.

[@edwardbliss8931]

Rock really needs to be central to our culture again. After 20 years, I would've expected commercial pop and rap to crash and burn, but it hasn't, and this actually has me concerned. We need another music revolution. Something, anything, would be nice right about now.

[@theloaner4378]

Well, thanks to a wonderful thing called Diversity, great established traditions have to be crushed to promote and force feed garbage, and not just in music.

[@Jason-to5cs]

It’s dead and gone. Don’t get your hopes up. There’s a reason fender and Gibson are going under.

[@ericv7720]

It's coming back. You don't hear dubstep or mumble rap that much anymore, but metal concerts are still selling huge and there are tons of young bands coming up!

[@JarJarBinks4ever]

it's because there isn't a music industry like there was and never will be in the Internet age.

[@hattorihanzo2275]

Maiden/Dio/Motorhead tour about 20 years ago was killer. Went to the Chicago gig. I was sick and could not stand but no regrets.

[@briansf7012]

Eddie is so right. Metal music gets ingrained in your soul like no other music. I'm 51 and I listen to Metal and Hard Rock 75% of the time. Such an awesome discussion. To bad it wasn't 2hrs.

[@beandipcartography]

The importance of rock, in the world of rock. The metal of rock.

[@davidbarrington6000]

I was lucky enough to see Dio when he replaced Ozzy for the Heaven and Hell album. I saw him at the LA Coliseum in 1980. Get this lineup....Cheap Trick - Journey - Black Sabbath - Molly Hatchet and The Babys! kzbin.info/www/bejne/iHfRmmlpe5l0sNE I was blown away. Dio singing NIB...wow! I have been a fan ever since. I will testify to the fact that, avid concert-goer that I was, I never saw the devil horn sign until that day, which maybe isn't proof itself, but I will say the crowd caught on and threw the sign back to him! Saw him again in Houston with Heaven and Hell, just 8 shows before he passed on. What a warrior and one hell of a vocalist. The voice of an Angel and Devil in one.

[@aneesall]

Can’t wait to see the movie was at Nashville During Sacred Heart tour and was a expienence that’s still with me today Dio puts everything from his heart and soul in his singing and writing most powerful concert ever till this day nothing has touched that tour!!!!

[@stephenmcgraw8871]

Every time I`d see Frankie Banali in the early `00s I`d always bring up to him the possibility of a Hear`N`Aid reunion and after awhile he actually started talking to Ronnie James about doing something akin to a get-together,hopefully getting anyone available......I was 15 in `86,when the whole Live Aid stuff was happening,so Hear`N`Aid was HUGE for me--I would rent the VHS tape whenever I`d have enough lawn mowing money,so it was a dream to actually talk with Frankie about the project and the interest in getting some type of reunion going....Obviously it never happened,never will........not in this realm anyway........Love you,GOD Bless you, Ronnie and Frankie

[@logue444]

Great discussion. I actually sat all the way through it, which I hadn't intended to do. Loved Ronnie, excited to see the film.

[@palmergriffiths1952]

Funny thing Heavy Metal has always been misunderstood and ridiculed and the fans as well. Being a fan myself since I was a kid now at 47 years of age people in the Metal scene are some of the deepest, nicest down to earth people you could meet and from my own personal experience when people outside of it actually talk to people associated with the genre are quite surprised that we are not the stereotype that we ( Metalheads/ Headbangers) are perceived as. Ronnie James Dio was beyond Stereotypes. He was down to earth generous to his fans and deep and insightful. I miss him

[@tracyhazelton1878]

Watching this I was just cackling! OMG I have never laughed so hard for so long! I thought it was the best thing I have ever seen! Especially the part where Geezer was talking about being at Grandparents Day and the 10 year olds were playing Iron Man at the Catholic School! That had to be such an ego trip!

[@TheRadioAteMyTV]

So strange that when they talk about modern metal there is no mention of the modern giants like Sabaton, Nightwish or Within Temptation. Those bands are killing it in metal and very much thriving.

[@MetalLee1234]

What metal means to me; It’s HOME.

[@beready992]

As for Bach's comment about there's never going to be another Neil Peart because no one wants to put in the time to be that good a player, I think he's showing his own 'back in my day' mindset. I've come across some young drummers who have put in the time and effort are extraordinarily talented. One drummer I'm very enthusiastic about is Paulina Villarreal of The Warning. The woman is a force of nature on her kit and she's only going to get better and better at her playing. (Actually all the Villarreal sisters are very accomplished musicians.) Halestorm is another band that continues to amaze. Epica and a host of new bands are just starting to flex their considerable musical muscles. The talent is out there.

Thing is, these guys can actually play and often have their own style of playing. Also those 70s albums had nuance from the engineer at the mixing desk. With a DAC dual bin ear buds and any of the Free or Sabbath albums on lossless HQ audio; it sounds like you're in the studio with them. Pr

I’ve been metal for just over 40 years now, because of RJD. I was a 13 year old kid, I begged my Mom to let me go see Sabbath on the Mob Rules Tour. Much to her chagrin, I went anyway! I only got see RJD live on only 4 different occasions, but they were all epic! By chance I got to meet Ronnie at O’Hare Airport in Chicago in 2006, he was with Wendy, such a genuine and great person, I was starstruck, look out 🤘

Sebastian is right about the crushed sound of mass produced digital music. They compress it to a near flat line, no highs and lows, it's all mid range from left to right and those robot singing effects are just boring and obviously inhuman. When you hear a song that is not compressed it sounds totally Indy, or early 80s metal, because Indy people don't crush their sound, and by the mid 80s digital came along and with it mass compression. Protools should be renamed squashing tools.
