Dio (+Lemmy, Joey DeMaio): Interview (Monsters of the Millenium Tour)

Söndagsöppet SVT 1999

[@Debiruman1666]

Fun fact, they're all bass players, even Dio, which used to be a bassist in his early career.

[@Vaedh]

Dio played trumpet too

[@Dehumanizer3000]

Dio still played bass, he played bass on demos for his albums like strange highways, angry machine and magica etc etc

[@oliviermalhomme9923]

But Lemmy was a guitar player before turning to bass

[@bubbeentertainment5345]

I agree with rest in peace to both tho I wouldn’t say “gone too soon”. Lemmy and Dio both lived long adventurous badass lives that most musicians who actually do die too soon don’t often get to fully experience, and died much later at the ages most do die nowadays (70 and 67 respectively) I’m not saying that to be negative just saying they didn’t leave us early before they got to show their full potential; they LIVED their full potential.

“It’s all rock and roll, as far as I’m concerned.” - Lemmy

[@oulosvie]

Lemmy always said that.

[@ryanjacobson2508]

​@@oulosvie Because "metal" was an insult in the 70's, that's why Lemmy (and other 70's bands) hated being called metal.

i think he was wrong, half of the metal bands also have a classical influence- love Lemmy though.

[@MrMusicopath]

actually motorhead is more rock and roll than metal

[@blacksabbathmatters]

It is more akin to ac/dc, which is straight up rock and roll, id never call motorhead or ac/dc metal, just hard rock. Motorhead sounds like metal because of the way lemmy plays.

[@joncbartlett]

I still consider them to be metal, but if I had to name one band that embodied the essence of rock n roll, it would be Motörhead.

[@aaaarrrgggghh]

There is a lot for rock and roll in his early music, but it is true that later on there was more and more metal. Iwould not take Motorhead if I was to choose a rock and roll band. I'd choose Status Quo.

[@ezezezezujh3EARHG]

So, I was with them on this tour. In the comments some idiots try to say that Lemmy is this and that, or DIO is this and that, and of course people who never met him say Joey is an asshole. It shows how stupid some people are. These guys got along pretty well. Joey and DIO knew each other since years back. Joey was working with Sabbath in 1980. MANOWAR had been on tour with Motorhead before. Just imagine this line up instead of acting like morons. DIO opened, Motorhead followed and MANOWAR headlined. That tour was THE tour. By the way, Joey is the nicest person off stage. They all are/were.

[@sherriffbridgessteele667]

​@@melodiaseternas4132 When people say that Joey is very humble offstage, it's true! Being humble and polite person offstage with the fans is different from being in fight with other bands and musicians. Dio also was very humble with his fans, and also could smash different musicians, like with Ozzy. So for Joey being jerk with other musicians is totally ok. This concerns the business side of music and competition between bands.

[@afterburner2869]

As loud and in your face as Motörhead was, as much power and ferocity that Motörhead played , as heavy and fast as Motörhead was, I think of them as heavy metal. I will have to respectfully disagree with Lemmy on that one. If you want to split hairs, heavy metal is rock n roll, a very extreme form of rock but rock nonetheless.🤘🏻
