Interesting timestamps: 0.11 An Angel is sitting on the roof of the old barn 0:14 They tell me to look it over so I did and this is what I seen 0:32 The drummer was standing, now he is sitting 0:52 Ronnie must have gotten heart broken 1:05 The camera guy gets side tracked on a girls butt 1:10 Still sidetracked by butts 1:25 The sound of Seagulls are used to make it sound like girls are going crazy over the drum solo 1:45 The Angel sitting on the barn roof, sees Ronnie Dio and the Profits future and bounces out 1:48 The band has an epiphany and Ronnie is debating on becoming Ronnie James Dio or just Dio 1:50 Twirking is born on a farm This is what lead to Ronnies previous thought 1:59 RJD looks like if John Travolta and Glen Danzig had a love child 2:00 John Stamos sees the bands future 2:04 Drummer is looking at camera guy like hey man you were not filming us, all you filmed were the girls asses, this was a music video shoot not a skinamax feature. One day, there will be a market for band videos, and its going to spar on a plethora of fake reality shows that cause society to pretend like they live in one big frat house. Also starting at 2:05 The sound of the bands future is captured Hope you find these useful.

I had the pleasure of meeting Ronnie and he was one of the nicest people I've ever met and an amazing singer. 🤘

[@Swanlord05]

This was good stuff

[@KingAceHernandez1291]

Dio playing with a SG Bass looks awesome

[@azimuth361]

"Hey, want to join my band?" "Sure." "Can you sing harmony?" "Oh yeah." "The lead singer is Ronnie James Dio." "I quit."

[@Glamosapien]

Eh he probably was no were near his peak ability at this point

[@jasonrackawack9369]

Wow and I thought Elf was a deep dive, very cool, sounds like a Monkees tune!

[@dumpygoodness4086]

i've been watching all the MONKEES episodes free on YT....and I was stunned at how the show is just as funny today and has aged so well, but also the RADICAL idea that every show is about SCAM ARTISTS in the music biz and other con artists in society! (Tha'ts pretty cynical!)

[@MSicko]

Funny you say that ,because I thought the one guitarist had a " Nesmith " vibe goin' on.

[@jasonrackawack9369]

@@MSicko I thought that too, kind of looked like Richie Blackmore with the hat too......spooky!

[@poppycock6572]

Take a look at when he was with "Elf". I had an album by Elf, saw Dio on the Last in Line Tour... I believe it was 1982-ish... was in the autograph Line after the show and handed him the Elf album to sign... 🤣 You should have seen his face (like he saw a ghost!) He laughed his ass off and signed "To Jeff, Thanks for the laugh!!! All the best, always.) Big memory for a young metal fan!

[@theofficialdiamondlou2418]

Consummate professional !!!! Got to play with him for a few mins in the 80’s. Long story.

[@jeffknudson9754]

Good song. Absolutely Love Dio. “Hey, Look Me Over” sorta has that Archies feel to it.

It looks like the socially distanced backyard rehearsals we were having last summer out here in the sticks of Oklahoma 🎸🥁🎤🔊🎶 It actually sounded great playing outside instead of being cooped up in the shop.

[@mykeh7145]

He started in 1958! Back when Elvis was the King! LoL that's a looong career. 👍😎

1967 - A time when anyone could film an anonymous butt without being prosecuted.

[@ColtraneTaylor]

They still do, all the time, GOP safe spacer.

[@IronSteam1]

@@ColtraneTaylor I'm not American, so I wonder what is the link between me and GOP... (yes, the planet is vast beyond USA borders). I was born in 1967 and I can testify that liberty, which I tasted in my youth has vanished forever. No-one born after 2000 can imagine how free we were before that decade.

Great video I had seen his videos and heard his music from the 1950s all the way up to his Passing

[@richbeach9664]

pausing at 2:01 I can just imagine Ronnie giving the devil horns :)

[@grilledspaghetti]

The constant butt distractions made me realize how much Ronnie looks like John Stagliano. :D

[@tahcria]

Haha! Oh good grief!

It’s funny listening to this and then listening to “Neon Knights” or “Holy Diver” lol. I’m glad Ronnie made the change, a change for the better.

[@manny2fs]

Change for the better? Only because we were blessed to have that time period.... but you have to respect this music also....

[@angru5oklok]
