Met him once. All the accounts if RJD are absolutely true, I can vouch for that. Dude did NOT need to spend all the time with me and my friend that he did back in 2001, and he was entirely genuine the whole time. In fact, he started the conversation. Guy was a truly great human being

[@jonrussell7577]

I myself met him in his hometown of Cortland, NY, at a dedication of a street named after him, and can concur that he was an awesome guy. There had to be well over 200 fans there when I met him, and he took the time to sign anything people offered to him and talk. I know because I was one of the last people there. He could tell I was a little star struck and totally put me at ease. I’m a fan for life, for sure. 🤘🏻

@@jonrussell7577 Your very fortunate to have had the opportunity to meet Dio. He is someone I always looked up to and still do to this day. My only regret is that I never got an opportunity to see him perform live as he rarely visted my country and when he did the timing was always conflicting with things I had going on at the time. To add insult to injury he was scheduled to play with Iron Maiden about 10 years ago in June which I had tickets to that gig and he passed away 2 months before hand so I was especially devastated as he was one of the artists I wanted to see most. Still despite never getting the chance to see him live or meet the legend himself, he at least left a legacy of legendary music and was always spoken very highly of as a person to his fans.

A little story about ronnie and life advice. Good friend I used to work with was the original drummer for Bang Tango. When they broke up he ended up being Vinnie Appice's drum tech for about 2 years when Dio and Motorhead toured US, Japan and Europe. (When they came to san diego I got to hang with ronnie on his bus and sit in on sound check) Anyway my friend was in germany and hadnt seen the light of day in weeks with the work hours. He did go out drinking with lemmy and ronnie a few times a week. One night hes all depressed literally crying in his beer cuz his GF had given birth to his daughter that day and he couldnt be there. Ronnie said "Hey look, some day, when she turns 18, youre gonna buy her a pretty dress, and shes gonna go out with some guy, whos gonna bend her over, rip that dress, and fuck her right up the ass. And you know what? Theres not a damn thing youre going to be able to do about it." Words of wisdom. And beer.

I had an opportunity so I took it....I asked him if he really enjoyed his stint with Sabbath and he said, "The music was great but the uncertainty was greater." Fucking mind blown, forever.

If I had to form a rock band with the best of the best at every position, I gotta say, RJD was possibly one of my all-time favorite vocalists in Rock'n'Roll. Paul Rodgers of Bad Company also has to be in my top 5 rock voices. He may in fact be my #1 all-time pick, and Ronnie second. Others include Jim Morrison, Ian Gillan of Deep Purple, and John Kay of Steppenwolf (Born to Be Wild). I also love the soulful bluesy rock voice of James Dewar of The Robin Trower Band, but he's sort of in a category all his own. Incomparable, really. And of course, your mileage may vary. I'm sure I have left off guys I shouldn't have so feel free to nominate them. I just can't handle any high voiced guys like Geddy Lee, Steve Perry, Robert Plant, Rob Halford of Judas Priest, Brad Delp of Boston, or Freddie Mercury. They're not on my all-time top rock voice list, and never will be....OUTSTANDING front men though every one of them truly were. If we're going for 'best front men' then I gotta talk about Noddy Holder, Ray Davies, Freddie Mercury, and Mick Jagger, who go out there and completely OWN the crowd. They're just not my idea of a deep, bad ass rock voice. Ronnie James Dio was....for sure.

Some people say different things about Wendy, so I think she gave greatest support to Ronnie and believed in his talent so much. Maybe in their couple he was a heart, a crazy creator, and she was more practical, like a mind. Caring manager and wife. It's extremely important for creative persons. It's just how I feel this.

Un pequeño gigante del heavy metal, un tipo carismático, muy querido en el ambiente, un extraordinario cantante, su mejor versión fue con Black Sabbath. Ya es una leyenda por siempre en el recuerdo de todos los que disfrutamos su voz y su entrega por su amado heavy metal. Gracias Ronnie fuiste uno de los más grandes jamás te olvidaremos. Qepd.

Gone but will never be forgotten...R.I.P Ronnie James Dio.all around great guy and love his music

One of the greatest ever. At 19 I thought it would be great to drop acid and see the Dio show for the Last In Line tour in '85. Got to stand front-ish row. The crew guy handling the pulleys for the dragon's head got tripped up and the head came down within inches of us there in the front rows. I haven't done acid since and I'm very happy to be here.

I'm always fascinated by people's reasons for collecting antique or historical decor. For him, it reminds him of a time when people cared about the things they made, rather than today when so much is mass produced. I, too, hope we can get to a time where artists of all sorts are able to be appreciated as much for their work.

Nothing wrong with living in the past Ronnie. It's a hell of alot better than the present and future as far as i can see. And we still had you making all that badass music! R.I.P. Ronnie

Very Cool. One of if not the Greatest Singers in Metal History. Great Personality, couldn't ask for a nicer guy. My very 1st concert was Ronnie James Dio, The Last in Line Tour in Pontiac Michigan. Twisted Sister opened n basically got boo'd off the stage because Dee Snider said" Alright Chicago" and ofcourse we're in Detroit so that went over Badly for Twisted Sister. But Dio came out n just Killed it. The whole band was just absolutely spot on. Sounded Better than the Album. I'll never forget that show. Pine Knob is where the show was, outside venue. The pavilion was covered but outside of that was a rounded hill, kinda like the bowl, anyways, it rained lightly and I remember seeing this fine ass Beautiful girl just dressed to kill, she slipped n fell in the mud and slid all the way down to the bottom of the hill. Many memories from that show.
