Dio wasn't even in his prime at this point, and he was still better than the majority. Watch him when he was younger in a band called Rainbow, singing 'Mistreated' live in 1977. One of the very best vocal performances of all time. Please check it out.

[@RCullis47]

Actually, Ronnie is from upstate, New York. Check out Dio in the 80's with Vivian Campbell on guitar. Viv is really fiery. Before Dio, you can check Ronnie out in Ritchie Blackmore's Rainbow. I recommend the song Stargazer. He also replaced Ozzy in Black Sabbath for a couple of very good albums. The band that brought him to the attention of Blackmore when his band Elf was opening for Deep Purple. Elf was also a really good band although a little different from his later music collaborations. RJD, IMHO is the greatest male metal vocalist ever.

[@randywissler9923]

Definitely have to do Heaven and Hell when he was with Sabbath!!

[@littlejimmy7402]

A very good friend of mine was from Phoenix, NY (upstate). By all accounts, RJD was a humble and friendly man. There are multiple cities in the U.S. that celebrate a "Dio Day". Also, the man was tiny. He could fit in a pocket.

[@steveh7108]

Definitely difficult to say who is the greatest because it's even difficult to classify heavy metal or simply Hard Rock. Deep Purple, Scorpions, Iron Maiden, can all easily be contenders for great singers in the metal category. When you cross that gray area into rock and a hard rock there is definitely many more singers that could arguably be the greatest. One thing that I will say is the late 60s through the early 80s was a fantastic time for music.

[@buddybangs9445]

He's from New Hampshire...

[@RCullis47]

@@buddybangs9445 True. He was born in Portsmouth due to his father's military commitment but his family moved back to Cortland when he was like three. Though born in NH all his childhood development and exposure to influences and all his schooling was in Cortland, NY. He has even said in interviews that he is a native NYer. So, true, he was born in NH but shortly after birth, he grew up from a toddler in his immediate family's hometown of Cortland, NY

[@nonseinormale]

RJD obviously was one of the greatest metal singer ever...but above all a down to earth man,a very cool guy who never disappointed his fans...i remember i met him in a festival here in Italy in 2005 (Tradate Iron Festival),he was the headliner and his show ended around midnight...well,after a short break, he and his mates in the band sat down in the meet and greed corner to meet the fans until 2:30 am...until the last one... and drinking some good italian with us too...truly a legend and a legend never dies!!! \m/

Dio is hands down one of the all time best rock/metal vocalists

[@GodlessScummer]

Don't know if anyone told you but the famous 🤘 hand gesture that's so associated with metal is something Ronnie James Dio is credited with introducing.

[@simonmcglary]

There’s a story that Ronnie James Dio never done vocal warm ups! He just launched in to the first song and with that and his expressiveness is probably the root of the phrase “All hail Dio!” He also he had a way with fans as well. “For the artist each fan is a couple of minutes, for the fan is an opportunity of a lifetime!”

[@mojobag01]

I recall him saying his warm up was half a joint and a bottle of beer.

[@m.ericwatson968]

Ronnie played the trumpet in his youth, he said it help him with his singing later.

[@MrHeavy67]

You stole my line of words.Thanks than i know i haven't misheard it.

[@mustangdebbie56]

A little Dio history: He grew up listening to opera singers like Mario Lanza and played trumpet early. While in high school, he joined a band, the Vegas Kings, in 1958, and played trumpet. Soon he became the lead singer and played the bass. His band went through several names over the years. He started out singing doo wop, blues rock, and rock covers. Check out Ronnie and the Prophets with Love Potion #9 (cover). By the 70s, his band Elf were opening for Deep Purple. Try Nevermore from their first album. Once he joined Richie Blackmore's Rainbow, the songs became harder rock and proto-metal. I'll let others tell you about his progression as a metal singer after that. Enjoy!

[@SoulSingerDiscovers]

Thank you for this Debbie 😊💪

[@walterhennerman2061]

After Rainbow he joined Black Sabbath and then of course Dio.

[@roblaw4554]

@Walter Hennerman Absolutely correct, yet soo deceptive...so few words to describe so much greatness over so much time. Dio had several careers-worth of contribution and significance (when so many struggle for a single, brief moment of relevance), and it's hard for many to truly understand the breadth and impact of this single performer's everlasting work on the larger rock landscape.

[@johncassinari9175]

Dio is metal. And he’s American. Born in Portsmouth NH and moved to upstate NY at a young age. Fantastic as always. Also. Check out Nightwish Phantom of the Opera with Floor Jansen singing.

[@SoulSingerDiscovers]

I certainly will! Thanks John 😊🌸

[@TwoTrakMind]

RJD was the classiest of the metal gods. He adored his fans and was so appreciative of them. He was also an extremely intelligent man and very well spoken. I was a teenager in the 80s and have a huge regret that I never saw them in concert.

[@BeatniksVids]

Seeing DIO live was always an excellent "show", got your monies worth for sure. He was just born with a voice, never even warmed up before a performance.

[@TerryVogelaar]

My fav Dio song is "Don't Talk To Strangers" because it shows both his tenderness and his growling. The lyrics are amazing too. To me, it is about bad advice. Other masterpieces are Rainbow's Stargazer and Black Sabbath's Heaven and Hell.

[@deepzepp4176]

For me, Dios best period was when he was with Rainbow. He and Blackmore had a unique connection. The dynamics of his vocals were incredible, from - Stargazer to Catch The Rainbow, Gates Of Babylon to Rainbow Eyes and live Misteated - Just great vocal performances.

[@philstone3859]

I’m the Old School, I was a teenager when this music came out. I saw Ronnie James Dio in every band he was in except for Elf. BLACK SABBATH several times, Almost every DIO tour, RAINBOW etc. I must have seen him in concert 15 times over the years! Killer live performer with killer live bands!

[@dmj4966]

Love that u are finding Dio...a great rabbithole, like Metallica, Sabaton, Nightwish, Pink Floyd...for a singer with almost zero formal training he had great instincts.

[@jeffreycook5186]

I love everything Ronnie James Dio has been involved with. I cried the day that he passed away. I was lucky enough to see him many times with Black Sabbath, his own band Dio and Heaven And Hell. You should definitely give a listen to Stargazer from Rainbow, Sign Of The Southern Cross from Black Sabbath and Egypt (The Chains Are On) from Dio. And that’s just scratching the surface. That man has made a lot of amazing music over the years. You have a lot of great music to listen to. I love your reactions!

RIP, you legend Ronnie. Until next time 🙂

[@m.ericwatson968]

Funny story about this track, (maybe someone has already mentioned it,) Ronnie thought this song was a bit too "pop" when he composed and recorded it for his first solo album, "Holy Diver", he wanted to take a razor blade to the master tape but his band mates talked him out of doing that, saying he was mad and it was a brilliant track; it became his biggest major radio single.

[@chrisbanks6659]

If this rocked your boat, perhaps dive into some earlier incarnations of RJD (American fella not British). I wouls certainly recommend Mistreated (Live 1977 Munich) with the band Rainbow and anything from the Black Sabbath Albums Heaven & Hell or The Mob Rules. The man had THE most remarkable voice with very little traiing. Used to be a trumpet player so I guess that's where his breath control. Great fry, legato, distortion and vibrato - sometimes all in one. Welcome to what could possibly be the biggest rock rabbit hole you're likely to discover!! Have a fun journey, lass. 🤗🤘

This would be a great double reaction to a song Done separately course.

Ritchie Blackmore left deep purple to form a band with DIO Rainbow. So yes do Rainbow mistreated live in Munich 1977. In a separate reaction to deep purple mistreated live 1974 at the California jam. You will absolutely love both versions.

Great reaction again. Ronnie James Dio is one of my favourite male singers of all time. I had the good fortune of seeing him live with the first line-up of DIO back in 1983. Great concert. When he was in Rainbow (the band Deep Purple original guitarist Ritchie Blackmore founded after Deep Purple) he made some classic masterpieces like "Stargazer", "Gates of Babylon", "Long Live Rock 'n' Roll", "Tarot Woman", "Catch the Rainbow" and lots more. Then he made the classic album with Black Sabbath after Ozzy'z departure "Heaven and Hell" - Pick anyone from that album.

Thank you my dude! Yeah I’m really looking forward to getting more Dio and Rainbow on the go. I feel like I’ve found something really cool that I can get my teeth into 😊😊

Good ol' Ronnie, RiP. He was one of the best. Heaven and Hell, Stargazer and Man on the Silver Mountain are great songs. But Children of the Sea is my favorite! Cool that you're liking Dio! \m/

[@shspurs1342]

Apparently as the story goes. Ronnie never had any vocal training or singing lessons.

A great scotish metal (and mainly not drunk) vocalist is Doogie White, who also was in Rainbow and also Yngwie Malmsteen's Rising Force..

first time viewer. i love you sing along too.

[@christopherplasse5101]

You need to watch DIO Heaven and Hell Live from Philadelphia 1986, on of the top live performances of any band you will see!

[@mcasualjacques]

well that's a good sized wall of Marshalls

I was so fortunate to have gotten to know the man I think is the best vocalist the planet has provided us. Miss him so much. In fact I'm on the Evil Or Divine DVD. I'm in the denim jacket. Still have all the patches and signed.

Again, great analysis and a good attitude towards the music of a , for you, new artist. Sadly never got to experience Dio live myself. I think I've seen Jinjer on your list, so I'll add another Ukrainian based band: Ignea "Nomad's Luck" The amount of metal bands/artists out there for you to discover is a Mariana's Trench amount of them ;) Of course including the less and far more extreme ones.

[@SoulSingerDiscovers]

No one has suggested them. Consider them added 👍😊

[@TheRiconegro]

Dio suggestions? Don't Talk To Straners. Also, I can't wait to see you flip your lid with Rainbow.

R.I.P. Ronnie James Dio.. My Sicilian Brother from another Mother…
