VERY SAD TIME FOR MANY LOVE YOUR HEART GOD BLESS DIO WAS THE MASTER GREW UP ON RONNIE JAMES

I am 61 years old and still get chills every time I hear him belt out those high notes. Ronnie James Dio in Detroit hear we called the little man with the golden voice and I miss his music so much.

[@juanaguirre4833]

As a Professional singer and classical music teacher I consider Dio one of the best singers of all time when you take into account timbre, versatility, musicality, technique, control, diction, storytelling, stage presence, longevity, consistency etc, etc…

[@Pohgrey]

I agree with you, but I'd throw Bruce Dickinson in there, too. I think he's at that level as well.

[@Dashabone]

Loved when he joined "Black Sabbath" the "Heaven and Hell" album, the songs "Lonely is the Word" and "Heaven and Hell", first heard him with "Butterfly's Ball"

Live evil is in my top 10 albums ever.

[@marklr5716]

[@ronnieskynyrdfan458]

Ronnie James Dio played the trumpet as young man. This gives him the ability to control his breathing giving him such a powerful vocal range. He is not screaming, he is using a combination of head voice and glottal compression to “ sing” and not lose his voice.. Rest In Peace Ronnie..

[@luamoliveira3467]

I think differently, I think Dio uses his chest voice a lot combined with his mixed voice (where most vocal coaches highlight a lot in their analyzes regarding the way he distorts his voice), the point is that he had a control absurd vocal and that very rare singers have ever had, he is one of the rare vocalists that in my view and perhaps the only one that I know who had a very high level of vocal manipulation in all the ends of the voice, no one learned to understand and master with so much mastering his own vocal instrument like Dio did for years, it's clear how much he evolved as the years went by and always keeping himself at a high level by singing in very high keys, without losing the momentum of his performances; It's almost unbelievable for a vocalist to reach the age of 65 and reach such high notes with a certain ease, varying between A5 and B5 (a head/whistle voice combination, with such power and compression), his performance of Mob Rules in 2007 demonstrates a lot well that.

[@DanJackson1977]

Metal got heavier, faster, nastier over the years.. but this right here, this sound, this voice... is original, pure heavy metal. This is where it comes from. Ronnie Dio even invented the "metal horns" hand gesture.

[@profanepersonality]

His name is Ronnie James Dio. He sang for Rainbow, Black Sabbath, and Heaven & Hell (which was the guitarist and bassist from Black Sabbth, and the drummer from this band.), as well other lesser known bands. He is also the guy that made the metal horns (🤘) a thing in the rock/metal scene.

In 84 this WAS metal, the genre has changed much since. I saw this show and the tour in 1986 both at the Spectrum, how I wish I could go back to my high school days

[@sean4677]

This is still metal today. The only thing that changed is that different sub-genres were invented. Look up the New Wave of Traditional Heavy Metal (an homage to the New Wave of British Heave Metal from the late 70's and early 80's), it's a bunch of new young bands who are heavily influenced by the sound of Maiden, Priest and Sabbath. Bands like Haunt, Visigoth, Ambush, Wolf, Lucifer, Traveller, Smoulder, my personal favorite though was Satan's Hallow but they broke up already. Also look into the New Wave of Thrash, young bands who are embracing the 80's Slayer/Megadeth/Metallica/Anthrax sound

[@SuperTugz]

⁠​⁠​⁠​⁠@@sean4677 there are so many more bands that I'd like to add to that list: Eternal Champion, Helms Deep, Wytch Hazel, Couldron, Bullet, Iron Griffin, Riot, Striker, the list is endless...and just because the mainstream decided that all metal on the radio and in music publications from now on should follow the formula of Pantera, doesn't mean that's actually been the case at all in the metal underground

[@mr.anderson3369]

In my opinion he is the greatest singer ever. He got his breathing technique from playing the trumpet every day since he was a child, his autobiography 'Rainbow in the Dark: The Autobiography' is a must read. I saw him in concert twice in the 80's, the one time I remember well, I had general admission main floor tickets for 4 of us, we got to The Joe early in the morning, it was in the winter, we were outside in line freezing for hours before they let us in, were got up front to the stage against the barrier for it, definitely one of my most memorable concerts 🤘🏼

Ronnie James Dio was someone who traversed a lot of genres as they were being made. He started doing rockabilly as a teenager, but then he got into a band called Elf. They toured with Deep Purple and then the guitarist for Deep Purple formed Rainbow with the band members of Elf. He stuck for 3 albums and then left the band. He joined Black Sabbath, had 2 albums with them, left to start his solo career which is what you watched. He also did 2 more albums with Black Sabbath and his solo career has 10 albums.

[@nerdiboy5128]

The entire song is basically an examination of the Biblical message of 'The Meek Shall Inherit the Earth.' Of how the ones no one expected much from are ultimately the ones the world will turn to when needed... the question is will they give into the temptation to be petty and hold a grudge against those who looked down on them, or will they rise above their persecutors and become true heroes! Will they stand over the shattered remains of their bullies and gloat about how the tables have turned or let it go and prove their worth? That's what Ronnie means when he asks, 'Are we evil or divine?' Are we as bad as they say we are or are we something more?

[@michaeltucker3655]

Saw him twice on this tour! Huntsville, AL one night and the next night in Atlanta, GA.

What a glorious time yo have been going to concerts. Late 70’s-late 80’s. Having seen this, you can now see that bands like Ratt, Motley Crue, Bon Jiovi , Def Leppard aren’t close to the same level. I think you’d like Badlands. Another great singer who was briefly in Black Sabbath like Dio was. Also, A great guitarist who was in Ozzy Osborne, Jake E Lee.

[@seasurface1610]

I think, the reason why Robert Plant, Ian Gillan and espacially Ronny James reached this level is really, because in this time there was no other chance, it was the time of great voices, awesome songs the writing and the talent was more important than the production etc. they earned from this and as the time came and Abbey Roads etc. reached the level to do experimental productions, what floyd started with, it was like a holy grale that was open for them to make all what they got in their head and what they learnt in the years in the clubs etc. before possible. I really think this is the reason why they are on this high level! If I think of guitar player like Ritchie or Jimi Page, or Hendrix and the first time they were able to loob a riff, I can imagine what happened to them, because they played everything note by note before, they recoreded a whole album in one day, before, without any loob the thing was played from the beginning till the end, without faults, so next level loobs more space for performance and ideas! And then this trained awesome voices back than, especially DIO who ever worked on his voice and expression. It was really like a growing tree.

This is just a ery short cut of his history, everything he did was perfection! The songs Butterfly Ball and Sitting in a dream from Roger Glover ( Deep Purple Bass player ) are showing his full potential in clear voice singing, with Rainbow, he got a very unique setup, Cozy Powell ( one of the best drummers together with Ian Gillan and John Bohnham etc. ) Ritchie Blackmore, etc. We don`t have to talk about black sabbatch Viven etc.!

Ronald James Padavona, Italian American, adopted the Dio surname in early 60's after a Mobster of italian mafia, Johnny Dio. Started the trompet at 5 years old. Started career in 1955 and first record in 1957. Became a singer and Bass player. Dio sang Doo woop and Blues and Jazz crooner and combined with his baroque approach in Ronnie Dio and the prophets, And many variations of that band . In 1967 he created electric elves that became Elves then Elf around 1970. Which was more blues rock and Hard rock oriented, Heavy. Elf did 3 albums between 1972 and 1975, produced By Roger Glover , bass player of Deep Purple mark II. Dio left the bass live after 1974 becoming just Frontman. Dio sang also the famous Love is All on Butterfly Ball from Roger Glover. Elf did numberous times the opening for Deep Purple mark III ( with David Coverdale and Glenn Hughes ). When Ritchie Blackmore ( guitar ) decided to leave Deep Purple after the Stormbringer tour, he took Dio and all the Elf members ( except Guitarist 😄) and form Rainbow. Then even there re some line up changes, Dio did the 3 first albums that were very influencal in what heavy metal elvolved into , Ritchie's blackmore Rainbow ( 1975), the thunderous Rainbow'S rising (1976) and Long Live Rock n roll (1978). Blackmore wanted a more commercial style , Dio left , and joined Black Sabbath after Ozzy firing. He did 2 masterpieces with them, Heaven and Hell (1980) , and Mob Rules (1981). After some issues on the mixing of the Live Evil (1982), Dio with drummer Vinny Appice did formed Dio. Dio did a lot of good albums , among them Holy diver (1983) and Last in line (1984). He did rejoined Sabbath for a very heavy album called Dehumanizer(1992) then left again and pursuit his solo Band In 2006 , The Dio Sabbath incarnation reformed within the moniker Heaven & Hell , and did the Devil you know (2008). Unfortunally Dio passed away in 2010 from a stomach cancer. He was 67 years old ( he s born in 1942).
