[@m.ericwatson968]

Ronnie was great at audience interaction and it wasn't stage shtick, he was genuinely involved and engaged with them at every show, he really wanted the audience to feel close, connected and engaged with the music and the concert experience, no matter how large or small it felt intimate.

[@jessluxsozzy]

Dio just draws your full attention. He is a captivating performer. His ability to make you pay attention with your ears is matched by his ability to draw your eyes towards him.

[@jeremiahrose4681]

DIO is amazing, so easy to listen to just takes you to a different place.

The studio version has a beautiful acoustic medieval style outro that is worth listening to on it's own.

You can never go wrong with some Ronnie. Dio was the first concert I ever saw 🤘🤘. I hope you've heard the studio version. RIP RDJ

[@jalkabre5904]

Well that made my morning. Great call out on the sound and lighting crew. For something different with Dio, check out some of his earlier work either with Ronnie Dio and the Prophets (songs like "Blue Days, Blue Nights" or "Walking in Different Circles") or the band Elf (songs like "Wonderworld" and "Never More"). These are good examples of his evolution.

[@wtglb]

YES! I’ve been saying this here and on other reactors channels!

Dio's voice has been described as a manifesto in how to sing well.

[@trulsdirio]

I recently showed a friend Ronnies music and she was stunned to find he had no classical training.

[@waynefinnicumbb7218]

I've seen a few opera singers react to Ronnie's singing and fall in love with his voice. I've seen many vocal coaches react to his singing and were mesmerized by his voice. Makes me feel good knowing that what I grew up listening to is now catching up with today. Ronnie would be surprised and absolutely love all the reactors loving his vocal range and voice. I'm so glad so many people istening to Dio on here are now Ronnie's fans.

[@juanaguirre4833]

I studied vocal performance to become an opera singer and got to see Dio live in the late 90’s and was immediately hooked. And yes, as a professional singer and voice teacher I still think he’s a vocal god!

[@waynefinnicumbb7218]

@@juanaguirre4833 that is cool. I never got the chance to see him live, and back then I listened to him a little bit, I was mostly into the heavier stuff like Metallica, Megadeth, Slayer, etc. But when I got a little older, I found a brand new Dio concert dvd at a yard sale, still in plastic, for $1. I bought it, got home and watched it, and was hooked ever since. I have it packed away because that is one of my prized dvds, and I don't want anything to happen to it.

Ronnie growled too much in this version. His live Dio versions were better. The sudDIO version was the best.

I am so glad to see you react to this. Got a memory flashback by watching! At the age of 11 in the summer of 1980...I picked up this cassette and put it in my Sear Roebuck catalog radio cassette tape player. (I worked to pay for -cost $50) . Sat there in the hot sun and played it all day every day. I listened to 2 albums that summer ... Heaven and Hell -Black Sabbath and Harvest - Neil Young. Long Live Rock n Roll !!

Dio is the standard by which all rock singers are measured.

[@michaelrosa5007]

That 2005 version of this for me its one of the best.

[@helkas3316]

If you really want a live song of DIOs singing talent, please listen to "Children Of The Sea" from the "Live Evil" album. That one version of that song epitomizes Dio's singing abilities.

[@starburstppl]

Absolutely LOVED when he joined Black Sabbath!!! Their entire catalogue is fire!!! I am literally in Heaven watching this man perform. Ronnie IMO never lost his vocals as he got older. He was like fine wine...only got better as he aged. His last performance with "Heaven & Hell" formerly known as Black Sabbath was August 29, 2009. Please check out this song from that concert. He sounded glorious. Sadly nine months later he passed away. He is sorely missed. Here is the link to that song. It's called "Bible Black." kzbin.info/www/bejne/gZ2xknWnjraFatk

[@miguelfg93]

I wish he would've added to the studio version the whole "black sheep" improvised part he only did live.

[@MsBenlane]

he seems to have brought the malocchio into heavy metal. picked up from his italian grandmother who would make it to ward off the evil eye.

This will piss some maybe many off , Dio is the best singer for Metal or Rock. Way , way more powerful and very dedicated. R.I.P. Legend.

[@hrblsh]

Dio was one of the best singers ever. And he also worked with some of the most incredible guitarists of all time. Ritchie Blackmore, Tony Iommi, and Vivian Campbell to name a few. Here’s a live version of one of my favourite songs from the classic Dio band lineup of Campbell, Bain, Schnell, and Appice. Rock n’ Roll Children! kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y2SWd32Fdqp4jpY

Obviously, Dio is a god, but when it came to interacting with the crowd, he was more of a vicar.

Even though i love Ozzy...Heaven and Hell is my fave Black Sabbath album

[@HellBrYnger]

like ronnie once said, "it's not about the size of the pencil, it's about how big you write your name."

[@TheTwitchybird]

Tell me a modern day singer than can sing this clean with no altering of the vocals, you can't.

[@RltchieI]

Can’t imagine Ozzy doing call & respond like that! This is a strange version of this track as it appears to have fake audience cheering added to the audio. In the original the audience was very low in the mix either by design or because the mics didn’t pick them up & this very much sounds like canned cheering has been added for some reason. It doesn’t even sound like rock concert cheering, more like a game show audience.

[@stevenboyce4136]

[@luamoliveira3467]

Perfect comment, many don't have that much musical knowledge at a certain point and they can hardly understand Dio's vocal nuances; Ronnie in this version, as well as the lyrical singing teacher Elizabeth Zharoff herself also mentioned, that Dio is singing different styles here, a little soul, gospel, blues, jazz, folk and in addition to this classic style, this performance is a true musical lesson.

[@soradicalreticsandmonitors2390]

Mistreated blows this away it’s when Dio is in his prime please Mistreated

Yes, I think he was at the peak of his vocals with Rainbow

Hello Ken! Can you react to the song “Le Manu” by Shepherds Reign? It’s a heavy metal Samoan band and I think you’ll like it!

[@donnikubbitz2146]

\m/ = "Malloic" or something similar. Italian hand gesture that he says he got from his grandmother (from Italy). It can mean something like the finger when someone cuts you off driving or something it's like the devil eye's cast onto you. It also means something good and it is always situational. His story. But it has absolutely nothing to do with "Devil worship". HAHAHAHA Lots of people thought that.

(Black Sabbath and Blue Oyster Cult) and fortunately Dio was with them at the time. The only time I liked Black Sabbath. If you haven't done it yet you MUST do "Children of the Sea" He really kills that one. "The world is full of kings and queens, who blind your eyes and steal your dreams, it's Heaven or Hell.".

The famous DIO horns, Dio explained, came from his grandmother. It's called the MOLOYK. ITS TO WARD OFF AN EVIL EYE, or to give the EVIL EYE. THE IDIOT Gene Simmons wanted to patent the Dio horns. Course Dio said that SIMMONS, IF he could, would patent AIR.
