Vocal Coach reacts to Ronnie James Dio - Children of the Sea - Live `83

Hello Everyone! I have started a second channel called "Roar!" where I take on challenges and push myself out of my comfort zone. You can check it out here: kzbin.info

Ronnie James Dio did sing professionally for 53 years. Right up to when he passed in 2010.

[@joebradford7308]

May he forever rock in peace!

[@SylviusTheMad]

And while his voice did change as he aged, it never really degraded (the way Rob Halford's or Geoff Tate's did, for example). Whatever Ronnie was doing, it worked for him, and it didn't damage his voice.

I saw Rob Halford with Judas Priest in 2015 and he hit all the notes but I see Geoff Tate's voice changed. Rob Halford being in his 60s, it's insane he hits those notes even on Painkiller.

[@johnny5grimscythe]

It cracks me up to hear someone questioning how healthy Dio's technique was. The man's singing career lasted over 50 years (1957-2008) and he was as powerful near his death as the many times I saw him live in his last 20 years. He commanded and technique obeyed.

I don’t find it at all out of line to ask that question. Ronnie Dio left the dulcetonic bodies of many imitators along the musical highway, as they too, assumed they could do what he did.

I’m admitting up front that what I’m about to say will sound dumb. I get it. At the same time, Im at the point in my life that I don’t care. That being said...I really enjoy your reactions as well as how you dissect what’s going on vocally and explain the how’s, why’s and where for’s etc. BUT...by far my favorite part of the entire experience has got to be that adorable little roar! Love it!

[@RoninMidzu]

DIO - I love him and listened to Holy Diver a dozen times over the last week - it helped me to move forward in my life.

[@bdarne0024]

The story goes Dio's warm up was a joint and a glass of wine

[@patmctallica3522]

.....ya, Scott Ian told so... 👍

[@themotuwolf]

RJD pulled me into metal when I was a kid and he was with Sabbath. I was mesmerized by his voice. Through Elf, Rainbow, Black Sabbath, and Dio, he dominated any stage he stepped foot on. The ultimate metal story-teller. Legends live on.

[@blazeandcyrus]

Love this video. Dio... I loved how he put everything out there on the stage. No matter hwo many shows he did he would give everyone 115% and sing with such passion and emotion. Dickinson, Dio and Halford are the trinity of vocalists, I feel, Dio is the best of them all. Live Evil is a double live album from Black Sabbath... 1982 I believe, and it is just a clinic all the way through

[@uoabigaillevey]

Completely agree with you on the trinity. I would add Tim "Ripper" Owens as a runner-up tho. He filled in for Rob Halford for Judas Priest for 2 albums, covered King Diamond nearly flawlessly, and is sometimes the singer for "Dio Disciples" (A tribute band consisting of former Dio band members and various vocalists.) Peace

[@saschakamm9416]

Please react to Symphony X Sea of lies live in Bloodstock. The singer is fantastic and he is influenced by Dio

[@angelcastillo-uj1be]

Bruce dickinson - tears of the dragon (mtv). amazing performance!!

[@suzannemcneal7320]

Ronnie was and is the heart of Metal. Huge voice topped only by a massively kind heart. Missed and loved by so many. Thank you for your reaction. He's very special to so many!

[@MOColumbia]

When Ozzy says 'The Man with the golden voice' pay attention That be DIO.

[@DoliSkipper]

This is Dio the solo artist with his band, if I'm not mistaken, after he left the Sabbaths. And since he co-wrote the song, he took it on tour with him as a solo artist.

[@taczilla706]

I believe you are correct, i dont see Tony Iommi and i do believe that is Vinny Appice on the drums but Vinny always plays with him..( even in Sabbath).

[@AndrewMartinez1776Redux]

Anyone can play anybody's song(s) live, but if they put it on a dvd/blu ray; they will have to pay royalties to the musician or band that they covered. Unless they wrote the song from a their former band, then they won't have to pay royalties. Ozzy sang Sabbath songs. So many musicians cover others songs. It's a tribute.

[@lisamann]

9:23, the look on your face- that voice can make you WEEP, it has made me weep many times, and I still weep for that fact that it has been silenced.

[@n3Cr0ManCeD]

Ronnie James Dio was a god. This performance is a major dose of ASMR. Goosebumps!

[@GilaMonster971]

Had to watch this again a year since my last. Amazing singer and amazing review. Nearly every Ronnie James Dio song brings a tear to my eye. I miss the little dude.

[@barbedwireboys]

I love seeing you enjoy this... there is so much more substance to good metal than most realize... Go listen to the studio version of this also please... actually the whole heaven & hell album. Hell he had to fill Ozzy's shoes. And did in a great way.

[@Tommow94]

You need to react to Stargazer. Possibly the best vocals from Dio. RIP you legend!

[@huguesvanreet3270]

Stargazer and A light in the black from LP Rising ( in fact, all songs from this LP are masterpieces). Heaven and Hell with Sabbath and Holy Diver + The last in line + Sacred Heart are masterpieces, too. Ronnie James was the greatest. RIP.

[@holykuhmeinefresse]

Tenacious D - Kickapoo would be great to react to! You'd get some Dio, some Meat Loaf, a lot of Jack Black and a good portion of entertainment!

[@PsionicMonk]

holykuhmeinefresse Haha yes!

[@henrynoel3336]

And more than a few f bombs!

[@holykuhmeinefresse]

@@henrynoel3336 True, but I guess that's inevitable with Jack Black. I hope that won't stop her from watching it.

[@BethRoars]

Hey! Check out my latest Tenacious D reaction here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eGbRgqiXoNOnapI

[@lddevo88]

Awesome reaction! Dio was an absolute beast.

[@ganuv]

Dio and blackmore was the most powerful combination in the history of rock music! No band came even close. Period

[@trulsdirio]

Dio just had effortless and complete control over his voice, to a point that is beyond impressive.

[@geoffgordon6836]

A truly great singer. Beth, you should watch the Sam Dunn documentaries on heavy metal. You may enjoy them; they give great insights into that world. If you decide to they are called: Heavy Metal: A Headbangers Journey, and The Evolution of Heavy Metal. Sam is an anthropologist, and shows the world, and its culture in a brilliant way.

[@jasont4783]

For a guy who was just over 5 ft tall, he became a giant the moment he sang. Ronnie James Dio is a metal GOD. RIP.

[@jimshelby406]

Jason Trinque - He was 5’4” not 5’0”. I know 4” may sound trivial to most of us but when you’re 5’4” tall 4” is a huge difference.

[@ryanamendt8363]

You should review Stargazer by Rainbow, another band in which Dio sang.

[@bigorange000]

It's a shame that he died too soon. Rip Ronnie. We all miss you. Thank you for all that you have given us.

[@papalolobueno6125]

Lovely to see your enthusiasm. Got to see him a few years after this; envy that there is so much more for you to see for the first time! Love from Kalamazoo

[@DMXIII]

Even in 2020, Dio still one of greatest metal singer of all time and... POWER METAL FATHER!

[@kendallgould7160]

Ronnie arguably had the best voice in metal. He was amazing right up to the end.

[@TheCrimsonIdol987]

The wild thing about the late, great, Ronnie James Dio (RIP), was that he was so short, yet, he had one of the most powerful set of lungs for someone of his size, this side of Hell. And, from what I've heard, the nicest guy you'll ever meet.

[@stefanosoderi4152]

This guy could wake the gods on mount Olympus with that power in his voice

[@EvilIdleHands]

I've been to literally hundreds of metal concerts over the last 35 years of my life and Dio is, without a doubt one of the top 3 live metal experiences I've ever had.

[@santosibs9352]

Dio fenomenal interpretava a canção com sentimento cantava com a alma, dava vida a letra, inigualável !!! Faz parte agora de uma banda no mais alto escalão celestial !!! Obs: Em breve estaremos lá todos reunidos curtindo a perfeita voz de Ronni James Dio !!!!!!◇☆◇

[@TheGil6400]

Dio was the greatest....He started as trumpet player....but once he started to sing....there was no holding back on this little guy with a voice of a God...RIP Ronnie

[@rockinguitarist1]

Ronnie (R.I.P.) was a Master, one of the greatest Metal vocalists ever.

[@evh4611]

It is a joy to watch and to listen this lady react to vocalists and artists

[@BethRoars]

Thank you!
