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.

A "vocal coach", or any kind of professional interpreter, of course wouldn't just apply "techniques" they just invented for themselves but describe anything they notice in how it works (the goal of any science or field).

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.

You're absolutely right. I saw him perform in 2006 and it was nothing short of amazing. Catch the Rainbow brought me to tears.

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 know people who will never sing again because they thought they understood his voice. I appreciate Beth’s thinking.

band77one he’s brilliant, I agree, but overlooked and I don’t think really classed with mighty names like Dio, Halford, or Dickinson. Really, and that’s only because Manowar haven’t really let him shine as much. Very samey (music) and for whatever reason have been very quiet through the years, and it’s a shame because he might’ve gotten more attention that he deserves elsewhere (not knocking Manowar, but they haven’t really been giving him really enough chance to show off) I think a side project or a solo band might’ve made him stand out a bit more.

I know Bruce is more known to the public, which make sense when Maiden is a much bigger band than Manowaar. But not only is it a question of taste ( I prefer Erics tone, technique etc), but I also think he is a better vocalist overall than Bruce. And Bruce is a very very good vocalist.

All the fools sailed away - From the album "Dream Evil" - from Ronnie James Dio... Is a "must listen to"...

[@rodneycrisp2020]

Yes....and Shame on The Night....

[@patmctallica3522]

Temple of the king....

[@simplyabah]

Dio is just fantastic.

[@kirbyhamm6381]

His passion always shone through in his voice. One of the best voices of all time. His friend Glenn Hughes is another one. The real deal.

[@jjohnston1]

Never again. Will there ever be a Ronnie James Dio. Anyone can break down his voice or his options for doing what he did but he will be what he did and always be the best.

[@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.

[@saschakamm9416]

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

[@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.

[@Bloodyria]

Awesome reaction! Miss him so much :( I'm joining the requests for Symphony X and Blind Guardian. Also asking for Avantasia (The Scarecrow) and Ayreon (The Day that the World Breaks Down), both projects with many great singers, it'd be fun for you and we'd enjoy it a lot!

[@kayxdragon]

Avantasia and Ayreon would be amazing, especially those songs, totally agree!!

[@VersusThem]

Yeah, let's join the Symphony X and Blind Guardian mob, specially the first now that she listened to Dio

[@julianruiz34]

I'm in love with your kindness and easygoing talking, a smart woman is always a pleasure😍

[@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!

[@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.

[@ryanamendt8363]

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

[@WalterKlemmerPiano]

Thank you for reacting to Classic Metal! Dio is indeed one the of greatest! Please react to Deep Purple - Child In Time.

[@DMXIII]

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

[@MOColumbia]

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

[@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 !!!!!!◇☆◇

[@m.gideonhoyle409]

Saw him front Black Sabbath on the Mob Rules tour. I was deaf in one ear for two days, but it was awesome!

[@tonjharvey]

Same here did at the Hammersmith Odeon - awesome concert

[@m.gideonhoyle409]

Cool... I saw them at the old Coliseum in Houston, TX. Believe it or not, the Outlaws opened up for them. Weirdest bill I've ever seen: heavy metal and Southern rock.

[@diegom-a7970]

Lucky

[@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.

[@Two4Brew]

Powerful Singer, with a great heart. Got to see him with Elf, Rainbow, Black Sabbath and his own band.

[@Caelestan]

I am so happy, that i was allowed to see the "Heaven & Hell" - gig in Wacken with him in 2009. The first and very last time to hear him singing live. It was awesome. And i am a lucky man. R.I.P RJD

[@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

[@lddevo88]

Awesome reaction! Dio was an absolute beast.

[@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

[@juicysuit]

Thank you so much Beth! I’ve been digging into the various vocal coaches vids and I love how many technical tidbits you throw out. So many of your observations on the mechanics of making sound are things I unconsciously do but hadn’t bothered to really dissect. Pointing out specific ways of modifying mouth shape and breathing and what have you is what I want from these vids. Thank you for your generous analysis!

[@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

[@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.

[@tonedeafsinger3936]

Dio was an amazing singer... and having a very clear diction. When Dio sings you can hear every single word. That also tells a lot of about vocal tehcnique and how well developed the overtones are.

[@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.

[@robbie3051]

Finest live singer I’ve ever seen. Magnificent.

[@kendallgould7160]

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

[@TheAsatorr]

Of the time when gods walked among us!

[@rockinguitarist1]

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

[@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.

[@allwhite8774]

Since I started watching your videos, I hear so much more now when I listen to music. Every song I thought I knew is brand new again.
