@patrick arrington Thanks man! Very cool thing to say!! I appreciate that very much and I appreciate you!!

@@TCraigGoldy tss Thomas Goldy , what are you a retriever or sumptin tss fawkin home run Chipperson

@@FURTHER_ADO What?

He was honest, even when he chopped down the cherry tree.

That’s a crock. Everyone has lied about something and just so you know I think Craig is a cool guy and an awesome guitarist but to say anyone has never lied would make them equal with Jesus Christ 🙏🏻

@Epoxydog Ahhhhh.....thanks for that!! Such a very cool thing to say! I appreciate that very much and I appreciate you!!

@@TCraigGoldy Hey Craig. My first concert ever was Giuffria/King Kobra in 1985 @ the University of Florida Bandshell. Was just wondering if you were still in the band for that show and if so do you remember it?

J.C. Owen's Interesting fact....I never knew that!

@@TCraigGoldy another really old tradition from the 1980s was that if your lead guitarist’s finger slipped through the toilet paper when he wiped his rear you were going to have a really crappy show 🥴

Meh.. I think you’re probably right. Good call. I’d put Bruce Dickinson up there in the top five. But I’d have to think about who the other 3 are.

Dio Rob Halford Bruce Dickinson Geoff Tate

@@manimalace3861 you forgot Bret Michaels?

@@manimalace3861 that's the list I have, I'd add Tony Harnell

Does anyone doubt that he's top five?

@david stock Thank you very much for your kind words!! Means more than you know!!

@Trevor LeBonte I agree.....the guy who runs this channel is a great guy and has a real gift at getting people to talk about things never spoken of before! He's become a great friend too!! So.....thanks for your kind words!! I love it when people give props to this channel!!

Ronnie had several near death experiences. I think he really was a wizard!

Is the book pretty good???

Yeah it’s great!! Just don’t buy Halford’s book lol. But yes Ronnie has a great great story to tell and he tells it compellingly. A wonderful book. And on second thought, I’m not sure this story in the video is not in the book. I may have just forgotten. I loved the book, gobbled it right up.

@@labontetrevor I read the entire book in 2 nights! Captivating! It was easy to tell when the ghost writer continued. No one could sing like Dio and obviously no one can write like him

The enemy is not messing around, but don't worry, Jesus has already overcome the world. Jesus Christ is The Badass of all badasses. We open doors every day it's part of the deal, just remember the Slain and Risen King, Christ Jesus.

@@readyreckoner1592 Yes Jesus is King

@Ryan Everett, Yep!! You're right!

@@TCraigGoldy was it 'magic' that Ronnie was into? Kundlini stuff?

@Sean Gagnon, Woonsocket Rhode Island So far you're the only one that picked up on the most frightening part of the story....just how much tragedy stereotypes can cause!!

So, they asked the dead people why they didn't stop, or is Craig just making a very bold assumption that five different cars and the people in them didn't stop because rockers can't be trusted?

It's far more frightening that you believe anyone actually knows why the people who died didn't stop and just accept Craig's assumption as factual. We're just supposed to believe multiple cars with people all bought into the same stereotype over in Europe during the '80s? If he had said it was in some hick town in the southern or midwest of the U.S., I might believe you'd find that many idiots moving in the same direction but I'm just not buying this nonsense.

@@mykull666 Well then dont buy it and move tf on.

Very cool. I was lucky enuff to see SAVATAGE in the late 90s. Awesome show. Small personal venue. For whatever reason I was called out to start the mosh pit too. Great memories. SAVATAGE is in my top 5 on a good day,a bad day and everyday in between....bet. ROCK ON 🤘🏻😎😎🤘🏻

@@brockautry8680 I loved Savatage shows back then, saw them at both Lamours and in New Jersey

1st concert I went of my own was Diary of A Madman tour at MSG unfortunately Randy Rhoads died just before. Second show after his death, as a 12 year old it was awesome anyway

A fantastic tour, Dec '87, New Haven, CT. It was about 9 degrees out and I remember freezing my ass off in my denim jacket and Savatage t-shirt waiting for the old 78 Firebird to warm up. Good times...

Nice album cover,,,. Ignorant

@4 Deuce Thank you for that!! Very cool thing to say!! I appreciate that very much and I appreciate you!!!

@@TCraigGoldy you're welcome.

Yeah coz he counted them, every single shard. It was hyperbolic dude. People say that kind of thing all the time and only an idiot takes it literally.

@@somewhatsomething4882 Well said!! It's amazing what people will focus on! This was just an idea to tell a kinda creepy, yet a real story....and post it on Friday the 13th!

@@somewhatsomething4882 You are lost in a semantical maze of stupid. Don't take it on me, I wasn't talking to you.

Unless you wish to spend your eternity in hell I highly suggest you stop playing with the occult which is nothing more than playing with Demons. You could also end up being possessed. If you think that is BS or just some dumb joke just go and watch any videos from Exorcists. As a matter of fact go and listen to the podcast called the Exorcist Files with Fr. Carlos Martins who is an Exorcist and a terrific Catholic Priest. You will really learn how all this occult and witchcraft type practices really work. God Bless!

@Tom Hathaway Thanks!! And yes he certainly was!!

yeah right lmao listen to black sabbath live 'heaven and hell' song middle section where he tells God to go f*ck himself basically, and how he wants to burn in hell with the audience and come back n tell me how RJD is on the good side

Ronnie screwed over everybody in his band not paying them what they were worth, don't be a dumbass and Google that shit! Fuck!

i heard him say in a concert that he liked Satanic things was he just kidding i dont know i'm just saying what i heard him say

@@fender.munoz7 I've personally never heard Ronnie say that he liked satanic things ever!! He has said some things in concert that are a bit controversial in a religious sort of way.....but the true meaning of what he says is actually just how he feels about his fans in a metaphoric statement with a Heaven and Hell sort of connotation....but never have I heard him utter those words you mention....and I've known Ronnie since 1983!! If you can't remember his exact words....I'd be careful putting words in his mouth that didn't ever belong there! Not a criticism toward you.....just an inside observation of what I know first hand!!

@patrick arrington Thank you my friend! You've been such a great source of encouragement and inspiration! And I really appreciate that very much and I appreciate you! The Hidden in Plain Sight album is going to be re-released soon! Thanks my friend!

@@TCraigGoldy can't wait my awesome friend pick hard and strings up😆

Glass isn't always well made you know...it also gets old/worn/weathered, etc.

You can only get into heaven through Jesus. We are all spiritually tainted and corrupted no matter how good a person we are or think we are. The blood of Jesus cleasnses us from the sin which is inherent in us all. Don't make the mistake of not accepting Jesus free gift. He'll is real. very REAL.

Dream evil is close enough to my fav Dio album it rules more blackmore

🤣

3+3x3=12, not 666 dude.. nobody's buying church sh*t snymore

@Thomas Brogan Ha ha!! This ought to be fun!!

Goldy is a phenomenal story teller! As guitarist goes.. Goldy and Sykes are my top 2!

His own life-story is incredible... living in his car & Ronnie helping him long before he joined Ronnie's band. A beautiful human being.

@@venomagent76 Thank you! Such a very cool thing to say!!

@@ianoz1 Thank you for your kind words!! They mean more than you know!! I appreciate that very much and I appreciate you!!

I saw Dio on the Sacred Heart tour and the concert starts out with a giant crystal ball floating midair and an image of Ronnie appears inside and he talks in this weird demonic voice and then flames appear and then he disappears. You can watch this on the live at the spectrum dvd or YT video. When I saw it Viv Campbell was playing instead of Craig. The crystal ball was one of the first holograms ever used. It was just a first generation hologram and not as convincing as the ones being used today but it was cool back then and very expensive.

Dude, grow up, it's just show business

@@christheghostwriter in his spare time dude he was into crystal balls.

@@krisward2366 better to be onto crystal balls than black cubes. Occult is simply anything beyond your 5 external senses. It's like someone being into guns. They may like the engineering element, they may like the good practical elements where it's used as a tool, others may be into darker practical elements, using it like a weapon. The same goes for the occult. Trying to understand what you cannot perceive can be done for a number of reasons. Dio's music seems to be representing some technical aspects of the occult. For instance, the lyrics to stargazer is set in the desert of ignorance, which is an occult concept. Where as bands like America who are seen as more humble also sing about the desert if ignorance in horse with no name. In regards to the crystal ball, Dio has sung the lyrics "break the crystal ball"

@Kris Ward Your friend is mistaken! Ronnie definitely liked the dark sound but with a positive message. I've known Ronnie since 1983, even lived in his house during the Rough Cutt years and while we wrote and recorded albums and by having 24/7 access to the man himself I've never seen him do anything with a chrystal ball other than use it as a prop for the "Rock and Roll Children" video! You're certainly entitled to base your opinion from info from your friend....but some people who never got to meet/or know Ronnie might read your comment and because of your confident tone.....they might think you're right! I'd be more careful commenting on people with false information that serns like you're friend had witnessed it first hand! And if your friend knew Ronnie even slightly.......this would not be true at all! ! Not a criticism toward you.....just an observation and my own personal, close and inside information that is not readily available for many people! Ronnie did participate in only 2 seances decades ago. We've all done things that later on we would've done it differently! But if this were a court room....your comment would be striken from the record as here say!

What makes you say that?

When you hear more details about it is was more super irresponsible rather than bizarre.

Superstitious fool.

@Underdog It was just an interesting story to tell on Friday the 13th! No one's dabbling in anything!

Randy Rhoads died because the bus driver/‘pilot’ was on coke all night. Nothing bizarre- just completely tragic.

Witchcraft is as effective as hope

Yes, coincidence. But Ronnie's life was filled with such coincidences. Way too many to be statistically reasonable.

@MetalSalvation Well.....you have the right to your opinion! If you paid attention your question would've been answered. The only three people that were hit by the glass shards from Ronnies chrystal glass basically exploding without explaination...and those 3 people ( including me ) cut which those glass shards hit and drew blood ....we were the only three who's equipment got destroyed by the cars that didn't pay attention to our truck driver trying to warn them not to keep driving into the thick fog that was covering the first accident that kept other cars and our truck on the freeway....and they drove to their deaths while only 3 of the band members equipment got destroyed being the same each hit by the glass shards in the limo when Ronnie's glass unexplainedly shattered. Also....our truck had to be held over as "Evidence" after that. If that is a lame story....I'd hate to think what you think isn't lame?

​@@TCraigGoldy lol, I was paying attention, I just think it's silly superstition is all.

And only a few can read the symbols. It takes years

@Steve Marshall If you've ever been in a limousine....the glasses are very thick....the point is that it shattered like it blew up! He's not strong enough to have shattered the glass in that way! The thick bottom rims of the glasses are very strong in order for people to not get drunk enough to break them in their hands by the grip alone! I'm sure Ronnie could break that glass if he wanted to.....but it wouldn't have shattered into so many tiny pieces that flew across a 10 passenger limo from the back window seat all the way to just behind the driver with enough force for those tiny shards of glass to break skin that far away! It was more like an explosion of glass than a man crushing a glass with one hand. That thick of glass wouldn't have flown across the full length of the limo. It would've landed in his lap. I was trying to make this point without having to go into this amount of detail!

Yeah, makes sure to shit on him whilst recounting the story, gee whatta pal lol.

Thanks so much for taking time out of your day to click on a video about an artist you don't like just so you can tell strangers on the internet that you don't like the artist. Your negative opinion is VERY important and we're all so grateful that you shared it with us

@@christheghostwriter welcome to KZfaq dipshit. You’re welcome. Have a nice day

What? You're saying its a normal everyday occurrence for you to see a friend holding a glass of wine and that glass of wine shatters for no obvious reason? ...and then everything that happened thereafter.
