Ronnie James Dio passed in 2010 and there was and never be another one like him

Ronnie James Dio was and still is one of the vocal GOAT’s - he could ballad, belt, opera … Glad your discovering Dio. Check out Don’t talk to strangers live in around 2003 and Rainbow Stargazer live in 76

My mom took me to see dio in 2003. Moorhead opened, then dio, then iron maiden headlined. I got to see lemmy kilmister, ronnie james dio, & bruce Dickinson all sing in one night with my mom. Unforgettable.

I think he's the only vocalist that nobody ever had a bad thing to say about it.

Dio is a god of metal, second to none. great reaction!

You've done a few reactions to Dio now! I specifically recall you doing Mistreated and Last in Line. The man's a legend, keep em coming!

That’s heavy metal my bro

You`ve actually reacted to 3 songs where he was the singer 🤘🤘

DIO did this when he was in Black Sabbath. Tony Iommi is the godfather of heavy metal.

Ronnie James Dio, has a wonderful history of singing. You would be surprised at his beginning. Such different songs. His evolution in music is amazing.

Dio is a master vocalist. You should check out his stuff when he was with Rainbow!

Love the dio era

Love this reaction!!! Ronnie James Dio is a metal legend. You must do a deep dive into his career, you won't be sorry. RIP DIO 🤘😇

The Metal God himself! R.I.P

He's the greatest rock singer of all time, IMO. Love your reaction.

I was fortunate enough to see him live as my first rock show on the Sacred Heart tour. I don’t think there’s anyone today who can make you feel like he did. I once saw an article that described him as the strange, but wise and caring uncle we all wish we had, while the hair bands were like the guys who graduated and are trying a bit too hard to be cool while crashing high school parties 🤷‍♀️

If you like this then listen to Stargazer by Rainbow. Dio wrote Stargazer when he was in Rainbow. A must listen🤘🤘🤘

I think one of Dio's best-written songs he has ever done. It really gets you into his storytelling and his singing never fails you. My favorite version of this is when he was with Sabbath. Tony might not be the speedy shredder but his tone and depth are unmatched it is what is missing when any other guitarist does it. I am not making fun of the others but that element is missing. DIO means God in Italian more of his stage name. He was born with the name Ronald James Padavona. Sadly, I was crying the day he died and I'm not alone on this one and he is still missed.

He sang with black sabbath and this was Sabbaths first album. With Ronnie as vocalist. It's his song he wrote it fir black sabbath.

The studio version of this song is the best metal song of all time. It’s tragic when reactors don’t listen to that first!

It's interesting you mentioned bass because Jimmy Bain is the bassist and he was amazing. However I want to state that this was initially a Black Sabbath song when he was in the band and the bassist (Geezer Butler) of Sabbath is legendary, often playing a melody that is different from the guitarist, but complimenting it perfectly. So any Sabbath song during the Ozzy or Dio years is going to have bass riffs that you should pay attention to. Also Dio is Italian for "god" which is fitting considering how divine his voice was.

Welcome to our world, my friend ... The world of not just rock, but HEAVY METAL. Hope you wanna hang around with us for a while 🙂

I saw him every time he came to Nashville and it was always fire!

First time hearing too Nick, he has a great voice, especially where he holds those notes...👍☝️🖼☝️🎇🤓

welcome to the greatest Rock metal singer in history no contest Ronnie James Dio , was lucky enough to meet both him n Lemmy among others 11+ times over 30 years🤟🤘 his italian grandmother taught him the horn Sign to wave off evil spirits , he turned around n Protected his Audience which he loved dearly this is the greatest Song lyricwise ever written greatest storyteller ever to walk the earth Ronnie James Dio the Italian word for God is Dio

Ronald James Padavona was from an Italian American family from New York... he was raised Catholic and that fueled his disdain for organized religion. He started singing as a teen in late 1950's and changed his name to Ronnie James Dio ... 'Dio' (Latin for "God") and made a name for himself in the 1960's recording do wop and R&B songs as Ronnie James Dio & the Prophets (and other acts). He formed the band that became Elf in 1971 after hearing the new 'heavy rock' music by Led Zeppelin & Black Sabbath... He joined Deep Purple guitarist Ritchie Blackmore's band Rainbow in 1975 and experience major success... However, he was fired from the band in 1979. Ronnie James Dio soon replaced Ozzy Osbourne as the vocalist for Black Sabbath in 1980... 'Heaven & Hell' was the first album he recorded w/ Sabbath and was a huge success. 'Mob rules' was the 2nd album in 1981... In 1982, a dispute w/ Sabbath led to his leaving the band. He formed the band Dio in 1983 (He insisted it was name recognition, not ego, that decided the band name) and released the platinum record 'Holy Diver'... followed by 'The last in line' in 1984... Dio would perform songs from his time w/ Rainbow and Black Sabbath... Ronnie James Dio kept recording and touring w/ Dio (various line-ups) in the 80's, 90's and 2000's... He even reunited w/ the members of Black Sabbath in 2006 and renamed the band Heaven & Hell. Sadly, Ronnie James Dio passed away from cancer in 2010 🤘🤘 R.I.P.

Ronnie James Dio started performing in the late 50's. Ronnie & The Redcaps then ELF (who became Rainbow with Ritchie Blackmore, then joined Black Sabbath replacing Ozzie, then his band DIO, and then Heaven & Hell which was really Black Sabbath. The record label wanted to differentiate the band name from Black Sabbath because Ozzie was getting ready to return to the band.

This is the same singer that performed that monster performance "Mistreated"

Dio said this was the best song he ever wrote. He was with Black Sabbath when he wrote it

It's a great concert

It was originally recorded when he was Black Sabbath after Ozzy was kicked out.

DIO wrote the lyrics to most of the heaven and hell album

it's the third time you hear Dio and you don't remember...

Dude! You've already listened to RJD on the Rainbow songs you listened to (Mistreated for example). He also did two albums with Black Sabbath that are great!

Saw him 2 times down here in Dallas and out of the hundreds of show i have seen from 1976-1989 those 2 shows of his i saw were hands down the best i have ever heard!!!

Rock and Roll Royalty....

Ronnie James Dio, pronounced (DeO). Classic rock voice. One of the greats.

I consider myself very lucky to have seen the band DIO, twice in August / Sept 1987 ! xx

As much as I love this band & performance. I have to say that I prefer this song. When he performed it when he was with Black Sabbath.

Dio is the only person I will sit down for a story... RIP Dio

The fans give those to him on concert

Rudy on the Bass!

I saw Ronnie James Dio in his later years. A few years before he got sick and passed. It was for both the magica and killing the dragon tour. He was incredible and his voice was powerful.

Glad you found the Pavarotti of metal. Love. Your reaction. Please just raise the music up or your voice down. It will make it sound consistent while I try to listen respectfully on the train

Dio said this was the best song he ever wrote

You did DIO (D-O) - "THE LAST IN LINE awhile back. Such a great vocalist, RIP Ronnie James Dio. I believe the name means god. Great reaction 👍💛🌼

🤘С П А С И Б О 🤘 ..R.I.P Ronnie and Jimmy.

Ronnie James Dio sang with Black Sabbath (the song "Children of the Sea") and also Rainbow (the song "Mistreated"). Both songs you loved his voice. When he left Black Sabbath, he formed his own band Dio.

Dio is Italian for God, which he definitely was.

His name is pronounced Dee-oh

Personally like this song better when Dio was with Black Sabbath. This version left off the second half of the song.

I have been listening to this song for nearly 40 years now and I still do not know for sure who the DANCER is, lol. My theory is we are the dancers and no one is going to bleed for us, we have to make things happen.

He was the later singer for Black Sabbath.

Great reaction! Did y'all turn him on to Bruce Dickinson and Iron Maiden yet ? He'd really appreciate Bruce

Best metal vocalist ever no contest

You should listen to the 2009 live performance Dio did along with Iommi, Butler and Appice. That's the best performance, imho. 🤘😎 Original lineup, original sound and the intended soul of the song comes to life. Epic!

Start with Ronnie and the red caps, then Ronnie dio and the prophets then check out elf and rainbow, black Sabbath, heaven and hell and finally his solo stuff and you truly appreciate his talents

Whether you're into country, hip hop, r&b etc, you have to admit that RJD was an extraordinary entertainer. I saw him countless times when he was alive and I was always floored by his talent. He was on another level.

1980, my freshman year. Black Sabbath comes out with Heaven and Hell with Dio, Ozzy comes out with Blizzard of Oz with Randy Rhodes, AC/DC comes out with Back in Black with Brian Johnson because Bon Scott died, Judas Priest comes out with British Steel, 4 of the greatest albums ever, and oh yeah. John Bonham dies and John Lennon is murdered(stopped school with announcements with that one), quite a freshman year ✌️

Ronnie James Dio the Elf with the giant voice! He was pitch perfect every time. Even when he was dying. You could see that there was something physically wrong but his voice was still 100%.

hey this is not rock and roll , THIS IS METAL

Not a patch on the Sabbath version.

Find a live video of Rainbow from 1977 when Dio sang for them, hes vocals are stunning! The note he hets after the guitar section when the band kicks in shiws insane range and power. Song also showcases his wonderful tone.

Just an FYI , On December 8th 2023 LILIAC is releasing a video cover of HEAVEN AND HELL! it's going to be on social media, so for all you DIO FANS , check it out!!! 👍

Dio, like John Farnham are the some of the greatest vocalists of all time, they can sing anything. Dio with rainbow was amazing and his time with Black Sabbath and later with heaven and hell(aka) Black Sabbath.

Yes. You want more of DIO, you have qie listen Yes. You want more of DIO, you have qie listen to Stargazer of Rainbow by Rainbow

Check out his song with Rainbow - Stargazer. It's a blast.

DIO is the italian Name for GOD

Now check out rainbow and stargazer

HEY MY CHANNEL TNKS TO THE RESPECT , 4 months a request and nothing

you dont remember him?? I'VE BEEN MISSSSTTRREEAAAATTTEEEDDDDDDDDDD

I can't say if you can actually see full screen. We just get black i'm sure that's copyright. But that man deal has got to be a of your size. I think in heals. He was five, foot 2 and about a buck 25.

Weird... you have another video that says "First Time Hearing Dio".. and you have 2 other reactions with Dio in different bands (Rainbow and Black Sabbath).

RIP RONNIE

Did you forget you already reacted to Dio???

😁🤟

fans art

Listen to Black Sabbath Heaven and Hell. It is the same singer

Turn the actual DIO logo upside down and read it. . . .

U have done a ton of his songs Mistreated est same dude!!!

The version you watched isn't the entire song

Not a cover. Dio replaced Ozzy I saw them in Toronto I was 16 so 1982.. Look up the concert solve out in hours and his performance was flawless.

I'm completely aware that I will get a ton of haters but here goes anyway. Dio😇 was 10X better than Ozzie. I got to see them at a "Black and Blue" concert. (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.". I still have this album LP.😎

Dio doesn't mean anything, it is his last name and when they Were showing those banners on stage, they were items people in the crowd had thrown up on stage and he was just showing them to the crowd

The resolution of your screen sucks

I love Dio, but this version sucks.

Great Ronnie

Dio died long time ego in 2010 but if you want to listen to the best dio stuff you need to listen to rainbow long live rock n roll album
