When Dio is interviewed I always imagine him sitting on a golden throne

Loved Ronnie. Such a genuine and deep person he was. Missed. RIP

Ronnie fibbed... he loved meeting people after a show... chatting, signing, get pictures. EVERY night. Told limos to go away, to journos to wait or go away. Nothing was more important to Ronnie than his fans. And he'd do anything for them. I know of which I speak.

I can listen to this man forever...he is so articulate, has a great sense of humor, and is compassionate. I miss him so much :(

He was the greatest! Glad I saw 6 times in the 80's and a few in the 90's

Aww Love DIO!! MIss him dearly, can always learn a lot from him!

Cranky and adorable. Envy his pets. Hope you have more footage tucked away somewhere. I could listen to Ronnie articulate his thoughts all night. 🔥

Ronnie was a phenom. Greatest rock vocalist of my generation. Such a great interview, so honest and heartfelt.

This guy made every band he was in, better than it could have been. His presence, also was the cause of new bands, and new inspirations of artists to become who they are today.

Only the Good Die Young! he was taken from us too soon 😭 RIP Ronnie, your presence will always be felt.🤘

Eric, you are one great interviewer. It seems like Ronnie felt very comfortable with you. Great questions as always. Same with your interviews with Glenn Danzig. Thank you very much.

Can imagine how much un seen footage you actually have on RONNIE... Great stuff Eric !

This man, I heard him sing and instantly felt connected and attracted to his music. He commanded the stage and his concept. Then I heard him speak in interviews and my admiration went up through the roof. He doesn't give a second thought to what he says, his integrity and convictions are firm, he talks with so much confidence, intelligence, honesty and wisdom.

I WONDER WHY REAL VIEWS AND COMMENTS ARE BLOCKED ON ALL MY VIDEOS ???

One of the greatest. Very intelligent and articulate

Love the interviews you did with Ronnie. He did get a bit testy about meeting the fans, or having to sign autographs. I have always heard he was very gracious with his fans, so maybe he was just having a hard time when you did this interview? I wonder if he already had cancer at the time of this interview? Sucks he is gone. Really love the Rainbow, Sabbath and Dio solo albums. Ronnie is my second favorite rock/metal singer, right behind Freddie Mercury. Thanks for the video. Oh, and Ronnie's comment about social media was ahead of its time as 2016 to 2020 has been the "Operation Barbarossa" of the post-modern age; scorched earth and ugly to the max!

I really enjoyed listening to this chat thank you

Really interesting, introspective questions, this is such a good interview!

Dio will never die and will be heard 1000 years from now.

What a Legend and true to his word. 🙏🏽

never seen this before,thank you

Ronnie James Dio is one-of-a-kind man does he have a lot of energy what a great humanitarian R.I.P

Nicest old grouch you'll ever meet!

Not my cup of tea musically, but I've become a big fan of him as a super-smart, articulate musician in interviews, like this great one. Thanks!

Ronnie’s rant about American Idol is so hilarious and true

Sure miss his music

Greatest rock singer ever

A very humble guy...says it as it is godbless Rohnie

Thank you!

Thank you!!

Great questions!

Nicest rock star I ever met.

Amo ver as entrevistas de Ronnie!! ♥️♥️♥️ Ilove Ronnie!!!

a legend !

Nothing like a bit of Ronn ie when you're down ❤️🤙

Yes my favourite singer of all time mentions my favourite band of all time when he says. What Pink Floyd has done to me that made me feel so happy......

Ronnie's eons ahead of everybody else. Eons.

Ronnie James fits knowledge so much about music he made me feel better he's lyrics made me at peace having bad realships

Boy he took that leopard metaphor and gave it a big push.

I really enjoy listening to Dio interviews, but man he seemed like he was having a tough day here and pretty cranky. We are all human though.

You gotta love Ronnie 🤘😀🤘

sich a humble person was lucky enough to meet him

I first listened to his voice at age 9 or so in a cassette...the day I knew what favourite music meant to me.

I was really impressed by this interview. I take back everything I said

Ronnie is deep and awesome

After a few years it all falls apart omg Dio really was awesome btw in Italian Dio means god think about it🤘🤟

King Ronnie

Hilarious wit. I'm gonna watch this again later for a laugh. Dio was so funny. Lifes too short. I also hate when people can't speak right

Ronnie actually has surprisingly a lot of knowledge of pop culture lol

I agree Ronnie...

To Me I have to say Ronnie will always be my favorite.........ozzy is. Good but To Me it will always be Ronnie.

2022 🤘

🤘

The world needs those ethics now more than ever.

He got the angry Ronnie this day! \m/

Dio was refreshingly honest.

lord dio rules

...On the silver mountain 😁

Something did happen.. the Man passed away. 😪🤘🎸

8:46 😄

2008?

Ronnie hit the nail on the head about American Idol what a bunch of 💩

Proud to say I never watched American Idol. RJD!

Loved the episode of naked & afraid of a large tall black woman & this white male midget ,. I c he has the same philosophy but far better at deeply explaining ourselfs, , I met alice coopers dad , at his art shop on 5th Ave in Scottsdale az, wish I would've met Ronnie, R.I.P

I think he meant unconditional love not unrequited from his animals, probably tired, i love them too... Interesting takes on life from RJD.

I'm from Kentucky and I know how to pronounce county lol

Love Ronnie...If you watch earlier interviews he has become much more cynical...Brilliant but cynical. I wonder what was going on in his life at this time.

14:13 Was he a vegetarian at the end of his life?

American karaoke LOL🙏♥️

Dio definitely was an INTP.

It's kind of funny everybody idolize these people who cares you're making these people rich and believing in their thinking he sings songs and you people look at him like he knows everything in life unbelievable that you can't think for yourself

Let me go this route he's a singer so you listen to his music and you like it so now you're going to him is he knows how to live life when you go to the doctor it's because you're sick you people looked at him if he knows all the answers unbelievable that you're brainwashed or think for yourself

Grumpy dio..

My Space. LMAO man this is old

He's a good manipulator tells you what you want to hear

Yea but Ronnie was also a very mean person, esp to his band. He was nothin without Campbell Bain & Vinnie. Soon as they were gone so was Dio. Great talent he was he also had his faults, just stating facts, Rip Ronnie

Yeah another cat lover always knew he was cool.

Aks, nukilar, febuary, ''you're'' instead of ''your'', 'your' instead of ''you're'', using apostrophes when not needed, not using apostrophes when needed... list goes ''on and on and on...'' Had Ronnie lived long enough to get the daily dose of grammar and spelling butchery we get from nearly every FB post from people who never read a single book and learned their language from their millennial online peers or phonetically, just guessing how to spell from verbal language... He would have probably made a song about it, haha.

Why interview an artist who already makes art? Why would the DEAD need to watch this. The albums and the art are for his and my people. If you dont get it then, you are part of the structure of darkness who do not get to heaven now.

Great singer/artist, not so much a philosopher.

Wasn't Ronnie married? 🙄 The other show is Britain's got Talent

Unfortunatley for Ronnie, he now knows there is a God...and there is a Hell...this is NOT Hell this is a testing ground and we are only here for a very short time, science proves the God gene there was a Master Creator this stuff just didnt happen on accident, the man who thinks he is his own God Is a Fool destined for a Fools destiny.

So cynical. It’s sad. Love his voice though!
