@@churrocrudo not a demi god, he was THE God of metal

He does not need a microphone, he's voice is fucking (fucking) POWERFUL

I'm that dude

Died right there

Lol

Exactly! I'm just going to practice! lol.. That was the take!

@@AMetalheadsJourney lmao basically that.

@@AMetalheadsJourney well, this is after he broke Jack Black's mic with the sheer power of his voice and got his own better one out of his car

they used another take haha

Please. Ozzy still flogs him and is still alive.

@@dcmastermindfirst9418 I never liked Ozzy. I can barely understand him lmao. Dio will always be the best metal singer of all time and that is a fact.

@@dcmastermindfirst9418 those retired rock god's aren't in competition. American idol and American gameshows have flogged your brain.

@@southsiren I'm not American so wrong.

It's kinda like how after Marilyn Manson scored the first Resident Evil movie, he apparently loved doing it, and joked, "maybe I do this for a while, stop doing regular albums" and his band freaked out or the like.

@@JnEricsonx how dare you comparison that little girl to Dio?

@@Salsilator Marilyn Manson is a pretty cool guy and a Dio fan himself. Obviously Dio's voice is on another level though.

@@BigUriel he's cool? What about all those sexual allegations? Pretty sure he's a creep.

@Berry McCalkiner I think it was in an ironic tone, since he wanted to do more

After this, he knew the movie was going to be a hit. I don't think he expected this.

@@AMetalheadsJourney The movie flopped in theaters but luckily it has gotten the recognition it deserves over time.

@@MikeVoss I loved it as a kid. Not exactly the most child friendly content but the songs were so good!

Because Dio was the best 🙏🏻

@@dannass5 me too! i wish they would make a sequel

Word has it they would turn to actual blood rusted steel and fall to the floor in an uncanny, spiky pile, even as he sang each word ...

@CazMatazz Arial Bold .... so deeply and unapologetically goth ...

Nah man, that font is Din

It isn’t in medieval font lol moron

I hate that you use the word "was", god damn rest in peace Dio... A soul that left this world to early

He both had massive natural talent and looked after it: proper technique, proper life choices, adjusted with age etc. A great example of how to use talent well.

I remember the announcement of his passing. I was at a Kansas/Foreigner/Styx concert. Halfway of the Styx set, the singer came out to announce it. My friend who was a HUGE fan of RJD & Black Sabbath, was devastated.

@@robertparker6280 Is your friend a septum?

@@seanmatthewking No?

This reminds me of something out of spinal tap just because Jack black is there

@Dave Mustaine not inaccuratte

@Dave Mustaine not inaccuratte

There are words expressed and WORDS EXPRESSED. Dio, for sure, the latter.

WRYYY

ZA WARUDO

Because he knows how to sing powerfully without just yelling like Adele and most modern singers.

Right? I was also blown away by The Devil You Know.

@@SpencerLemay why you gotta do Adele like that? Could've picked any auto tune reject but you had to pick someone who actually has a beautiful voice.

Talk about being a legend, while these cringy "singers" can't even sing the only song of their careers without autotune...

@@Cevanth Exactly. Either actually sing or don’t sing at all.

Agree. He just blows me away everytime.

He was and will always be the best metal vocalist ever he set a standard that can not be replaced

No 1 together with Eric Adams

Amen

2nd only to Corey Taylor

In reality, most Rock vocals are pretty silly, Tenacious D are just kinda "over the top" and they do the "this is very serious" thing in an ironic way. I think that's what make them a great rock band in a time when rock is pretty much dead when it comes to being mainstream music.

I’d like to think that Jack and his crew poured their hearts out into this project through melody but through a comedic filter. I think they spent hours on these songs to perfect them. It just comes off as super silly. I mean one album has Dio, meatloaf and Dave grohl in it. What a dream.

Tenacious D is a goofy duo for sure, but they are phenomenal musicians.

@@sortebill agreed, the darkness did the same thing I think.

Not silly

Yeah... I know. But honestly, DIO is somebody that is such a singer that it is hard not to be amazed by. He's literally the only singer I really look up to.

Keep in mind it was the Tenacious D enthusiasm that kinda halted Dio’s idea of retirement. Dio claimed to the end of his days that he was glad he didn’t slow down in the end.

Yeah, and Dio is so humble, at the end he compliments Jack Black's work.

Lol, Jack Black is not a rock legend.

jack black and dio are in completely different leagues

One of the dudes in the back fainted

Except the guy who passed out in awe

He does not need a microphone

@@austinmistretta8373 his voice is fuckin.......

@@TheDud247 POWERFUL!!

@@RedFactionMaps aaaaaaaAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGHHH!!!!!!!!!!

@@TheDud247 *mini guitar solo plays and then * ahhhhhhhAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

I wonder if what we are seeing here is the true guy other than the character that he plays as Jack Black. I mean, I'm sure he is that funny guy and all but maybe behind all that he is a normal person or even a little bit introvert

Better off don't watch it, is not cool at all, but yeahh, Jack is a normal guy, he just likes to make people have a good time all the time, seeing Dio singing in front of him must've felt unbelievable ya dig?

Boy was high as a kite too I’d bet.

It’s actually an odd feeling when you meet your hero’s and they don’t disappoint. You always hear the “never meet your hero’s” line and it’s true a lot but he’s recording a song with one of the men that inspired him to live his life!!! And Dio is being awesome Jack probably is having trouble not being in awe to connect with him.

it's fucking Dio. What do you expect 😂😂😂 Guy's massive. Balls made of metal !

That ability was part of his original bargain with the devil.

Lmao. And even better, reading this as he did it 🤣🤣🤣

Reverse Leia's style

That's really funny dude

😂😂😂😂

I understand he's an actor but his mind looks literally BLOWN at the end while talking to Dio....

Have you actually MET him? I have and he's a self-absorbed a$$hole. He doesn't deserve to even be in the same zip code as Dio, much less the same room.

Exactly

the lady's starstruck! She's nothin but bad luck!

He's a big fan

*godstruck

It's like Chris Farley talking to Paul McCartney if you've ever seen that back in the day

yeah I'd be pissing my pants figuratively and probably literally too if Dio sang on one of my songs

he aint god for nothing

He is Dio, don't you even dare to compare him with those mortals

Dedication equals excellence. That’s why pop music is so hollow now.

It's worth mentioning some other amazing metal vocalists take hours. And there's doubtless plenty of pop "stars" who do one-take wonders. Jamie LaBrie does his takes line by line and multiple takes for each one. To think that talent only exists in one genre is fucking stupid, frankly.

@@DaveDexterMusic I don’t think he was comparing every metal vocalist to every pop “singer.” I think he was comparing Dio to generic pop stars like Katy Perry. Of course some pop “singers” are good, but pop music still sucks. You basically can’t tell anymore if what you’re listening to is a real person or computer effects. Auto tune is rampant in pop, and is nowhere in metal (that I know of). If you want to compare the genres, metal still wins.

You can call me Ronnie.

Naah

His Voice is Fuckin' (fuckin')...... POWERFULLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AHHHH! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!! YEAH!

@@MrParkerman6 🤯

Neither does Graham Bonnett apparently.

Sorry about that.

This is the most perfect comment

YESSS I was thinking the same thing

Blame the editor

A guy fainted and that was captured in camera

His head imploded

you might forgive him some day, you never know

That's what I'd do for sure

It was a worthy cause

That was the plot all along. And it worked perfectly.

I like how he flows into "when the ocean meets the sand" and almost hits a falsetto.

I couldn't agree more. His voice was way too impressive, recorded music never managed to do him justice. This short video is such a powerful example of what he did when recording his songs, I just fucking love it.

Exactly and the dude was an incredible person on top of it all. Everywhere you read testimonies of people saying how good of a person he was.

Yep.. really right? See that dude just fall over! lol

i would freak the fuck out if he did, for me, he was THE voice of metal.

Haha, the headphones are still on even though he has taken them off. I always push my long hair back with the headphones when i use them so my hair doesnt turn out that way.

What happened? I don't see anything.

@@ImMagnetz His hair has shaped itself around his ears after the shape of the headphone earcups, at least i see it very clearly, its looks almost like he still has the headphones on like i joked about in my earlier post.

@@Stefan- Oh, I see it now. I was looking at the top of his head.

I didn't catch that. Thanks

It made a man collapse

Ronnie gives all of himself singing here, you can't believe how professional he was, for all the respect he had for his fans

bro he nailed on the first take wtf he was a beast

Even the dude at 1:19 collapses because of how powerful Dio was

Yeah I know. I wish I could see him live today! I'd be front and center.

@@AMetalheadsJourney Yeah! Just once in 2000 in Vienna! Thank god (Dio) I did so! The best rock voice and talent ever!

Wow I never realized how poetic this is, that's some Dante meeting Virgil type shit. Especially if Jack wrote the plot for the movie, Litterally working with one of his heros to tell a story of said hero inspiring him to rise to a point he could tell the tale.

I met Ronnie James Dio in Copenhagen. While I shook his hand, I said, "It's great to finally meet you, Mr. Dio. I've been a fan for a long, long time. Thank you for all you've created." He waved me off and said, "Aw, John. Call me Ronnie. 'Mr. Dio' makes me feel old." He was a truly a very, very nice person.

It's kind of like taking pictures. Even if you love the first one, it's good to have multiple takes to work with, just in case a miracle happens.

@@azimuth361 jaeh ronnie var fed

The first concert i ever went to was Heaven & Hell when i was in middle school, i was maybe 12/13 years old. After the show, they did a meet and greet and me and my father waited in line for over an hour to meet the band. Tony Iommi, Geezer Butler and Vinny Apice really couldn't be bothered for more than a handshake (not that i blame them... they probably wanted to go home)... but when we got to Dio and my father told himcthat this was my very first show, his eyes lit up and he spoke to me & my fatherwith such excitement and genuine happiness for a good couple of minutes. I will never forget that. RIP Dio!

Hes battling the ballrog as we speak

@@MikeJones-oe3do Devil and Dio are having a Mexican Standoff/Rock Off with Lemmy.

Nah, he's just making the devil his bitch because el Dio is superior

kcikapoo is anything but silly; sure, the lyrics are ridiculous, but the theme it touches, the repression of youth, the longing for something greater, the encouragement from an idol, the warning about what it will actually take to reach the promised land; that's fucking metal, man.

@@SethonanGaming 👏

Fuck yeah it is man

also Dio with soft voice "that was too much?" - no it was good xD

@@SethonanGaming I saw this as a young teen and when I got older couldn't believe there's actually a place in America called kickapoo

Literally the only appropriate response to the situation.

He fell because he nailed it on the first or second take.

Well, that shit happens to Dio all the time.

@@MikeJones-oe3do first

It was the movie director. He just collapsed for the emotion, JB was paralysed. In the movie this performance gives me chills, I really can’t imagine to watch it in the same room. Incredible!

Humble, he truly was a kind, humble man who never put himself before others. In short, a true role model.

My favourite Dio story about how lovely a man he is when he joined Sabbath for the second time Tommy Iommi was elected to take him aside and sit him down to say that the band have decided that any lyrics he wrote can't be about rainbows and he got quite upset.

I've seen him live but I didn't see the last tour with Sabbath. I do regret that. But when I did see him, I was too young to sort of analyze it like I do now but all I remember was that his voice seemed perfect without any flaws. I was amazed by his vocal delivery and how he could be that flawless on stage.

Sorry you didn't..I was lucky enough to see him live with his band and with deep purple. Mind-blowing

"I did not mean (he did not mean) To blow your mind, (to blow your mind) My voice is fucking (fucking) POWERFUL!"

@@wolfganghendery8298 *but that shit happens to me all the time

@@stanknugget hehe

@@stanknugget As in I was his logistics and press officer for the event he was at. I'm not a waiter.

Every single time

DIO was at another level. He knew exactly how to use his voice like you'd drive a car. Ozzy is more of a hit or miss.

I love both but to me Sabbath is all Ozzy, while Dio I prefer in Rainbow and his solo work. Ozzy's solo stuff is good but no where near what he accomplished in Sabbath and he also didn't write his lyrics and battled substance abuse for decades. Dio was clean and sober so he had more control over what he was doing and obviously wrote his own lyrics. Both are Metal gods. Both were/are wonderful people who genuinely loved what they did/do and adored their fans. The contributions they made to music, society, and Metal culture is immeasurable.

@@xCreepyKidsx The first Sabbath I ever heard at age 11 was Heaven and Hell, so I love that album. Dio's best work ever.

@@xCreepyKidsx Swell; Heaven and hell is such a perfect record!

@@patmctallica3522 Agreed. That album is one of Dio's best and a best for Sabbath as well. Mob Rules and Dehumanizer have their moments but Heaven and Hell was right off the heals of Ozzy getting kicked out and Dio leaving Rainbow, so they definitely put their all into that record.
