RIP DIO

RIP Ronnie.

It saddens me that I only got to see him on stage once with Deep Purple and that was only for a few songs.
I raise my horns to you Dio!

Who would’ve thought Ozzy would outlive Dio?

This is major suckage. RIP. Hail the legend!

\m/ \m/

Holy Diver was the first song I ever played in a band…Rock On Dio!

Shit. It’s official now. Fucking bummer.

RIP Dio, you gave all of us metal heads so much. Thank you.

Damn. This almost feels like a family member died. Not a day goes by when Dio isn’t on my playlist. He was the original Iron Dwarf!

Dio means God in Italian. He was a rock god for sure.

RIP, RJD. Been lifting for years to his music. And yet, Justin Bieber continues to live. Do we need more proof God isn’t paying attention.

Farewell Elf of Steel.

Often list to Heaven and Hell in the gym-a monster of an album,titanic vocals.

WHAT!!!

RJD can’t get cancer - cancer gets RJD.

Don’t forget “Dehumanizer”. Completely underrated, but awesome!

RIP holy diver. The only good thing to graze Black Sabbath IMO.

I flipped THE HORNS after reading it!

I don’t know if this is true, but if it is, it’s sickening:

Awesome performance. Is that Doug Aldrich on guitar? Looks like him.

Edit: Yep - just watched it all the way through - it’s him. Amazing player - always dug him. Great chops, great feel, awesome note choices - even though he’s pretty much playing Viv’s parts, he still injects a bit of his own style into it…
