I'm not Mr Metal but I agree with this %100.
He was one singer in the genre that I could listen to.

I love that album. It's a good example of how Dio was not only a great metal singer but a man with a beautiful voice all around.
He was badass in Heaven and Hell.
One of, if not THE greatest voices in metal. He will be greatly missed. I had the opportunity to see him maybe 10 years ago or so, and was blown away at the performance. Plus (from what I remember) he was completely down to earth and humble.
R.I.P., Ronnie. You will be missed.

Sad day, cranking Sabbath - Heaven And Hell.
R.I.P. Ronnie, the music will live on forever.....

Man... so bummed.
Holy Diver has been a long Keraoke fave of mine. I was fortunate enough to see the amazing show that was Motorhead/Dio/Iron Maiden a few years back. He will be missed.
Played Last in Line, Holy Diver and Rainbow in the dark last night till my room mates complained.

We're a ship without a storm
The cold without the warm
Light inside the darkness that it needs, yeah
We're a laugh without a tear
The hope without the fear
We are coming - home
So long Mr. Dio. Thanks for the memories

Ronnie James Dio (born Ronald James Padavona; July 10, 1942) has been a terrific singer and musician (bass guitar and trumpet early in his career) for over 50 years since the late 1950s with many successful bands. He will be sadly missed.

Man, what a voice.
Say what you want about the "classic" Sabbath lineup but Iommi and Geezer never rocked harder or tighter than during the Dio days.
He always made sure the bassist got plenty o' love in the mix, too. Kind of a rarity among metal singers in that regard.

I had the honor of meeting RJD backstage on the Holy Diver tour when I was 16 years old. Anyway...he was really the nicest guy you could meet. His road to the top was not always easy...especially after getting outsted from Rainbow but he went on to much greater things. It is indeed a very sad thing that he is no longer with us. Thanks for the music Ronnie......thanks alot.
