Ronnie James Dio, of Rainbow, Black Sabbath, Dio and Heaven and Hell fame, the great heavy metal vocalist who first popularized the Devil's Horns symbol, is sadly no more with us.

If your circle stays unbroken then your a lucky man, cause it never never never has for me.
In the palace of the virgin lies the chalice to a soul, and its likely you might find the answer there.

-R.J.Dio - Invisible
Today the circle broke. For sure.

Ronnie was the face of Metal. He will be missed by all. The album Heaven and Hell proves how great he was.

RIP DIO

Guys please keep flaming off this thread. While you can hate anyone in a free country like ours, have some sense as to what is the right place and time to show it...

Every Metalhead who admires Heavy Metal (not the junk Nu-metal or metalcore) will find Dio a great singer.

PS - Personal opinion.
but if you wanna tell me that metalcore or nu metal is awesome. Then keep it to yourself. And dont try to piss me off or you will be owned (believe me i'll pwn u in ur own S**T)

Wow, what is wrong with you people. Xterminator be warned stop throwing flame bait all over the place. If you didn't like Dio or whatever you clearly had the option of staying off the thread. Everyone else, kill the potty mouth as it is we have a hard time keeping the board clean of spam . The last thing we need is going through posts and editing it clean.

Sigh, In simple words try to refrain from posting merely to provoke people who do appreciate the celebrity in question. Is this that hard to comprehend?

As for the rest, did you fail to read the rest of my post? As I said earlier the warning goes out to all.

We all loved Dio and will do so forever.

*Edit by FilledVoid*
The Poster has been already warned about provocative posts. There's no need to go out of your way and do it again. Again people stick to the topic and disregard anything else. Thanks.

I personally feel, he had one of the best rock voices. At par with Rob Halford of Judas Priest. His merger with Ritchie Blackmore in Rainbow was phenomenal. It was sad that R.Blackmore had an immense ego and never got along with anyone. Apparently after Ronnie J. Dio joined Black Sabbath, Ozzy during his stage shows, used to burn an effigy of a short midget which had an uncanny resemblance to Dio. Dio was short in stature....!

Yes Rob Halford is great too,so is Bruce Dickinson.I still have one Judas Priest poster(got from rock street journal) hanging in my room.
