so how does him being older than you make YOU feel old?

[texbrease]

take someone older than you and have remembered them all of your life. suddenly they die, and in retrospect you think of their life and accomplishments and then you realize life is short

Kind of

Just the fact I have been around and remember him back from the 70's

When you are 20 and somebody is 31 it does not seem like they are that much older in some respects. But when you are my age and the guy is approaching 70 it seems different.

it is truly a sad day for Rock-N-Roll fans everywhere

rainbow was one of my favorite bands, not to mention black sabbath a great lyricist/singer has been lost.

his work with charity isn't well known...,he was one of the driving forces behind "Hear N' Aid"
When attending a 48 hour charity Radiothon at the radio station KLOS, Jimmy Bain (of Rainbow and Dio) and Vivian Campbell (at that time still in Dio, later to play in Whitesnake and Def Leppard) noticed that the representation of heavy metal stars was scarce. In the light of the success of Band Aid's "Do They Know It's Christmas?" and USA for Africa's "We Are the World", they forwarded the idea to Ronnie James Dio, also attending the Radiothon, and they decided to make a similar project exclusively built on artists from the heavy metal scene. Together the three co-wrote the song "Stars."
On May 20 & 21 1985, 40 artists gathered at the A&M Records Studio in Hollywood, California to record the Stars album. The project included members of such bands as Dio, Judas Priest, Quiet Riot, Dokken, Iron Maiden, Mötley Crüe, Twisted Sister, Queensrÿche, Blue Öyster Cult, and the parody band Spinal Tap.
Ronnie James Dio had intended for the song and album to be released shortly after its recording, but contractual issues with the different artists' record labels delayed the release until January 1, 1986, somewhat diminishing the impact of its release

plus his second wife is the chair of the privately sponsored organization, Children of the Night, dedicated to rescuing America's children from prostitution.

please lower your "devil horns" in respect on this very sad day

[galaktiusman]

Amen brother... the metal world is gonna miss you Dio...

Dio was a fuckin hero to every self-respecting metalhead... and we should all have a drink just for him...

[85IbLcwQ]

Never heard of him but R.I.P.

[Cigarsstoreonline]

R.I.P. A heavy metal legend.

[spaxiaroorbes]

however much of a legend he is,he should have left this well alone

[feseEscaple]

Apparently the jerks at westboro baptist church are planning to make an appearance at Dio's funeral. Metal Heads vs WBC,taking all bets!

I think that is what their aim is, piss them off so they get their asses kicked, then sue for assault or something. Horrible.
