Goodbye Ronnie James Dio

I didnt hear of his passing until Tuesday when I came back to the real world. From his days in Rainbow, Black Sabbath and Dio, he turned out some amazing rock anthems.

Not only that, he invented this:

RIP Ronnie

Going to High School in the 80’s i was in the heart of his “Dio” days. Seen him in concert many times. I still think the Sabbath Album Heaven and Hell was on of the best albums made.
He did freak me out being into dragons, castles and weird stuff. Music was still good! RIP!
Just a teaser of lyrics I can remember, the guy has some good ones………
Sing me a song, you’re a singer
Do me a wrong, you’re a bringer of evil
The devil is never a maker
The less that you give, you’re a taker
So it’s on and on and on, it’s heaven and hell

When there’s lightning – you know it always brings me down
Cause it’s free and I see that it’s me
Who’s lost and never found
I cry out for magic – I feel it dancing in the light
But it was cold – I lost my hold
To the shadows of the night

There’s no sign of the morning coming
You’ve been left on your own
Like a Rainbow in the Dark !

Holding the bic lighter up for Dio! I do agree that I also think the Heaven and Hell album was the best! I still have it somewhere with the other old albums. Good hard rock party music!

FreeBird……….

Just kidding!

Here’s to Dio.

I have always thought his Name alone was cool!
Ronnie James Dio RIP

“Whenever you dream you’re holding the key, it opens the door to let you be free”-RJD

RIP

We’ll Know for the first time
if we are evil or divine…..
were the LAST IN LINE

Or, does anyone remember MOB RULES Album??….
Oh! You’ve nothing to say
They’ll drag you away!
If you listen to fools……
The mob rules

Man, someone take me back to the 80’s!

Slay a dragon in his name!!!!

Hands down the greatest Metal singer ever… he was only 5’1″ but his voice was larger than life… i sincerely miss him.

Ronald James Padavona RIP – Gave us some great tunes over the years that we all remember
Golden Rules wasn’t a popular hit, but I related to it a lot when I was about 18 and realized i needed to move out of the city ASAP.

Hush now children – lullaby
Steal what you can’t borrow
Oh how brave you are
And your world has
Come so far

Are you saved
Have you been told
Right is the enemy
Too bad, too late

Write this down
(I) don’t believe in sanity ???
Or reading the instructions
Throw ’em all away, hey

Golden rules, Sunday school
Crazy

Wheels go round
Angry machines, designing your destiny
Digital dreams, with no heart, no soul

Golden rules, Sunday school
You’re all crazy now

Here’s the situation
The rest are gettin’ pretty
You’re melting in the city

Father says to mother
Yeah, if you really wanna trash it
Go ahead and smash it

Are you saved
Now when you go to sleep tonight
One way or another
If you don’t die before you wake
Do it unto others

Golden rules, made more fools
Sunday school, you’re all crazy

Hush now children
Don’t you cry
We’ve just killed tomorrow
How sad you are
That your world has gone too far

Or who could forget?

Kill yourself and worship satan
Spend your life on drugs just hatin’
Everything and everyone
Kill yourself it’s lots of fun!

Um… I actually made that up; but it could have been a good metal song, maybe….
