R.I.P. Ronnie James Dio. I'm still a fan of his stints with Black Sabbath and his own stuff was great too. That man was a badass and if I remember correctly (pretty sure I'm not) I think he was the originator of the devil horns too.

R.I.P. RJD

YouTube - Black Sabbath Die Young

Awesome devil horns around the 3:55 mark

Neon Knights is one of my favorite all-time heavy metal tunes, with Slipping Away and Mob Rules up there as well. Farewell to a legit rock star.

RIP DIO. Man what a loss, hard to believe he was 67, I knew he was up there but you wouldnt know it by looking at him and he could still sing his ass off. I love the stuff he did with Rainbow and ofcoarse his first DIO album was flat out crazy good.

Pioneer Metal head! Loved his music......
RIP RJD

If you listen to fools . . . THE MOB RULES! RIP Ronnie.

Great musician. Holy Diver was awesome back in the day...still is now!

I had no idea he was that old. Probably a feat for a hair band-era rocker to live to 67.
