Ronnie James Dio, a singer with the bands Rainbow, Black Sabbath and Dio, whose powerful, semioperatic vocal style and attachment to demonic imagery made him one of the best-loved figures in classic heavy metal, died on Sunday morning, according to an announcement on his Web site by his wife, Wendy. He was 67.

one of the true, metal, greats. So influential as a vocalist and probably the first to throw up the horns!

This sucks. Im surprised Ozzy outlived him. All those lame "punk" bands of this decade that started throwing up the devil horns should be paying their respects right about now.

I've no idea what you're talking about... Well, sort of...




And, I've got to say, seeing Black Sabbath and Bada in the same post feels quite weird...

Ohh man, I wish to hell that we had such vile, putred hate mongers feeling they had the right to protest their out-dated, backwards and plain disgusting views in public over here................because they would quickly realise the mistake when I am leading the hoard of people wanting to beat them to death with their own plackards.

Heres a great quote from someone on CNN

Dio thank you for the message of hope and strength......if that is the devils work i say GOOD JOB THEN! vs a message of hate and judging the unknown.
