I'm right there with you. I'll be a metal head till I die. My current favorite band is Fit For An Autopsy. I'll be 56 in a few months with no sign of slowing down. The only time I feel my age is when I see my two grandkids. Hoping I can get them to listen also!
I flash back to when I was 13 working with a pick axe digging a 6 ft deep hole through clay for an oil tank listening to Holy Diver endlessly on cassette. I have it burned in my brain as it kept going w auto flip function and all I did was just pressed play once. I miss that portable radio and Ronnie
When i found out Ronnie passed away i cried all night. It just didn't seem right to be a Heavy Metal fan and know he was no longer walking on the Earth..I like to think he is now sailing over rainbows 🤟
Back then in 1984, I was finishing high school and preparing myself for college. I remember the first time I saw this video… really blowed my mind. Thanks God I still enjoy this music and also the video… what a great time the 80’s. And by the way Dio should be singing in heaven….
The greatest thing about Dio's voice is not only he had high vocal range but he had a HIGH AND HEAVY voice Feels like inside his throat got a full set of pecs and abs and muscles inside there
@@ROOKTABULA Most opera artists have aleady peaked and started to go downhill in their 50s and especially in their 60s, they can still be capable enough but there you go.
I’m listening to this great rocker today , because I am honoring my friend and brother Dan Davis. He passed away from a heart attack this morning. He was such a fan of Dio’s. Keep rocking. God bless
@@funzjag , thank you so much for your response!! He always loved these legendary Rockers. I know wherever he is, he is jamming out! I’m sure he is listening to RJD right next to him. God bless and take care
DIO's music is stuff of legends. His vocals and song writing are like "thats a DIO song" without being told who was performing. His solo albums really brought the best out of him. He left Rainbow because Blackmore wanted to go more pop and DIO said goodbye to that one. A hard rocker till the end. RIP knowing millions of us still jam out to you music.

@@PureBlood42 yeah Dio was a genius with that.

When I was a kid I used to play the Holy Diver record with a tennis racket as if it were a guitar. I was fascinated by DIO and the image of its covers. Many years later I was able to see it twice and despite its age I was not disappointed. In addition to his perfect concerts, he was a great professional, a great worker in the music industry. He left his skin at every concert and always involved the fans, he always transmitted good energy to us. The little man was the biggest voice in heavy metal. unrepeatable.
I was blessed to have seen his greatness in 1984 headlining a tour with Dokken. Having seen so many greats of rock and metal, that Dio concert in 1984 still stands out as one of the most special, most moving and most powerful I have seen. It started with that blood curdling scream and became some two hours of heavy metal art. No disrespect to the other greats, they are/were great too, but Dio was a rare gem who is so badly missed today. Bless him.
Yep! I saw them on that tour also. We skipped a few periods that morning to get tickets. A nice mom standing in front of us at the ticketmaster, let us get in front of her and we got front row, center. I will never forget that concert!
I saw that show with Dokken as well. Then I saw him the next year on the Sacred Heart tour with the fire breathing dragon. Both of them were excellent concerts. 🤘 🔥 🐉
Dio is the most alive person than anybody else- Metallica, Manowar, Judas, even the older bands- DC, Scorpions, Maiden.. DIO IS THE VOICE !!! The most sincere and honest hard and heavy vocalist!!! Respect!!! DIO FOREVER!!!!
I've listened to many, many, many different heavy metal singers and Ronnie's voice is the only one that perfectly personifies heavy metal. His voice is perfect and so is the music he sang.

Lost my dad July 30th of this year. He loved music and would always tell me about songs he'd think that I would enjoy. One of those songs being Last In Line. I remember him playing this and saying it was one of his favorites. Love you, Dad. You will always be my favorite song recommender. Rest In Piece.

Respect to Dio, but this is edited. the song is cut at exactly 02:00 skipping straight to the solo. missing this verse: "Two eyes from the east it's the angel or the beast, but the answer lies between the good an bad. We search for the truth we can die upon the tooth, But the thrill of just the chase is worth the pain." my favorite bit of the song. RIP holy diver.
John Robles It probably had to do with air time restrictions. So say MTV would only allow 4 minutes of the song for a music video and so they had to cut it in order for it to make MTV
@@UncleDaniel It's been blocked in my country just last month apparently, on the grounds that it contains materials owned by the warner music group. maybe you'll have better luck finding it. I found it on "heavy metal forces" channel. please post if you get anything.
Two bands that put on the greatest shows ever were Dio and Maiden. What sets Dio apart from everyone, then and now, and probably forever, is the breadth of his career. His earliest tunes were bubble gum rock that predated the fucking Beach Boys. Guys like Dio never die.
Além de ser um grande cantor era um grande ser humano, tenho 54 anos e tive a oportunidade de ver ele pessoalmente num show que estava trabalhando na produção de vídeo, foi um momento inesquecível 🤘🤘🤘🤘👏👏👏👏🙏🙌🇧🇷

@@anthonybanker6479 Thats not a member of Menudo. Thats Meeno Peluci the brother of Punky Brewster aka Soleil Moon Frye. He also starred in the 1982 NBC show Voyagers.
Every kid dreams of becoming a rock star. But even now in my 50's the only one I'd absolutely choose to come back as or have the same voice as, is RJD. He is so far above everyone else it's ridiculous. The perfect metal voice, which with absolute assurance I can say he will never be eclipsed by anyone else, in my life time at least. RIP Ronnie!
@@christianstruber4371 Did ya miss a question mark after ever? Anyway, we all have the best in our heads. They all have merit but DIO's voice is unmatched. Studies show that he should have lost his voice after his first belt - meaning, he is not normal. Nobody can sing like him and retain it. An example would be Derek Dick (Fish).
Great tune man... personally I think Dio had the best voice in heavy metal...seen them dozens of times...always blows my mind the voice he had...the whole band was always on key...well R.I.P DIO...your definitely missed by millions of fans..thx for the great tunes brother..Peace
I had no idea that so many of these songs that I love dearly since childhood have cool, direected official music videos! My dad just had these albums on casettes and CDs, and in 90s Russia TV was already bursting with new 90s music
The young kid in the video is meeno peluce he is the brother of soleil moon Frye he was also one of the sons in the amityville horror from 1979 with James Brolin and Margot kidder
This song for me captures all of Ronnie James Dio's vocal talents. So soft to start with but with the booming metal vocals to finish. He was the Ben Webster vocalist of Rock music. Truly magnificent.
When I start remicscing I usually end up listening to Dio, the coolest rock and roller ever. So fortunate to have seen RJD numerous times... ♥️Dio Yesteryear was so cool.. 😥.. truly miss it.

Lyrics:
We're a ship without a storm
The cold without the warm
Light inside the darkness that it needs, yeah
We're a laugh without a tear
The hope without the fear
We are coming home
We're off to the witch
We may never never never come home
But the magic that we'll feel
Is worth a lifetime
We're all born upon the cross
We're the throw before the toss
You can release yourself
But the only way is down
We don't come alone
We are fire we are stone
We're the hand that writes
Then quickly moves away
We'll know for the first time
If we're evil or divine
We're the last in line
We're the last in line
Two eyes from the east
It's the angel or the beast
And the answer lies between
The good and bad
We search for the truth
We could die upon the tooth
But the thrill of just the chase
Is worth the pain
We'll know for the first time
If we're evil or divine
We're the last in line
We're the last in line
We're off to the witch
We may never never never come home
But the magic that we'll feel
Is worth a lifetime
We're all born upon the cross
You know we're the throw before the toss
You can release yourself
But the only way to go is down
We'll know for the first time
If we're evil or divine
We're the last in line
We're the last in line
See all we shine
We're the last in
We're the last in
We're the last in
We're the last in
We're the last in
We're the first in line, oh
We're a ship without a storm
We're the cold inside the warm

Light inside the darkness that it needs, yeah
We're a laugh without a tear
The hope without the fear
We are coming home
We're off to the witch
We may never, never, never come home
But the magic that we'll feel is worth a lifetime
We're all born upon the cross
We're the throw before the toss
You can release yourself but the only way is down
We don't come alone
We are fire we are stone
We're the hand that writes and quickly moves away
We'll know for the first time
If we're evil or divine
We're the last in line
We're the last in line
Two eyes from the east
It's the angel or the beast
And the answer lies between the good and bad
We search for the truth
We could die upon the tooth
But the thrill of just the chase is worth the pain
We'll know for the first time
If we're evil or divine
We're the last in line
We're the last in line
We're off to the witch
We may never, never, never come home
But the magic that we'll feel is worth a lifetime
We're all born upon the cross
You know we're the throw before the toss
You can release yourself but the only way you go is down
We'll know for the first time
If we're evil or divine
We're the last in line
We're the last in line
See how we shine
We're the last in
We're the last in
We're the last in
We're the last in
We're the last in
We're the last in line
We're a ship without a storm
We're the cold inside the warm
We're a laugh without a tear
We're the far without the near
We're the last in line
We're the last in line
We're the last in line
See how we shine
We're the last in line
Nice

@@michelleburkholder2547 in the beginning the word was with GOD, and the word was GOD, and then a fiery angel twisted up the word so that people would tell LIES, and love MONEY, and treat other people UNEQUALLY.
Thanks for the lyrics. Only one thing; Dio says we're the first in line 6th verse down from "See how we shine."
anybody gonna realise that there whole career is a jojo refrence
This song rocks so hard. It first melted my face off when I was in 7th grade. This and Holy Diver again and again.

We don’t really know dio is in a concrete box
He was a good dude.
@michael Castle
Overall he put out great music.
Both his solo stuff and his sabbath stuff. I enjoy both.
🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
So I recently realised I really like Dio. Didn't even realise I knew so many of his songs. So awesome to realise and find a load of stuff you've been missing out on.

Some of Vivian Campbells best guitar work was those first two Dio albums!! 🤘🏻
Always a good guitarist. Just couldn't break out on his own. Dio's main complaint about him was he never wrote/co-wrote anything for the albums.
Some? It was his best hands down.
Viv is one hell of a guitarist!!!
He is truly missed. What a amazing voice and one of a kind.
I'm 52 years old and can't let go of his music!
51 here . I concur.
52 here as well. This music is timeless.
50 & couldn't agree more!
53 Still cranking it!
That's awesome that you got to be a youngster during Dio's prime years!
When I was a kid I used to play the Holy Diver record with a tennis racket as if it were a guitar. I was fascinated by DIO and the image of its covers. Many years later I was able to see it twice and despite its age I was not disappointed. In addition to his perfect concerts, he was a great professional, a great worker in the music industry. He left his skin at every concert and always involved the fans, he always transmitted good energy to us. The little man was the biggest voice in heavy metal. unrepeatable.
RIP Ronnie James Dio! King of Heavy metal
Клип - захватывающая драма! Как и полагается Дио! А голос!!!Пройдут тысячелетия, а такого голоса уже никогда не будет! Ни у кого! 👏
You got it exactly right brother!! That voice! God bless you and yours my brother in metal!
Great song from a fantastic album by a rock genius.
I was blessed to have seen his greatness in 1984 headlining a tour with Dokken. Having seen so many greats of rock and metal, that Dio concert in 1984 still stands out as one of the most special, most moving and most powerful I have seen. It started with that blood curdling scream and became some two hours of heavy metal art. No disrespect to the other greats, they are/were great too, but Dio was a rare gem who is so badly missed today. Bless him.
I went to that concert to with a gang of my 12 yr old buddies . Oakland Coliseum arena .
)w(
Saw DIO on July 23rd 1986 @ Compton Terrace just south of Phoenix 😯 Will always remember the mechanical fire breathing dragon 🔥 Extremely Awesome
Yep! I saw them on that tour also. We skipped a few periods that morning to get tickets. A nice mom standing in front of us at the ticketmaster, let us get in front of her and we got front row, center. I will never forget that concert!
I saw that show with Dokken as well. Then I saw him the next year on the Sacred Heart tour with the fire breathing dragon. Both of them were excellent concerts. 🤘 🔥 🐉
"Dude why'd my DoorDash take so long??"
"You're not gonna believe this"
Definitely on the Mount Rushmore of metal singers. What a voice!!! What a song!!!
We we're blessed to have him back in the 80s. We miss you Dio. Thanks for your awesome, timeless music and your inspiration
This song is more relevant now than ever before.
Dio is the most alive person than anybody else- Metallica, Manowar, Judas, even the older bands- DC, Scorpions, Maiden.. DIO IS THE VOICE !!! The most sincere and honest hard and heavy vocalist!!! Respect!!! DIO FOREVER!!!!
I've listened to many, many, many different heavy metal singers and Ronnie's voice is the only one that perfectly personifies heavy metal. His voice is perfect and so is the music he sang.
I will add Rob Halford to that and then I have my perfect combination of metal singers.

The Last In Line"
We're the ship without a storm
The cold without the warm
Light inside the darkness
That it needs, yeah
We're a laugh without tear
The hope without the fear
We are coming, home
We're off to the witch
We may never, never, never, come home
But the magic that we'll feel
Is worth the lifetime
We're all born upon the cross
We're the throw before the toss
You can release yourself
But the only way is down
We don't come alone
We are fire, we are stone
We're the hand that writes
Then quickly moves away
We'll know for the first time
If we're evil or divine
We're the last in line, yeah
We're the last in line
Two eyes from the east
It's the angel or the beast
And the answer lies
Between the good and bad
We search for the truth
We could die upon the tooth
But the thrill of just the chase
Is worth the pain
We'll know for the first time
If we're evil or divine
We're the last in line, yeah
We're the last in line, oh
Yeah, we're off to the witch
We may never, never, never come home
But the magic that we'll feel
Is worth a lifetime
We're all born upon the cross
You know we're the throw before the toss
You can release yourself
But the only way to go is down
We'll know for the first time
If we're evil or divine
We're the last in line, oh
We're the last in line
See how we shine
We're the last in
We're the last in
We're the last in
We're the last in
We're the last in
We're the first in line, oh
We're a ship without a storm
We're the cold inside the warm
We're the laugh without tear
We're the smile without the mirror
We're the last in line
We're the last in line
We're the last in line
See how we shine
We're the last in line
Not ‘we’re the smile without the mirror’. The correct line it’s ‘we’re the far without the near’.
Thanks for the lyrics 🤘
Thank you!
80s heavy metal is famous for jibberish lyrics. Just some guys making money, having a blast
@@a.f.h.sandberg2626 you can leave now
Listening still in 2024
Same.
Same here. 🤘
Same
His voice...so POWERFUL!!! 🤟🏻🤟🏻🤟🏻🤟🏻✊🏻✊🏻✊🏻✊🏻
This video is SO 80's Metal.....it pierced its own ear then, rode a Huffy to the keg party
🤣
Lost my dad July 30th of this year. He loved music and would always tell me about songs he'd think that I would enjoy. One of those songs being Last In Line. I remember him playing this and saying it was one of his favorites. Love you, Dad. You will always be my favorite song recommender. Rest In Piece.
Dio,YOU WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN.
Gregory Carter It’s Dio
Easily one of the top heavy metal songs of all time.
...Where The Voyagers Ends , DIO begins with Meeno Paluce!...Two of the best cassettes in collection during jr high!, "Live Evil" n'"The Last in Line!"...
I don't care what anyone else says. Ronnie was and still is the rock God !!!! I already pre ordered his book. I can't wait to read it. RIP Ronnie
Dude is a legend . Even has his own emoji. 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
Rip 🤘
oh yes, thats really true, DIOs very own emoji

A young Marty Friedman in the video, wow, Metal curiosities 🤘🏻🖤🐐
Respect to Dio, but this is edited. the song is cut at exactly 02:00 skipping straight to the solo.
missing this verse:
"Two eyes from the east
it's the angel or the beast,
but the answer lies between the good an bad.
We search for the truth
we can die upon the tooth,
But the thrill of just the chase is worth the pain."
my favorite bit of the song.
RIP holy diver.
where do i find it
Exactly why did they edit this ?
John Robles It probably had to do with air time restrictions. So say MTV would only allow 4 minutes of the song for a music video and so they had to cut it in order for it to make MTV
@@adama4791 still it should be played in its entirety...this is bull shyt....way to fck up a song....🤬
@@UncleDaniel It's been blocked in my country just last month apparently, on the grounds that it contains materials owned by the warner music group. maybe you'll have better luck finding it. I found it on "heavy metal forces" channel. please post if you get anything.
Uma potência de voz!!!! Espetacular!!!
Two bands that put on the greatest shows ever were Dio and Maiden. What sets Dio apart from everyone, then and now, and probably forever, is the breadth of his career. His earliest tunes were bubble gum rock that predated the fucking Beach Boys. Guys like Dio never die.
This song kicks ass, only ronnie could do it like this, awesome brother, RIP RONNIE 🙏
Excellent!!!! Our dear Ronnie will stay forever in our hearts!
Wow. That’s Meeno Peluce on the bike. He was a child star in the early 80’s. I went to the same summer camp he did back then.
Além de ser um grande cantor era um grande ser humano, tenho 54 anos e tive a oportunidade de ver ele pessoalmente num show que estava trabalhando na produção de vídeo, foi um momento inesquecível 🤘🤘🤘🤘👏👏👏👏🙏🙌🇧🇷
DIO was a far ahead of his time, I was lucky enough to see him twice here in Las Vegas, I miss him almost like a brother.
The voice of DIo is very powerful, and its singing style is like a raging flame, leaving a lasting impression on people
Song was way ahead of it's time .
This Song is Timeless😎🤘💞
Definitely.
It wasn’t. It’s cheesy as hell. Children listen to this when getting into better metal music. This is baby’s first rock band.
@@salvadorpradoramos what
@@salvadorpradoramos yeah ok 👌
My Buddy Matt Tomko passed on October 2022 RIP!! He and I loved this song and lifted weights listening to DIO in 1985!!!!
0:00 - 4:03 is the best part
RIP my man Dio, the greatest metal singer that ever lived, gone too soon.
Aqui no Brasil , nos tivemos uma Celebridade , cantor , compositor, músico e maestro , com essa mesma energia nos vocais : o nosso amado André Matos !
Kudos to Vivian Campbell for one of the most soulful and epic metal guitar solos-
Vivian does not get enough credit for his career. The guy is top notch talent.
10 years, his music lives on forever.
With all our modern technology and recordings. This is still to this day one of the most iconic music videos. Ahead of its time. Ahead of the times now. 👏
These guys still rock!! Long live the 80's!!

My favorite song of my favorite musician. No one can replace you,Ronnie!
Ronnie knew about The Borg. Lol. That voice. All the wind Ronnie had as such a small person is amazing. The voice of the Northern Winds.
Nunca tinha ouvido esse hino do Dio, mais uma pra playlist. O vocal do Dio em conjunto com um fodendo solo de guitarra, é a perfeição de música.
He will never be replaced
Long live DIO!!!!!!🤘🏾🤘🏾🤘🏾🤘🏾
His body only died,but his spirit is inside in all of his fans.a super great artist.i did some of music cover toons back in time.last in line was one,for sure.
Ronnie Dio continues to live today with the great songs he created and we continue to hear his incredible voice. The dragon slayer lives. 🤘

Nice of Dio to tumble for the kid. Great guy.
Muda.
ZA WARUDO
Yep
Oh you mean the kid from menudo Puerto Rican boy band.
@@anthonybanker6479
Thats not a member of Menudo. Thats Meeno Peluci the brother of Punky Brewster aka Soleil Moon Frye. He also starred in the 1982 NBC show Voyagers.
@@adamn7516 Yes it is I remember so, from the show VOYAGERS!
Every kid dreams of becoming a rock star. But even now in my 50's the only one I'd absolutely choose to come back as or have the same voice as, is RJD. He is so far above everyone else it's ridiculous. The perfect metal voice, which with absolute assurance I can say he will never be eclipsed by anyone else, in my life time at least. RIP Ronnie!
finally. after a long search, I have found it, the most 80s thing that has ever existed in the universe
song doesnt remind me of the 80s, it just happened to come out then..... its timeless
This is like 70s but in the 80s
This is dio .....a song made in the 80s for all time before and after....... we miss you dio
@@liamthomas419 the exact reason why Dio is one of the only 80’s band I like
I think he means the video. It was very 80s looking
was watching Loudwire with Satchel from Steel Panther and he said he grew up with this song. big fan myself of Dio. Holy Diver!!!!!
Great song, and the pipes on the man. He may not have been a giant physically, but his voice is monstrous.
Excellent video, best metal singer ever and one of his best songs! 😎🤘🏻
Nah..... Best singer ever!
@@laylathomas6410 One of the best singers ever. Listen to Aretha Franklin, Freddy Mercury and Tina Turner!
@@christianstruber4371 Did ya miss a question mark after ever? Anyway, we all have the best in our heads. They all have merit but DIO's voice is unmatched. Studies show that he should have lost his voice after his first belt - meaning, he is not normal. Nobody can sing like him and retain it. An example would be Derek Dick (Fish).
@@69ozz69 Bruce Dickinson walking the earth.
Dio was definitely near the top, but Rob Halford is the true Metal God.
Great tune man... personally I think Dio had the best voice in heavy metal...seen them dozens of times...always blows my mind the voice he had...the whole band was always on key...well R.I.P DIO...your definitely missed by millions of fans..thx for the great tunes brother..Peace
I had no idea that so many of these songs that I love dearly since childhood have cool, direected official music videos! My dad just had these albums on casettes and CDs, and in 90s Russia TV was already bursting with new 90s music
Дио! Чистый ангельский мЕтал! Покойся с миром, гений!
Every sat i have a beer 4 dio. JUST TO THANK DIO 4 HIS VOICE & THE MUSIC. and tonight i have a beer ...thank u dio . i . i will never forget you,
The memories
The young kid in the video is meeno peluce he is the brother of soleil moon Frye he was also one of the sons in the amityville horror from 1979 with James Brolin and Margot kidder
This song for me captures all of Ronnie James Dio's vocal talents. So soft to start with but with the booming metal vocals to finish. He was the Ben Webster vocalist of Rock music. Truly magnificent.
When I start remicscing I usually end up listening to Dio, the coolest rock and roller ever. So fortunate to have seen RJD numerous times... ♥️Dio
Yesteryear was so cool.. 😥.. truly miss it.
