this was the weird album, that album and artist that didn't fit with all the other stuff back in 1987 when i was coming on 17 years old, that was stuck in with all the New Wave. maybe the covers caught me, and that's why i picked them up. but tracks like this pulled me in. made me listen. made me stay. thanks so much for all you do, Jamel. what a great reaction. you really nailed this. so much empathy, so much humanity, in everything you do. peace & health & love to you and your family.
@@greggogan3596 dude! Man, I'm jealous. Dio is the king and I never got to see him. I saw pretty much everyone else from that era, but he just can't be beat.
@@greggogan3596 I was there also I think the Mormon Church owned the Barn we were heckled in line it was weird but it was great seeing Dio in that venue.
For those of you that haven't discovered the band Liliac, they do two AWESOME covers of these two songs. They are a band of brothers and sisters , at the time they were all teenagers
Viv Campbell was a real axe beast back then... I mean, he's still great but during the Dio years he really stood out as a guitar virtuoso, preceding Vai and Satriani
@@eduardojuselinodiazmartine4271 I TOTALLY AGREE! I WAS A BIG DEF LEPPARD FAN BACK IN THE DAY WHEN IT WAS PETE AND STEVE ON GUITARS! I DID GET INTO "PYROMANIA AND HYSTERIA"? BUT NOT LIKE I DID WITH MY FAVORITES "ON THROUGH THE NIGHT AND HIGH 'N DRY"! THEY SEEM TO BE PULLING BACK ON THE HEAVY RIFFS KNOW DAYS! VIVIAN WITH DIO AND HIS GUITAR WORK ON LAST IN LINE ( BAND) ARE SO MUCH BETTER!
Yes!! This!! Speaking of Rainbow would love a reaction to Stone Cold (of course a different lead singer), a great 80s track. I remember the video being in heavy rotation on MTV. Those were the days.
Jamel, you don't know how happy you make me. Bro, I have a very broad musical horizon. Being Black, you know Black dudes like me are rare who listens mainly to Metal. I'm 47 years old now and most of these bands were huge when I was coming up in the 80's. People think that these guys were just playing crazy guitars and screaming and that was so far from the truth. These dudes were very talented. A great song for you is Whitesnake "In the Still of the Night" You'll love it. From brotha to brotha, Coverdale had some pipes. ruclips.net/video/EhcsegzOpAg/видео.html
@bernie7044 I'm not trying to tell you what to like but that song was a straight rip off of "In My Time of Dying" by LZ. If you love that song, do a deep dive into the LZ album Physical Graffiti
@@dusty52267 Already have it my friend. I have all of Zepplin. In fact I still have Led Zepplin III on vinyl. That was one of my first albums. I am one of the few people who actually the original Metallica Kill'em All that had Am I Evil, lol. My parents rocked. Although they didn't listen to a lot of rock and R&B they encouraged us to not live our lives based on what color we were. My music collection is vast.
@@bernie7044 I'm 47 too, and even though I was primarily a rock fan and metalhead in the '80s, by the '90s, I was getting into classical music, funk, soul, jazz, and other genres. Still love metal though! I'm a white guy who grew up in the deep South, and I had a hard time finding friends, white, black, or any color, who shared my musical tastes! You rock!
@@christianman73 Deep South you say? How deep? I'm a NW Florida guy. Honestly bro, I think jazz is the only genre that I really never got into. I don't know why. I guess because I was busy listening to everything else, haha.
"People would say to me, why does your Holy Diver album have a cover where a monster is killing a priest? And I'd reply, how do you know it's not a priest killing a monster?" - Ronnie James Dio
We Rock, The King of Rock and Roll, Gypsy, Straight Through the Heart, I Speed at Night and One Night in the City are also great Dio songs to check out. Others have already mentioned Holy Diver and Rainbow in the Dark.
OO nice choices with Gypsy and Straight Through the Hearth I don't know I've heard One Night gonna go look it up and Holy Diver and Rainbow in the Dark don't even crack top 5 Dio songs for me I know some may disagree but I believe there is much better Dio to be Heard
"I Speed at Night" and "One Night in the City" are two very good recommendations. I'm so sick of everybody always recommending "Rainbow in the Dark". It's not a bad song but there are so many better Dio and Sabbath songs in Ronnie's catalog. "Falling Off the Edge of the World" is one of my favorites.
Got to meet all the guys in 85 backstage..then ran into vivian at the jiggle ball in San Diego2002 when he was in def leppard ..chatted w him and he actually remember me from back then ..was cool we chatted gear,tone, sound.. kids ...that was for me the coolest moment.
What I really appreciate about you is that you don't make any judgement's and really listen to the music. You dissect and determine what is he really saying in a song. Love ya man.
"Hey you, you know me, you've touched me, I'm real I'm forever the one that lets you look and see And feel me I'm danger I'm the stranger And I, I'm darkness, I'm anger, I'm pain I am master The evil song you sing inside your brain Drive you insane" ---> Shadow self!
@@felipejara2234 I've dug a little deeper into this on the reddit/r/dio subreddit (I'm u/redqueen2 there). It might be a dialogue between the inner child and the shadow self. Notice how he sings with a high, childlike voice in the beginning, sounding like an insecure, anxious child, and then switches to the darker, more aggressive voice once the "hey, you..." part begins. Like another inner voice (the shadow) is addressing the child suddenly. The child is afraid of strangers, then the shadow comes in and tells the child that *he* is the stranger. In the third part it's the child talking again and it is afraid of the shadow now ("don't dance in darkness..."). In the liner notes to the Stand Up and Shout compilation he says that coming out of Sabbath he felt angry and hurt and threatened by everyone who wasn't family or close friend. It's incredible that it has taken decades and numerous discussions including one with a professor of English literature to finally put this together. I very much doubt I'm reading too much into it; it looks so obvious and deliberate, especially with the voice changes. This song is a real masterpiece.
I've always thought this song has two meanings. The things that we believe are good, but can be danger. The other meaning is one of sarcasm where people tell you not to take chances, not to dream of the good things in life because they will let you down...in the eyes of people who don't believe it's achievable. But we all know Dio didn't thing like that.
Nice, what I like about jamel's Channel he doesn't mess around if he says he's going to play another one it's right away thanks jamel Awesome song by the way
Ronnie James was an interesting cat. "Mystery", also on THE LAST IN LINE is one of the most "pop" melodies he's ever recorded. One of my favorites by DIO is "Rock N' Roll Children". You'd enjoy both of these tracks.
Great to see you finally getting round to RJD . A track you should hear from his third solo album ‘Sacred Heart’ is ‘Hungry For Heaven’. You won’t regret it
Temple of the king, Lock up the wolves, All the fools sailed away, Man on the silver mountain, Dream evil. These are all amazing hits from the one and only DIO. cant tell ya how happy i am to see you reacting to him
I love that you appreciate Dio's voice and the musicianship. The guitar player, Vivian Campbell was 19 years old and fresh from Ireland when he helped Dio create one of the best metal albums ever. You should check out "Invisible' and 'Shame On the Night' from the same album. They are lesser known songs yet will smash your face and leave you with STANKFACE that HURTS.
This is a great song, Dont Talk To Strangers Live At The Spectrum 1986 is also very awesome and a little faster and heavier. Anyways You definitely have to see Rainbow Mistreated Live at Munich 1977 its Dios best Vocal Performance, Legendary Guitarist Richie Blackmore from Deep Purple on there and Drummer is Cozy Powell a drum legend. Great Reaction.
This song always made me feel like I'm on a roller coaster. He sings the into as you're going up and when he says "Dooowwwwnnnn" is when you go over the top and the wild ride begins. Best heavy metal singer ever!
Dio is the master of lyrics ! He can tell stories that make you smile, then make you crap your dacks lol ! Mystical stories that take you places and open your mind ! Thanks for another great reaction/review ! peace n love from down under \m/\m/
Watching you discover great artists like Dio, and seeing your genuine enthusiasm and honest appreciation, is so satisfying. I've been listening to this stuff for literally decades, but you make it seem brand new again. Thank you.
I can say I'm an ex wife who never sought alimony against my lawyers advice. I told him I wasn't having my ex going around telling people he kept me up. Also, he only paid $200/month in child support at my request as well. When our children reached 18, my ex thanked me.
@@roxannemoser In Australia a woman can get 75 percent and keep the kids, many men commit suicide. I am in a men's group in Australia, were we try to support guy's going through this. Sadly many can't take it, I know I was almost there myself. Many women use this to it's full extent to crush their ex husband. Thank you for being decent.
I just want to say I love seeing you get impacted by these amazing songs....you're too cool man...I never stop watching a review by you because I like to hear what you say.....Peace to you, and thank you!✌
Yes , Dio just blows your mind away every single time. He was the master and had a mountain of his own to sing from . But he had a deep soul and ke cared for those who struggled through life . Never get tired of his music. Thank you for bringing it to light
Keep on jammin' Jamel! Love your reactions to a very diversified playlist. You are as entertaining as the songs themselves. Keep up the good work keeping music alive! Rock on brothah!
I grew up with listening to this. I have not heard this in so long and forgot just how great this gem and Dio was. My face was melted as well. I branched out to all forms of music around 17. Life is so much fuller when you give yourself options and allow perspective to take root. I enjoy the reacts and views. Cheers brother✊🏾
You are definitely keeping great music alive . Not only that your exposing folks to music that in normal circumstances they would never hear . Creating new fans. Music the great communicator . Myself and my wife love what you do. Keep it up my friend. Your doing something that's much needed in today's world . Peace to you and yours.
Wow, hadn't heard this masterpiece in years....loving it! Thanks Jamel. Great reaction. Gotta keep on looking into the catalog....so many great songs going all the way back to his days in ELF....
I went to a Dio concert in 1984 and didn't know much about him at the time. The first time I ever heard this song was live about 20 rows back. His voice... my goodness... it was perfect. And he could in real life go from that sweet intro to his full bellow in a second.
YES! You did it! You finally reviewed my favorite of all Dio songs and I couldn't be happier! You rock, Jamel! That is my buddy Craig Goldy on guitar, who also played for Giuffria and lives here in Florida. Phenomenal guitarist. The drummer is Vinnie Appice (Carmine's brother) and bassist (RIP) is a fellow bassist and friend, Jimmy Bain. Glad you did this reaction, bro. Awesome!
My interpretation of a couple of the lyrics are "Don't smell the flowers" may be about Opiates and "Don't Write in Starlight" may be about dabbling in the Occult. Just my thoughts, not saying that's what Ronnie was thinking.
I'm so glad you've come to appreciate this great music Jamal. I was the same way when I was younger I couldn't get into funk and bands like Parliament, but when I got a little little older and more open minded I sat back and listened and I started to appreciate the musicianship and the beat.
Back in the days of long hair, jeans, leather high tops laced halfway up and the tongue sticking out from the bottom of the jeans, concert t-shirts, a single dangling cross earring in the left ear, and a denim or leather jacket. That's what me and my Metal Head friends wore when partying.
Ronnie Dio was a true lyricist... so many of his songs have deep meanings or hidden messages... one of my all time favorites is "All The Fools Sailed Away"... there's perfect harmony in the rising and the falling of the sea... and as we drift along I never fail to be astounded by the things we'll do for promises... and a song
I met Vinny in 87 / 88 at a drum shop in San Francisco, and he was the nicest guy you could have ever met. I wish I would have taken the opportunity to show him what I was working on, as he would have probably liked it. I was too starstruck to have a real conversation, so I bought his book and had him sign it; Still have it to this day. The guy has one of the best grooves in hard rock / metal. HIs brother Carmine is a real banger, too. Appreciate your videos, my man. Keep it yee.
I have never seen you so blown away by a song. It truly made my day to watch your face being melted off. 😅 Keep it up, my friend!!! #keepgreatmusicalive ❤🎸
You gonna make my contacts keep floating??? I wanna go back!!!! Mid 80's were so awesome care free..... And the music kicked ass!!! No im not stuck there but wow. Ouch, the memories. Imagine listening to this as you fell asleep with headphones on at 15 in '85.....
Jamel, everything you just said about your appreciation for music is why you're simply the best at what you do! Dio's first three albums consisted of : Vivian Campbell on guitars, who later went on to play for Whitesnake and Def Leopard. Jimmy Bain on bass guitar, who played with Dio in the band Rainbow. Vinnie Appice on drums, who played with Dio in Black Sabbath/ Heaven and Hell. This was the quintessential lineup for Dio's band.
Welcome my brother, to one of the best metal albums of the 80s, bar none. Every time I listen to this song, it just crushes me. And there are other songs on this album that are just as good as this, if not better. This is a song that makes me think of an overprotective mother trying to protect her child from EVERYTHING. Not just stuff that can put you in danger, but EVERYTHING. Vinny Appice and Vivian Campbell made the perfect foil to Dio's stellar singing.
Great reaction once again Jamel! This album has so much meaning for me and I love every single song on it. My best friend when I was a kid bought it for me for my 13th birthday and I wore that cassette out! You could react to ANY of the other songs on that record and you'd love it. Peace and love brother!

That’s Vin’s drumming on Mob Rules and Live Evil.
Viv Campbell joins Def Lep after Steve Clark’s passing.
Rainbow in the dark or Holy diver but really with Dio, mostly any song is amazing
Just do the entire holy diver album then head over to heaven and hell by Black Sabbath
For those of you that haven't discovered the band Liliac, they do two AWESOME covers of these two songs. They are a band of brothers and sisters , at the time they were all teenagers
Yup.
excellent choices
sacred heart is awesome too.

Absolutely. Dio was the best.
Black Sabbath - Sign of the Southern Cross. One of my fav Dio performances!
“Oh shit, okay, all in my ear?” LOL Dio has such a profound impact on many listeners
Holy diver and rainbow in the dark are great dio songs, too. And children of the sea with black sabbath 🤘🏼

I heard a rumor about Rainbow in the dark that it was a tribute to his time with the band Rainbow does anyone know if this is true or not

Yes! 🤘🤘🤘
Plus long live rock and roll.

"People would say to me, why does your Holy Diver album have a cover where a monster is killing a priest? And I'd reply, how do you know it's not a priest killing a monster?" - Ronnie James Dio

Check out Deo's Dream Evil album, the song 'all the fools sailed away' is pretty good.
Yes it is
Vinnie Appice is the drummer.
Love this reaction!!! This song is so, so good. thank you as always for the feel good memeories.
Keep on jammin' Jamel! Love your reactions to a very diversified playlist. You are as entertaining as the songs themselves. Keep up the good work keeping music alive! Rock on brothah!
"INVISIBLE", "STRAIGHT THROUGH THE HEART", "WHEN A WOMAN CRIES", "SUNSET SUPERMAN"..... and of coarse "ALL THE FOOLS SAILED AWAY".
Rainbow in the Dark is another big hit.
Yup.
I grew up with listening to this. I have not heard this in so long and forgot just how great this gem and Dio was. My face was melted as well.
I branched out to all forms of music around 17. Life is so much fuller when you give yourself options and allow perspective to take root.
I enjoy the reacts and views.
Cheers brother✊🏾
I close my eyes and Dio is on stage.🤘
You looked exhausted after listening to that, Hahahaha!
"Don't dream of women; because they'll only bring you
Dooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooown"
LOL
Truth
You are definitely keeping great music alive . Not only that your exposing folks to music that in normal circumstances they would never hear . Creating new fans. Music the great communicator . Myself and my wife love what you do. Keep it up my friend. Your doing something that's much needed in today's world . Peace to you and yours.
Wow, hadn't heard this masterpiece in years....loving it! Thanks Jamel. Great reaction. Gotta keep on looking into the catalog....so many great songs going all the way back to his days in ELF....
Vivian Campbell on lead guitar
Haha I thought it was the Rick Springfield version ... which isn’t bad btw ☺️
Thanks Jamal. Yeah it's deep. Thank you for keeping great music alive
I went to a Dio concert in 1984 and didn't know much about him at the time. The first time I ever heard this song was live about 20 rows back. His voice... my goodness... it was perfect. And he could in real life go from that sweet intro to his full bellow in a second.
Loving the Dio. Dio fronted bands like Rainbow, Sabbath, and Elf. Check out Black Sabbath's - The Mob Rules

I truly love your reactions and your interpretation. Golden
My favorite Dio song. I just love it. Love you too my man. Looking forward to this.
You're finally going a little bit more hard metal let's try Judas priest beyond the realms of death I've asked you about 20 times In last 3 years
Dreamer Deciever/Deciever
What no love for the Mob Rules, you are all fools.
COUNTRY GIRL 🤘
YES! You did it! You finally reviewed my favorite of all Dio songs and I couldn't be happier! You rock, Jamel! That is my buddy Craig Goldy on guitar, who also played for Giuffria and lives here in Florida. Phenomenal guitarist. The drummer is Vinnie Appice (Carmine's brother) and bassist (RIP) is a fellow bassist and friend, Jimmy Bain. Glad you did this reaction, bro. Awesome!
Ronnie James Dio was amazing, he had a voice that could lift a person to heaven or drag them down to hell depending on what he was singing. RIP Dio.
I like a variety of music. Thanks Jamel for reacting to many varieties of music.
love the potrait beyond u looks cool buddy total respect to ur channel loves these reactions keep it up jamel
My interpretation of a couple of the lyrics are "Don't smell the flowers" may be about Opiates and "Don't Write in Starlight" may be about dabbling in the Occult. Just my thoughts, not saying that's what Ronnie was thinking.
I'm so glad you've come to appreciate this great music Jamal. I was the same way when I was younger I couldn't get into funk and bands like Parliament, but when I got a little little older and more open minded I sat back and listened and I started to appreciate the musicianship and the beat.
This has to be my favorite reaction video of you what a great tune
I saw Dio in the 80's at the RPI Fieldhouse in Troy, NY. Tremendous concert! Keep music alive brother!
Vivian Campbell on Guitar AWESOME 😮
Jamal love to hear you listen to these classic songs you're open-minded and one good dude.
Back in the days of long hair, jeans, leather high tops laced halfway up and the tongue sticking out from the bottom of the jeans, concert t-shirts, a single dangling cross earring in the left ear, and a denim or leather jacket. That's what me and my Metal Head friends wore when partying.
OMG yes!
Ronnie Dio was a true lyricist... so many of his songs have deep meanings or hidden messages... one of my all time favorites is "All The Fools Sailed Away"... there's perfect harmony in the rising and the falling of the sea... and as we drift along I never fail to be astounded by the things we'll do for promises... and a song
Great song. Another great video Jamel.
I met Vinny in 87 / 88 at a drum shop in San Francisco, and he was the nicest guy you could have ever met. I wish I would have taken the opportunity to show him what I was working on, as he would have probably liked it. I was too starstruck to have a real conversation, so I bought his book and had him sign it; Still have it to this day. The guy has one of the best grooves in hard rock / metal. HIs brother Carmine is a real banger, too. Appreciate your videos, my man. Keep it yee.
Great song from a great album. Check out “Shame on the Night” next or “Hide in the Rainbow “
I have never seen you so blown away by a song. It truly made my day to watch your face being melted off. 😅 Keep it up, my friend!!! #keepgreatmusicalive ❤🎸
It's like he had no control over his face or emotions & the expression was priceless. Like what the hell is happening right now?! Loved it!!!
@@scarletjohnston741 Yes! So genuine!
great song and always great watching your reactions! bonus my comment #!
This band changed my life forever in 1983 as a 15 yr old teenager. Its about time Jamal, Thank You.
Jamel_AKA_Jamal I've always listened to this type of music & Dio is at the top of my list. But watching you enjoy this made me love it even more! ❤🤘🎸
You gonna make my contacts keep floating??? I wanna go back!!!! Mid 80's were so awesome care free..... And the music kicked ass!!! No im not stuck there but wow. Ouch, the memories. Imagine listening to this as you fell asleep with headphones on at 15 in '85.....
I was there 🎧🤘😎
Drummer is none other than THE GREAT Vinnie Appice.
Love your interest in different music!!! Music is the best way to unite everyone
Jamel, everything you just said about your appreciation for music is why you're simply the best at what you do! Dio's first three albums consisted of : Vivian Campbell on guitars, who later went on to play for Whitesnake and Def Leopard. Jimmy Bain on bass guitar, who played with Dio in the band Rainbow. Vinnie Appice on drums, who played with Dio in Black Sabbath/ Heaven and Hell. This was the quintessential lineup for Dio's band.
Welcome my brother, to one of the best metal albums of the 80s, bar none. Every time I listen to this song, it just crushes me. And there are other songs on this album that are just as good as this, if not better.
This is a song that makes me think of an overprotective mother trying to protect her child from EVERYTHING. Not just stuff that can put you in danger, but EVERYTHING.
Vinny Appice and Vivian Campbell made the perfect foil to Dio's stellar singing.
One of the best concerts I've ever seen was Dio Sacred Heart tour. Please do Sacred Heart live from that tour and you will see why.
Great reaction once again Jamel! This album has so much meaning for me and I love every single song on it. My best friend when I was a kid bought it for me for my 13th birthday and I wore that cassette out! You could react to ANY of the other songs on that record and you'd love it. Peace and love brother!
