The only time I was ever lucky enough to catch him live was the Heaven&Hell tour when they brought it to NZ. As a side note, I would love to know who was the drummer at that venue. I want to know what that vertical stack was.
It brings tears to my eyes to see younger generations really appreciating the music that was so important and such a huge part of my youth! Thank you for the validation!
Yup, when he belts out that "Hoooooooooooooooome" line everything starts melting around him. Welcome to the wonderful journey that is heavy metal music.
It’s always amazing to see young folks as yourself witnessing this great giant of a singer/performer. Just imagine living this in real time. I was blessed enough to see Dio live in rainbow Black Sabbath and his solo career. Rock n metal gave us all we needed musically and lyrically. RIP Dio. Gone but never forgotten. Thank you🤘
My sister snuck me into a Rainbow Concert, featuring Dio. In 1977. I was 12 years old. I WAS HOOKED ON DIO. I too have explained that experiencing RONNIE JAMES DIO, live, to me, is like seeing a Great White on the TV, compared to seeing one up close & personal, when cage diving. DIO WAS A FORCE OF NATURE!
Karin hicks. Great story. You snuck into a real rock show. 🤘I too caught the 77 tour. My sister took me. I was a tender 10 years old. Been rocking since I was 5 or so. 🤘
@@Frank-jf2jm I was 12 in 77. My sister also snuck me into see many of the metal greats. ALICE COOPER, JUDAS PRIEST, KISS, NEW YORK DOLLS, ECTRA. ROCK ON.
@@abdullahmohammady7568 - Brad said he was 40 years into his career “at this point” - meaning at the point that he performed at this venue and made the video she was watching. And yes, he has since passed. But he WAS ALIVE when he made this “at that point”…
Dio is one of the best male vocalist ever. He can sing so gently then explode in an instant. His range is amazing and belts out without struggling and was still singing beautifully up until the end, even with all he put his voice through, epic.
It allways crack me up people never hear DIO...lot power in that voice I was stunned first time I saw him Could not believe that voice came from such little guy DIO was amazing
A testament to healthiness of his technique is that he performed with excellent voice all the way to the end, 53 years of singing performances in total.
You were headbanging like a pro! I love that!🤘 Anybody who isn't moved by Ronnie's vocals needs to check their pulse. He had a great career and was a genuinely good person, from his interviews to the way he connected with his audience. Ronnie James Dio is very much missed. 😔🖤
Dio was such an amazing vocalist and from all the interviews I had seen from different people he was an all-around good person. HE would go out of his way for his fans. It is mind blowing that he had very little vocal training. One of his best vocal performances was the song Mistreated by Rainbow, the live version from 1977 in Munich.🤘
It's quite unbelievable that Dio was just raw talent and self taught practice with no formal training. He had a million techniques with his voice, and and incredible stamina. He could belt an E-vowel effortlessly, often while combining vibrato and distortion on his voice. Zero AutoTune since it wasn't even invented at the time. He had a very theatrical style of singing. He embodied the lyrics with his voice. I grew up listening to Dio and as a teenager I had posters of Dio on the walls in my bedroom :) Fun fact, he was the one who started the whole "Devils horn" hand sign which you'll see at every metal concerts these days. He once said he got it from his Italian grand-mom who used it as a kind of "ward off evil" sign.
By now I have seen several vocalist/reactors be amazed by the singing of Dio. Thanks to these reactions I’ve come to know his work better. I already knew he was an icon and a legend, but now I see what a bold, powerful and dramatic frontman he was. And also a very decent human being: he was once asked in a Q & A what made him the most angry, and he replied, “Whenever anyone abuses small children or animals.” I instantly knew he was a very good man as well as a great singer.
No one lasts as long as Dio, or Bruce Dickinson, or Rob Halford, without high-level professional vocal care and training. Between shows, tours, albums, etc., so much focused time is spent preserving and refining their voices. Now, those are professional, dedicated, vocal masters.
The thing that always amazes me with Ronnie is how damn effortlessly he does what he does. Other singers have to lay every ounce of breath they can muster into it and he just does it without seemin one bit like it strains him.
every time I see young people 'get it' with our gen X music, the heroes we had growing up....no internet, no cell phones, just music, this was our culture, and seeing young people 'feel' this music gives me a little hope for their future!
Ronnie played a trumpet as a boy. Playing a wind instrument requiring strong breathing control could be the reason he had so much control of vocal range.
listen to dio - an angel is missing- dio dio doo wop, and was really good at it- the elves- west virgina, he was lead on the elves- dude could sing anything- imagine going from doo wop to metal- he was a beast
Some will say he was the greatest singer ever for Rock and Metal. I'm sure not gonna argue. Watch the movie Dio-Dreamers Never Die. What an amazing life this man led.
My favorite things about your videos are you curiosity in seeking out artists that I doubt you'd listen to otherwise, your enthusiasm, and your appreciation for talent that seems to me to be outside your wheelhouse.
My late wife wanted to see dio he just happened to be close to us on this tour. So I wanted to surprise her and score some tickets it was hard it was before Internet but I found 2 tickets I'm not going to say what I paid you call me a fool😂 but Iu would walk through firey to make my wife happy. Misus you baby. U tickets stubs in photo albums. I miss concerts that was my generations social networking. 😅
I remember when i bought the LP, back in the 80s. Went home and this song came up. I still gets the same smile and chills all over my body.. I miss him greatly. I saw him live in 2000. I was in the precens of greatness.
The closest thing to Dio that I’ve heard since he passed is the family band Liliac. Their singer, middle child Melody Cristea, has a unique voice with a similar rasp. I highly recommend them, and they’ve covered this song at the request of Dio’s widow Wendy.
You should really watch his live in London tour,he was 62 or 63 I believe ,his last tour before the cancer took his body but not his soul and legacy,his performance in the songs Don't talk to strangers and Rainbow in the dark was just phenomenal,R.I.P. Ronnie James Dio,The Godfather of Metal!🤟
Also around that time he did one last tour with Black Sabbath, do their show at Wakken, Heaven and Hell is the best version of that song I have ever heard/seen.
Great reaction to a great legend!!! Subbed when I saw this!! I have been listening to "The Master Of Metal" since I was a twelve year old little girl. I am now sixty-five and still listening to this magnificent man daily. There will never be another one like Ronnie to ever walk this planet IMO. He is the best vocalist and frontman to ever grace us with his presence! I loved him in Rainbow, Black Sabbath, Dio, and when Black Sabbath changed their name to Heaven and Hell. Such a fantastic rabbit hole to jump in. Looking forward to hearing more of him! R.I.P. Ronnie. You are sorely missed.
Watching your reaction, listening to your analysis of his voice and the bands performance, gives me a feeling from the first time I heard this song. The Last In Line is one of my top favorite songs by Dio. And you nail it with your description. So lovely to watch you enjoy it. Let Dios message live on. 🤘 You Rock 🤘 We Rock 🤘 Rock On 🤘
RIP RONNIE We love and miss YOU!!! Thank you for your reaction good for you to reach out different Genre, seen Ronnie LIVE home in New Zealand 🇳🇿 and man he rocked it will never forget…. ROCK ON 🤘
I remember when I was 15yrs old , me and my twin brother are always listenings to some metal history , that's the FIRST TIME when we feel LUCKY AND GREATEFUL to have a such a gifted ecperience to listen to all LEGENDARY MUSIC like this. now WE REALLY LOVE DIO , to all kids out there who love all kinds of OLD SONGS ... YOUR IN A GOOD WAY OF YOUR LIFE
To me is a joy watching a young and very talented woman learning about rock and metal music (which I grew up with btw). My question is, is it just to get to know it or are you really getting into it and we’re gonna have a classical singer addicted to metal? Cause that’ll be awesome! Keep up the good work Aaliyah! Espero verte triunfar como artista a ti también 😉
Back in high school I've seen him live we called him the metal midget it was a term of endearment cuz we couldn't believe such a small guy had such a huge voice all my friends loved his singing
I'm not sure when this was recorded, but I think he was pushing 60 around this period. To do the things he did at that time in his career is crazy. I was never a pro or serious about singing but was in the choire in my younger years and regret sort-of dismissing men like RJD as "the norm" for vocals. I think Dimash is the only guy I can think of that comes close to the masters of the 70s and 80s.
I see Tracy G on Guirars so and I'll say this was during Angry Machine Tour in 1998 so that would put Ronnie around 55 years of age. I personally saw that Tour so I believe this video is from 1998
Dio started out in the late 50's as "Ronnie and the Red Caps" singing teen love songs. He evolved with rock music through the hippy age, prog rock era, hard rock and metal. He is one of the legends of rock and roll.
Ronnie sang with so much color and passion - apart from his flawless diction (which not many rock/metal singers can boast of), he was a masterful storyteller who used his vocal power to draw the listener into his web. A truly one of a kind artist - which is why he is loved by so many. I was blessed to see him once as a solo artist and once again with Heaven & Hell at the tail end of his life... and he was unmatched at both ends of his life.
Classic tune and one of my faves by him that me and my buddies partied to in H.S. in the early-mid 80s (Class of 85'). College Class of 93'. I appreciate you're an opera singer who's not judgemental and very complimentory of metal and rock music. A few rock/metal lead singers with an opera background are a couple of my faves (Rob Halford of Judas Priest and Geoff Tate of Queensryche). Man that dude can flat out hit the notes! It's ageless music and this coming from an over-the-hill metalhead about to turn 57.
Wow I don’t think I’ve seen this performance video. I remember the official video which wasn’t a live performance. That vocal part of repeating the lines real fast was like a vocal machine gun firing belts! Amazing!
I saw him I 91 I believe at a bar.. nightclub sing last in line album and holy diver album back to back, I stod right in front of him in the bar n imm 5"5" n I could look down at him in his eyes so I'd say he stood at 5"2 if that n I've seen 100's of live shows and he is the best hands down I've ever heard live.. Jeff tate being next. Best show I've ever seen!
For anyone looking for him.... it is spelled Geoff Tate, he fronted Queensryche, and in his prime was definitely among the elite. Take Hold of the Flame was my favorite by him.
Dio is older here. And still he sounds so good. You should react to him live in Black Sabbath performing Heaven and Hell from around 1980 i think. Their is an amazing live performance of that song on youtube Great reaction😀👍
He is about 51 years old (Born 1942), actually the same age that i am currently. He was still going strong at this point, i personally think he peaked about 10 years earlier in the Holy Diver era when he was about 40.
@@Stefan- His actually around 55 on this video. This had to be 1998 during Angry Machine with Tracy G, I saw that show. Dio died in 2010 at 67 years of age so yes..I believe he was around 55.
Arguably, Ronnie James Dio was the greatest vocalist of his genre. He’s always completely blown me away. I’d be curious to see you react to Nevermore’s song “Voyager”. The singer Warrell Dane was shockingly unique. He did things with his voice that I’ve really never heard anyone else do.
Soo. As you're probably becoming more aware, there are a mere handful of classically trained female vocalists out there killing it in some pretty impressive bands. Various genres, of course. But just. Absolutely. Killing. It... No pressure, but just sayin - no telling where your performance path may lead if you keep indulging us old rockers by delving into so many of these great "rock" acts. ANYTHING is possible! Love your reactions! Cheers rl 🤘👹🤘
I saw Dio in Denver's red rocks amphitheatre in the 80's...Flames on top of the mountains surrounding the stage. A foggy night, just an unreal concert.
@AaliyahCapili I truly wish you could have seen so many of the rock bands and phenomenal frontmen of my younger days ..I really think you would have had so much fun seeing some of the true legends that we seem to be losing more and more these days...I love your channel, please keep exploring the musical past...It's good for the soul.
IT IS GREAT TO SEE A YOUNG TEEN AGE OPERA SINGER TO APRICIATE A HEAVY MEATAL SINGER......... ONE OF THE BEST SINGERS EVER RONNIE JAMES DIO R.I.P RONNIE.... THANK YOU Aaliya
Back in 1998, so 25 years ago i met Ronnie on a cruise ship going from Helsinki Finland to Stockholm Sweden. I was working there as a black jack croupier. Ronnies comes to the pub, grabs a beer and sits down on my table. It was just me and him. We had a nice chat for at least half an hour. He was so nice to me and i really wanted him to win, but he didn't. Before he left he gave me his autograph. He wrote on his beer coaster. To Joni mr Magic, Ronnie James Dio. Nice memory to have with one of the greatest!
for a young lovely lady like you to appreciate this kind of music such as Dio, is very refreshing for a 56 year old working man as myself , construction worker, still playing this song on the job site, keep at it miss, keep this music alive
Nice, he was great no matter if in ELF, Rainbow, Black Sabbath or solo, he always delivered. Try Heaven and Hell or Lonely is the Word from Black Sabbath, Dio shines on those songs (as does Tony Iommi on guitar). Enjoy! 🎵🎸🎤🎹🎶
I only got to see him in concert once and he was an incredible singer and very, very nice, he took photos and signed everything for fans after the show.
Its so gratifying to me to see such and talented young lady such as your self enjoying Ronnie James Dio. If you were wondering where he got his vocal power from its from his dad making him practice 4 hrs per day playing the trumpet... That built his lungs. I highly recommend watch jack blacks movie, "the pick of destiny" ronnie has a couple of awesone cameos in that film. Also, the documentary, "Dio, dreamers never die"... That is an amazing doc on the mighty Ronnie James Dio... his life and his legacy in the Rock world.
Dio was my Introduction to Heavy Metal Music in the early 80s, I was very fortunate to have seen him Live 16x including with Sabbath! My musical Hero.🤘
You should check out the band"LILIAC" covering this song at duo cancer fund raiser, also the band and their version of the song was endorsed by Ronnie James duo Wife!
Ronnie James Dio was such an iconic singer. A metal God! He had such a killer voice! R.I.P. Ronnie!🤘🤘🎸🎸🔥🔥. Your reaction was spot on, and on the way to becoming a headbanger!😊
A good example of Dio this, he just does whatever he bloody likes with his voice and we listen with our mouths open in awe. This was the last song of the set before encores.
Just threw a subscribe - because I love how sincere you were in this! And I love your insight in Dio's voice. He's been taken away from us too soon (as many of the great ones are!). A lot of the times, I feel like the reaction video folks are just milking it - but because you talked about how he sings and provided that insight - I could tell you are so into it and so sincere in how you express yourself. Will need to check out your other videos. Thank you again for doing #Dio.
Hello Aaliyah. Ronnie James Dio is one of the best voices of heavy metal (for many fans is the best), and I feel very happy with your reaction, like ever. And you look fantastic, like ever. Bye, bye, and stand fine. Greetings from 🇨🇱 Pd. Sorry for my bad english, 😃
Really cool to see this reaction! This is the song that I typically pick to introduce Dio to people, as it really shows off RJD's vocal power. Now that you've checked RJD out with Rainbow and Dio, you should jump into his Black Sabbath stuff too. Heaven & Hell is arguably his most iconic song for the long-time fans of his (and most likely his personal favorite), and it's one that I highly recommend checking out.
when dio and disturbed toured together, disturbed's singer, david draiman was so excited to meet his hero, dio... he went up to dio and asked about his vocal warn up technic and dio said 'if you have to up, maybe you don't have it" lol
I saw him June 9, 1997 at the Embassy Hotel in London Ontario. Not sure why he was at that tiny little bar but there was only a couple hundred people there on a Monday night. Unadvertized last minute show. Unreal.
Dio is an all time great. Small man, MONSTROUS voice.
Yeah most reactors don't notice that he was a smaller man, but if you just heard his voice you would expect a man 10 ft tall.
🥰
The only time I was ever lucky enough to catch him live was the Heaven&Hell tour when they brought it to NZ.
As a side note, I would love to know who was the drummer at that venue. I want to know what that vertical stack was.
He was so so great...not many did it like Dio...rip
I saw the Heaven and Hell Tour in Houston and they had vinny Appice playing drums at that time.@@Damoinion
It brings tears to my eyes to see younger generations really appreciating the music that was so important and such a huge part of my youth! Thank you for the validation!
Thank you very much too🥰🥰🥰
It really does. I got chills watching her hear this for the first time!!!
Yup, when he belts out that "Hoooooooooooooooome" line everything starts melting around him. Welcome to the wonderful journey that is heavy metal music.
😍😍😍
Yep. There are SO many gems like this among heavy metal, it never ceases to amaze me.
My phone melted. I'm writing this reply on a replacement phone but I made sure I paused the video before Ronnie got to that part !
I literally listen to that song just to nerd out to that! The change from a beautiful intro to that amazing belt is orgasmic!
Yes! The ground breaks up around you as you plunge straight to hell…
It’s always amazing to see young folks as yourself witnessing this great giant of a singer/performer. Just imagine living this in real time. I was blessed enough to see Dio live in rainbow Black Sabbath and his solo career. Rock n metal gave us all we needed musically and lyrically. RIP Dio. Gone but never forgotten. Thank you🤘

100% agree
Omg YES!! I was just thinking the same!
Definitely one of his best performances and my personal favorite, but I will say there are quite a few songs tied for that spot.
Thanks for your recommendation
Been lovin DIO since 1983 💜 he definitely tells a story with his vocals 3:47
Thanks so much for sharing💕
I heard that he had special mics made because he blew out the diaphragms in regular ones. He sang with such power.
😍
Me to hes voice is so powerful
The best male metal singer, right to the end. He never lost it.
This ICONIC METAL GOD, never lost sight of his fans, even when he was actively dying!!

I'm not sure when this was recorded, but I think he was pushing 60 around this period. To do the things he did at that time in his career is crazy. I was never a pro or serious about singing but was in the choire in my younger years and regret sort-of dismissing men like RJD as "the norm" for vocals. I think Dimash is the only guy I can think of that comes close to the masters of the 70s and 80s.
I see Tracy G on Guirars so and I'll say this was during Angry Machine Tour in 1998 so that would put Ronnie around 55 years of age. I personally saw that Tour so I believe this video is from 1998
Thanks for sharing
Dio started out in the late 50's as "Ronnie and the Red Caps" singing teen love songs. He evolved with rock music through the hippy age, prog rock era, hard rock and metal. He is one of the legends of rock and roll.
😍
his voice like a tiger powerful and high note and accuracy and detail in understanding meaning of lyrics
I’ll never ever ever ever get tired of people finding RJD for the first time. As I get to experience another ‘first time’ vicariously through them.
Shivers are running down my spine. Every time I hear this song, by the time he hits 'home' I am completely captivated
Thanks for sharing
Ronnie sang with so much color and passion - apart from his flawless diction (which not many rock/metal singers can boast of), he was a masterful storyteller who used his vocal power to draw the listener into his web. A truly one of a kind artist - which is why he is loved by so many. I was blessed to see him once as a solo artist and once again with Heaven & Hell at the tail end of his life... and he was unmatched at both ends of his life.
Thanks so much for sharing🌺
Classic tune and one of my faves by him that me and my buddies partied to in H.S. in the early-mid 80s (Class of 85'). College Class of 93'.
I appreciate you're an opera singer who's not judgemental and very complimentory of metal and rock music. A few rock/metal lead singers with an opera background are a couple of my faves (Rob Halford of Judas Priest and Geoff Tate of Queensryche). Man that dude can flat out hit the notes!
It's ageless music and this coming from an over-the-hill metalhead about to turn 57.
Thanks for sharing
And at concert volume! He was so good, powerful, unique.
😍😍😍
Wow I don’t think I’ve seen this performance video. I remember the official video which wasn’t a live performance. That vocal part of repeating the lines real fast was like a vocal machine gun firing belts! Amazing!
😍😍😍
It's fun to watch you rock out. Great reaction video!!
I saw him I 91 I believe at a bar.. nightclub sing last in line album and holy diver album back to back, I stod right in front of him in the bar n imm 5"5" n I could look down at him in his eyes so I'd say he stood at 5"2 if that n I've seen 100's of live shows and he is the best hands down I've ever heard live.. Jeff tate being next. Best show I've ever seen!
Thanks for sharing Mr. Mike
For anyone looking for him.... it is spelled Geoff Tate, he fronted Queensryche, and in his prime was definitely among the elite. Take Hold of the Flame was my favorite by him.
Dio is older here. And still he sounds so good.
You should react to him live in Black Sabbath performing Heaven and Hell from around 1980 i think. Their is an amazing live performance of that song on youtube
Great reaction😀👍
He is about 51 years old (Born 1942), actually the same age that i am currently. He was still going strong at this point, i personally think he peaked about 10 years earlier in the Holy Diver era when he was about 40.
@@Stefan- His actually around 55 on this video. This had to be 1998 during Angry Machine with Tracy G, I saw that show. Dio died in 2010 at 67 years of age so yes..I believe he was around 55.
@@sds4life17 No, this is from the official live DVD from Hammersmith Apollo in London in 1993, she even says that its from 1993 in the reaction video.
Thanks so much for your recommendation Mr. Martin
I saw him live. So happy to see young people discovering him! You sound awesome too by the way!
Thank you very very much
\m/ \m/ This song was probably my first introduction to Ronnie James Dio, on my local classic rock station.
🥰
Omg I really enjoyed your reaction, you totally get it! Please do more ❤
Thanks so much😍
Thank you for your reaction ❤ Ronnie was so amazing 🙏🏼❤️ Met him 5 times and he was such a great human being.
Oh wow thanks for sharing
Arguably, Ronnie James Dio was the greatest vocalist of his genre. He’s always completely blown me away. I’d be curious to see you react to Nevermore’s song “Voyager”. The singer Warrell Dane was shockingly unique. He did things with his voice that I’ve really never heard anyone else do.
Thanks for sharing
Even his lyrical TEMPLE OF THE KING will surprise.He wrote many songs
Soo. As you're probably becoming more aware, there are a mere handful of classically trained female vocalists out there killing it in some pretty impressive bands. Various genres, of course. But just. Absolutely. Killing. It...
No pressure, but just sayin - no telling where your performance path may lead if you keep indulging us old rockers by delving into so many of these great "rock" acts. ANYTHING is possible!
Love your reactions!
Cheers

🤘👹🤘
Thanks super much Mr. Law
I absolutely love how rock and roll gets EVERYONE bobbing their heads and rocking out, regardless of their musical background! She is so adorable!
Thank you very much😍
I saw Dio in Denver's red rocks amphitheatre in the 80's...Flames on top of the mountains surrounding the stage. A foggy night, just an unreal concert.
🥰
@AaliyahCapili I truly wish you could have seen so many of the rock bands and phenomenal frontmen of my younger days ..I really think you would have had so much fun seeing some of the true legends that we seem to be losing more and more these days...I love your channel, please keep exploring the musical past...It's good for the soul.
Dio makes you fearless,powerful
🥰🥰🥰
IT IS GREAT TO SEE A YOUNG TEEN AGE OPERA SINGER TO APRICIATE A HEAVY MEATAL SINGER......... ONE OF THE BEST SINGERS EVER RONNIE JAMES DIO R.I.P RONNIE.... THANK YOU Aaliya
Thanks so much too Mr. Robert
Ronnie James Dio started in the late 50's singing pop, Evolved into a guiding force of heavy metal
Thanks for sharing Mr. Bill
I absolutely love your reaction you make it even better by your enthusiasm...thank you
Thanks so much Mr. Barrera💕
Incredible singer the first time i saw him was when he fronted Black Sabbath on the Mob Rules tour 1981
😍
Aaliyah is so sweet and delightful to watch!!
Awww thank you😍
Back in 1998, so 25 years ago i met Ronnie on a cruise ship going from Helsinki Finland to Stockholm Sweden. I was working there as a black jack croupier. Ronnies comes to the pub, grabs a beer and sits down on my table. It was just me and him. We had a nice chat for at least half an hour. He was so nice to me and i really wanted him to win, but he didn't. Before he left he gave me his autograph. He wrote on his beer coaster. To Joni mr Magic, Ronnie James Dio. Nice memory to have with one of the greatest!
Wow thanks for sharing Mr. Joni
for a young lovely lady like you to appreciate this kind of music such as Dio, is very refreshing for a 56 year old working man as myself , construction worker, still playing this song on the job site, keep at it miss, keep this music alive
Thanks for sharing
Nice, he was great no matter if in ELF, Rainbow, Black Sabbath or solo, he always delivered. Try Heaven and Hell or Lonely is the Word from Black Sabbath, Dio shines on those songs (as does Tony Iommi on guitar). Enjoy! 🎵🎸🎤🎹🎶
Thanks so much for sharing Mr. Vic
I only got to see him in concert once and he was an incredible singer and very, very nice, he took photos and signed everything for fans after the show.
🥰🥰🥰
Dio the Elf with the Giant voice!!
🥰
This guy is a god to vocals he's like 5 "2 and can sing he's my top 5 singers good story teller to love this more dio
I believe Dio was 5"4 not 5"2.
🥰🥰🥰
@@sds4life17 I am 5 foot 3 inches tall and Dio was shorter than me. I had the pleasure to meet him twice.
Its so gratifying to me to see such and talented young lady such as your self enjoying Ronnie James Dio. If you were wondering where he got his vocal power from its from his dad making him practice 4 hrs per day playing the trumpet... That built his lungs. I highly recommend watch jack blacks movie, "the pick of destiny" ronnie has a couple of awesone cameos in that film. Also, the documentary, "Dio, dreamers never die"... That is an amazing doc on the mighty Ronnie James Dio... his life and his legacy in the Rock world.
Thank you very much for sharing this🌺🌺🌺
I loved the grit in his voice.
Thank you
Dio was my Introduction to Heavy Metal Music in the early 80s, I was very fortunate to have seen him Live 16x including with Sabbath! My musical Hero.🤘
🥰
You should check out the band"LILIAC" covering this song at duo cancer fund raiser, also the band and their version of the song was endorsed by Ronnie James duo Wife!
Thanks for sharing Mr. David
Your excitement is infection! Love Dio! You should also check out Deep Purple's live version of Child in Time.
Thanks so much, i will too
With almost no vocal training except breathing playing a trumpet. He came out of the womb with perfect pitch
🥰🥰🥰
Ronnie James Dio was such an iconic singer. A metal God! He had such a killer voice! R.I.P. Ronnie!🤘🤘🎸🎸🔥🔥. Your reaction was spot on, and on the way to becoming a headbanger!😊
Thanks so much for sharing🥰
One of the best Metal singers of all time! Stargazer is probably his best.
Thanks for sharing
A good example of Dio this, he just does whatever he bloody likes with his voice and we listen with our mouths open in awe. This was the last song of the set before encores.
Thank you🥰
Just threw a subscribe - because I love how sincere you were in this! And I love your insight in Dio's voice. He's been taken away from us too soon (as many of the great ones are!). A lot of the times, I feel like the reaction video folks are just milking it - but because you talked about how he sings and provided that insight - I could tell you are so into it and so sincere in how you express yourself. Will need to check out your other videos. Thank you again for doing #Dio.
Oh thank you very very much Mr.Tawmis🙏💕🙏
Hello Aaliyah.
Ronnie James Dio is one of the best voices of heavy metal (for many fans is the best), and I feel very happy with your reaction, like ever.
And you look fantastic, like ever.
Bye, bye, and stand fine.
Greetings from 🇨🇱
Pd. Sorry for my bad english, 😃
Thanks so much 😍😍😍
Really cool to see this reaction! This is the song that I typically pick to introduce Dio to people, as it really shows off RJD's vocal power.
Now that you've checked RJD out with Rainbow and Dio, you should jump into his Black Sabbath stuff too. Heaven & Hell is arguably his most iconic song for the long-time fans of his (and most likely his personal favorite), and it's one that I highly recommend checking out.
Thanks Mr. Brendan
when dio and disturbed toured together, disturbed's singer, david draiman was so excited to meet his hero, dio... he went up to dio and asked about his vocal warn up technic and dio said 'if you have to up, maybe you don't have it" lol
🌺
That smile❤
Thank you🥰
I saw him June 9, 1997 at the Embassy Hotel in London Ontario. Not sure why he was at that tiny little bar but there was only a couple hundred people there on a Monday night. Unadvertized last minute show. Unreal.
Thanks for sharing
Wow, you're lucky. I wish I could hear Dio for the first time. It truly was a magic moment in my life.
