No what a bloody horribe tragedy.

Feeling down now, gotta go pay hommage at the record player. :cry:

There will never be another metal singer like Ronnie. Not ever, not Ozzy, Dickinson, Halford, not anyone.

Seeya Ron.

Dischordia.

Rest in Peace Ronnie James Dio. One of my all-time favorite singers of the late 70's 80's.

I was a fan of Rainbow and Dio. He wasn't that old and it seems like it's just another reminder of my own mortality.

That guy just "had it". Were there higher screamers? Yep.

But as far as a full frequency range, he was unbeatable. His voice never thinned out, and live he hardly ever laid down on a note.

There are many singers that sound great on record, or early in the tour before they blow their voice out. RJD was never that guy.

Godspeed, RJD!!!
