RIP Ronnie James Dio

[Chris P.]

I read all kinds of messages Ronnie died. But also it's a hoax...

If it's true: RIP, Ronnie!

It is true unfortunately.  R.I.P. Ronnie James Dio!

Oh, and I love that Glover video.  I'd forgotten about that record he put out.

The rumors started last night and Wendy Dio issued an announcement that he was still alive but not doing well.  He passed away at 7:45 AM.  RIP Ronald James Padavona.

I really loved the first 3 Rainbow records. (4 if you include "On Stage")  I was in Panama from 1976 through 1979 so I missed a lot of great shows.

Great songs, stand up guy. Killer pipes right through to the end. Been trolling youtube all day listening to his body of work. I LOVE his early doo-wop type stuff. RIP.

[Nocturnal]

Sad news. RIP RJD.

I got to interview Ronnie at one point.  All I had to do was mention Black Sabbath, and he was off.  He had some insecurities, but I always liked what he did.  This is one of my favorites with Rainbow.  It was a little out of the mold.
