Quote from: wikipedia
He was widely hailed as one of the most powerful singers in heavy metal,[1] renowned for his consistently powerful voice and for popularizing the "devil's horns" hand gesture in metal culture. He was collaborating on a project with former Black Sabbath bandmates Tony Iommi, Geezer Butler, and Vinny Appice, under the moniker Heaven & Hell, whose first and only studio album, The Devil You Know, was released on April 28, 2009.[2] He died of stomach cancer on May 16, 2010.

Message from Wendy Dio

Today my heart is broken, Ronnie passed away at 7:45am 16th May. Many, many friends and family were able to say their private good-byes before he peacefully passed away. Ronnie knew how much he was loved by all. We so appreciate the love and support that you have all given us. Please give us a few days of privacy to deal with this terrible loss. Please know he loved you all and his music will live on forever.

God is an asshole; instead of killing off Bret Michaels, he preferred to end the lives of two great frontmen: Ronnie James Dio, and Peter Steele (who was so young).

Dio has been a great inspiration in my life; he made me feel proud of listening to metal, and I embraced my Italian heritage very much, thanks to the kind of impact he had on us all. He still sang SO DAMN WELL in his final years, unlike that washed-up junkie, Ozzy Osbourne.

PS: I wonder what that shithead from Def Leppard, Vivian Campbell, thinks? Just cowardly sticking his head in the sand like a fucking ostrich.

Jorn Lande is making (or made) a Dio tribute album! Usually I hate such things but this is fucking Jorn Lande, singing Dio songs. That's just a killer combination.

I was just informing those that care without starting another topic (anyways it's not like I care about slipknot.. Sadly I only liked there first album but then again I only listen to only two of there albums). Also it seem like the music industry is taking a low blow at the moment.

I'm establishing a religion with my faithful friends, and we're going to call this religion Dioism.

Praise my Lord Dio! \mm/
