Ronnie James Dio Tribute


By Swag - Posted on 21 May 2010

This is a sad entry in swag's classic™ clip today. As some of you may know, Ronnie James Dio passed away this past Sunday from stomach cancer at 67. He was the former singer of Rainbow, Black Sabbath (after Ozzy), Dio, and the newly formed Heaven and Hell. In fact just last month Dio had just won an award for best metal vocalist.

I was debating even posting this as I suspect that at most one person on here even knows who Dio is, but I figured that I'd do it anyway. He was one of the ugliest dudes in metal, but also had the most consistantly powerful voice around.

Actually, I'm kinda surprised YOU know who he is. Was.

Damn, time to put my records on eBay...

most people my age probably have no idea who he was either. Kids these days don't know a real musician when they hear/see one.

And send all records to swaggy!
