It's not rape if you rape everyone who accuses you.

Is that Holy Diver game Famicom-only or something? I'd like to own it if there's an NES version.

I see what you did there. Anyway, as previously stated, this is definitely a bummer.  R.I.P. Dio.

R.I.P. Dio.
Being born in 1983, I can still remember my father (who died of cancer in '97) playing Dio all-of-the-fucking-time. I first heard "Rainbow In The Dark" while I was still eating Gerber's.

I was never a fan of Rainbow nor of Dio era Sabbath but even still I'm sure this is a shock to many people. Hell even i was shocked.
RIP.

Yeah, I remember the first time I heard 'Don't Talk To Strangers'. My dad played it when I was a toddler, and it haunted me until I heard it again many many years later. \m/

3-5? They had 9 good albums. Heaven & Hell was merely one of the good ones, as opposed to the fucking fantastic ones like Paranoid, Sabotage, or the self-titled.

Okay maybe he had some good material with them but Black Sabbath, Paranoid and Master of Reality are masterpieces.

I never liked Paranoid, at least not as much as Heaven and Hell.
I still think Rainbow Rising was probably the most consistant album he made and definately the most intense. It truly is a shame he's gone.

You know what truly pissed me off?
The fact that here in Brazil, some emocore bands said Dio was among their influences.
I mean, how can Dio have influenced fucking EMOCORE?

To quote Bassnactar, an experimental electronic artist:
| Quote: |
I admit that my whole life was completely changed by Nirvana and Metallica. I loved Smells Like Teen Spirit and I wasn't even a teen yet... i just loved the raw energy. One time i read an interview with James Hetfield of Metallica, and when asked who his influences were, he gave the nod to a list of bands i either hated or had never heard of (except Black Sabbath), and i remember being shocked, because i naively thought his influences would be Megadeth, Slayer, Pantera, etc....give me a break, i was like 13 or something.
The point is, my influences are not necessarily how i sound, and they include everything from NWA to Simon & Garfunkel to The Cure to The Field Of Dreams Soundtrack to Sibilant & Metal Spark to Cannibal Corpse, Exhumed & Emperor to My Dying Bride to FreQ Nasty, Tipper, Ed Rush & Optical, to Frank Zappa to The Who to Boards Of Canada to REM to Salt N Peppa to Run DMC to Led Zeppelin to Grave to Disembowelment to Beethoven & Mozart to Mr Oizo, Mr Scruff, Mr Rogers, Mr Si Begg, Jon Stewart, Stephen Colbert, Mr Mayagi, to loma prieta earthquakes to native American flute music and the soft humming of my mother. |
How you sound doesn't always dictate what your influences were.

I have to say I never liked Dio's music, but he always just seemed like a genuinely great person, so it's sad to see him taken early by such a physically tormenting ailment.

So here's to you Mrs. Robinson. People love you more- oh, nevermind. |

Is there a Law of Conservation of Badass? If so, then there's a lot of energy floating around somewhere waiting to be redistributed.
RIP DIO

I'm probably in the minority on this, but I tend to prefer the Dio Sabbath over the Ozzy Sabbath. Mob Rules is probably my favorite Sabbath album.....or at least it's tied with the self-titled album.

Ha! My story is much the same. The Holy Diver album came out 5/25/83 and I was born 5/24/83, so the day of my birth was overshadowed by the release of the Dio album--AS I WOULD HAVE FUCKING DONE THAT MYSELF--so, I heard that album since I was a tot. My dad loved Dio. "Don't Talk To Strangers" really exemplified the vocal range that Dio had. Good stuff.
