*Manly heavy metal tears*

Oh damn and blast. This made me lose my cool. One of my greatest idols is gone.

Evil Eyes
neon knights - black sabbath
mob rules - black sabbath

and probably the one song that will rise above all and sit in my heart as my life's story and a cry to heavy metal across the stars
Rock n' Roll Children

The guys on the Bloodstock forums (the concert he was due to play this summer) are suggesting that the other bands all do a tribute setlist to close the festival. I really hope this happens.

R.I.P Dio, metal will miss you

R.I.P Ronnie James Dio,

The Following is from his website:

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.

- Wendy Dio

Sad news, and if you're looking for a discussion point, quote some of your faviorite tracks from the man himself
My god . . . it happened . . . I think the blood just drained out of my face . . . my god . . .

wow . . . well, the upside to this . . . is to those of us who have been his fan since as far back as we can remember (I know I was ever since I could remember hearing music), he's finally passed that barrier . . . he's become a true God of Heavy Metal.

He has passed from this world . . . but he's entered his own. Ladies and Gentlemen . . . let us mourn his passing, but let us PRAISE his ascension . . . I suggest we spend an hour tonight listening to his music . . . I know I will . . . I'm going to go outside, to a park or something, listen to some Dio for an hour, and give a glass of vodka to the ground, praying it reaches him.

We loved you Dio . . . more than you'll ever know. From all your fans, for all eternity . . . we will always love you. As a singer, as an artist . . . and now as a TRUE God of Metal.

He's finally moved along on his strange highways . . . he's locked up the wolves, killed the dragon for the final time, no longer to Dream Evil, the Holy Diver . . . has ascended . . .

Edit: One last thing . . . Metal will never be the same without him . . . his influence will be felt, I think, for the rest of Metal's days, but it will truly never be the same again . . . not without Ronnie James Dio . . . I know it will never be the same for me.

Somewhere out there, Ronnie Dio and Dimebag Darrel are engaged in a guitar battle of the ages.

R.I.P. Dio
Dio, Darrel, Cliff Burton, and Keith Moon will form a band in heaven, what it shall be named I don't know.

There won't be a name. People will see it and just know.

R.I.P Dio.

Completely did not expect this. I wake up this morning and see my friends Facebook status saying RIP Dio. Could not believe what I was reading.

Goddamit he was going to play download this year too...

This is almost as sad as when Dimebag was shot... I was going to see Damageplan a few weeks later.

Lords of Metal stop dying on me!!!

Rip Dio...
