Enough said. Also this shouldnt become the stereotypical image of Black Sabbath fans.

dio, on the other hand, owns the stage from the moment he brings his little self on to it.

To me, popularity has nothing to do with it. I think if people just make decisions based upon popular opinion rather than their own then your basically not being true to yourself and just generally being a sheep.
I would estimate that 90% of people who are really into Heavy Metal & dont like Dio's voice/brand him as complete **** etc either
a) have a pessimistic view based on knowledge of popular opinions.
b) havent actually listened with a clear mind (unbiasedly) to him singing.
I can accept that people just dont like his voice due to personal taste but I feel most of it is just because he isnt the original singer and they have pessimistic views towards him already before theyve even heard him singing.
