Rock In Peace

I really wish id got to see the Dio Sabbath line up. I assume thats what you saw Tore? Ive seen the Ozzy line-up which for me, is the definitive and theres no comparison but theres some stuff decent stuff from the Dio era.

Goddamn it. In commemoration of this horrible tragedy, today is officially-

-day.

Mojo · 05-16-2010, 05:56 PM

Ive been playing Heaven and Hell, Mob Rules and Dehumanizer so far today. But that will make an appearance soon among others.

I was wondering why they pulled out of the Sonisphere festival (Heaven & Hell that is) and obviously they knew something we didn't. Very saddened by this news as I was hoping to see him with the sabbath guys in June. RIP even if your lyrics were a crock you still made some damn classic Metal.

One of my favorite singers. He was on the hottest of hot streaks during the late 70's/early 80's with Rainbow Rising, Long Live Rock n Roll, Heaven and Hell, Mob Rules and Holy Diver. I'll remember him as one of the greats.

Stunning album and one that helped me through my teenage years a lot. Still sounds good over 25 years later.

Wow this sucks. I'm gonna give Heaven and Hell a listen tonight.

I just found out about this. Very sad day for music. He will surely be remembered as a metal icon.
