one of my all time favorites. i still spin heaven and hell on a regular basis start to finish. bought all his albums as a kid and anything else he did.
holy diver still shows up on the many mixed discs i have.
his poetic stories of black magic have captivated my since the beginning.
RIP.
I was wondering why they kept rocking out to Dio on CNBC this morning, then I read it in the local paper
I remember hearing the Holy Diver album for the first time back in middle school when it was released and still love it to this day. Saw him on the Last In Line Tour, then the Sacred Heart Tour, and many other times and even with Heaven and Hell last year...
I remember the huge dragons, spiders, and awesome laser light shows at his concerts back in the 80's unmatched by any other.
Favorite song of all time is Don't Talk To Strangers....RIP
