    Default RIP Ronnie James Dio :(

    http://www.black-sabbath.com/news/20..._has_died.html

    I'm glad I got to see him a couple of times live. He always seemed to sincerely care about his fans deeply, which makes it all the more saddening.

    He gave the world some classic material, even up until his final year. I always loved the fantasy leanings in his lyrics, and really does any music go better with D&D than Dio?

    I know what my soundtrack will be today.

    We pray to someone
    But when it's said and done
    It's really all the same
    With just a different name

    So many voices
    All giving choices
    If we listen they will say
    Oh, we can find the way

    But we'll sail on, sing a song, carry on
    Cause We Rock, We Rock, We Rock, We Rock
    We Rock, We Rock, We Rock, We Rock
    We Rock! --
    Ronnie James Dio

    LOS ANGELES -- Ronnie James Dio, the metal god who replaced Ozzy Osbourne in Black Sabbath and later piloted the bands Heaven & Hell and Dio, has died, according to his wife and manager. Dio announced last fall he was suffering from stomach cancer. He was being treated at a Houston hospital, according to his website.

    "My heart is broken, Ronnie passed away at 7:45 a.m," said a statement by Wendy Dio posted Sunday on the site and confirmed by publicist Maureen O'Connor. Wendy Dio said that friends and family were able to say their goodbyes to her husband, and asked for privacy. She concluded: "Please know he loved you all and his music will live on forever."

    This was THE PnP soundtrack back in the D&D hey day.

    Sad to see a legend pass, fortunately I had the chance to see him perform many times solo and with Sabbath.

    From Mob Rules:

    Falling off the Edge of the World


    I think about closing the door
    And lately I think of it more
    I'm living well out of my time
    I feel like i'm losing my mind

    Edit:
    Final Official Update from Wendy Dio:
    "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."

    Default Rip Ronnie

    Well, as many of you know, DIO was a big influence for me and my music. my band (OBLIVIAXE) is playing a SCIFI convention next weekend called IMAGICON, we do not do but one cover....it happens to be Rainbow in the Dark. Our show will be dedicated to his honor and we will close with rainbow.

    Rock on Ronnie

    UGHH
