It's a bummer dude, like, Ronnie James Dio--uhhhh like--he died dudes!!

Man--hard to believe he was aged 67--but Heavy Metal rocker, Ronnie James Dio, who replaced Ozzie for a time in the grandaddy of all heavy metal groups, "Black Sabbath" passed from "this mortal coil."

"Hey Ronnie---dude--like uhhh, rest in peace dude!!!! Rock on man!!!"

"Rainbow in the Dark", indeed.

I just had to have fun with channelling my old heavy metal days---we really did talk like that----God, what was I thinking---or not????

While Ozzie was like God or something--at first I was not so crazy about RJD and the music that BS made in that time--I did warm up to him and that era of Black Sabbath's music.

He was talented and like when any talented person goes--it is kinda a "bummer"---it is hard to think that the members of the "rock and roll" generation are now people that are fading from the scene in ever increasing numbers--but then again--"time marches on" and as the poet said (Jim Morrsion), "No one gets out of here alive!"

RIP Ronnie James Dio!!

Ronnie James Dio was an excellent singer and musician. Saw him live in '84. Great show.

ACK. "Hm, but OzzyGod still lives."

Not meaning to detract from Dio's passing, it is really sad. Just saying Ozzy keeps on going. He's what in his seventies or so? Just one of those things I find quirky, and makes me go hmmmmm.

Ozzy is the same age: 62.

RJD created the horns. If for no other reason than that, he'll be influential long after his passing.

It was something at first when Ozzie was gone from Black Sabbath and Ronnie James Dio came in---I was not prepared to like him--but after I listened to what he did--I kinda liked his stuff better--he brought a real edge to Sabbath's music.

It is something that Ozzie is still walking----he pretty much fried his brain with all the substances he consumed over the years! :bigrin:

What is really amazing is that Keith Richards from the Stones is still alive after all these years---how many poppy fields worth of heroin has that guy shot in his veins over the years???

I'm sorry for their passings, but can you imagine the jam session in Heaven??? lol
RIP Loves. Let your music make the stars a little brighter.

Rainbow in the Dark, just thinking of that song takes me back to my teenage years...Sad loss, but his music lives on

I actually caught Heaven and Hell at Nissan back 'bout two years ago, with Priest and Motorhead. And freaking Testament of all things...

Dio and Halford was no comparison, blew Priest off the stage.
