That sucks. He seemed like a good guy in what interviews I saw/read.

I was never a fan but he seemed like a decent guy. He fought hard.

Man, oh MAN what a voice! I was fortunate to see him live twice. Once with Sabbath and once with Rainbow.

Never grew up in a generation where I could have truly appreciated Dio's talents. I do have friends who have exposed me to his music a bit though. Most importantly I'm fully aware of the influence that he brought for metal frontman.

I threw on "Neon Knights" a couple hours ago when I heard about this. His vocals fucking wailed

I've never taken a pissbreak during a DBT show but if I had it would have been during Dancing Ricky.

R.I.P. Ronnie. I remember listening to that first Rainbow record every night back in 8th grade.

Sad. I saw Rainbow twice back in the day-Mid-late 70s-and that little dude brought it.
RIP

Been listening to RJD in all of his forms since the 8th grade. Truly a sad day for me and a lot of my friends. Ronnie, your impeccable work with Elf, Dio, Rainbow, and Black Sabbath will significantly help push hard rock and heavy metal far into future generations.

R.I.P. -- We've lost one of the most bad-ass singers to ever grace this planet.

Sometimes it may of seemed cheesy, but he was truly passionate about his trade......

Heaven and Hell was such a bad ass album when it came out. Sabbath v2. I love "Neon Knights" as well and then the prophetic "Die Young"

I was practically weaned on Ozzy era Sabbath and hated the change-up. But the first time I heard Mob Rules and Heaven and Hell I adjusted. I hit emusic this morning to DL Mob Rules and man, talk about flashbacks. I was like 12 when that album came out.

Rest in Peace RJD. You knew how to ROCK it.
Not forever, just for now.
