What's the point of posting for no fucking reason? I'm looking at you, post 3 and 4.
And goddamit, it saddens me to think that all of my musical idols will die in my lifetime.
[b]nononono. [/b]
how the fuck do you guys not know who Dio is
i mean fuck i know and i don't even listen to metal that much
he invented the devil horns by the way
Dio has rocked, for a long, long time. Now it's time for him to pass the torch.
I can't find any articles on it.. it must have just happened or something.
I was just listening to Holy diver! D:

He has songs of wildebeests and angels. He has soared on the wings of a demon.
[QUOTE=WickedIcon;21977538]Don't you mean 3 and 4?[/QUOTE]
Fuck, yeah, my bad thanks. I haven't slept in over a day, and the only things that are keeping me awake is the caffeine and Iron Maiden.

He brought them to the mainstream. The devil horns were a Shakespearian sign for "ward off the evil eye". It was given to performers for luck.

Yeah it just happened. Search Ronnie James Dio on google and watch the twits and FB posts roll in.
I'm about to cry, really.
oh damnit that's what i meant.
