    He had songs of wildebeests and angels.  He has soared on the wings of a demon.

    RIP, Dio.

    Today, my heart is saddened as I hear of this terrible loss. Dio will live forever in the hearts of his fans and in the music and lyrics he once sang, we will miss you, Dio, keep it heavy in Heaven.

    The stuff he did with Rainbow was amazing, Stargazer stands out especially for me as not just a great song but one where his chops were so on display. Also, Last in Line from his solo/band Dio was a great display of his voice.  I shouldn't overlook his ballads either, like Temple of the King.

     

    The one lyric he sang that screams out like a bucket of truth is "the world is full of kings and queens, they'll blind your eyes and steal your dreams". 

     

    Man the guy could sing.

    Oh they say that's over
    And it just had to be
    Oh that say, that's o-o-over
    For lost children of the sea

    Look out! The sky is falling down
    Look out! The world is spinning round and round and round
    Look out! The sun is going black, black
    Look out! It's never never never coming back

    Look out!

    There's no sign of the morning coming
    There's no sight of the day
    You've been left on your own
    Like a Rainbow in the Dark

    I hope Ronny Dio will have a taste for the angelic chorus and that his hard rock sound can blend.  Cool
