R.I.P. Dio

[Frank The Bunny]

I know I'm a little late with this, but R.I.P. Ronnie James Dio - even non metalheads like me loved your cameo in the Tenacious D flick [warning - explicit language]

It's amazing that Dio was 67 and could still sing like he did! Just saying...*cough*

I'm far from a metalhead myself but I did get to see Dio on the Sabbath Mob Rules Tour in 1982. I also think that Heaven and Hell is a metal classic. I was obsessed with that album in high school.

He has gone to that rainbow in the dark.

Sad news, Stargazer is one of the best metal tunes of all time due in no small part to the vocals.
