16 MAY will be one of the saddest days in the history of rock!Today,passed away one of the most representative voices of rock...RONNIE JAMES DIO!He was an absolute major performer and a heavenly gifted vocalist!Some people said about Dio..THE LITTLE MAN WITH A GOLDEN VOICE!And sure he had a wonderful voice!If we only think at what he did with RAINBOW...BLACK SABBATH and in his prodigal solo career...all our respect for him is ENDLESS!!!67 years old is not at all an age to die,but he burned like a candle on the altar of rock and offered so much for the people who love honest and straight from the heart rock!His anger in his voice and the passioned interpretation will never be forgotten!For example CATCH THE RAINBOW will remain forever one of the most sensitive ballads in the history of rock and WE ROCK one of the most amazing hard rock power songs!HOLY DIVER was his debut solo album and is one of the most important albums in rock!Sensational songs,top class from STAND UP AND SHOUT to SHAME ON THE NIGHT,on this album DIO shines literally and offers some real anthems of rock!VIVIAN CAMPBELL was a revelation as guitarist and the whole album is so fresh and so well composed,really impressive!DIO came on this album with a vengeance after leaving BLACK SABBATH and proved that he was a major composer in BS!!!DIO's wonderful career was something magical and his musical legacy will never be forgotten!All our love,respect and regrets to one real rocker ,one of the most important vocalist of all time.a true ROCK ICON!GOD BLESS YOUR GREAT HEART,RONNIE and smoke a cigar in HEAVEN or HELL...with other immortals...500 stars for a monumental album!
