Been listening to Dio in the weeks leading up so I’m a little Dio’d out atm.

I’ve often pondered if he was still with us today whether he’d still be performing. I just could never envisage him retiring.

Probably would push it to the end... which he pretty much *did* do... :)

Agreed. I think he would have continued to perform until he was physically incapable of providing fans with a good time. He always struck me as someone who really gave a shit about putting on a great show for the people who came to hear/see it, not simply to capitalize on his fame and rake in cash.

And remember, this is what he was up to in 1958.  :rockon: I think it's the most metal anyone got, that early. The technology didn't even support decent bass amps or fuzz pedals, but he still managed to cook up the heavy back in the late 50s.

I remember Ronnie saying that he would retire when he turned 80...but I'm sure if he could still preform he would do so occationally.

Sure thing is that we would have gotten a shit load of new music from him over the years though.

14 years but the music always lives on!!


Been listening to this one couple of times today...

Gotta say MAGICA II would have been an amazing album if this song was any indication! What a track!

Happy Birthday indeed! He would have been 82 today, and probably still would have had a great voice if he was still with us.
