15 years since we lost Ronnie! 15!!!! Can't bloody believe it! Where has the time gone?

Why not put on some Heaven & Hell stuff for today?


Here's a stellar preformance recorded by the legendary ROCKPALAST back in 2009!

Truly one of the most iconic vocalists in any genre.

Happy B-Day RJD!

First time I ever heard him was on the radio singing, "Man on the Silver Mountain," and I was blown away. It wasn't long before I realized he could sing the telephone book and make it rock!

He'd be 82 if he was still among us.

I think he would be. If his voice was failing he would stop singing (he was always adamant about giving his best to the fans), but I think he would always be involved in some capacity - producer, song writer, etc.

He was making music up to when he couldn't no more, so yeah, he'd be doing his best to give his all.
