R.I.P RJD

Sad day as one of my idols and arguably the greatest ever metal singer died aged 67.

Ronnie James Dio was a true legend and had a unique and powerful voice, in fact i'd put him up there with Mr Mercury.

I can always remember a track from my teens called Love Is All from the Butterfly Ball and then some years later realising it was Mr Dio himself. That shows his versatility as an all round singer.

For me his best efforts were the two Sabbath albums (Heaven & Hell/Mob Rules) and of course the Long Live Rock & Roll album with Rainbow.

Ronnie you were a legend and your music will live on forever.  R.I.P.
