Dio in Chicago"Heavy metal lost one of its icons Sunday when singer Ronnie James Dio died at 67. He was being treated in a Houston hospital for stomach cancer," Greg Kot reports. "He fronted some of metal's most revered bands, including a Deep Purple offshoot called Rainbow, the second incarnation of Black Sabbath and his namesake group, Dio. As a result, he had a hand in a half-dozen of metal's greatest albums, including Sabbath's Heaven and Hell and Dio's Holy Diver. Most recently he was heard fronting a Sabbath offshoot, Heaven and Hell, which released a fine 2009 album, The Devil You Know, and toured extensively in 2008-09. Plus, he invented ("Invented? No. But perfected . . . ") the devil's horns. * Here are some excerpts from Dio's (mostly) recent Chicago appearances. 1. The less that you give, you're a taker. * 2. Someone stopped the fair. * 3. She was up from a nether world . . . * 4. Don't think that they're saving you the finest for last. * 5. No one ever told me life was kind. - Posted on May 17, 2010 |
