Ronnie James Dio

Anyway, I really like Blackmore's Night a lot.. as jettojet says, it's not just folk but also medieval and Celtic music! On their latest album (released at the end of March), there's a cover of Child In Time and it's really a beautiful album.

To Def Leppard, now, there's Vivian Campbell as Axe-Man... Campbell was the first guitarist of Dio (the one from Holy Diver, The Last In Line, Sacred Heart, and the mini-live Intermission!) he has been (and still is) truly great!

"Stranger in Us All" is a beautiful album (I love Blackmore's Rainbow). But did you know that the Rainbow was about to reunite (in '98) with the Rising lineup (that is: Ronnie James Dio on vocals, Ritchie Blackmore "The Man in Black" on guitar, Cozy Powell on drums, Jimmy Bain on bass, and Tony Carey on keyboards)? They were all excited to reform the Rainbow with the mark-2 (that is the classic lineup) when Cozy Powell tragically passed away in a car accident... :'-( I read this a few months ago and I swear it truly saddened me to know about Cozy Powell's death. un link On this link, you can find information about Cozy's death and read the various condolence letters from R.J. Dio, R. Blackmore, T. Iommi, R. Glover (Roger Glover's is the most beautiful), and many others (including one from Don Airey). Best wishes to everyone, Ronnie James Dio.

I almost forgot: if you want my MSN contact, it’s ronnie_james_dio@hotmail.it

It's true I'm used to dealing with people like that too!!! By the way, do you like W.A.S.P.? And Judas Priest?

Yes, I knew too that Rob Halford was on the other side (so to speak!). At first, I was upset when I found out... but then I thought that if he was like that, it shouldn’t matter to me... it’s his "business" how he is... as long as I can appreciate him as a singer and songwriter! He remains one of my idols along with R.J. Dio, Blackie Lawless (from W.A.S.P.), Ritchie Blackmore, and many others (including K.K. Downing and Tipton).

Well... they are 2 completely different voices but both amazing!... I understand you... in fact, I once found similarities between R.J. Dio's voice and Freddy's (these are also 2 amazing but different voices!).

It's me, the exaggerator, who has given it my all... it's just that, as an album, I find it stunning even though I know that (as I've already said) it's an exaggeration to give it 5/5.

It's amazing... if you listened to it you wouldn't regret it.
