It's strange that yesterday on TV 'That Metal Show' was going on and it was the episode where Dio was the special guest alongside Geezer Butler. I loved how Ed Trunk and co. gave him so much respect and appreciation. 
 
Rest in Peace Ronnie.

That's an awesome article; I would expect no less from their columnists.

He was one of the people that got me into 70's and 80's rock, I borrowed Mob Rules and straight away loved 80's rock.

R.I.P. Dio.

Extremely shocking and sad news. I am extremely upset.

RJD was about the first rock artist I listened to, and I still remember the teenage thrill of buying Rising and listening to that incredible album.

When he went to Black Sabbath, they produced just about the ultimate hard rock album of all time.

RIP - one day we will listen to you live again and marvel at a true talent in heaven.

One great thing about his solo albums for me was seeing an unknown Vivian Campbell get such an enviable gig as lead guitarist.  I'd been a fan of Viv from his days in Ireland as a Gary Moore follower, his great metal band Sweet Savage (early thrash pioneers), and on to at least two classic records with Dio.

Chiming in late here.  First, RIP Ronnie.  Second, a couple things that struck me today regarding just how widely he was loved and accepted.  The local sports station was playing Dio tracks for all their intros and outros to and from commercial breaks.  And, my 70 year old neighbor actually mentioned his passing to me.  She's a big fan, which pretty much says it all.

He wasn't too old to rock (in his 60s, Heaven and Hell freaking ruled), but he sure was too young to die. RIP Ronnie. Cry
Hello, mirror. So glad to see you, my friend. It's been a while...
