It's truly a sad day for the music world, but at least his songs will live on.

I'm going to go put on Rising and crank it to 11.

RIP RJD

Not only one the great voices in metal, but one of the great people.  He was so gracious with his time in interviews, an open person and great ambassador of metal, and he gave us the enduring symbol of metal,  :metal

There's really nobody else in music that has provided me with as much joy as he has.  No matter how bad a day I might be having, I can always put on Stargazer and find myself elated 8 minutes later.

Wow, this is heartbreaking.  One of my absolute favorite vocalists, and a genuinely nice, hardworking musician who deeply cared for his fans.

Rest in peace Ronnie... I hope you're slaying dragons in heaven right now :(

My condolences for his family and the fans. I'm just feeling mind-blown at the moment, I remember the solo in Lonely Is The Word and it just might describe the life he lived and the music he made. From Elf to the invention of the devil horns, right through to Heaven & Hell, he made good music for us. I'll be getting more of his music for sure now. And what a charming fellow he was too, pretty much the ambassador of metal. I'll definitely be missing Ronnie James Dio.

Its amazing.  I'm just ashamed I 1. learned about it from DT's cover and 2. Never really giving Rainbow/Heaven & Hell the listens they deserved because I'd "eventually get around to it" despite Stargazer's kickassery.

Quite a few people have made statements thus far.  It's pretty cool to see how well liked and respected he was amongst his peers.

Suffice to say, I was shocked too hear this today.    I know all of us have "Musical landmarks" in our lives.  I've had 3.... #2 was when I was in the Navy in '81 and bought Rainbows "Live on Stage" on vinyl.  From that point on, music took on a whole new direction for me.  The sheer power...intensity...and passion which illustrated Ronnie's vocals were astounding.  I haven't felt like this since the day I heard John Bonham died.

I just popped in the Rainbow Munich '77 DVD.  Next will be Heaven and Hell's DVD...... after that we'll play it by ear.

Today you Caught the Rainbow Ronnie.... thank you for the decades of sharing your musical soul with me brother.
