Even if you don't like his music, a person just died, grow up. I don't care if you're a troll, just...go away.


For once, I am not trolling.

His music is absolutely terrible. Sad that I am a person has died, I was merely expressing my distaste for such shitty tunes.

Would you do this at his funeral?

I don't even like old-school metal and Dio ruled. Holy Diver is so heavy for his time, and I'm pretty sure that he introduced viking/slaying themes to metal, which in and of itself, helped make metal an adjective rather than just a genre.

Now that's f'ing metal.

He didn't really introduce any new themes to heavy metal, when you look at what bands like Heavy Load, Manilla Road, Manowar, Angel Witch etc. etc. had released earlier already. Most songs of Holy Diver aren't really about such themes either.

Not to say the record is bad at all, it's great!
If you have to ask, you don't know.

His time in Sabbath was as far as I know, pretty original with songs like Neon Knights and Die Young, if anything, it at least helped popularize metal for sure. I'm sure it was before Manowar existed, but not sure about those other guys to tell the truth. Heaven and Hell is one of his best albums ever released, I think it was around that time that the good stuff started getting more widespread.
But yeah, it had not much to do with vikings and killing. His themes were very varied, from being extremely fricken happy about his career passing through how small we are compared to nature and the world going to stuff like the shadowy traps that life lays for us and how we fall to them, how we can all make a difference in this world, the epic conceptual album about heroes and magic in a faraway land and killing dragons(overcoming great obstacles but I still like to think it's about dragons.).

Been listening to Rainbow for a better part of the day. Dio and Blackmore, what amazing tunes you created. The Wizard and Man on the Silver Mountain are two of my favorite songs.

I cannot believe how hard you all got trolled...

He didnt pass away recently, he already died ONE YEAR ago. The according date you are talking about: it is now 1 exactly year ago that he died.

All those who pretend to be "huge" fans or such, are just trolls... U really have no clue...

anyway congratz to all those fake fans out there, who thought that he died today.. and not already a year ago... cool stuff -.-

Fairly certain everyone who posted today have acknowledged it's been a year, and all the ones who hadn't posted a year ago. Pay attention to post dates my man before flaming others.

I grew up around the Portsmouth area, I'm proud to say, couldn't have had a better person come from my area.
Hey! How you doin'?

Nothing like reading any of the posts before yours, huh?
