The lover of life's not a sinner
The ending is just a beginner
The closer you get to the meaning
The sooner you'll know that you're dreaming
So it's on and on and on
Oh it's on and on and on
It goes on and on and on... Heaven and Hell
Farewell God of Metal |

If you're a fan of Ronnie James Dio, and are saddened by his death, please consider a donation to Children of the Night as a way to say "thank you" to Dio. During his life Dio worked hard to support Children of the Night and strongly believed in their cause. (Listen to "Throw Away The Children" from the Killing the Dragon CD for an example.) Instead of giving flowers, why not give where it can make a difference that Dio believed in?

And when you donate, they have a place where you can say that your donation is in memory of Ronnie James Dio.
I gave - will you? |

A HUGE loss to the metal community. The guy was THE best singer and performer I've ever seen ... incredible how good he was even in the past few years.
I'm gonna play all of his 'Elf', 'Rainbow', 'Black Sabbath', 'Dio' and 'Heaven & Hell' records in a chronological order as my way to pay tribute to The King Of Rock 'n' Roll 
R.I.P.  |

Bummer. My grandpa also had a stomach cancer, and it's definitely not the nicest way to die. R.I.P. man, music never dies  |

My tribute show will include all of that AND the bands I mentioned earlier, can take Dio back to '58 .

I'm still processing this. Ronnie James Dio embodied everything that was right with the metal scene. Each interview he gave was no-nonsense and straight from the heart, and he was an example for all in humility and dignity, even though he was a living legend. Rest in peace Ronnie. |

I found Ronnie Dio & The Prophets and Ronnie & The Redcaps. It's not exactly even "hard rock."

The Metal-World has indeed lost one of its best singers and an idol whose star will continue shining forever nevertheless!
Long live Ronnie James Dio!
May You be happy there where You are now!

RIP!

WBC TO PICKET FUNERAL OF RONNIE JAMES DIO AT THE HALL OF LIBERTY, 6300 FOREST LAWN DRIVE, LOS ANGELES, CA, SUN., MAY 30, FROM 1:15 – 2:00 PM
This rebel had a God-given platform – for decades – which he should have utilized to publish the truth of God. Instead, he used that platform – for decades – to teach rebellion against God, in the form glorifying atheism, promoting the devil horn hand sign & other such idolatries. Now he has been cut off by an Angry God & cast into hell.
"And the rest of the men …repented not of the works of their hands, that they should not worship devils, and idols of gold, and silver, and brass, and stone, and of wood: which neither can see, nor hear, nor walk: Neither repented they of their murders, nor of their sorceries (meaning druggie, which he was), nor of their fornication, nor of their thefts." Revelation 9:20-21.
The arrogant God-hating fool changed his name from Padavona to Dio (meaning “God” in Italian). His Black Sabbath fans worshipped him as a god. He stood idly by & watched his niece, Gen Padavona, become a filthy porn star. God’s promises are true, including his promise to punish the wicked forever. Thank God for dead brute Dio!
"Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels," Matthew 25:41.
"The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. Corrupt are they, and have done abominable iniquity: there is none that doeth good." Psalm 53:1.
Check out our newest blog to see the results of foolish & arrogant Dio's rebellion: [url=http://www.bit.ly/GodSmacks]www.bit.ly/GodSmacks[/url]
As pissed off as I am about this, I can't say I'm surprised. We really need to get Varg Vikernes to pay this church a "visit".

See ... it always seems to me like Westboro are just a huge joke, but occasionally is crosses my mind that they might *actually* be serious.
Anyway, don't get angry about it - that would be feeding the trolls. |
