Just saw it posted over at the GeeBee, thought I'd share it for the metal heads in the Hangout.

The man responsible for the soundtrack to my teenage make-out sessions.

Dio's Sacred Heart tour was one of the most incredible rock n' roll spectacles of all time, including a battle vs. a fire breathing dragon.

He was a consummate showman and always gave the fans their money's worth, in person or on record.

RIP Ronnie. Thanks for the memories.

My buddy treated Dio's dad last week. Apparently Dio's dad was real hands on with the nursing staff. Dio's dad is still alive, baffling.

I thought Dio died two years ago? I'm really confused. Maybe it was one of his contemporaries?

Never got to see him live...

I knew he was sick, but always thought he'd be back. We've lost a god of metal and for him it was truly all about the music. I remember the first time I heard him and I felt the power. He goes to Valhalla where the great shall play forever....
