Dio was cool. I want to listen to a little 'Heaven and Hell' now.

Man, what a drag. He was an Icon!!! I have all his albums on my Ipod. I use to play in a Dio tribute band back in Phx.

That just blows.

Dio and Geoff Tate have some of the best voices out there.

Whoa! Another rock legend leaves us. About a month or so ago I had heard that he was suffering from stomach cancer so I coan't say that his death is a surprise, but it's still shocking to hear of his passing away.

I remember friends from HS and college who were huge Dio fans. These friends introduced my to his music and unique style. I haven't been in touch with those friends in years. Perhaps it's time to hook back up with them.

The first live concert I ever saw was RJD. Actually, it was a whole night of firsts for me.

He'll be missed.
