I bet that fucking Sharon has got a hand in this,
She probably got a witch to hex him or something.
All because he recorded a stellar Heaven & Hell album

Here is my Ronnie James Dio story. 100% true.
I was about 14 and I worked on a lunch truck. The type that open on the side and you stand next to the truck selling items. Anyways, we used to work the San Diego Sports Arena on concert nights. Huge business selling sodas & snacks to all the stoned people. After a Dio concert (1985) we were parked by the back drive in entrance where the gear, artists, employees go in. Fans congregate there to catch a glimpse of the artist. Eventually the cops made all the fans leave, but let us stay. We were selling to all the roadies & police officers. We were so busy I wasn't really looking at the customers.
1 chocolate pudding pie and 1 diet pepsi. That'll be $1.35. As I hand the change...IT'S DIO! I was froze. I watched him walk into the tour bus, sit down and start grubbing.
So I never really met him...but I sold him some snacks. Wish I had realized it was him sooner so I could have said hello, maybe shook his hand.
To this day, every time I see a chocolate pudding pie I think of Ronnie James.“Great losses often bring only a numb shock. To truly plunge a victim into misery, you must overwhelm him with many small sufferings.”Comment

Ronnie's not on my list of impending arrivals, so I'm sure he will be fine. Hey, I gotta keep one credible ambassador of unholiness up there, don't I? Ozzy sure as Heaven is no longer qualified for that job!

Ok, you will all think I'm nuts (probably already do) but I recall an interview
which may have been in "Circus" in the 80's with DIO. He was getting all
freaky and saying he felt he didnt have much longer left in this world.
Like he was gonna die ! Well that prediction was miles off...
Hopefully they got it early and can get him into his 80's !
I bet he would still sing the paint of a wall !
BABY PANA 2 IS Coming !! All across the land, let the love and beer flow !
Love ya Mary Frances!Comment

I was at Rising Force's first show in 1984, at the country club in reseda.
We're waiting for I think it was Vixen to get their junk off stage, jockeying for what was to be one helluva front-row, arms-on-stage / guitar side and holding that spot for dear life till Malmsteen starts position.. when everyone's arms raise up pointing at the balcony.
We're squinting, looking to see who was up there.. and like in the episode where Bugs Bunny imitates a conductor at the podium and everyone starts muttering "Leopold.. Leopold! (stokowski)" all the dudes start muttering "Dio.. Ronnie Dio. It's Dio!"
I swear everyone's arms raised up the horns and chanted Dio Dio Dio until the guy stood up, all smiles, and took a bow from the balcony horns out.
Apparently someone looked up at the right time and saw the guy getting his seat and the word spread that Ronnie "Poison Dwarf" Dio was up in the balcony.Comment

Had a chance to meet with Ronnie in 1996, Angry Machines tour. Fuck of a nice cat. Me and my buddy were the last in line in the meet and greet, and he took the time to sign all of our shit and get our photos taken with him, just a super nice guy, very friendly, cordial...very rarely have I ever met a professional musician as kind, classy and purely fuckin' COOL as him.
Hoping he has a speedy recovery!Twistin' by the pool.Comment
