Recordando a Dio

Cover of Holy Diver

La muerte de Ronnie James Dio es una gran perdida para el mundo del Rock y del arte en general.

Su voz ha trascendido generaciones y lo seguirá haciendo puesto que su legado es amplio e inmortal.

Dio era querido y respetado no solo en el mundo del Rock y el Heavy metal sino en el mundo del entretenimiento en general, todos lo recuerdan como una de las personas mas gentiles y generosas del medio.

Muchas estrellas han manifestado sus condolencias y están compartiendo sus memorias de Dio con el mundo, estas son solo algunas:

"I've been in total shock. I just can't believe he's gone. Ronnie was one of the nicest people you could ever meet, we had some fantastic times together. Ronnie loved what he did, making music and performing on stage. He loved his fans so much. He was a kind man and would put himself out to help others. I can honestly say it's truly been an honor to play at his side for all these years. His music will live on forever. Our thoughts are with Wendy Dio who stood by Ronnie until the end. He loved her very much. The man with the magic voice is a star amongst stars, a true professional. I'll miss you so much my dear friend. RIP."

Tony Iommi

"We used to have a lot of fun with Dio on the road, Eric Singer could not help from going 'Holy Diver!' as loud as he could to the point where the manager finally says, 'Could you stop doing that?  It's starting to annoy Ronnie.'  And of course you don't say that to Eric Singer, because that just means he's going to double the efforts."

Alice Cooper

When I last saw Ronnie in Los Angeles, he was as full of life and positivity as anybody I've ever known ... and sang up a storm with Heaven and Hell in the Universal Amphitheatre. In my opinion, Ronnie was one of the creators of the genre of Heavy Metal.

Brian May

"Ronnie, your voice impacted and empowered me, your music inspired and influenced me, and your kindness touched and moved me. Thank you."

Lars Ulrich

"Few people have had the ability to carry a song like Dio, literally demanding your attention as he effortlessly recreated live the amazing things he did on record. It's odd how things get taken from you quickly...I just saw him a month ago. I know I was lucky to have known Ronnie. One of the nicest guys in the business without a doubt. He will be hugely missed."

Kerry King

“Rest in Peace Ronnie. You inspired millions of us” 

Nikki Sixx

"Dio was a big inspiration, influence and dear friend of mine. He was a true gentleman and a kindhearted individual.  He always would go out of his way to make you feel welcome and important. Without a doubt, he was one of the best, top notch and a class act. I will truly miss him."
