As a huge metal fan today is one of the saddest days of my life from a music standpoint as word came out this afternoon confirming that Ronnie James Dio has passed away from stomach cancer.
Ronnie, to me, had arguably the greatest metal pipes ever and left us with a great catalogue of his music as his testament. He was the acknowledged "creator" of metals' salute, the infamous devil horns.
RIP Ronnie.

You're right there.. Sabbath, Ozzy, Zeppelin, The Who, The Stones...jklinders wrote:Damn. you know metal has been around just long enough for us to soon see more giants of the genre fall. Don't really want to think about it right now.
RIP Dio.
It's going to be a punch in the gut when they start going.

Rest in peace, Ronnie.
Somewhere in the night
A candle burns for you
The eternal flame
The light keeps shining on
Your music is immortal
It's stood the test of time
You're gone but not forgotten
You walk with us
We will remember
They were born to rock and roll
This song's a celebration
Of what you gave to us
The legacy you left still marches on
Still they play your music
All around the world
Blasting through the airwaves
To the stars
We will remember
They were born to rock and roll
From London to Chicago
From the mountains to the sea
The legacy you left
Will never die

R.I.P. Dio
He's gone, he is dead
His remains upon the hearse ahead
As silently we wander though the mist
He's free
This is the end
Your journey's over, night descends
Below... Into the abyss
Farewell, my friend, you will be missed
Lower the flags
A good man has passed
He has reached the last of frontiers
Lower the flags
Down to half-mast
For again the world has taken a turn for the worse
He's done, he is dead
Six feet of earth upon his head
Now lay your wreaths
Upon the one who lies beneath
Although you're gone
In memories you shall live on
Asleep... In peace now rest
The weight of the world is off your chest
Lower the flags
A good man has passed
He has reached the last of frontiers
Lower the flags
Down to half-mast
For again the world has taken a turn for the worse
That morning light I'll always remember
And these August nights: cold as December.
