 | | Later, his band simply became “The Elves.” Perhaps the choice of this fantasy creature as their mascot is reflective of the vertically challenged nature of most of the members of Ronnie’s band, especially himself. |
 | | The band’s other guitarist, David Feinstein, who suffered a broken ankle from the accident, says that the only thing he remembers about the whole incident was waking up the next day in the hospital with Ronnie in the other bed next to him. |
 | | There is the Elf era, the Rainbow era, the Black Sabbath era, the old Dio solo era, and the new Dio solo era (1989 to present), which would have to include the album Dehumanizer. |
