	Rough Edge: Interview with Ronnie James Dio
		Needless to say, I have lots of memories related to this man, and as Ronnie James Dio releases the companion CD to his live DVD "Evil or Divine: Live in NYC," I take a veteran fan’s pleasure in knowing I’ve conversed with one of the genuine greats in the business.
		There’s a Johnny Dio in Scarface for that matter, and I guess at this point we might be able to affectionately call you one of the dons of metal!
		I’ve always thought of Dio as the Excalibur of metal and I’m sure you’ve probably heard that reference a thousand times, but I also believe in karma and the afterlife, and I specifically feel that I was a squire to a knight in another life and we were both killed in battle.

	Ronnie James Dio - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Ronnie said that his grandmother used to make the hand gesture to ward off the evil eye, which is very common in superstitious Italian people (the "horns" themselves are used to both scare away and give someone the 'malocchio').
		Dio himself has said in the past that he was born July 10, 1949 and, at other times, outright refused to give the year of his birth.
		The age of Ronnie and his son also builds the case for 1942, although a 20 year age difference was not that rare in the 1960s.

	Ronnie James Dio
		The year of its final effort, Dio and most of Elf were hijacked by former Deep Purple guitarist Ritchie Blackmore to serve as the basis for his new band Rainbow.
		Dio's exit from Rainbow coincided with difficulties between a chemically-befuddled Ozzy Osbourne and his Black Sabbath bandmates, and an encounter with guitarist Tony Iommi in Los Angeles soon led to Dio being brought on board as the new Sabbath vocalist.
		Dio (the singer and the band) continued to remain active throughout the 90s and 00s, their status always remaining solid in the heavy metal community regardless of the inclination of mainstream tastes.

		Ronnie James Dio: If there is any kind of theme lyrically on this album it is just what a miserable place the world is. I think a lot of the musical creativity is because Craig and I have been writing together so long.

	Ronnie James Dio - Biography - AOL Music
		By the dawn of the '70s, their name was shortened to simply Elf (with Dio focusing on lead vocals full-time, and changing his name to Ronnie James Dio) and a record deal came their way, with ex-Deep Purple bassist Roger Glover producing.
		Dio got the gig immediately (penning most of the Sab classic "Children of the Sea" at their initial jam session), and helped Sabbath break out of their creative and commercial slump, resulting in such metal classics as 1980's Heaven & Hell and 1981's Mob Rules.
		With Sabbath enjoying their greatest success in years, Dio shocked the metal world by leaving what appeared to be a promising union after the spotty Live Evil release appeared in 1982.

	Dio - The Early Years: Main
		My purpose in posting this website is to tribute the early, relatively unknown years of Ronnie Dio's career.
		It seems to me that the main reason Elf is often overlooked by Dio fans (even hardcore fans) is that the music style differs significantly from his later work.
		It was exciting to hear, if not a little surreal, but if you truly admire the singing and writing of the master, then you should enjoy these early tracks from his career.

	Ronnie James Dio, Comic Genius
		Dio still had enough money to muster a video screen below the riser that held the drum set, so we were treated to a video skit to start the show.
		And while we didn’t quite see what he meant, his trademark wail and a few modest explosions told us what to expect: Dio might not have the budget to fight the robotic dragon, but he was going to rock with all his heart, be it eaten, sacred or hunted.
		It was a special show, not necessarily because it was a good show, but because it showed that Dio really cared about rocking, about giving us music that would justify the mild case of whiplash that the majority of the audience would have the next morning.

	LET IT ROCK - Ronnie James DIO interview
		Borne from the genuine rock 'n' roll era, Ronnie James Dio has retained the music's primal truth in the songs he's been writing for the last 35 years.
		But we're doing a lot more DIO songs now than we did before, but there was so much music from SABBATH and from RAINBOW that we have so many choices when we play.
		I'd never considered any of the DIO albums to be solo projects: they've all been by the band who just happened to have the name DIO because it was easy for people to connect with the name when we started because they knew at least who I was.

		All icons in their own right and well deserving of their legendary status, but when I think of a legend in the music industry, one of the first names that springs to my mind is Ronnie James Dio.
		Recently, Ronnie was kind enough to grant us an “audience” where we discussed his past, present and things yet to come.
		Pink Floyd, etc, etc, etc and hopefully Dio as well is quite timeless just because the songs were new and original and not mock-ups of things that people had heard before.
