Although there were conflicting reports on the weekend, one of heavy metal’s kings has passed on<\/a> to that guitar store in the sky.<\/p>\n

I didn’t know it at the time, but I’ve been listening to Ronnie James Dio<\/a>‘s music since I was a kid. My mother, especially was into Rainbow<\/a>. It wasn’t until much later when I grew an appreciation for metal that I discovered exactly how great Dio’s voice is, and how inspirational he has been to rock music.<\/p>\n

I feel fortunate that I was able to see him perform with Heaven & Hell<\/a> when they toured a few years back.<\/p>\n

Ave Dio. I hope you won’t mind if I send you off with Tenacious D’s tribute to you:<\/p>\n
