I haven't heard Holy Diver since my band played it almost 20 years ago. I can still remember the bass line. Cool

I still think the 2 Sabbath albums he sang on were some of their best work. Still love Children of the Sea. "In the misty morning....at the edge of time..." Classic. Who still writes cheezy lines like that these days?

Air "How does it make you feel"

p.s. I ended up partying with Dio once back in the mid 90's. Short and puny, but what vocal cords. Too bad all his music sounds the same - I told him just that, so he knows. I think Ritchie Blackmore exploited Dio's talent best. My band played lots of Sabbath covers too, but no Dio material, Ozzy and Gillan only.

Grun,

I don't think we will ever see another character like Dio in his heyday..... A 5 foot tall Italian guy, singing heavy metal in skin tight spandex, with a huge perm and the classic unbelievably hairy chest. He was a thing of beauty. Big Grin Sorry... IS a thing of beauty. I'm sure he's working in a Walmart somewhere. Wink

Tbird,

I stand corrected. Big Grin

good job grun. he dramatically altered his sound after you told him that. Razz Big Grin

the million dollar question is if you ever covered any sabbath WITH gillan on vocals? "disturbing the priest" baby! Cool

baird, a walmart? i don't think so. "still touring"! he got craig goldy back on guitars and rudy sarzo on bass.... Smile

I have tried to stay away from this thread. I can not stand it any longer. So, now to show my age (at least I'm not bald, yet!)...

Little Feat, 'I've Been Down...', on http://www.radiomargaritaville.com (and now Sirius, also).

While I am a 'Parrot Head,' I couldn't listen to this all day, every day. But, I have to play something mellow for the customers in my store. The only problem is when they play songs like, 'Why Don't We Get Drunk and Screw.' Eek

To wank, means to masturbate, usually a male, hence the term, wanker.

A wankfest (although not in my dictionary), is what I assume to be a festival where wankers wank.

How could this not be a positive experience?
