Maybe I'm just not a fan of "power metal." I happen to think the vocalist from Killswitch has a pretty good singing voice.

No, I am saying that I don't think they "butchered" it like someone else said.

he does have a good singing voice but not as good as Dio sheeesh.

And even though Dio inspired power metal, it's not a straight up power metal record it's just plain old metal too.

I don't think they butchered it either Ecnalzen.

If it wasn't for KSE's cover of Holy Diver I wouldn't have even discovered Dio (well I would have because of this site but not as early as I did)

Its not Power Metal actually. If youll get into Dio youll see why the original is better.

Alright, then. That was the point I was trying to make. I didn't feel they butchered it because they stayed pretty true to the original except for their metalcore touches.

I am not going to lie, I had trouble taking the original seriously after watching the video. Maybe it's the whole "fantasy" thing that makes me not enjoy it as much.

Dude it's old school lol don't watch the video if you feel that way just listen to it.

If you're still wondering if you like him please listen to the song 'Last in Line'.
That's probably his second best song so if you don't like that I guess Dio isn't for you.

Ha ha, yeah. Some (most) of those 80s videos are pretty bad.

Yeah they are and I know Dio can be cheesy sometimes with the lyrics and such but this is timeless stuff my friend.

Alright, Atari. I'll give you "Last in Line." That's a pretty good track. This solo is entirely bitchin. I love that chugging rhythm guitar behind it, too. Good stuff.
