For a show that had the crowd waiting 2 hours for it to begin (doors were 7pm, they came on stage at 9pm) it was amazing.

They had technical problems with the keyboards which meant the show would have been alot longer, but what we got was still awesome. I was amazed that they played Tarot Woman first, not many people around me recognised it :D

I got chatting to a guy who's 50 whilst waiting for the show to begin, he said that he first saw Dio in 1971 with Elf, and they were supporting Deep Purple. We both sang really loud during the Rainbow and Sabbath songs, especially Heaven and Hell.

Sing me a song youre a singer, sing me a song youre a bringer of evil



It's Heaven and Hell, oh well

:thumb:


Anyway on a serious note, how much do you reckon a first pressing debut album would cost? Im thinking about buying one.

£60.

So, we have a 5 char. limit again?

/me remembers old days of 12345 rather than 123 :cool:

Cool setlist. Who's drumming with him these days?

I hope I get another chance to see him before he has a stroke or alzheimer's or something.
:upset:

Simon Wright is on drums at the moment, he's brilliant.

During the start of Heaven and Hell, everyone was singing/humming/oooohing along as the intro progressed, Dio liked it so much he got the band to play it again so we could sing/hum/ooh again.

Those lyrics really annoy me for some reason, they just seem so bad, but they do make sense

Hey buttons are working in the reply box (italics, bold and the like).

And whats wrong with the lyrics? One of his best imo. Amd brum where did you get a price of 60 pounds from? Thats quite a lot, how much would a second edition cost then? I might have to take the cheap way out.

I was reading Record Collector magazine a few months ago and they had a Vertigo special, with prices for all the best albums to come from that label.

I think a 2nd edition would cost around £35, but odds of finding one in good condition may be slim.

Not as bad as one of his earlier efforts..."Old shiny boots, with strings and flutes - he's rising like a crazy balloon!"....

Er, yes....:lol:


BTW - Which song?
PS - [I]NOT[/I] you, Brum (you know too much about old RJD

I can't put the words to a song...not yet anyway...

I'll give you a clue - RJD seems to think that the title of this song rhymes with

"He'll harm ya!"



The rest of the world doesn't

Snake Charmer?

[I]KER-CHING!![/I]
Round one to Lord Brumm:thumb:

:cool:

It does rhyme with ''He'll harm ya!''

He'll harm ya!
Snake Char-ma!

Mmmm, There's just the [I]slight[/I] problem of the Y...

I think he painted himself into corner with that title when it came to a rhyme.

Good job he didn't write a song about an orange, or porridge - then even [I]he[/I] would have come unstuck

It's just that line i don't like

[QUOTE=shadow_stalker]It's just that line i don't like[/QUOTE]

Would you prefer
"Sing me a song, even though you ain't a singer!"?:)

I would prefer it if they cut the line out all together, the line makes sense its jsut so...

.....naff?

Yeah something like that

where is Josh these days? havnt seen him around in a looooooooooooong time

Yes thats true. He didnt get banned again did he.

Don't think so, he just dissapeard one day

Last I heard he'd either changed his username or was banned.

Fun Dio Fact: When he was in Elf, he was the tallest member.

That's because all the others were real elves, silly.:rolleyes:

They were talented Elves.

[QUOTE=Lord Brummington]They were talented Elves.[/QUOTE]

But one awful day, the most talented one screwed them over for a better deal - a chance to play with the God Of The Six String himself, in the Big Rainbow castle in the sky.....

And they faded into obscurity.....

Speaking of Rainbow, I got Rainbows Long Live Rock 'n' Roll album today. Ive only listened to it once through but Im really liking it. Brum do you have the Rainbow albums on vinyl?

My Uncle has Rainbow and Rising on vinyl, I borrowed them and copied them to cd a few months ago.

I came very close to buying my own copy of Rising on vinyl not so long ago, I found a near-mint condition 2nd hand copy of it on gatefold.

I have my new camera, so more pics of my vinyl collection will be here soon :)

Oh goody, can I see the the inside of the gatefold of your debut album?

And do you have Long Live Rock 'n' Roll?, because if you don't I suggest looking out for it. The last track is absolutely incredible, sometimes I think Dio's voice sounds better melodic.

Sad day when Dio is the tallest member of your band

Once i stop twitching over dragonforce i might look into a Dio/Rainbow/Elf album
