Update: Ronnie James Dio has lost his battle with stomach cancer

I know it's considered blasphemy, but we're talking about Black Sabbath so it's expected right?

I like Dio era Sabbath and Ozzy's solo stuff a lot more than early Sabbath.

Plus, Dio was willing to get with the guys as "Heaven & Hell" and write new material where Ozzy was afraid.

Get well soon Ronnie James

there was a documentary on metal that was done a few years ago. the dude went to scandinavia and talked to the church burners as well as going to Wacken. he interviewed dio there and then later on at dio's house. pretty much the whole interview dio was taking shots at gene simmons.

and you could understand every word he said.

Same guy did another one called "Global Metal" which was also pretty good.

it is a sad day...

Eddie Trunk's site has a video of an interview RJD did a month or so ago at the Revolver awards and he was so positive, even though he'd been too sick just the day before to do a prior interview. I really expected him to pull through, but knowing now how ill he really was and how it didn't seem to get him down and make him bitter is inspiring.
