He wasn't one of the best: he was the best, ever. Dio's voice and music is part of my life, listening to him has always brightened my day. I was lucky enough to see him perform live during the "Dehumanizer" tour, with Black Sabbath, and those are memories that I will always treasure. Bon Scott, Cozy Powell, Jimmy Hendriz, Bonham, Phil Lynnot, Randy Rhoads... and now Ronnie: Definitely, they will be having a blast of a time playing together!! Rest in peace, dear friend. Crying in my Rainbow Eyes, Isaias. I’m devastated, just as if a close relative or friend had died. He wasn’t one of the best: he was the best, ever.

Most memorable moment was a father hoisting his 6 year old son up and Ronnie stepped forward to shake the kids hand. That was Ronnie. He appreciated the fans and my favorite quote from him was how celebrities owe their livelihood to the fans as "...without them, we are nothing, without us, they will always be." I'm sad he's gone, but I'm happy for all the great music. I was fortunate to see Dio open for Deep Purple in California a few years back.

No other rock concert I have ever seen over the years has not even come close to the power of Rainbow. Ronnie James Dio and Blackmore and Cozy Powell were as dominate and on fire that night. We stood there stunned all night not quite believing our eyes or ears. the sonic power of Blackmore and the mighty voice of Dio and the thunder of Cozy. No other band back then could touch them. God Bless Ronnie James Dio. RIP Dio/Powell. Long Live Rock N Roll! The 1976 Rainbow Tour in Chicago is the Best show I have ever seen in my life.
