Nachruf von Tony Iommi
http://www.iommi.com/index.php?story=69
Yesterday 16th May my dear, dear friend Ronnie James Dio passed away at 7.45am LA time. I’ve been in total shock I just can’t believe he’s gone. Ronnie was one of the nicest people you could ever meet, we had some fantastic times together. Ronnie loved what he did, making music and performing on stage. He loved his fans so much. He was a kind man and would put himself out to help others. I can honestly say it’s truly been an honor to play at his side for all these years, his music will live on forever. Our thoughts are with Wendy Dio who stood by Ronnie until the end, he loved her very much. The man with the magic voice is a star amongst stars, a true professional. I’ll miss you so much my dear friend. RIP – Tony

Meine zweite CD überhaupt (1987) war rainbow – best of und besonders seine Stücke haben mich begeistert. Letzte Woche habe ich beim laufen noch stargazer gehört. Ein kleiner Mann mit ganz großer Stimme!

Die Rainbow „on stage“ hat mir mit 14 Jahren überohrendeutlich gemacht, dass man auch anders als die Beatles und Dylan singen kann!
R.I.P. Ronnie!!!

Komme eben von der Arbeit und bin total schockiert. Wie der eine oder andere hier weiß bin ich jahrelanger Fan von Ronnie und muss zum ersten Mal zugeben daß mir aus Gründen meiner Leidenschaft für Musik die Tränen kommen. Alles gute Ronnie.

A Letter To Ronnie
5/16/2010
[ back ]Dear Ronnie,
I just got off stage in Zagreb. I was met with the news that you’ve passed on. I’m kind of in shock, but I wanted you to know that you were one of the main reasons I made it onto that stage to begin with. When I first saw you in Elf, opening for Deep Purple in 1975, I was completely blown away by the power in your voice, your presence on stage, your confidence, and the ease with which you seemed to connect to 6000 Danish people and one starry-eyed 11 year old, most of whom were not familiar with Elf’s music. The following year, I was so psyched when I heard the results of you joining forces with my favorite guitar player. You guys sounded so right for each other and I instantly became Rainbow’s #1 fan in Denmark. In the fall of 1976, when you played your first show in Copenhagen, I was literally in the front row and the couple of times we made eye contact you made me feel like the most important person in the world. The news that you guys were staying in town on your day off somehow embedded itself in my brain and I made the pilgrimage to the Plaza Hotel to see if I could somehow grab a picture, an autograph, a moment, anything. A few hours later you came out and were so kind and caring… pictures, autographs and a couple minutes of casual banter. I was on top of the world, inspired and ready for anything. Rainbow came to Copenhagen a couple more times over the next few years and each time you guys blew my mind, and for a good three years were my absolute favorite band on this planet. Over the years I’ve been fortunate enough to run into you a half dozen times or so and each time you were as kind, caring and gracious as you were in 1976 outside the hotel. When we finally got a chance to play together in Austria in 2007, even though I may not have let on, I was literally transformed back to that little snot nosed kid who you met and inspired 31 years earlier and it was such a fucking honor and a dream come true to share a stage with you and the rest of the legends in Heaven and Hell. A couple of weeks ago when I heard that you were not going to be able to make it to the Sonisphere shows that we would be sharing this June, I wanted to call you and let you know that I was thinking of you and wish you well, but I kind of pussied out, thinking the last thing you needed in your recovery was feeling obligated to take a phone call from a Danish drummer/fan boy. I wish I’d made that call. We will miss you immensely on the dates, and we will be thinking of you with great admiration and affection during that run. It seemed so right to have you out on tour with the so-called “Big Four” since you obviously were one of the main reasons that the four bands even exist. Your ears will definitely be burning during those two weeks because all of us will be talking, reminiscing and sharing stories about how knowing you has made our lives that much better.
Ronnie, your voice impacted and empowered me, your music inspired and influenced me, and your kindness touched and moved me. Thank you.
Much love,
Lars

***Is it me for a moment, the stars are falling The heat is rising, the past is calling***HOLY DIVER konnte ich mal auswendig. Und selbst meine Mutter war seinerzeit begeistert von den gesanglichen Qualitäten, auch wenn sie sehr weit weg vom Hardrock gebaut ist.

***Is it me for a moment, the stars are falling The heat is rising, the past is calling***Mitte der 80er Jahre in der 5. Oder 6. Klasse projizierte mein Religionslehrer in einer Stunde über Okkultismus verschiedene Plattencover via Overheadprojektor an die Wand. Sollte wohl abschreckend wirken. Holy Diver war das böseste von allen und gefiel mir natürlich prompt am besten. Anschließend ließ ich es mir sofort von meinem älteren Cousin auf Tape aufnehmen. Später kaufte ich es nach. Viel mehr hatte ich leider nie aber das war toll! RIP Ronnie

Ist ja auch eigentlich die Essenz seines Soloschaffens. Der Rest verblasst etwas. Lediglich The last in line, mit Abstrichen Sacred Heart u. das sehr unterschätzte Dream Evil kommen in die Nähe dieses epochalen Werks für das Hard ’n Heavy Genre. Andere Platten wie Lock up the wolves, Kill the Dragon oder Magica können die Erfolgsformel leider auch nicht annähernd wiederholen.
