Dennis BlandfordIst 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.
Dachte ich mir schon. Lohnt vermutlich eher der Blick weiter zurück. Was sollte man von Rainbow kennen?

Werbung1987 war Sacred Heart eines meiner Lieblingslieder. Die zugehörige LP bekam man damals vom Disc Center für ein paar Mark nachgeworfen, konnte das Niveau aber nicht halten. Lediglich Rock’n’Roll Children ist bei mir noch hängengeblieben. Am besten in Erinnerung geblieben sind bei mir bis heute die Alben, die er mit Black Sabbath gemacht hat.
R.I.P. Ronnie.

Ich bin noch zu jung u. kann Rainbow auch nur retrospektiv beurteilen. Bei manchen Songs war mir der Instrumentalteil u. das Ego von Blackmore immer einen Ticken zu groß. Für Neueinsteiger bzw. Leute die nicht alles von Dio kennen u. mehr auf die Härte der Achtziger, weniger das Epochale aus den Siebzigern, stehen, würde ich vor allem:
Holy Diver
The last in Line
Dream Evil
oder wahlweise zum Einstieg „Diamonds – The Best of 1983-90“
sowie eigentlich alle Platten, wie sparch schon andeutete, mit Sabbath empfehlen.--

Am wenigsten davon findet man wohl auf Long Live Rock’n’Roll, wenngleich auch hier Blackmore die Finger nicht ganz davon lassen konnte. Aber Lady Of The Lake beispielsweise hat schon typische Dio Qualitäten.

On the sad news that Ronnie James Dio passed away May 16th.
Ritchie had this to say : „Ronnie had a unique and wonderful voice. He will be sadly missed in the rock and roll world.“- Ritchie Blackmore--
***Is it me for a moment, the stars are falling The heat is rising, the past is calling***Letzte Worte von Geezer Butler:
http://www.roadrunnerrecords.com/blabbermouth.net/news.aspx?mode=Article&newsitemID=140298
Bassist Geezer Butler (BLACK SABBATH, HEAVEN & HELL) has released the following statement regarding the passing of legendary heavy metal singer Ronnie James Dio (DIO, HEAVEN & HELL, BLACK SABBATH, RAINBOW):
„It’s impossible to express in mere words the relationship Ronnie and I, Wendy and my wife Gloria had. He was much more than a friend, fellow musician, band mate. If I have a soul, then he is part of it. I truly believe God, fate, destiny, whatever it’s called, brought us together again in 2006, after not seeing each other for 14 years, to do one final tour, which turned into three major tours and an album. We were having a blast together, enjoying each other’s company more than we had ever done before, talking about maybe doing one more album, when fate intervened again. We were planning on doing a two- or three-part North American tour, after having toured South America and Europe in spring/summer 2009, but on the first leg of the North American tour, Tony’s [Iommi] hand ligaments were in a bad way, Vinny’s [Appice] shoulder became dislocated, and Ronnie was having terrible stomach pains. We decided to cut the tour, get healthy, and carry on the following year. Tony and Vinny had successful procedures to fix their ailments, but Ronnie’s stomach pains were worsening. I saw him at the Dio Halloween party, but he wasn’t drinking, unusual for Ronnie who liked his tipple. He was telling me he had made an appointment with a specialist, to see what it was…..
„Wednesday, 12th May 2010.
„Wendy invited Gloria and I to lunch in Santa Barbara. A few close friends of Ronnie and Wendy, Omar, Simon, Paul, Tim, and Diana, had dropped by. Ronnie had no appetite whatsoever — the disease and the chemotherapy were taking an immense toll. As usual, we talked sports and had a laugh together — it would be the last time. That night, I had a beautiful email from him, that I will treasure forever. I sent him an email saying I’d see him during the following week.
„Friday, 14th May 2010.
„Wendy called to say she had taken Ronnie to hospital. The pain had become unbearable. We got to the hospital around 2 p.m. The doctor eventually sedated him. More and more friends were coming to visit — we took it in turns to hold Ronnie’s hand, and whisper our thoughts to him. Wendy wouldn’t leave his side — she stayed curled up on his bed the whole night. Gloria’s assistant, Debi, kept her company. I emailed Tony to prepare him for bad news.
„Saturday, 15th May 2010.
„There was no mistaking Ronnie’s room. There were around 25 to 30 friends outside his room. We knew the end was imminent. We all wanted to say our goodbyes. It was a day filled with tears and reflection. In the evening, the chaplain came, and we all gathered around Ronnie’s bed and prayed. Ronnie wasn’t going easily. At 11 p.m., most of us left, leaving Wendy her privacy to say her last farewell. The devastation was palpable.
„Sunday, 16th May 2010.
„7.46 a.m. As we were preparing to leave for the hospital, Gloria called Wendy to see if she wanted a coffee or any breakfast — she broke the sad news. Ronnie had just passed away.
„Wendy Dio has been a true saint through all this. She has been with Ronnie every step of the way. Her courage has amazed us all. Even as I write, she is ensuring Ronnie has the finest send-off possible. God bless you, Wendel.
„Most people who were there for those last days chose to keep their thoughts private. I wanted to keep my thoughts private, too, but I’ve been overwhelmed by emails, and requests from the media and fans for comments.
„I can truly say I’ve never known anyone to have such loyal, loving friends, fans, and family as Ronnie. He really was a special person, blessed with a unique voice and presence. He loved his fans — he would stay meeting and talking to them until the early hours of the morning.
„One of my fondest memories of him comes from last year, at the Sonisphere Festival, Knebworth. He noticed my sister and her husband at the side of the stage. During our opening song, he took the time to go over and hug them. Just a little thing like that made him special to me.
„Of course his music will live on forever, as will his influence.
„I have never seen so many tributes from so many musicians and fans, so many good wishes, no cynicism, just pure love and appreciation for a great man.
„God bless you, Ronald — thank you so much for the wonderful memories.“

***Is it me for a moment, the stars are falling The heat is rising, the past is calling***Rainbow mit Ronnie, welche Alben? Alle :lol: Die Bemerkungen mit dem Blackmore Ego überlese ich mal… Ein guter Einstieg könnte mit Live on Stage erfolgen, das hat bei mir geklappt, dann Rainbow, Rising und Long Live Rock ’n‘ Roll dazukaufen und man hat durchweg allerbeste Musik!
RIP Ronnie! You will be missed by many… but never forgotten!

„I’m truly upset, especially since he seemed to be rallying at the Golden Gods show. Bon Voyage, Ronnie, rest in peace. I’m devastated“

[U]Hier ein ausführlicher, persönlicher Nachruf eines Freundes von mir, der Dio in vergangengenen Jahren öfter interviewt hat und dessen Gesamtwerk wohl in allen Schattierungen kennt. (Im Freundeskreis hatten wir uns des öfteren darüber amüsiert, dass er jedes Mal sichtlich empört war, wenn es die Tagesschau mal wieder versäumt hatte, pflichtgemäß über die Veröffentlichung eines neuen Dio-Albums oder die „Heaven and Hell“-Reunion Bericht zu erstatten.)

"And everything I know is what I need to know and everything I do's been done before."Wir allen könnten uns dankbar schätzen, wenn an unserem Ende mal so zahlreich Menschen eintreffen, um sich zu verabschieden. Viele Menschen sterben so einsam…. :-(((

Bin total geschockt, von Dios Tod zu lesen. Das ist wirklich gespenstisch und seltsam: Schaue den Kerl seit 2 Tagen ständig auf meinem Bildschirm an, weil ich versuche, eine Datei mit dem Rockpalast-Auftritt von Porcupine Tree auf DVD zu bannen, was mir nicht gelingt. Auf der Aufnahme ist davor der 2005er Mitschnitt von HEAVEN & HELL. Der endet mit nem Interview mit Dio. Echt gruselig, wenn ich jetzt lese, dass er tot ist. Das bedauere ich sehr. Die SABBATH- und teils auch die PURPLE-Sachen von ihm waren neben RAINBOW grosse Klasse. Sehr traurig…..
