Ronnie James Dio (1942-2010) died on the 16th of May. He will be missed. I played many of roleplaying sessions to his music.
 
Wow, what a shame!
He was a bad-ass!
"Rainbow in the Dark" is still one of the hard rock legends that can never be duplicated!
R.I.P.
 
My personal favorite was the Last in Line cover with the Egyptian setting. At the time my favorite module was I3 The Pharaoh. I loved playing that album and Iron Maiden's Powerslave album when DMing that module.

Ah...Those were the days!

Yeah! First concert was DIO on August 13, 1984. Twisted Sister opened up.

No way! I saw that tour as well! In fact, I got to see Dio twice in the span of about 3 days. I had some friends in Minneapolis who had gotten me a ticket for Dio there in Minneapolis. When I got back to Wisconsin, I found out some of my friends back there were going to see Dio at the Rosemont in Chicago, so I went with them and saw him a second time.

He was easily one of my biggest musical influences, and I have never gamed a session without at least one Dio track playing in the background. \m/
