I wish I could have seen him before he died but I wasn't even a full year old yet at the time. Still great that he's acknowledged and the attention he deserves
During covid lock down i was quietly working on my family's newly purchased home before we moved...alone and listing to the radio. My local "classic rock" station was changing from 60,70 and playing more 80s rock. Only then did i discover this master piece and im forever greatful!
Saw Dio on his Holy Diver tour & it was one of my most favorite memories. Being 14yrs old to grow up with the 80s arsenal of music was truly a blessing
dudes, this song unironically saved my life. had crippling anxiety and depression due to army shit, and one day a few years back when I was on the verge of absolutely losing it, I started singing this in my head. any time I feel anxiety or depression coming back, I literally just start jamming to this in my head, and it goes away ride that tiger
Dio is not dead, he is over heaven Edit : Thanks you for the likes, I didn’t expected my comment gonna has so much likes, I’ve just written it for absolute fun
Duuuude, I know right! I've realized that myself This song is like a Shakespearean poem of its own, his vocals, his tone, the lyrics, and the instrumentals are all on points with each other, even on the chorus
@@oldtimer7635 Then why are you even here? From what I’m understanding, you took time out of your day to scroll through the comments of a song you don’t even seem to enjoy, just to find a positive comment, and write three words. Truly pathetic.
"Dad, why is my sister called Rose" "Because your mom loves roses" "Oh alright, thank you dad" "No problem, Dio - Holy Diver (Official Music Video) [HD]"
! The debut album and the original lineup are set in stone to last forever like Ronnie's songs, lyrics and music..Ronnie lives for ever trough his music! 🤘🤘🤘🤘
I saw Dio back in high-school, 85", with Jake E. Lee on guitar. About 3 rows back, front and center and when he played " Don't Talk to Strangers " my best friend and I just got the biggest rush watching the flames and hearing his powerful voice; it was something I'll never forget
Saw him in Pittsburgh in '86 I think, the Sacred Heart tour. He was .. idk there's not a word lol. There will never be another voice like that in rock.
People always talk about what a great voice Ronny had, and rightfully so, but very few really pay attention to his masterful lyrics and song arrangements, which were simply amazing. The man knew how to put together great songs.
Honestly, you're probably right. However, from where I'm sitting, it literally wouldn't matter too much what he sang, he had the best voice I've ever heard in rock n roll, or even music actually, in close to half a century of listening. There's no comparison to anyone else whatsoever, to me. Thinking about it, I don't think any of his songs actually drew me in initially, it was always his voice that was the catalyst. He had, and still has, and probably will always have, the most perfect voice I've ever heard in my life. And while I enjoyed most of his music, I never really raved on his songs like I did with various other bands at time, but his voice was always what stood out to me, it always left it's mark and impression. More so to this day, very easily. This guy sang from his very soul, listen to him sing. Very few come anywhere close to the level of passion and sincerity which you can easily hear in his singing. I literally hear the sincerity in his voice, something I've never experienced at this level. Unfortunately, growing up I never fully understood how good he was. He's the only one I see now though. A truly unbelievable singer and the only one I search for all these years later, while the others I preferred while growing up, are completely forgotten. Dio is a once in a lifetime talent, who will be tough to match, let alone surpass. There are many greats out there, without question, but Dio is completely all alone at top, indisputably. Listen to him closely - you won't hear it from anyone else.

I've have been getting in to Ronnie James Dio music lately and I'm so glad I have discovered him as he is probably one of the best singers I have ever heard.
Ronnie James Dio was the best Hard Rock/Metal singer ever! Black Sabbath, Rainbow or solo in Dio always the best singer around! Rest in Peace Vocal God of Hard Rock! Still give me the chills when listening to him singing :) In a good way hehe.. cheers people that like Dio :)
He was the best metal singer hands down, but when you move into hard rock you are coming across Axl Rose, if u ask me they are very much on par when it comes to high pitched hard rock.
totally agree, I had the luck to see him in a concert around 2004, that was the best concert of my life, DIO was the best live performer I have ever seen, he even sounded better than in studio records, he played lots of songs from rainbow too, like gates of babylon, it was fantastic.

I was an 80's woman and at 62 I still am...I remember the tight spandex dresses, my hair was waste length and a wild mane of beach bleached chaos in which I used can Rave hair spray by the case lol I will go to my grave listening to this music
Is this heaven to Dio? Going in a never ending quest where he is the hero and must fight monsters to save the world? Sounds awesome and perfect for him.
I legit forgot Dio died while watching this video, I was thinking about things he might be doing right now reacting to his own videos and sht, then I read a comment that mentioned Dio's death then I remember he died a long time ago... The power of his music is still very strong... 🤘
Not to offend the legacy of R.J.D., but to me, no one beats Rob Halford in his prime. More of a metal voice though, but his range and articulated tonal power, dayummm! 🔥🤘🔥 Glenn Hughes "The Voice of Rock", also is top-3 to me, although he's more in the classic rock/hard rock camp.

Just watched the Ronnie James Dio documentary on showtime and it was quite revealing. He was an unbelievably cool dude, and a truly good man. And that voice! I never understood the draw to him when I was younger, I thought he was just a goofy nerd for his obsession with rainbows but, this documentary really opened my eyes to how beautiful of a person he truly was. Though I've been hooked on his music from the first time I watched the movie Iron Eagle. His contributions to metal is at least as much as anyone or any band. And his durability as a rockstar is virtually unparalleled. RIP Ronnie James Dio.
The documentary was good.. but it was also disappointing and misleading. The complete omission of Vivian Campbell was ridiculous.. but to be expected from Wendy “Dio”.. who is basically a fraud. She not only had a boyfriend for the last twenty years of Ronnie’s life.. and had a child with another man.. She also remarried a year after Ronnie passed. But still uses his name and portrays herself as the “grieving widow”. I find it odd how none of that information found its way into the supposed “official documentary”.. or how Wendy herself omitted all of that when SHE finished writing Ronnie’s “autobiography”. Or how it’s never mentioned in the rock press when she’s doing interviews shilling for any of the numerous reissues of Ronnie’s work, or live recordings that she’s released since he died. She makes Sharon Osbourne look like a saint in my opinion.
@@Riffking69 I was not aware of any of that. Considering the many many terrible things that many individuals are capable of, and the many horrific things that many actually perpetrate, I'm not exactly shocked. I suppose I wasn't necessarily speaking to the overall quality or accuracy of the documentary, I suppose I was just previously unaware of the character and spirit of Ronnie and was glad I came to understand how special he really was. Some are generally good virtuous individuals, some not so much, and some are truly evil.
My Favorite All Time Rock Singer, saw him several times! When I was signed to JIVE/RCA Records we were staying at the same hotel and became friends with the band. Hung out a lot with the band, I became good friends with Viv & we would jam at the hotel after shows. Funny Story, they had 2 dragons on stage and 1 kept breaking~It was a Spinal Tap Moment For sure. The Singer ChainSaw hung out with Jimmy Banes and would come to my room and raid the mini bar…..I guess that’s 3 stories and there’s so many more. I felt totally blessed to be part of it! London has many stories while I was there more than once!!!
I am so proud of my 17 year old son. He knows this song and decided to learn to play this on bass just for its iconic riff. FYI he plays a lot of Tool etc. but still have to give him credit for not liking all the crap that his gen is listening too,
When I write for my D&D campaigns I am always listening to DIO his music just makes it feel like the world I am making is coming to life that even my players have been listening to him to pump themselves up when I am about to host another session, long live DIO
I did the same back in the 80's...and I also listened to Ozzy as well.....made me fell the same way like you do, helps bring it to life and make it feel more real
The 1st Dio Cassette Album i buy is The Last in Line.... In 1985,6..... Omg.... I speed at night... Now, it's 2024 , March, 22.. I m 52 ,, have a wonderful grandkids. ... Still listening... I am a believer, n I have a faith in Christ.... But still Dio Fans... Live in Aizawl, Mizoram, North East India....
Im an audio engineering student and currently researching this song and Killswitch Engage's cover of it for a report. Im absolutely excited to be doing an assessment about Holy Diver, what an absolute honour! RIP Dio, you are the greatest.
Ronnie James Dio,the most powerful voice in all of rock and metal.Not just the greatest metal singer of all times but quite possibly the best vocalist ever.
Dio was my first concert. My parents owned a radio station so I got to meet Ron after the show - my first meeting with a rock star, aged about 13. He was very gracious. This came as a surprise me as I was expecting a big scary devil-worshiper! Haha. I was also very surprised that at my young age I already towered over him. RIP Ronnie James Dio

@@horsthooden4600 don’t Forget Halford and Dickinson
totally agree, I had the luck to see him in a concert around 2004, that was the best concert of my life, DIO was the best live performer I have ever seen, he even sounded better than in studio records, he played lots of songs from rainbow too, like gates of babylon, it was fantastic.
I know it is an unpopular opinion, but Dio was a better lead for Black Sabbath than Ozzy. Ozzy was still great though.
This song doesn't slap, it punch you right in the guts, like if the time didn't move during the song.
I'm speachless so I'll just clap 👏👏👏
*right through the guts.

I was an 80's woman and at 62 I still am...I remember the tight spandex dresses, my hair was waste length and a wild mane of beach bleached chaos in which I used can Rave hair spray by the case lol I will go to my grave listening to this music

I LOVE THIS SONG!!!
first heard this when I was 19yrs old, now I'm turning 43, and still rocks!!

Just turned 43 I feel ya

Is this heaven to Dio? Going in a never ending quest where he is the hero and must fight monsters to save the world? Sounds awesome and perfect for him.
He is doing all of that on the Silver Mountain
@user-dt7px5xp6z Depends the person.
Ronnie: That video turned out pretty cool.
Rest of Band: We shot a video?
Was this originally supposed to be a music video shoot? Or did a camera crew just show up at Dio's ruined castle to film his morning routine?
'Cause it was the middle of the day
Is this a JOJO REFRENCE
Its definitely random camera crew shows up at dio's castle and film his morning routine
the problem with this comment is i can tell if your talking about me or ronnie james dio
*no it was i dio*
this is true rock n roll...timeless song just like DIO
Was listening to a podcast that said,”imagine taking the place of a legendary singer & killing it?” Had to come listen to some DIO
I legit forgot Dio died while watching this video, I was thinking about things he might be doing right now reacting to his own videos and sht, then I read a comment that mentioned Dio's death then I remember he died a long time ago... The power of his music is still very strong... 🤘
True heavy metal never rusts !
That sick guitar solo will never get old!
Doesn't get enough credit.
Yeah.. and they edited part of it out for the video. That was a terrible idea
I've heard from Iron Maiden, to Judas Priest, Helloween to even Danzig. Dio just had the best voice of all metal
Not to offend the legacy of R.J.D., but to me, no one beats Rob Halford in his prime. More of a metal voice though, but his range and articulated tonal power, dayummm! 🔥🤘🔥 Glenn Hughes "The Voice of Rock", also is top-3 to me, although he's more in the classic rock/hard rock camp.
@@RushianRichard of course. Rob Halford will always be legendary. But to each their own
No one can beat the air horn the one and only bruce aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
Danzig was trash.
@@7Trux Danzig is a good singer. That's why The Misfits were so successful
Holy Diver is easily one of the best metal songs to ever exist. I love this song! :)
The graphics of this 1983 RPG are pretty impressive for its time.
Dio is the greatest Christian rock artist of all time
I don’t want Dio to be dead. I truly hope he’s in a place where he’s banishing those things that scare us, just with the power of his voice.
He is OVER HEAVEN
za waurdo... OVAH HEAVAN!
And don’t forget his trademark 🤘🏻
The most incredible vocalist of all time,excuse me OZZY
no one can compare to this musical genius!!! NO ! there will never be another RJD!!! long live RJD and his fabulous magical otherworldly music!!!
He may be gone physically but he is still with us in spirit.

Ronnie James Dio is to me, like Freddie Mercury.
They could sing ANYTHING!
Their talent was way too big to be confined to one genre.
I wish I had a Time Machine to see them live in their prime.
don't ever compare our Metal God DIO with this fa-get,what a cringe

What you want from shitty metal music videos from 80's?
@dentercognitarna7602 this video is not shitty it's awesome
I discovered this song after watching Tenacious D in the pick of destiny as a kid still rocking 😎
same tbh, the d gives so much credit to other artists in that movie, its incredible!
Better late than never
yeah bro!
Thankyou soo did I and this song absolutely kicks balls 🤘🥰
i watched that movie as a kid too im blessed to have jack black carrying my childhood
As someone who played D&D in the 80's, I loved the medieval fantasy in this video.
There are three paths that lead you here.
1) listening to his music before.
2) JoJo's bizarre adventure.
3) South Park.
actually my path is a little different. I heard this on Rock Band and on the Radio.
All of the above
There are others as well.
1. GTA Vice City Stories.
2. Killswitch Engage Cover Song
What if I said the fourth is Killswitch engage?

Just watched the Ronnie James Dio documentary on showtime and it was quite revealing. He was an unbelievably cool dude, and a truly good man. And that voice! I never understood the draw to him when I was younger, I thought he was just a goofy nerd for his obsession with rainbows but, this documentary really opened my eyes to how beautiful of a person he truly was. Though I've been hooked on his music from the first time I watched the movie Iron Eagle. His contributions to metal is at least as much as anyone or any band. And his durability as a rockstar is virtually unparalleled. RIP Ronnie James Dio.
Ever heard of 3 Inches of Blood? They did a song about Dio called Look Out. Good shit look it up.
@@tgcid2018 I haven't, though I will certainly check it out. Thanks for the recommendation.
The documentary was good.. but it was also disappointing and misleading. The complete omission of Vivian Campbell was ridiculous.. but to be expected from Wendy “Dio”.. who is basically a fraud. She not only had a boyfriend for the last twenty years of Ronnie’s life.. and had a child with another man.. She also remarried a year after Ronnie passed. But still uses his name and portrays herself as the “grieving widow”. I find it odd how none of that information found its way into the supposed “official documentary”.. or how Wendy herself omitted all of that when SHE finished writing Ronnie’s “autobiography”. Or how it’s never mentioned in the rock press when she’s doing interviews shilling for any of the numerous reissues of Ronnie’s work, or live recordings that she’s released since he died. She makes Sharon Osbourne look like a saint in my opinion.
@@Riffking69 I was not aware of any of that. Considering the many many terrible things that many individuals are capable of, and the many horrific things that many actually perpetrate, I'm not exactly shocked. I suppose I wasn't necessarily speaking to the overall quality or accuracy of the documentary, I suppose I was just previously unaware of the character and spirit of Ronnie and was glad I came to understand how special he really was. Some are generally good virtuous individuals, some not so much, and some are truly evil.
No beard No tattoo just his amazing METAL voice Rip DIO
My Favorite All Time Rock Singer, saw him several times! When I was signed to JIVE/RCA Records we were staying at the same hotel and became friends with the band. Hung out a lot with the band, I became good friends with Viv & we would jam at the hotel after shows.
Funny Story, they had 2 dragons on stage and 1 kept breaking~It was a Spinal Tap Moment For sure. The Singer ChainSaw hung out with Jimmy Banes and would come to my room and raid the mini bar…..I guess that’s 3 stories and there’s so many more. I felt totally blessed to be part of it! London has many stories while I was there more than once!!!
Hope he is good in heaven! Killing the dragon while on a silver mountain, catching a rainbow in the dark
I hope dios fine up there. Got destroyed by a punching ghost that apparently had the same powers as dios punching ghost.
Little Shining Light: "Heaven is where you want to be." Dio: "Piss off, I want to burn in Hell with all of you!"
I am so proud of my 17 year old son. He knows this song and decided to learn to play this on bass just for its iconic riff. FYI he plays a lot of Tool etc. but still have to give him credit for not liking all the crap that his gen is listening too,
I used to like that crap until I discovered metal, now that music sounds like it is, crap
Absolute classic. Best ever. Long live Dio and rock and roll
RIP Dio, you're a vocalist and you sing the song "Holy Diver".
When I write for my D&D campaigns I am always listening to DIO his music just makes it feel like the world I am making is coming to life that even my players have been listening to him to pump themselves up when I am about to host another session, long live DIO
I did the same back in the 80's...and I also listened to Ozzy as well.....made me fell the same way like you do, helps bring it to life and make it feel more real
Listen to the first song of the Conan the barbarian soundtrack.

By all accounts, Ronnie was the nicest guy in rock n roll. a true original.

I still hear his voice every single day, man.
Today the release of this song is 30 years ago and it still rocks
Alpha November it is 40 what u mean
I love the guitar tone of early 80's metal. It it just sounds so punchy and muscular for the lack of a better description.
Gone too soon but always metal forever
Ronnie James Dio,the most powerful voice in all of rock and metal.Not just the greatest metal singer of all times but quite possibly the best vocalist ever.
Dio was my first concert. My parents owned a radio station so I got to meet Ron after the show - my first meeting with a rock star, aged about 13. He was very gracious. This came as a surprise me as I was expecting a big scary devil-worshiper! Haha. I was also very surprised that at my young age I already towered over him. RIP Ronnie James Dio
you spelt his name wrong silly is Dio Brando
Wait, how tall were you if you "towered" over him?
@@rikustorm13 I don't know how tall I was at the time, but I ended up at 6' 4". I was probably close to that at the time. I just looked up how tall he was and apparently he was 5' 4".
What a Masterpiece!! No one will ever compare, gone too soon.
Hi I recommend a new indie song called 'Looking Into The Mirror' By Robert Nix
