Thanks for stopping by for my Dio spoof! If you enjoyed the video, click this link to subscribe to my channel: th-cam.com/channels/X7srdaLLEXgBV3Zf8lYajA.html And don't miss the Metallica Master of Puppets spoof "Master of Christmas" we did the following year! th-cam.com/video/TYcyQcvrnJs/w-d-xo.html
Absolutely 💯 wicked cool. Seen Dio in 1983 and also in 2002 in Charlotte North Carolina with the Scorpions and Deep Purple. Thank you for this video. Well done!!
Just stumbled across this and, as a big Dio, was sceptical to start, but this was great! Fun story and graphics and solid vocals: you're not Dio, but no one else was or ever will be. Great job!
Wow, what a great video! I love it! It’s well sung with great lyrics. My kind of Christmas song. This is a nice way to keep Ronnie’s memory alive every year.
Agreed! Maybe "It's always a Mystery" is even more mainstream. But it was slightly cheesy in an 80's way, moreso than this song. I still love it though.
+Brian Hunsaker Of course it doesn't sound just like Dio...that would be sacrilege... but it IS badass in it's own right, and I bet Ronnie woulda loved it too!!!

As a huge Dio fan since the 70s, I can say this is nicely done. Peace out and long live rock 'n' roll.
Thanks man!

Thank you, I've seen Dio on multiple occasions, and was in a Dio tribute band for 2 years! My fave.
This is the greatest Christmas song I have come across during my 50+ years of walking this earth...
Wow, please share it with whoever may enjoy!
Brought a tear of laughter to my eye, and a respectable tribute to the legendary RJD.
Thank you! We love Dio!
I was smiling the whole time I listened. I loved it. Nice tribute to Ronnie.
Thank you!
The lyrics are amazing
Thank you, they were done mostly by a friend of mine!
Thanks for the support guys! This was a ton of fun to work on and turned out better than we imagined!

Thank you for the listen!
Lol.
Very well done Ronnie would approve
I'm glad to hear that!
Wow, what a great video! I love it! It’s well sung with great lyrics. My kind of Christmas song. This is a nice way to keep Ronnie’s memory alive every year.

Weird Al Yokivik would be PROUD!!
I like me some Weird Al. And Dio!
Pretty cool!!
Glad you enjoyed!
Great release, thumbs up:D
Thank you!
I'm new to Ronnie James Dio's music. What song is this spoofed from?
Rainbow in the dark. It's probably his most famous song ever.
@@BrianHunsakerMusic I'll check that out. Thank you!!!
BTW: totally enjoyed this song. Great work!!!
@@sierratrilogy sure thing! I'm coming out with original music next year! Stay tuned.
Why am i only discovering this now? Damn you algorithm!
Haha, that's my most popular video! The original quality metal Christmas spoof (as far as I'm aware).
@BrianHunsakerMusic that kinda makes sense. Rainbow is probably one of (if not the) most mainstream and accessible Dio song.
Agreed! Maybe "It's always a Mystery" is even more mainstream. But it was slightly cheesy in an 80's way, moreso than this song. I still love it though.
By any chance would this be the same Chris Rush who was A dj at WTOS here in maine?
Nope, he's in WA.
Shit, you're better than I thought, nice
Thanks for the listen and the comment!
Beats the STUFFING out of "God Rest Ye Merry, Gentlemen." You do know that Ronnie got railroaded into recording that?
I heard that yes. Thanks!
So rad! 😂😀😎
Thanks!
'Dat vocals vibrato!
Yes, he's incredible!
@c4sb2008, thank you for the listen. Hopefully we'll do something similar for next year!
¡☆☆☆ Filthy ☆☆☆! FLEAS ON MY BASS and fleas on my dog.
Thank you. Haha Flea is a great bassist
❤️
Thank you for the listen and comment!
This is really good, but sounds more like Bruce Dickinson than Dio.
I agree. We had fun doing it for sure!
Beavis and Ham Salad! Good job! It's your homie! I need a gallon of milk!
You, get me some top ramen!
Brandon Pruitt, he is close but to say he sounds JUST LIKE Dio is wrong. NOBODY sounds like Dio! Never will. good job though
You should check out Jorn Lande and the singer from Astral Doors. They sometimes sound just like Dio :)
That was awesome ronnies jam in his grave to this
I hope so. He was the king.
Omg 😂😂😂👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Thank you for the listen!
I like it XD
Glad you approve!
OMG!!!.....Noooooo.....i mean......hmmmm......noooo!!!...so confused and torn right now
Glad you enjoyed it!
Rambo & a duck 🏹🦆
Hahaha, thank you for the watch
LMFAO AWESOME!!!!
Much fun was had in the recording of this!
@darktonic Rock it Eric!!
Dam,cool,1
Thanks for the support!
How grim at the end...lol
Haha, yes. It was a lot of fun!
lol,this should have more views
It continues to rack them up :)
I actually liked this. It was A LOT better than Corey Taylor's cover (which is how I cam across this.)
Thanks Rhyno! We are huge Dio fans all.
Now I am sad.
Don't be sad. We have so much from Dio :)
sounds ALOT like Chris Jericho and Fozzy!!!
Haha, yes. We like him too!
@machiwoomiapoo, doo guy captain crunch!
I let ya know if I think of a good idea :)
Thank you!
not Dio, still funny :)
Haha, thanks!
Dude you sound just like dio. Amazing job.
Are you bloody daft? Your tone deaf for sure. Sounds nothing like Master DIO. This fool needs to be drawn and quartered!!
B Karlow I agree, doesn't sound much like Dio. Did you like the song though?
It was ok. I guess I am to much of a DIO purist.
Doesn't sound like Dio but it's pretty fucking neat in my opinion
+Brian Hunsaker Of course it doesn't sound just like Dio...that would be sacrilege... but it IS badass in it's own right, and I bet Ronnie woulda loved it too!!!
