@@richarddavies5901 Nobody really knew at the time that Classic rock would include heavy metal. It isn't going anywhere some of the newer generations love it too.
What an amazing album! This exudes pure heavy rock/metal roots in the early eighties. I saw the Last in Line Tour 1985. They played all the songs off of this album. It was a night of magical music! Ronnie is a master of music and vocals. No one does it better. RIP Ronnie James Dio! God bless your heart!🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
cool i bought this the day it came out on cassette.i am also 56..saw the tours through out his career. saw him with Sabbath 8 times.solo 12 and twice with h&h .Hes the best frontman ever
@@manhattan7055 well since Dio joined sabbath in 79 i think after ozzy left after never say die album it had to be a mob rules tour ir live evil album tour with Dio
@@manhattan7055 to me Holy Diver was much better than his other Dio albums.when i saw him live with Dio many times he would play Rainbow,Sabbath & Dio songs.always
I'm 59 and grew up with Dio during his Rainbow days, then his Sabbath early 80's awesome 2 albums, then his entire solo career. Ronnie is a legend that will never be duplicated again. Damn I miss those 70's and 80's metal/hard rock days.
Yea man it is a good song. I think you might like Daphne Descends by the Smashing Pumpkins just from listening to this song. Not the same style but it reminds me of the other song for some reason.
My friend worked at WEA Records and gave me a copy of this album before it was released to the public. She knew I was a Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, Judas Priest, Rush etc and ask me to tell her what I thought. That album didn`t come off my turn table for a long long time. Dio was a showman and a story teller . I saw him with Rainbow, Sabbath but when I saw him on this tour, this was a whole nother animal ! Will go down as one of the best albums in history!
Strongest voice and with amazing lyrics in the genre. Most agree Ronnie was the best heavy metal singer, and Rob Halford, and Bruce Dickenson are the top 3. Really there's an easy top 10 but I'll stop there.
@@PDXDrumr Yeah it's one of those albums, masterpiece. I was a kid (19) in my room and I put this sucker on the turntable. I'd get my bass on and learn every note. We couldn't play it out though because no singer would dare try.
My Aunt use to sing Dio to us when we were kids, she was a professional singer and always said RJD, Halford, and Geoff Tate were really good singers and understood why we loved this music. She knew all the words which shocked us all.
Dio is one of those groups once you hear them once, you want to seek deeper. I first heard them at 12 years old. As a black kid in the hood, they opened my listening perspective of music leading me to hear groups like Metallica. I'm 47 now...Still bumping them. 2chains one day, Holy diver the next 😂
Ronnie was such a great guy to talk with, he always made you feel like you were the important one. He also had the utmost respect for his fans. R.I.P. Ronnie James Dio. 🤘🤘
I saw RJD sacred heart tour. I rushed the stage when the lights went out before the show started got front row center. No legit tick and not general admission. Lol. I got two neon pink picks from Vivian Campbell. Gave one to two hot girls who made a killer banner . A memory the girls or I will never forget! Amazing show!!!!! Huge fan. God rest his kind loving soul!
Вот чем отличается хит от шедевра? Хит понравился, послушал месяц, послушал два и забыл, а шедевр услышал, выпал в осадок и потом слушаешь всю жизнь снова и снова.) Вот "Holy Driver" услышал на службе в 1985, а сегодня аж 2024 г и снова слушаю нашего дорогого Ронни Дж. Дио с превеличайшим удовольствием.
IMHO the surrounding with Dio's influence just freed his mind and abilities ... history with Def Leppard was "just in the group" as here with Dio he showed his incredible potential. One of my favourite metal guitarists !
Этим голосом можно наслаждаться вообще без музыкального сопровождения. В вокале Dio уже и гитары и орган и ударные и симфонический оркестр. Редкий талант. Земля пухом ему.
Ronnie James Dio was such a great singer and songwriter! I was fortunate to have seen Dio live in concert on three separate occasions (The Last in Line tour, Sacred Heart tour, and Angry Machines tour). The Last in Line concert was the best I've seen out of all the concerts I've seen over the years. Ronnie's voice sounded excellent live! Such a great entertainer!
I remember Dio getting a lot of jokey criticism in Kerrang! many years ago but you just knew all the journos respected him, I remember the band playing the Birmingham nec I think it was, about 1984? I think at that time I was just happy to see it reviewed in the magazine, at that time I'd only have been about 14 and had nobody to take me to see them live!
That's right, the Last in line Tour was the Best of all Dio' s Tour. I see Ronnie six times but not in the Rainbow (absolutely awesome) and Sabbath period 😢. The Last in line show was really amazing and Vinnie Appice too.
Dio is a legend, from Elf to Rainbow, to B. Sabbath, to his solo career. (Damn, V. Cambell was the perfect fit with Ronnie, its too bad they never got along).. Hard rock/Metal in the 70's and 80's will never be matched..ever
Every single song seemed charged with magic. Each lyric seemed written to be personally interpreted by each individual listener. Collectively each riff, beat and solo built the story in our ears and energized our minds. Works of Dio and his bandmates will never be equaled. I believe it will always be part of the soundtrack for our lives. Rest Easy RJD, and thank you to you and the band for enriching our world. I think the Man on the Silver Mountain would be pleased to know that the magic is still strong and true.
This rock music is the best of both worlds Ronnie James Dio will never be forgotten and still has to be by far the best rock and roll we're going to sadly miss him
One of the best voices ever in metal. I saw him with Sabbath and he was AWESOME! We were very fortunate that he was here but he left us way too soon. RIP RJD🤘🏻😈🤘🏻
The drums on this entire album are just insane... every track. Of course, the rest of the band and RJD are on point, but the drums are on a different level.
Been listening to rock/metal for 25 years. However, this is the first time I listen this album. How is it even possible??? How could I miss Dio throughout those years? Maybe this is for a reason. If I would listen Dio back then, I would found most of the 3rd wave heavy metal bands miserable...
Me too! I watched the documentary on him and listened to "Heaven and Hell", which blew me away and led me here. I was a D&D nerd into hard music and somehow didn't know about this? No cool older brothers or cousins I guess. But it's even better now that I appreciate it and something like this has to come back and replace this vapid crap!
Straight through the heart is pure, raw metal at its finest. Caught in rhe Middle and Rainbow in the dark are the songs to play for someone who's not a metal fan. Shame on the night is the #1 Dio song that shows off Dio's voice. The best voice in metal.
I bought this album when it came out in '83. Blown away. Saw Dio that year at Donington MOR and just about ever UK tour after. Wish I could hear this album for the very first time again...
I can't say how many times that I seen a Dio in concert I'd say around 6 but the best one was when Queensryche opened for him that was a hell of a show I tell ya'!!! It's in my top 5, along with Whitesnake & AC/DC, Ozzy & Saxon, Accept, Def Leppard & Judas Priest and any Iron Maiden concert, seen them about a dozen times.
@@debilombard1435 I lived in Germany for 30 years 73-03 and I lived within an hour and an half of 3 locals that had concerts Frankfurt was the farthest, than Russelsheim about 45min. and Offenbach about a half hour. In my time over there I seen 83 concerts from Monsters of Rock to just bands touring. And the best part for me was I got to see Maiden 12 times starting in 80 when they played at festival they were the 2nd band to hit the stage out of 7 bands B.O.C., Kansas and foreigner where the headliners and of course Motorhead was there seen them at every big event and the other 2 bands at this show where More and 38 Special, some good memories I tell ya. Rock On!
@@debilombard1435 I guess in way I was lucky, I got to see Accept & Def Leppard on there first major tours and they opened for Judas Priest that one's also in my top 5. But one band I got to see that I was a fan of from the 60's was Status Quo they played for 2 1/2 hrs that for me was a great show, I'm 70 by the way and I've been a rocker my whole life started playin' the drums when I was 10 got in my first band when I was 13 and I was the drummer and lead singer, yehaa that was fun. But since 2013 I've been listening to J-Rock & J-Metal, and if you haven't heard any Japanese bands might I suggest Lovebites, Nemophila and Band-Maid. I like to tell people that Rock&Roll didn't die it just moved to Japan. So if you haven't heard of them enjoy.
i got 2 see the last in line tour 2 times. glad i did. saw him on mob rules tour twice and on live evil tour too.Hail the mighty Black Sabbath.its not just music its in your brain ,your soul.your being! R I.P. DIO.
I had the good fortune to see him many times when he was playing in little and large hole in the wall clubs in central New York, with a band called Elf, Dave Feinstein on guitar. It was hard to believe such a fat full sounding voice could come out of a person his size. And then thankfully saw him so many other times when he hit "the Big Time". Only other singer I've heard with such depth of tonality was Cris Cornell. But Dio's presence overshadows any other singers in the genre.
I was bless enough to see his very first solo show as DIO at the Concert Barn in Antioch, CA. It was AWESOME to say the least. Vivian Campbell came out and walked the line signing autographs. I later got Ronnie's and Jimmy Bains as well.
Saw them a week later in Sacramento. Mind blowing. aerosmith headlined and sucked. Tyler horribly drunk. Best opening band ever....if not the best ever period. Two for one. Worst headliner ever with best opening band.
Me too!!! Fell in love with his lyrics. My highschool sweet heart and a group of our friends seen him in concert in 1982. May he rest in peace. He was a very spiritual person.
First heard two tunes with and from some other artist and I still like those tunes and today is the first opportunity to hear the whole album. Ronnie James Dio had a screaming voice like no other but very well rounded and in tune.
@@pavelignatenkov7391 lmao wtf you said you dumbass this album is chosen as one of the greatest 100 metal albums of all time and its at the 16th row, professional raters and metal musicians gave this album 9,/9,5 star out of 10,this album influenced a lot of rock and metal bands,even considered as one of the albums that influenced nwobhm bands and other bands of genres, this album is considered as one of the influencers of nwobhm,john campbell of rolling stones says this album is one of the best of all time,everything is really melodic dio's voice is very good,he shouts very flawless,very bush drums are playing 4/4 ,6/4 without no mistake they are very congruent with the guitars no over drum fills,nice basic rock/heavy metal beats with few additional notes,no over bass drum playing or over snare chops,guitars and bass are really good no over down picking,extremeness very good powerchords vibratos and slides all of them done melodically and correctly and well,solos are awesome,fast yet no overplaying and no over sweep picking and screeching sound ,also this album is known as the best effort of the band you are very wrong and you think you know all but you dont know shit
Ronny James Dio ist für mich der Inbegriff des Heavy Metal, und seine Stimme einmalig und unerreicht . Bis heute!!! Er hat ja auch bei/ mit Black Sabbath, Rainbow sehr erfolgreich mitgewirkt👋👍. Und natürlich mit seiner Gruppe DIO den Metal positiv geprägt/beeinflusst 🖤🖤. Mit diesem genialen Holy Diver Album schuf er ein absolutes Meisterwerk 👍🎤🎸. Ich habe Ronny/DIo live bei seiner Killing the Dragon Tour 2004 in Stuttgart(im LKA) und im Brenzpark in Heidenheim (als Vorgruppe von Deep Purple) gesehen/ gehört und wurde natürlich nicht enttäuscht. Es war einfach brilliant!!!! Vor allem er 🎤und sein Gittarist Doug Aldrige 🎸 sorgten für Gänsehaut Pur. 😲👋 Diese 2 Konzerte waren eine der Besten die ich je gesehen/gehört habe.🖤🖤 Leider war da Ronnie schon gesundheitlich angeschlagen und musste deshalb auch diese Tour verkürzen./abbrechen ☹️ Seine Frau hat danach im Metalhammer ein Statement abgegeben und sich bei den Fans entschuldigt! Sie hat dann auch von seiner Krebserkrankung erzählt. 😪 Das hat mich emotional sehr berührt, und ich habe sogar ihr und Ronnie meine Genesungs Wünsche per Brief mitgeteilt. Leider hat er den Kampf verloren und ist ja letztendlich 2010 gestorben. 😪☹️🖤 Wieder ein Metal Gott weniger. ☹️😎🎤 RUHE IN FRIEDEN Ronnie. 🖤🖤🤟🤟 Er bleibt unvergessen!!!!!! 😎🤟👋
Takes me back to my heyday of melee and mayhem...🤘 Now at 57, I still reach for my 40oz "caguama" and my favorite smoke pipe and reminisce about the olden golden daze of living in a haze.🤘
Love the slight deviation from 4:4 timing during the solo in invisible at 29:45. Adds that little bit of suspense to the intensity coming up. Song writing Easter eggs.
I saw this man no less then 5 times in live concert. What a showman. Just so good live...even better then these recordings. LOVE YOU RONNIE RIP! My fav album of all time is Live Evil. SO GOOD! Vivian's insane guitar work is incredible on this album.
I found out about Dio when I was 10 after reading a comic book with a character named after him, I can honestly say he's in my top 5 favorite singers now
Мда , были времена ... теперь в Донецке выступают только отбросы рашистской эстрады . Свобода скоро вернется туда и отпразднуем развал подлой недоимперии грандиозным рок концертом )))
I seen Dio on the Holy Diver tour, the Last In Line tour, and first seen Ronnie w Black Sabbath on the Mob Rules tour. I have my Holy Diver lp signed by Jimmy Bain and Dio himself. May they rest in God's peace and love
Another example of lighting in a bottle. This album is just down right filthy with the riffage, melody, intense vocals, such a tight band. DIO is the GOAT

Theatrical is the best word to describe their presence on scene. And most later bands that sing their songs are trying to adopt this feature

Straight through the heart is pure, raw metal at its finest.
Caught in rhe Middle and Rainbow in the dark are the songs to play for someone who's not a metal fan.
Shame on the night is the #1 Dio song that shows off Dio's voice. The best voice in metal.
A legend gone but NOT forgotten!🤘🤘
NEVER Forgotten 😊😊😊
On this night 14 years ago, Ronnie James Dio performed his last show. Best metal singer of all time. RIP Ronnie 🤘
He got promoted to Arch Angel Dio.
Can't believe he started as a 50s doo wop rock and roll singer
Ronnie, what an epic voice and personality.
This album is perfect. No fat, all meat. 40 minutes of metal perfection.
It'll wake people up!!! Something monumental here.
Yeah like The Rock of Metal.
I bought this album when it came out in '83. Blown away. Saw Dio that year at Donington MOR and just about ever UK tour after. Wish I could hear this album for the very first time again...
Simple put I played this cassette so much in high school I wore the ink off the cassette. Rock&roll forever!
I Understand That 😊😊
Lets do it for dio who will never be forgotten! LETS STAND UP AND SHOUT!
Amen To That 😊😊😊

Vivian Campbell is insane on this album
I can't say how many times that I seen a Dio in concert I'd say around 6 but the best one was when Queensryche opened for him that was a hell of a show I tell ya'!!! It's in my top 5, along with Whitesnake & AC/DC, Ozzy & Saxon, Accept, Def Leppard & Judas Priest and any Iron Maiden concert, seen them about a dozen times.
That's a hell of a line up! Lucky you! ☮️❤️🎸🎸🎸
Respect
@@debilombard1435 I lived in Germany for 30 years 73-03 and I lived within an hour and an half of 3 locals that had concerts Frankfurt was the farthest, than Russelsheim about 45min. and Offenbach about a half hour. In my time over there I seen 83 concerts from Monsters of Rock to just bands touring. And the best part for me was I got to see Maiden 12 times starting in 80 when they played at festival they were the 2nd band to hit the stage out of 7 bands B.O.C., Kansas and foreigner where the headliners and of course Motorhead was there seen them at every big event and the other 2 bands at this show where More and 38 Special, some good memories I tell ya. Rock On!
OMG you have got to be one of the luckiest rockers on earth!!! I'm so envious!!! ☮️❤️🎤🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶
@@debilombard1435 I guess in way I was lucky, I got to see Accept & Def Leppard on there first major tours and they opened for Judas Priest that one's also in my top 5. But one band I got to see that I was a fan of from the 60's was Status Quo they played for 2 1/2 hrs that for me was a great show, I'm 70 by the way and I've been a rocker my whole life started playin' the drums when I was 10 got in my first band when I was 13 and I was the drummer and lead singer, yehaa that was fun. But since 2013 I've been listening to J-Rock & J-Metal, and if you haven't heard any Japanese bands might I suggest Lovebites, Nemophila and Band-Maid. I like to tell people that Rock&Roll didn't die it just moved to Japan. So if you haven't heard of them enjoy.
i got 2 see the last in line tour 2 times. glad i did. saw him on mob rules tour twice and on live evil tour too.Hail the mighty Black Sabbath.its not just music its in your brain ,your soul.your being! R I.P. DIO.
I had the good fortune to see him many times when he was playing in little and large hole in the wall clubs in central New York, with a band called Elf, Dave Feinstein on guitar. It was hard to believe such a fat full sounding voice could come out of a person his size. And then thankfully saw him so many other times when he hit "the Big Time". Only other singer I've heard with such depth of tonality was Cris Cornell. But Dio's presence overshadows any other singers in the genre.
I was bless enough to see his very first solo show as DIO at the Concert Barn in Antioch, CA. It was AWESOME to say the least. Vivian Campbell came out and walked the line signing autographs. I later got Ronnie's and Jimmy Bains as well.
Saw them a week later in Sacramento.
Mind blowing.
aerosmith headlined and sucked.
Tyler horribly drunk.
Best opening band ever....if not the best ever period.
Two for one. Worst headliner ever with best opening band.
Вообще Вивиан гитарист
I was lucky to watch them record this album. My brother helped make the wind sound at the beginning of Invisible! It was made using his spare tire.
@@raidersrobert))))
Jimmy and Ronnie signed my Diver Down lp at a meet n greet at the Record Factory on Sunrise Blvd in Citrus Heights, CA. 🤘🏼
Me too!!! Fell in love with his lyrics. My highschool sweet heart and a group of our friends seen him in concert in 1982. May he rest in peace. He was a very spiritual person.
First heard two tunes with and from some other artist and I still like those tunes and today is the first opportunity to hear the whole album. Ronnie James Dio had a screaming voice like no other but very well rounded and in tune.
One of the great all time metal albums. Ever.
Holy and. Heaven n. the. Best
"Exactly Wes"
mah .. it is not. It is ok hard rock album though
@@pavelignatenkov7391 lmao wtf you said you dumbass this album is chosen as one of the greatest 100 metal albums of all time and its at the 16th row, professional raters and metal musicians gave this album 9,/9,5 star out of 10,this album influenced a lot of rock and metal bands,even considered as one of the albums that influenced nwobhm bands and other bands of genres, this album is considered as one of the influencers of nwobhm,john campbell of rolling stones says this album is one of the best of all time,everything is really melodic dio's voice is very good,he shouts very flawless,very bush drums are playing 4/4 ,6/4 without no mistake they are very congruent with the guitars no over drum fills,nice basic rock/heavy metal beats with few additional notes,no over bass drum playing or over snare chops,guitars and bass are really good no over down picking,extremeness very good powerchords vibratos and slides all of them done melodically and correctly and well,solos are awesome,fast yet no overplaying and no over sweep picking and screeching sound ,also this album is known as the best effort of the band you are very wrong and you think you know all but you dont know shit
@@pavelignatenkov7391 Let's start a lesson, one guitar and 2 guitars...
Ronny James Dio ist für mich der Inbegriff des Heavy Metal, und seine Stimme einmalig und unerreicht . Bis heute!!! Er hat ja auch bei/ mit Black Sabbath, Rainbow sehr erfolgreich mitgewirkt👋👍. Und natürlich mit seiner Gruppe DIO den Metal positiv geprägt/beeinflusst 🖤🖤.
Mit diesem genialen Holy Diver Album schuf er ein absolutes Meisterwerk 👍🎤🎸.
Ich habe Ronny/DIo live bei seiner Killing the Dragon Tour 2004 in Stuttgart(im LKA) und im Brenzpark in Heidenheim (als Vorgruppe von Deep Purple) gesehen/ gehört und wurde natürlich nicht enttäuscht. Es war einfach brilliant!!!! Vor allem er 🎤und sein Gittarist Doug Aldrige 🎸 sorgten für Gänsehaut Pur. 😲👋 Diese 2 Konzerte waren eine der Besten die ich je gesehen/gehört habe.🖤🖤
Leider war da Ronnie schon gesundheitlich angeschlagen und musste deshalb auch diese Tour verkürzen./abbrechen ☹️
Seine Frau hat danach im Metalhammer ein Statement abgegeben und sich bei den Fans entschuldigt! Sie hat dann auch von seiner Krebserkrankung erzählt. 😪 Das hat mich emotional sehr berührt, und ich habe sogar ihr und Ronnie meine Genesungs Wünsche per Brief mitgeteilt. Leider hat er den Kampf verloren und ist ja letztendlich 2010 gestorben. 😪☹️🖤 Wieder ein Metal Gott weniger. ☹️😎🎤 RUHE IN FRIEDEN Ronnie. 🖤🖤🤟🤟 Er bleibt unvergessen!!!!!! 😎🤟👋
One of the great HM albums that sounds as crisp & fresh as the day it came out in nearly 40years ago
Hope Dio is rocking in heaven
Just can't seem to get enough of DIo R.I.P.
Had 2 6by 9s in rear. deck,. pioneer super. tunner. with. booster eq. in dodge Demon.,. that double. bass on. 2. song s1. kicked. Fucking Ass
Ronnie James Dio is and always the best singer of all genres music. The best of the best
O wow that musta took untold amount of thought on your part eh? T.M.P.?😂😂😂😂
Very witty, clever, n cerebral.😅😮
La primera ves que lo escuché tenía 10 años hoy con más de 45 Me sigue pareciendo fantástico....Dio único e irrepetible
Uno de mis grupos favoritos aun recuerdo hace 13 años la primera vez que googleba DIO en internet y mire que acababa de fallecer
Claro! ❤
Dio and Black Sabbath are great bands
Rainbow with Dio was also amazing!
@@plagueknight5042 yes
Dio IN Black Sabbath was also great!!
Check out Rainbow
his voice was made for metal! metal’s most precious and greatest vocalist alongside rob halford\m/
Don't forget to add Bruce Dickinson to that list!
Totally a contender for best ever metal album.
I agree 100%! Rock on!
Takes me back to my heyday of melee and mayhem...🤘 Now at 57, I still reach for my 40oz "caguama" and my favorite smoke pipe and reminisce about the olden golden daze of living in a haze.🤘
I Miss DIO Sooo Much. His Foundation Helped ALOT Of Kids And Teens And He NEVER Got Enough Recognition!!!
14 years today, the earth and cosmos has been without this great man R.J.D. All your fans miss you, we are not the same without you.🤘
WORD.!!!!!!!!❤💕❤️💋🤘🤘❤🖤❤💋💋💋❤💕❤💞❤💞❤
My favorite Dio album! 🤘
Love the slight deviation from 4:4 timing during the solo in invisible at 29:45. Adds that little bit of suspense to the intensity coming up. Song writing Easter eggs.
Yes, nice observation. You'll also like Rush then, they do this a lot on 2112.
One of the best
I saw this man no less then 5 times in live concert. What a showman. Just so good live...even better then these recordings. LOVE YOU RONNIE RIP! My fav album of all time is Live Evil. SO GOOD! Vivian's insane guitar work is incredible on this album.
Dio is the worlds best heavy metal bands in the worlds.
Best in Za Warudo
@@LordComradeAnarchoCapitalus DIO THe WorlD
i agree
I found out about Dio when I was 10 after reading a comic book with a character named after him, I can honestly say he's in my top 5 favorite singers now
So judging by your username that was 2008. Sadly I doubt if you got to see him play. Oh well maybe in the afterlife.
@@markpalavosvrahotes5575 I was born in 2009
@@ihatemirrors1216were you referencing DIO from Jojo's Bizzare Adventure?!? 😳👀
"Don't talk to strangers" es mi canción favorita, me trae recuerdos de Escuela Superior.
For me too. The Best song and performance of Ronnie
Дио. Вечная память.
А я был на концерте Великого Дио в Донецке, это клллллллласс, супер, история и воспоминания!!!!!
Мда , были времена ... теперь в Донецке выступают только отбросы рашистской эстрады .
Свобода скоро вернется туда и отпразднуем развал подлой недоимперии грандиозным рок концертом )))
завидую, чувак)
Завидовать это не хорошшшшшшо, слушайТе музу, и увеличивайте свое познание групп, концертов, вокалистов,, Всем Хеви!
Тоже завидую.
В каком году этот концерт состоялся?
I seen Dio on the Holy Diver tour, the Last In Line tour, and first seen Ronnie w Black Sabbath on the Mob Rules tour.
I have my Holy Diver lp signed by Jimmy Bain and Dio himself.
May they rest in God's peace and love
That snare sound is pure perfection
Remember being 7 years old in 2010 hearing Holy Diver in gta vice city on the psp! Been hooked ever since.
Дио прекрасен даже спустя десятилетия )))
Another example of lighting in a bottle. This album is just down right filthy with the riffage, melody, intense vocals, such a tight band. DIO is the GOAT
