ABOUT…
I am Rebecca and I am one heck of a passionate vocal coach/singer/songwriter/impressionist/health/fitness/self- improvement/anything that makes me smile!! I love anything vocal/singing related and geek out on it every day. I want to motivate and inspire others to follow their dreams…corny? Well maybe but it’s true. So what’s motivating me?? I had a huge tumour removed summer 2017 and my ovaries and fallopian tubes. The tumour was the size of a 20 week baby!! However, despite not being able to walk for a couple of weeks, and feeling generally awful…. It has made me create and do what I love! It wasn’t an easy time but I won’t let fear dictate my life. I didn’t think ‘why me’, there are plenty of horrific issues people have to deal with…it’s not always smooth sailing. It’s true when you hear, ‘Life is short’, the crazy thing is, I am glad it happened…I appreciate life even more and practice gratitude everyday…It’s so easy to get caught up with the little things…and I do sometimes, but look at the bigger picture, will it matter in a year or two…?
Also thank you for all your support. It means a lot.

Dio got his diaphragmatic breathing technique from when he had to hold his breath crossing the mystical lagoon to slay the evil wizard
david wales such a nice comment. Love it handsome man ❤️🙌🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
Lol.
oh fuck, this actually made me laugh my ass of... dude had a diaphragm!
This made me lol!!
david wales , i thoght you were going to say Dio developed his technique from signing Doo-Wop
Dio doesn't sing, he just rides a dragon to the concert and then talks about his day.
My favorite story ever is how when he was singing for part of the movie pick of destiny he broke the damn microphone his voice was so powerful
Priceless.....lol
@@colehunt7371 i totally believe it.
@@colehunt7371 wonder if that was where they got the Mic part in master exploder
Absolutely spot on! Dio steps on the stage, picks up the mike..."DRACARYS"!!!
He is no Mercury. Or Sinatra.
He is the one & only...
The legendary....
Ronnie James Dio...
Very much Mercury...theatrical and powerful
And Rebecca is a teacher, if she wants to compare Ian Gillan with a carrot, she can.
Dio on the Mount Rushmore of heavy metal. Change my mind
@@gnd111 Comparing Mercury to Dio is like comparing vegemite to marmite. No contest.
u got that roght
No, you heard a little bit of Ronnie James Dio in Freddie Mercury:)
...good one! 👍
Freddy wishes!!! He's great, but he's No Dio
I think they're the two greatest frontmen of all time. I lean towards Dio because metal.
Yeah!
Well, that's because Dio started his carreer 11 year before Freddy.
You don’t need to compare him to Freddy Mercury or Frank Sinatra to complement him. He stands alone.
He is Ronnie James Dio!
amen to that
truth
I normally put them 3 side by side as my favorite singers
U know brah
She can do it!
5'4 and sang about rainbows
More metal than any of us could ever hope to be. RJD is a titan!
MAGIC
RJD was like a metal leprechaun!
That he was
Blackmore and Dio.........a perfect combo
I'm 6'6" just over 300# and a moshpit monster..... dio looked down at me. Demigod. Period
Ritchie Blackmore said he felt chills down his spine the first time he heard Ronnie James Dio sing, and this was coming from a man who was previously in a band with Ian Gillan as the lead vocalist.
Omg what a bar was set
@@Abhi-ff2cr still not in Rock Hall of Fame
@@justin6641 he deserved better.
@@justin6641 - He's above the Rock HOF by himself, waiting for peopel in the Rock HOF to join his palace
@@justin6641 R&RHOF is a joke. They got Madonna before Rush. Eventually everyone gets there.
After Black Sabbath fired Ozzy, he was so upset when he heard and saw Ronnie he said "they've replaced me with a midget" Ronnie responded to him and said "I'm not a midget ,the correct term is a dwarf" lol
🤣
mrromantimothy
I remember seeing the blizzard and Diary tour from Ozzy and he would have this little person come out between songs and give him water and he’d say, “thank you Ronnie” .. man, that was ruff.
randy ferri 🤣🤣🤣
No, he was an ELF.
@@nonsenseinmyhead9016 They would hang the dwarf at the end of the show as a gag....On one particular night the stunt didn"t go according to plan and the fake noose failed and actually hung the bastard.....he didn't die, but he sure did get a hell of a scare.....
Tiny body, big voice, bigger heart 🤘🏻🤘🏻
RIP Ronnie James Dio
The undisputed God of metal.
Amen
today is the aniversary of his loss May 16, 2010. R.I.P. Ronnie we miss you
So often the living forget the Dead. The great ones, like our Ronnie, forever live in our hearts and memory. Thank you for helping keep him alive to all of us. 🤘👍🤘
Every day.
11 years now 😢 it really makes you appreciate the Heaven and Hell lineup musicianship, those guys in their 60s at Radio City destroyed this version.
Dio had POWER. He'd command the stage like a general. That little man not only had a huge voice, he had the PRESENCE to tell a STORY. RIP to an icon and the father of power metal.
RJD performed with stomach cancer until his death, now THAT’S metal!!! 🙏🏼🤘🏽
And he kicked fucking ass till the end.
Unfortunately he discovered too late
Yea it was crazy i heard he had cancer then like 2 weeks later he died. 😭 RIP RJD
brave man.
Dio was the big voice in a tiny body. He’s deeply missed.
Shawn Matthews he owned every song he sang!
Well put, my Brother! Hard to believe it's already 9 years next month since he passed! RIP, RJD!
Dio Ruled the land!
You should check out “Rainbow in the Dark,” “Holy Diver,” “The Last in Line,” and “Stand Up and Shout.” They’re all great Dio tracks.
For pure range of voice, his song "Stargazer," which he sang with the band Rainbow, has it all. Amazing vocal acrobatics on that song.
Stargazer!!
Stargazer, kill the king, man on silver mountain, the list goes on!!
Straight Through The Heart
I love all of these!
I saw Ronnie James Dio in concert in 2007 when I was 12. I didn't fully appreciate what I was watching but am so thankful that I was able to see him before his passing and still hold those memories.
Freddie and Frank were mere mortals. Ronnie was the Man on The Silver Mountain.
Top of the mountain, catching a rainbow
Great reply
Dio
Λακεδαίμων!!!👍
@@loukasg5702 He made Stargazers out of all of us.
You are listening to the greatest front man in metal honey :)
Not in metal. Just period
Totally agree!!! There is no one better. Dio is the Voice Of Metal, EVER.
Hell yes!
I don't think metal will ever be greater than this.
@Southtown Hick Although I hope he didn't go there, I must admit that was a Great Fucking Comment! Hell Yeah! lml lml lml
The world is full of kings and queens that blind your eyes and steal your dreams. It's heaven and hell.
And the world is a little less interesting without you Mr Dio. RIP my Man!
The man of the silver Mountain. Slayer of the wizard. Killer of the dragon. An entity nothing of this world can duplicate
I'm tearing up watching this. DIO was a legend among us.
I did too man, almost instantly...so much love for this man and his immense talent.
Me too :(
Me too! LOL
Same!
Yep, have tears running down my cheeks right now!
Dio didn't just perform. He told a story with his music. An amazing singer always sings with emotion and that is exactly what he did. There will never be another like him. He was one of a kind.
Word on that, word on that... Forever alive within.
YOUR PRETTY HOT ....AND I WANT TO BELIEVE THAT YOU PICKED DIO BECAUSE HE GOT YOUR ATTENTION.
I AM FROM DETROIT.IVE SEEN 85-95 concerts from ziggie stardust to Jackson brown ...b52's
BUT DIO COULD DO WHAT HE WANTED AT WILL ...HE HAMMED IT A FEW TIMES S ..BUT ALL THREE TIMES I SAW HIM IN CONCERT....HE MOVED YOU AT WILL...DONT TALK TO STRANGERS ...MOB RULES AND SHIT WHATEVER HE WANTED HE DID SOME ZEPPLIN
I know your not disrespecting your grace ,smarts and beauty by disrespecting the auditor of metal excellence self made supreme singer ....:)
Dio was amazing, but his lyrics were nonsense.
I know you love Freddie, but dio is in a class by himself
Dio was a very small man with a GIANT voice!!
the whole album Heaven and Hell is a masterclass in rock/metal vocals
Both Mob Rules and Heaven and Hell are the perfect harmony between one of the greatest singers of all time, and probably the greatest rythym players (Iommi & Butler) in metal history.
Amazing and never duplicated.
No, actually it's a fairly dull album.
BenFoe Pee Musical taste is subjective to each person...your opinion has been noted.
Dehumanizer is one of the most underated albums of all time, seriously, give it a listen from start to finish and tell me it isn't.
Other than this song, I agree with BenFoe Pee...
In this clip Ronnie was 44 and had already been singing professionally for over 25 years. And he was still killing it live in 2009 at age 66, one year before he passed. The dude knew how to take care of his voice, had a long and varied career, and his music will live forever. Thank you, Dio! \m/
He just had golden pipes, dude. He'd been interviewed many times about how he took care of his voice and all he ever did before every show was a beer and half a joint. The guy was just a physical specimen.
@@dneuens He was also a skilled trumpet player, if I'm not mistaken - meaning that he knew how to use his lungs.
Plenty of singers know how to use their lungs and still wind up with vocal degradation. The ones who don't take care of their voices often lose them quicker, and it's not just a matter of knowing how to use ones lungs. Everybody has a different makeup and Dio was just blessed to have golden vocal chords that could totally withstand not only the abuse but also the neglect. He probably did have impeccable technique, but it was purely accidental. Just a natural gift.
I beg to differ. He was not sounding that good live at the end of his career.
I saw him months before he died on the Metal Masters tour. I was blown away by how his voice really lost nothing. Incredible performance, and I was fully expecting much less. Halford on the other hand wasn't the same, so I could only appreciate him for sheer nostalgia.
Even "Frank Sinatra of Rock" is an understatement for Ronnie James Dio.
I always LOVE this lady's reviews. What I take for granted she inspects and pulls apart and explains WHY the voices from my youth were so powerful and magnificent... Her amazement kind of takes me back in a charming way.... Thank you Rebecca. :) FYI I didn't give a sh*t how/why RJD could perform the way that he did I just enjoyed it. ;)
Why did Ronnie James Dio have to die?
Because God wanted his voice back.
Dio is literally God. I mean, that's his name after all.
NICE
In Italian Dio means God
I guess god forgot that Diego Valdez is still around.
ugh so sad
R.I.P. Ronnie James Dio, father of metal!
Grandfather..he was singing for 6 decades! ; p
Excuse me?
Tony Iommi and Geezer Butler are the fathers of metal, but Ronnie is a GOD of a singer!
Agreed the Grand Godfather of Metal.
Long live Dio, Dickinson, Halford and Tate.
Not to take anything away from Dio because he is absolute master class! But Black Sabbath with Ozzy as the lead singer is considered the first heavy metal band
Dio....an absolute metal legend. Solo, with Black Sabbath....doesn't matter...distinct and legendary.
I spent much of this video looking for my 16 year old self. I was at this show (Philly) somewhere about 20 rows back. Great show and even better reaction video. Thanks for the smile and bringing back fond memories....
I met him back stage once and asked him to sign my t-shirt with his favorite verse. He wrote the first letter of each word to the verse. It was late and I was still a bit excited by the entire experience. Once I figured out what he wrote: The world is full of kings and queens, who blind your eyes and steal your dreams, it's Heaven and Hell.
Quite the quote to keep in mind...
You're so lucky. I only 'discovered' him a few years ago. Was crushed to find he was long gone. I would give anything to see him
Lucky.
So did he write
T W I F O K A Q W B Y E A S Y D I H A H
If so, I’d probably rather have that than the full lyric. He gave you something he was relying on you to figure out, kinda like a riddle or puzzle, and you did! You probably felt so good after that.
What’s better? The great Dio giving you a little puzzle to decipher or him writing a quote? I’d take the former!
Lucky you!
Dio was well known for never training his voice and always giving his fans his time, he said "For every fan they will remember meeting me for the rest of there lives" but he was extremely humble about it which is why he always made sure to sign every autograph and talk to every fan that was waiting to meet him after the shows. #RIP🤘DIO
Love him
Performers that remember their fans are the greatest.
I met him backstage in the 80's and his words are true "For every fan they will remember meeting me for the rest of there lives." I certainly will,he was so gracious and posed for pictures and signed autographs for me. In fact his entire band did,Vivian Campbell,Jimmi Baine,Vinnie Appice,Claude Schnell,and even Kimo his bodyguard." I will remember him and that night for the rest of my life." RIP Ronnie Janes Dio.
purplemoonglow 🤘Amazing man, thanks for sharing your story, that's awesome. I never had the honor of meeting him. Love him all the same though. Must have been one hell of a show, i can only imagine. Ty brah really, that's so cool,🤘
That's metal. Eddie Trunk has talked about how common it was to see Ronnie holding the doors open for strangers going in and out of hotels, etc. on the road. He was a warm, gracious and LOVED man.
Dio never sang this song the same way twice in concert. It made it fun and interesting for him and the audience. Some versions of this are 12 minutes long with tons of audience participation.
Truly one of the nicest person you could’ve met. I have the honor of calling this man a friend. He is truly missed. RIP, My friend. 😢
His father used to make him practice the trumpet every day for hours on end when he was a child. This is the reason the great man gave himself for his outstanding breath control for his singing
I've seen the interviews where Ronnie mentioned this. I'm a trumpeter 🎺 What Ronnie said about trumpet teaching him breath control makes total sense. Breath control is essential to good brass playing 🎺
DIO NEVER acted, he believed in ever lyric and every note. We miss him dearly!
"Acting" is a figure of speech. She meant that he was performatic and expressed his emotions with his body language.
Eargasmic - best description I've ever heard of Ronnie's amazing voice!
I'm so in love with your reactions and so in love with your subtle comedic readings of these songs. I must admit that I have to often go back and listen to your accent rendering of Sinead.
He has the most powerful voice to ever come out of a 5' 4" frame.
He is Ronnie James Dio. You don’t need to compare him to anyone. He is the father of Heavy Metal.
Ronnie James Dio is all that needs to be said
And you miss are beauty full
No he's not.
No his a metal God
The Godfather of Heavy Metal is Ozzy Osbourne. And The Metal God is Rob Halford. Search it in Google.
Stunning!!
Totally Fascinated By Not Only Your Take On The Voices That You Are Reacting To, But, Lost In Your Expressions And Responses To What You Are Hearing And Singing!! You're A Doll, Breathtakingly Beautiful... Ugh Just Too Much!!!
Just Saying
Have A Great Day!!
Glad I could see him live at least once. May he rest in piece, whether in heaven or hell, he is one of the best vocalist in music history.
...me to! 🤘
5 foot tall with a 100 foot voice. RIP Ronnie James Dio.
@Victor R. Idiot
Bruce Dickinson, RJD, and Rob Halford , The voices of pure Metal
Add Eric Adams of Manowar, and the list is complete... :)
Don't forget Biff Byford
The list is not complete without Michael Kiske, Graham Bonnet and John Bush \m/ \m/
David Scott 🤘🏽😎🤘🏽
Amen brother
His voice gives me chills that I can feel with my soul.
I was lucky enough that I got to see Dio when I was in my late teens. Great concert and an even better performer. RIP
We all knew you'd love Dio .
You gotta do some Rob Halford now.
Victim of Changes - Live at US festival
No, Dreamer Deceiver or Run of the Mill (although I think there is no live version of it)
Dreamer Deceiver would be a good one too. Or the Sentinel
Yes!!! The US Festival or the 1983 Live version from Tennessee on the Screaming For Vengeance tour.
The unleashed in the east version!
Ulises Hernandez I am partial to the Unleashed in the East version.
The world is full of kings and queens that blind your eyes and steal your dreams...it's heaven and hell. We miss you Ronnie.
PS, You knew when a 5'4" guy shows up covered in spandex, leather and metal studs some shit is about to go down.
That's why his first band was called ELF!
We do miss Dio.
@@chethammer: Actually it was The Vegas Kings back in 1957.
the man is really missed. one of THE best voices in metal. glad i got to see him once before he died.
Best voice metal ever !! And great reaction as always!!
I cannot believe you said "the Frank Sinatra of rock" as your own spontaneous observation! He has been called exactly that countless times! HA! Uncanny. Love ya
Should listen to his own solo band DIO - "Holy Diver"
Yes, this is the band. DIO. Craig Goldy (1 of my old music trachers) is slaying it on guitar.
The line up changed throughout the years. This is the 2nd or 3rd incarnation of his band. Vivian Cambel played guitar before Craig did. Craig was in and out a few times. He was playing with Ronnie before and when he passed away.
RIP Ronnie. One of the most honest and powerful voices hard rock/ metal has ever seen.
My first concert was Dio Sacred Heart. The video of that show was recorded at the Spectrum in Philadelphia. I was there in the nosebleeds.
Also "As Long as it's not about love"
..but here is so much more than holy diver my friend!
Last in Line is WAY better. So is Dream Evil
The most powerful voice from the smallest man in rock who was a giant among his peers
You are gorgeous, and, always brings a tear to my eye, when I see how you love these singers, such as RJD! He was an incredible musician!!
I've said this for a while...
Dio pronounces EVERY SINGLE LETTER of each word he sings
'im interested in what he can do with his vioce"
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
thats ronny james dio babe
get ready
Well, if she's not familiar with his awesomeness, it's a valid question from her.
Best Rock Singer ever lived, no doubt about it. Rest in Piece Ronnie
OMG...I love your vocal comments!!! We would have such a great time together picking apart so many songs...I feel like you're here with me rockin!!!...thanx for the good times!!!
The guy was 5'2 with that voice. Crazy
He was listed at 5'4. But certainly in that range. I actually met Dio after a show in SF in the late 90's. I'm 5'7 and he did seem a few inches shorter than me.
It's well established physical size has nothing to do with vocals. Let's not pretend this is some surprise or rare thing.
Ankh-ef-en-Khonsu this is true, but on the flip side of that, people associate bigger with more power in everything. That includes singing. I’m 5’2” I’ve been professionally trained to sing and my range and power is better than people who are bigger and taller than me.
@@ankh-ef-en-khonsu3274 no but, it's suprising to have such a voice without any training.
On the contrary, size or the lack of it in his case and many other such as Dickinson can have a positive effect on vocal power or "resonance". I don't remember what exactly the reasoning was(has something to do with airflow) but with Dio and Dickinson kind of being one of the most powerful singers if not the most(in rock) it makes sense. Of course there's many contradictions with numerous singers being tall yet extremely powerful, from metal to other genres.
What I really like about Rebecca is that she appreciates all singing for what it is from Billie Eilish to Ronnie James Dio and shows no overt bias toward one genre or another.
Yeah, but she screwed this one up by not letting the rest of the song play out. What's up with that???
@@josephbarr1659 the post solo vocals are the best
That's why I love these react videos! Showing metal to the non metal people, let them see the way!!!
She came real hard when she played Type O though.
just brilliant, so glad you liked his voice! RIP RJD!
Rebecca: i give him an A
Dio: seriously?
A+
There is no comparison, no grading scale for him
Dio, yes! Try "Don't talk to strangers" live version
I've been trying to find a good video and audio recording of Dio and it's not been easy, but I agree: Dio - Don't Talk To Strangers (Live At The Spectrum 1986) is very good video quality for a concert of that time and he sings it closer to the album version, unlike this version of Heaven and Hell. So, I'd second that Rebecca, if you get the time.
@@markparker5585 Great performance but Holland 1983 has way better vocals. Something changed with Dio from 1986 onwards
@@EpicZadrani A little less clean later, but maybe that's just 30 years of singing and touring eventually taking its toll. He was in his mid 40s by then and seemed to always gave it his all. I would loved to have a good filmed version (with good audio) of Stargazer with Rainbow, but good footage from back then seems very rare.
@@markparker5585 definitely touring took a toll. I refered to like very small changes. Loved his voice till the end. For a stargazer show check out burbank one and i think there are two good recordings from england. Just for the rainbow concerts definitely check out early 1978 stuff, primarily osaka and niigata concerts
@@EpicZadrani Just watched the 1983 Holland version, yep, much better, really good performance. Thanks.
My 3 favorite metal singers of all time - Ronnie James Dio, Rob Halford, and Bruce Dickinson.
Not too shabby Jason ! You know your shit my brother.
Don't forget King Diamond, Geoff Tate, Klaus Meine, & Michael Kiske from Helloween.
80's and early 90's Hetfield was a vocal beast too (Just not technically)
@@barknozdemir3310 What are you talking about? His vocals were perfect for Metallica.
No Michael Kiske? The father of Power Metal?
I like watching your reactions because you actually get it. You notice all the dynamics, and you seem to feel the heartbeat of the song and bands vision. Your able to have an open mind and i think your reactions are cool. pretty easy on the eyes too.
I could literally watch your reaction to music all day
This made me cry for two reasons.
I miss his voice. And I miss my friend who always stayed and took the time to talked with me even if others tried to drag him away.
We first met in 92' when I was 6 .
“He’s like a gymnast”
Me: who’s Jim Nast?
He was the singer for Black Sabbath IIRC ;)
I hope you have recovered! You’re the best!
Love it when you smile at the screen.
My cousin brought me to a Dio concert in 1984. I knew absolutely nothing about him before hand. His voice blew my mind. The second song was "Don't Talk to Strangers" - I was stunned.
same i saw him in 84 in Detroit he was amazing .
Comentario maravilloso
Ronnie James Dio was two feet tall and had more power than any man will ever have. Ronnie James Dio was Yoda.
Heaven and hell, it is.
Never thought about it that way but it makes total sense. 2 apples tall, 900 years old, limitless power. A bit scruffy but lovable. Yoda indeed is he
😂😂😂
I adore all of your reactions to 80s' metal, I consider them priceless. :) Dio was one of a kind, the world is a darker place without his voice. It is really nice to see a younger woman, trained in the arts and without prior knowledge of these folks/this genre to show as much respect and recognition of their talents. :) Thank you suga, please keep your reactions coming.
Yeah, you've got my subscription ;) I am waiting for more from Dio reactions :)
Ronnie originally wrote and performed this with Sabbath. Fun fact, he's widely credited with originating the devil horns gesture in metal. Apparently it comes from his grandmother and is an old traditional gesture to ward off the evil eye, or conversely to give someone the evil eye, presumably it depends on your mood, lol. Another great Dio performance you might want to check out is Rainbow - Kill the King Live in Munich 1977.
In an interview, he said he came up with it because he saw Ozzy connected with the Black Sabbath fans with peace sign, but he wanted something different. He remembered his aunt used to give that sign to ward the devil, and decided to use it.
Actually the guys and girl from Coven did it first but Dio definitely made it popular
The devil horns are a silly thing it's the singing talent that's special
@@allensaunders449 It may be a silly thing compared to his singing and the music, but it is also huge since it has pretty much become the universal metal sign.
I'm so glad you got to Dio. In my opinion, Ronnie James Dio is the best voice metal has ever heard. And like you said, it's not just the voice, but the whole performer. He knew exactly how to tell the story, and involve his audience in it. Such a great performer! He is missed!
You are in fact a pro and I enjoy your empathy emotions are like waves and you are a rider and you wear it so eloquently thank you for your perspective
Your reaction to this is just as amazing to watch as this performance!
6 months before he died of stomach cancer he pulled a full Black Sabbath ( Heaven and Hell ) album out, where he sang like he never was ill... The Album is The Devil You Know, absolutely a one to listen..
I miss the early 80's some many great performers. It was a great time to be a teenager. Dio, Ozzy, Priest, Maiden and, many more.
Music is SO full of cunts these days, sadly enough... Mötley!!!
Dude.They all in our hearts.worry not . We now have riverside ,soen ,threshold,amorphis. Long live ,rock and roll🤘
Absolutely! I was lucky enough to spend all of the 80s on Oahu where all of the great rock bands of the time came through on their tour going from the west coast on their way to Japan. As a teenager (born in 1970) it was absolute heaven. Dio. Dokken, Maiden, Rush, The Police, Priest, Deep Purple, Ozzy, Yngwie, Metallica, Whitesnake, Van Halen, Megadeth, Ratt, it was an amazing time!
It doesn't matter how many times I can watch the same Dio vids. I'm blown away by his vocals like it's the first time I've ever heard him.
Thank you for doing what you are doing. Music, emotion, reaction...I'm with you.
DIO IS A GOD!!!!
His surname in italian says it all, Dio means God indeed.
Please listen to stargazer by rainbow, one of Ronnie's finest vocal performances
An excellent recommendation. Stargazer is a great showpiece for Dio as well as Blackmore and the rest of Rainbow.
Stargazer es tan grande como heaven and hell. Máster piece
One of my favorite songs ever
Agreed
I'd say The Gates of Babylon is a great song to have a piece of Ronny's voice
The comments are so good in this video. So damn good. We loved him.
5' 3" of vocal magnificence. The man is THE best Hard Rock/Metal vocalist EVER!!
🤘🔥
The best heavy metal singer ever. Period. Classy, soulful, heartful, technical, flawless... Superb
I agree, my fave metal vocalist ever. Second for me is Halford...
There are a couple of Dio songs that many people don't know about. Kerry Livgren the guitarist for Kansas put out a Christian solo album called "Seeds of Change" and Ronnie sang on two songs like only Ronnie can.
AGREED
I agree he is the Godfather of metal....but David Coverdale is a monster too
not even an opinion, just plain FACT!
Rebecca.
You need to hear Ronnie do this with Black Sabbath.
It's a little bit different.
I love DIO but he did this with Black Sabbath first.
There is a live version with Black Sabbath.
Worth checking out and reacting to.
And he was a small-statured person but a huge voice for one so small.
And he loved his fans.
He always put on a great show and connected with his audience.
I got to meet him once.
Saw him in concert several times.
But met him in person once.
Fascinating man.
Had a nice chat with him.
And you missed the last half of the song.
It changes tempo and picks up speed.
And ends on an up note.
Sort of.
Very dramatic end which you missed completely.
You missed all of that.
Like you literally missed half the song...the best half.
Some of the best lyrics in the song come at the end of the song.
How could you miss all of that?
"They say that life's
A carousel
Spinning fast you
Better ride it well
The world is full
Of kings and queens
Who blind your eyes
And steal your dreams
It's Heaven and Hell.
And they tell you
Black is really white
The moon is just
The sun at night
And when you walk
In golden halls
You get to keep
The gold that falls
It's Heaven and Hell.
Fool fool
You got to bleed
For the dancer
Fool fool
Look for the answer."
You literally missed ALL OF THAT.
Not mad, just that you missed some of Ronnie's best vocals in that song.
Now.
Having said all that?
Want to have your mind really blown by what an amazing singer Ronnie was?
Find Rainbow's Long Live Rock and Roll album.
It's here on TH-cam.
Actually, every song on that album kicks serious ass but there is one I really think you need to hear.
It's a soft, quiet, gentle, sad ballad with Ronnie singing, Ritchie Blackmore playing this gorgeous, beautiful guitar, and this wood flute or recorder just weaving in and out that gives the song this haunting, ethereal beauty.
The song is called "Rainbow Eyes" and you might want tissues, it is so heartbreakingly sad and beautiful.
I love it.
Unlike anything he had done before or since.
And Ronnie absolutely sang his heart out.
180° opposite of this.
And for a man who claimed he never wrote a love song?
If "Rainbow Eyes" is NOT a love song?
I don't know what is.
Amazing.
Check it out.
Thank me later.☺
Stargazer would be the one to react to tbh

Becks...Thant’s goddam Dio. You are beautiful and dapper and dandy, but that man is the very lion that roared metal into life. His grain, temper, and register are always on display..the man was a walking theater. Always gracious to his enormous fan base, his legendary appeal is completely earned. So few men or ladies of majesty have graced the stage and your comparison to Freddy Mercury was spot on.
Thanks for the insights into RJD and his voice. Already knew he was incredible but its great to hear somebody who knows voices and singing techniques tell us about him. He had a deep connection to his fans. He would go out of his way for them. Thanks again!
Hello Rebecca: Ronnie James Dio was one of the greatest Rock singers of our time. RIP, Ronnie! With massive influence on many others, today. One "funny?" thing about him: I've, in decades, never found anyone to speak bad about the personality he was. Ever.
(Shines a light, doesen't it?) One thing I'd like you to react on would be "Stargazer", when he was singing with Rainbow.
Another thing, and this is for you: Roger Glover, the bassist of Deep Purple, made a musical for children in the early 7ties: "The butterfly ball and grasshoppers feast". And RJD sings there as the frog: "Love is all". I think this will be, in contrast to above song, really warm your heart:

You must be pretty new into rock, for not knowing him. But that's O.K. Maybe I can hit you with more surprises. It would be my pleasure.
Greetings from the far north of Germany!
Thanks yeah I have known of Black sabbeth for years. Should have said but the video only said Dio . Thanks for the list
@@rva You're welcome! And by now, comments keep flying in. I love that fact. He was one of the greatest.
The song is one that he wrote while in Black Sabbath, however this performance was a few years later with his solo band, simply named “Dio”.
I absolutely agree that you should react to Rainbow - “Stargazer”. Terrific 70s proto-power metal.
Dio is one of the most loved personalities in the world of metal.
Ronnie was our heart. I miss him too, horribly.
Sure there were people who didnt like him, heard of Sharon Ozbourne? =) But who cares, no one can be loved by everyone. Ronnie influenced so many singers and musicians and his legacy will live forever.
She's thinking, damn modern artists are not like this anymore.
Rip dio metal legend
Profile pic checks out
I have enjoyed Dio's "eargasms" since the late '70s and watching you get yours was a fresh experience. TY 🤘🤙 R&R Forever Friend
O my God, I almost cried hearing his voice again thank you for that I love his voice so much!
If you want the full spectrum of Dio, listen to “falling off the edge of the world”
He does everything.
I agree!
Or ALL THE FOOL'S SAILD AWAY! Loved that song!
I have ALWAYS said that Falling off the Edge of the World is THE MOST UNDERRATED heavy metal song of all time.
Thanks for validating me
Also, how can Sabbath do albums like Mob Rules and Heaven and Hell, and then something so disappointing as Born Again, and all of their albums after that.
Kenneth Kelly no problem.
I always love when voice coaches get surprized by heavy metal or hard rock singers, it's like they think none of them have a voice or can even sing. Dio Was A God among Men. R.I.P. Ronnie.
Well done Rebecca, I think you got it all from this legend, you understood the man as well...thank you !
Brought a tear to my eye, thank you for listening to Ronnie, and getting him.
My Heavy metal coach Rebecca!!!!!
I wanna see Judas Priest
We are having a heavy metal journey here and we are in for a ride with the Maiden bois and the Heavy Metal God himself DIO
Edit: I hope Coach Rebecca grants our request, All J.Priest songs are awesome, these guys under me are suggesting very good stuff!! keep em coming!
I don't think Painkiller is a good representation of Halford's capabilities, and frankly it's far from the upper echalon of their catalog.
Better choices would be:
Victim Of Changes (Unleashed in the East version)
Dreamer Deceiver
Freeweel Burning
The Sentinel
@@LionMetalMusic-videochannel Dude, is that the only Priest song you've heard?? Painkiller is one-dimensional, it lacks depth and it was recorded AFTER his prime.
@@xRuralJuroRx good point 👍
Let me rephrase that, I don't think Painkiller is a good way to start your Judas Priest journey, but later down the line it's ok I guess.
Painkiller is sick ok but sentinel or halls of Valhalla could be better
