- In this episode, we have one of the greatest heavy metal vocalists of all time, Ronnie James Dio.
In the interview, Dio talks about filling Ozzy Osbourne’s shoes in Black Sabbath, a mystical experience that almost killed his wife, his thoughts on Ritchie Blackmore’s playing, and his metal all-star project Hear ‘n Aid.

Ronnie was one of the coolest guys you could ever hope to meet. And I did at a record signing in Valley Stream, NY while he and the band were promoting the Magica album. The person you hear in the interviews is exactly the same person you meet in person. Personable, humble and really down-to-earth, talking to Ronnie was like talking to my next door neighbor. Had to pinch myself that I was talking to the greatest vocalist in the history of hard rock/heavy metal ever. One of the all-time great memories of my life.
It's crazy how someone so talented as Dio would also be humble, while other "stars" are so full of themselves etc. Thanks for sharing your story! Very cool! 🤘🤘
Slipped Disc?
@@benedictdonald4338 Yes.
@@anthonyspina5723 awesome. I miss that place.
@@benedictdonald4338 Me too. Mike the owner was a really cool guy.
"THE" Greatest metal singer of ALL TIME!
Can't disagree there
it was very cool to interview Ronnie back in 1985. He seemed like such a great guy. I took my teenage nephew backstage to meet him after the show.
Ah, so you did get to go back and meet him. So cool!!
The sheer amount of shade dropped in this is glorious.
Ronnie was able to be scathing and critical, but still managed to be respectful. He still acknowledges Blackmore's talent, he's a bit condescending about Ozzy but acknowledged his role and importance in Sabbath. He was let down by the inner band politics and management issues he faced while in Sabbath. He had a tendency to want to have his way, but always for the good of the band and the music they were making.
You both nailed it. 🤘🍻
This particular time was reportedly quite a bad time for Ronnie, his marriage was ending or over, they had had a very difficult time making Sacred Heart according to Vivian it was not a happy time, and Vivian was starting to demand the things he'd been promised and I think Ronnie got caught between Viv and Wendy over the issue, so it looked like he would be bringing in a new guitarist in the middle of a huge tour which would be very stressful as well( of course he knew Craig well already and for the record Goldy is one of my favorite guitarists as well). All of that accounts for Ronnie's more negative than normal demeanor here. I saw this tour about three weeks after this interview in Ogden, UT (still with Vivian), and Yngwie opening, it was an incredible night that I will never forget!!!
You think the shade is bad in this one, I'm not sure which tour it was from, but the interviewer was on the tour bus and showing him all his past records, he proceeded to throw a solid 20-30min of mostly shade with each next record. Mostly at Ozzy and Richie
@@kalebthornsberry870 oh yeah, I’ve seen that a couple times. That one’s an absolute doozy.
Thank you very much for this. What a professional Ronnie was… No nonsense.
Sorely missed and it is wonderful to reconnect with him in this interview.
What a man what a genius what a legend
Brutally frank and honest! You gotta love this guy.
i think im more in love with dio after this interview, this guy just know his value more than anyone ever
What an insider tape. I loved that conversation, gonna listen to it again.
🌹🌹 RIP🌿🌹RONALD PADAVONA🌺🌿AKA : RONNIE🌹JAMES🌹DIO... THE GREATEST SINGER I EVER HEARD !🌺🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Well said!! 🤘🤘🤘
Hell yea!!!!
@@salmaccarrone2401 🏆🏆🏆RONNIE JAMES DIO !!!!!! ABSOLUTELY !!!!!!!!!!!!!
ALBUM : MASTER OF THE MOON 👍👍 KICKS A$$ !!!!!!!!!!
Can you imagine the size of his voice if he was 6 feet tall? For such a softspoken guy he was one of the greatest belters of all time.
Dio is one of my personal top 3 singers of all time but to be fair, Ozzy was a huge part of Sabbath and helped make them what they became. You cannot replace him, all you can do is just what Dio did - be yourself. As great of a singer as Dio was, when he sang the Ozzy era Sabbath songs, I did not fit. That's my observation.
Many channels drag along peripheral info, this channel goes to the bone with unique, exclusive, never before seen or heard material.
congrats
Right on! More coming!
Great singer. I saw him with his band on The Last in Line tour, in 1984. I was 18, lol!
Me too! Jesus we are old..haha
@@TheTapesArchive Lol!
Same here dude and queensryche supported them
Rainbow, Heaven and Hell, Mob Rules, Holly Diver. Good as it gets.
Holly Diver, their rare X-mas album?
@@johndeaux3703 lol
Thanks for sharing!
Brilliant interview!!
thanks Darren!
Great interview..
This is awesome!
Saw Dio in Baltimore civic center in 1985. Sold out crowd.
OZZY, vocals to performance, OZZY does rule. Ronnie James Dios' vocals and music is some of my personal favorites, these musicians all have somewhat an inner twined circle! Dios the king of rock n roll
Great interview. He was always a classy person.
Such a rich personality. I like the notes of arrogance in this humble guy. You need to have them in this industry especially being located so high up..
Saw Dio and his laser shooting dragon and giant spider at Market Square Arena on the Last In Line tour.
😂 Were you high? Dean the Dragon was for 1985 Sacred Heart tour and the Spider was for the Dream evil tour in 1987 with Craig Goldy, therefore, you did not see either of them in the Last in line tour. 🙄
✔️ Its nice to hear interviews performed by music journalists who dont make 50%++ of the interview about their own personal experiences. For instance, if i wanted to listen to an interview _'ostensibly'_ about a famous musician, where the majority of it consists of the interviewer talking about _HIS_ own personal life experiences, then I'd listen to Eddie Trunk....
After listening to Eddie Trunk interviewing dozens of musicians, ive learned everything i could possibly learn about Eddie Trunk(and very little about the actual musicians)!😁
Preach on! How did he became the voice of Metal? I don't get it at all. 🤘
I saw this tour. November 5, 1985. Dio and Dokken. At the Arena in Rutherford, NJ
Very well read, you can tell
RJD is the fn shit I seen him twice 83 holy diver tour and 06 heaven and hell Fresno California I’ve loved his music my whole life to find out now he was such a beautiful humble man RIP man on the silver🏔️
Have you see the new doc on him? Pretty good!
Thanks for sharing this did you enjoy dreamer's never die documentary ?🤔 i did i walked away learning some thing's I never know at RJD.
I saw this tour at the long gone Salt Palace Accord Arena before Vivian left the band. I have pictures of it from a smuggled camera. Back in the day you couldn't film bands. No such thing as cell phones.
Very interesting. Never heard him say a nice thing about Ozzy. It seems if the two had ever gotten together in a room just hanging out I would like to think they would have had a laugh and got on well.
On the Diary tour, Ozzy had that dwarf he named 'Ronnie' that he would hang, as a jab at RJD.
Dio loved him some basketball. At 5'-?", his chances of singing in Black Sabbath were far greater than getting drafted by the Knicks or L.A. Lakers
☮️
Hooouli Daaaaiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiva!
lmao..I could hear the song in my head as I read your comment. 🤘🤘
🤘🏻🎸💃🎆
bot
"Ozzy happens to be a friend"...wonder if the mudslinging for years was an act then?
I think he said it with a bit of sarcasm, He is clearly destroying ozzy before calling him a friend and don't get me wrong, ozzy deserves it after all the crap he said and did like the Dwarf on stage To mock Dio and Dio calling him a clown. I don't think back in the days that was an act.
I wonder what Ronnie would think of the state of the world today.
Something about a rainbow and a dragon? 😂
Hope he repented n found Jesus before he drew his last breath or we know where he ends up. 🔥
✝️>>>🤘😈
I have a gut feeling he did.🙏
Great singer but greedy
OK Viv.
Greedy was Viv who thought he deserved to get the same amount of money than his boss, the man who put him in front of thousands of fans every night! Viv was a Brat.
He's a fast talker, I might have to slow the video up to take it all in.
At least you can understand what he is talking about, with ozzy nobody can understand shit he talks 🤣
@@TheTruthbetold-uu7qu It's the Brummie accent, non-Brits have a hard time understanding them. 😆
