Comments by "Kasumi Rina" (@KasumiRINA) on "Top 10 Ronnie James Dio Songs" video.

  1. It's so nice that we got the official music video for it released after all these years!.. Fun fact, Fever Dreams from Magica is spiritual successor and references it: "Yield unto temptation and be ruler of the world But it seems that I have heard that song before..." That song is Gates of Babylon, of course. "Move closer to me I can make you anyone..."

  2. I raise you 16th Century Greensleeves! And Long Live Rock & Roll, from Rainbow... but later Dio albums only got better. Magica is my absolute fav.

  3. I like Queen and Freddie but he was never anywhere near same level as Dio, especially live. He had throat issues and couldn't sing well most of the time. If you want vocalists who had range and feel around Mercury but were better live, look for Faith No More's Mike Patton or even Axl Rose. For lower register, Roy Khan is the king! But Ronnie James Dio was absolutely special and his influence in Metal could only be rivaled by Rob Halford.

  4. They ended the video with it.

  5. I know It exists, it was one of the songs in that Munich concert that was widely-publicized and even released in HD. But Dio live versions are epic so why not?

  6. My absolute favourite is 16th Century Greensleeves by Rainbow. Then Gates of Babylon and Long Live Rock'N Roll are also staples... Some other underrated favs, I like some closing tracks: Bring Down the Rain, This Is Your Life, Last in Line has amazing closers for both sides, Egypt (The Chains Are On) and One Night in the City, apart from that, Shivers from Master of the Moon and title track from Killing the Dragon... and the whole Magica album... and from The Dio Years compilation: Ear in the Wall, one of three bonus tracks. His return to Sabbath's Dehumanizer is extremely good, After All (The Dead) and Computer God are unsung classics.
