This is one of the coolest music experiences I've ever had. I have been a huge fan since Holy diver dropped my Jr year in HS. We saw Last in line in 2018 and got to go the sound check where I filmed this. It was LOUD!!!

Did you guys see this interview? It should start at the Dio part, but the whole interview is good.

Common denominator in all situations where people had major friction with Dio, especially after splitting:

Ronnie James Dio.

It was more $. He was not paying the band as they should have been mainly because he had finally starting making real dough by the 2nd album.

In Wendy's book she recounted that while we think he was rich after Rainbow they were living week to week still.
She wrote 'when Ronnie returned from the sabbath rehearsal they wrote a tune called children of the sea, Ronnie tells her,..I don't know if I like their music. She says, you'd better because we only have $700 in our checking account!!

None of Dio's stuff after Vivian was at the same par. Yeah it was decent, but the first three were gold! I wish they could have worked it out.

3?? Nay 2, hungry was weak. This exact time in the 80's was a shift from the early 80's raw classic metal era to a more commercial glam based poo metal. This made it a ripe time for Metallica to usher in thrash metal which we got way into right out of high school.
