If anyone wants to judge Me for what I say or post regarding RJD, so be it. All I have to say is that if anyone is a fan of Rock and Roll and (even Heavy Metal), then, like it or not, Ronnie James DIO is the Best Heavy Metal Singer Ever.

A public memorial for legendary heavy metal singer Ronnie James Dio will be held on the fifth anniversary of his death at his gravesite at Forest Lawn - Hollywood Hills cemetery in Los Angeles. His wife and manager Wendy Dio tells the "Maximum Threshold" radio show: "Next year, the 16th of May will be five years [since] Ronnie's passing, so we are inviting all the fans to come from all over the world. We're gonna do a big public memorial up at Forest lawn in the Hollywood Hills. And we'll have bands playing. It will be a celebration of Ronnie's life. And the night before, we're gonna do celebrity bowling. And we're gonna do a 'ride for Ronnie' with motorcycles on the Sunday, which is on the 17th, and ending up with a barbecue in the park."

RJD was not only a great singer but he was without doubt one of the kindest, sweetest human beings I ever had the pleasure to meet. I was lucky enough to make his acquaintance in 1984 during the Last in Line tour in July. The concert was great, the stage show beyond compare, then to meeting him the next day completely by accident. Just gotta say this, we talked about Italian food and Chicago's Little Italy for a good 45 min. RJD may have been one of the best singers, but in the end he was first and foremost a son of Italy. The man knew his food.

Thanks for resurrecting this topic (for however brief it may be). I am still listening Rush at the moment (from all eras) to gear myself up for the concert in Dallas on Monday.

However, the moment I saw this, I will admit that I instantly got a sad feeling about Ronnie and my eyes started to well up. I am the creator of this topic and still, "I Really Miss Ronnie James Dio"... after 5 years and for all the years for the rest of my life.

Ronnie James Dio was and will always be remembered as a true and passionate Human Being and one of, if not, the Greatest Singers of All-Time. I Love You Ronnie.

There are so many great singers out there, our Robert being one of course, but I think what made Ronnie stand out apart from the brilliant albums that we all know well was his incredibly rich & varied history. If you're getting older now like me you will begin to appreciate the material he did in those early days the more you listen to it. How he was never a star earlier in his career is beyond me - what an amazing voice he had in the 60's!! I was sorry to hear that he was a little embarrassed by the early stuff - I think it shows what wonderful talent he had. I had the good fortune to meet him once in Sydney on the H&H tour. Geezer & Tony just gave us waiting fans a cursory wave as they left the stadium but Ronnie trudged the 70 metres across to the fence to see us where he chatted, shook hands & signed stuff for all there - a wonderful gesture much appreciated. Miss you Ronnie.

I cannot believe that it is going on almost 6 fucking years that Mr. Ronnie James Dio left this earth. 

I can remember the day that I heard that Ronnie James finally succumbed to his illness.  I cried and cried my eyes out.  I am almost at that point again, six years later.  I will say that I was fortunate to see RJD only once in my life back in the 1990's that I can't even remember the actual date but I remember the experience.  It was in a small club across the river known as the Mississippi, in Illinois.  I swear to Dio that I got to shake his hand and he looked right at me and nodded.  I said to him, "You Rock". 

The very next song he sang was "We Rock".

That was awesome.  Thanks for posting it.  I can't believe it has been over 6 years since Ronnie James Dio left this world.  I still really do miss him.
