Since Lars Ulrich weighed in on the passing of Dio, we thought it was appororiate that Mulletude did as well. Dio was the undisputed leader of real metal fans. That's truth that's hard as steel. I would guess that if you added up all the times the band and our fans have seen Dio, Sabbath, or Rainbow it would add up to hundreds. He was that influential and always a great performer. And what he lacked in height, he made up for in flawless vocal performances night after night. Better yet, he's from freakin' Cortland, NY.
Dio is our Jim Morrison, our Kurt Cobain, our John Lennon. Except way better and more talented. The last time I checked, John Lennon never wrote about neon knights, riding a tiger, or standing on a silver mountain.
So here's to you Dio - you were a rainbow in the dark.
