"The world is full of kings and queens who blind your eyes and steal your dreams" has always been one of my favorite lyrics of all time.
Many people including myself, consider this album to be the best old school metal album ever. Every song on this album is so good!
its the purest example of metal music for me.
Definitely way up there on the list. A monster of an album
Amen
It's definitely top 2 or 3 for me. For me Sad Wings of Destiny from Judas Priest is a strong contender.
I bought this album when it first came out, came home and turned my speakers way up, then "Neon Knights" came on to start the album and 'bout blew my speaker out and I was running across the room to turn it down, funny as hell day.
Geezer Butler just low key groovin his ass off on this track.
Not really low key , more high key the bass in the verse everyone knows
Bassists rarely get the recognition they deserve.
Hear hear!!
Geezer didn't come up with the bass line, he left band and came back. Geoff Nichols created the bass line for this song, then Geezer came back before the album was finished.
My favorite part of the video was when Brad proudly points to his arm to show Lex he got goosebumps. A pleasure to see you both enjoy this one.
That was an awesome moment , and really tells you how music can move people .
One of the best voices in Metal!
Black sabbath children of the sea has to be next. Dio kills it
Children of the Sea, yes, and Stargazer also soon I hope.
my favourite sabbath song
Oh my godddd yessss
Most underrated song ever from Black Sabbath imo
The way Dio goes into the first verse is iconic. That song just hits so hard
Brad is finally becoming one of us \m/
I think, ultimately, its Lex's influence and love of metal that is slowly making him... more aware, of what to listen too.
Horns up to brad. 🤘
@@bevil4aday that and the fact that subscriber suggestions are typically biased towards the subscriber’s preference. People want people to like what they like more than they have a genuine interest in helping someone discover new music that they would enjoy.

Mob Rules!
It was cool to watch Brad look like he's really enjoying the music.
Off the greatest movie soundtrack ever! Heavy Metal
@@Prone2Thrill Exactly!
They opened up with Mob Rules was so epic!!!
@@Acebets70 They opened the movie with Don Felder's "Heavy Metal", IIRC. "Mob Rules" came in for the siege of the city in the final story. I think.
If they listen to fools…
Their goal in replacing ozzy was to NOT get a duplicate of him. They wanted to go in a slightly different direction. I sure miss the composition of the songs from the ozzy era, but I love dio’s vocal style
FYI, DIO started in elf then Rainbow and Black Sabbath. Check out "Man on the Silver Mountain" by Rainbow.
Before ELF Dio sang Doo Woop started in 1958
@@raydotzler9117 Ronnie and the rumble fish. Just didn't think anyone would be interested in knowing that.
I left the same comment lol👍
I saw Dio in 1972. The band he was in was Elf at the time. Deep Purple and ELF were touring together when I saw them. Great Concert. Purple and ELF.
GREAT song!
Next check out Stargazer. Ronnie James Dio was one of the best rock vocalist ever.
🌈 Stargazer is a must
Greatest hard rock vocalist in history!!
Sabbath baby
R.I.P. Ronnie
Lex spot on with those 3 songs
"The world is full of Kings and Queens who blind your eyes and steal your dreams, its Heaven and Hell.." Truth.
"LET'S GO BRANDON"
Another "epic solo with "Falling off the edge of the World"
One of the greatest riffs ever. What else would you expect from the riffmaster himself.
Absolutely. One of my favorites.
I envy these folks for being able to hear this song for the first time.
Ronnie James Dio wrote the lyrics to this song. Dio is one of the top heavy metal singers of all time. One of my favorites!!🤘
He had a pretty cool grandma, too. 🤘🏻
@@POWER-LINKS 🤘🤘
He usually did write the lyrics for the songs he recorded, but there are exceptions of course.
...but not the best song writer, but still a legend IMO....also not good at basketball
Not "one of"
They say that life’s a carousel, spinning fast you gotta ride it well, the world is full of kings and queens, who blind your eyes and steal your dreams ITS HEAVEN AND HELL
Dio is such a larger that life person!! Seemed so down to earth with a heavenly voice!! Rip!! 🤘🏻🤘🏻
But a real hater about Vivian Campbell.
The big voice in such a diminutive body
Dio's voice is just so crazy clean and youthful sounding. Not sure how to explain it. Like you said, he put everything into every syllable.
Dio was 38 yrs old at the time this was recorded...since he was born in 1942 and first recorded single was in 1958, his contemporaries were Elvis and The Beatles...
Every word comes out Clear...In my Youth I really liked Dio's Voice, but Sadly Very few of is songs got me. I really tried... but The Music was just a tad to Oldschool For me
Dio said the song was about choosing the right path in life, you choose heaven or hell. He said it's also a criticism of organised religion, which tells you everything is evil. He said you need to just choose to be good.
yes ..the key is ORGANISED religion ..notice that ? Dio believed in higher power...but he knew he could not rabbit on about religion or god ....because his fan base would not accept it ..i BELIEVE dio was dishonest in this regard
Brilliant singer / lyricist ....but basically sold out to an image ....he references god in just about EVERY song he ever did .......he was obsessed with it ...and hides it with veiled criticism ...he even fooled himself for his career sake . I think he would concede that a higher power exists ...but its easier to knock it and just be popular .
You either have morals and empathy or you don't......forced religion doesn't do anything but fool you!
@@katelynneshouse2834 i never said otherwise ....what i AM saying is that dio believed in a higher power -but that he hides his interest in it , because it does not sit with his image .
the best thing I ever did was get out of organized religion and church cliques ...they all have their cliques no matter what you think and many are cultish. You don't need people to believe in God.
@@sixslinger9951 thats true to a degree ....but when dio becomes ambiguous about god ,because he fears rejection for his obvious interest ....i have a problem with him .
This whole album is great.
Dio is a beast! In my opinion, the reason he's so great is because his roots are in Doo Wop and Blues. So his riff choices are all very soulful. He also had a band called ELF, more Blues Rock where he is singing his face off.
Nevermore and Wonderworld are great songs from the Elf days.
Еще Дио итальянец, а они очень душевные и певучие.
Dio was so emotionally expressive with his vocals, gutted that I only discovered his music after his death. I imagine attending one of his concerts would have been amazing.
Looks to be a documentary about his life coming out in cinemas on September 28th called dio dreamers never die. I'll look forward to watching it.
Damn we're very much in the same place. But I didn't knew about the documentary, thanks btw.
To be fair, Dio really deserved his own grand movie like many music legends are getting
“Bleed for the dancer” meaning has eluded people for decades. There are many interpretations. On one hand, you are the dancer. You are the one that puts in the work to make your life heaven or not put in the work to make your life hell. You got to bleed for your success. On another hand the dancer can mean the arts. The artist gives everything to his art and audience.sometimes no one gives back…
The dancer is god, god bled for you, but you won't bleed for him
Dio wouldn't of
@@raymondwarmke7094 god, the truth, the creator is symbolized in the song as the dancer. Later in the song he reiterated you got to bleed for the dancer. It's the only way.
Yes its basically about sacrificing for your art or creation. The Dancer symbolizes the artist or creator.
He didn't believe in God or Heaven . He said so many times in his lyrics that we ere evil , we are divine . Wake up people. He's referring to Antichrist and the followers against God . You need to listen more cafe fully to the lyrics. I don't care whst you people think. He always says we are liars we are strong we are evil . He's a freaking liar if you think he's talking about some good . Your fools . Don't get me wrong I like a lot of dios music , but I don't let it get into my head , I know he's trying to make everyone believe his lyrics are not a shot against Jesus and Christian believers, but that's a lie . I like rock n roll and metal , but I'm telling you the truth. There are a lot of songs out there that I like the music but could do without the evil lyrics.
"THE WORLD IS FULL OF KINGS AND QUEENS WHO BLIND YOUR EYES AND STEAL YOUR DREAMS, IT'S HEAVEN AND HELL"!
RIP RONNIE!✌❤🙏🤘
"Nobody bleeds for the dancer".... The dancer comes out in front of an audience and gives their all for (what is tantamount to) an unappreciative audience. Also seriously, check out Stargazer with DIO in Rainbow. Amazing tune.
I reckon it's more to do with it just rhymes with 'Answer'....Lyric writing 101 from the Big Boys Book of rhyming words, courtesy of Ronnie (Night, Bright, Fright, White, Light - Higher, Fire, Dire, Mire, Liar - Wheel, Steel, Feel) Dio.
Dio was into tarot cards….the dancer is the lowest card of value in a deck….the line is about empathy for all
WHAT NO NO NO NO no man you got it all wrong lol
I asked bing for it, he said the "dancer" here would be anyone being fooled or manipulated, and "nobody bleeds for the dancer" would be about how we usually dismiss these people as stupid believing we couldn't be fooled and then the cycle goes on and on, on and on and on and on.
Richie Blackmore (guitarist) left Deep Purple in 1975 to form Rainbow. He knew Dio and asked him to join the band. Dio left Rainbow in 1979 to fill the vacancy of Ozzy Osbourne, who started a solo career. You gotta check out Rainbows song Stargazer and Gates of Babylon. Rainbows 1976 album Rising is a masterpiece👍👍 The version of Heaven and Hell on their Live Evil CD is killer!
And Blizzard of Ozz,and Diary of a Madman
Great suggestions. When Ritchie left Deep Purple he basically took over the band Elf (of which RJD was the vocalist) and rebranded them as RB’s Rainbow.
Hahaha that moment Brad’s eyes lit up from the lyrics then Combined with Dio’s voice brought the tingles and goosebumps. That. Right. There. Is why RJD is regarded as one of the best vocalists of all time and The Godfather of metal.
The 70s /80's really was a golden time to be alive. We had the legacy of the 60's still fresh in our ears, and the death of rock in the 90's was still years in the future. Rock On
I believe "the Dancer" is the common person. Who must "dance" though life just to make it. While all the wars and big social battles are waged for elites, by the common folk.
Ronnie J. Dio ( R.I.P) was in my opinion the best vocalist ever...... by the way nice T-Shirt, Lex
I never think of this as Black Sabbath. It’s all Dio to me.
For me it was Fifth grade with Ozzy. It doesn't sound like Black Sabbath with Dio. Sounds like Dio. Sabbath was always Ozzy for me.
Dio excellent vocalist as is Sammy Hagar. My opinion, anyway.
Ronnie James Dio was the greatest metal vocalist of all time. Over the years, Dio Sabbath has become my favorite version of Black Sabbath. I think Tony Iommi's best solos and his best riffs came while Dio fronted the band. 🤘
Ronnie in many interviews considered this song to be his best song writing works. In regards to Brad wondering what "No One Bleeds for the Dancer" means; RJD stated No One Bleeds for the Dancer was directed at up and coming artists, to encourage them to pursue their dreams and not be deterred by whatever powers that be. In that context , I think of the dancer as perhaps a metaphor for the arts, how nobody advocates for the arts nearly as strongly as say, politics and power. The world is full of Kings and Queens, who'll blind your eyes and steal your dreams. 2 thumbs up reaction!!
That's a bunch of shit , Dios lying
This has nothing to do with coming artists, are you crazy, listen you dummy
My interpretation is that people do not care for the ones doing or performing or making anything, they do care about the results (the arts, the goods, the achievements) and they would die for it, but not for the person that makes these things possible.
"Dancer" means "angel" (associated with heaven). So love can be seen as the answer, but no one [is willing to sacrifice for what is good.]
Wow thank you for explaining that..that's DIO all the way..reminds me KILL THE KING..he hates power ..in people in power..he likes power into the individual
One of the best rock songs ever. Structure, Lyrics, Vocals, Iconic Riffs. Has it all
Regarding “the Dancer” . I believe Dio was said to reference this as Jesus. .Took me years to finally find this break down from him in a late interview. Not 100 % sure though.
The dancer - you got it. Its the only line in the songs which he comes back to but develops the point, bleed = meaning is sacrifice. You get nothing for nothing. You have to pay first.
I've been trying to figure out who the dancer is since I first heard this song in the mid 80's. I think you guys maybe on to something here. What I always came up with is that the dancer is a person that is truly good and asks for nothing in return and that nobody recognizes that this person sacrifices their time/energy to keep others afloat. Just the fact that that lyric still has us talking about it 40 years later shows the true mastery that is Ronnie James DIO (RIP) 🤘🤘
I always thought it was in reference to this Bible story:
"Salome is known in the Christian Gospels for her role in the execution of John the Baptist. When Herod Antipas offered to fulfill a request after she danced for him, Herodias, Salome's mother, urged her to ask for the head of John the Baptist, who had opposed Herodias's marriage to Herod."
@@tomrocks5367 Your analysis describes the crucifixion so again reaffirms our analysis
@@generoberts9151 Same as my previous reply to same question....I reckon it's more to do with it just rhymes with 'Answer'....Lyric writing 101 from the Big Boys Book of rhyming words, courtesy of Ronnie (Night, Bright, Fright, White, Light - Higher, Fire, Dire, Mire, Liar - Wheel, Steel, Feel) Dio.
My introduction to Black Sabbath and Ronnie James, was about in 3rd grade.
Dio had one of the best voices
in Rock/ Metal EVER!!
Ya'll should check out the band Rainbow doin the song "Mistreated" live in Berlin. Dio killed it and Ritchie Blackmore destroyed a perfectly good guitar. If memory serves "bleed for the dancer" is a metaphor for sometimes people have to make sacrifices in life. Dio has been quoted as saying that this is the song he's most proud of that he's written.
i you want to see Ritchie destroy more than one guitar ( and Amp ) watch this . czcams.com/video/URnQzst6Y1U/video.html
@@fkops2773 yeah, been a fan since I was old enough to care...'76...took off and ain't been back yet lol.
Munich actually not Berlin. Live in Munich 1977. Without a doubt the single greatest live vocal performance in rock history.
@@jimshelby406 oops...memory isn't what it used to be.
Mistreated from Rainbow On Stage is my all time favorite song and has been ever since I first heard it in 1984
This song has some of the most profound lyrics ever in a song
The moon is just the sun at night..
The less that you give your a taker.
Blead for the dancer..
There's so many great one liners in this song you can't mention all...DIO IS A GOD WHEN IT COMES TO WRITING LYRICS
Not a bad song on this entire album. After Heaven and Hell, Lonely is the word is a personal favorite. Tony Iommi's guitar work on the song is amazing
"Cross Purpose" is my favorite album.
Definitely on the top shelf with the best Ozzy era albums.
Yes, that guitar in that song is just goat, she would love those
Lady Evil!!!
My favorite Song of all times... 🤘
... my alarm clock ringingtone since over 20 years 😎
Nice🤘
The dancer is someone who chases you. They dance for you. Someone who really wants you
That bassline that comes in around 7:00 is just incredible. What an epic track.
Congrats! You have have found one of the major metal songs. 100 points!!! You now can go for next level...
Try DIO in Rainbow "Man on the silver mountain ".
Dio was great with Sabbath, brings many memories
Bleed for the dancer is one of Ronnie's most enigmatic lyrics/riddles he left us with.
Great song and overall a great record! Dio coming to Sabbath injected new life and vitality into the band. And the best thing for Ozzy too as his solo career reinvigorated his creative juices and he went on to greater commercial success than Sabbath had.
My favorite from this record is Neon Knights!
The entire Heaven and hell album is amazing!
You've got to bleed for the dancer to me is about feeling for those that feel life that aren't just going through the motions, but embrace the beauty, the art of life...you've got to bleed for the dancer. It's like a mantra
Live at The Spectrum 1986. That's the video you want to watch. I actually met the members of Metallica in line to watch a Dio concert. San Francisco 1985. True story. We all wanted to see Dio.
My initial reaction was the act of “bleeding” for something meant to sacrifice for it. “Love can be SEEN as the answer.” We’ve always heard “all you need is love” “love thy neighbor” but the world is still a mess. Nothing good in life is free (in spite of what our leaders may say). Every decision has a sacrifice attached. Good or bad (or heaven and hell)
Nice to see Brad smiling to this song
My favorite song with Dio ever. I heard that "DANCER" is another word for artist and artist is another word for creator and creator is another word for God.
Dio's era was the best one... Black Sabbath just...powerful! 🤘🏻
'Heaven and Hell' is an all time classic and can't be played enough. Thank you for the reaction!
Also, check Black Sabbath's 'When Death Calls' from Headless Cross; an amazing song and there should be more reactions to it.
Fun fact: Ronnie James Dio invented what’s now known as the Devil Horns. He took it from his grandmother who would show the maloyk to people (giving someone the evil eye and protection from the evil eye)
Dumb 💩 Gene thinks he invented it and even tried to own the rights to it, but he owns the rights to the money bag in Monopoly
That’s not true. It came from Coven. They came before Black Sabbath, wrote a song called Black Sabbath and had a bass player named Oz Osborne. They’re doing the devil horns on the cover of their first album “Witchcraft Destroys Minds and Reaps Souls”. A few years later, Black Sabbath comes out in England and music critics refer to them as England’s version of Coven.
Bleeding for the dancer is like "you" are the dancer, and you have to put forth the effort to "find the answer"
Lex just ... gets it .. feels it. Natural Born Rocker if ever is saw one
Thank y'all for hitting this one. It's one of the best songs on my favorite Sabbath album. I recommend "Neon Knights" and "Children of the Sea" as well.
Let's Go!
While I love this whole album, one of my favorites on it that doesn't get as much attention is a song called " Walk Away". Great showcase of each of the artists in the band. Really strong groove in it.
Haha, great song, love your reactions! I was lucky to see them perform the Heaven and Hell album and Dio was an amazing front man and singer. Sabbath sounded just like the CD live in concert, truly legends!
Was lucky enough to see this performed, at the Birmingham NEC when Black Sabbath reformed with RJD in the 90's. It was unbelievable live!
“Love can be seen as the answer, but nobody bleeds for the dancer”
Is a line that has been pondered since the song came out.
I’ve heard a lot of different interpretations of it.
I think the dancer is any artist and bleeding for is understanding the hard work and training they put into their craft.
I of course could be way off.
I agree. "The Dancer" represents all artists, and "nobody bleeds for the dancer" is saying that artists are way down on the totem pole in society. The money makers and politicians are more important to those in charge.
Dio always preferred to leave his lyrics open to interpretation but he did drop hints throughout the years of where inspiration for different songs came from. Sometimes like with this line you wish he would explain his thinking in a little more detail.
@@evilfantasy69 Yeah, I wouldn't overthink it. I'm sure most of us have heard the expression, "the dance of life" or something similar, and I think it safe to say, keeping with that analogy, that we are all dancers.
@@supertrexandroidx 'The Dance' by Garth Brooks is another example - "I could have missed the pain, but I'd had to miss the dance"
The song sounds like he is talking about his feelings during a literal dance but he is actually talking about the entire relationship from beginning to end.
I am personally of the mind that the dancer means all the beautiful and meaningful things in life which we should love (that is the answer) but that nobody bleeds for the dancer means that people are not willing to fight for those things, thus them saying that love is the answer is meaningless
Back when all this music was coming out all the parents were screaming we were Devil worshiping, when really it was deep thinking music with a heavier sound. it really makes you think on good and evil, rage against the machine(government). these musicians were telling us what was going on in a world we were just going into as teenagers to young adults.
Pink Floyd spoke all about today's world. True back then too. Welcome to the machine.
Lex: Tony Iommi on the guitar is another of those heroes. He as a unique sound, cut of his fingertips in an accident but ignored the fact and continued to play guitar and is just simpkly a legend.
"Children of the Sea" off of this same Black Sabbath album will blow you away.
Try Stargazer guys!
You should listen to "I" by Black Sabbath w/ Dio.
YES! Another of my fave Sabbath tunes!
I've been listening to this song for almost 40 years and it still gives me chills.
My father had every Black Sabbath Album. He had every rock album in existence. I'd sit on the floor and flip through each record cover and be mesmerized while he had them out doing his religious routine cleaning his albums/records. This I did in 70's & into the 80's before my parents divorce. AC DC, Styx, Led Zepplin, Black Sabbath, Iron Maiden, Rainbow, Dio, Genesis, Motorhead, Boston, Foreigner, ZZTop, Journey, Rolling Stones, Iron Butterfly(love!), Frank Zappa, Thin Lizzy, Alan Parsons(love!), Beatles, Doors, Moody Blues, Lynrd Skynrd, Quiet Riot, Accept, Wasp, Anthrax, Pink Floyd, Dire Straits, Gary Numan, Peter Gabriel, Fastway, Also Nova (love!), Deep Purple, John Fogerty, Cheap Trick, Pat Benetar, Heart, Stevie Nicks, Grand Funk Railroad, Van Halen, Billy Squire, Loverboy, Scorpions(love!), Queen..on n on it goes. Name it, he had it! Love all really I do cuz mean much to me cuz major part of my life since I was a toddler!!
Please try "cradle of filth - her ghost in the fog" - but with the video, the video adds to the song, perhaps get the lyrics on screen to follow it.
i was 13 years old when i bot this album. still one of my favorites. RIP Ronnie. my favorite songs on the record are this one and "Neon Knights" and "Die Young".
ie young is a guitar virtuoso masterpiece lex would love it.
Black Sabbath are the gods of heavy metal.
Each of us is "the dancer", driven to dance to the music of life that only he hears...
You guys may enjoy watching him perform this live back in 1992 in Oakland. He has a great commanding stage presence and a giant voice for such a small fellow. R.I.P. RJD:
czcams.com/video/ur4JT4WN5aM/video.html
Miss those days , especially the Bill Graham era
@@s.l.s.l.1405 Same, the 80's alone were amazing...this was what little carry-over we had left of that era as grunge took over and the industry changed.
Hi! No disrespect to Ozzy, but THIS album is my absolute favourite Black Sabbath album! Enjoy! 🤘🏻🇨🇦
Mine too
Headless Cross is very good too.
and Mob Rules…
Dancer= An artist. You know what I mean? Bleeding hearts and atrists.
This is a definitive song in the world of metal music. It's a sacred song in the tribe.
As great as this album is, I think the "Mob Rules" album is even better... The songs Mob Rules, Sign of the Southern Cross, and Country Girl are some of Ronnie James Dio at his best...Check it out, you might just like it...
Couldn't agree more
"Bleed for the Dancer" always meant to me, feel for the people out there compromising their selves and doing whatever needs to be done to survive. The girl on the pole because she needs to eat.
I can agree with that....🍺🤘🏼
RIP Ronnie james Dio. The greatest rock and roll singer ever
"Nobody bleeds for the dancer" means that nobody feels compassion for the other, the metaphor is the dacer giving it all and just receiving mere applauses
So the litheral meaning is "you could see love as the answer, but nobody feels compassion"
And in the end of the song he is telling you "you have to bleed for the dancer" like you have to feel compassion, care about the other, bring a hand if you can.
Because we all are just dancers struggling in life
Great Period in Black Sabbath History when DIO was in the Band .. 🤘🏼😈🤘🏼
I saw this show in Philly. And I got to see him solo. Dio is with out a doubt one of the best voices in music history. Just my opinion
Not just yours. Dio is a legend.
This little Italian man had the voice of a giant.
You should definitely check out him singing Sign of the Southern Cross
Dio shows the crowd live in every concert on this tour during this song that people think that the first finger and pinky mean something other than what it is, he said it means long live rock-'n'-roll
I saw Black Sabbath with Ozzy and with Dio. Dio is a much better singer but both shows were great.
Dio is better, but he is no Ozzy.
OZZY split from the Band and Ronnie was the best thing that happened for Heavy Metal in a long long time, what a fricken fantastic album
Ozzy was kicked out of the band.
Guys Dio was MAGICAL!!!! He was the greatest singer, and front man of metal ever. He was hypnotic!!!The " dancer" is the devil.
Terry "Geezer" Butler was killer with bass groove in this song ! Damn !
As much as I adore Dio and his epic voice Sabbath will always be Ozzy for me and in his era metal was just being formed. It was rougher and darker then to my mind and will never be beat the riffage was supreme.
For your Halloween extravaganza, a couple of Dio in Black Sabbath songs to put in your que: "Lady Evil" and "Voodoo" Ian Gillan singing for Sabbath has a nice Halloween treat in "Disturbing The Priest" Ian Gillan is more well known as a vocalist for Deep Purple.
"Nobody bleeds for the dancer," for me, always was a play on the the Anderson fairy tale, "The Red Shoes."
In 1979 when Ozzy left the manager producer also left, they hired Sandy Pearlman (original producer of BOC) and he helped bring DIO from the band RAINBOW to Black Sabbath. He created the first "Black and Blue" tour in 1981 in which they performed this album of songs. listen to "Stargazer" "The Temple of the King" "Gates of Babylon"
Tarot Woman with Rainbow. RJD at his really,really best. Intro to this song is one of the best intros on keybord ever made.
Did was awesome live, I went to The Last In Line tour at Roberts Stadium Evansville IN and it kicked ass!
Lasers coming from 3 headed cobras eyes.
Sick!
They encoded The Mob Rules from Black Sabbath, was sick...
The ads for the show "due to intense decibel levels hearing protection will be handed out at the door".
We should've used it lol, was killer, 17 yrs old and partying, good shit.
Such an amazing singer - one of the best if not the best metal singer! I saw him live in 2004 in a crowded small club in Karlsruhe, Germany.
I got to see this group live in Lakeland Civic Center.....Mind Blowin,,,, this is one of the greats.....🍺🤘🏼
Dio was originally in a band called Rainbow 🌈. The band was Richie Blackmore’s band. Richie Blackmore was the guitar 🎸 player for Deep Purple.
You guys gotta hit Black Sabbath "Mob Rules" Which incidentally is in the movie soundtrack for "Heavy Metal" I've been telling you guys to checkout. Anyways the live version of this is so much better. The CD is called Black Sabbath "Live Evil".
Black Sabbath (with Dio) - Die Young best track ever.
This song is basically about every has the ability to choose right and wrong, its a heaven and hell.
Bleed for the dancer is basically give back, the dancer does blood sweat and tears to be ready to perform for you but do you do the same back, love is the answer but do you give that love back for their is no unselfish love.
Its all ego really
