Dio "Holy Diver" REACTION & ANALYSIS by Vocal Coach / Opera Singer

- čas přidán 6. 06. 2021
- We're diving straight into another Ronnie James Dio masterpiece with an angelic performance from his aptly named band Dio. He wrote this song to show how selfish humanity is, taking place on another world, or another realm. I chose to watch the music video specifically for the visuals of the story taking place.
Join professional opera singer Elizabeth Zharoff, as she listens to the band Dio for the very first time, performing "Holy Diver”.

Check out his song Losing my Insanity on the Magica Album...his best vocal performance EVER!!!
Do Roy Harper
Dio used to listen to Mario Lanza
Is possible to learn most or rare vocals on your own just by trying different sounds and think that's sounds good
Try Dio

You can hear his vowels and you know they're clean.
"...Oh don't you see what I mean!"
Nice one :-D
Winner!!! I don't need to read any more comments.
ayyy good one bro
I did sing it. Even before I read Brian Sauer's reply.
The most powerful voice in metal. Never got the recognition he deserved. Years ago, I recognized him in a restaurant in Houston and tried hard not to bother him, but had to ask for an autograph. He graciously granted my request. I apologized for bothering him and started to walk away. He asked me if I was in a hurry and asked me if I would like to sit with him and talk. It took everything in me not to lose my mind! I managed to play it cool though. We proceeded to converse for 2 hours about life experiences and spirituality. He also told some hilarious stories about his grandmother. I learned he was in town because of his cancer diagnosis. All I did was listen as he went through his spectrum of emotions. Mainly anger at finally seeing success only to be derailed by his diagnosis. After a hug, we parted ways and I have never met a more beautiful spirit yet mighty force since. I cried for days after hearing of his passing. RIP RJD
Hermoso recuerdo. Ronnie fue la mejor voz del planeta en su genero. Poseía una habilidad y una técnica depurada para lanzar rangos altos => bajos/ bajos=>altos.
Es obvio que tenia un talento natural, pero seguramente ha estudiado en alguna academia y entrenado muchas horas.
Una pena que se lo haya cargado un cáncer a los 51 años.
Saludos cordiales.
Awesome !😊
Parabéns pela gentileza de ouvi-lo, obrigado por compartilhar conosco🙏
Damn that’s a cool story man. Sad to lose such a talent and great guy. Thanks for sharing that
Lucky man meeting RJD
She said “I hate it when songs by Dio end”. It’s great to see that she feels the same way that we do. The man was a force of nature and an irreplaceable legend.
I just commented the similar thing on the other song of his a second ago, it's really a larger than life experience, hearing the god of heavy metal and the roar of his thunderous voice
As fantastic of an artist as Dio truly is, I feel as though the thing that made him truly legendary was his personality. The man was short in stature yet larger than life on stage, a living legend, yet there are countless artists and fans that tell of how kind and welcoming he was. He loved what he did and loved those that allowed him to do it, I mean his live proformance of rainbow in the dark where he calls his fans all his rainbows in the dark made me tear up as you hear the compassion in his voice. Truly a one of a kind and truly disappointing that ignorance allowed so many to believe he was spreading any message other than positivity in the community.
It's also delightful to hear a vocal expert and opera singer say of Dio "I LOVE his God-like voice!"
This song is 100% responsible for the existence of jack black. It spawned him out of thin air.
I like to think his origin story started there
Brutal legend 😂😂😂
“I hate it when songs by Dio end”
I think we can all agree Elizabeth
The only time it's a good thing when a Dio song is knowing the next one will start soon. :P
Exactly what i was thinking!
The endings are often the best part. That vocal riffing in the fade out is incredible.
Wasn't expecting to see you here, especially after the hiatus. Hope you're doing well and keep up the good work!
wait, has she seen Dio in the Pick of Destiny?????
"I hate when songs by Dio end." Nothing truer ever spoken.
The exact comment I was gonna type! 💯
This
right in the feelings!
Dig
Thats my favorite quote from any woman ever lol
I just love how our metal was considered not music in the day to finally get the recognition that dio and many others deserve is truly mind blowing to me
After all the shit we metalheads have had to put up with over the last 50 years, I'm glad I lived to see it finally be recognized.
Basically every genre goes trough the same
@@PautinoPR pop never really did
@@PautinoPR So true.
We didn’t care, we knew what we had.
I just finished watching the 2022 documentary "Dio, Dreamers Never Die" and I cried at the end. He was just an amazing person. He wasn't into metal for the girls, drugs, parties or money. He loved the music and loved entertaining. His voice and music will live on forever! 🤘🤘🤘
I watched it recently too. I also cried. He had integrity, and that seems to be severely lacking in a lot of people.
Im really looking forward to watching it.
I saw it, it was great.
I love watching her face as she discovers music that has been my life for 40+years.
Awesome 👌
Exactly.
man im so autistic and it's hard for me to watch her. i can never tell if she's laughing at it or just having fun. if she likes something or if she's cringing at it. but i can't help but watch even though it makes me feel like that. people with overly animated facial expressions make me feel strange
@@smolwavingsnail9028 That’s does sound like something difficult to deal with and I envy you.
Thank you for replying .
I was raised in a very Classical culture...and now hearing this stuff, yeah, her face was my face.
I agree, I remember when the album came out, lol.
Elizabeth is now slowly becoming a rock / metalhead and she's good
@nunya business yeah shes giddying all over the place
@@jimlotus4428 this is true.
I wish Dio could see this. He always seemed a little sad that his influence on the genre's evolution rendered him to be left out of the conversation or forgotten in some way. He'd probably light up seeing this
I used to have 2 of 3 of his albums, with Elf. Before he went metal. Dio had one hell of a voice !!!
😊
No way Dio was the conversation seen him live 4 times Sabbath and Dio late 70’s early 80’s he’s one of the all time greats Ronnie James Dio rocked🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽
Listen to Rainbow in the Dark, in fact just listen to everything, you won't be dissapointed 🙂
i say shame on the night. holy diver is the most popular song but by no means his best vocal performance... rainbow in the dark is my favorite song btw lol
Rock and roll Children.
Last In Line too please.
Children of the sea and die young by black sabbath are also great dio songs
Mob rules with sabbath too...
Dio is a legend, and he shall be passed down through the ages as an immortal.
Dio dropping panties even 11 years after his "official death"
This would imply he has passed, Dio is simply hiding as it would be unfair to impart that much power in one lifetime.
His sauce will mix with ours and we'll make a good goulash!
Dio can you hear me? i am lost and so alone...
🤘🤘
I love how she is almost like a little kid enjoying life soo much is heartwarming
Same. It's why I watch her channel so much. Her joy, enthusiasm and analytical analysis is a perpetual joy.
Dio achieved that perfect marriage between the Blues and opera. His voice was made for metal!
This is an absolute classic, but I feel like ‘Don’t talk to strangers’ is a better display of Dio’s range and control over his imstrument. It’d make for such an interesting analyses
This song is about the catchy guitar riff and melody. It does not showcase Dio's vocals. There are so many better songs to choose from if it's just about vocals.
1983 live version from Holland though. Showcases his voice much more than the studio version
Thats true
“Don’t Talk to Strangers” is an overlooked classic, my second favorite Dio song
Invisible is also awesome.
"Hell was Boring"😀 Nice T-Shirt.
Thank you!
@@TheCharismaticVoice I would love to know where you got it
@@panagiotizan612 Blasphemy!
@@panagiotizan612 Holly Shit I never heard of these guys. One listen and Yeah. I have to agree. Awesome Voice. Music and Musicians are through the Roof...Fire!
@@panagiotizan612 Lol, yeah ok, you are entitled to your opinion.
This is my Daughter's favourite song. She's 3 and a half and whenever we go on a trip in the car this is the song she asks for. Rainbow in the dark comes in a close second.
cultured daughter
Stand up and shout is very good too
You are bringing her up good. My best wishes
She's going to be alright :D
Ronnie Dio must be so proud of her.
Ronnie James Dio's voice is the most emblematic of heavy metal, both in the eighties and today.
Elizabeth: “I hate when Dio songs end.”
Metalheads everywhere: *wipe tear* “Me, too.” 🤘😭
Rest In Peace, Ronnie!
DUDE I HAD TO WIPE A TEAR LOL
11 years and it still hurts.
Still Not Believing That He Is Gone...
He Is Still Around Us...
He Can't Be Without His Elf's (fans)...
DIO Is more than just an emotion...bigger than Religion Itself...
Dio means GOD in Italian...
but
GOD means DIO in Metal/Rock
#goDIO
tell me about it...
songs like Rainbow In The Dark..
Last In Line...Stargazer...Man On Silver Mountain...Sacred Hearts...Sunset Superman...Egypt...and not forgetting DREAM ON...lyrics on point...nice SWAN SONG...
DIO means GOD in Italian...
but
GOD means DIO in Rock/Metal
#LongLiveDIO
Amen!
I just love that "kid in a candy store" vibe you give when I see you listening to Dio. It's pure joy! 😁👍
The documentary about Dio's life is suppose to be released this fall. I watched the premier with Eddy Trunk and Wendy Dio. It shows footage of him singing in the studio. The movie is called Dreamers Never Die.😊🖤
Thanks for the info, I didn't know about this. I discovered Dio at the age of 12 I'm 47 now and he will always be my favorite artist not only because of his amazing talent but also because he seemed to always be such a positive influence
@@demonicastar Welcome.
Just came from seeing it, definitely go.
Is Wendy Dio his daughter?
@@richarddavis8863 Wendy is his wife
I must have heard this song 10000 times. But your reviews show me details that I as a non musical person would never notice and therefore new things to appreciate. Sometimes its like hearing these songs for the first time again. And that is a real gift. Thank you for your videos. Amazing!
I'd have to recommend Dio's "The Last in Line". It has a completely different melodic opening than most of his songs and the note he sings that explodes open the main portion of the song is earthshattering!
Boost this 👆Last In Line has my vote too
Also the Tenacious D's version is top notch
Rainbow did some great shit before Dio joined Sabbath
Yes, The last in line is a good choice.
Ronnie James Dio has the greatest vocals in Metal history. This is undisputed. Even Bruce Dickinson from Iron Maiden said that.
uhm i think this is questionable. Metal has a f... long History, Hes good no doubt but i wouldnt give him this. No offence tho,, :) Everyone can have his own one at the top
Funny considering the first time I heard rainbow in the dark I thought it was iron maiden
I'd honestly say Freddie Mercury, dio and Bruce are on par, though Freddie didn't have the power of those two, the way he sung was just magical
@@davydod :D Oh.. i get this. I had soo many songs wrtong during the history haha
Ozzy wouldn't agree. 😄
I love how excited she gets when she listens to new music. Someone who truly enjoys what they do.
Wide eyes, big smiles. It's free dopamine.
She's a good singer herself.
Yep. Her headset is also really really amazing, you can see her act but i know it's real! Oh don't you seee what i meaaaaan?
On crazy train intro there's this bounce left right that just energized her.
@@takaorobinson8719 Are you English? Or British? Because it's hrd to understand your comment.
I was lucky enough to have seen him live twice in the late 80's. He was superb. Tiny man. Huuuuuuge voice.
"I hate when songs by Dio end" Me too, Elizabeth... Me too! Great reaction! Thank you!
“I hate it when songs by Dio end.” I feel this so hard.
Ah Elizabeth...
I just love how your eyes light up whenever a song starts.
They shine especially bright when you do a DIO-Song.
Rest in peace, Ronny James Dio - you are terribly missed - there will never be another one just like you!
I like watching Vocal Coaches do reactions cause they'll say things like "Omg that 'e' on the 3rd first was so beautiful" and I'll be like "I also heard the 'e'" 🙂
yep. 100%. don't dig further.
Rainbow in the Dark. Lyrically inspirational but equally bad-ass. We both know it's only a matter of time before you enjoy another Dio
Rainbow in the dark my faves ,
Hell yeah!
Dude for sure. Bitchin song.
I had the pleasure of seeing him live both with Dio and Black Sabbath. Never Disappointed!🤘
What's strange is a memory you resurrected. I saw Joe Lynn Turner open for Pat Benatar years ago.
So lucky. I hadn't discovered him before he died :(
Lucky s.o.b.
Heaven and Hell tour I'm guessing. Was epic.
I am happy I managed to see Dio live at least once. My childhood was spent listening to Holy Diver, Last In Line and Dream Evil, over and over again. And drawing DIO logos on my school books. Not just as a kid. Some years ago, I painted digital, 3-D looking, versions of the DIO logo, just for myself, for no apparent reason. I've been meaning to have them printed on a coffee cup or a T-shirt or something. Maybe a decorative painting on my wall?
Been a fan of his voice since the late 70s. And now you’re shedding new light on it. Brilliant stuff.
"I hate it when songs by Dio end." - Elizabeth
"We do, too." - Everyone
her complete enthusiasm of DIOs talent is exhilirating. she truly enjoys his talent.
"I wanna know where this is and go sing some creepy Opera in it or something." Now that, is the quote of the year.
This is an older video but I'm only just finding it
It's amazing to watch you fall in love with Ronnie's music and voice. I've been an undying fan for about 20 years (I'm 30, I received a vinyl of Holy Diver for my 10th birthday) and Ronnie was and still is my hero, and one of my biggest inspirations.
"Rainbow in the Dark" taught me that the deep sadness I felt was depression and that I wasn't alone in it.
So watching you be so excited is like watching myself and it's wonderful. Honestly moved me to tears.
Thank you for helping to keep Ronnie's legacy alive. His work is very important to me and many others.
Thank you.
I really love how excited you get when you’re doing these analysis of music that is even more fun than anything else that you do is your excitement level is so high great job
In Bruce Dickinson's autobiography, he mentions that at one point he tried to put together what he called "The Three Tenors of Metal", which would have been himself, Dio and Rob Halford. Sadly Bruce's manager didn't trust Dio's manager (his wife, Wendy Dio) and had Dio replaced with Geoff Tate of Queensrÿche. Unfortunately the chemistry just wasn't there and the project fizzled out. But can you imagine Bruce, Ronnie and Rob collaborating on an album? It would have been amazing.
That would have been awesome!
Dio, Rob and the guitarists of Iron Maiden were all on "Hear n' Aid", but not Bruce. I can only dream of a shot of Ronnie, Bruce and Rob singing "We're Stars" in unison.
Wow!!
That would've been epic.
@@ronniebrucehalford8396 i remember that song/video. You really heard Halford on that 2nd chorus before the solos. It was a great project.
The church this was shot in is the St Mark's Church, Silvertown in eastern London. It was partially burned down a few years before the music video was shot. The good news is, it was repaired and is now a music venue, so you can definitely live your dream of singing there!
Designed by S. S. Teulon, the maddest of all Victorian Gothic revival architects... Silvertown is just so wilfully fuck-you ugly that one has to respect the sheer balls of those who originated and OKed such a wild design! St Stephen Hampstead (which also lay derelict for many years) is even wilder...
One of my all time favorite songs. Been listening to it since 1983, and I still do from time to time. It's AWESOME!
Dio had the most powerful voice ever put to record. Dude could absolutely project power through words
The Last in Line is a must. It's a trick though, he makes you think he's going to slip a ballad past you, don't fall for it.
42 seconds of pure deception! We must tell others! Lol
😂
Ronnie James was truly one of the nicest people I ever met, he just loved what he did and he was so down to earth. I could totally see him sitting down for a Q&A on this channel, he would've totally loved Elizabeth's analysis and appreciation for his work.
I can second that. He was a lovely guy.
I third this. I got the opportunity to meet him briefly in St. Louis, during their Magicka tour. He was just a great soul.
He's watching from above, and smiling.
I thought the same thing. He would've been delighted by her analysis.
@@rabarebra as far as I read/know that was his wife that treated the band members as replaceable pieces that are valuable only while they stayed silent and took what she/they offered to them as a payment. And I think Dio didn't want to argue with her as much as that'd have probably led her to act even more hastily at such times (I think the main reason for this was he didn't want to harm the charity stuff money making that she handled by taking a stance against her).
I don't think I know enough about them two to make these claims/statements with absolute confidence but it's my take on that.
Dio was a "full send" vocalist for sure.
I love watching Elizabeth getting so excited over vowels!! Just a classic reaction and analysis.
She's now secretly a metal head another one saved by the metal gods
Might be true. . .
@@TheCharismaticVoice no convertion would be complete with out the beautiful whispers of megadeth symphony of destruction it's a wonderful lullaby of rhythmic poetry beautiful
@@mattsnider5539 great band, but I really can't stand Dave's whiney voice LOL.... He just snarls and whines way too much. I've always thought the band are great players, but Dave is definitely not a great singer....
@@mattsnider5539 I would love to hear her take on Dave Mustaine's "singing".
Good...Gooood.
You should definitely go for “Don’t talk to strangers”
Agree with that 100% additionally going back to Sabbath days Children of the sea displays Ronnie's range very well
Probably my favorite Dio song
Rainbow in the Dark!!
This! Please good lady
Don’t talk to strangers… they are only there to do you harm…. Don’t write in starlight ……… don’t smell the flowers…they’re an evil drug that’ll make you lose your mind… don’t dream of women cause they’ll only bring you doooooooooooowm
T-shirt gold
"I hate when songs by Dio end"
Side note, your enthusiasm is contagious. Cheers.
One of the best things about getting older is watching a new generation discover and enjoy the AWESOME music you grew up on. It's like discovering it anew. Keep it up!
I can't help but smile watching her reactions to DIO. So cool seeing her geeking out to DIO years after his untimely death. She's just about my favorite "reaction" youtoober because of this passion and her expertise. Always makes me smile !!!
I'm happy to see people remember and discover a man who is as much a legend in the present as in the past. I try not to get emotional when hearing Dio's voice because I not only like him as a performer but as a person.
@@DWyn-xq4yf Yes! Like when he told the people at his concert to stand up and get rowdy because they weren't home having a beer. Ha ha
I was fortunate enough to see Dio once in the mid to late 80's. He brought @ least a 20 foot 🐉 on stage that blew 🔥. It was a great visual to go along with his emotional voice. Ms. Charismatic seems to build more true admiration for his talents with every video. Great to watch her eyes open wide with her face filled with emotion when she couldn't believe the ending like she did with the Sabbath live video Heaven & Hell. She kinda reminds me of a cross of the 2 actors Jenna Fischer & Sofia Bush. Not bad company indeed.
Dio was an alien. He was one of those exceptional individuals that will make an impact for generations after his short time with us. He had a nearly total recall memory, was the most gracious and humble person to his fan base, raised many millions for charities, and then a natural perfect voice instrument that he was an absolute master at controlling. He never warmed up, he just owned that voice, one of those once in a generation type individuals and talents.
Very well said.
He probably did warm up. Given his reputation
@@Mizelei2012 actually a lot of first hand accounts confirming Dio did not warm up. Would be drinking some wine and smoking a cig backstage...and then it was time to go on...and he just went on. Iommi, David Draymon, others have confirmed this in interviews.
Way to go Elizabeth! Your facial expressions are adorable!!!
I love seeing your expressions,
the surprise in your eyes as you listen to, and disect this legend's vocal style. Greatest metal vocalist EVER.
I love your work! Your videos are a ray of sunlight. Keep up the magic, can't wait for the next analysis!😃
Dio's father had him learn trumpet. He practiced 3 hrs a day. It's were he got his breath and pitch control. I mean, trumpet will really get your breathing and ears together if you really train at the instrument.
Which, he did.
Dio was the type of vocalist that makes it fun to sing along, extroadinary talent, RIP.
Rainbow Eyes. Angelic. Clean throughout.
Yes, Dio is that pretty isn't he
I didn’t think I needed this in my life. Lol. I love your brilliant and edifying take on such iconic and timeless songs I grew up listening to. You being super stinking cute is just a bonus. I’m definitely a fan.
Stinking? Funny way to describe cute, don't you think?
You should check out "Man on the Silver Mountain" from when Ronnie sang for Richie Blackmore's Rainbow. Great song and voice.
Second that.
From the Rainbow - Live On Stage album is my favorite version.
Vivian Campbell on guitar such an underrated guitarist.
Right up there with Frank Hannon
An underrated medieval ax weilding warrior as well.
@@GORF_EMPIRE very good point
@@1221tesla I'm pretty sure that's him... the chin.... can mistake that chin. xD
Yes, man
"Dio, can you hear me, I am lost and so alone.
I'm askin' for your guidance, won't you come down from your throne?"
I hear you brave young Jaybles, you are hungry for the rock
But to learn the ancient method, sacred doors you must unlock!
Escape your father's clutches and this oppressive neighborhood
On a journey you must go to find the land of Hollywood
In the city of fallen angels
Where the ocean meets the sand
You will form a strong alliance
And the worlds most awesome band
To find your fame and fortune
Through the Valley you must walk
You will face your inner demons
Now go, my son, and Rock
at 12:50 when he sings ''Masquerade'', he just absolutely GROWLS it!!
Those little things in his singing do it for me.
The intro with the lead up to the main guitar is one if my favorite.
"I hate it when a Dio song ends..."
We all do.
I sing this song to my two year old daughter, and she loves it! She tries to hold the notes with me, and she swings around a foam sword that was her cousins and stomps around the house like dio walking by the bird! I love my little metal baby! When dio comes on, she says "dadda, dadda singing!" Which in my opinion, is the greatest compliment you could ever ask for!
"I hate it when songs by Dio end!"
Well put! I absolutely LOVE watching how excited you get by the minute technicalities in music!!❤️❤️❤️❤️
Your excitement and honest opinions of ALL sorts of music make me a super fan! Music IS music, good music is GOLD!
Never before has Dio’s singing been compared to a cupcake with sprinkles … 😆
Unless sprinkled with meth
Maybe a tequila cupcake laced with LSD and whale tranquilizer with rattlesnake semen sprinkles!
Oops. Was that out loud?!?
I’ll see myself out.
🤣😉🥰
Good point
Rainbow sprinkles in the dark chocolate.
The next song needs to be Rainbow - Mistreated 1977 Live in Munich.
Dio shows all the strength of his Voice!
excellent pick
Best live song ever
Best vocal performance ever
I really think it's one of the most overlooked songs he's sung, even my wife thinks it's great and she loves David Coverdale lol.
And "Catch the Rainbow" from the same concert! :)
Love that you appreciate him so. He is and was quite a gifted fellow. Generous with his fans too.
loving what your doing. Doing what you love.
Dio didn't sing. He was just telling us about his life adventures where he fought dragons and fornicated with fair maidens.
He has songs of wildebeests and angels
He has soared on the wings of a demon!
He was more of a biographer. Dude rode tigers under rainbows.
@@KTF0 in the DARK
But what about that time he was a huge fat frog in the butterfly ballroom?
Love Is All. That'd be a great song for a review too.
So true....this was from a time when men could be men
“Man on the silver mountain” by rainbow really shows a lot of range and dynamics. Not to mention it’s a killer song!
Yes!
Stargazer is an epic track as well, my favorite by them. Funny how many people love Dio but haven't heard of Rainbow lol.
@@johnbrennan8611 she's already reacted to Stargazer, which, I agree, is truly an epic track.
@@mainelystacking Ahhhh, gonna have to check that out. Thnx 4 the info.
That's an interesting choice....
Glad you're enjoying Dio. It's pretty exciting to see someone discover yet another person (Dio) who was a master of their craft (Like Layne and Chris) after I've been loving them for as far back as 35 years ago. Quite a tremendous loss we all suffered when these legends passed away. RIP to each of them.
great perspective, I enjoyed your reaction video. Dio-what a virtuoso!
Can I just point out how amazing it is to see not only your facial exoressions but the giggle you make when you get wicked giddy over certain sounds and phrases. Always makes me laugh and smile from ear to ear!
Exactly!
I concur. 😁
Holy Diver is amazing. Last In Line is even better imo.
💯
Yes, the live version especially
Don't Talk to Strangers...
@@williammanns9927 Definitely!
Agreed, Last in Line is Dio personified!
Love Dio and all of the energy that all his songs not only hold but that they generate when you listen to them, that moment you are on the bus heading to work and holy diver comes on your headphones you become filled with energy. I would suggest to have a look at a band called liliac they did a cover of this song and its phenomenal they are a band of brothers and sisters who play music together but the vocalist is insanely talented
I'm like a year late to this. I come back around to hear Dio and find a gem. Fantastic watching someone experience joy in something I find joy in! Ronnie is a rock god, end of story.
listen "all the fools sailed away" this is a great ballad from DIO
I also think Too Late by Black Sabbath....
Yes I think Elizabeth would like the Dream Evil album. All the fools sailed away, night people and the title track dream evil are fantastic. There's also a great live UK TV performance of tracks from the Sacred Heart album - tracks are Rock and Roll Children and Hungry for Heaven.
czcams.com/video/nt9o3C_Wvkg/video.html
@@arfajob3312 I always felt like Ronnie worked extra hard on making the vocals on Dream Evil in an attempt to make the band still work in the absence of Vivian Campbell. Craig Goldy is a fine guitarist, but he's different, and some aspects of the band just didn't quite seem to gel.
But Ronnie's vocals are incredible on that record.
@@j_freed if we're doing late Dio+Sabbath(=Heaven&Hell) stuff then I think Bible Black should come first to mind :D
"I hate it when songs by Dio end".
That amused me greatly in many ways.
I first heard Dio's music when I was in my late teens, in the late 1980s. I was singing along to this track, including every time you bounced back in the song. Thank, missy!
Thank you for having the show I love Holy Diver that's a great ❤one❤
Ronnie was one of Kind singer.His style and range was off the charts in talent!
You'd probably also like "The Last in Line" and "Rainbow In The Dark," also by Dio.
Dio! Great singer, great person too! Always warm and caring toward his fans.
God, this song never gets old. Love hearing her analyze this!
For such a small guy, Dio had a huge voice. I don't know how he did it but he was an incredible singer.
Before this analysis, I never really appreciated how intentionally percussive and rhythmic his vocals are. He really locks in with the drums like another instrument.
Now this comment is 👌🏻🤘🏼
Wow, I never though of this before, but yes, you're totally right!
True talent when a band meshed together so well glad this is what I listened to when I was growing up
I fell in love with RJD when he was lead singer for Black Sabbath (Heaven and Hell being the song that did it for me). I was lucky enough to see him a couple of times in concert. His voice was just as clear and strong live. PLUS he was quite the showman. Whips that had a light changing feature. Mythical creatures around the stage. It was the total experience. BTW first time I saw him he was the opener for Aerosmith, the next time Whitesnake was his opening act.
Thank you for the brilliant thoughts on this video. In general, I love your facial expressions and compassion (and your voice of course 😉).
I was allowed to interview Dio shortly before his death in Germany. He talked about his vocal training, or rather that he didn't really have any singing lessons. He learned his technique because of his trumpet lessons - that's where he learned the breathing technique for singing. He was so incredibly positive and inspiring despite his illness. I am so happy to have experienced him live at that time.
I love many of his songs and have interpreted Holy Diver as a very quiet unplugged version (if you want, you can listen on my CZcams channel … not as great as Dio's version, of course ... but straight from the heart). His voice is something very special ... so strong, and despite the roughness, very clear to the point.
Keep up the great work 😊
Best

Where can I see this interview? And by the way: I like your holy diver cover a lot.
if the real world wasn't so cruel, a Ronnie James Dio Tea Time Interview would have been the interview of a life time. T_T RIP to the Legend
I would totally have nerded out. I hope to bring on some of his friends and colleagues soon and maybe talk about him a bit.
Bloody hell
That'd have been the chat of a llifetime :_)
@@TheCharismaticVoice 😲😲😲😲😲
@@TheCharismaticVoice I bet his wife, Wendy would talk to you. It would be a great opportunity for her to promote the Stand Up And Shout Cancer Fund, also.
@@TheCharismaticVoice this is a beautiful video of Dio’s most beautiful song he ever wrote, Catch the Rainbow

I didn't expect this when I found your channel but it hooked me!
Watching you nerd out on things I've never noticed is awesome.
I would recommend "Don't Talk To Strangers" or "Lady of the Lake".
Indeed, Lady of The Lake it`s an amazing Rainbow Song. And DTTS it's amazing too!
Oh man Lady of the Lake slaps!
Don't talk to strangers by Dio - COMPARED - to the cover of the same song from Blind guardian. I could die xD
Don't Talk To Strangers is the best Dio song🤘🏻
You are so excited like I was when I was 15 yrs old!!
Watching a beautiful woman get giddy over HolyDiver has made my day
How about a middle-aged man getting giddy over HolyDiver?
@@andershjsted2989 lol 😂🤘
@@andershjsted2989 😄😄😄
@@andershjsted2989 : sure. But no not for me. We grew up with this music and now people are starting to enjoy it. That's great
She always seems so genuine and has that wide eyed princess Leia vibe.
I had the pleasure of seeing Ronnie at The Theatre St Denis in Monteal in the early 80's on this tour and it was epic.
Must've been epic.
