DIO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

[Beware the Beast Man]

1. Lookout!!!!!

:headbang:

[ET Awful]

2. Dio has rocked for a long, long time,

Now it's time for him to pass the torch.
He has songs of wildebeests and angels,
He has soared on the wings of a demon.

It's time to pass the torch,
You're too old to rock, no more rockin' for you.
We're takin' you to a home,
But we will sing a song about you.

And we will make sure that you're very well taken care of.
You'll tell us secrets that you've learned. Raow!
Your sauce will mix with ours,
And we'll make a good goulash baby.
Dio, time to go!
You must give your cape and scepter to me.
And a smaller one for KG.
Go! Go! Dio! Dio!

4. HOLY DIVER!!!!

[Magrittes Pipe]

5. Dio/Blackmore

Power, power it happens every day
Power, devour all along the way
Oh no, move me out of harm
I need a spell and a charm
Fly like the wind
I'm no pawn, so be gone, speed on and on
Kill the King

6. I saw him live like ten years ago, in a small club.

It was one of the best concerts of my life! I was about ten feet away from the man. :headbang:

[Ekirh]

7. Need to hear more of his stuff.

I've definitely liked. . . make that love what I've heard, which isn't much... His work with Black Sabbath on the album Heaven and Hell (In fact think I'll listen to some Neon Knights in a moment) and Holy Diver. I haven't heard any of his Ritchie Blackmore's Rainbow stuff though, but I'm making my way towards it.

[cassandra uprising]

8. I saw him about five years ago

Medium sized club, it was fire marshals wet dream. They had us packed in like sardines all the way to the back of the house. There was no chairs, thank GOD. He played some Rainbow, some Old Sabbath and Holy Diver practically in it's entirety.

Every time he gave the horns, it was like a shock of lightning went through his hands and the crowd went nuts. It was incredible. Especially after being subjected by this ass hat's opening set



Go ahead guess.

[Zuni]

10. Is that Yngwie?

most horrendous self indulgent crap in music history!

[redqueen]

13. My first office job

I worked in a cube across the aisle from an Yngwie-loving turd nerd. Doodie head had a giant poster size blowup of his wife's glamour headshot on his wall too. hehehehe

[Zuni]

16. One of my neighbors growing up

he was a real good guitarist, but he used his powers for the forces of evil...ie he was into Yngwie, Satriani etc. He basically wanted to use a guitar for musical masturbation

so sad. He coulda been the next Buddy Guy :cry:

[GOPBasher]

31. Hey, don't lump Satriani in there!

There's a big difference between Yngwie I can't spell his name and Satriani. Satriani wasn't just about showing off. His music was real art; it sounded good.

[cassandra uprising]

18. my dear woman

how did you survive?

[redqueen]

27. By taunting him with incessant Mark Knopfler chatter.

:evilgrin:

[Schema Thing]

30. Ah, what nice taste in guitarist idolatry you have.

[cassandra uprising]

33. RedQueen's got nice taste all around

[cassandra uprising]

BING BING BING

The butt munch actually had a light rigged to the neck of his guitar to *shoot* lasers out into the audience as he *rode* his guitar.

:puke:

[Zuni]

17. I always wanted one of those

[cassandra uprising]

20. I doubt you need it my dear

[Zuni]

24. Really...this drunk guy said it would enhance my stage presence

:P

[cassandra uprising]

32. It was probably the same guy

that swore that showing him my tits would make my poetry sound better.

[Zuni]

34. LOL

:rofl:

[Rabrrrrrr]

35. Ewww - I had to experience him opening for DIO in '91 or so

I had liked Yngwie before then - talented guitarist, but boring after a while, like Satriani. I could listen to a CD, but only one listen, and not always all the way through.

But, I was excited to be seeing DIO *and* Yngwie in the same show. I'd seen DIO many times before, but never Yngwie, and had long wanted to see him play in real life.

Man, was he boring. He was nowhere near as bad as Vinnie Vincent Invasion opening for Alice Cooper - that actually sucked. Yngwie didn't suck, he just wasn't at all interesting after about two minutes.

[cassandra uprising]

37. Wow, Alice cooper huh?

what year? That's great.

[Rabrrrrrr]

38. On his comeback tour - '87 maybe? '86?

I saw his second or third show of that tour (Saginaw, Michigan). Great show!! Still had a few effects that weren't quite working, but an incredible good time. Alice really knows how to put on a show.

Except for Vinnie Vincent.

[cassandra uprising]

39. I would have loved to have seen an Alice show

but not nearly as much as i would have died to see what JeffCT has seen.

:cry:

see my cry for MEDIC post

[NewJeffCT]

9. wow, there is a name I haven't heard in years

He wasn't a young guy when I saw him in concert 20 or 21 years ago at the New Haven (CT) Coliseum... I had 9th row on floor seats. Very good concert, too. I didn't even know he was still kicking around.

[cassandra uprising]

15. NewJeffCT

I tip my hat to you.

[NewJeffCT]

23. why, because of my age?

I'm an old man.

I saw a lot of good concerts in the mid 80s, including Metallica twice at the old Agora Ballroom in West Hartford - once on the Ride the Lightning Tour and then after they finished their stint opening for Ozzy for Master of Puppets.

My first concert ever was Lita Ford opening for Ratt & Twisted Sister...also at the Agora.

[cassandra uprising]

36. MEDIC!!! IS THERE A MEDIC IN THE LOUNGE

You mean


you saw


his most wonderful




I gasp for breath!

[NewJeffCT]

40. yes, I saw Metallica with Cliff Burton

My biggest concert regrets have been not seeing Van Halen when they had David Lee Roth and passing up an opportunity to see Nirvana up in Springfield because I was a bit under the weather... a few months later, Kurt Cobain was dead.

[cassandra uprising]

41. aw man Jeff

:hug:

[redqueen]

11. Yeah, baby!

:headbang:

[sundog]

12. you're toeing the line now

:grr:

:P

[Zuni]

14. all just hopping on the Dio bandwagon

but the train already left the station...

[BigMcLargehuge]

21. He's the Last in Line!!!!

[cassandra uprising]

22. da nah -nah nah

:applause:

[Strawman]

28. YOU LOSE!

Remember the video where the kid with glasses gets shocked while playing a video game in hell after "YOU LOSE!" appears on the screen? That was kickass.

[Schema Thing]
