Dio - his solo work from Holy Diver onwards

hahah ... and all these years I am thinking he is from like Birmingham or the like, meanwhile he sounds like he's from Brooklyn.
 
For years I also thought Dio was a Brit....but no, he's yankee doodle all the way.

fwiw, Vivian Cambell's guitar playing peaked with Dio. He's never done anything remotely as cool since. I'd say he owes Ronnie a beer or two.
