dio is really dead it was on the news ok!

It's a shame he had to pass away already, indeed. But remember and he'll live on forever.
 
Wonder if our old pal William Grim is gonna once again exploit a legendary metaller's death by insulting it's fanbase in order to make himself look good? Like he did with Dimebag.

No, because Dio was actually a very talented musician.

"To make himself look good." is a stupid statement. If I wanted to make myself "look good", I'd go along with everyone that masturbates all over everything that Dimebag ever recorded like all of the "bandwagon" Dime fans that appeared. I don't have anything against the people that have ALWAYS said that Dime is a favorite guitarist of theirs. I have issues with the people that came out of nowhere and started claiming that he's their favorite guitarist, just because he died. Pantera was one of the first metal bands I listened to, and even then, there weren't any aspects of the band that stood out to me.

If you have a problem with me, send me a PM. I'm not afraid to voice my opinions, and I won't stop doing it just because someone gets butthurt by something that I say.

With that being said, I'd just like to point out that this thread is about DIO, a duplicate thread or not. Take your petty bullshit out of the thread and in to either a different thread or in to a PM.
 
See I thought he meant you too. Then I googled and it turns out it was someone else who none of us know or care about.
 
Wonder if our old pal William Bozarth is gonna once again exploit a legendary metaller's death by insulting it's fanbase in order to make himself look good? Like he did with Dimebag and Peter Steele.
 
Well, if Will can make a special statement about Dimebag then I can too.

Well...Dimebag actually was a pretty good guitarist so I don't blame people. Look at some random video of him soloing onstage in 1988. Very clean, alot of feel...which alot of guitarists lack compared to attentiveness to each note. This is just my opinion, but I think if Pantera never existed, Nevermore wouldn't have as crushingly heavy riffs. You don't have to like a band to be influenced alot by them. I know Sanctuary had alot of badass riffs too, I agree, their records still remind of Cowboys from Hell a bit to this day.

I do agree with the bandwagoners...there's nothing false about that statement. As far as I'm concerned...until Dimebag died, it was almost laughable for people amongst regular knowledgable extreme metal lovers to say they love Pantera...People would get all pissed off "wut??@ you don't like Satyricon better?!?! or Heathen??@! boo boo boo" and cry and shit.

Wow... just wow. From the Westboro Baptist Church website:

http://www.godhatesfags.com/schedule.html

"Forest Lawn Memorial-Park, Hollywood Hills 6300 Forest Lawn Drive WBC to picket this public memorial to remind you who worship that old Serpent, Satan, that your time is very short. You know 67 year old, Satan-worshiping (or at least one of their enablers) Ronnie James Dio (of showing his devil horns to the world each time he goes in public) Black Sabbath fame is dead, right? We'll be there! Just because the chances of any of God's elect being amongst this group of heavy metal sycophants is slim to none does not mean they should not get some good words. Yes, it is true that Ozzy Osbourne did "accidentally" bite off the head of a bat, but THAT is the least of their sins (little nasties!), they currently do not do that, but they throw raw meat to the audience and encourage violence of EVERY FORM! Here you have the list of admitted sins of this now dead and in hell pervert: 1) He hates his neighbor(s) starting with Ozzy Osbourne, and continuing down to his pornography star niece Gen Padova! 2) He hates God. Pay especial attention to the fact that he changed his original sir name from Padova to Dio, which means God in Italian. 3)Ronnie the simpleton enabled, and encouraged Sorceries: everything he was about including the little finger horn thing (he got this from his mother which is an incantation to ward off the "evil eye") to the drugs, bloody raw meat and his fellowship with those pentagon necklace wearing freakish band members. Yes, Ronnie James Padova (NOT DIO) is currently residing in hell. When all those who worship him and his false gods meet him in hell it will be just like this: Isaiah 2:12 For the day of the LORD of hosts shall be upon every one that is proud and lofty, and upon every one that is lifted up; and he shall be brought low: Isaiah 14:11 Thy pomp is brought down to the grave, and the noise of thy viols: the worm is spread under thee, and the worms cover thee. Praise God all ye, His people. The Great Day of the Lord draws nigh. AMEN!"

This is on their page of upcoming events, where evidently they have announced that they are going to picket Dio's memorial service. I wish I could afford to go out there for this, because I would happily go to jail to be able to kick Fred Phelps and his cunt daughters' teeth in, if they were to show up and protest/picket this.

they want you to be mad at them though. they're attention whores, and the only way they can fulfill their needs is to be dumbasses in public. if they actually cared about spreading a message they'd do it in a way that was...remotely effective.

the best way for people to honor Dio at the service would be to totally shut out and ignore any turdgobblers from WBC in attendance. Let them talk their shit - they just don't understand.
