on the zealots mentioned above: there will always be lunatics in this world, some places do seem to produce them in larger quantities, though... I still think the best thing we can do it to ignore their attempts to get publicity
i hope the security at Dio's funeral will deal with this quietly and discretly to let things go on with the dignity he deserves

A few words from Scott Warren
DIO / HEAVEN & HELL keyboardist Scott Warren has issued the following statement in the wake of Ronnie James Dio's passing:
"How can I express what 17 years next to Ronnie now means to me? He has led me on an incredible journey. I have been blessed by his presence, and his voice. He was my surrogate father, my brother, my friend, my teacher AND my loyal advocate. Our fearless leader. He never let us down. He was never not out to prove it. Because he 'WAS' it. Just a class act. Life without him will never be the same. Yet it is not because of these things that I know he IS in Heaven. But that's another story.
I will miss you, my dear friend. RJD RIP"

HEAVEN & HELL drum and bass technicians Andre Bargmann and Terry Welte toured the world for several years with the famous metal band fronted by the late Ronnie James Dio and also featured fellow BLACK SABBATH legends Tony Iommi (guitar), Geezer Butler (bass) and Vinny Appice (drums).
KPLR-TV, channel 11, is a television station in St. Louis, Missouri, spoke with Bargmann and Terry Welte, who describe a side of the singer that many might not know about.

Is it just me who cannot get the video to work?

they are right...actually if it were not for Dio - and others' like him and Ozzy- none of us would be here because they sort of invented metal they way we understand it today...
it is just too easy to lose the historical perspective and take things for granted believing metal has 'always' been the way it is...
