If (god forbid) it was Rob in question then he'd obviously be the best choice, but this...
Not only that Ripper has absolutely nothing in common with late Dio's style, he's lightyears behind Dio when it comes to singing emotionally and being as expressive.
Have they ever heard of Tony Martin?!
I see no better man for the job.

the best man for the job, ronnie's best friend and favorite vocalist paul shortino. also tony martins voice is pretty shot now

He's really good, but I was aiming more towards someone with similar style to Dio's.
Wasn't aware of that... But the stuff he released with BS is just godly

i was just told his voice is gone. i'm sure youtube can prove if its true or not.
yes tony martin sounds a lot like dio but having a friend of dio perform them is probably a better idea. shortino was managed by wendy dio when he was in the band rough cutt, ronnie and wendy helped rough cutt write a few tunes, ronnie took them out on tour as an opening band, ronnie had paul sing on that heavy metal charity tune, wendy personally asked paul to come play a tune and share some thoughts at the dio tribute memorial, paul use to live with wendy and ronnie

i have to agree scheepers sounds much more like halford than owens does plus scheepers new solo album is great
Sickboy, try this track on. Ever since Framing Armageddon came out, I've though Ripper sounded almost exactly like Dio on this. And it rules.
Incidentally, about Ripper, someone give this man a good job for cripe sake. I'm still kind of mad at Jon Schaefer for kicking him out of IE, as Framing Armageddon was a monster record.

only problem is i had to listen to scheepers solo album online. i want to buy but everywhere is sold out. FYE, barnes and noble, best buy and cdnow all have it backordered.
it was a pretty big hassle to get the new mr. big and hurtsmile too. this was really frontiers records first big releases of their new EMI distribution deal so maybe there were a few kinks in the system the first time out. i hope its not this hard to get stuff later in the year when frontiers releases new stuff by whitesnake, king kobra and sebastian bach

I agree totally on both counts.

Martin's voice is shot? Since when? Did you hear the track he sings on the new STAR ONE-Victims Of The Modern Age? The track is called Clost To The Stars and is on the bonus CD. Martin's voice is great and not shot at all. And I heard some bootleg stuff from his latest solo tour on which he sounded very good too. Yes, live he was sometimes hit or miss, but in the studio, he'd surely do a great job with these Dio tracks. But it'll never happen as Dio never seemed to have a high opinion on Martin for some reason as it seems. So, it was unlikely that Wendy would give him a call obviously.
Tony Martin is supposed to be working on a new solo CD as well as on a new album with the Giuntini Project.

I downloaded along with the new Benedictum (also on Frontier records) earlier. Put it on the iPod for future checking. Not sure what's the point in a Primal Fear album under the singer moniker, kinda like a Motorhead album going by Lemmy
I didn't know CDNow still exists (I knew Amazon absorbed it long ago), what's weird is that Benedictum is scheduled at CDUniverse but Scheepers is not listed. I prefer them over Amazon, they have screwed hauls in the past.
