About this episode
We close out the year in excellent fashion with DIO-CEMBER VOL2 ! We left off last week with Ronnie James Dio fronting Black Sabbath . Inasmuch as the chemistry was palatable, Ronnie needs and change and things pick up in 1983. The Holy Diver album is an absolute powerhouse because of its lineup. Guitarist Vivian Campbell , bassist Jimmy Bain , and drummer Vinny Appice were the perfect arsenal to back Ronnie up. Accordingly, the results are made clear in the material they released. To follow up Holy Diver with such strong albums as Last in Line and Sacred Heart speaks to the power of this lineup. DIO-CEMBER VOL2 DIO-CEMBER VOL2 explores the many changes that took place in Ronnie's career. While the original lineup gets plenty of love in this episode, we also aim to show you that fantastic material was released well after they ceased to be a unit. Consequently, you'll get tracks from DIO albums including Dream Evil, Lock Up the Wolves, Strange Highways, Magica, Killing the Dragon, and Master of the Moon . Additionally, Aaron spins a great track from the Heaven and Hell lineup. Ronnie James Dio may no longer be with us but he leaves a musical legacy that endures. Indeed, his incomparable voice raised the bar for such legends as Richie Blackmore and Tony Iommi. Additionally, the impressive material that he put out through the DIO is an undeniable template to the greatness of Heavy Metal. We hope you've enjoyed DIO-CEMBER . DIO-CEMBER VOL2 is the end of our two-part tribute to the great Ronnie James Dio . However, there's always next year! We Recommend: Eternol Idols video reviews on Youtube DIO-CEMBER VOL1 Contact Us!
