Imoutgoodbye Posted July 21, 2008 Report Share Posted July 21, 2008 Well, I know I said I was going to do Black Sabbath this week, but I'm not. And I'll tell you why in HMS of FL III. For now, suffice it to say, I want to focus on the man who took over after Ozzy pursued his solo career. RONNIE JAMES DIO! THE GRAND WIZARD OF METAL! The man who gave us all the greeting of metal. The horns! Which, if you've ever heard Dio intereviewed, he'll tell you that he got it from his extremely superstitious grandmother. The horns (created by sticking the pointer and pinky fingers straight up and connecting your thumb to the remaining two fingers over your palm and holding it all high) were a way of warding off the evil eye. To give the evil eye, just point the horns at someone. Dio has given the world of metal so much more than a greeting. He is one of the most aggressive vocalists in the world of metal and to this day still continues to tour and produce music. Before launching a solo career he was part of Elf which gave us the great hit "Gates of Babylon", Rainbow with hits such as "Evilution" and the song I'm featuring in the music video, Black Sabbath to give us one of my favorite albums "Heaven and Hell", then on to his own solo career. Without anymore of my blabbering, I give you "Man on the Silver Mountain". Just click my signature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
