Ronnie James Dio was NOT taken down by stomach cancer. Here's how I know:
Dio was the only one with the iron sac to take the vocal reins of Black Sabbath after Ozzy departed. The rumors that Mr. Osbourne only left Sabbath because of a "mystical bitchslap" laid down by RJD's personal wizard only makes it more impressive.
Not only did he popularize the infamous "devil horns" hand gesture that is a heavy metal staple, he also beat the devil's ass and told him that he was taking HIS horns away. That's how he rolled.
RJD consorted with witches, slew dragons and fought off hordes of demons with little more than his own voice...and possibly a giant sword. Don't believe me? Check out this video, and you may change your mind:
That's how I know it couldn't have been stomach cancer, an evil that couldn't be fought on the fields of battle. He deserved to go out in a glorious fight, making the landscape quake with his thundering voice before meeting his equals in Valhalla. And that's the end I choose to remember...
R.I.P. Ronnie James Dio (1942-2010). You will be remembered well.

About Me
- el Juano
- I am a blogger from Western Massachusetts who focuses on entertainment issues. I tend to put a humorous spin on most subjects, but be assured that I take music seriously. My parents kept a pretty quiet house while I was a kid, so I didn’t gain a real appreciation for music until I was nearly a teenager. I feel like I’ve been trying to play catch-up since. I borrowed most of my best friend’s musical leanings - the whole sordid “I Was A Teenage Metalhead” blog post may be forthcoming (my first big concert was Kiss and Ted Nugent). But as I began to explore more territory in college, I found punk, funk, folk and beyond. I quickly learned that anything with a good beat, decent lyrics or some combination of the two could easily captivate my attention. Now, I can’t get enough – and Juano’s Addiction is my early attempt to share my thoughts on the state of the local and national music scene. The Western Mass area has some great talent, and I’d love to show that to everyone else!
