I know someone who entirely prefers Dio-era Sabbath. Thoroughly decent chap.

Makes you wonder, dunnit?

demonrail666 · 06.29.2008, 06:54 PM

That person has a serious point. I might not ultimately agree with him but they're not being entirely ridiculous in arriving at such a conclusion.

"when there's lightniiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiing! you know it always brings me dowououououn!!!"

my former lady friend absolutely adored solo dio and rainbow and said the best show she had ever attended was dio like two years ago.

He has certain cuntish qualities, but seeing him interviewed he strikes me as one of the most intelligent, and strangely humourous, men in Rock. Similar in some ways to Alice Cooper.

It's always good to see one of the munchkins from Oz getting work after the great depression they went through when the Wicked Witch was finally killed and they all lost meaining in their lives.

Let's face it, he's a bit of a twat.

Derek · 06.30.2008, 06:29 AM

An awesome twat.

demonrail666 · 06.30.2008, 07:07 AM

He is a twat, a cunt even, but he's fucking brilliant. I dunno. i just love him. I don't agree with hardly anything he says in this interview but you'd be hard pressed to find a more professional, polite and articulate man in Rock.

Anyway, I'm not sure what the thinking was behind sticking Louis Theroux in the video, but fuck it: it's Rainbow in the Dark.

pbradley · 06.30.2008, 07:12 AM

RIDE THE TYGA! You can see his stripes but you know he's clean.

Very good interview, he brings up some very good points.

demonrail666 · 06.30.2008, 07:56 AM

Metal frontmen are awesome as people I think. there's obvious exceptions of course but people like Dio, Rob Halford and Bruce Dickinson have a real professionalism and intelligence about them. I have nothing but total respect for them. I dunno. It's easy to take the piss out of them. They are over the top and absolute egomaniacs, but you always get the feeling that underneath everything they'd be the first to take the piss out of themselves. They certainly don't need some twat like Jack Black to do it for them. A lot of people in showbiz could learn quite a bit about conducting themselves in public by following the example set by the likes of Dio and Halford. Metal guitarists are, of course, quite the opposite. Irony free morons with the dignity of a crack whore.

Yeah, I wouldn't say i agreed with everything he said, but I'm just really impressed with how courteous he is towards the interviewer. I used to have an interview of his where some obvious fan-boys were asking him the most banal of questions but he answered them absolutely sincerely, without any sense of trying to be patronising. I just can't fault the man. I really can't.

tesla69 · 06.30.2008, 10:17 AM

He's older than Mick Jagger.

Everyneurotic · 06.30.2008, 10:28 AM

we're the last in liiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiine!!!

remember when he lost a finger in a "bizarre gardening accident" a few years ago?
