My Dear Friend Ronnie



Yesterday 16th May. . .



My dear, dear friend Ronnie James Dio passed away at 7.45am LA time. I’ve been in total shock I just can’t believe he’s gone. Ronnie was one of the nicest people you could ever meet, we had some fantastic times together. Ronnie loved what he did, making music and performing on stage. He loved his fans so much. He was a kind man and would put himself out to help others. I can honestly say it’s truly been an honor to play at his side for all these years, his music will live on forever. Our thoughts are with Wendy Dio who stood by Ronnie until the end, he loved her very much. The man with the magic voice is a star amongst stars, a true professional. I’ll miss you so much my dear friend.



RIP - Tony



Heaven and Hell (Ronnie James Dio, Tony Iommi, Geezer Butler, and Vinny Appice), "Bible Black" -- Song Premiere

Filed under: Exclusive 3.24.2009 12:00PM | By: Carlos Ramirez . . . . .



Featuring Ronnie James Dio, Tony Iommi, Geezer Butler, and Vinny Appice, Heaven and Hell is essentially the Black Sabbath line-up that was together from 1979-1982 and then again in 1991-1992. After the success of their 2007 and 2008 reunion tours, the quartet decided to use the new moniker and enter the recording studio. Hitting store shelves on April 28, 'The Devil You Know' is Heaven and Hell's official debut album but the crushing results could have only come from master veterans like these.



In our tireless pursuit of providing our readers with the hottest exclusives in metal and hard rock, Noisecreep has gotten its hands on "Bible Black," the first single from 'Heaven and Hell.' The molasses-thick riffs, slow-burning tempo, and Dio's instantly engaging vocal melodies hit hard and will surely silence the naysayers who doubted the band still had the fury to pull off such a heavy statement. If this song is any indication of what lies ahead for us, 'The Devil You Know' is going to be one ugly bastard of an album!
