RIP Ronnie James Dio

He was an excellend musician...I'm an 80's guy, so I liked his stuff. I think he did better when he was out on his own, or with his band "Dio"... Liked that stuff better than after he took over for Ozzy in Black Sabbath.

The last I had seen Ronnie he was looking his age. This is kind of sad. It does show the immortal is not true. frown Thank LIMT. I had been fishing last night and not watching or hearing any news. Just made 3 phone call and they were just finding out.

Personally I was an early Rainbow guy myself. I own every album that Raindbow & Dio put out on DVD and also many in vinyl. wink The good, the bad, and even the ugly. Songs like "All Night Long" remind me of summer night, knuckle busting while V8 engine rebuilding (with upgrades & mods), with the 5:30am firing the motor up so we could be out and about by 6:00pm that evening. smile

Really sad to hear this news today. Was a big Dio fan in the mid 80's, God Speed Ronnie James.

Shack, listened to that song "All Night Long" by Rainbow. If I didn't know better, it sounds like a Kiss song with Paul Stanly on vocals. Wasn't familiar with much of Rainbow's stuff, sounds great.

107 The Loon has been playing RJD since I started listening a half hour ago. Actual requests from listeners who call in and their thoughts, views & even meetings with Ronnie.

Funny. As I type this now they are playing juke box hero. smirk

The Boneyard channel on Sirius has live phone interviews with former band members of RJD plus music. They are playing some very recent stuff with his latest group Heven & He11. Still sounds pretty good. I assume these songs had been released in the last couple year. A little slower but some great/good old RJD. smile

Eddie Trump does a great show. smile

The following of rock/metal stars he has that wait to get a chance to be able to talk on his show is crazy. Funny as much as I have been a fan and listen to sat. radio, I did not know RJD had just released music while under going kemo.

What I have read is he died at home with his close family. I have lived that and it must have been tough.

LIMIT I have Sirus through DN also. I had them way back when put my dual reciever in my garage for some tvs I have their. After the fact I found out I had Sirus. Since then 99.9% of the usage in the garage is just for Sirus. When radio just plane sucks and the CD/MP3 collection is getting old, sat. radio is all I listen to while working outside or in the garage.

Well I guess I took it as at home and maybe he had a home in LA? I figure if he had died in a hospital the name would have been published and I would have caught wind of it being in MN. But I had no clue he was even being treated in Roch....

Heck, I just did a google about him & Rainbow a week or so back and never saw anything about him being close to death.

I found out because his wife reported that he was undergoing his chemo at Mayo, it was quoted on Wiki, and it was off his site when they reported the cancer awhile back.

Wiki=Fiction

That was off his HSOforum, which his wife was updating while he was sick. I understand you don't want to do a college term paper off info you get off wikipedia, but its not all made up

    • got this tackled today took about 3 hours to get both sides done. Didnt even get to use a torch....   Thought I was golden with just jacking it up and I could get to everything but no luck. Had to remove the entire axle hub and brake assembly to get to what I needed. Was a pain but still better then taking off the entire pivot arm.    Axle bearings were already greased and in great shape thankfully. Got both leaf springs installed and its ready for the road again.   Probably going to have my electric brakes checked, I am not touching anything with the brake drums. Based on what I saw it doesn't look like my electric brakes have been working anyway. Brakes are nice to have if its slippery out
    • By The way that didn't work either!! Screw it I'll just use the cellular. 
    • It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.
    • 😂 yea pretty amazing how b o o b i e s gets flagged, but they can't respond or tell me why I  can't get logged in here on my laptop but I can on my cellular  😪
    • I grilled some brats yesterday, maybe next weekend will the next round...  
    • You got word censored cuz you said        B o o b ies….. haha.   Yeah, no… grilling is on hiatus for a bit.
    • Chicken mine,  melded in Mccormick poultry seasoning for 24 hours.  Grill will get a break till the frigid temps go away!
    • we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.
