RIDE THE TIGER

Dio's pretty good, but Iron Maiden > all. Maiden rocks so hard it should be illegal. My friend and I call them Black Market Maiden.

BMW//M · 09-22-2011, 09:16 PM

AC/DC FTW.

But Dio's pretty good.

Dio is best on Rainbow's 'Rising' which I think was their second LP.

Going to listen to it now.

I love Dio, but have to agree that Maiden just flat out kills.

I was always amazed at how dynamic Dio's voice was, especially considering the size of the package it was coming out of.

Just a little perspective on this. Photo is from Eddie Trunk's site.

Love Dio music too, but guys sorry for my ignorance but to these day i dont understand the meaning of words "Hold Diver" O_O ?

solefald · 09-26-2011, 02:13 PM

I am more of a Judas Priest fan, but Motorhead, Dio, Accept, Manowar, Iron Maiden, Anthrax, Slayer is what I grew up listening to.

fuck yeah!

Holy Diver is about Revelations 12:9 when satan is cast to earth and the tiger is the beast that comes out of the sea as in Revelations 13:1
