God is dead on Website of Ronnie James Dio's wife Wendy is known that the rock singer early Sunday morning at 7:45 clock died of cancer. That is incredible. His death not only makes the heavy metal fans in the world of orphans, who touches the very foundations of this music. For Dio, who established himself as lead singer of rock giants such as Rainbow (1974-78), Black Sabbath (1978-81) and achieved legendary status as a solo artist and the horned fist as a trademark - even if Gene Simmons of Kiss always denied this - was not only something like the father figure of this movement, he was the embodiment of the metal. And how can the metal die yourself? How can a man die on the Canadian garage-blues rockers Danko Jones once said he sang as if he had not just two but three eggs? How can a man die, and although the body size of just over five feet is all in the shadow - with the voice of a giant? He can not. He will live on in his music and in the hearts of all who heard him once seen or met in person. In August 2004 I had
the privilege. Dio played in Substage, a small club in Karlsruhe to his career it was not the best at that time. Before the concert he gave me for the respective local newspaper an interview in the hotel, which developed after a short time into a happy chat. I recalled that he had appeared almost to the day twenty years before the Monsters of Rock in the Karlsruhe Wildparkstadion. Before 45 000 spectators at that time also played Mötley Crüe, Accept, Gary Moore, Ozzy Osbourne, Van Halen and AC / DC. Because of the riots after the concert, including the legend was raised by a tram from the tracks, rock concerts were banned for years by the city fathers. Dio immediately fell into raptures: "That was great, such an occupation would you get for a festival no longer together. In the party tent behind the stage, there was a huge brawl "Turning to the tour manager." And that was not the day as Ozzy Osbourne this type are sleeping eyebrows shaved added "" No, "he replied laughing," he only? tries. "From resentment about the fact that his great Success had passed, was with Dio no trace. Going to the question of what motivates him after so many years on the stage, he said: "Financially, I could sit for a long time to rest. But what should I sit around at home? I have not learned to repair televisions, but to sing in front of people. That's what I do. In the evening he played in front of a freaking audience the best concert I've ever seen in this club. He then invited me and my girlfriend backstage for a few beers and thanked him very kindly, that she had bared her breasts, "has done this a long time, no one." At some point he disappeared with a smile and stretched up "Mano Cornuto. Last Ronnie James Dio was the re-united under the name Heaven and Hell Black Sabbath very successful, now he is gone forever. He was 67 years old.
Naxhtrag: On Saturday I was back in Substage, I played a gig with my old band The Starfuckers to the old Substage, which moves to new premises, to pay their last respects. Of course, was celebrated vigorously and then I came home, when it was already light, there lay dying Ronnie James Dio, especially in.
