Mourn now, but once you pass unto the next plane you shall be grateful that Ronnie James is there to guide you up onto the rooftops of hell. Here's hoping you've earned it.
I saw Dio a few years back. He was opening up for the Scorpions & Deep Purple. The others bands seemed like they were just up there for their paycheck but he was still rocking out!
I wish I could be there with my sound system to fry whatever's left of the brains of these sad fuckers with Live Evil at full blast: http://www.metalinjection.net/fueds/whackjob-baptist-church-protest-dios-memorial-service
It's about sharing hard to find and special recordings. It's not about taking anything away from the artists themselves. Of course if something is in print and you like it, buy it. If you have legitimate claim to something posted here and want it removed, just write me and I'll do so. It's definitely not about furthering any sort of political agenda, you might find some things here that you don't agree with. The views of the bands are their own and don't necessarily reflect my ideology or political views. Of course comments and suggestions are welcomed, but don't be hurt if they aren't responded to or taken. I will do my absolute best to be accomidating. Want to contact me? Do it here:

please put "cosmic hearse" in the subject heading.The main thing to remember is to enjoy the music and share the site with friends. Thanks for riding in the Cosmic Hearse.---Aesop

"liveevil" was my introduction to this great man via cassette in a K-Mart.
"If your circle stays unbroken, your a lucky man"
indeed.

This is no rumor. It was confirmed by his wife that Ronnie is, in fact, dead.
Rest In Peace, oh Holy Diver.
Such an incredible voice. Metal wouldn't be the same without him... in fact, it might not be at all. Such a great talent, until the end.
He ended a lot of shows with We Rock, I think it's only appropriate here:
We pray to someone
But when it's said and done
It's really all the same
With just a different name
So many voices
All giving choices
If we listen they will say
Oh, we can find the way
But we'll sail on, sing a song, carry on
Cause We Rock...
\m/
Gotta say I never though cancer would beat Dio.
Horns up everyone.
he will be missed very much.
i'm pretty damn bummed out about this.

This was crummy news. The man was just plain awesome in every respect.
Words like 'legend' and 'icon' are banded around far too much nowadays, but when it comes to Dio, all hyprebole is put aside.
A great loss. He will be remembered
Well said MAGMA. Farewell DIO.
Goodbye, Dio. You were the best.
Listening to 'Heaven and Hell' right now.
Fuck. This man's voice was a monolith of confidence and focused devotion.
Onto the Silver Mountain with you Dark Prince.
The Lord will Judge Dio, and Judge him, the BEST.
