how nice was dio exactly?

im a huge fan of his music from rainbow to his solo career but i dont really watch interviews or documentaries at all.

he seems nice but im not sure if he was actually a good person, i only remember someone saying he crashed out on an interviewer after he took a jab at his height which is a very justifiable response so thats fine.

and in some of his concerts he holds up fanart and things the crowd throws at him which is i guess a good sign since he i showing appreciation to his fans.

but can someone genuinely tell me if he had some big really bad controversies or something?

also sorry if the post isnt that understandable im not a native english speaker.

RAINBOW (1978) Long Live Rock 'n' Roll [2026 Full Album Remix & Remaster]

My stem remix & remaster of Rainbow's 1978 album "Long Live Rock 'n' Roll", made for my own enjoyment, but sharing in case someone else might enjoy it.

This is only for fun and intends to be a very respectful remix, not straying too far away from the original version, only aiming at a little more clarity, instrument separation and punch, while still preserving the mood and feel of the original.

Obviously, I don't own the music featured here. If you like the music, support the artists. Buy their records!

Dio's cousin David Feinstein commissions mural honoring Ronnie in his hometown

This photo was posted by drummer Carl Canedy (The Rods) showing the mural that Dave and his wife Denise commissioned. The mural is on the outer wall of The Hollywood Restaurant, which Dave has owned and operated since 1984, in Ronnie's and Dave's hometown of Cortland, NY.

For those who might not know, the final recorded studio performance by Ronnie was as a guest vocalist on the song "The Code" on The Rods' 2011 album "Vengeance."

Carl said in the post (in part):

"I believe Cortland has been less than supportive of the mega accomplishments that Hometown boy, Ronnie James Dio, amassed in his amazing career. Now when people visit Cortland and excitedly ask directions to DIO WAY, only to be underwhelmed by a simple street sign, No plaque, sign or statue to commemorate Ronnie's career. I applaud DAVID and Denise for spending their own money to commission this amazing tribute to Ronnie. The mural pays tribute to DIO, Elf and The Rods."

Dio - Egypt (The Chains are On) / Children of the Sea (Live in NYC)

In the land of the lost horizon

Where the queen lies dark and cold

And when the stars won't shine

Then the story's told

LOOK OUT! The sky is falling down!

LOOK OUT! The world is spinning round and round and round!

LOOK OUT! The sun is going black, black

LOOK OUT! It's never never never coming back, LOOK OUT!
