VH1 Classic's Dedicated To Dio 2010 

I really miss this show!

the only initials i wear on my skin, heard him first on a birthdayparty with 15, minutes later i knew i will listen to this voice for the rest of my live, and here we are. 33years later, not one day i was bored of his music. so much to discover, elf, rainbow, black sabbath, dio etc.etc

amen!

I was at that show in West Palm! Floor Tickets! Great Show! Ronnie at his best and the Huge Robotic Spider..Amazing!!!

The Gez bringing it up now long after Ronnie passed away makes me lose the respect cause Dio is not here to comment. Gez didn't do it first other people did it first. I doubt Dio asked Gez what that symbol was as Gez proclaimed. I believe he did saw his grandmother doing it when he was a kid. I also believe he used it a bit in Rainbow in videos and pictures I have seen, so why Gez said that..I just don't know! I know I saw Gez doing it in the ozzy years but that don't mean much. Coven did it, John Lenon did it, Frank Zappa did it! But with all that being said.. Dio made it Fashionable in Heavy Metal and not Nobody else🤘

I don't buy that . Myself my great aunt did the Mallochio but as Mano cornuto telling me some stories . I am european , im not italo american at all , im native nizzardo from a Piemontese family . Geezer took it from occult books but Italian tradition , and more specificly in the begining Sicilian superstitions before spawning in all peninsula , are the source . Ronnie grew up in that extraction .. Not geezer . Love geezer , but saying he showed the mallochio ( or Maloik as it elvolved from dialect on the way on the US ) to Ronnie is as senil than Purdie saying he played on 21 songs from the beatles instead of Ringo

Gezzer didn't invent anything and Eddy made a mistake saying Dio invented it, Dio popularized and made it the symbol of Heavy Metal bc of how much he did it. I believe he used it once in Rainbow. John Lenon and Jinx from Coven did it too before Ronnie but who cares? Dio not once has said he did it first but he does take credit for making it fashionable in Metal Culture and Nobody can take that away from him.🤘
