Very sad as Ronnie was one of the good guys of heavy metal.
Rest in Peace Ronnie.
He invented (or his grandmother actually) or started the whole Devil horns or heavy metal peace sign.

He was my gf's cousin. I personally never met him, but she said he was one of the most down to earth people she's ever known. He never let "rockstardom" get to him, like most do.

I agree. My favorite song on the album is Holy Diver. Thats one of those albums that is constantly in my car's cd changer along with some old Pantera.

Dio

I couldn't believe it either when I saw the news on my yahoo page last night . I couldn't believe he was this old and thinking He's around the same age as Ozzy Osbourne. I liked his stuff with Black Sabbath and the song " Rainbow In The Dark " .

Heard about it today on the radio at work, they played a bunch of his music, it was sad, loved that guy. Heard he was great in concert and I never got to see him.
