Dio is 64?!?!?! :eek:

He doesn't look so bad now, does he? :lol:

Dio fronted Rainbow in his thirties. That man has been around for a long time, and if you listen to his current album, he can still sing his ass off. Dare I commit blasphamy by saying that Sabbath sounded better with him in front of the mic.

It is impossible for him to die. He'll just come back as a piece of steel rebar.

That's not blasphemy - they fired Ozzy for a reason.

There's a website - who's URL I can't remember - where they had recordings of Dio's first working band. From 1959. Seriously.

Eddie's not looking too good, but I really wouldn't expect him to. RJD took some care of himself, and Eddie basically spent twenty years trying to slowly kill himself.

Wow, he looks aged, he can still play though. :agreed:

By the way, Is he still a smoker? Because that certainly doesn't help you look younger, besides after having tounge cancer, I imagine he has quit.

Wow minus some respect points there. I don't care how good of a guitarist he is that's pretty lame.

It's hard to quit for some people. Have you ever seen video of people smoking through those tracheotomy tubes? Scary.

*edit* I agree about Dio in Sabbath. Dehumanizer was a kickass recording.

He had already quit earlier however. Then came back to it. Now, if you just had tongue cancer don't you think you would try getting some help before jumping back on the nicotine wagon? The patch, 12 step program, somethin,

Ed looks bad.
Real bad.
Bad enough for me to remove my 5150 tat bad.

On a high note, did anyone see Pam Anderson at that event? I'm gonna head over to her place for some MILF and cookies.

Oh, and can someone please fucking tell me how MichaelfuckingBolton wakes next up to that hottie every morning? Unreal.

Even though Ed has about 6" on him, Ronnie is deemed metal. Zoot suit or animal skin, w/Sabbath (Mob Rules is a great cut) or with Rainbow or solo...he's all metal, all the time.
Rebar indeed.
