i bet those 8-track tapes with him and his band are going to be worth a mint now (i have 6 of them) its a shame he's gone but he is not suffering any more

Wow, 67. I didn't know he was that old. I've never been into metal/proto metal, but I'd have guessed he was /approaching/ 60, not well past it.

I think he started in the 60's.

I was gonna be upset over this, first Heroes now Dio...glad Dio's not gone....yet?

okay...this blows. Dio was a beast, and an innovator in the industry. RIP dude

He was great in Jack Black's movie, the Pick of Destiny, even though it was a small bit.

I read the godhatesfags group is going to be picketing Dio's public funeral.
