Off: Dio

[DRider]

VEHEMENTLY - great word  ")

don't get me wrong here Bob!
I would love to hear him give it a shot
but dig out those old DP records
and then Rainbow Rising
put it to the test
the word is RANGE
Gillan is great! -one of THE greatest
What I am saying takes nothing away from that
just not so sure he's STILL got the pipes......
short sited...........?
reminds me of those football replays
"you make the call ")

 - back in the day...... probably....
tough to say now though..........

maybe one of the reasons
some of ya'll flame the elf so much is because
he packs a pretty good punch
lil' demon he is...

of the 2 vocalists.....
Gillan is superior overall
as much as I like the song Stargazer
I would much rather hear Highway Star

I am just sayin -  give DIO his do!
none of those who bash him
could hit the notes that he does
none of you have been on the stage w/ Iommi, Cozy or Blackmore
nothing even remotely close
arms all worn in your chairs.....

and as far as the "queer" remarks about Halford
a) he has more talent in his shoe than Gillan or Dio
b) at 52 years old - he STILL has a better voice than both of them combined
c) an intelligent man would NEVER have the guts to make such (homophobic)
    remarks to his face

a (narrow) mind is a terrible thing to taste

take the skinheads bowling.......

Into The Pit!

Dragon Rider

PS  Never Say Die and Johnny Blade are great songs!
       2 songs out of 17 total - save your breath

PPS    SARDONIC - now - there's a word  ")

wow do i have to VEHEMENTLY DISAGREE with you here.
it's certainly Dio's song, but i would LOVE to hear Gillan's take on it....
'No way!!' seems a bit short-sighted...
just my opinion
