Dio slamming Viv

[Ralph E.]

It's a shame, it really is.

Gotta side with Dio on this one from everything i've read and heard over the years.

In a perfect world Viv would still be kicking ass in Dio (or something similiar), Jake would still be kicking ass with Ozzy (or something similiar), Randy would be alive...

Funny how life takes these fucked up turns and it's sad to realize the magic that was created back then is gone.

Viv burned that bridge years ago with all the crap he's said about Dio. This is the only time I have seen Dio retaliate. Screw Viv.

I dont think hes got issues. I think hes got a legit beef. Vivs been slamming him for years publicly. Dio wouldnt do that. This was a taped conversation by some fan who brought up a sore subject. I thought he handled it ok. Its actually very cool of him to sign all that stuff. And hes civil and talks to the fans, seems ok to me.

Vivian rocked it with Dio, not sure what's up with that feud.

I cannot think of one really distinguishing guitar part Viv has done since he tore it up on We Rock, The Last In Line, I Speed at Night, etc.

VC seems to have made a career out of slagging off Dio, and saying how much he hates playing metal. Bollocks to him and the spent force that is Def Leppard.

I didn't realize Dio hates Viv so much. Wow. Guy has issues. But I'd like to hear the whole story. Anyone???
