Dio slamming Viv

[OUTLAW1969]

I am not suprised at all, and in my opinion Viv deserves it. Dio gave Vivian his first big break, and now he wants to talk smack about Ronnie? No doubt that Viv is a great player, and probably would have "made his mark" elsewhere in music eventually. But that is just tacky in my opinion to talk smack about the guy that gave you a shot at touring the world at such a young age.

What he said, but with more swearwords!

Shob does an awesome cover of the classic "Rob Mules". He puts a nice lyrical spin about Rob Halford and a Mule..It's genuis! Rob plays himself, and Sharon Osborne plays the mule. Shobet plays all intruments including the tuba, kazoo, mouth harp, ect.. Rob sings, while hitting the cowbell with his pud. Brad Gillis does a cameo solo..where his whammy bar in lodged in Sharon's balloon knot ..Brad then slaps her ass making his famous cricket noises..

This was Dio and Shob's idea. To raising money for Nad replacement for married dudes..who sold their vettes, amps, guitars, and guns for minivans and baby strollers.
Also to put nads back into Vivian Cambell's sack, so he won't be afraid of the guitar anymore, but he declined. That's why Dio is mad.

He's only 2'4"

Damn, sho...drinking so early? Or still drunk from last night?

[shobet]

and anyone as big as he

He's only 2'4"

Dio seems to have a lot of enemies in the Metal crowd. He slagged on Ozzy way worse than Viv ever slagged on him. Personally I think Dio's a douche

This is not a good start, I think. I haven't met Dio personally, but I have heard plenty of good things about him, and anyone as big as he, that takes the time he does with fans is a class act. I've had the privelege of meeting other stars, some perfect a-holes, and some you wouldn't expect were great. I would love to meet Dio, and I certainly wouldn't waste his time with nonsense.

No Ozzy just dribbles a lot.
If you look carefully at the pic, the little pixie on the left is Great Uncle Ronnie. The picture is dated 1883. So he's looking well for his years.

RJD is only metal because his hips are made of titanium.

You're confusing him with that other Sabbath singer, Ozzy. :ROTF:

Ok, I have a couple points to make out......ok, to the hijackers debate:
Thru the 80's I saw Def Lep every time they came thru town....and although they were good, it was basically a pop-rock show to go to pick up big haired scantily clad hot slutty 80's chicks. I don't care about album sales and I don't know the legistics, but I also went to every Crue show that came thru as well. Musically, they were better, put on a better show, had better looking, sluttier chicks in the crowd and although they did get poppy, there were always those songs with an edge as well........so from expierience.....history tells me, Crue owns them.

I believe you mean BRITNY FOX

they are actually a pretty damn good band in their own right, but no, not metal.

one bad who should be called metal? Skid Row, If Pantera opens for you, you ain't no pansy-ass pop band ala Jovi

Britny Fox! There’s a name that brings back memories. They used to be regulars at The Empire Rock Club here in Philadelphia. The booking agent at the Empire wasn’t too bright because he sometimes booked them with thrash bands. Every time Britny Fox stopped playing, half of the crowd mercilessly heckled them, and the band just stood there with this “What The Fuck” look on their face, but they never said anything back. It was kinda hilarious though because people kept yelling shit at them through their whole set, and no one could stop it. It’s funny how things go around in a circle though. I remember the mid’90s when thrash started to become obsolete. In fact, it started to become a dirty word. If you even mentioned an ’80s thrash band in some Death Metal circles you could get lynched or laughed out of the room. I didn’t mind though. I guess I understood what was going on. I still like both genres.

I remember some of those nights, actually, for those who don't know, Cinderella came out of the Empire first, and Mike and the original drummer from Britny were the original players for Cinderella, but the label said they "didn't fit the look" so they were shown the door that's where Fred Coury and Jeff Labar came in. Britny Fox was formed immediately after and it did not take long for them to get signed after that, so there really weren't too many of those nights you spoke of. Billy Childs is a good friend of mine and the rest of my band. He actually played with us for a couple years, and is one of the coolest motherfuckers you'd ever meet I can guarantee that for sure. And yes, I know the Heaven's Edge guys too.....lol Reggie is an amazing player for sure.

Ok back to the real topic here......Vivian is a douchebag...end of story.
Dio is a great guy, plus his niece, although she has a butterface is a great slutty pornstar named Gen Padova....check her out.

Damn skippy they're a metal band, they just got caught up in the Glam bandwagon 'cos of the catchy hooks in the songs. ( And the fact that everybody's girlfriend fancied Seb Bach...)
Slave To The Grind is one of the all-time great metal albums

fucking a, no one sang with more balls than Baz

I know what you mean, I'll crank a good Whitesnake song then Crank Testament, a good song is a good song

Coverdale did an excellent job on Deep purple's "burn" album. I really liked the MK2 line up, but I think Coverdale managed to fill Ian Gillan's shoes. It's one of my favs. White Snake had a lot of good stuff too. That song "Still of the Night" rocks.
