R.I.P. Heroes of Rock

[Dave]

A hero of gaming metalheads everywhere.

A real god amongst men.

Ronnie James Dio lost his battle with cancer today, 16th May 2010.

Rest in Peace, dude.

[Opan]

The true king and founder of power metal. Rest in peace holy diver.

[SD89MAC]

He will be missed.

As (one of the) resident metalhead(s) i can only say that Gene Simmons probably tried to claim the rights to his funeral.

Awesome man.

[kalvingp30fan]

I am very sad now.

There is nothing standing in Gene Simmons way to patent the devilhorns anymore


Also, RIP Dio, you will be missed.

Good point. Let's try to stop him from doing that. Best way most probably is to simply kill him. We'd do a favour to the world that way, too.

[Bad Hair Day]

First Pete Steele, now Dio.

Not a good time for music.

RIP

May he rest in peace, that short little man. His career spanned 53 years. 1957-2010. It's a shame to see him go since, only two months ago, he was talking about soon returning to touring with Heaven & Hell. Cancer is one hell of an illness...

Cancer is one hell of an illness...

One of the most insidious....

Not a good time for everything, this is an entire year of bad luck...

And today, Paul Gray.
Sure, not everyone likes Slipknot, but still.

[Dave]

Thread title changed in reference to news.

Heartbreaking - love em or hate em, he was a hero of the bass guitar world and he died far, far too young.

[Dreamcatcher]

Looks like a certain baptist church consisting primarily of 1 familly is causing some more contreversy!

They plan to protest Dio's funeral calling him a devil worshiper and leading people to hedonistic satanic ways...

Will they ever give up?

[Chrill]

Oh no, now the WBC. They hate Sweden because homosexual marriages are legal. Now this? Come on

[SkeedR]

As a christian I would just like to say that the WBC do not represent the christian community at large. Atleast, they certainly don't represent me at all.

RIP Dio and Gray, may you be able to rock on in the heavens *edited for wtfthereisnoemo*
