PowerKnight « Sun May 27, 2012 3:02 pm » We Brits have to take advantage when we get hot weather and everyone go`s nuts, to us it`s become like a little paradise we know will not last!

TeRRy « Sat May 26, 2012 9:32 pm » You can have that heat. It's about 93 here and I am not going near the outside today.

PowerKnight « Sat May 26, 2012 8:27 pm » At last we going through a heatwave here in the UK, stripped off down to my shorts lounged all day and get a tan...a real one not that phoney fake one!

admiral panther « Thu May 24, 2012 11:13 pm » live evil and radio city music hall and inferno say it all, 3 of my favorites

PowerKnight « Thu May 24, 2012 8:12 pm » I always go for the live Heaven and Hell version over the stuDio cut, Ronnie`s ad libbing and improvisations took the track into another dimension along with Iommi`s guitar work etc.

admiral panther « Sat May 19, 2012 5:39 pm » SOMETHING IS EVIL DOWN THERE, HE SAW SOME TROUBLE UP THERE AND WARNED US

admiral panther « Sat May 19, 2012 5:35 pm » & BACK TO EARTH PK

PowerKnight « Fri May 18, 2012 2:53 pm » Come with me and I`ll give you desire...but first you have to burn, burn, burn in fire...Ronnie took us all into Heaven and Hell...brilliant improvisations.

admiral panther « Fri May 18, 2012 2:36 pm » BURN MY FRIEND BURN

admiral panther « Fri May 18, 2012 2:35 pm » CHILD OF THE SEA AND GRAVE

admiral panther « Fri May 18, 2012 2:34 pm » THE ORIGINAL NEON KNIGHT

PowerKnight « Fri May 18, 2012 11:42 am » Two years have now passed but Ronnie James DIO will remain eternal in mind spirit body and form, the legacy will be infinite and we were all very lucky to have caught him in our generation.

admiral panther « Thu May 17, 2012 6:12 pm » CANT COMPLAIN MYSELF

admiral panther « Thu May 17, 2012 6:11 pm » HEY PK THANKS, HOPE THE SAME

PowerKnight « Thu May 17, 2012 6:00 pm » Hi AP, hope you are keeping well there and everyone here.

admiral panther « Thu May 17, 2012 6:00 pm » SABBATH PARANOID NOW

PowerKnight « Thu May 17, 2012 5:59 pm » Busy boards and busy traffic...great guys it`s nice to know the site is being used with plenty of topics and posts.

admiral panther « Thu May 17, 2012 5:49 pm » SOUNDS GOOD, YOU INSPIRE ME TO PLAY

Anita « Thu May 17, 2012 5:47 pm » My bass and am should be here today. I got the cable yesterday and today liberated my guitar strap from a guitar hero controller. I can't wait to get my rock on \m/

admiral panther « Thu May 17, 2012 4:33 pm » ALSO NO FLOODING THE BOARD NOW I REMEMBER

admiral panther « Thu May 17, 2012 4:30 pm » FLOYD IS GOOD MOURNING MUSIC, I NEED THAT TODAY TOO

admiral panther « Thu May 17, 2012 4:26 pm » JUDAS PRIEST, BRITISH STEEL FANTASTIC

admiral panther « Thu May 17, 2012 3:24 pm » RIP RONNIE YOU ARE MISSED HERE

Randy Rhoads « Thu May 17, 2012 2:26 pm » Very hard to believe it's been 2 years. Spent most of yesterday listening to Dio.

PowerKnight « Thu May 17, 2012 12:25 pm » Two years now gone...they say time is a healer but it`s still difficult to take in even when it reaches many more, RIP...RJD...the finest of them all.

Anita « Thu May 17, 2012 12:47 am » I just walked outside and there was a rainbow out back

Anita « Thu May 17, 2012 12:39 am » Yeah it goes in a blink *sigh* \m/ \m/

Vegetaman « Wed May 16, 2012 11:19 pm » Two years already? Man...

DragonMaster « Wed May 16, 2012 10:02 pm » Hard to think that it has been 2 years since that horrible day where we lost our best friend. R.I.P. Ronnie xyourock

Anita « Wed May 16, 2012 5:02 pm » Playing music has been one of the things I've missed terribly over the years and I will get that back tomorrow

admiral panther « Wed May 16, 2012 1:11 pm » PLAY EVERY DAY

admiral panther « Wed May 16, 2012 1:11 pm » IT GOT ME THROUGH DRUGS

admiral panther « Wed May 16, 2012 1:09 pm » 35 YEARS, NEVER TOO LATE

Anita « Tue May 15, 2012 11:42 pm » I tried playing guitar about 4 years ago. I just couldn't get my left hand to contort to chords definitely something that i shoulda started playing when I was younger

PowerKnight « Tue May 15, 2012 9:03 pm » I once had a stab of playing guitar from a friend who played in a band doing his own material and covers but as I was younger I got distracted into the hendonistic life of youth, pity I did`t stick at it!

Anita « Tue May 15, 2012 7:51 pm » My gear should be here sometime Thursday. Tomorrow I'm getting the cord while I'm in town turning in all of the kids' books. I'd had them by now if I'd bought them last Tuesday instead of this past Saturday

admiral panther « Tue May 15, 2012 6:14 pm » stuck with floyd and back, rockin rocky

Anita « Mon May 14, 2012 5:32 pm » Hee hee *blushes* took me a long time to realize that I loved metal after being stuck in pop for like 20 years I'd always liked it just never dove into it until a few years ago missed out on a lot of great music but I'm making up for it now

PowerKnight « Mon May 14, 2012 2:19 pm » It`s always refreshing to have a lady rocker on board...instead of all us macho male metal fanatics!!!

admiral panther « Mon May 14, 2012 11:07 am » YOU ROCK GIRL

Anita « Sun May 13, 2012 6:46 pm » Why yes...yes I am \m/ I home my gear gets to me by Friday this wait is going to be torture!

admiral panther « Sun May 13, 2012 3:57 pm » ANITAS A MEMBER OF THE NOTORIUS INTERNET DIO GANG

admiral panther « Sun May 13, 2012 1:53 pm » I LIKE PLAYING OLD SABBATH ANITA

Anita « Sat May 12, 2012 7:28 pm » *waves* My bass and amp should arrive sometime next week YAY can't wait to play again.

admiral panther « Fri May 11, 2012 11:48 am » *WAVES TO Y'ALL TOO*

Anita « Fri May 11, 2012 5:45 am » Ya click submit and it disappears! Hey Vegetaman! Damn I missed this place. Kiddies will be out of school on the 22nd and then I'm FREEEEE! Oh and I'm looking to get a bass and amp really soon and I can't wait!

Vegetaman « Thu May 10, 2012 11:46 pm » Hey! *waves back*

Anita « Thu May 10, 2012 7:32 pm » Oh forgot how rude *waves to ya'all*

Anita « Thu May 10, 2012 7:31 pm » Sometimes it can get hot here in Colorado. Hopefully I'll be able to be here more often once the kiddies are out of school. Rain I can deal with because we need it snow on the other hand I can do without esp. when it's May we can get to damn near 100 degrees but the hottest it'll get here is in the 90s range

admiral panther « Thu May 10, 2012 6:19 pm » GLAD YOU LIKE IT PK, OUR STARTS SOON

PowerKnight « Thu May 10, 2012 6:02 pm » Still raining here in the UK...it`s lashing down and more for the weekend, lovely.

PowerKnight « Thu May 10, 2012 6:00 pm » Hi Anita where do you live...anywhere in a hot climate?

admiral panther « Thu May 10, 2012 4:59 pm » NICE TO SEE YOU ANITA

admiral panther « Thu May 10, 2012 12:11 pm » OH I LIKE IT NICE AND WARM..

Anita « Thu May 10, 2012 1:50 am » I feel your pain PK last Saturday we had 80 degrees then Monday we had snow and we're getting that again this weekend :( Bring on the warmth damnit!

PowerKnight « Wed May 09, 2012 7:20 pm » Well we are into Spring and guess what guys...it`s p*****g down outside...summer next can`t wait for more rain!!!

admiral panther « Tue May 08, 2012 11:55 am » FINALLY SEPT GOOD, FEELING BETTR

admiral panther « Mon May 07, 2012 8:51 pm » better pk, thank you buddy

PowerKnight « Mon May 07, 2012 8:27 pm » Hi AP you doing alright there buddy?

admiral panther « Mon May 07, 2012 4:44 pm » SOMETIMES IT WORKS SOMETIMES IT DOESNT, HENCE SHORT WRITINGS

admiral panther « Mon May 07, 2012 12:06 pm » HI GUYS, GOOD POSTING

Vegetaman « Sun May 06, 2012 7:43 pm » Posted a guitar tab in the Black Sabbath forum for all you Iommi fans.

PowerKnight « Sun May 06, 2012 7:29 pm » I wonder if we might get another Dio tribute act on the road in some shape or form...I have started to lose count!!!

PowerKnight « Sun May 06, 2012 5:13 pm » Evening all from South Wales here in the UK on a Sunday evening, PK.

admiral panther « Sat May 05, 2012 4:53 pm » IM TAKING YOUR ADVICE PK

PowerKnight « Fri May 04, 2012 6:30 pm » Original Dio line up to re-form...without Ronnie...what another bombshell!!!???

admiral panther « Sat Apr 28, 2012 7:20 pm » Its better than facebook or twitter, I'm toying with Gilmour but not sure its stable yet.

admiral panther « Sat Apr 28, 2012 6:08 pm » If thats ok,

admiral panther « Sat Apr 28, 2012 6:05 pm » Thanks PK, its my home

PowerKnight « Thu Apr 26, 2012 6:18 pm » It`s friggin awesome stuff...Queensryche sometimes described as the thinking man`s heavy metal.

DragonMaster « Wed Apr 25, 2012 6:15 am » I also like Mindcrime 2 but it was not nearly as good as the first. There are a few GREAT songs on that 1st one.

Randy Rhoads « Wed Apr 18, 2012 4:09 pm » Mindcrime is always good, it's right up there for my favorite album of all time.

Vegetaman « Sun Apr 15, 2012 11:25 pm » Ah yes, the fully unplugged show. I have only seen one done live by a band once in person, but they are most spectacular, especially when they take the time to re-arrange the songs accordingly

PowerKnight « Sun Apr 15, 2012 7:19 pm » Playing Queensryche/Operation Mindcrime along with a few other tracks...organised chaos!

PowerKnight « Sun Apr 15, 2012 4:10 pm » Plant/Page have done this in the past and did a superb job on it.

PowerKnight « Sun Apr 15, 2012 4:07 pm » Blackmore and Candice should do a real unplugged live show they have never actually done, we have had a little but not in the real context of what unplugged really should be.

PowerKnight « Sun Apr 15, 2012 4:04 pm » Nice to know Veg you are very observant...Rainbow Eyes wasn`t a very good cover it just wasn`t quite in keeping to the original, far too much messing around and taking the song out of context.

Vegetaman « Sun Apr 15, 2012 3:48 pm » The best Diamonds and Rust cover, IMO, is the one Blackmore's Night did. Their Rainbow Eyes cover was equally quality.

PowerKnight « Wed Apr 11, 2012 5:49 pm » Listening to Diamonds And Rust...the Baez original version...what a song what a vocal what a delivery...the lyrics!

PowerKnight « Mon Apr 02, 2012 5:39 pm » He was complete natural wasn`t he...he was born with that inherent talent and his voice was a gift which cannot be taught but he was born with it.

DragonMaster « Mon Apr 02, 2012 1:24 am » Ronnie had such a GREAT voice, that he should have done an album that was just readings

PowerKnight « Sun Apr 01, 2012 6:59 pm » The actual Magica story is a cross between The Thing and Alien, if anything I find it a little to long but Ronnie`s voice even in ordinary speech mode was sublime.

Vegetaman « Thu Mar 29, 2012 11:14 pm » I have to admit, Magica is one of my favorite albums, but I also love Strange Highways and Killing The Dragon for different reasons. But the Magica story is great from beginning to end.

PowerKnight « Thu Mar 29, 2012 10:08 pm » Magica was the Dio band magnum opus, it`s all in here his blood sweat and tears all his thoughts and emotions ran the gamut, he finally managed to push this one out.

Anita « Thu Mar 29, 2012 9:21 am » The void...the void...the void is ever eternal my heart and soul hurts just couldn't keep it to myself any longer no one around me gets it aside from you all here *hugs*

PowerKnight « Mon Mar 19, 2012 8:15 pm » That`s a valid point we have to take what is left and what new recordings become available,?

Randy Rhoads « Sun Mar 18, 2012 7:03 am » Yeah, those are my feelings as well. I can't wait to hear anything unreleased, but at the same time, it's a shame that he didn't get to complete the project as it was something he had wanted to do for a decade and the first one was great.

TeRRy « Sat Mar 17, 2012 6:47 pm » I agree but at this point we have to take what we can get

PowerKnight « Sat Mar 17, 2012 4:55 pm » Yes I agree, the only problem I have about them is the fact the tracks would have been much more complete sounding in the tapestry of what would have been Magica II and III.

TeRRy « Sat Mar 17, 2012 9:56 am » I have to wonder when those mentioned UNRELEASED songs that were being worked on for Magica 2/3 are going to surface?

admiral panther « Fri Mar 16, 2012 4:55 pm » i am my honeys hun and love it,

admiral panther « Fri Mar 16, 2012 4:54 pm » the world is full of kings and queens who blind your eyes and steal your dreams so im declaring myself atilla the hun.

PowerKnight « Tue Mar 13, 2012 7:32 pm » Playing a lot of Black Sabbath/Heaven and Hell all Dio of course lately...to all the Neon Knights here on board!

admiral panther « Tue Mar 13, 2012 6:00 pm » the world is full of kings and queens who blinde your eyes and steel your dreams, not kidding

admiral panther « Sat Mar 10, 2012 8:27 pm » listened to inferno today thanks to aws recamendation. very nice

PowerKnight « Fri Mar 09, 2012 9:17 pm » Thinking of the great Ronnie James DIO at the moment...the void is deep and his absence is sadly missed...Forever RJD.

PowerKnight « Sun Mar 04, 2012 6:48 pm » Least favourite Dio albums...Lock Up The Wolves and Sacred Heart...was I disappointed when I first bought them on release!

Randy Rhoads « Sun Mar 04, 2012 2:21 am » Angry Machines is my least favorite, but it's grown on me over the years. I don't listen to it often, but it's nice for a change every now and then, some of the songs I really like. I Love the bonus track "God Hates Heavy Metal". Should've been on the US version.

Vegetaman « Sat Mar 03, 2012 10:04 pm » Strange Higways is awesome, but I must admit I rarely listen to Angry Machines.
