So good for so such a long time. Rest in peace, Ronnie.

Dont know him and think the site shoudnt post anything if its not related to chess, because it gets biased.

Music is a completely different issue. Will the site announce if someone's favourite musician, religious leader, racing driver, or anything like dies? Probably not. I respect the fans, and they're completely right to mourn their idol, but I completely disagre with this being noticed in the headlines of a chess website.

He had songs of wildebeests and angels.  He has soared on the wings of a demon.

RIP, Dio.

rip dio, hope you met Alekhine or Capa and started learn chess (or metallizing them)

rip

FUUUUUUUUUUCK!!!! im about to cry, it wasnt a metal band at all, but they where awsome!!! god! rest in peace dio and music speak for you!

Today, my heart is saddened as I hear of this terrible loss. Dio will live forever in the hearts of his fans and in the music and lyrics he once sang, we will miss you, Dio, keep it heavy in Heaven.

its

the world is full of kings and queens, who blind your eyes and steal your dreams

The stuff he did with Rainbow was amazing, Stargazer stands out especially for me as not just a great song but one where his chops were so on display. Also, Last in Line from his solo/band Dio was a great display of his voice.  I shouldn't overlook his ballads either, like Temple of the King.

The one lyric he sang that screams out like a bucket of truth is "the world is full of kings and queens, they'll blind your eyes and steal your dreams". 

Man the guy could sing.

 He  will never die!! A great singer like him gave us lots of good music forever!!!!!

Who was this chap. I never heard of him

Oh they say that's over
And it just had to be
Oh that say, that's o-o-over
For lost children of the sea

Look out! The sky is falling down
Look out! The world is spinning round and round and round
Look out! The sun is going black, black
Look out! It's never never never coming back

Look out!

R.I.P Ronny James Dio..

Very sad loss.

"Horns up"...he'll always be remebered as long as heavy metal and his symbol exists. R.I.P. Dio, keep the good music in Heaven...

There's no sign of the morning coming
There's no sight of the day
You've been left on your own
Like a Rainbow in the Dark

RIP

R.I.P Ronnie. A lot of legends are passing away this year, not only in the chess world...

I hope Ronny Dio will have a taste for the angelic chorus and that his hard rock sound can blend.
