Whats with the picture of gaylord attached to this article?
Yeeeeeeeesssssssssssss!!!
Will be there at the first night in Glasgow!!

I love Rhea Pearlmann…
Why does everyone always have to refer to the Great Man’s size ? He is rightly revered for his voice and the great bands and albums he’s played with and sung on, and yet we as his fans have to perpetually suffer even excellent publications like Classic Rock demeaning him through these childish references.
Indeed, nobody goes on about Josh Homme and he’s a fucking giant!!
FANTASTIC NEWS,DOES THIS ROCK LEGEND EVER STOP.BOOKED MY LONDON TICKETS AND CANT WAIT TO SEE THE GREAT MAN AND HIS GREAT BAND IN ACTION.
Not seen him since 84 on the last in line tour when he threw a fit when someone grabbed his mic lead
I wish Bon Scott were still around. Call him small jerky..
Voice unsullied and unchanged. Respect.
can’t believe I’ve found that out at random .. no Dio fan club email, no ticketmaster alert ?! yet, great news, glad I did find out, and can’t wait till november !!!
Why is there no Newcastle date ?…..Again!!!
Lets hope he plays stargazer please.
I saw him live in May 2008 in Brum and it was a fantastic show. No sabbath or Rainbow tracks giving more room for other solo Dio tracks apart from the usual ones.
Hope he does that on the November tour. Please play stuff from Strange Highways and Dream Evil.
hey Ronnie why don’t you pay us another visit here in Greece after your british tour?
Yeah, the size thing is offensive!
so who’s in his band these days?
Hopefully, there will be a Dio reunion at some point in the future:
Ronnie on vocals, both Vivian Campbell and Craig Goldy on guitars, ‘funky’ Claude Schnell on keyboards, Jimmy Bain on bass and Vinnie Appice on drums.
