R.I.P. Ronnie James Dio

It's a sad day for heavy metal. May 16th, 2010, Ronnie James Dio passed away. Needless to say I am totally bummed right now. I heard the news Saturday night, then heard it wasn't true... held out hope, but feared the worst since he was diagnosed with stomach cancer last summer. Ronnie James Dio, Dead at 67. You will be missed. Rest In Peace.

USSR Forbidden Rock Bands - 1985

Over 100,000 people turned out for the Moscow Peace Festival in 1989. You think any of them had never heard of these bands before then? More proof that saying 'no' to kids, just makes them want it more.
