History
Right after Dio and Appice had quit Black Sabbath, they
formed their own band, titled Dio already from the
beginning. Despite the name, the band was not meant to be
Ronnie James Dio's solo project, but a whole band.
They travelled together to England to search guitarist and
bassist for the band. After three days of wandering around
the clubs, Dio remembered Jimmy Bain from his Rainbow days,
got in touch with him and asked him to join Dio. Bain
agreed to join and the band kept on searching a guitar
player. Dio wanted a British guitarist and Bain recommended
two to Dio; namely John Syk More...
Review about Dio ... | Reviewer: Anonymous
------ About the song My Eyes performed by Dio
I love it when Dio uses the titles of songs from his past in his lyrics. Falling Off the Edge of the World, Man on a Silver Mountain, Heaven and Hell, and Stargazer are all referenced here and it's awesome.
Phenomenal Song/CD | Reviewer: Rob
------ About the song Night People performed by Dio
I was quite late in discovering Dio's "Dream Evil", but when I did I was blown away. This is one of Dio's best lineups: Dio/Goldy/Schnell/Appice. Excellent songwriting and playing alike. If you are a Blackmore/Rainbow fan, this song and disc will appeal to you in many ways. I think this is the first CD with Craig Goldy in the band. His playing is inspired and fresh. It's obvious that he is heavily influenced by Ritchie Blackmore, but he defineatly has his own unique style. I would venture to say that this disc is right in there with "Killing the Dragon" and "Magica".
