I hope I can rock this f-ing hard when I'm 65 - Ronnie James Dio and "Heaven and Hell"

Dio - age 65 in this video (Paul McCartney is just a couple weeks older)
Tony Iommi - age 59
Geezer Butler - age 58

Vinnie Appice is the young one at age 47.

And to think that my mother, in her 50s, thought she was too old to ride a bicycle.

1. RJD kicks ass

always has, always will.

:thumbsup:

[Rabrrrrrr]

2. Damn right!

He stands, a powerful and all-consuming giant, unscathed and waist-deep in the blood of nu-metal wankers.

And Iommi does, too.

9. He stands waist-deep in your typical puddle

:hide:

[Rabrrrrrr]

3. And a version of "Computer God" that will leave you sweltering with bliss

5. Lemmy from Motorhead is still kicking ass in his 60's too.

And the two guys in Nomeansno, my fave, are in their mid fifties and jam out the punk as good as anyone.

6. Dio kicks fucking ass!

:headbang:

[Rabrrrrrr]

7. Rock on, dude!

Totally!!

I saw him live many times in the 80s - always an incredible show. And even now, 20+ years later, he's still kicking ass.

11. "You're too old to rock!! No more rockin for you!!"

"We're takin you to a home!
"But we will write a song about yooouu!"

"And we will be sure that your very well taken care of; you'll teach us secrets that you've learned."


"Your sauce will mix with ours; together we can make a good goulash, baby!
"DIO, time to go; you must give your cape and scepter...TO ME"

"and a smaller one for KG, GO!"

- Tenacious D

13. Dio is great!

I remember when he took over the pipes for Black Sabbath and then went solo!
