Dio: Dreamers Never Die

I loved this documentary and loved Ronnie very much. He treated me so well over the years and always treated me like family.

There was nobody like him and there will never be anyone who can replace him. He was truly magical and was a master at his craft.

I was saddened to see Scott Warren, Ronnie's keyboard player, was not included in the documentary. Scott should have been included! He was a part of Ronnie's band and family just like all the other band members were.

I'm not sure who's decision it was to cut him or not include him, but it was a poor choice, and I'm sure, very hurtful to Scott.

This film is a warm, funny and wonderful tribute to the greatest voice in rock history. A man whose voice never faltered and whose enormous stage personality was only surpassed by his love of music and his fans - the latter being comprised of both average Joes as well as all those musicians that grew up in Ronnie's shadow.

For the general viewer it tells the tale of the legendary vocalist that managed to reach the pinnacle of success in three of the best rock bands of the 20th century. But it also contains a lot of footage and details that will keep the hardcore fans glued at the screen.

The passionate and enigmatic character that was Ronnie James Dio comes back to life as you watch the film, as does the pain of his passing in the end. It is a film that should be watched by everyone that likes rock and metal.

It's a magnificent tribute to Ronnie James Dio. To me, he is the best metal vocalist ever!

Don Argott & Demian Fenton did it again.

It was so well-directed and greatly balanced. I recommend this to every fan of his or anyone else!

To me, it's among the top 5 music documentaries ever.

His career was examined almost excellently. Even me that I have everything that he had released, has some tips to learn.

Wish there was some talks about his come back era in Black Sabbath which leads to "Dehumanizer" release, his previous wife and his agnosticism.

Wish there were more metal musicians behaving like him.

8.5/10.

Merely for the headstuck diofans and all their offspring that have had to grow up in the musical sphere, a realm of mystique and immortal balanced and executed vocals, all from crib to death. I got the news of ronnie james dios death at an ironmaiden gig, and that sent shivers through the crowd.

I remember the allmost fearsome intros to the ''holy diver'' and ''dont talk to strangers'' cause they were only there to do YOU harm, they are just sensational those songs, the rest got drown for my part in all the other 80's music, but i still get the sting each tme i hear dios voice.

So if you like heavy metal music with loads of riff raff repetition then this documentary is for you, the grumpy old man recommends highly.

This documentary was extremely well put together.

The interview subjects couldn't have been better chosen, the subjects broached were all relevant and interesting, and the ending was a fitting tribute.

The music that we have from RJD is never going away and for that I am grateful.

But as far as documenting the different eras of his importance, this movie does it and does it well.

From his days doing doo-wop (that may not be what it accepts is, but that's what I'm calling it), through his time attempting to still make music that people cared about in an era of grunge and then nu-metal, he obviously gave it everything he had.

Hail the horns! \m/
