00:03:19,324              and they named                  their firstborn "Ronnie."      67 00:03:19,365 --> 00:03:21,868               It was like,                     "This is rock 'n' roll       68

00:04:52,333 --> 00:04:55,712      because it contains words.      99 00:04:55,753 --> 00:04:58,756       You know, he had a message.               He was a messenger.         100 00:04:58,798 --> 00:05:03,052    His message was for the people          that lived regular lives,      101 00:05:03,094 --> 00:05:06,264          had regular dreams               that meant something real.      102

00:05:13,896         Let's go to the bar.            It's my favorite place anyway.    105 00:05:13,938 --> 00:05:17,025      This is his favorite place,                 was the bar.             106 00:05:17,066 --> 00:05:19,652        So I feel his presence                   much more here.           107 00:05:19,694 --> 00:05:21,946           And it's a warm,                    comforting feeling.         108 00:05:21,988 --> 00:05:23,948         Obviously, you've had               a lot of elbows resting       109 00:05:23,990 --> 00:05:25,700                on this                      at one time or another.       110 00:05:25,742 --> 00:05:27,744      We never started with this.     111 00:05:27,785 --> 00:05:29,662        And why should we think          that this should last forever?    112 00:05:29,704 --> 00:05:31,956     I was just as happy, and I'm         sure Wendy was just as happy     113 00:05:31,998 --> 00:05:33,833           before struggling                and being happy together.      114 00:05:33,875 --> 00:05:36,169          I think this is all                very transitory anyway.       115 00:05:36,210 --> 00:05:38,129      It's--It comes and it goes.     116 00:05:38,171 --> 00:05:40,173    I mean, you have ups and downs.             It's like life.           117 00:05:40,214 --> 00:05:43,468     Life goes through great waves           of emotion and passion        118 00:05:43,509 --> 00:05:45,345            and great lows                   of despair and whatnot.       119 00:05:45,386 --> 00:05:46,929        That's the way life is.       120 00:05:49,682 --> 00:05:51,100               [creaks]               121 00:05:58,358 --> 00:06:03,404             There it is.

 He used to play this from           when he was five years old.     124 00:06:09,577 --> 00:06:11,496      He never played it for me.      125 00:06:11,537 --> 00:06:14,707        It's a beautiful thing,           but he had had enough of it,     126 00:06:14,749 --> 00:06:16,167           I think from all                   the hours of practice        127 00:06:16,209 -->

00:12:24,535        He would be doing songs       267 00:12:24,577 --> 00:12:26,871        by Engelbert Humperdinck,                     Tom Jones.             268 00:12:26,912 --> 00:12:29,081           Ronnie did a version                  of "The Way of Love"        269 00:12:29,123 --> 00:12:30,833       that Cher had a big hit on.     270 00:12:30,875 --> 00:12:33,711          When you meet a boy        271 00:12:33,753 --> 00:12:36,088         Before Cher recorded it.                  It's phenomenal.          272 00:12:36,130 --> 00:12:42,094          When you meet a girl       273 00:12:42,136 --> 00:12:46,599          That you like a lot        274 00:12:46,640 --> 00:12:48,434       [Dave]   I got in the band.      275 00:12:48,476 --> 00:12:51,896              I was just out                 of high school in 1965, '66.    276 00:12:51,937 --> 00:12:53,564             We had a manager                  at the time from Ithaca,      277 00:12:53,606 --> 00:12:55,274        and he was pushing Ronnie      278 00:12:55,316 --> 00:12:57,067              into following            that Tom Jones route, you know?    279 00:12:57,109 --> 00:13:01,447         Say you're mine again       280 00:13:01,489 --> 00:13:03,365          [Ronnie]   Careers go                 in different directions.      281 00:13:03,407 --> 00:13:04,617              In those days,                    it wasn't fashionable        282 00:13:04,658 --> 00:13:06,118          to be in rock 'n' roll                       in order              283 00:13:06,160 --> 00:13:07,578          to want to pursue that                     as a career.            284 00:13:07,620 --> 00:13:09,580         It really made no sense                    at all to do.            285 00:13:09,622 --> 00:13:11,415         Well, I loved it so much      286 00:13:11,457 --> 00:13:12,833           that it was going to                make sense for me to do.      287 00:13:12,875 --> 00:13:16,295              Oh, darling,                        say you're mine          288 00:13:16,337 --> 00:13:19,298          discordant chords         289 00:13:19,340 --> 00:13:23,093     [rock 'n' roll music playing]    290 00:13:23,135 --> 00:13:28,140                We found                      a way to be discovered       291 00:13:28,182 --> 00:13:29,975         [Dave]   All the series                 of pictures were taken       292 00:13:30,017 --> 00:13:32,311         in my parents' basement.      293 00:13:32,353 --> 00:13:35,981      And we took rolls of tinfoil,         and we hung it up in the back.  294 00:13:36,023 --> 00:13:38,317             And that's when                 the Beatles first came out,     295 00:13:38,359 --> 00:13:40,820           so everybody started                to grow their hair long.      296 00:13:40,861 --> 00:13:44,490                                   297 00:13:44,532 --> 00:13:47,785      We decided to change the name             to The Electric Elves.       298 00:13:47,827 --> 00:13:48,911         I mean, we used to have                   a van that said           299 00:13:48,953 --> 00:13:50,663         "Electric Elves" on it.       300 00:13:50,704 --> 00:13:53,123         They thought we were                electrical contractors.       301 00:13:53,165 --> 00:13:56,293       "Uh, my house needs wiring.          Call The Electric Elves over.    302 00:13:56,335 --> 00:13:58,295  They're small. They can get into     the crawl space really easily."  303 00:13:58,337 --> 00:13:59,839               [laughs]               304 00:13:59,880 --> 00:14:01,257        You know and at that time,                  playing clubs,           305 00:14:01,298 --> 00:14:02,967        you're doing cover songs.      306 00:14:03,008 --> 00:14:05,052  When The Beatles album came out,        we learned the whole album.     307 00:14:05,094 --> 00:14:07,012         You know, because Ronnie            could sing the whole album.     308 00:14:07,054 --> 00:14:10,266    [Ronnie]   We were doing so well           from a playing standpoint,     309 00:14:10,307 --> 00:14:11,517        you know, going from Maine          to North Carolina to Detroit.    310 00:14:11,559 --> 00:14:15,396             We wanted to be                       better musically          311 00:14:15,437 --> 00:14:17,356             and wanted to be                     something special.         312 00:14:20,192 --> 00:14:23,320         spacey instrumental        313 00:14:23,362 --> 00:14:26,615           1968, I had been out                of the band for a while       314 00:14:26,657 --> 00:14:28,617     and Ronnie was playing clubs,    315 00:14:28,659 --> 00:14:30,202            like they were                    always playing clubs,        316 00:14:30,244 --> 00:14:31,704             and they were                 called The Electric Elves.      317 00:14:31,745 --> 00:14:34,039          We played in, uh...         318 00:14:34,081 --> 00:14:37,167       I think it was Waterbury,            Connecticut, for a week.       319 00:14:37,209 --> 00:14:41,964        And, uh, we decided not to          stay overnight the last night.  320 00:14:42,006 --> 00:14:45,384      Our gear was in the back of      the van. We all rode in the van,  321 00:14:45,426 --> 00:14:46,969             so we decided to                   drive home that night        322 00:14:47,011 --> 00:14:49,054  rather than stay another night.    323 00:14:49,096 --> 00:14:53,392            And a drunk driver                ends up crossing the lane      324 00:14:53,434 --> 00:14:54,894           and hits us head on.        325 00:14:54,935 --> 00:14:59,064         [horn blares, crash]         326 00:14:59,106 --> 00:15:02,401               I woke up in                   a hospital bed with Ronnie     327 00:15:02,443 --> 00:15:05,905       next to me in the other bed.    328 00:15:05,946 --> 00:15:08,657         We looked like zombies.              Ronnie hit the windshield.     329 00:15:08,699 --> 00:15:10,701      His whole scalp was torn back.  330 00:15:10,743 --> 00:15:13,996      He had over a hundred stitches               in his scalp.            331 00:15:14,038 --> 00:15:17,708       [Dick]   Nicky was driving,             and it impacted the front,     332 00:15:17,750 --> 00:15:19,418                pinned him                      in the steering wheel        333 00:15:19,460 --> 00:15:21,795      and he actually bled to death.  334 00:15:21,837 --> 00:15:24,548            somber music            335 00:15:24,590 --> 00:15:29,887          Uh...it--it--it was                really hard to believe,       336 00:15:29,929 --> 00:15:33,891          to understand that                   that could happen.          337 00:15:33,933 --> 00:15:36,226                [Mick]                      This is such a catastrophe,     338 00:15:36,268 --> 00:15:38,354         not just for, obviously,              for Nick and his family,      339 00:15:38,395 --> 00:15:42,107             but for Ronnie,                   it becomes a moment of,       340 00:15:42,149 --> 00:15:46,528          "Is this time to throw            in the towel? Is this a sign?    341 00:15:46,570 --> 00:15:49,281      Is this just not meant to be?"  342 00:15:53,243 --> 00:15:57,122           That's a slide--               That's one slide of Ronnie's.    343 00:15:57,164 --> 00:16:00,084          You can see it's--                 it's after the accident       344 00:16:00,125 --> 00:16:02,211           when his hair was                just starting to grow in.      345 00:16:02,252 --> 00:16:05,673        Ronnie, when he was a kid,             succeeded really greatly      346 00:16:05,714 --> 00:16:07,508           as far as academics.        347 00:16:07,549 --> 00:16:11,762  At some point he started college        and he was taking pharmacy.     348 00:16:11,804 --> 00:16:15,099         So, after the accident,            he could have chosen anything,  349 00:16:15,140 --> 00:16:17,184           any avenue to go to.        350 00:16:17,226 --> 00:16:19,687                I remember                     the moment when I said,       351 00:16:19,728 --> 00:16:21,897         "We gonna put this thing            back together?" And he said,    352 00:16:21,939 --> 00:16:23,691        "Yeah, we're gonna put             this thing back together."      353 00:16:23,732 --> 00:16:26,318              In our minds,                     we were wanting to go        354 00:16:26,360 --> 00:16:29,071        to Led Zeppelin, The Who.              We idolized Deep Purple.      355 00:16:29,113 --> 00:16:31,949       Deep Purple, that's what              was heaviest, you know?       356 00:16:31,991 --> 00:16:34,493              "Good golly,"                   said little Miss Molly       357 00:16:34,535 --> 00:16:36,537          When she was rockin'              in the house of blue light     358 00:16:36,578 --> 00:16:39,748       And we just said, "Okay,             that's what we wanna do."      359 00:16:39,790 --> 00:16:42,501           [Mick] And the death                    of Nick Pantas,           360 00:16:42,543 --> 00:16:44,628           that terrible crash         361 00:16:44,670 --> 00:16:47,131             that could have                 easily dissuaded lesser men     362 00:16:47,172 --> 00:16:49,466               just to say,                   "You know what? I'm done,"     363 00:16:49,508 --> 00:16:52,344             Ronnie decides,                      "No, I'm not done.         364 00:16:52,386 --> 00:16:55,514           In fact, I'm only                 just getting started."        365 00:16:55,556 --> 00:16:57,808             rock music             366 00:16:57,850 -->

in my bed at night         369 00:17:09,153 --> 00:17:10,946         He decides to build this      370 00:17:10,988 --> 00:17:13,240              into something                      more contemporary          371 00:17:13,282 --> 00:17:16,118            with, you know,                   a shit ton of power.         372 00:17:16,160 --> 00:17:19,038                                   373 00:17:19,079 --> 00:17:21,457         [Eddie]   There's just                 a power and a presence.       374 00:17:21,498 --> 00:17:23,834             It's remarkable                  when you think that a man      375 00:17:23,876 --> 00:17:26,003          of such small stature        376 00:17:26,045 --> 00:17:27,463         had the biggest voice             you're ever going to hear.      377 00:17:27,504 --> 00:17:30,299                [Dick]                       Eventually, we became Elf.     378 00:17:30,340 --> 00:17:32,301            We were very small          and all kinds of hair and beards  379 00:17:32,342 --> 00:17:33,802           and the whole deal.                  We'd walk out on stage       380 00:17:33,844 --> 00:17:36,346              and actually,                   people started to chuckle.     381 00:17:36,388 --> 00:17:38,932             But when we hit                 the first note, it was like,    382 00:17:38,974 --> 00:17:41,810         jaws dropped, you know?                       [laughs]              383 00:17:41,852 --> 00:17:45,731                                   384 00:17:45,773 --> 00:17:50,194         [Mick]   And suddenly,              you've got not just a new band  385 00:17:50,235 --> 00:17:52,863             but a new sound,                      a new attitude.           386 00:17:52,905 --> 00:17:58,035            And the beginnings                 of the Ronnie James Dio       387 00:17:58,077 --> 00:18:01,955        that would become famous.      388 00:18:01,997 --> 00:18:06,126     soft acoustic instrumental     389 00:18:06,168 --> 00:18:08,879           [Dave]   We came up                     with those songs,          390 00:18:08,921 --> 00:18:10,714         and that's what ended up               getting us an audition       391 00:18:10,756 --> 00:18:12,591        with, you know, Columbia.      392 00:18:12,633 --> 00:18:16,804      [Dick]   Elf were auditioning            for the famous Clive Davis     393 00:18:16,845 --> 00:18:19,598        who discovered everybody,                  just everybody.           394 00:18:19,640 --> 00:18:23,018            And we were gonna                   audition for him. Wow.       395 00:18:23,060 --> 00:18:26,105               At the time,                   Roger Glover and Ian Paice

00:18:31,276            they wanted to                      become producers.          399 00:18:31,318 --> 00:18:34,113     So, somehow they got involved         in coming to this audition.     400 00:18:34,154 --> 00:18:35,739          [Dick]   We were told                 just at the last moment       401 00:18:35,781 --> 00:18:37,366            that Roger and Ian

00:18:47,417 --> 00:18:49,378           Some chairs set up,                    and Clive comes in         408 00:18:49,419 --> 00:18:51,630      and a couple people with him.    409 00:18:51,672 --> 00:18:53,132  And then Roger and Ian come in.    410 00:18:53,173 --> 00:18:55,050           Well, well, well.          411 00:18:55,092 --> 00:18:56,552         There were probably,

00:19:11,859  And I go, "What's this? A circus      act or something?" You know.     418 00:19:11,900 --> 00:19:14,736              Standing there                and playing in front of, like,  419

00:19:22,327             and you have to                    try to sell yourself.        422 00:19:22,369 --> 00:19:24,663        It was, like, a big deal.      423 00:19:24,705 --> 00:19:26,498      You know, we played the songs,  424 00:19:26,540 --> 00:19:28,208             and it was like,                 "All right, that's enough.     425 00:19:28,250 --> 00:19:30,127             We don't need to                   hear any more songs."        426 00:19:30,169 --> 00:19:32,087        And everybody gets up.             You know, we couldn't hear      427 00:19:32,129 --> 00:19:34,673     what they were talking about,            and everybody leaves.        428 00:19:34,715 --> 00:19:40,345          We don't know if they             hated it or if they loved it.    429 00:19:40,387 --> 00:19:43,098     I mean, we were knocked out.            Absolutely knocked out.       430 00:19:43,140 --> 00:19:45,142          And we said, "Yeah,            we'll do this. We'll do this."    431 00:19:45,184 --> 00:19:48,770       And we flew down to Atlanta             and recorded the album.       432 00:19:48,812 --> 00:19:52,482                                   433 00:20:00,908 --> 00:20:03,118          And then we got to go               on tour with Deep Purple.      434 00:20:03,160 --> 00:20:07,372       So we went from playing bars               to playing arenas.         435 00:20:07,414 --> 00:20:10,000    We really felt like we made it     at that time, you know? [laughs]  436 00:20:10,042 --> 00:20:11,877          Little did we know                there's a long way to go       437 00:20:11,919 --> 00:20:13,545      before you really make it.      438 00:20:13,587 --> 00:20:16,548     [Ronnie]   I always had places             that I wanted to get to.      439 00:20:16,590 --> 00:20:18,467               Deep Purple                      were my favorite band.       440 00:20:18,508 --> 00:20:20,719            We must have done                 probably eight full tours      441 00:20:20,761 --> 00:20:24,389              with the band.                  So, Elf took on the world.     442 00:20:24,431 --> 00:20:26,141            You know, that was          the beginning, certainly for me.  443 00:20:26,183 --> 00:20:27,559             Baby, you know          444 00:20:27,601 --> 00:20:30,979        I'm coming back for you      445 00:20:31,021 --> 00:20:33,398         I'm coming back for you     446 00:20:33,440 --> 00:20:35,234          So, over the course         447

00:20:40,739           I fell in love with                 the sound of his voice,       450 00:20:40,781 --> 00:20:42,908           then I fell in love                  with his personality,        451 00:20:42,950 --> 00:20:46,119       then I fell in love with him               as a human being.          452 00:20:46,161 --> 00:20:48,538              He was great.                  He was funny, strong-willed.    453 00:20:48,580 --> 00:20:50,916             And he believed                       in what he did.           454 00:20:50,958 --> 00:20:54,044      Go for what you believe in,          and that's what Ronnie was.     455 00:20:54,086 --> 00:20:57,714            He was--he was                 a hard fist coming at you.      456 00:20:57,756 --> 00:21:00,300               You know,                      I just loved the guy.        457 00:21:00,342 --> 00:21:02,427      I just genuinely loved him.     458 00:21:02,469 --> 00:21:06,932           It was born into him                from generations of eons      459 00:21:06,974 --> 00:21:09,393             of lifetimes ago          460 00:21:09,434 --> 00:21:12,854

Ritchie Blackmore--     470 00:21:46,013 --> 00:21:48,473           he's like the "Deep"                    in Deep Purple.           471 00:21:48,515 --> 00:21:50,976            Uh, he's a mystery                     within a riddle.          472 00:21:51,018 --> 00:21:54,104         He's not the easiest man                  to get on with.           473 00:21:54,146 --> 00:21:55,480         I barely saw Ritchie                    in Deep Purple            474 00:21:55,522 --> 00:21:57,482        when I was in the band.       475 00:21:57,524 --> 00:22:00,819         Ritchie was an isolator,              and this is in the days       476 00:22:00,861 --> 00:22:02,904            where there was no                 separate dressing rooms.      477 00:22:02,946 --> 00:22:05,115               Well, he had                     his own dressing room.       478 00:22:05,157 --> 00:22:07,576               He stayed at                  different hotels, basically.    479 00:22:07,617 --> 00:22:11,246           And he never partook                in any group endeavors.       480 00:22:11,288 --> 00:22:17,002    No after dinner parties, no...

 because they were going             in a more funk direction.      484 00:22:24,551 --> 00:22:27,512                                   485 00:22:29,890 --> 00:22:32,017         [Ritchie]   I was going                  to leave Deep Purple        486 00:22:32,059 --> 00:22:34,603  no matter what because I didn't           respect that type of music     487 00:22:34,644 --> 00:22:36,313        that we were getting into,     488 00:22:36,355 --> 00:22:38,523      but luckily at the same time,                 I met Ronnie.            489 00:22:38,565 --> 00:22:40,776         Ritchie and I really had      490 00:22:40,817 --> 00:22:42,694              the same kind                      of musical feelings.        491 00:22:42,736 --> 00:22:44,863           We were engrossed in              the classical kind of music,    492 00:22:44,905 --> 00:22:47,032             Bach especially.          493 00:22:47,074 --> 00:22:49,701      And we felt that there was             a great place in music        494 00:22:49,743 --> 00:22:54,081           to kind of revive               that mystical, magical aura     495 00:22:54,122 --> 00:22:57,709            and put it into               today's kind of, uh, context.    496 00:22:57,751 --> 00:23:00,087         [Glenn]   Ritchie left               and went to start, you know,

--> 00:23:05,884  By the time Rainbow gets going,    500 00:23:05,926 --> 00:23:08,011      you got the Mount Rushmore                 of heavy rock--           501 00:23:08,053 --> 00:23:12,140        Purple, Sabbath, Zeppelin.     502 00:23:12,182 --> 00:23:15,310          All of them shared                  a common denominator         503 00:23:15,352 --> 00:23:17,979      in the sense that they were          all coming from the blues.      504 00:23:18,021 --> 00:23:21,316             Ronnie James Dio                and Ritchie Blackmore wanted    505 00:23:21,358 -->

          so Rainbow is taking             this spaceship to a new place.  508 00:23:32,744 --> 00:23:34,955           [rocket roaring]           509 00:23:39,918 --> 00:23:42,504

      and stitches and, um, surgeries.  512 00:23:48,802 --> 00:23:51,930              So, music was                   extremely important to me      513 00:23:51,972 --> 00:23:53,974          because I had no one.        514 00:23:54,015 --> 00:23:58,937        I remember I was in a car.      Deep Purple had just broken up.    515 00:23:58,979 --> 00:24:01,815

Ronnie James Dio's voice,      524 00:24:18,957 --> 00:24:21,668            and I was like,                  "Who the hell is that?"       525 00:24:21,710 --> 00:24:24,379       And the man on the silver     526 00:24:24,421 --> 00:24:28,967                Mountain             527 00:24:29,009 --> 00:24:30,135                                    528 00:24:30,177 -->

                                  531 00:24:45,025 --> 00:24:48,737           And so at one point,               the world was upside down,     532 00:24:48,778 --> 00:24:50,655             and it turned it                    right side up again.        533 00:24:50,697 --> 00:24:53,158            [Mick] This is not                 just another rock band.       534 00:24:53,200 --> 00:24:55,660           It's gonna take what              we used to call "heavy rock"    535 00:24:55,702 --> 00:25:00,499         into a whole vista that            really hasn't existed before.    536 00:25:00,540 --> 00:25:03,919              And it was all                      about this dynamic         537 00:25:03,960 --> 00:25:06,671                 between                      this incredible guitarist      538 00:25:06,713 --> 00:25:08,465      and this extraordinary singer    539 00:25:08,507 --> 00:25:11,176               that almost                  everybody had never heard of.    540 00:25:11,218 --> 00:25:14,804          I remember going to                Munich to do an album,        541 00:25:14,846 --> 00:25:16,515             and Ritchie was                     in the same studio.         542 00:25:16,556 --> 00:25:18,433               And he said,                 "Oh, I gotta play you a song."  543 00:25:18,475 --> 00:25:21,102       "Stargazer," full blast.       544 00:25:21,144 --> 00:25:23,396               High noon             545 00:25:23,438 --> 00:25:26,983  Oh, I'd sell my soul for water  546 00:25:27,025 --> 00:25:30,278           I was blown away.              That was like a masterpiece.     547 00:25:30,320 --> 00:25:36,201           Ronnie sang about                 mystical, magical stars       548 00:25:36,243 --> 00:25:38,161       and universe and dreams.       549 00:25:38,203 --> 00:25:41,081                                   550 00:25:47,837 --> 00:25:50,048       [Ronnie]   That's what I do           with my music. I'm a narrator.  551 00:25:50,090 --> 00:25:52,717          I give people avenues                which they can go down.       552 00:25:52,759 --> 00:25:54,553              Safe avenues.            553 00:25:54,594 --> 00:25:57,556                                    554 00:25:59,516 --> 00:26:01,434             I don't shove it                    down their throats.         555 00:26:01,476 --> 00:26:03,270           They're your dreams                    to try to attain.          556 00:26:03,311 --> 00:26:05,021            I don't tell them                 this is what they must do.     557 00:26:05,063 --> 00:26:07,023       So, a narrator is what I am.    558 00:26:07,065 --> 00:26:11,069        In the "Runaways" days,            I would put on "Stargazer."     559 00:26:11,111 --> 00:26:13,905          All my dreams and all                my hopes would come out.      560 00:26:13,947 --> 00:26:16,616      That gave me all the strength    561 00:26:16,658 --> 00:26:18,118            and all the power                       I ever needed            562 00:26:18,159 --> 00:26:20,245       in guitar playing and music     563 00:26:20,287 --> 00:26:22,831      and just my everyday shit.      564 00:26:22,872 --> 00:26:26,042            Even though Ronnie                 could really sing blues       565 00:26:26,084 --> 00:26:27,877             if he wanted to,          566 00:26:27,919 --> 00:26:32,924        lyrically, he was never             the victim in his lyrics.      567 00:26:32,966 --> 00:26:35,927        It was more of a sage.        568 00:26:35,969 --> 00:26:40,056  You can see, but you're blind    569 00:26:40,098 --> 00:26:43,184      Someone turn the sun around    570 00:26:43,226 --> 00:26:46,730  What you can see in your mind    571 00:26:46,771 --> 00:26:50,775          The gates of Babylon       572 00:26:50,817 --> 00:26:53,445        [Ronnie]   And the things             we wrote were so different.     573 00:26:53,486 --> 00:26:57,073       That was the band, you know,           I wanted to be in forever.     574 00:26:57,115 --> 00:26:59,618         That was my chance to do               what I was born to do,       575 00:26:59,659 --> 00:27:01,745            which is to write                    classically oriented        576 00:27:01,786 --> 00:27:03,204          fantasy kind of music.       577 00:27:03,246 --> 00:27:05,915         [Mick]   Ronnie was now                    firmly embedded           578 00:27:05,957 --> 00:27:09,878             into the gothic                and medieval rock of Rainbow.    579 00:27:09,919 --> 00:27:12,881          He'd found his niche.             He'd found his new character.    580 00:27:16,635 --> 00:27:19,262           Well, here we are--         581 00:27:19,304 --> 00:27:21,598                the famous                      Rainbow Bar and Grill.       582 00:27:21,640 --> 00:27:23,683     Uh, land of fruits and nuts,     583 00:27:23,725 --> 00:27:25,560         and, uh, they always                   used to say that.          584 00:27:25,602 --> 00:27:28,438       Moving and, uh, it was--       585 00:27:28,480 --> 00:27:32,984       it still is the place to be                 on Sunset Strip.          586 00:27:33,026 --> 00:27:36,655          I came to Los Angeles                     in around '74.           587 00:27:36,696 --> 00:27:39,449      I got a job in a--in a diner,    588 00:27:39,491 --> 00:27:41,284           and then I was doing                a little bit of acting.       589 00:27:41,326 --> 00:27:43,203             I didn't mean to                    do acting, actually.        590 00:27:43,244 --> 00:27:44,996       Uh, I went with a girlfriend                    of mine,              591 00:27:45,038 --> 00:27:47,499      and we went there, uh, as, um,  592 00:27:47,540 --> 00:27:48,291    stand-in, what do you call it?                    Uh...                593 00:27:48,333 --> 00:27:49,918          [producer] Extras?          594 00:27:49,959 --> 00:27:51,503                Extras.                    Yeah, we went in as extras.     595 00:27:51,544 --> 00:27:54,339          It was a movie called                  Death Race 2000.           596 00:27:54,381 --> 00:27:57,008      And this guy that I had to rub  597 00:27:57,050 --> 00:27:59,010         his shoulders and stuff,               he was telling me that       598 00:27:59,052 --> 00:28:02,639      he had written a movie and it            was gonna be a big time.      599 00:28:02,681 --> 00:28:04,432              And I thought,                "Yeah, yeah, right, whatever."  600 00:28:04,474 --> 00:28:06,976          It actually turned out              to be Sylvester Stallone.      601 00:28:07,018 --> 00:28:08,937             You schmuck.             602 00:28:08,978 --> 00:28:12,232       And then, I met a-a girl             at a party and she said,       603 00:28:12,273 --> 00:28:14,359         "Well, why don't you              get a job at The Rainbow?"      604 00:28:14,401 --> 00:28:18,738       jazz piano instrumental      605 00:28:18,780 --> 00:28:20,573        We had everyone in here--      606 00:28:20,615 --> 00:28:23,201              Led Zeppelin,                     Deep Purple, The Who.        607 00:28:23,243 --> 00:28:25,495        Anyone you could possibly               think of was in here.        608 00:28:25,537 --> 00:28:28,957                                    609 00:28:28,998 --> 00:28:32,460           So this is the table                 where it all happened.       610 00:28:32,502 --> 00:28:35,130              This is where             I met Ronnie, uh, with Ritchie,    611 00:28:35,171 --> 00:28:37,507           and he introduced me                       to Ronnie.             612 00:28:37,549 --> 00:28:39,634        And they invited me to go               to a party afterwards        613 00:28:39,676 --> 00:28:42,011            up at their house,                 and so I went up there.       614 00:28:42,053 --> 00:28:46,433           We talked, and, uh,                followed me around a lot.      615 00:28:46,474 --> 00:28:48,727                I said,                     "He's too short for me."       616 00:28:48,768 --> 00:28:51,271      But then he talked to me more,  617 00:28:51,312 --> 00:28:54,149       and we talked on the phone,             and Ronnie being Ronnie,      618 00:28:54,190 --> 00:28:57,652       he's a very personal person,             he was so interesting        619 00:28:57,694 --> 00:29:01,406  and such a very wonderful person  620 00:29:01,448 --> 00:29:04,200       who loved animals as I did.     621 00:29:04,242 --> 00:29:08,163       He love to talk about books,            movies, uh, everything.       622 00:29:08,204 --> 00:29:10,123          I think I fell in love              with his brain, actually,      623 00:29:10,165 --> 00:29:12,917           and the way he was,                    his graciousness.          624 00:29:12,959 --> 00:29:18,923         You felt the same way       625 00:29:18,965 --> 00:29:22,594             And then he went                   on tour with Rainbow.        626 00:29:22,635 --> 00:29:24,888           And then he asked me              to go on the road with him.     627 00:29:24,929 --> 00:29:27,849          I'd only known him for               a few weeks, and I said,      628 00:29:27,891 --> 00:29:29,476        "No, I can't quit my job.      629 00:29:29,517 --> 00:29:31,936                "I'll come                      for a couple of days,"       630 00:29:31,978 --> 00:29:33,563              which ended up                  being a couple of months,      631 00:29:33,605 --> 00:29:35,523           which ended up being                for the rest of my life.      632 00:29:35,565 --> 00:29:40,111                                    633 00:29:40,153 --> 00:29:44,449       melancholy instrumental      634 00:29:44,491 --> 00:29:48,286         We were both young when            we were experiencing the road.  635 00:29:48,328 --> 00:29:49,913       And it was fun for a while,     636 00:29:49,954 --> 00:29:53,041             and then it got                     a little bit tense.         637 00:29:53,082 --> 00:29:55,210      Rainbow are enormous in Japan.  638 00:29:55,251 --> 00:29:57,712       Rainbow are bigger in Japan                 than The Stones.          639 00:29:57,754 --> 00:30:00,715             Rainbow are huge                   in Britain and Europe.       640 00:30:00,757 --> 00:30:04,302  Rainbow are not huge in America.  641 00:30:04,344 --> 00:30:08,723               In America,                     Rainbow never got there       642 00:30:08,765 --> 00:30:10,809        with Ronnie as the singer,     643 00:30:10,850 --> 00:30:14,229      and I know that that bothered            Blackmore tremendously.       644 00:30:14,270 --> 00:30:16,648           And he was consumed         645 00:30:16,689 --> 00:30:19,776         with getting Rainbow                    on U.S. radio.            646 00:30:19,818 --> 00:30:22,487      [Mick]   Long Live Rock 'n' Roll        was the last Rainbow album.     647 00:30:22,529 --> 00:30:24,405            They're working on               the next one, early stages.     648 00:30:24,447 --> 00:30:27,492            Ritchie decided                 it was time to get a hit.      649 00:30:27,534 --> 00:30:29,953           I was staying at                  Bruce's house one day.        650 00:30:29,994 --> 00:30:32,455         And he played me a song,             "Since You've Been Gone."      651 00:30:32,497 --> 00:30:36,000         Since you've been gone,              since you've been gone       652 00:30:36,042 --> 00:30:39,796           I'm out of my head,                     can't take it           653 00:30:39,838 --> 00:30:42,173               He said,                  "Well, Ritchie wants to do it."  654 00:30:42,215 --> 00:30:44,300       I said, "Get outta here.       655 00:30:44,342 --> 00:30:47,011               "After...                     after what he's done?"        656 00:30:47,053 --> 00:30:48,471         You know, especially                 with Rainbow rising,         657 00:30:48,513 --> 00:30:50,390     how could he want to do this?    658 00:31:05,822 --> 00:31:07,490         You know, Ronnie spent,                      you know,              659 00:31:07,532 --> 00:31:10,535          the first 10, 15 years                    of his career            660 00:31:10,577 --> 00:31:14,038            putting on a suit,                looking for the hit song.      661 00:31:14,080 --> 00:31:15,331           You know, this is               something he'd left behind      662 00:31:15,373 --> 00:31:17,041            many years ago            663 00:31:17,083 --> 00:31:21,212       and believed that the unique            selling point of Rainbow      664 00:31:21,254 --> 00:31:25,008          had nothing to do with             "Since You Been Gone, Baby."    665 00:31:25,049 --> 00:31:26,509         And Ronnie spoke up.         666 00:31:26,551 --> 00:31:28,511                [Lita]                       He stayed true to himself,     667 00:31:28,553 --> 00:31:32,473          and I think it really                pissed off a few people.      668 00:31:32,515 --> 00:31:34,392      [Wendy]   It got very tense,      669 00:31:34,434 --> 00:31:37,645              and so Ronnie                      was actually fired.         670 00:31:37,687 --> 00:31:41,941         Since you've been gone,              since you've been gone       671 00:31:41,983 --> 00:31:45,695           I'm out of my head,                     can't take it           672 00:31:45,737 --> 00:31:48,448       [Eddie]   That was the time      673 00:31:48,489 --> 00:31:51,200              where Rainbow                  did get airplay in America.     674 00:31:51,242 --> 00:31:54,621          It wasn't with Ronnie.       675 00:31:54,662 --> 00:31:58,541  For Ronnie on a personal level,               it was a disaster.         676 00:31:58,583 --> 00:32:01,127  He and Wendy were in a situation  677 00:32:01,169 --> 00:32:03,379      where the house they lived in,  678 00:32:03,421 --> 00:32:05,423                you know,                       was owned by the band.       679 00:32:05,465 --> 00:32:08,176            Uh, Ronnie didn't                  even see any royalties.       680 00:32:08,217 --> 00:32:10,929            This is a guy who                co-wrote all the big songs.     681 00:32:10,970 --> 00:32:13,473            Ronnie didn't get                 any royalties from Rainbow     682 00:32:13,514 --> 00:32:15,934         until after he died.         683 00:32:15,975 --> 00:32:18,770          So they had no money.        684 00:32:18,811 --> 00:32:21,773           You know, Ronnie was                a very, very proud, man.      685 00:32:21,814 --> 00:32:24,233         He didn't want to admit             that he'd been hurt by this.    686 00:32:24,275 --> 00:32:28,112         He didn't want to admit              that maybe he'd blown it.      687 00:32:28,154 --> 00:32:31,115                                    688 00:32:35,161 --> 00:32:40,083       [playing "Never Say Die"]      689 00:32:40,124 --> 00:32:44,087      I was a young Sabbath fan.               I remember watching         690 00:32:44,128 --> 00:32:46,297     Don Kirshner's rock concerts,               seeing them do,           691 00:32:46,339 --> 00:32:49,133         "Never Say Die" live                 without lip syncing.         692 00:32:49,175 --> 00:32:53,304     [vocalizing, voice cracking]     693 00:32:53,346 --> 00:32:55,974         You could tell that Ozzy            was sounding a little rough     694 00:32:56,015 --> 00:33:00,269             and kind of just                  doing that penguin clap,      695 00:33:00,311 --> 00:33:02,647                you know,                     just running around, just,     696 00:33:02,689 --> 00:33:04,941         looks like a wind-up toy                   after a while.           697 00:33:04,983 --> 00:33:07,860             Black Sabbath is                pretty much yesterday's news    698 00:33:07,902 --> 00:33:09,946            in the late '70s.          699 00:33:09,988 --> 00:33:12,115      The original Black Sabbath      700 00:33:12,156 --> 00:33:13,825     is some of the greatest metal                 ever made.              701 00:33:13,866 --> 00:33:15,785      No one was disputing that.      702 00:33:15,827 --> 00:33:17,662            But at that point,               ten years into the business,    703 00:33:17,704 --> 00:33:20,206          coming off of a couple                 lackluster records,         704 00:33:20,248 --> 00:33:23,501          beat up from the road,             it was a mess at that time.     705 00:33:23,543 --> 00:33:28,172      Things weren't working out         at the end of the '70s for us.    706 00:33:28,214 --> 00:33:31,009        I think it was probably            a lot of different things.      707 00:33:31,050 --> 00:33:33,177                Disarray.                      Maybe "disillusionment"       708 00:33:33,219 --> 00:33:35,179         might be a better word.       709 00:33:35,221 --> 00:33:37,473             We'd been in                 rock 'n' roll for years, man.    710 00:33:37,515 --> 00:33:40,101          [Eddie]   All of them                 were very badly riddled       711 00:33:40,143 --> 00:33:41,936           with drug problems.         712 00:33:41,978 --> 00:33:44,772        Ozzy was considered, like,           a huge mess and can't sing,     713 00:33:44,814 --> 00:33:46,357       can't write, can't do this.     714 00:33:46,399 --> 00:33:48,860         He was just a crazy dude                  from Birmingham,          715 00:33:48,901 --> 00:33:50,778       like a juvenile delinquent.     716 00:33:50,820 --> 00:33:52,363     He was never a professional,     717 00:33:52,405 --> 00:33:53,781            and that's what                   was great about him.         718 00:33:53,823 --> 00:33:56,242       And Ozzy's a sweetheart.                 We all know that.          719 00:33:56,284 --> 00:33:59,495        But he--he was crazy in--                    in the '70s.            720 00:33:59,537 --> 00:34:01,247                 I mean,                      one night at the Rainbow,      721 00:34:01,289 --> 00:34:04,000          he set himself on fire              at a booth in the Rainbow.     722 00:34:04,042 --> 00:34:07,170      Fire extinguisher came out.              He could have died.         723 00:34:07,211 --> 00:34:08,963      He's laughing his ass off.      724 00:34:09,005 --> 00:34:11,382          [Mick]   And--And Oz,                 he came to such a place.      725 00:34:11,424 --> 00:34:13,551           He needed to leave.         726 00:34:13,593 --> 00:34:18,222               Ozzy leaves,                 and everybody was just like...  727 00:34:18,264 --> 00:34:22,643         "Okay, so that's it,                     they're done.            728 00:34:22,685 --> 00:34:25,021      "Black Sabbath is just done."    729 00:34:25,063 --> 00:34:29,025                                    730 00:34:32,070 --> 00:34:34,238                [Mick]                      So, by the end of the '70s,     731 00:34:34,280 --> 00:34:36,741             Ronnie and Wendy                     take off for L.A.          732 00:34:36,783 --> 00:34:39,911             Ronnie would not                   go down the, you know,       733 00:34:39,952 --> 00:34:43,081               "Hey, baby,                    let's have a hit," route.      734 00:34:43,122 --> 00:34:45,833         He's already in his 30s.      735 00:34:45,875 --> 00:34:49,253         He's already been around             the block a zillion times.     736 00:34:49,295 --> 00:34:51,422           He's got no career.         737 00:34:51,464 --> 00:34:53,925  I mean, you know, "What the fuck             am I gonna do?"           738 00:34:53,966 --> 00:34:57,887          rock instrumental         739 00:34:57,929 --> 00:34:59,347             But the Rainbow                      seems to have been         740 00:34:59,388 --> 00:35:01,057       such a lucky place for him.     741 00:35:01,099 --> 00:35:05,895                You know,                   he meets Wendy in the Rainbow.  742 00:35:05,937 --> 00:35:08,689          And now who does he            meet in the Rainbow one night?    743 00:35:08,731 --> 00:35:11,484      Tony Iommi from Black Sabbath.  744 00:35:11,526 --> 00:35:16,948    Tony Iommi from Black Sabbath,          who has just sacked Ozzy.      745 00:35:16,989 --> 00:35:20,618                                   746 00:35:23,955 --> 00:35:26,624        [Ronnie]   At the Rainbow              Bar and Grill, I met Tony.     747 00:35:26,666 --> 00:35:28,793            Saw him and I went                 to the rehearsal place.       748 00:35:28,835 --> 00:35:31,254           I only went up there                 just to say, "Hello."        749 00:35:31,295 --> 00:35:33,131       He came over to the house      750 00:35:33,172 --> 00:35:37,802         and, um, I played him                 a bit of the stuff,         751 00:35:37,844 --> 00:35:39,637       some of the riffs I got.       752 00:35:39,679 --> 00:35:42,473      And, uh, he said, "Oh, let me              have a go at that."         753 00:35:42,515 --> 00:35:44,559         [Ronnie]   Went off to                 the other room and wrote      754 00:35:44,600 --> 00:35:46,561              the beginning                 and a verse to a song called,    755 00:35:46,602 --> 00:35:48,229           "Children the Sea."         756 00:35:48,271 --> 00:35:51,566          In the misty morning       757 00:35:51,607 --> 00:35:55,319          On the edge of time        758 00:35:55,361 --> 00:35:58,656         We lost the rising sun      759 00:35:58,698 --> 00:36:01,784            The fire inside          760 00:36:01,826 --> 00:36:03,995       He'd walk out and just sing.    761 00:36:04,036 --> 00:36:05,621                You know,                     this voice would come out.     762 00:36:05,663 --> 00:36:08,541         I mean, he was just,                you know, unbelievable.       763 00:36:08,583 --> 00:36:10,751              When he first                      got offered the job         764 00:36:10,793 --> 00:36:12,628      in Black Sabbath, he was like,  765 00:36:12,670 --> 00:36:14,630             "I don't know if                 I like this music or not."     766 00:36:14,672 --> 00:36:16,299         And I said, "We have                $800 left in the bank.        767 00:36:16,340 --> 00:36:17,842         You love this music."        768 00:36:17,884 --> 00:36:22,054                                   769 00:36:22,096 --> 00:36:24,640          And so he... [laughs]        770 00:36:24,682 --> 00:36:26,976           he joined the band,                and he did love the music.     771 00:36:27,018 --> 00:36:29,437           [Ronnie]   This was               going into a band that to me,    772 00:36:29,478 --> 00:36:31,314      had been   the   heavy metal band,  773 00:36:31,355 --> 00:36:34,859            a band that didn't              apologize for coming to town.    774 00:36:34,901 --> 00:36:36,903       It just stepped on buildings             when it came to town.        775 00:36:36,944 --> 00:36:39,739  And to be included in that band            was very special to me.       776 00:36:39,780 --> 00:36:43,284  Takin' over for Ozzy in Sabbath?  777 00:36:43,326 --> 00:36:46,662     Can you imagine the pressure?    778 00:36:46,704 --> 00:36:48,706       To replace a singer is...             [chuckles] really a...        779 00:36:48,748 --> 00:36:50,708         It can go either way.        780 00:36:50,750 --> 00:36:53,211       And then putting in Ronnie,             in a tough spot, really.      781 00:36:53,252 --> 00:36:55,046       [Ronnie]   You know, again,            I'm a very positive person.     782 00:36:55,087 --> 00:36:56,547             I said to them,           783 00:36:56,589 --> 00:36:58,049         "They're never gonna say              anything bad about you.       784 00:36:58,090 --> 00:36:58,966            They're only gonna                    say something bad          785 00:36:59,008 --> 00:37:00,843      about the new guy who came in.  786 00:37:00,885 --> 00:37:02,553             And my shoulders                 are big enough to take it.     787 00:37:02,595 --> 00:37:03,930      You know what we'll do? We're         gonna write some great songs.    788 00:37:03,971 --> 00:37:05,806          Don't worry about it.                 I'll take care of it."       789 00:37:05,848 --> 00:37:08,142      At this point, I'm working              for the biggest, uh,         790 00:37:08,184 --> 00:37:11,896         rock and heavy metal               P.R. company in the U.K.

  The devil is...          832 00:39:20,816 --> 00:39:23,027        And then when everybody          had saw what Ronnie had got...    833 00:39:23,069 --> 00:39:25,321      [laughs] it's like, "Okay."     834 00:39:25,363 --> 00:39:29,033       So, it's on and on and on     835 00:39:29,075 --> 00:39:32,661          It's heaven and hell       836 00:39:32,703 -->

that I've                       always wanted to make,       856 00:40:33,973 --> 00:40:35,766          which was, "The world              is full of kings and queens     857 00:40:35,808 -->

00:41:25,608 --> 00:41:27,401             And we built up                       the stage show,           876 00:41:27,443 --> 00:41:29,153  basically around the image of--    877 00:41:29,195 -->

00:41:36,118 --> 00:41:37,828      because of not only his voice,  880 00:41:37,870 --> 00:41:39,955           but everything else                       around him.             881 00:41:39,997 -->

 other than what it really is.    929 00:43:46,123 --> 00:43:49,126         If you'd all join us,            I'll tell you what it means.     930 00:43:49,168 --> 00:43:50,919         Ronnie who'd always,         931 00:43:50,961 --> 00:43:52,630           he'd grown up in              the Italian family, of course,    932 00:43:52,671 --> 00:43:54,423           would walk around                  with his grandmother.        933 00:43:54,465 --> 00:43:56,467          And his grandmother                was very superstitious        934 00:43:56,508 --> 00:43:58,636       and she would walk around                going like this,           935 00:43:58,677 --> 00:44:01,472           to ward off evil                   or give the evil eye         936 00:44:01,513 --> 00:44:04,224       or ward the evil eye off,         which is called the   malocchio.    937 00:44:04,266 --> 00:44:06,477         So, this, what we now                call the devil horns,        938 00:44:06,518 --> 00:44:09,146        that is Ronnie James Dio,              and it was out something      939 00:44:09,188 --> 00:44:12,566      his fierce-looking grandmother                used to do.             940 00:44:12,608 --> 00:44:16,070         It means, "Long live              rock 'n' roll." Put 'em up!     941 00:44:16,111 --> 00:44:18,614           [crowd cheering]           942 00:44:18,656 --> 00:44:22,159              And suddenly,                   by the end of every show,      943 00:44:22,201 --> 00:44:24,620            the whole audience                    was doing it back.         944 00:44:24,662 --> 00:44:26,455            And again, it was               another one of those moments,    945 00:44:26,497 --> 00:44:28,916           I thought, "This is                  interesting shit here.       946 00:44:28,957 --> 00:44:31,168                You know,                    this is really interesting.     947 00:44:31,210 --> 00:44:35,673           He's gonna work this              until it is just his band."     948 00:44:35,714 --> 00:44:39,343    And that's exactly what he did.  949 00:44:39,385 --> 00:44:43,514            So come with me,                 I'll give you the desire      950 00:44:43,555 --> 00:44:47,601               But first,                    you're gonna burn in fire     951 00:44:47,643 --> 00:44:49,311           [crowd cheering]           952 00:44:49,353 --> 00:44:51,021                The rest,                      as they say, is history.      953 00:44:51,063 --> 00:44:52,189  I mean, I'm not the only person         who's ever used it, of course,  954 00:44:52,231 --> 00:44:53,691         but you know, I must say      955 00:44:53,732 --> 00:44:55,526              that I've been                  the one who's used it most     956 00:44:55,567 --> 00:44:57,486               and probably                   the most known for it now.     957 00:44:57,528 --> 00:45:00,155            It's only meant as                 a, you know, connection       958 00:45:00,197 --> 00:45:01,990          between the--the music                    that we play,            959 00:45:02,032 --> 00:45:04,326         which is hard and heavy                and pretty damn evil.        960 00:45:04,368 --> 00:45:08,789          So, uh, that's what               that's all about, anyway.      961 00:45:08,831 --> 00:45:12,626             The whole thing                    was difficult for me.        962 00:45:12,668 --> 00:45:15,295           And Ronnie knew that                       I was, um,             963 00:45:15,337 --> 00:45:18,674         feeling uncomfortable                with certain things.         964 00:45:18,716 --> 00:45:21,135           I really missed Oz.         965 00:45:21,176 --> 00:45:23,053               I felt like                     I'd lost a best friend.       966 00:45:23,095 --> 00:45:25,806       And so I was grieving there,    967 00:45:25,848 --> 00:45:28,559             and my drinking                       had accelerated.          968 00:45:28,600 --> 00:45:32,354              And that plays                 a huge part in my departure     969 00:45:32,396 --> 00:45:34,022           from Black Sabbath.         970 00:45:34,064 --> 00:45:36,483              But Ronnie was                    supportive towards me        971 00:45:36,525 --> 00:45:39,903     as a--as a person throughout.    972 00:45:39,945 --> 00:45:43,657              So, that's how                     I first met Ronnie,         973 00:45:43,699 --> 00:45:45,409      and we hit it off right away.    974 00:45:45,451 --> 00:45:47,661     He's from upstate New York--                   Cortland.              975 00:45:47,703 --> 00:45:49,246  And I'm from Brooklyn, New York.  976 00:45:49,288 --> 00:45:51,749        And, uh, Tony and Geezer--     977 00:45:51,790 --> 00:45:53,917                I couldn't                    understand them very well.     978 00:45:53,959 --> 00:45:55,919           I was pretty young,         979 00:45:55,961 --> 00:45:57,421          and they were kind of                     scary-looking            980 00:45:57,463 --> 00:46:02,259         with the mustaches and,        you know, "These are the guys."    981 00:46:02,301 --> 00:46:03,927     And they talk to me and I go,    982 00:46:03,969 --> 00:46:06,096     "Ronnie, what did they say?"     983 00:46:06,138 --> 00:46:08,307        I'd keep asking Ronnie,       984 00:46:08,348 --> 00:46:12,519            "What'd he say?              What does that mean? "Blimey"?"  985 00:46:12,561 --> 00:46:15,731                                   986 00:46:15,773 --> 00:46:18,358          So Sabbath follows                      Heaven and Hell           987 00:46:18,400 --> 00:46:20,402            with   Mob Rules.           988 00:46:20,444 --> 00:46:22,821                Mob Rules                   is an unbelievable record.      989 00:46:22,863 --> 00:46:25,908     "Sign of the Southern Cross."              Look at my arms.           990 00:46:25,949 --> 00:46:29,578         Just saying the name             of the song does this to me.     991 00:46:29,620 --> 00:46:31,955              It's the sign                    of the Southern cross       992 00:46:31,997 --> 00:46:35,250                                    993 00:46:35,292 --> 00:46:39,880              It's the sign                    of the Southern cross       994 00:46:39,922 --> 00:46:41,757              All right!              995 00:46:57,815 --> 00:47:00,400                [Vinny]                        We finished   Mob Rules,       996 00:47:00,442 --> 00:47:03,570         the tour was fantastic,             so everything's going great.    997 00:47:03,612 --> 00:47:07,574                  Then,                      I don't know what happened,     998 00:47:07,616 --> 00:47:10,869       but it's business between            those guys, three of 'em.      999 00:47:10,911 --> 00:47:13,622            A lot of times                  success breeds problems,       1000 00:47:13,664 --> 00:47:15,749          and that happened.          1001 00:47:15,791 --> 00:47:17,209          I-I felt that that                   really did happen,          1002 00:47:17,251 --> 00:47:18,961    that, uh, all of the bad things  1003 00:47:19,002 --> 00:47:24,758       that--that could be used               were used, you know,         1004 00:47:24,800 --> 00:47:29,388            from drug abuse                   to, um, mental abuse.        1005 00:47:29,429 --> 00:47:31,640      I'm not sure what happened.     1006 00:47:31,682 --> 00:47:35,394             It was, uh...               I mean, we were all, uh, doing    1007 00:47:35,435 --> 00:47:38,689              quite a bit                  of nose powder at the time.     1008 00:47:38,730 --> 00:47:41,984      This is the era of cocaine.        Everybody in the music business  1009 00:47:42,025 --> 00:47:45,904      is doing too much cocaine,           but not at all, Ronnie Dio.     1010 00:47:45,946 --> 00:47:51,201      That was--It was never--never          his thing, and they clashed.    1011 00:47:51,243 --> 00:47:54,204                                   1012 00:48:02,421 --> 00:48:04,089             You know, sorry.          1013 00:48:04,131 --> 00:48:07,050                                    1014 00:48:21,648 --> 00:48:26,528     It--It got difficult for him              behind the scenes.          1015 00:48:26,570 --> 00:48:29,531        Egos getting involved.        1016 00:48:29,573 --> 00:48:32,034          [Vinny]   We recorded                   the   Live Evil   album,        1017 00:48:32,075 --> 00:48:35,704      and the mixing of that record               became a problem.          1018 00:48:35,746 --> 00:48:37,414                When we're                      doing the   Live   album,        1019 00:48:37,456 --> 00:48:41,668         he did get sort of...                 upset about things.         1020 00:48:41,710 --> 00:48:43,545            Ronnie could be                   fierce, very fierce.         1021 00:48:43,587 --> 00:48:47,341              He cared about                     every single detail.        1022 00:48:47,382 --> 00:48:49,217           I've heard a lot                   of rumors, you know,         1023 00:48:49,259 --> 00:48:50,385       that I'm a control freak                   and you know,            1024 00:48:50,427 --> 00:48:53,096       that, of course, led to, uh,    1025 00:48:53,138 --> 00:48:54,932            "I think we should                let Tony mix this album."      1026 00:48:54,973 --> 00:48:56,725             In other words,           1027 00:48:56,767 --> 00:48:58,602            "Your services are                  not required anymore."       1028 00:48:58,644 --> 00:49:00,354           Dio joined the band,        1029 00:49:00,395 --> 00:49:02,606          and he turned it into                 something incredible.        1030 00:49:02,648 --> 00:49:04,650            But don't forget,                   Tony's still thinking,       1031 00:49:04,691 --> 00:49:07,736       "Yeah, but I built this band                 for ten years            1032 00:49:07,778 --> 00:49:11,114          before you came along              and I offered you the gig."     1033 00:49:11,156 --> 00:49:13,951     Another gram of coke, and it          gets even worse than that.      1034 00:49:13,992 --> 00:49:17,996     Two more grams and, "I don't        even know who the fuck you are.  1035 00:49:18,038 --> 00:49:20,040        Why don't you fuck off           and back where you came from?"    1036 00:49:20,082 --> 00:49:23,168         It just got to the point      1037 00:49:23,210 --> 00:49:26,171               where Ronnie                     wasn't happy anymore.        1038 00:49:26,213 --> 00:49:28,256      It was his choice to leavem                 and he left.             1039 00:49:28,298 --> 00:49:34,221           Lonely is the word        1040 00:49:34,262 --> 00:49:36,765                  He had                        been through Rainbow,        1041 00:49:36,807 --> 00:49:40,644          and even when he found             the sweet smell of success,     1042 00:49:40,686 --> 00:49:42,896       it turned sour so quick.       1043 00:49:42,938 --> 00:49:45,649        And then he does it again                   with Sabbath,            1044 00:49:45,691 --> 00:49:48,694       and it turned sour so quick.    1045 00:49:48,735 --> 00:49:51,655                                   1046 00:50:02,249 --> 00:50:04,835       [Ronnie]   You know, it was           a very traumatic time for me.    1047 00:50:04,876 --> 00:50:06,628         You don't go from being,                     you know,              1048 00:50:06,670 --> 00:50:08,171         one of the biggest bands                    in the world            1049 00:50:08,213 --> 00:50:11,091       to not having a job anymore,              and what do you do?         1050 00:50:11,133 --> 00:50:12,676                  To me,                     it's always what comes next     1051 00:50:12,718 --> 00:50:14,136         and what your ideas are,      1052 00:50:14,177 --> 00:50:16,263             how many chances                     you want to take.          1053 00:50:16,304 --> 00:50:18,682         I had no one, you know?                    So I thought,            1054 00:50:18,724 --> 00:50:20,642            "Well, better get                  off your ass and go out       1055

00:56:00,398          We know what we want.        1189 00:56:02,525 --> 00:56:05,987       In the '80s, I was working,            uh, with Ronnie and Wendy      1190 00:56:06,029 --> 00:56:07,697              on pictures                     and just in general,         1191 00:56:07,739 --> 00:56:10,950         doing stuff that they           wanted me to do and everything.  1192 00:56:10,992 --> 00:56:14,454         I get a phone call from             this guy named Gene Hunter.     1193 00:56:14,496 --> 00:56:17,290         He says, "Wendy gave me                  your phone number.         1194 00:56:17,332 --> 00:56:20,627             And do you know                  of a good cove to go to?"      1195 00:56:20,668 --> 00:56:22,253            I said, "Cove?"           1196 00:56:22,295 --> 00:56:25,382                                   1197 00:56:25,423 --> 00:56:29,177       We ended up down at a place              called Paradise Cove.        1198 00:56:29,219 --> 00:56:32,263          So we get down there,        1199 00:56:32,305 --> 00:56:34,808        and he's got this wet suit             'cause it's really cold.      1200 00:56:34,849 --> 00:56:39,062              And on the top                     is a priest outfit,         1201 00:56:39,104 --> 00:56:42,315        and he's got the shitload            of chains, a lot of chains.     1202 00:56:42,357 --> 00:56:46,403     I'm going, "What's he doin'?"    1203 00:56:46,444 --> 00:56:49,572           So, he found a spot,        1204 00:56:49,614 --> 00:56:51,991             and he's trying                     to drag these chains        1205 00:56:52,033 --> 00:56:54,077             into this middle                    of this little cove.        1206 00:56:54,119 --> 00:56:56,913          It looked like he was              standing on a slippery rock     1207 00:56:56,955 --> 00:56:59,999           or something, but he               kept bobbing up and down.      1208 00:57:00,041 --> 00:57:02,252         I'm not taking pictures.      1209 00:57:02,293 --> 00:57:03,962            I'm just--He said,                "Take the fucking picture.     1210 00:57:04,003 --> 00:57:05,964             Take pictures!"           1211 00:57:06,005 --> 00:57:07,632             And he's bobbing                   and going up and down.       1212 00:57:07,674 --> 00:57:11,678             So, I'm taking,                    and snap, snap, snap.        1213 00:57:11,719 --> 00:57:13,263           "Are you all right?                 Are you coming back up?       1214 00:57:13,304 --> 00:57:14,806           Oh, crap. Are you--"        1215 00:57:14,848 --> 00:57:17,392             "Take the pic--"                   So he's... Glug-glug.        1216 00:57:17,434 --> 00:57:20,186          I don't know if I took             more than a roll and a half     1217 00:57:20,228 --> 00:57:22,897           before it's like,                    this is not good.          1218 00:57:22,939 --> 00:57:24,691             This is now bad           1219 00:57:24,732 --> 00:57:27,277            because it's like                  he's trying to breathe.       1220 00:57:27,318 --> 00:57:28,945             And he's trying                    to throw me the chain        1221 00:57:28,987 --> 00:57:31,739             to bring him in,                   but he can't lift it.        1222 00:57:31,781 --> 00:57:35,452             So I'm slipping.                  He's drowning or falling      1223 00:57:35,493 --> 00:57:37,328          and going under again,                   and it's like...          1224 00:57:37,370 --> 00:57:41,416  [sighs] So, somehow I yank him.           He pulls, and he gets up.      1225 00:57:41,458 --> 00:57:43,751       He--He's like, half-drowned.    1226 00:57:43,793 --> 00:57:48,840                                    1227 00:57:48,882 --> 00:57:51,968      I got the pictures developed,         and I turned them over to him,  1228 00:57:52,010 --> 00:57:55,472             and he said,                   "I'm working on the cover      1229 00:57:55,513 --> 00:57:58,266    for this 'Holy Diver' record."    1230 00:57:58,308 --> 00:58:01,102         [angelic vocalizing]         1231 00:58:01,144 --> 00:58:03,396           So after the record                   came out, I'm like,         1232 00:58:03,438 --> 00:58:05,982       "That's what we were doing."    1233 00:58:06,024 --> 00:58:09,152           That was him. He was             literally fighting the waves.    1234 00:58:09,194 --> 00:58:13,072            And I was like,               "This is so beyond awesome."     1235 00:58:13,114 --> 00:58:15,241                                   1236 00:58:15,283 --> 00:58:17,285              So Ronnie now,                     he's been the singer        1237 00:58:17,327 --> 00:58:21,748          of two of the biggest             heavy metal bands in history.    1238 00:58:21,789 --> 00:58:25,418       Now, they say three times           a charm, but not in music.      1239 00:58:25,460 --> 00:58:26,794               You know?                    This doesn't happen, man.      1240 00:58:26,836 --> 00:58:29,506            But this was Dio.          1241 00:58:29,547 --> 00:58:32,300           He's determined that             either he goes down in flames    1242 00:58:32,342 --> 00:58:36,095            or he finds glory.         1243 00:58:36,137 --> 00:58:38,765               Holy diver            1244 00:58:38,806 --> 00:58:42,143        You've been down too long               in the midnight sea        1245 00:58:42,185 --> 00:58:44,354         [Mick] Ronnie and Wendy                have got enough money        1246 00:58:44,395 --> 00:58:46,564           to make this album,                   put together a tour,        1247 00:58:46,606 --> 00:58:48,566          pay for it themselves.       1248 00:58:48,608 --> 00:58:51,361         They bet the farm on it.                  They really did.          1249 00:58:51,402 --> 00:58:54,405         Huge risk. Uh, we didn't           know what was going to happen.  1250 00:58:54,447 --> 00:58:55,698              We actually                      mortgaged our house         1251 00:58:55,740 --> 00:58:57,659      to take the first tour out.     1252 00:58:57,700 --> 00:59:02,330        He had to start the whole            circuit of playing anywhere.    1253 00:59:02,372 --> 00:59:06,042       The first show was Antioch,            California. It was a barn.     1254 00:59:06,084 --> 00:59:08,169                He played                       Bronco Bowl in Dallas,       1255 00:59:08,211 --> 00:59:09,837        which is a bowling alley.      1256 00:59:09,879 --> 00:59:11,589             So we'd like                     to do a song for you         1257 00:59:11,631 --> 00:59:14,801     called "Rainbow in the Dark."                  Let's go!              1258 00:59:14,842 --> 00:59:17,220     It was just crazy. You could           feel it, the excitement.       1259 00:59:17,262 --> 00:59:19,055                                   1260 00:59:19,097 --> 00:59:22,517      The radio stations here was         playing the shit out of that     1261 00:59:22,559 --> 00:59:25,895      first record, and you just           heard it every ten minutes.     1262 00:59:25,937 --> 00:59:28,147         When there's lightning      1263 00:59:28,189 --> 00:59:33,069               You know it                     always brings me down       1264 00:59:33,111 --> 00:59:36,406              [Wendy] We did            Santa Monica Civic, sold out in,  1265 00:59:36,447 --> 00:59:39,200           I think, in an hour,             and then they did an in-store    1266 00:59:39,242 --> 00:59:41,035      after that where they smashed              through the window,         1267 00:59:41,077 --> 00:59:43,663         there was so many fans.       1268 00:59:43,705 --> 00:59:46,374      [Vinny]   I think, because of          the introduction of a new band  1269 00:59:46,416 --> 00:59:48,585         just under Ronnie's name      1270 00:59:48,626 --> 00:59:51,671            with a new, young                  hotshot guitar player...      1271 00:59:51,713 --> 00:59:54,716                                    1272 00:59:54,757 --> 00:59:58,636            ...Dio, the band,               it was an introduction for him  1273 00:59:58,678 --> 01:00:01,764          to a whole new world,               a whole new start for him,     1274 01:00:01,806 --> 01:00:04,392            this rising scene,               at the time, of heavy metal.    1275 01:00:04,434 --> 01:00:10,023             [vocalizing]             1276 01:00:10,064 --> 01:00:12,942      [song ends, crowd cheering]     1277 01:00:16,154 --> 01:00:19,073      [indistinct conversations]      1278 01:00:19,115 --> 01:00:21,284    This is where we'd always sit,    1279 01:00:21,326 --> 01:00:23,286         and there's pictures             of Ronnie and Rainbow there.     1280 01:00:23,328 --> 01:00:25,038        Oh, how young we were.        1281 01:00:25,079 --> 01:00:27,457          So young. Babyface.                They're all babyfaces.        1282 01:00:35,340 --> 01:00:36,591             Soft and warm           1283 01:00:36,633 --> 01:00:38,051                  Oh.                 1284 01:00:38,092 --> 01:00:40,970          She'll touch my face       1285 01:00:41,012 --> 01:00:43,097             A bed of straw          1286 01:00:43,139 --> 01:00:45,016       [Ronnie]   There were some             of these songs that I think     1287 01:00:45,058 --> 01:00:47,644          reflect my own trauma                  at the time as well.        1288 01:00:47,685 --> 01:00:49,479         I mean, you know, I had                 some personal things        1289 01:00:49,520 --> 01:00:52,690            that were going on              that bothered me quite a bit.    1290 01:00:52,732 --> 01:00:54,817                [Vinny]                       Yeah, in the beginning,       1291 01:00:54,859 --> 01:00:57,945              it was, like,                     a normal relationship.       1292 01:00:57,987 --> 01:01:00,156              Everything was                    hunky dory, you know.        1293 01:01:00,198 --> 01:01:03,534         And then, things changed             between Wendy and Ronnie,      1294 01:01:03,576 --> 01:01:05,745                you know?              1295 01:01:05,787 --> 01:01:07,163          You know, obviously             it's very hard being married     1296 01:01:07,205 --> 01:01:08,956      to a musician for a start,      1297 01:01:08,998 --> 01:01:11,626           and managing him,                 as well, was very hard.       1298 01:01:11,668 --> 01:01:14,003         Ronnie was a wonderful,                    sweet, loving,           1299 01:01:14,045 --> 01:01:16,839              giving person,                 but he was a perfectionist.     1300 01:01:16,881 --> 01:01:19,967        He had dreams, and he was                gonna fulfill them.         1301 01:01:20,009 --> 01:01:21,511             And if you were                     not to his standard,        1302 01:01:21,552 --> 01:01:23,680       you were going to get it.      1303 01:01:23,721 --> 01:01:28,017             He would give it               to his crew, his band, to me.    1304 01:01:28,059 --> 01:01:31,854           So, we had a lot                of fights, a lot of, um...      1305 01:01:31,896 --> 01:01:33,856        I'll leave for a while,              come back for a while,        1306 01:01:33,898 --> 01:01:37,944      back and forth and back and        forth during our relationship.    1307 01:01:37,985 --> 01:01:40,321     You know, their relationship          was unique. Let's face it.      1308 01:01:40,363 --> 01:01:42,156                It wasn't                     traditional by any means.      1309 01:01:42,198 --> 01:01:44,450              It wasn't just            an artist-manager relationship,    1310 01:01:44,492 --> 01:01:46,661       and it wasn't just a husband             and wife relationship.       1311 01:01:46,703 --> 01:01:49,330               It was a lot                    of very complex things.       1312 01:01:49,372 --> 01:01:51,582           Any relationship                    has ups and downs,          1313 01:01:51,624 --> 01:01:53,751            and we had many                      ups and downs,            1314 01:01:53,793 --> 01:01:55,920      but we were always a team.      1315 01:01:55,962 --> 01:01:57,588             I had his back,                       he had my back,           1316 01:01:57,630 --> 01:02:00,383             so we were gonna                 fight to the end together.     1317 01:02:00,425 --> 01:02:06,180                                   1318 01:02:06,222 --> 01:02:08,057            In the early '80s,         1319 01:02:08,099 --> 01:02:10,393     Los Angeles was just the most          exciting place on Earth.       1320 01:02:10,435 --> 01:02:13,229                                   1321 01:02:13,271 --> 01:02:16,399      The early '80s were badass.               They were badass.          1322 01:02:16,441 --> 01:02:19,652     [Vinny]   It was magic. All of      a sudden, the Strip came alive.    1323 01:02:19,694 --> 01:02:21,195      [Jeff] Rock bands everywhere,             and there were parties       1324 01:02:21,237 --> 01:02:23,573               every night,                 but everybody was into music.    1325 01:02:23,614 --> 01:02:26,576        Everybody was also kind of             into recreational things      1326 01:02:26,617 --> 01:02:28,411               that perhaps                  weren't as healthy for you.     1327 01:02:28,453 --> 01:02:30,413        Most of all, there was           just all this great rock music    1328 01:02:30,455 --> 01:02:32,373      and all these great bands.      1329 01:02:32,415 --> 01:02:34,333          And my distinct memory               is Ronnie kind of being       1330 01:02:34,375 --> 01:02:36,252        in the center of all that.     1331 01:02:36,294 --> 01:02:38,755           You know, he fit in                   in a different way.         1332 01:02:38,796 --> 01:02:40,715             Ronnie wasn't                    a guy that was like,         1333 01:02:40,757 --> 01:02:42,592          "Hey, let's go out              and chase chicks," you know?     1334 01:02:42,633 --> 01:02:46,596    Always the conversation seemed       to go to the same thing--music.  1335 01:02:46,637 --> 01:02:49,265           I think he acted                  more like a role model.       1336 01:02:49,307 --> 01:02:51,726         There was this whole              undercurrent of metal bands     1337 01:02:51,768 --> 01:02:54,061               around L.A.                      that looked up to him,       1338 01:02:54,103 --> 01:02:55,772        and he was aware of that,      1339 01:02:55,813 --> 01:02:57,482        and he was very nurturing                   to everybody.            1340 01:02:57,523 --> 01:02:58,941        "Are you doing your best?      1341 01:02:58,983 --> 01:03:00,234              Are you doing                       the greatest thing         1342 01:03:00,276 --> 01:03:02,779      you could possibly be doing?"    1343 01:03:02,820 --> 01:03:05,948                [Rudy]                     Globally, metal was thriving,    1344 01:03:05,990 --> 01:03:09,368        was getting on the radio,                  it was selling.           1345 01:03:09,410 --> 01:03:12,580             And it's getting               introduced to a lot of people    1346 01:03:12,622 --> 01:03:15,541         on what was a new thing               at the time called MTV.       1347 01:03:15,583 --> 01:03:19,086              The advantages                 of the MTV video explosion,     1348 01:03:19,128 --> 01:03:20,671  you can't understate it, really,  1349 01:03:20,713 --> 01:03:22,381              'cause it--                    it had a lot of value.        1350 01:03:22,423 --> 01:03:25,343       When I was in Quiet Riot,             "Cum On Feel the Noise"       1351 01:03:25,384 --> 01:03:27,804        was on every half-hour.                   It's timing.             1352 01:03:27,845 --> 01:03:30,473     Ronnie had just put together                 the Dio band,            1353 01:03:30,515 --> 01:03:34,310           and all of a sudden              he's getting the MTV exposure.  1354 01:03:34,352 --> 01:03:35,895          "Rainbow in the Dark"                  became the one that         1355 01:03:35,937 --> 01:03:37,313         MTV played all the time.      1356 01:03:37,355 --> 01:03:38,773          Ronnie loved that one        1357 01:03:38,815 --> 01:03:40,983          because it made him                   look really tall.          1358 01:03:41,025 --> 01:03:43,611          Him in the white boots             on the roof walking around,     1359 01:03:43,653 --> 01:03:45,446          I was like, "I want                white boots like that."       1360 01:03:45,488 --> 01:03:47,490         [Lita] Record companies              would dump all this money      1361 01:03:47,532 --> 01:03:50,409          into the music videos.       1362 01:03:50,451 --> 01:03:53,996        I mean, now if you had to           look back, you could probably    1363 01:03:54,038 --> 01:03:55,581         do something way better                 with your cellphone.        1364 01:03:55,623 --> 01:04:00,169          [laughs] It's true.         1365 01:04:00,211 --> 01:04:03,798      So, he was at the forefront      of that, but he--he looked mean.  1366 01:04:03,840 --> 01:04:05,216        You know, he looked tough.     1367 01:04:05,258 --> 01:04:07,927                He was one                     of the very few artists       1368 01:04:07,969 --> 01:04:10,888              that actually                  had that metal image going.     1369 01:04:10,930 --> 01:04:13,224        You know, look at Dokken,               "Breaking the Chains,"       1370 01:04:13,266 --> 01:04:16,060         They got me chained down             in a kimono and I'm like,      1371 01:04:16,102 --> 01:04:19,230               "Oh boy."                    And then you cut to Dio--      1372 01:04:19,272 --> 01:04:22,358               That was                     a totally different vibe.      1373 01:04:22,400 --> 01:04:24,443     [Rudy]   Ronnie was pretty much         all about just going out there  1374 01:04:24,485 --> 01:04:28,197            and being as metal                  as you could ever be.        1375 01:04:28,239 --> 01:04:29,365             [thunderclap]            1376 01:04:29,407 --> 01:04:32,368                                   1377 01:04:37,707 --> 01:04:40,459  I got this mysterious phone call          from these producers         1378 01:04:40,501 --> 01:04:42,712      that wanted me to come over                to Warner Bros.           1379 01:04:42,753 --> 01:04:45,715            They told me that                 they had had great success     1380 01:04:45,756 --> 01:04:48,551       with "Holy Diver," and they           wanted to do something epic     1381 01:04:48,593 --> 01:04:51,721      to launch "The Last in Line."    1382 01:04:51,762 --> 01:04:56,350        So, Jeff, the Warner Bros.      executive, popped a cassette in,  1383 01:04:56,392 --> 01:04:57,810            and I'm going,                 "Oh, this is kind of cool,"     1384 01:04:57,852 --> 01:05:00,229      We're a laugh without a tear  1385 01:05:00,271 --> 01:05:03,733         And there's this moment                in that song where...        1386 01:05:03,774 --> 01:05:06,611             We are coming           1387 01:05:06,652 --> 01:05:10,489            And then Ronnie                uncorks his amazing voice,      1388 01:05:10,531 --> 01:05:12,199           and I'm not going               to try to even imitate it.      1389 01:05:12,241 --> 01:05:15,912                  Home               1390 01:05:15,953 --> 01:05:18,706          [continues vocalizing]       1391 01:05:18,748 --> 01:05:21,584        You know, a chill goes            down my spine, and I thought,    1392 01:05:21,626 --> 01:05:24,295       "Okay, I--there could be              a video in this song."        1393 01:05:24,337 --> 01:05:27,131         Jeff pitched me an idea.      1394 01:05:27,173 --> 01:05:31,093        He wanted to have a video              about teenagers in hell.      1395 01:05:31,135 --> 01:05:37,266    So, uh, the studio wants to do     a video about teenagers in hell,  1396 01:05:37,308 --> 01:05:41,604         and Ronnie had a much           more philosophical take on it.    1397 01:05:41,646 --> 01:05:45,441        And he basically told me,            "Well, from birth to death,     1398 01:05:45,483 --> 01:05:48,110           we're all in a line.        1399 01:05:48,152 --> 01:05:51,739               And imagine                   if you're the last in line."    1400 01:05:51,781 --> 01:05:53,115                                    1401 01:05:53,157 --> 01:05:54,617            And then he says,                      "And of course,           1402 01:05:54,659 --> 01:05:56,202  you've got to put Murray in it."  1403 01:05:56,243 --> 01:05:58,287        Murray? who's Murray?"        1404 01:05:58,329 --> 01:06:00,706         [Vinny]   Well, Murray,        1405 01:06:00,748 --> 01:06:05,419       you think his name would be            Damien or fucking Lucifer.     1406 01:06:05,461 --> 01:06:10,091    Ronnie one day, said "Murray."            So, he became Murray.        1407 01:06:10,132 --> 01:06:15,638               We'll know                       for the first time         1408 01:06:15,680 --> 01:06:18,933        If we're evil or divine      1409 01:06:18,975 --> 01:06:21,185         We're the last in line      1410 01:06:21,227 --> 01:06:23,646                 [Don]                      And so, I basically came up     1411 01:06:23,688 --> 01:06:26,774      with this slightly wonky idea          which is about a, you know,     1412 01:06:26,816 --> 01:06:28,067          a normal teenage kid.        1413 01:06:28,109 --> 01:06:30,027      He's, you know, going around.    1414 01:06:30,069 --> 01:06:32,113          He's got his delivery,            and he goes into the elevator,  1415 01:06:32,154 --> 01:06:34,615        and he pushes the button.      1416 01:06:34,657 --> 01:06:37,493            And I kind of took                The Wizard of Oz   motif        1417 01:06:37,535 --> 01:06:41,956       of, you know, being swept up         in a tornado and inverted it.    1418 01:06:41,998 --> 01:06:44,083       I got the teenagers in hell,               and I got the line         1419 01:06:44,125 --> 01:06:47,003                 and, um,                      Murray in the distance.       1420 01:06:47,044 --> 01:06:49,588              Last in line           1421 01:06:49,630 --> 01:06:51,924                                   1422 01:06:51,966 --> 01:06:55,678            See how we shine         1423 01:06:55,720 --> 01:06:58,514       [Glenn]   All the elements               of Ronnie's career seem       1424 01:06:58,556 --> 01:07:00,975        to come together with Dio,     1425 01:07:01,017 --> 01:07:04,770             the culmination                of his extraordinary presence    1426 01:07:04,812 --> 01:07:08,190        and extraordinary ability                  to write songs.           1427 01:07:08,232 --> 01:07:11,360        They weren't top 40 songs,                but the key factor         1428 01:07:11,402 --> 01:07:13,696             is that he knew                       how to connect.           1429 01:07:13,738 --> 01:07:17,575            That was the key,                that very direct connection     1430 01:07:17,616 --> 01:07:20,536            with his audience,                     which fans felt.          1431 01:07:20,578 --> 01:07:25,416              [cheering]              1432 01:07:25,458 --> 01:07:26,792             Is that good?                      Is that in focus?          1433 01:07:26,834 --> 01:07:27,918          You got that shit?          1434 01:07:27,960 --> 01:07:29,503        [crew member] I got it.       1435 01:07:32,131 --> 01:07:36,469        Where I really came online                as a-a metal head,         1436 01:07:36,510 --> 01:07:39,972            you know, '80s,               that period was real, like...    1437 01:07:40,014 --> 01:07:42,308             Devil-heavy.             1438 01:07:42,349 --> 01:07:45,978          Faceless creatures                in robes, from my study,       1439 01:07:46,020 --> 01:07:48,564           symbolize Druids,                    which, of course,          1440 01:07:48,606 --> 01:07:51,859          you go back to, uh,                    Satan worship.            1441 01:07:51,901 --> 01:07:56,363        It was Satan. There was             something extra seductive      1442 01:07:56,405 --> 01:08:00,242    and...and powerful about that.    1443 01:08:00,284 --> 01:08:03,329         Looking back on it now,                 there is some humor.        1444 01:08:03,370 --> 01:08:06,707       All right now, now you're          going to play this backwards?    1445 01:08:06,749 --> 01:08:09,627        Right. And then you'll            hear there's power in Satan.     1446 01:08:09,668 --> 01:08:14,215        There is power in Satan      1447 01:08:14,256 --> 01:08:16,717        - Did y'all hear that?           - [audience member] I heard it!  1448 01:08:16,759 --> 01:08:19,470            [Jack] My mom was                     a little concerned         1449 01:08:19,512 --> 01:08:22,681           with my consumption                     of Devil music.           1450 01:08:22,723 --> 01:08:25,684                                    1451 01:08:25,726 --> 01:08:29,188        And she gave me this tape                that was a preacher         1452 01:08:29,230 --> 01:08:31,440             who was talking                      about evil music.          1453 01:08:31,482 --> 01:08:34,360          Daily, young people                     are bombarded            1454 01:08:34,401 --> 01:08:38,948        by distorted visual images           and twisted music messages.     1455 01:08:38,989 --> 01:08:41,617  [Jack] It was supposed to, like,   turn me away from the evil ways    1456 01:08:41,659 --> 01:08:43,494          but I was like, "Oh."        1457 01:08:43,536 --> 01:08:46,747         It was just sort of this             rad tape that turned me on     1458 01:08:46,789 --> 01:08:48,791            to new music that                I hadn't listened to before.    1459 01:08:48,833 --> 01:08:51,210        It had the opposite effect          of what it was supposed to do.  1460 01:08:51,252 --> 01:08:52,545              [chuckles]              1461 01:08:52,586 --> 01:08:54,839                                   1462 01:08:54,880 --> 01:08:56,632           Dio had some Devil.         1463 01:08:56,674 --> 01:08:59,552             Dio's Devil was                  a little more theatrical,      1464 01:08:59,593 --> 01:09:01,637       like a Shakespearean Devil.     1465 01:09:01,679 --> 01:09:05,558        It's the thing that makes           all great stories interesting    1466 01:09:05,599 --> 01:09:07,351                 is like,                     how good is your villain?      1467 01:09:07,393 --> 01:09:09,562             What's   Star Wars                    without Darth Vader?        1468 01:09:09,603 --> 01:09:12,898         How good is the Bible                 without the Devil?          1469 01:09:12,940 --> 01:09:14,775            Dude, no spice.           1470 01:09:14,817 --> 01:09:17,361           [Vinny]   There was                blowback of people thinking,    1471 01:09:17,403 --> 01:09:20,364           "Oh, he's just some                  sort of demonic guy."        1472 01:09:20,406 --> 01:09:21,907  I'm sure the evangelical church,              for instance,            1473 01:09:21,949 --> 01:09:23,450       in the States, isn't too             happy about what you do.       1474 01:09:23,492 --> 01:09:25,161         Not too pleased, no.         1475 01:09:25,202 --> 01:09:26,954      Well, they think that, uh,                  I'm the Devil            1476 01:09:26,996 --> 01:09:29,665     or this particular sign means    1477 01:09:29,707 --> 01:09:32,209      I'm putting a curse on you.     1478 01:09:32,251 --> 01:09:34,086     And what does that sign mean,              with two fingers?          1479 01:09:34,128 --> 01:09:37,131        Oh, I just cursed you,            and you're gonna die in hell.    1480 01:09:37,173 --> 01:09:40,968           Well, there's a myth              that the Dio logo says devil    1481 01:09:41,010 --> 01:09:43,220         when turned upside down.      1482 01:09:43,262 --> 01:09:46,056        That's not true at all.                    Not at all.             1483 01:09:47,391 --> 01:09:48,976      Christians ruin everything.     1484 01:09:49,018 --> 01:09:51,187  I'm a--I'm an ordained minister,                you know.              1485 01:09:51,228 --> 01:09:53,355           I believe in God               and Jesus and all that stuff.    1486 01:09:53,397 --> 01:09:55,107      They just ruin everything.                 They're idiots.           1487 01:09:55,149 --> 01:09:58,903         You want it to be dark.               You want it to be scary.      1488 01:09:58,944 --> 01:10:02,531       You want it to be powerful.            You want it to be intense.     1489 01:10:02,573 --> 01:10:06,035        For Ronnie, it was a tool.           He knew how to communicate.     1490 01:10:06,076 --> 01:10:07,119         [Ronnie]   I don't believe            in either heaven and hell      1491 01:10:07,161 --> 01:10:09,622           as a place to go to.        1492 01:10:09,663 --> 01:10:12,124  At the end of the day, if we all     just believe in the same thing,  1493 01:10:12,166 --> 01:10:14,210      you know, that we've got a          choice between good and evil.    1494 01:10:14,251 --> 01:10:15,711        Okay, make your choice.           That's all it's about to me.     1495 01:10:15,753 --> 01:10:18,714                                   1496 01:10:28,390 --> 01:10:30,392                [Vinny]                    The whole good and evil thing,  1497 01:10:30,434 --> 01:10:33,812               it came from                  a very deep place within him    1498 01:10:33,854 --> 01:10:36,690             where he wanted                      to empower people.         1499 01:10:36,732 --> 01:10:40,236             He authentically                believed that the weaker guy    1500 01:10:40,277 --> 01:10:42,905      needs to stand up for himself.  1501 01:10:42,947 --> 01:10:45,074       [Dan]   You can accomplish               anything without people       1502 01:10:45,115 --> 01:10:48,244       influencing you to do stuff            that you don't want to do.     1503 01:10:48,285 --> 01:10:50,955               As a kid,                   I just remember how strong      1504 01:10:50,996 --> 01:10:52,790             and resonant                     and powerful it was.         1505 01:10:52,831 --> 01:10:55,793                                   1506 01:11:07,471 --> 01:11:09,640       [Ronnie]   I've always felt           to be somewhat of a spokesman    1507 01:11:09,682 --> 01:11:11,642      for people who may be lonely,    1508 01:11:11,684 --> 01:11:15,396             maybe have been                      looked down upon.          1509 01:11:15,437 --> 01:11:17,773           [Craig]   His heart                  was for the downtrodden       1510 01:11:17,815 --> 01:11:19,608           and the black sheep                      of the globe.            1511 01:11:19,650 --> 01:11:22,194       He was our voice because            that's how he saw himself.      1512 01:11:22,236 --> 01:11:27,616           Climb the rainbow         1513 01:11:27,658 --> 01:11:29,535             You're a star           1514 01:11:29,576 --> 01:11:35,082        We are forever you and I     1515 01:11:35,124 --> 01:11:40,379                We stand             1516 01:11:40,421 --> 01:11:44,300      At the time, uh, they were         doing, uh, "We are the World."    1517 01:11:44,341 --> 01:11:47,219            We are the world                     We are the world          1518 01:11:47,261 --> 01:11:48,971          We are the children        1519 01:11:49,013 --> 01:11:51,807       Yeah, we are the children     1520 01:11:51,849 --> 01:11:53,517            Ronnie had wanted                    to be part of that,         1521 01:11:53,559 --> 01:11:57,021          but we were nasty,               heavy metal, dirty people.      1522 01:11:57,062 --> 01:11:59,523         We are fire and stone       1523 01:11:59,565 --> 01:12:03,319             And we all want                    to touch a rainbow         1524 01:12:03,360 --> 01:12:06,613         [Eddie] You know, often,               metal is marginalized        1525 01:12:06,655 --> 01:12:08,741              and thought of                   as lowbrow or whatever.       1526 01:12:08,782 --> 01:12:11,118     So, many times those artists                are not invited           1527 01:12:11,160 --> 01:12:14,246         to the charity events             and the charity recordings.     1528 01:12:14,288 --> 01:12:18,459            So, Ronnie decided                to do his own heavy metal,     1529 01:12:18,500 --> 01:12:21,503          "We are the World,"                  and it was awesome.         1530 01:12:21,545 --> 01:12:24,506                                   1531 01:12:28,385 --> 01:12:31,180            This project came               about because of a radio-thon    1532 01:12:31,221 --> 01:12:34,933         that the station KLOS                 held for two days.          1533 01:12:34,975 --> 01:12:36,810       Our bass player, Jimmy Bain,    1534 01:12:36,852 --> 01:12:38,270            and guitar player,                     Vivian Campbell,          1535 01:12:38,312 --> 01:12:39,980        noticed the lack of people     1536 01:12:40,022 --> 01:12:43,650        representing our genre            of music, our kind of stuff.     1537 01:12:43,692 --> 01:12:45,652          Ronnie just wanted                to show that we wanted--       1538 01:12:45,694 --> 01:12:47,529         We want to help, too,        1539 01:12:47,571 --> 01:12:49,782           but do something              that's a little bit different.    1540 01:12:49,823 --> 01:12:53,702     [Rudy]   Every single musician            that made it in the '80s,      1541 01:12:53,744 --> 01:12:56,080           you know, we grew up                  listening to Ronnie.        1542 01:12:56,121 --> 01:12:59,208      So, any time Ronnie would say,         "Listen, I need you guys,"     1543 01:12:59,249 --> 01:13:01,877              and we'll say,                     "Yes, we're there,"         1544 01:13:01,919 --> 01:13:03,879            because we wanted                      to be like him.           1545 01:13:03,921 --> 01:13:06,548      He was a hero to all of us.     1546 01:13:06,590 --> 01:13:09,843         [Eddie]   You can think             about anybody who was anybody    1547 01:13:09,885 --> 01:13:12,596         on top at that time,                 and they were there.         1548 01:13:12,638 --> 01:13:14,056        [reporter] Do you know                 a lot of the people         1549 01:13:14,098 --> 01:13:15,766           involved with it?          1550 01:13:15,808 --> 01:13:17,518           Well, I'm meeting                them out there, aren't I?      1551 01:13:17,559 --> 01:13:20,729        I met the Yngwie Malmsteen          person, you know. He's great.    1552 01:13:20,771 --> 01:13:22,481        I like the way he puts                "Yngwie J. Malmsteen"        1553 01:13:22,523 --> 01:13:24,149             on his album,            1554 01:13:24,191 --> 01:13:25,567        so you know, you don't           confuse him with all the other    1555 01:13:25,609 --> 01:13:27,528           Yngwie Malmsteens                    in the business.           1556 01:13:27,569 --> 01:13:29,363           [Rob]   You've got                     all of these people.        1557 01:13:29,405 --> 01:13:31,073       We all know about each other    1558 01:13:31,115 --> 01:13:33,659          and what we're famous                for doing or not doing.       1559 01:13:33,700 --> 01:13:37,913          Ronnie was the captain            of the ship, and he steered us  1560 01:13:37,955 --> 01:13:42,042        through what could have           been an absolute catastrophe.    1561 01:13:42,084 --> 01:13:45,712          But singers and songs             will never change it alone     1562 01:13:45,754 --> 01:13:50,384         So we are calling you,                     calling you            1563 01:13:50,426 --> 01:13:52,428    - You can do better than that.                   - Yeah.               1564 01:13:52,469 --> 01:13:55,889     Everybody's giving a thousand       percent. You know, you can't...  1565 01:13:55,931 --> 01:13:57,891              [groaning]                 "It's just a couple of notes."    1566 01:13:57,933 --> 01:13:59,393       You can't do that because               there's Ronnie Dio,         1567 01:13:59,435 --> 01:14:01,270            and he's the boss.         1568 01:14:01,311 --> 01:14:05,190           'Cause we are fire        1569 01:14:05,232 --> 01:14:10,779

 He's a neighborhood boy,       1701 01:20:30,784 --> 01:20:34,246           Ronnie James Dio                 and the Dioski brothers!       1702 01:20:34,287 --> 01:20:36,331                 Yay!                 1703 01:20:36,373 --> 01:20:39,459       [Mick]   At this point with             Ronnie's career, you know,     1704 01:20:39,501 --> 01:20:42,629  he'd been following his own path             since he was a kid         1705 01:20:42,671 --> 01:20:46,675            and reached a kind                of new pinnacle with Dio.      1706 01:20:46,716 --> 01:20:48,677     [Vivian]   We had a lot of fun            on the first two records,      1707 01:20:48,718 --> 01:20:51,012           by the time we were              doing the   Sacred Heart   album,    1708 01:20:51,054 --> 01:20:52,848        it was a very dark record                  for us to make.           1709 01:20:52,889 --> 01:20:54,850              It was really,                      really difficult.          1710 01:20:54,891 --> 01:20:56,393      [Vinny]   All those fun times              we had at Sound City,        1711 01:20:56,434 --> 01:20:58,311        it was a great atmosphere.     1712 01:20:58,353 --> 01:21:00,522        It wasn't such a business.     1713 01:21:00,564 --> 01:21:02,649                And then,                      the business end of this      1714 01:21:02,691 --> 01:21:04,776             started getting                     really frustrating.         1715 01:21:04,818 --> 01:21:08,029      and Viv was the one that would        point it out after a while.     1716 01:21:08,071 --> 01:21:10,448     [Vivian]   The promise was made         to us that by the third album,  1717 01:21:10,490 --> 01:21:12,826             it would be more                 of an equitable situation,     1718 01:21:12,868 --> 01:21:14,953               and I was--                      I was a squeaky wheel.       1719 01:21:14,995 --> 01:21:17,163      I mean, the third album came,           and I was the one going...     1720 01:21:17,205 --> 01:21:20,625             - [knocking]                 - "Uh, excuse me." [chuckles]    1721 01:21:20,667 --> 01:21:22,711    [Vinny]   Vivian had just told me         that he wanted more money,     1722 01:21:22,752 --> 01:21:26,047      From Ronnie's perspective,          when I'd bring it up to him,     1723 01:21:26,089 --> 01:21:29,634            he looked at it                as a young kid who he found     1724 01:21:29,676 --> 01:21:32,345            and put on the map                that was being ungrateful      1725 01:21:32,387 --> 01:21:34,890      and pulling the leverage play.  1726 01:21:34,931 --> 01:21:36,850      Well, you know, you should            get paid for what you do.      1727 01:21:36,892 --> 01:21:38,393          And when   Sacred Heart                  came around, I said,        1728 01:21:38,435 --> 01:21:40,395          "What do you got, Viv?             We've had four months off."     1729 01:21:40,437 --> 01:21:43,231       "Oh, nothing." "Oh, really?"              "Nope, not a thing."        1730 01:21:43,273 --> 01:21:44,566          "Oh, I guess I didn't              pay you enough, then did I?"    1731 01:21:44,608 --> 01:21:46,735           Money is not what                   music is all about.         1732 01:21:46,776 --> 01:21:49,571       [Wendy]   Ronnie had years            and years and years of banging  1733 01:21:49,613 --> 01:21:53,909          on the doors, and Elf         and Rainbow and everything else.  1734 01:21:53,950 --> 01:21:56,411           You can't just have                somebody come in the door      1735 01:21:56,453 --> 01:21:58,371         and go, "Oh, yeah, well,             I'm as important as you."      1736 01:21:58,413 --> 01:22:00,081        The band was called Dio...     1737 01:22:00,123 --> 01:22:02,584             for a reason.            1738 01:22:02,626 --> 01:22:06,046      [Mick]   He understands that            whether he likes it or not,     1739 01:22:06,087 --> 01:22:10,926       this time I'm the Blackmore,                 I'm the Iommi.           1740 01:22:10,967 --> 01:22:12,844              He's the boss.           1741 01:22:12,886 --> 01:22:16,264              After a while,            Ronnie got tired of it and said,  1742 01:22:16,306 --> 01:22:17,933      "We're going to get rid of him          and get somebody else,"       1743 01:22:17,974 --> 01:22:20,644    and I'm like, "Are you crazy?"    1744 01:22:20,685 --> 01:22:25,774      Back in those days, losing         a band member was a huge deal,    1745 01:22:25,815 --> 01:22:28,944             especially a guy               that was a budding guitar hero  1746 01:22:28,985 --> 01:22:32,364           in Vivian Campbell.         1747 01:22:32,405 --> 01:22:35,909     [Wendy]   Yes, it was magical.          It was great in the beginning,  1748 01:22:35,951 --> 01:22:38,620                but people                      have to go sometimes.        1749 01:22:38,662 --> 01:22:41,623                You know,                     Vivian Campbell had to go.     1750 01:22:41,665 --> 01:22:46,002     I mean. It was Ronnie's band.    1751 01:22:50,840 --> 01:22:52,801        [Ronnie]   You sometimes                    get very trapped          1752 01:22:52,842 --> 01:22:56,513          by your own existence,                uh, you must maintain.       1753 01:22:56,554 --> 01:22:59,849               When you get                 to a certain success plateau,    1754 01:22:59,891 --> 01:23:02,686       the only thing you can do is          to either try to maintain it    1755 01:23:02,727 --> 01:23:04,312           or reach above that.        1756 01:23:04,354 --> 01:23:07,857        When I got the call to,                to join, you know,          1757 01:23:07,899 --> 01:23:09,693     headlining 20,000-seat arenas                every night,             1758 01:23:09,734 --> 01:23:12,529    it was like... [exhales deeply]  1759 01:23:12,570 --> 01:23:15,949            And so back then,               heavy metal was going strong.    1760 01:23:15,991 --> 01:23:18,868       [Don]   And that was during       the time that bands came to L.A.  1761 01:23:18,910 --> 01:23:21,121  to find their fame and fortune,    1762 01:23:21,162 --> 01:23:24,040       and they all got their hair               ran up to, you know,        1763 01:23:24,082 --> 01:23:26,626       ten feet and tons of makeup.    1764 01:23:26,668 --> 01:23:28,878        This is the reason I am           a rock 'n' roll drummer, see?    1765 01:23:28,920 --> 01:23:30,630        Because girls like this            hang out with guys like me!     1766 01:23:30,672 --> 01:23:32,841          Can you believe it?         1767 01:23:32,882 --> 01:23:36,177          Motley Crue, Skid Row.                We looked like girls.        1768 01:23:36,219 --> 01:23:38,513                 [laughs]              1769 01:23:38,555 --> 01:23:42,684     I mean, not just us, but you         know, all that look was huge.    1770 01:23:42,726 --> 01:23:46,354        And I'll always say it,        that the rock scene of the '80s,  1771 01:23:46,396 --> 01:23:49,149         we were our own undoing.      1772 01:23:49,190 --> 01:23:52,527         It became more important                 about their look,          1773 01:23:52,569 --> 01:23:56,281          and not the songs--                  bands like Poison.          1774 01:23:56,322 --> 01:23:57,866              Unskinny Bop           1775 01:23:57,907 --> 01:23:59,826           "Unskinny Bop" bop?         1776 01:23:59,868 --> 01:24:02,203            Ronnie couldn't                 write "Unskinny Bop" bop       1777 01:24:02,245 --> 01:24:04,372    if they put a gun to his head.    1778 01:24:04,414 --> 01:24:09,669    [Dan]   Dio--he was never a part           of that hair metal thing.      1779 01:24:09,711 --> 01:24:11,880         He wasn't singing about             getting laid and doing drugs    1780 01:24:11,921 --> 01:24:13,631    and, you know, crap like that.    1781 01:24:13,673 --> 01:24:15,675                I mean,                      the music was rubbish,        1782 01:24:15,717 --> 01:24:18,887          and they destroyed              what the rest of us created.     1783 01:24:18,928 --> 01:24:21,139     [Vinny]   There's   Sacred Heart            and what's the other one?      1784 01:24:21,181 --> 01:24:23,600        Dream Evil,   I don't know.      1785 01:24:23,641 --> 01:24:25,310          Was there another one               after that? I don't know.      1786 01:24:25,351 --> 01:24:27,645       Sales, they started going                 down, you know?           1787 01:24:27,687 --> 01:24:30,857         And MTV, that was built               upon heavy metal music,       1788 01:24:30,899 --> 01:24:33,068              suddenly went,                    "Oh, no more of that."       1789 01:24:35,320 --> 01:24:37,906            - [screeching]                 - [announcer]   120 minutes.      1790 01:24:37,947 --> 01:24:40,033        [reporter]   Right here,        1791 01:24:40,075 --> 01:24:41,826         the second of tonight's              two world premiere videos.     1792 01:24:41,868 --> 01:24:43,912       It's from the Seattle band,                     Nirvana.              1793 01:24:43,953 --> 01:24:46,039                 Here is                    the planet's first look at...    1794 01:24:46,081 --> 01:24:48,917                 [sniffs]                     "Smells like Teen Spirit."     1795 01:24:48,958 --> 01:24:51,336      ["Smells Like Teen Spirit"                     plays]                1796 01:24:51,377 --> 01:24:54,255          Basically, right after             Nirvana had their first play    1797 01:24:54,297 --> 01:24:57,258            of "Teen Spirit,"                   it changed everything.       1798 01:24:57,300 --> 01:25:01,262                                   1799 01:25:01,304 --> 01:25:03,098             It needed it.            1800 01:25:03,139 --> 01:25:05,683       You know, the MTV toilet               needed to be flushed,        1801 01:25:05,725 --> 01:25:07,769          you know and clean up        1802 01:25:07,811 --> 01:25:10,146       and--and get something else               in there, you know?         1803 01:25:10,188 --> 01:25:12,398         You're talking to a guy       1804 01:25:12,440 --> 01:25:15,110                who worked                    in rock radio for decades.     1805 01:25:15,151 --> 01:25:19,447        I literally saw the day           the program director comes in    1806 01:25:19,489 --> 01:25:24,244      and says, "All of these CDs--               in a box. No more.         1807 01:25:24,285 --> 01:25:27,288               Here's what                       we're playing now."         1808 01:25:27,330 --> 01:25:29,749      There's a big misconception           that the birth of Nirvana      1809 01:25:29,791 --> 01:25:33,920             and all that                  took down the "hair bands,"     1810 01:25:33,962 --> 01:25:35,880          and it certainly did.        1811 01:25:35,922 --> 01:25:38,883              But it didn't                   discriminate to just that.     1812 01:25:38,925 --> 01:25:41,761       It took down everything.           Everybody got hit with that.     1813 01:25:41,803 --> 01:25:43,721             I don't care if                   you were Black Sabbath,       1814 01:25:43,763 --> 01:25:46,808        Judas Priest, Iron Maiden,                whoever you were,          1815 01:25:46,850 --> 01:25:51,646     across the board, was one of         the most harsh, abrupt things    1816 01:25:51,688 --> 01:25:55,441      I've ever seen in my life.             All of this goes away,        1817 01:25:55,483 --> 01:25:58,111            and all of this                    is suddenly uncool.         1818 01:25:58,153 --> 01:26:01,656    It was like that, cut and dry.    1819 01:26:01,698 --> 01:26:04,492     - [producer] Dio in the box?             - Dio was in the box.        1820 01:26:04,534 --> 01:26:07,996                                   1821 01:26:08,037 --> 01:26:10,832                [thud]                1822 01:26:15,211 --> 01:26:19,048    somber acoustic instrumental    1823 01:26:19,090 --> 01:26:21,467           [Wendy]   The '90s                   were the darkest period       1824 01:26:21,509 --> 01:26:24,637              because he got                  dropped from Warner Bros.      1825 01:26:24,679 --> 01:26:26,389           Losing a record deal                    was devastating.          1826 01:26:26,431 --> 01:26:30,185          Absolute devastating.        1827 01:26:30,226 --> 01:26:33,438            The music industry               at that time, it was like...    1828 01:26:33,479 --> 01:26:36,983    Pfft. "We don't care, we don't          care about you anymore."       1829 01:26:37,025 --> 01:26:38,818         For someone like Ronnie,      1830 01:26:38,860 --> 01:26:40,737              it did get                  a little awkward in the '90s.    1831 01:26:40,778 --> 01:26:45,491           Nu metal and grunge               became what the public face     1832 01:26:45,533 --> 01:26:47,785        of metal was depicted as.      1833 01:26:47,827 --> 01:26:49,579               Underground,                    death metal, grindcore,       1834 01:26:49,621 --> 01:26:52,040      black metal got more intense.    1835 01:26:52,081 --> 01:26:55,210        The point being that stuff              like Ronnie James Dio,       1836 01:26:55,251 --> 01:26:57,670               people just                       kind of maybe said,         1837 01:26:57,712 --> 01:27:01,633        "We don't need any of that          stuff. That's dinosaur shit."    1838 01:27:01,674 --> 01:27:04,344        [Ronnie]   Bands like Dio             will find it very difficult.    1839 01:27:04,385 --> 01:27:06,304             It's only really                 alternate rock that seems      1840 01:27:06,346 --> 01:27:07,555              to be getting                     most of the attention.       1841 01:27:10,308 --> 01:27:12,560       Where--Where is it going?           God knows. I mean, that's--     1842 01:27:12,602 --> 01:27:14,812           A lot of that has                  to do with, you know,        1843 01:27:14,854 --> 01:27:17,106     with its acceptance, really.     1844 01:27:17,148 --> 01:27:19,025          It'll go as far as                 people allow us to go.        1845 01:27:19,067 --> 01:27:21,986         [Mick]   The mid-'90s,                 I remember he came over       1846 01:27:22,028 --> 01:27:25,406        to London to do interviews           to promote his latest album.    1847 01:27:25,448 --> 01:27:28,576    I had to beg, borrow, and steal         to try and get someone        1848 01:27:28,618 --> 01:27:31,496    to interview Ronnie James Dio.    1849 01:27:31,537 --> 01:27:34,874          I couldn't get anybody        interested in interviewing him.    1850 01:27:34,916 --> 01:27:37,252        [Wendy]   That was, like,             a really down time for him.     1851 01:27:37,293 --> 01:27:39,420      He didn't feel loved anymore.    1852 01:27:46,886 --> 01:27:49,264          Well, because it's               a world that, uh, you know,     1853 01:27:49,305 --> 01:27:50,974     it's not a very happy place.     1854 01:27:51,015 --> 01:27:54,686    It's a world we live in that's,       uh, just really depressing.     1855 01:27:54,727 --> 01:27:56,646       And it couldn't allow me               to talk about dreams         1856 01:27:56,688 --> 01:27:57,939           and everything's                   going to be wonderful        1857 01:27:57,981 --> 01:28:00,066     and the world will be happy.     1858 01:28:00,108 --> 01:28:02,068       Just, you know, work hard         and your dreams will come true.  1859 01:28:02,110 --> 01:28:03,736       Shit. I look at the world                 around me now,            1860 01:28:03,778 --> 01:28:05,738     and I see that that's pretty             impossible to happen.        1861 01:28:05,780 --> 01:28:07,490             So I couldn't                      in my conscience,          1862 01:28:07,532 --> 01:28:09,784          write about dreams                     and happiness.            1863 01:28:13,705 --> 01:28:17,542           [birds chirping,                     traffic passing]           1864 01:28:17,583 --> 01:28:20,712       I didn't really start going           to his house until the '90s.    1865 01:28:20,753 --> 01:28:22,964           I remember going                 and taking photos of him,      1866 01:28:23,006 --> 01:28:25,341             and that's when                   everything was changing.      1867 01:28:25,383 --> 01:28:27,135              He noticed it,           1868 01:28:27,176 --> 01:28:29,637            because he wasn't                selling out arenas anymore.     1869 01:28:29,679 --> 01:28:31,764      [Ronnie]   I got here because      I believed in the music I made,    1870 01:28:31,806 --> 01:28:35,393          and somebody liked it.             So, hey, I got a nice house.    1871 01:28:35,435 --> 01:28:37,312         You know, as I told you                  many times before,         1872 01:28:37,353 --> 01:28:38,771           I don't give a damn                    about this house.          1873 01:28:38,813 --> 01:28:40,857        What do I care about this?     1874 01:28:40,898 --> 01:28:43,067       I could sleep on this table.          I could sleep on the floor.     1875 01:28:43,109 --> 01:28:45,528           It's not important.                 It's all about playing.       1876 01:28:45,570 --> 01:28:47,447              It's all about                     playing for people.         1877 01:28:47,488 --> 01:28:49,073           It's the only thing                   that matters to me.         1878 01:28:49,115 --> 01:28:51,868       So, through the hard times,                love what you do.          1879 01:28:51,909 --> 01:28:54,162      He's one of those guys I don't       think would have ever retired    1880 01:28:54,203 --> 01:28:56,080     cause when you're an artist,               you're an artist.          1881 01:28:56,122 --> 01:28:58,207              That's what                   you do forever, you know.      1882 01:28:58,249 --> 01:29:02,211    You just...you...till you die.    1883 01:29:02,253 --> 01:29:04,589              [reporter]                   You've got such a long career.  1884 01:29:04,630 --> 01:29:06,591       You haven't had any breaks.     1885 01:29:06,632 --> 01:29:08,176        [Ronnie]   No, I never--               I haven't taken vacations.     1886 01:29:08,217 --> 01:29:09,594           I don't. I wouldn't               know what to do with myself.    1887 01:29:09,635 --> 01:29:11,054           What am I gonna do,                     lay on a beach?           1888 01:29:11,095 --> 01:29:12,680          Waste--That's a waste                      of my life.             1889 01:29:12,722 --> 01:29:15,016  Eating, sleeping, and vacations            are a waste of my life.       1890 01:29:15,058 --> 01:29:17,143       You only got so many years,               you may as well get         1891 01:29:17,185 --> 01:29:18,436          all you can out of it.                  Just grind it out,         1892 01:29:18,478

        Start with this one.               Title track of Dio LP #2.      1895 01:29:25,610 --> 01:29:28,488            This is called                     "The Last in Line."         1896 01:29:28,529 --> 01:29:31,199       [John]   It was very much a           different thing from the '80s.  1897 01:29:31,240 --> 01:29:32,909               For you,                    we especially do this one.      1898 01:29:32,950 --> 01:29:34,369              It's called                      "The Last in Line."         1899 01:29:34,410 --> 01:29:36,287           [crowd cheering]           1900 01:29:36,329 --> 01:29:38,247         But, uh, he would go to                the ends of the Earth        1901 01:29:38,289 --> 01:29:40,124       to play in front of people.     1902 01:29:40,166 --> 01:29:42,710       And I'd be the one going,           "Oh, Christ, I don't know.      1903 01:29:42,752 --> 01:29:44,796           You should think                  about this, you know?"        1904 01:29:44,837 --> 01:29:49,258       He didn't care if 80 people          showed up to a show or 80,000.  1905 01:29:49,300 --> 01:29:51,386            [Jeff]   He never                    lost sight of the guy        1906 01:29:51,427 --> 01:29:54,806         from Cortland, New York,           who, music was his salvation.    1907 01:29:54,847 --> 01:29:56,015

01:30:06,234               You know,                     he never phoned it in.        1911 01:30:06,275 --> 01:30:08,903         That was--He couldn't             do that. It was impossible.     1912 01:30:08,945 --> 01:30:12,240     The enthusiasm and the hunger             and the conviction,         1913 01:30:12,281 --> 01:30:13,491           it was unbreakable.         1914 01:30:13,533 --> 01:30:16,536         We're off to the witch      1915 01:30:16,577 --> 01:30:18,913              We may never,                   never, never, come home      1916 01:30:18,955 --> 01:30:20,373              But the magic                       that we'll feel          1917 01:30:20,415 --> 01:30:22,417         Is worth the lifetime       1918 01:30:22,458 --> 01:30:25,711         [Wendy]   Hard rock was              out of favor. MTV was gone.     1919 01:30:25,753 --> 01:30:28,339           We got record deals                    on smaller labels.         1920 01:30:28,381 --> 01:30:31,843     [Eddie]   Ronnie just continued             to keep making records       1921 01:30:31,884 --> 01:30:34,720        and keep creating, putting            together some great bands.     1922 01:30:34,762 --> 01:30:36,055      There were some great lineups,  1923 01:30:36,097 --> 01:30:38,433             people that were                     in and out of Dio.         1924 01:30:38,474 --> 01:30:41,102           They still did some               great work during that time,    1925 01:30:41,144 --> 01:30:43,604         whether it sold anything            or anybody acknowledged it.     1926 01:30:43,646 --> 01:30:46,107         Ronnie just kept going.       1927 01:30:46,149 --> 01:30:49,444         Think about the miles               that are on that voice.       1928 01:30:49,485 --> 01:30:53,573         And I always felt maybe            he would have sort of started    1929 01:30:53,614 --> 01:30:55,825          to relax a little bit.       1930 01:30:55,867 --> 01:30:59,745      But we did four whole albums,                maybe five DVDs,          1931 01:30:59,787 --> 01:31:01,664             and he would be                      here every minute,         1932 01:31:01,706 --> 01:31:04,083               of every day                     for every part of it.        1933 01:31:04,125 --> 01:31:05,543  Being in the studio with Ronnie,  1934 01:31:05,585 --> 01:31:08,254     it was un-fucking believable.    1935 01:31:08,296 --> 01:31:10,673            He was on a level               that some people never get to    1936 01:31:10,715 --> 01:31:14,260  in their prime when they're 21.    1937 01:31:14,302 --> 01:31:16,012                 [Wyn]                      He would sing with the band     1938 01:31:16,053 --> 01:31:20,808         while they were cutting              all day long, every time.      1939 01:31:20,850 --> 01:31:23,478            I mean, I told him                a hundred times and said,      1940 01:31:23,519 --> 01:31:25,480     "We could just use the vocal           you just sang, you know,       1941 01:31:25,521 --> 01:31:27,315    every time they go through it.    1942 01:31:27,356 --> 01:31:29,400          You know, you don't               have to keep singing it."      1943 01:31:29,442 --> 01:31:32,320          He said, "No, no, no,              I'm singing with the band."     1944 01:31:32,361 --> 01:31:36,908             I said, "Okay."                He's such a remarkable person.  1945 01:31:36,949 --> 01:31:39,994      There's certain people out         there, people with conviction,    1946 01:31:40,036 --> 01:31:41,662       people who have it here.       1947 01:31:41,704 --> 01:31:44,165       "This is what I want to do,                and I'm doing it."         1948 01:31:44,207 --> 01:31:46,000              And that's all                 that should fucking matter,     1949 01:31:46,042 --> 01:31:48,628

And we got a phone call           from the record label.       2083 01:37:29,885 --> 01:37:32,888  And they're going to re-release          the Dio years with Sabbath.     2084 01:37:32,930 --> 01:37:35,182           And I don't know,              out of the blue, Ronnie goes,    2085 01:37:35,224 --> 01:37:37,643      "Well, maybe we should just           write a couple of songs."      2086 01:37:37,685 --> 01:37:41,355         We worked on these songs               to go into the box set       2087 01:37:41,397 --> 01:37:44,817    and, uh, we really enjoyed it.         We really enjoyed doing it.     2088 01:37:44,859 --> 01:37:46,610         When we got together,        2089 01:37:46,652 --> 01:37:48,404        it was like old friends                  meeting again.            2090 01:37:48,445 --> 01:37:50,906             I don't know.             just a certain vibe that you get  2091 01:37:50,948 --> 01:37:53,325        that just feels right.        2092 01:37:53,367 --> 01:37:56,787             And we said,                  "Well, let's get together,      2093 01:37:56,829 --> 01:37:58,873       "Let's make another album                 and go on tours           2094 01:37:58,914 --> 01:38:01,542                and get                     the band back together."       2095 01:38:01,584 --> 01:38:03,377       [Wendy]   And they decided            they were not going to call it  2096 01:38:03,419 --> 01:38:05,713        Black Sabbath, this time.      2097 01:38:05,754 --> 01:38:07,548             They were going                 to call it Heaven and Hell.     2098 01:38:10,801 --> 01:38:13,554              All right,                   let's check this out, guys.     2099 01:38:13,596 --> 01:38:16,932         Oh, for God's sakes,                     my eyes suck.            2100 01:38:16,974 --> 01:38:19,810       Can you tell me which...       2101 01:38:19,852 --> 01:38:21,687       God, I'm a little jittery                  from coffee.             2102 01:38:21,729 --> 01:38:23,647          [guitar riff playing]        2103 01:38:23,689 --> 01:38:27,109

01:38:37,661                Far away             2107 01:38:37,703 --> 01:38:41,248    Here's one thing that is true.    2108 01:38:41,290 --> 01:38:46,295  I think that Ronnie James Dio's                 best-ever song           2109 01:38:46,337 --> 01:38:50,841         was his very last song,            which was called "Bible Black"  2110 01:38:50,883 --> 01:38:53,510         off the   Heaven and Hell                       record.               2111 01:38:53,552 --> 01:38:56,013      How many artists can say that    2112 01:38:56,055 --> 01:38:58,724            their last single                    was among the best?         2113 01:38:58,766 --> 01:39:01,894          To me, it's the best.                   I love that song.          2114 01:39:01,936 --> 01:39:03,562        Thank God, I remembered                to say that on here         2115 01:39:03,604 --> 01:39:05,564      because it's totally true.               You can put it on.          2116 01:39:05,606 --> 01:39:07,691            Thank me later.           2117 01:39:07,733 --> 01:39:10,569              Bible black            2118 01:39:10,611 --> 01:39:13,989                                    2119 01:39:14,031 --> 01:39:15,741          How heavy is that?!         2120 01:39:15,783 --> 01:39:21,497                                   2121 01:39:21,538 --> 01:39:24,041        What's this world I see?     2122 01:39:24,083 --> 01:39:26,794               Who are you                        and who are me?          2123 01:39:26,835 --> 01:39:29,004                 The fact                   that Ronnie got back together    2124 01:39:29,046 --> 01:39:32,216                with Tony                       and Geezer and Vinnie,       2125 01:39:32,257 --> 01:39:36,261         I've never known him                  quite so, uh, Zen.          2126 01:39:36,303 --> 01:39:39,264           This was exactly              the way it was supposed to be.    2127 01:39:39,306 --> 01:39:41,600    Just like the early days, just         like   Heaven and Hell   again.     2128 01:39:41,642 --> 01:39:44,979     And it was just so much fun.               It was just, wow.          2129 01:39:45,020 --> 01:39:48,691  [Wendy]   Everybody was absolutely        kickin' ass, being friends.     2130 01:39:48,732 --> 01:39:51,652           Everybody was having             such an amazing time together.  2131 01:39:51,694 --> 01:39:53,278        [Mick]   You could tell.        2132 01:39:53,320 --> 01:39:56,448             Even Iommi would                    smile occasionally.         2133 01:39:56,490 --> 01:39:59,284          It was really great              because we've gone through      2134 01:39:59,326 --> 01:40:01,245    a lot together over the years.    2135 01:40:01,286 --> 01:40:03,497              And you get                 to appreciate things a lot--     2136 01:40:03,539 --> 01:40:06,125      Sometimes you can't see it           when you're involved in it.     2137 01:40:06,166 --> 01:40:08,919     But later on, you think, "Oh,       wow, that was great." You know?  2138 01:40:08,961 --> 01:40:13,340        We seemed to have grown          out of all our miserable days.    2139 01:40:13,382 --> 01:40:15,843         Life's too short now.            You realize as you get older,    2140 01:40:15,884 --> 01:40:20,305            you go, "Why carry                 a grudge or be unhappy?"      2141 01:40:20,347 --> 01:40:22,516          [Rob]   You realize,                  you know, you don't get       2142 01:40:22,558 --> 01:40:24,977                these kind                   of friendships, really good,    2143 01:40:25,019 --> 01:40:27,855           strong friendships.                 They're so hard to get.       2144 01:40:27,896 --> 01:40:29,857         [Ronnie]   So, this is               a wonderful, wonderful time     2145 01:40:29,898 --> 01:40:31,692           of all of our lives.        2146 01:40:31,734 --> 01:40:33,485            Heaven and Hell                  has made great difference      2147 01:40:33,527 --> 01:40:36,363         in just my, my attitude                as a human being now.        2148 01:40:36,405 --> 01:40:38,866               Let him go                       He can't come back         2149 01:40:38,907 --> 01:40:44,371              He's reading                     from the Bible Black        2150 01:40:44,413 --> 01:40:47,082        [Vinny]   Heaven and Hell               took off. It was killer.      2151 01:40:47,124 --> 01:40:50,586     [Rob]   Got a great reception.            The album did really well.     2152 01:40:50,627 --> 01:40:54,006        [Mick]   Heaven and Hell             embodied a time when the big,    2153 01:40:54,048 --> 01:40:59,386       major, important heavy metal             stars were authentic.        2154 01:40:59,428 --> 01:41:02,556        They didn't learn it from            the bands that came before.     2155 01:41:02,598 --> 01:41:06,101    They didn't learn it from MTV.              They invented it.          2156 01:41:06,143 --> 01:41:08,687             Heaven and Hell                     is an important band        2157 01:41:08,729 --> 01:41:10,898               because they                      came along at a time        2158 01:41:10,939 --> 01:41:12,900             when you need                     a kick in the ass.          2159 01:41:12,941 --> 01:41:15,861           And there's this man                 all these years later,       2160 01:41:15,903 --> 01:41:18,781        still loving what he does            to do as a legendary singer.    2161 01:41:18,822 --> 01:41:22,201      That's remarkable, considering           we go all the way back       2162 01:41:22,242 --> 01:41:24,912           to The Red Caps.           2163 01:41:24,953 --> 01:41:27,581        [Mick]   It was like all             the chickens were coming home    2164 01:41:27,623 --> 01:41:30,584      to roost, and Heaven and Hell                  was as much             2165 01:41:30,626 --> 01:41:34,713          about the culmination               of his journey, his music,     2166 01:41:34,755 --> 01:41:37,925          his universe, the love               he gave out every night       2167 01:41:37,966 --> 01:41:39,593           he walked on stage.         2168 01:41:39,635 --> 01:41:41,428             It seemed to me                     that Heaven and Hell        2169 01:41:41,470 --> 01:41:46,058          was the encompassment                of all that good stuff.       2170 01:41:46,100 --> 01:41:48,602    [Don]   It was awesome. I went to        a couple of different shows.    2171 01:41:48,644 --> 01:41:52,231               There he was                 in a 20,000-seat arena again.    2172 01:41:52,272 --> 01:41:54,274             And it was like,                "Ah, you're back home, man."    2173 01:41:54,316 --> 01:41:57,319              Thank you!              2174 01:41:57,361 --> 01:42:01,281         [song ends, cheering]        2175 01:42:01,323 --> 01:42:03,992         [cheers and applause]        2176 01:42:10,958 --> 01:42:12,960                [Tony]                      It was absolutely fantastic.    2177 01:42:13,001 --> 01:42:15,129              Everybody was                  enjoying what we were doing.    2178 01:42:15,170 --> 01:42:17,256          And I remember sitting               with Ronnie and saying,       2179 01:42:17,297 --> 01:42:19,174         "You know, do you fancy                doing another album?"        2180 01:42:19,216 --> 01:42:22,803                 He said,                    "Yeah, I'll be up for that."    2181 01:42:22,845 --> 01:42:25,806     But of course, we never did.     2182 01:42:28,350 --> 01:42:30,394            This is Damian                 with BlackSabbath.com here,     2183 01:42:30,435 --> 01:42:32,271               backstage                      with Ronnie James Dio        2184 01:42:32,312 --> 01:42:33,981           after performing                the last show on the tour.      2185 01:42:34,022 --> 01:42:36,984            Ronnie, sum up                the tour for us. How was it?     2186 01:42:37,025 --> 01:42:41,321  Uh, it was, uh, tiring. It was--  2187 01:42:41,363 --> 01:42:43,157         Every show was great,                     as always.              2188 01:42:43,198 --> 01:42:44,825     This band is never not great.    2189 01:42:44,867 --> 01:42:46,827             Uh, it was--                    It was very productive.       2190 01:42:46,869 --> 01:42:48,829        We've been on the road             for such a long, long time.     2191 01:42:48,871 --> 01:42:50,622        Uh, you know, the music             made all the difference,       2192 01:42:50,664 --> 01:42:52,166           the shows we did                 made all the difference.       2193 01:42:52,207 --> 01:42:53,667     And that's all why we do it.     2194 01:42:53,709 --> 01:42:55,335      So, I guess I'll you know,      2195 01:42:55,377 --> 01:42:57,504    I'll give it a nine and a half                 out of ten.             2196 01:42:57,546 --> 01:42:59,548    And is that half point because         of a little bit of sadness      2197 01:42:59,590 --> 01:43:01,508     that now the tour is ending?     2198 01:43:01,550 --> 01:43:02,885          Or is this actually                    the beginning,            2199 01:43:02,926 --> 01:43:04,636      the start of something new?     2200 01:43:04,678 --> 01:43:06,346            You always say,                   "Well, gee, maybe I--        2201 01:43:06,388 --> 01:43:10,142       I'm going home. Oh, what          am I gonna do when I get home?    2202 01:43:10,184 --> 01:43:11,810  Maybe we should have done more."  2203 01:43:11,852 --> 01:43:13,312              Of course,               there's always sadness for that,  2204 01:43:13,353 --> 01:43:15,522         but, uh, we will do--                   we'll do more,            2205 01:43:15,564 --> 01:43:17,274               and we'll                   probably do another album,      2206 01:43:17,316 -->

--> 01:49:38,655            When Ronnie died,                     there wasn't more.         2337 01:49:38,697 --> 01:49:41,616         There's not more Ronnies                     out there.

01:49:50,041 --> 01:49:51,793        To me it's all about "is."     2341 01:49:51,835 --> 01:49:53,420       Ronnie still is in my head,     2342 01:49:53,461 --> 01:49:57,340              in my ears,                    you know, in my heart.        2343 01:49:57,382 --> 01:50:01,720        [Rob]   Most importantly,            the music is what lets us know  2344 01:50:01,761 --> 01:50:03,179           that Ronnie is alive                  and living with us.         2345 01:50:03,221 --> 01:50:05,557       Ronnie's beautiful messages                  in his songs,            2346 01:50:05,599 --> 01:50:07,309                you know,                      they're lifting people.       2347 01:50:07,350 --> 01:50:10,687        They're helping people get          through their own challenges.    2348 01:50:10,729 --> 01:50:11,938  These are the beautiful elements                 of Ronnie              2349 01:50:11,980 --> 01:50:13,398         that will live forever.       2350 01:50:13,440 --> 01:50:15,775     That's why he's everlasting.     2351 01:50:15,817 --> 01:50:18,278       [Mick]   And that's one of            the things he once said to me.  2352 01:50:18,320 --> 01:50:22,574      He said, "The important thing          is it isn't just what you do    2353 01:50:22,616 --> 01:50:26,077           and what you learn,"         He said, "You gotta pass it on.    2354 01:50:26,119 --> 01:50:29,956       Then you've lived a life                  worth living."            2355 01:50:29,998 --> 01:50:32,917      And now he passed his message             on to millions of us.        2356 01:50:32,959 --> 01:50:36,129        The message is, if you do              put your heart and soul       2357 01:50:36,171 --> 01:50:39,716          into something, no one             can take that away from you.    2358 01:50:39,758 --> 01:50:41,384              If you really                     have something to say,       2359 01:50:41,426 --> 01:50:42,927               if you have                     that love in your heart,      2360 01:50:42,969 --> 01:50:46,473            that really is                  the most important thing.      2361 01:50:46,514 --> 01:50:48,933                                   2362 01:50:48,975 --> 01:50:51,269                [Craig]                There's a quote that I live by,    2363 01:50:51,311 --> 01:50:53,521      that Ronnie definitely nailed,  2364 01:50:53,563 --> 01:50:55,649           is from Horace Mann,                     the educator.            2365 01:50:55,690 --> 01:50:57,484       He said, "Be ashamed to die     2366 01:50:57,525 --> 01:51:01,780          until you've won some

would love to know that.      2376 01:51:30,392 --> 01:51:33,520        He would love to know that            his memory is still there.     2377 01:51:33,561 --> 01:51:35,480
