TRIUMPH Drummer Remembers RONNIE JAMES DIO
May 21, 2010Gil Moore, drummer for Canadian hard rock legends TRIUMPH, has released the following statement to Goldmine magazine regarding the passing of Ronnie James Dio (DIO, HEAVEN & HELL, BLACK SABBATH, RAINBOW)
"He was a great singer. And it's a tragedy to see him die so early in life. I mean, he wasn't young, but he sure wasn't old.
"He had one of the best voices. His first record with RAINBOW … that really blew me away. I just about wore out the cassette playing it. This guy had a freight train of a voice. He really did.
"We would see Ronnie backstage. He would show up at TRIUMPH shows with quite a bit of regularity. He'd show up at our show and come backstage. And he was always a great guy."
