...was 67 years old at the time of his passing and leaves behind a legacy of awesome heavy metal iconic music which created a rep for him as a Metal God.  The Rock Horns were a homage to Dio's grandmother who used to make a hand gesture to ward off the evil eye which is common among superstitious Southern Italians.  Dio threw the horns during Black Sabbath live performances but they became a trade mark and fans in the know love to flash the horns.

Dio's most popular rock icon songs included "Rainbow In The Dark" and "Holy Diver" from the "Holy Diver" Album which was released in 1982.  There is nothing finer than checking out the Holy Diver video on youtube to fire up the horns.  Ronnie James Dio...you were one of the best!
