Friday, October 25: Dio, "Another Lie"

R.I.P. Ronald James "Dio" Padavona (1942-2010), Jimmy Bain (1947-2016)

Sacred Heart was almost immediately derided by everyone (including Vivian Campbell) as a transparent attempt to broaden Dio’s commercial prospects, and while it charted and sold well enough not to raise immediate concerns, in hindsight it was the beginning of the end for Dio on many levels.  Of course, the notion of Ronnie James Dio making hair metal was laughable on its face, and “Another Lie” was an especially hilarious “evil woman” tale that, even with a more rockin’ riff and Vinny Appice going for more of a groove, sounded less swaggering and more like a cranky elf shaking his cane at a bored stripper.  There was something almost charming about Dio, both the man and band, trying to strut around the Sunset Strip like they were Ratt or something, and Campbell did try to spice things up a bit with a nice solo over Ronnie’s typical boxy production.  It was actually the combination of the production, Appice and Campbell that helped “Another Lie” do a nice enough job keeping the Dio train running, because all of that made it feel like something that could be performed on stage while Denzil the dragon hovered behind the drums.

Today we remember the passing of Ronnie James Dio who Died: May 16, 2010 in Houston, Texas

Ronald James Padavona, known professionally as Ronnie James Dio or simply Dio, was an American heavy metal singer-songwriter and composer, and was also known for popularizing the sign of the horns in heavy metal. He fronted or founded numerous groups throughout his career, including Elf, Rainbow, Black Sabbath, Dio, and Heaven & Hell.

Dio is regarded as one of the greatest and most influential heavy metal artists of all time. He is known for popularizing the "Metal Horns" hand gesture in metal culture and his medieval-themed song lyrics. According to a version provided by the singer himself, the act derives directly from the classic Italian apotropaic gesture, which his grandmother usually did. Dio had a powerful, versatile vocal range and was capable of singing both hard rock and lighter ballads. He was awarded the "Metal Guru Award" by Classic Rock Magazine in 2006. He was also named the "Best Metal singer" at the Revolver Golden Gods Awards in 2010 and ranked as the genre's best vocalist in 2013 by music journalist Sacha Jenkins.

In 2009, Dio was diagnosed with stomach cancer and underwent treatment at the M.D. Anderson Cancer Center in Houston, Texas.

On May 4, 2010, Heaven & Hell announced they were canceling all summer dates as a result of Dio's health condition. His last live performance was with Heaven & Hell on August 29, 2009, in Atlantic City, New Jersey. Dio died of the illness on May 16, 2010. Two weeks after his death, a public memorial service was held at The Hall of Liberty, Forest Lawn Hollywood Hills, Los Angeles. The hall was filled to capacity, with many more fans sitting outside the hall watching the memorial on multiple giant screens on both the east and south sides of the hall. Friends, family, and former and current bandmates of Dio gave speeches and performed including Rudy Sarzo, Geoff Tate, John Payne, Glenn Hughes, Joey Belladonna, and Heaven & Hell keyboard player, Scott Warren. On the screen was an accompanying documentary covering Dio's career from his early days with Elf to his final project with Heaven & Hell

“We pray to someone,

But when it's said and done,

It's really all the same, with just a different name.

So many voices, all giving choices.

If we listen they will say, oh we can find the way.

But we'll sail along, sing our song, carry on.

'Cause we rock.”

(We Rock – Dio)

A little tribute to My best Metal Singer artist.

“Long Live Rock ‘n’ Roll” by Rainbow

In a different time When the words didn't rhyme You could never quite be sure Then on with the change It was simple but strange And you knew the feeling seemed to say it all It cries for you It's the least that you can do Like a spiral on the wind I can hear it screamin' in my mind

EXTRA 3

The Big 4 (Anthrax/Megadeth/Slayer/Metallica),

Live From Sofia, Bulgaria,

2010 Universial

학창시절 자율학습시간에 심심해서 만들어보곤 했을 상상 속의 록 페스티벌 라인업이 있다. 이런저런 맘에 드는 밴드들을 한 무대에 올려보곤 했던, 공상 속에나 존재했던 리스트. 2010년 그것이 현실이 되어 돌아왔다. 소위 스래쉬 메탈(Thrash Metal)의 4대 천왕이라 불리던 앤쓰랙스(Anthrax), 메가데스(Megadeth), 슬레이어(Slayer), 메탈리카(Metallica)가 불가리아 소피아에서 열린 페스티벌에 모두 참가했다. 30년에 가까운 활동 기간에 처음 있는 일이고, 이를 기념하고자 실황 DVD(+CD)가 발매되었다. 한편으로는 이런 공연기획이 왜 인제야 가능하게 됐는지 의문이 들기도 하지만 일단 헤비메탈 계의 거성으로 자리 잡은 네 밴드의 합동공연은 그 자체만으로도 큰 화��를 일으키기에, 충분하다.

일단 공연구성은 앤쓰랙스를 시작으로 메가데스, 슬레이어 그리고 대미는 메탈리카가 장식한다. 앞의 세 밴드에는 각각 약 1시간 정도의 공연시간이, 메탈리카는 약 2시간이 주어지는데 아마도 네 밴드 사이에 존재하는 지명도와 티켓파워 등의 이유로 이루어진 편성이 아닐지 추측만 해본다. 역사적인 무대인 만큼 모두가 다 같이 참여하는 무대도 메탈리카의 ‘Am I Evil?’ 순서에 마련이 된다.

Anthrax (CD1) ●●●○

전체 행사의 오프닝이라 해야겠다. 참여한 밴드 중에서 가장 재밌고 신나는 연주를 들려 주무로써 오프닝으로는 제격이라 생각된다. 탄력 있는 연주를 바탕으로 청중을 유도하는 바람잡이 역할을 제대로 보여준다. 특히 공연 한 달 전쯤 암으로 사망한 대선배 로니 제임스 디오(Ronnie James Dio)를 추모하기 위해 'Heaven And Hell'이 연주되는 감동적인 장면을 연출하기도 한다. 하지만 디오가 얼마나 훌륭한 보컬리스트였는지 조이 벨라도나(Joey Belladonna)와 극명히 비교되는 순간이기도 하다. 존 부시(John Bush) 시절의 곡인 'Only'와 그 외의 곡에서 보여주는 조이 벨라도나의 보컬은 힘에 부치는 인상을 남긴다.

Megadeth (CD2) ●●●●○

네 팀의 공연 중 가장 맘에 드는 것을 뽑으라면 개인적 호불호를 떠나 메가데스를 선택하겠다. 12곡의 셋리스트도 나무랄 게 없고, 밴드의 원년 베이시스트 데이비드 엘프슨(David Ellefson)도 돌아왔다. 거의 쉼 없이 12곡을 몰아붙이는 와중에도 청중들의 적극적인 자발적 참여가 놀라울 정도다. 'A Tout Le Monde'에서의 대합창이 압권이다. 정교한 연주와 청중들의 뜨거운 반응이 돋보이고, 'Holy Wars…'로 시작된 공연을 마지막에 같은 곡의 'Reprise’ 형식으로 끝을 맺는 수미쌍관의 공연구성이 멋지다.

Slayer (CD3) ●●●●

참여한 밴드 중에서 가장 강성의 사운드를 추구하는 슬레이어답게 공연장 전체를 압도하는 에너지를 분출한다. 데이브 롬바르도(Dave Lombardo)의 공격적인 투 베이스 드럼, 제프 하네만(Jeff Hanneman)과 케리 킹(Kerry King)의 살인적인 기타 리프 더불어 톰 에이라야(Tom Araya)의 괴성에 가까운 보컬이 일방적으로 몰아붙이는 슬레이어의 무대는 네 팀 중 가장 카리스마가 넘친다.

Metallica (CD4&5) ●●●

유일하게 두 시간의 공연을 하는 메탈리카의 무대는 이미 너무나 익숙한 탓에 그리 커다란 흥미를 일으키지는 못한다. 이전에 이들의 공연이나 DVD를 본 적이 있다면 다분히 물릴 수 있는 무대. 다만 위안이 될 순간은 네 밴드의 거의 모든 멤버가 무대에 오르는 'Am I Evil?’ 정도일 것이다. 메가데스의 데이브 머스테인(Dave Mustaine)도 메탈리카의 무대에 오른 게 수십 년 만에 처음이었으니. 모두가 참여했다는 데 의의가 있을 뿐, 사실 그리 탁월하게 들리지는 않는다. 차라리 영상으로 보는 게 더 좋다.

전부를 다 들으려면 다섯 시간이 넘는데, 한가한 날 혼자만의 메탈축제를 벌이고 싶다면 이 방법도 좋을 듯. 아니면 밴드별로 따로 들어도 아주 괜찮은 실황음반이다. 4대 스래쉬 메탈밴드의 사운드변천을 현장감 있게 비교 감상할 수 있는 '헤비메탈 종합선물세트’.

PLAY IT LOUD!

Friday, April 12: Dio, "Breathless"

R.I.P. Ronnie James Dio (1942-2010), Jimmy Bain (1947-2016)

Ronnie James Dio sang with two major acts before striking out on his own, but the success of Holy Diver gave him license to fully unleash his id on The Last in Line.  And while the second Dio album was mostly a logical continuation of its predecessor, there was enough randomness generated by the man going all-in on his preoccupations and tics that something like “Breathless”, which began with a simultaneously bluesy and gnarled Vivian Campbell riff before Ronnie barged in with “No No No No No!!!”, stood out in all sorts of ways, not all of them good.  The track was a rocker driven by Vinny Appice’s blocky percussion and Jimmy Bain’s bass, with Campbell’s guitar more like window dressing (certainly a point of contention for the increasingly malcontent future Whitesnake and Def Leppard axeman), though of course there was no suppressing the power and passion of Ronnie’s growl, even if one was rarely sure about what he was really going on about.  “Breathless” was awesome and ridiculous in equal measure, and nobody would expect anything less from prime Dio.
