Anyone out there into trying a Ronnie James Dio Cover Band????

Age doesn't matter but ability does...

Cover stuff off of Holy Diver & BS Heaven & Hell...Maybe even some RB Rainbow i.e. Man On The Silver Mountain.

Me: Lead Voclalist...Dio was one of the singers that I cut my teeth on along with Black Sabbath.

Lead Vocalist for The Usual Suspects.

Looking to get into some heavier stuff but really would like to re experience the Dio vibe...In my opinion, some of the best metal ever written.

Check out my profile and let me know

Serious people only please...Don't want to spend time rapping about how great the music is and how someone has always wanted to cover it...

Guitar (very challenging), drums (very challenging), bass (not so bad) and Back up vocals (tough), I have keys and can probably cover the little that there is...so let's keep it real k?

I have a heavy work schedule/other band commitements but willing to lose additional sleep for the right bunch of playas/Dio Metal!

Cheers,

Only Dio looks like Dio...And yup, I cut my teeth on this guy. When I first heard him with Richie Blackmore's Rainbow (Man on the Silver Mountain & Self Portrait), I was hooked.

I thought he was going to be this 6 ft 5 inch guy that weighed 300lbs...When I went and saw him with Rainbow, I was amazed how small and ugly he was...But man can he sing! Best metal singer in my opinion.

And hey, we've played together. So you should know that I have that sound ;-)

PS: Since when do you have to look like someone to do a cover band? This is not a "clone band".

Cheers,
