Video #6: Dio – Holy Diver live ‘05

I couldn’t call this blog “We Rock” without watching a Dio DVD!

This one had pretty good editing and sound. Rudy Sarzo played bass (which reminds me to get his biography from the Ozzy days someday soon). I didn’t recognize the guitar player. He looked like Sebastian Bach, but he played and acted somewhat like Zakk Wylde. I think he did a good job, and I found out in the bonus material that he got the gig at the last minute. It was so last minute that he was actually using the replaced guitarist’s amps. One odd thing I noticed, though, was that he had a big country-western size belt buckle that looked to have scratched the heck out of the back of his guitars. Leave it to me to notice something like that, but what is he thinking! Guitar abuse! Somebody call Social Services.

I always like hearing Rainbow in the Dark, which is a long-time favorite song of mine (they played it tuned down to “D,” I believe). Actually, in this particular concert, I think Heaven & Hell sounded really good, and course – WE ROCK!
