Ronnie James Dio is dead

Damn, read this really sad news yesterday that Ronnie James Dio passed away on Sunday. I will always remember copying the tape - Diamonds: The Best of Dio from Renie and even making a copy of the album cover. And remember Anwin telling me that the "Dio" when looked at upside down actually read "Devil". I must have listened to "Holy Diver" a million times. I only had two of his albums - the other one was Sacred Heart. Another awesome album.

Will be sorely missed by the metal community. And he was just about to embark on a world-tour.

The metal horns - \m/ is kinda attributed to him. RIP.

Kingfisher Heavy Metal Blogger Meet / Iron Maiden in Bangalore

Ok, all ye Maiden fans - and I mean Iron Maiden fans - put on your best black Maiden T-shirts, start a blog somewhere, register on Indiblogger and make it to the Kingfisher sponsored Heavy Metal Blogger meet.

Ah, well, dammit all! Just make it for the Heavy Metal Blogger meet!

Kingfisher premium is sponsoring the meet this time - so you know what that means! You will get Kingfisher Premium Bottled Water! Wink wink! Love the Indiblogger poster on that site!!.

Anyways, this is to be held the day before Iron Maiden blows the town to smithereens. So get down on your knees - assume an attitude!

The first time Iron Maiden came to India, I went bonkers and started an Iron Maiden week on my blog.

I started off the series of posts with 6 days to go for the Maiden concert.

My next post - with 5 days to go was about the album Killers and especially "Murders in the Rue Morgue". Di'Anno at his best.

Another day and 4 days to go got me more pepped up. I realised that I cannot cover a song from a Maiden album a day - so pushed it to 3 albums a day!. Wrote about songs from "Number of the Beast", "Powerslave" and "Piece of Mind".

3 days to go and I think I lost my math somewhere - X Factor was covered - one of my favourite Maiden albums!.

Got down to some of the latest albums with the last 2 days.

The last post was post the Maiden concert! Even at that time, I was waiting for the next Maiden concert with all the old songs. Sometimes, dreams come true!
