30 Years Ago: Dio’s ‘Holy Diver’ Released



​

 

[Nololob]

1983 was a very good year for metal. Dio, Ozzy and Sabbath released an album, Quiet Riot's 'Metal Health topped in the charts, Priest's 'Screaming For Vengeance' came out, birth of thrash - Metallica and Slayer... Great year.

EEEWW! Really? TD?

The rest of the album looks good, but not this one, not with those guys.

 

[Riff Raff]

Tenacious D are awesome but not sure they would fit on a Dio tribute album. lol

Halestorm has played Straight Thru The Heart live for awhile now.



I can't wait for the Halford/Metallica tracks

 

[Sharp Dressed Man]

I have their albums, but haven't seen them live yet. Cool video, cool cover. Thanks, Pappy!

I can't wait for the Halford/Metallica tracks

I my head, I kind of hear how Man on the Silver Mountain is going to sound with Halford at the helm and I am anticipating this song more than any other on the album.

 

[Riff Raff]

Hell you could have had a double cover album one side Halford covers, the other Metallica. Those two are really the only songs I have a great interest in hearing as far as covers go.
