Pretty good example of how not to make an argument. As right as you may think you are, always leave room for the possibility you are mistaken.

If after saying something like "I'm looking at it right now," when you are actually not and you get called out, you have no dignified retreat.

Forgot who said this while trying to take a base, but the quote goes like this. "I cant help you with ack, Im not in attack mode" This is with only 2 ack up in the town while troops were there, waiting. The rest of the town was down.

One of the best voices in metal ever.

Maybe now that one dude will go out and BUY some of his music.

The way Ripchord got owned in this thread is epic.  This is the sort of reason I still troll this board.

I'm betting both...

And if you need another example just look up the film, "Heavy Metal" which is what the song, "Mob Rules" was written for and subsequently made into the title track of Sabbath's second Album with Dio - "Mob Rules". 

I repeat what Lute said, There is no debating this.  It's akin to saying Bon Scott is singing Back in Black.   :rolleyes:

What?  Bon didn't sing that one?  Way to burst my bubble :rolleyes:

My band had the good fortune to tour with Dio (and Alice Cooper) in the UK some years ago.  
He was a real gent, no attitude and would come and hang out with us. Always happy to tell stories and had plenty of time for regular folk.
Best thing is, we opened for Heaven & Hell in Poland last year and he still remebered us. All round decent guy!
He'll be sadly missed.
