July 22, 2019, 5 years ago
Drummer Simon Wright (Dio, AC/DC, UFO) was recendtly asked by Eric Blair if the Dio Returns event is almost similar to a heavy metal Disney ride?
He replied, "No, I wouldn't say Disney ride. It's a fantastic show. The LED screens are up there with tons of footage of Ronnie; different pictures you haven't seen before, landscapes and visuals that are quite incredible. With Ronnie in the middle there, the whole stage comes alive. It's a really good show, and it's not just a hologram show. We play a lot of his songs with Oni and Ripper, so it's basically like a big rock show. It's not just the hologram. It is a bit of a wild ride, people I've talked to have been saying it brought back so many memories. It made them cry, it made them laugh, it made them rock."
