Real Life troping; Cool Old Guy is a narrative trope and deemed NRLEP because of that


* CoolOldGuy: He was 38 when he first sang for Music/BlackSabbath and 67 when he toured for the last time. However, for many years, Dio [[OlderThanTheyLook lied about his age]], saying he was born in 1949 instead of 1942.

* VocalDissonance: He was one of the shortest metal singers around at only 5'3 and possessed a legendary, powerful voice that sounded like it could raise the dead.


* AwesomeMcCoolName: His (professional) last name means 'God' in Italian. If that ain't cool enough for you, it was also cool enough to influence one half of the name for ''[[Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventure Dio Brando]]''.

* TeenGenius: Rowan Robertson was only seventeen when he auditioned for the band, and while Dio was greatly impressed by his performance, he was extremely reluctant to hire someone that young. It was only after reviewing all the other finalists and determining that Robertson was the best out of all of them that he relented and gave Robertson the job.
