| 1 | * BlackSheepHit: "Rainbow in the Dark" is one of his most well-known solo songs, but after recording it, Dio thought that it sounded too "pop", and would have destroyed the tape, if the other band members had not talked him out of it. He later warmed a bit up to the song, eventually using it as one of his signature songs. |
| 2 | * CreativeDifferences: |
| 3 | ** His animosity towards Ritchie Blackmore was ''legendary'' due to their highly adversarial relationship while Dio was in Music/{{Rainbow}}. |
| 4 | ** It also probably wasn't a good idea to get him started on [[Music/DefLeppard Vivian Campbell]]. |
| 5 | * CreatorBacklash: When some of the songs from his earlier years resurfaced in the internet, Dio claimed he would've been happier if they had stayed hidden. |
| 6 | * ReferencedBy: Ronnie's {{Stage Name|s}} would serve to be the namesake for the first name of the overall BigBad from ''Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventure'', [[Characters/JoJosBizarreAdventureDIO Dio Brando]], with the name of his band inspiring his rename from ''[[Manga/JojosBizarreAdventureStardustCrusaders Stardust Crusaders]]'' onward, DIO. |
| 7 | * WhatCouldHaveBeen: |
| 8 | ** He wasn't working on one, but ''two'' sequels for the ''Magica'' album before he died. Also, a second ''Heaven & Hell'' album was planned. |
| 9 | ** In the wake of Dio's death, [[Music/{{Edguy}} Tobias Sammet]] revealed that the two of them had been discussing the possibility of Dio guesting in Music/{{Avantasia}}. |
| 10 | ** He was originally cast to play Doviculus in VideoGame/BrutalLegend, but the role later went to Creator/TimCurry. Rumors speculated that the reason for Dio's departure from the project was because of behind the scenes fighting with Music/OzzyOsbourne (who did lend his voice to the game), but Tim Schafer set the story straight by saying that, as Doviculus changed over the course of development, Curry simply fit the role better than Dio (citing Curry's role in the film ''Film/Legend1985'' as a good example of why). Still feels like a NegatedMomentOfAwesome to not have Dio involved in the project though, considering that lending his voice to a game that celebrates everything heavy metal would have been a fitting send off. |
