Dio
Dio is a
heavy metal band led by
vocalist Ronnie James Dio, who formed it in
October 1982 after leaving
Black Sabbath. In an interview, available on the special edition re-release of
Holy Diver, Dio states that he never intended to begin a solo career. His intention was to form a new band with fellow former
Black Sabbath member drummer
Vinny Appice. Naming the band Dio made sense from a commercial standpoint, as the name was already well-known at that time. Dio's logo, when turned at 180 degrees, seems to spell out the word "Devil", although this is disputed and Ronnie James Dio insists that he does not see it and never intended to do this. In addition to Ronnie on
vocals and
keyboards originally, and
Vinny Appice on
drums, the band featured
Vivian Campbell who played
guitar, and
Jimmy Bain,
bass.
