Craig Goldy & Author James Curl Guest on Episode 400 of Focus on Metal

Episode 400 - Focus on Dio

Seems like only yesterday we were exploring Master of Puppets on episode 300 and here we are 100 shows later. Hard to believe we have done 400 episodes of Focus on Metal. So with that in mind I guess it’s time to do a show focused on Ronnie James Dio. First up we talk with longtime Dio guitarist Craig Goldy. Besides talking about Ronnie, Craig also discusses his latest project Dream Child. 

Also on the show we talk with author James Curl about his book “Ronnie James Dio: A Biography of a Heavy Metal Icon.”

Review - Helker- Somewhere In The Circle

   It was 2004 and I had travelled to Birmingham in England to see Rush. One of my friends asked me to listen to a new band's first release and my thoughts on it. After 30 seconds I took the headphones off and said who the fuck is the singer, he was fantastic. Well the band was Alter Bridge and the singer was Myles Kennedy. No new singer has had this effect on me until now.

   Musically the album sounds like Screaming For Vengence era Judas Priest topped off with the vocals of Diego Valdez. Similar at times to Ronnie James Dio he is at ease belting out songs like Just Be Yourself and Inside Of Me or slower stuff like Flying. The songs and playing are top notch, not too intricate and at 46 minutes the album flys by. Produced by Mat Sinner with guest vocals by Tim Owens and Ralf Scheepers this is easily going to be one of my metal albums of 2013 if not my favourite. Listen, just buy the bloody thing. I'm floored.

Richie.
