DIO

http://rome.ro/uploaded_images/dio2_004-752572.jpg

Dio is a heavy metal (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heavy_metal_music) band (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Musical_band) led by vocalist (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vocalist) Ronnie James Dio (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ronnie_James_Dio), who formed it in October (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/October) 1982 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1982) after leaving Black Sabbath (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Sabbath). In an interview, available on the special edition re-release of Holy Diver (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/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 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Sabbath) member drummer Vinny Appice (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/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 reversed 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 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Singer) and keyboards (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Musical_keyboard) originally, and Vinny Appice (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vinny_Appice) on drums (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drumkit), the band featured Vivian Campbell (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vivian_Campbell) who played guitar (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guitar), and Jimmy Bain (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jimmy_Bain), bass (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bass_guitar).

10, I would subtract a point for introducing the "devil fingers" into the business. Granted I love it but when Hanna Montana starts doing it something went wrong.

:love: Holy Diver makes no sense but I love it

That doesn't really dispute what KK said.

And hey, a quick check on wikipedia says the same symbol was used in Persian mythology to ward off the devil, maybe that's what she's doing

Its like a wigger, Its something that doesn't make sense, and should not happen. And they are only doing it because its popular and well known.

Im going to write that the devil hands give you magical powers on wikipedia.
