Yeah that's definitely Von Karajan!
I knew I recognized him, then I remembered seeing a video of
Le Nozze di Figaro with him conducting.........Vienna? It was either Vienna or Berlin.
And you guys are wrong. The best Dio song is
by far "The Book of Heavy Metal." With lyrics like:
Don't need no flashy house, no kids/car or ugly wife
the only thing I want, is what my parents don't
need no widescreen TV, No in all honesty
the only thing I want to be (to be or not to be)
and
I've signed - a contract with the devil
I'd like to become a star
I'd die - to become immortal
That's why I play the guitar
It's amazing! Though, I do like Dio. I saw him with Motorhead and Maiden. Honestly, I'd say I liked his music the best. Kind of like when I saw Queensryche with Priest. Priest's stage show was incredible, but I liked Queensryche's music better (for the most part, they a song off of their upcoming sequel to Mindcrime, and it blew).
