Tribute To RONNIE JAMES DIO By 3 INCHES OF BLOOD; Lyric Video For "Look Out" Available!

As a tribute to Metal legend Ronnie James Dio, and in honor of the two year anniversary of his death, 3 INCHES OF BLOOD has released a lyric video for their track "Look Out". Vocalist Cam Pipes explains, "It was hard to find the right words for a song honoring Ronnie James Dio, but I hope it is regarded as a fitting tribute to a legendary figure. His impact on the Metal community will last forever, and though he may have been small in stature, his contribution to the music scene is larger than most will ever achieve." "Look Out" can be found on 3 INCHES OF BLOOD's latest album, 'Long Live Heavy Metal'.

Tribute to RONNIE JAMES DIO!

One thing I find amazing is how all of us METALEROS have the outmost respect for the TRUE legends of rock! And even if we are not necessarily fans of a certain artist, we all come together when one of our METAL legends joins the afterlife. Legends such as Ronnie James Dio, Peter Steele, Dimebag Darrell, Randy Rhoads, Cliff Burton and many more. Yesterday, many of the Horns Up throwers posted some amazing videos of many of Ronnie James Dio's classic songs. Here is a compilation of some of those videos:
