One of my favorite things about Dio as a frontman are his lyrics. Whether or not he was a poet he just came across as a wise father-figure type giving advice gathered over a lifetime's worth of experience to his child (i.e. his fans). And if you listen to interviews that's just how he comes across in real life too. Just an intelligent, well-spoken, class act with a good head on his shoulders who can't be replaced. I'd kill to have met and talked to him.
