ElectricBasement.com’s A. Lee Graham (www.electricbasement.com) has issued an exclusive interview with Ronnie James Dio essentially a follow-up to the recent pre-release interview that the site conducted with the Heavy Metal legend.
During the chat Dio discusses, among other topics, his love of Wal-Mart, his current band lineup, the Master Of The Moon album, the purported metal renaissance and much more.
When asked is there is currently a resurgence of traditional metal, Dio replies, “Never again will it be like it was. Anyone who feels that is kidding themselves. Every generation has its moments, and the '80s had a giant metal period. You've got to have three strong acts on the bill these days. It could be us, the Scorpions - who knows? But anyone who says those days are back better take a good, hard look.”
