Yeah, Motörhead really opened for Dio. Dio got a THIRD of the reaction Motörhead did. Fuck Dio. Dungeons & Dragons is for fuckers.
The Loco tour has a different lineup than the home show in Massachusetts, which is the one I went to. The headliners of the home show in '02 were Disturbed, Ra, and Black Label Society. The best three bands (in order of greatness that night) were Black Label Society, Flipp, and Disturbed.
I think it was easier to have Motorhead to have been the opening act, than if Dio was.
And c'mon Corey, you know you like Dio. There's a little bit of Dio in all of us
