Holy Diver - Holy crap!

 - This is fantastic Geir. I was a big Dio fan  "back in the day". Still think "Mob Rules" is a  great Sabbath album too!

You did a freaking amazing job on this tune. Wow  - I love it!!!

QuoteWell done! Dio would love the recorder,
- took the words right out of my mouth.

QuoteThe Holy Diver album was a staple where I'm from
- we must come from the same place Launched  ;D
 This is a great album.

Well done again Geir - just great!!
It ain't pretty being easy.

Okay to Cover

This song and these instruments are a GREAT ;D platform for your voice.  This is rich territory for you and I hope you mine it. Thanks for this post, I love it. :)

No kidding, it takes me forever to do one track!  ;)

Brilliant. Simply brilliant. This is one of my favorite Dio songs, and you've really done it justice.

wow  I did not expect this much kind feedback on this one ... thank you all !!

and yes I can't believe everyone doesn't know this one, it's a major song in my book, and mr Dio is maybe my favorite voice of all times .. the range he has is incredible, just listen to "Rainbow Eyes" and "Kill the king"

Wow, just watched the Dio vid and heard the original for the first time and now I'm even more impressed!  Your Unplugged version is such an imaginative interpretation and so well done.

These days I merely dabble at being old and wise.
But I swear, I used to absolutely excel at being young and stupid.
