Dio Holy Diver Cover, Tribute to Ronnie James Dio (RIP) Options

[Jeroen]

Hey Rockers,

Here's another cover. This one is to honour Ronnie James Dio as one of the greatest heavy metal singers of all time. Unfortunately cancer took him away. I was lucky enough to see him live on stage one last time with Heaven and Hell in the Netherlands in 2007.

RIP "The Man On The Silver Mountain"
1942 - 2010 Ronnie James Dio.

Hey Jeroen! Very nice video, I forgot that I grew up listening to Ronnie. "Bring your daughter to the slaughter?" Anyways I have a couple suggestions for future videos. I'll use this video as source but from all your videos I feel these suggestions would grab the watcher a little more.

With Ronnie in this song the guitar is mostly rhythm until the solo sections and I really like your close up shots playing the lead. It does also show your hands a bit tense. I get tense the instant I hit record so I play it a million times until I get a take genuine and natural as possible. Your video quality is unreal so maybe take just a little more time feeling more relaxed.
That brings me to the rhythm portion. The songs main focus is the lyric and a haunting mysterious powerful chords. There are long stretches of your whole body shot and you can tell your a little tense. My suggestion would be to find a way to add video blasts of you playing those chords with the rhythm. Bam bam bam. Close ups of those chords when they are most impactful. During the singing maybe take us to a place with different videos of him singing or footage of something relating to the song.
I like your videos and wish I could even come close to that quality. Keep rocking man!
