😂😂🤣 Nothing more than a quick check-in to make sure I didn't misread everything.😍

@rustymason92 - honestly, I think that kind of thing only happens in Washington, D.C....

However, you didn't quite explain the payment part to me. If you happen to know anything about how that works, would you please walk me through it? Thank you.🙂

I was also wondering whether this is something unique to Washington, D.C., or if it's available in other parts of the US as well?
Additionally, regarding compensation—is it necessary to accept payment, or is it possible to donate plasma without taking any money?
Thank you.🙂

Are you absolutely certain you've cleared the yeast infection?
One single course of antibiotics doesn't necessarily guarantee a total fix.

And if that unpleasant odor is still lingering, why not just head to the gynecologist for some swabs? It’s better to know exactly what you're dealing with.🤷

No, no, NO!😳

William Anderson4 said:Dio is the greatest vocalist of all time. In my opinion, Ozzy isn't necessarily a great singer; he’s just very specific, which is exactly why he became famous. But when it comes to Dio, 🙂 🙏

Exactly. Ozzy and the rest of the guys—essentially Black Sabbath—were the pioneers. They were the first, the innovators, the literal newborns of heavy metal, and that is precisely why everyone respected them. I am certainly not saying Ozzy is bad; quite the contrary, hats off to him. However, Dio... it was almost impossible not to hear and notice a voice of that caliber.

Furthermore, I believe Rainbow being a fairy tale is an understatement.🙂
And while everyone else seems to idolize Ozzy Osbourne in Black Sabbath, you have to admit that Dio absolutely crushed it there too. Look, Ozzy is Ozzy—there's no debating that—but I don't think any other vocalist could have stepped into Black Sabbath and performed quite as well as he did.

Donna Castillo38 said:I actually had a rather peculiar experience involving him. I am not typically one to believe in these kinds of things—not even in this instance—but it was certainly noteworthy. 😁 On the day Ronnie James Dio passed away (not at the exact moment of his passing, but later that same day 🤣), I was listening to "Heaven and Hell" by Black Sabbath when, quite suddenly, the lamp on my table began to shake. There was no earthquake, nor was there anything else that could have possibly moved it. I interpreted it as some sort of sign, though I am sure there is a logical explanation out there. 😬
p.s. I am not trying to be cheesy here! 🤣

Man, that is exactly what I thought first.
However, I really don't want to be disrespectful on this thread dedicated to dio.😁

How incredibly heartbreaking....😢

Walter Cox6 said:I believe you might have misinterpreted his statement. 😁 I think he meant to say that Blackmore was precisely the one who gave Dio his very first real opportunity to prove himself... everything after that was purely Dio's achievement, but that initial step was taken by Blackmore when he invited him into his new band... the rest is history.

I am not referring to any specific statement. My point is simply that despite his immense talent, Blackmore could be quite an egoist at times, whereas Dio's talent was absolutely undeniable.

Andrew Williams23 said:The rumor goes that Dio didn't want to sing love songs, which is why he left the band😁
but in my opinion, he simply couldn't stand the fact that Blackmore was always the center of attention.😉 However, everyone seems to forget about Gillan, Coverdale, Glenn Hughes, Joe Lynn Turner, and even Dio himself—without Blackmore, none of them would be anyone today. He provided those massive hits that just needed the right voice, and they all happened to be in the right place at the right time...
Blackmore is a god!

Do you honestly believe that Dio would have remained unnoticed if it weren't for Blackmore?!
Blackmore certainly knew his craft, but let's be real, he could be an incredibly selfish jerk from time to time.
Whether it was Rainbow, Elf, Black Sabbath, or Dio, he shone brightly, and because of his sheer talent, he remains legendary in every single lineup.😳

goldenscout14 said:Honestly, indie music is easily the best thing to ever happen to the rock genre! 🙂

Please, I am asking you not to be so blind regarding this topic.🤣

Rustymason92, I honestly don't think you have any idea what you're actually looking for here....🤣
Perhaps it would be best if you returned to listening to music from the 60s through the 90s, since there is plenty of that left for you to enjoy....😁

Gogol Bordello might not strictly fall under the rock umbrella—it's more like gypsy punk—but as someone who’s always been a bit of a die-hard rocker at heart, I truly love them. You really should give them a listen...😍

Ronald James Padavona


So, I am not entirely sure where to begin, though I suppose he hardly needs an introduction at all...
In my humble opinion, he was the greatest vocalist of all time, and it truly baffles me that such a legend doesn't have his own signature theme song.
He was born in 1942 in Portsmouth.
Sadly, he passed away last year at the age of 67....

Throughout a career spanning nearly five decades, he truly poured his heart and soul into everything he did.
Elf, Black Sabbath, Rainbow, Heaven & Hell, and Dio are just a few of the bands that defined his legacy.
Honestly, I find it impossible to decide which era saw him shine the brightest.
The man who gave us the iconic "devil horns" left an indelible mark on the entire heavy metal genre.

Rainbow in the Dark
Holy diver
Don´t talk to strangers
Rainbow - Man on the Silver Mountain
Rainbow - The Temple of the King
Rainbow - Kill the King
Dio - Last in Line 😍
Black Sabbath - Heaven and Hell 🙏🙏

Anyway, respect to everyone, but I truly believe we won't see another talent like his for a very long time....
R.I.P. Dio😢

Sophia Booth10 said:Personally, I've always had a soft spot for Rosanna Africa.👍

In my opinion, Rosanna Africa is absolutely top-tier, regardless of what anyone else might think.😍

analogharbor442 said:Fine, if I absolutely must, I suppose I could attempt to hold The Lin!
🤔

You most certainly should!😁

Does anyone else here listen to this band? I'm curious to hear your thoughts on them. Which of their tracks resonate with you most?🙂

Can mine be approved without those four? Thanks...🙂

Nick is already on the list.

Could someone please explain what is going on? I am quite new here...
It seems that three or four of my posts have simply vanished—gone, evaporated, poof! I wrote them just last night, yet this morning they are nowhere to be found...😢
Furthermore, I am unable to change the text color, even though I really need to use green... please, I would appreciate some assistance.....🙏
