"Stand Up And Shout" and "Rock And Roll Angel" note which mixes The Power of Rock with Heavy Mithril, for example.
Heavy Meta: While known mainly for writing fantasy-themed lyrics, people forget that he also wrote quite a few songs about The Power of Rock. Making that an example of Rainbows Are Better with Dio. He WAS the vocalist of Ritchie Blackmore's Rainbow. Everything's Better with Rainbows: There's always a mention of rainbows in his music. He also sang "God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen" on the We Wish You a Metal Xmas and a Headbanging New Year album. He contributed vocals to Welcome to My Nightmare: An All-Star Salute to Alice Cooper, on the song "Welcome to My Nightmare". Cover Version: He and guitarist Yngwie Malmsteen made a cover of Aerosmith's "Dream On". However, for many years, Dio lied about his age, saying he was born in 1949 instead of 1942. Cool Old Guy: He was 38 when he first sang for Black Sabbath and 67 when he toured for the last time. Also the title of a 3 Inches of Blood tribute to him. Catchphrase: The words "LOOK OUT!" show up in a lot of his songs. 
Careful with That Axe: The first ~30 seconds of The Last In Line are pretty gung-ho.then the real song starts. He then appeared on Tenacious D in The Pick of Destiny as himself. The Cameo: Tenacious D appeared on the music video of "Push". 
Blues Rock: Before Dio joined Rainbow, Elf's music awesomely combined Hard Rock with R&B. Beware the Nice Ones: He was normally a pretty nice, calm guy. Ronnie did later express some regret for his harsh words. 
According to Vinnie Appice their mutual dislike stemmed from arguments over band business decisions that Viv disagreed with. He starts ranting at about 45 seconds in. Berserk Button: Vivian Campbell, the ex-guitarist of his solo act.If that ain't cool enough for you, it was also cool enough to influence one half of the name for Dio Brando. Awesome McCoolname: His last name means 'God' in Italian.They are mentioned a lot in his music and he was even in a band called Rainbow once.
