Well..... he is not tall. The only thing he ever banged his head on was a
coffee table. I believe he is under 5 feet tall, I read that just the other day
somewhere.

Short physically perhaps. Probalbly 5' 7". But an absolute "GIANT" vocally.
Which in the long run is all that really matters. Period.
I'm 6'2" and would give my left nut to have half of his talent.

I met him last year and he's probably about 5'4 or 5'5. He had on boots and
was almost my height and I'm 5'8.

In article <19990403221900...@ng-fb1.aol.com>,
Asbolutely! Ronnie's probably around 5' 2" or so, but his voice is a booming
wonder. I'm 5' 10" (average) and can't imagine reaching the power Ronnie
posseses (even at his current age)!

I know Ronnie, and he is 5 foot 3.

hmm, I've met the man several times myself, and he likes to wear healed
boots...tough to say but I'd venture that he's 5 foot 4 if he's a foot.

Dio is 5'2"... I asked him once, when I was in the "Last in Line" video...

I saw him with Sabbath back in 1980. Tony Iommi is 6'2 and Dio was wearing his
usal high heel platforms and was just above Iommi's shoulders, so I would guess
around 5'6 or 5'7

Did you ask him, or did you hold a tape measure up behind his back when he
wasn't looking? Or did he leave his drivers license laying around? Or do you
both see eye to eye???? :)

I asked Ronnie, straight up, at the studio
where he was reocrding, and I was doing
a mix. I am 5 foot 10, and Ronnie is short.
I had Ronnie two or three times before.
So, I asked him.

I am really hoping there is supposed to be a "met" in there between
"had" and "Ronnie." Otherwise, it gets really ugly, really quickly.

Now, Ronnie and I had had previous
conversations about both being from
New York, and both being Italian. So,
I just asked him, with respect. He really
is a very friendly, good guy.

I read quite a few years ago in HIT PARADER magazine, that DIO was 5'4.

Yea, that's about right it matches your IQ
at 40. :)
