TRAMP

Tramp got to tour with Dio in 1993 and speaks of Ronnie as a gentle man who wouldn’t hurt a fly and who spoke from the heart and made you feel welcome in his company.

Tramp is an enormous Rainbow fan because of Ronnie James Dio and the same goes for Sabbath. Ronnie brought so much melody to heavy metal, it was a great change.

Tramp says that with Ronnie gone, so is the space and throne he occupied, and no one can and will replace him or even fill his shoes.

Now let’s keep his rock’n’roll alive, always.
