Dio Inspired American Idol's James Durbin

"Ronnie [James Dio] was such a force in metal, and it just really made me wanna push my limits," continued James. "He had such a beautifully operatic voice, but was able to transcend genres and transcend barriers and transcend age. There were the old, haggard dudes who hang out at the Rainbow [Bar & Grill in Hollywood], he affected those people and he affected young kids like me." Check out the video here
