Tony Palmero, drummer for @PapaRoach shares a Ronnie memory & this photo from São Paulo. Thanks Tony! #Repost @tonyproach: DIO is one of my favorite artists ever and when we rolled into @radiorock89 São Paulo I had throw my horns up. It was such an honor meeting and conversing with him when we performed together at @hellfestopenair I bought him his favorite drink which was Rum and Coke and it seemed irrelevant considering he paid for years of my musical training when I played drums to all the early records. It’s true, he did remember your name and was a very kind human being. Still one of my most memorable meetings ever. #forevergrateful #dio
