I met Dio on many occasions but the first time was backstage after FOZZY opened for Motorhead in 2004. Ronnie was impressed with our show and told me so and when I shook his hand in gratitude I spilt my drink on him.

Mortified I apologized profusely. Ronnie was as gracious as always and told me it was "No Problem". I said "I was afraid you were gonna put a spell on me!" Ronnie looked at me menacingly and said "How do you know I haven't?" and gave me the evil eye hand gesture! I pooped my pants and was about to run screaming into the night when he burst out laughing and walked away. Awesome! Dio lives on forever.
