During an appearance on this past Monday's (May 24) edition of the nationally syndicated radio show "Rockline" with host Bob Coburn, Megadeth mainman Dave Mustaine spoke about the legendary heavy metal singer Ronnie James Dio (Dio, Heaven & Hell, Black Sabbath, Rainbow), who passed away on May 16 after a six-month battle with cancer.
"Everybody that's ever met Ronnie, they've got different types of stories," Mustaine said. "We've heard types of stories about his voice and how great he was as a man. And we've heard stories about his different lineups that he's been with.
"One of the things that I remember him most for was "Sixteenth Century Greensleeves" and "Man On The Silver Mountain", which was the first record that I'd ever gotten from him with Rainbow guitarist - Ritchie Blackmore.
"We had gone out on tour with him when Megadeth's "So Far, So Good, So What" came out and it was really, really making a statement, because we had broken the Top 200 with thrash metal, and nobody really knew what thrash metal was at the time.
"I remember talking to Ronnie - we were in catering - and I go, "Hey, Ronnie, I just wanna thank you for taking us out on tour." He goes, "Yeah, man. Thanks to you for coming, too." And I said, "No. I mean, really. Thanks. It's really cool." And he goes, "Look, we could both sit here and give each other handjobs or we could smoke this joint. What do you think?" And I was like, "Well..." So, needless to say, we smoked a joint and I passed on the handjob."
