some of the songs because Tony Iommi was on a different continent. I'm really jealous of Tony's ability to come up with these really cool riffs. They're so simple, interestingly simple and heavy. I think he is soloing better than he used too. Robert: Many of the song on this new compilation album, The Very Beast of Dio Vol. 2, features you as the guitar player. How does it feel to see these songs repackaged and re-released? Craig Goldy: It really is an honor just to be part of it, period. It's nice to have been thought of in that way, because it wasn't me who picked those songs. It was nice that that's what they chose to do. It's the original recordings remastered. Robert: Your playing in Dio Disciples, a tribute to Ronnie. What's next for the band? Craig Goldy: It's kind of hard to do Ronnie songs without Ronnie, of course. But ,we're doing it because we want to pay tribute to him and keep his memory alive. When any major family member passes away, the remaining family members often get together in order to keep his memory alive and be remembered, so that's what we're doing. We were his family. There were a lot of people doing tributes to Ronnie who weren't in the band and some of them had no business doing it. Eventually there was a time when Wendy was like, "I think it's time for you guys to go out and do it now."
