I would love to come back stage with my hubby Tim.If we may.
[16:41] (RONNIE) Hi Tammy. Sorry we missed Seattle this time but you must blame Iron Maiden. The tour wasn't scheduled for Seattle but we'll be there next time. I'd love to sign your photos and meet your husband!

[16:44] (locked_up_wolf) In San Diego radio stations dont playg a book. How's your progress on it? (i.e., when can I get my [signed] copy? ;-)) much metal anymore, but what do you see at all of the shows with low or high attendance? And who is one of your favorite new bands?
[16:44] (RONNIE) The book is half completed and probably won't be finished for another year. At that time I'll be more than happy to sign it for you.
[16:46] (RONNIE) I see a resurgence of metal just from observing the audience. I think they're back. Although they are a few years old I love TOOL

[16:46] (skorzeny) Hi Ronnie.... can you tell me the meaning of the song don't talk to strangers...??....greetings from the Dutch Dio Discipels...we'll be there next time when you come to the Netherlands!!
[16:48] (RONNIE) Hi Dio Disciples! The song is simply a warning to know the people you interact with before you give them your heart. We all know the type of stranger we're talking about.
[16:48] (RONNIE) stargazingb?
[16:48] (stargazingbassplayer) Hi, Ronnie! This is Egon from the north of Sweden! First I want to thank you for helping me through some bad times with your great music. You have helped me a lot! My question: Is it because you once played the trumpet and learned "breathing control", that you sing so amazingly well?

I'm currently in a Black Sabbath Tribute Band in San francisco called Sabbath Bloody Sabbath and am at a crossraods in my life. Since I was a child I have been thinkin and dreaming of playing for you on drums. I have been playing for over 15 years but I'm considering giving up my musical dream of one day paying for you. I ha
[16:49] (RONNIE) Certainly that's a great part of it because without technique nothing works and thanks for the compliments and I'm glad the music had an influence on your life

[16:51] (RONNIE) stream?
[16:51] (stream) We met you (Anders & Mattias) Ronnie in Sweden this year. Do you remember us? We saw you two times and gave you and Wendy a couple of Candlesticks. Anders question: 1) What is "Lonely is the word" all about? (Jesus= "the word" in the bible...) Mattias question 2) You have always been talking about "white Magic". Still you let the darker parts dominate your records. How come? Some are hungry for heaven - but we are dying to see you again!!
