You know, his second band when he was a kid was called Ronnie and the Rumblers, because they were really into the song “Rumble” by Link Wray and wanted to sound like that. They had to change their name to Ronnie and the Red Caps because the local community in whatever upstate New York backwater thought that the song “Rumble” was going to cause spontaneous gang violence to erupt if any teens heard it, so even including that word in the band’s name pretty much guaranteed that they would spawn an endless tide of teenage delinquency. So the owner of their first bigger venue made them change their name. Ronnie sang and played both bass and trumpet.
Fuck yeah, Dehumanizer! Love that album. That was from his weird extreme/noise metal phase; when he went back to doing solo stuff after parting ways with Sabbath that time around, he put out two albums with a guitarist named Tracy G who played these fill riffs that sounded like Optimus Prime having a seizure mid-transformation.. Most of the Angry Machines album explored the same “techbros are going to get us killed” theme, too!
DIOOOOOOO

Hell yeah, Dio deep lore! This song from an album he did with Black Sabbath warns of the tech bro threat.
