I think what Gene is doing w/ the thumb out is "I love you", whether or not it means that for the deaf I could not tell you, but I seem to remember each finger equaling one word of the phrase.
I've seen the thing where Dio claims to have invented the "devil horns" from what his grandmother used to do. Hell, Wiki even ties it into John Lennon w/ the Beatles - Sign of the horns - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia I say let Dio have it, God knows Gene's got his name on everything else, I'm sure if he could trademark this he would and then charge everyone every time they do it too. The Beatles? Well hello, there is not much out there just as big as the Beatles except for maybe Elvis and the Stones, so again, if little RJD wants credit for his "small" (pun intended contribution to metal, I say let him have it. "WE ROCK!!!"

Dokken toured with him that year. HAhahaha! Dokken! Had to google it. I don't remember Dokken.
Reference the hand sign... Chances are good that it dates to the Egyptian times. |

Either way Stomach Cancer is no joke. I'll pray that God helps him through the fight faster one way or another. If his plan is to send DIO on to the next plane at the end of this battle, then better it to be sooner than to continue to suffer while racking up more and more medical bills for his family to have to deal with.
Cancer sucks. |

Oh my god! All of our generations heros are dropping like flies. It makes me feel old. This is a sad day but Satan's band got one hell of a singer.
EDIT: I hope he can pull thru.

Gene Simmons did not invent the devil's horns. Dio did. Dio said his grandmother was religious and used the sign to ward off evil spirits. Gene Simmons used to do a similar hand sign, but his was the "I love you" sign. Which is the devil's horns with the thumb extended out instead of tucked in. It is sign language for the deaf.
However, what Gene was doing, at least in the instance I'm talking about, was not the "I love you" sign. In the footage I mentioned there is an interview over dubbed where he explains that what he is doing is the Spiderman thing. Gene says this started very early on. He explains why he did it and what he meant by it (essentially nothing, he was just playing with the crowd). The footage is clear albeit in black and white, it looks like he is doing this: http://www.exciters-exodus.com/wp-co...-spiderman.gif Except that his hand is up the other way. Anyway, you are so sure that it was Dio, because he supposedly said himself it was him, that I believe you. Of course, next week someone will tell me that it was actually Bob Dylan who invented it. And they’ll know it’s true because some obscure source told them that Bob said it was so, and so it was. The point I’m making is, while plenty will claim to have invented it (or at least brought it into the metal music genre) I doubt anyone will know the truth – or needs to. You can choose to believe that it was Dio, I will continue to accept that it may have been Gene, and we can all live happily ever after. But I really just wanted to clarify what I was talking about. - Ian |
