This is more scary than anything Dio has ever sung about!

They later called themselves The Electric Elves, soon simplified to 'The Elves,' which is when they started playing Hard Rock.

Then they later changed their name to Elf.

After that, Ronnie joined Ritchie Blackmore's Rainbow and Black Sabbath before launching into his solo career in 1983. Now you know.

See? You can always learn something at Metal Sludge.
