Dave Rock FeinsteinGino DePinto, AOL

Diminutive rocker David "Rock" Feinstein has a history with his cousin, the late Ronnie James Dio, who tragically passed in May 2010 after a battle with stomach cancer. Feinstein came by the ''Creep Show' to talk about his new album, 'Bitten by the Beast,' featuring the song 'Metal Will Never Die,' which has the distinction of being one of the last-ever vocals recorded by Dio.

The gracious Feinstein spoke about how the song came to be, as almost a premonition of what was to come. It took a new, almost angelic legacy. He fondly recalled Dio's huge sense of humor and recalled the time when the singer was under the weather and was in danger of losing his voice but still performed a show because he never wanted to disappoint his fans. It was like a fireside chat, where he shared some of the best memories of RJD.


Feinstein also guided us through other key tracks on 'Bitten by the Beast,' which is out Nov. 23. He recalled how a license plate with the mysterious Psalm 61 biblical reference inspired a song and how Dio's innocent involvement in a gambling scenario inspired 'Gambler, Gambler.' He talks about battling demons and takes us through some of his processes.

Enjoy this episode of ''Creep Show' episode, where a metal legend is remembered, celebrated and lives on.
