In an interview on Uranium, Dio stated that the "dragon" of the album title refers to technology. Killing the Dragon introduces guitarist Doug Aldrich to the band. He had previously performed with Burning Rain and subsequently went on to join the band Whitesnake. Previous guitarist, Craig Goldy, co-wrote some of the songs before leaving the band. He returned for 2004's Master of the Moon. The song "Push" was a hit and had a music video that featured Tenacious D performing a humorous cover of Ronnie James Dio's biggest song from his time with Black Sabbath, "Heaven and Hell". Dio approaches them to tell them that he will pay them to play Tenacious D music. The "Limited Tour Edition" came in a slipcase with poster and added two bonus tracks : 11. Fever Dreams (Live at the Rotterdam Ahoy 2001 with Deep Purple) 12. Rainbow in the Dark (Live at the Rotterdam Ahoy 2001 with Deep Purple) |
