Think about what a golden era this was for metal: you had Sabbath with Dio, Judas Priest with Halford and Iron Maiden with Dickenson, all in their absolute primes. Legendary.
Not to mention the fact that Ozzy got in his right mind and decided to want a successful career. Not gonna get into the who is better - Ozzy or Dio debate here. They were both great in their own right, vastly different stylistically, but great nonetheless. I had the privilege to see the Dio fronted Sabbath in Lakeland FL. circa 1982 or so. They put on a memorable show. A few months before or after Sabbath, I had tickets to see Ozzy in Orlando. Unfortunately Randy Rhoads met his tragic end, and of course Ozzy cancelled. They got someone, Pat Travers or Robin Trower, I don't remember to fill in, but it was hands down the single most somber concert I ever attended. Conversely I had tickets to see Clapton in Biloxi MS just 5 days after SRV died in Alpine Valley. We were so apprehensive that EC would cancel, but the show went on. Clapton did not say a word about SRV. He just let his guitar mourn, and Lord did it ever. It was quite a memorable and cathartic performance.
The early '80s were the 'Golden Age of Heavy Metal & Hard Rock, i.e., BLACK SABBATH w/DIO; OZZY w/Randy RHOADS; JUDAS PRIEST w/Rob 'The Metal GOD' Halford; IRON MAIDEN w/Bruce DICKINSON; TRIUMPH w/Rik EMMETT; JOURNEY w/Steve PERRY; VAN HALEN w/David Lee Roth; RUSH w/Geddy LEE; AC\DC w/Brian JOHNSON; SCORPIONS w/Klaus MEINE; KISS w/Paul STANLEY; QUEEN w/Freddie MERCURY; BLUE ÖYSTER CÜLT w/Eric BLOOM; Y&T w/Dave MENIKETTI; et cetera. My GOD! The talent was incredible. No autotune; no samples; no loops.
@Remington Longshaft Tony Martin was AWESOME! But... in the Tony Martin era (or should I say: Tony Iommi era) Black Sabbath wasn't so heavy as the Ozzy and Dio era. With Tony Martin, everything was more like a little bit of Hair Metal mixed with Power Metal. Fans actually missed the good old days, and after the failure of the Forbidden album, Iommy got the original band together for the Reunion Tour which was a total success. After that, fans wanted Black Sabbath to be what it was back in the 70's.
@@MetalMe55iah It’s true! Iommy was the heart of Black Sabbath, just like Eddie Van Halen in Van Halen and not David Lee Roth. But if we are ONLY going to talk about the Sabbath’s singers I definitely would say that Ozzy was the best, then Dio, then Martin, I didn’t like Ian Gillan and Glenn Hughes too much.
No one could sing like Dio....he was one of a kind....had an operatic voice that could rise and fall like thunder and growl and snarl like a beast of legends....no one ever came close to his command of the genre...he owned it....he was the real deal.
@@johnxina5126 I think Tino meant that when they did the original Heaven and Hell sessions Geezer wasn't around so Geoff Nichols played bass when they were developing this song. Geoff's previous band (Quartz) had a song called Mainline Riders that had a very similar bassline to this. :)
Agreed Geezer and Lemmy are 2 main reasons I own a bass I can’t play yet? But I will learn I just got it for Christmas it’s a fender p bass but it’s good for beginners. As well as Cliff from AC/DC and Cliff Burton rock in peace from Metallica as well as Robert also from Ozzy and Metallica. And many others including one of the legends herself Carol Kaye.
Good grief, Ronnie James Dio was one of the all-time greatest metal gods.. May he rest in peace. I will always cherish his voice every time I hear it until I am dead.
The greatest Frontman that ever lived. Saw him live at least a dozen times and he was First Rate every show. He was humble and thanked the fans like a true gentleman because he knew without them he was nothing. Pure Class.
"The closer you get to the meaning, the sooner you know you're dreamin'" - this is exactly how I would describe the time passing and heading towards death. Impeccable performance.
It is about an extremly religius thinking, about if you do the well is your work, and if you do a wrong you are a bad person, "sing me a song, you are a singer, do me a wrong, you are a bringer of evil". That part is for those blind mind person who thinks whit that extremly religius being and "the closer you get to the meaning, the sooner you now that you are dreaming" is the realization that you can enjoy the things the live has and that does not make you a bad person " the lover of live, is not a sinner". The song is about how they put you in heaven or in hell always thinking they have the only truth while blind your dreams. 🤘

I'll start getting saying that Ozzy's voice is one of the fundaments that made Black Sabbath be. But Dio's voice is something else. He's the best singer in my book and also a good man who cared about every one of his fans. The world would have been a much better place if he was still alive. I wish all Black Sabbath fans the best and RIP Ronnie, you are and will be forever missed.

RJD composes crowds and gives insane performances all in one. Now I understand why rock music was so revered and epic compared to today.. This was just one song and it felt like a whole show, talk about getting your money's worth. Masters of craft at work
Have you heard of Candlemass from the early, mid 80s? You might like them. Pure doom with just incredible opera vocals. Check out a song called Samarithan.
Was lucky to see them once on the Dehumanizer tour at the Sunrise Musical Theater in Florida back in the early nineties. Danzig opened on his How the Gods Kill tour. Was a great show.
My uncle talks about this tour this was the black & blue tour he gets goose bumps as big as golf balls when he talks about said it was amazing.He said when they walked into Hara Arena is looked like a huge funeral home lol
Heaven And Hell Sing me a song, you're a singer Do me a wrong, you're a bringer of evil The devil is never a maker The less that you give, you're a taker So it's on and on and on, it's heaven and hell Oh well The lover of life's not a sinner The ending is just the beginner The closer you get to the meaning The sooner you'll know that you're dreaming So it's on and on and on, oh it's on and on and on It goes on and on and on, Heaven and Hell I can tell Fool, fool Oh uh Yeah, yeah, yeah Well if it seems to be real, it's illusion For every moment of truth, there's confusion in life Love can be seen as the answer, but nobody bleeds for the dancer And it's on and on, on and on and on and on and on and on and on They say that life's a carousel Spinning fast, you've got to ride it well The world is full of kings and queens Who blind your eyes and steal your dreams It's heaven and hell, oh well And they'll tell you black is really white The moon is just the sun at night And when you walk in golden halls You get to keep the gold that falls It's heaven and hell, oh no Fool, fool You've got to bleed for the dancer Fool, fool Look for the answer Fool, fool, fool
This is real Heavy Metal , No screaming unintelligibly , no wall of sound where you cannot differentiate the instruments . An incredibly simple but incredibly evil sounding guitar riff , smooth rolling bass guitar , great drumming and of course Ronnie James Dio ..
DIO, displays a jaunty masterful confidence when he moves back and forth that doesn't have a hint of arrogance is what I find captivating about him. It's also the eye looks along with the facial expression that goes with that back and forth motions of his .
@@BSIII Well he's a professional person since in music it's 100% from beginning to end complete, no in between, imagine a car without carburetor , not much of a car now is it, it's 100% with full confidence in performing.
@@summermcpherson8209 Yes he was. He said there was always Opera music 🎶 around his house. I remember buying a cassette tape of Mario Lanza many years ago just to hear his voice and boy..that man was good, but I just couldn't get into the whole Opera thing😆😄
So why would anyone want to do opera? It's a crappy style of music... He's the best, or at least one of the best rock/heavy metal singers of all time, and opera singers would be terrible at rock
I've listened to Rap and Dance for 20+ years and have just discovered Metal and there's no going back. Dio is a masterful showman, one of the best performances I've ever seen, I would have loved to have seen him live. Amazing. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
SuperDriven1 He was a class act. I seen him with Sabbath in 92'. He was sick with the flu and still did the show. He could of easily cancelled it but told the crowd he would never do that. He always was a guy that loved his fans... he knew that if it wasn't for us, he wouldn't be there. One of the greatest of all times.
Real Sabbath and Metal fans will never forget the Triumphant Dio Years. Everyone has their opinion on who they prefer, but at the end of the day let's all just bang our heads and enjoy some great fucking music.
Not quite, Glen. They used an offstage keyboard player and guitarist for most of their career. Check out a song like Neon Knights, and as Tony solos you can still hear the rhythm guitar part
Saw this concert in Sudbury, Ontario, Canada and it was amazing. Tony Iommi is the Godfather of the riff and what a voice Ronnie had! Geezer on the bass and Vinnie Appice on the drums. Just Amazing as I've never seen speakers chained to the ceiling and floor in a concave manner. I thought the roof was going to blow off!
Oh man, Vinny Appice is a sight to behold live, seen him play three times, a true drumming God. Edit: I also heard his older brother Carmine in the early 70's.
Love Black Sabbath, any era. I was 15 when I got Black Sabbath my first album. I loved to watch the evolution. RJD has a a soulful deep resonating voice that vibes down to my bones. He fussed with his hair even more than I perceived doing myself, back then!😂 Great memories. I asked my beloved divine, creator or all that is, to be transported back to the 70’s again. I loved the feeling of laid back-ness and peace & freedom and and I landed here in Panama. ❤
A voz do Dio era o próprio Heaven and Hell! Em um momento soa angelical e tranquilo como o paraíso e em outro momento é obscuro e assustador como o inferno.
@@_MAELVerdade, ele é o único cantor que cantava quase que totalmente em pura voz de peito mas tendo extremo controle e domínio do instrumento vocal dele e, você percebe como ele mantém a garganta bem aberta e a embocadura não abre tanto pra produzir esse som tão ressonante, Dio era também mestre em compressão muscular e resistência vocal e isso foi mencionado até mesmo por alguns profissionais de canto e inclusive pelo Ken Tamplin que é um dos mais conceituados na área, por isso que ele consegue sustentar notas de peito cheio com tanta facilidade e acredito que o alcance dele nesse registro vai até um inacreditável G5 que ele atingiu na música Wild One em versão de estúdio, é nítido que ele projetou aquela nota com uso de técnica de distorção garganta e no qual ele era mestre nesse aspecto, você sequer ouve qualquer pico de vibração na cabeça dele, eu tive que estudar a voz dele de forma um pouco mais profunda pra entender como ele conseguia fazer essas coisas, Dio é considerado um cantor absolutamente virtuoso pela comunidade do canto e sem nunca sequer ter tido uma aula de canto na vida, um talento assim ao meu ver só nasce 1 a cada um milhão.
Ozzy was instrumental in making Sabbath Sabbath - but with Dio the music picked up pace and got a new dimension because his voice is such an incredible instrument in its own right.

There have been many great metal frontmen from Ozzy, Halford, etc, but no one even comes close to Ronnie James Dio. The greatest metal front man of all time.

@@jonginder5494 dio doesn’t have the insane high notes of halford, but he also doesn’t really rely on his range, dio has a much denser and more controlled tone
He came at just the right time to the band when ozzy had his problems. He brought a whole new dimension to the band. Outstanding singer and will always be remembered as a legend ❤

I watch this and it just brings tears to my eyes to see Ronnie James Dio. He was such a big influence on my singing. Hope to see you one day our good friend.
Ronnie James Dio did so much for the music world than he is given credit for even now after his death 10 years ago, he was a showman and his vocal range was on another level. like the Freddy Mercury of Black Sabbath
Black Sabbath has written their own music history and changed the music scene forever creating always good music and left us a great work of art and a great discography...!!!!!!!

Ronnie was the finest at his craft. He expected the best from himself and his band mates. I was lucky enough to see him at the United Center in Downtown Chicago on his Mob Rules tour. He blew the lid off the place. Just an A++ performance. It's hard to find anyone that could be his equal. RIP my friend.

For ALL have sinned and fallen short of God's glory. That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. 1. Admit you are a sinner. 2. Just simply 😍 believe in your heart ❤️ that Jesus Christ is your Savior for your sins. *If you do, you will go to heaven.
@@deputy1968 We don't need to repent of our sins to be saved. Salvation is a ONE-TIME EVENT. You cannot keep being saved and unsaved repeatedly. Jn 3:16 Acts 16:30-31 (what must I do to be SAVED?) Romans 10:9 Galatians 3 Jonah 3:10 Hebrew 10:26 Romans 5:18 Titus 3:5-6 Repentance of sin is a type of work that's done actively. Jonah 3:10. And God saw their WORKS; THAT THEY TURNED FROM THEIR EVIL WAY; Titus 3:5-6 NOT BY WORKS OF RIGHTEOUSNESS (REPENT OF SINS) which we have done, BUT ACCORDING TO HIS MERCY HE SAVED US by the washing of the Holy Ghost; Which he shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Savior; That being JUSTIFIED BY HIS GRACE, we should be heirs according to the hope of eternal life. ALSO We cannot turn from all our sins which means that we still have unrepented sins. That makes any churchgoers guilty when they think they need to repent of their sins to be saved from condemnation. That's why God's sacrifice 🙏, burial, and resurrection is the one & only narrow path to be saved. He did all the work. Humans just need to believe in His work on the calvary. God bless. List where Jesus Christ says exactly the these words, "repent of your sins to be saved." Nowhere is it found in the Bible. If we need to repent of our sins to be saved, then Jesus didn't need to die for our sins. Repent means change of mind.
Heaven and Hell is always my favorite song. Because it explains the story of my entire life. And still lives on today . Thos song will be played at my funeral when it's time to lay me down forever.
Nice Choice but mine will be Led Zeppelin Stairway to Heaven. And you all have a good drink and celebrate my life with a bottle of Jameson Whiskey when they play the song. Cheers!
me too i was right out of high school when it came out, i was dragged to a methodist church by my insane angry hateful controlling mother my dad and sister too, mom was kind and loving until going insane from christianity, the lyrics hit home on the evil of organized religion that i knew as a 4 year old, how sick that fuqin book of lies really is
I’m touched by your comment that would be a Great Song for your send off..this Earth is all about heaven and hell you live in hell and forever live in Heaven with family friends and Dio and with the Father and Son ...
I feel honored to be grown up from this. I'm only 12 years old right now, and still love metal. My dad and me have such a strong bond from our interest in the same music. I'm basically a daddy's princess. My mom also likes metal. But I love how I was grown up with Black Sabbath, Posion, Iron Maiden, Nirvana, Ozzy, and P!nk. It may sound bad but I absolutely loved it.
The greatest Rock lead singer ever! When this came out people me included thought Sabbath was done, they wern't drawing sell out crowds in the late 70's disco era and I remember thinking Nobody could replace Ozzie,then I heard this song, I was blown away and forgot him temporarily right there, greatest singer with the greatest Riff master,

The Great Ronnie James Dio voice influenced Bruce Dickinson and many others. Dio is a true legend, the truly voice of Black Sabbath. Ronnie James is absolutely amazing. The sound of Sabbath is made for the Dio Voice. Thank you for the timeless sound,
ehhhhhhhh. Ronnies time in Sabbath was a definite core era of Sabbath for sure with no doubt. But Sabbaths original sound wasnt for Dio. Ozzys era blew the music world a new asshole. The dawn of heavy metal. no matter how good Dio is (which was great, and some great songs written) It can never be said to be better than the dawn of the age
El mundo necesita más maestros virtuosos y revolucionarios como la voz más grande de todos los tiempos en el Heavy Metal. RONNIE JAMES DIO! Por siempre leyenda del Rock y la música. Vive!
I was in my early teens when Dio passed away, but trust me when I say, even my daughter will keep his memory alive, the greatest singer to have ever lived !
the best formation of the Sabbath Band ... musically they reached the Top in the Albums with Dio and the drummer vinny Appice. Tony and Geezer Top performace!
BTW my high school year book has my favorite quote from RJD 'the world is full of kings and queens who'll blind your eyes and steel your dreams, it's Heaven and Hell.'
O que esse baixinho cantava não é fácil de mensurar. Eu amo o Sabbath em todas as suas fases, sabem, mas o Heaven and hell é o meu disco favorito. O mais coeso, melódico e pesado - na minha opinião - do início ao fim. Viva, Sabbath. Viva, Dio.
