Dio - as great as he was and his greatest power was in the lower register- Gillen's power was his excrptional range. He lifted up the higher notes of these Dio songs to stratospheres. Above no one else could reach withouth sounding bad.
@@peteroking Ray Guillan's version was very good but the version performed by Dio in Utrecht Netherlands is impeccable in my view and far superior in all aspects. Dio hits higher and sustained notes than Guillan in this version, impressive dynamics and variation of melodic designs with impeccable intonation, he hit a sustained E5 with extreme ease. The best version and besides being performed by the original singer.
Ray Gillen is the epitome of a rockstar. He's truly one of the best of all time. His voice is phenomenal. He is definitely missed in my music world. This guy had the look of a Rockstar the sound of a rockstar and always succeeded highly with any band.
I saw Sabbath with Ray on his first gig with them in Toronto Canada....and he blew my mind. I've always been a Dio fan and wasnt expecting to hear what I heard....he did a good job with the Ozzy tunes...but did the Dio tunes with so much respect and power...R.I P . Ray Gillen...CHEERS!
Everybody forgets that Geoff Nicholls was the longest serving Sabbath member after Tony Iommi till he departed in 2004. Former members and insiders say he was Tony's right hand man and always the glue that held whatever format Sabbath was together. He never got the credit and very little praise from Iommi for it. RIP
He ranks next to Iommi as far as the Dio/Martin etc era is concerned. Also a lyricist. Before Headless Cross he was the only shred of continuaty aside from Iommi. He also supposedly did ghost vocals on this tour when Glenn was messed up. As much respect as I have for Iommi as a musician, he doesn't have personal loyalty for others. He's forgotten that Tony Martin exists if we need any more evidence.
Ray Gillen (vocals) and Eric Singer (drums). Ray and Eric started Badlands in 1989 with ex-Ozzy Osbourne guitarist Jake E. Lee and the great bass player Greg Chaisson. Eric Singer is the drummer of KISS today.
Ray Gillen was one-of-his-kind and under-rated. It's good to hear his voice and ENERGY in this recording, even it's bit crappy sounding the ESSENCE is there. Thanks #blacksabfan for uploading this !
Ray Gillen is that guy that could’ve bypassed so many singers that had much less talent. Many of whom became much more rich and famous. He got a bad hand in the game of poker (life) I’m grateful for Badlands’ first two albums. A New Jersey guy with the best pipes in the country.
Thanks for posting this wonderful song. Ray Gillen did a wonderful job with Sabbath, pity his tenure with the band was short lived. I love Black Sabbath and never cared who the singer was. Their music has always been great.
Everytime I hear Ray singing this song it gives me goose bumps. The man had such phenomenal voice and range. He should have sung Headless Cross too. And would have pulked it off easily live too, that no one else could. ❤🤘
Ray Gillen had a great voice, and from what I read he was popular with Sabbath fans too. He wasn't short of confidence and personality God rest him. One of my favourite singers.
Why this man - *Ray Gillen* - had to pass so young... 34 years old... is a mystery that I will never figure out. Rock lost out big time when he passed. Just listen to that voice!!! God, he was amazing!!!
Dr Death not a mystery aids isn't a fan of anything or anyone.he should have taken better care of himself and watch out with just sleeping around with any and all nasty ass girl that let him.he was gifted from the heavens with that voice.but as long as fans like us are here to appreciate what he left us to enjoy he will live forever.R.I.P Ray
@@luamoliveira3467always bester with collaborât Doug Aldrich♥️🤘🏿Ronnie where’s older and years after years, voice change and his just F-I-R-E, Alright, it’s Alright 💤Look out👁️
Ray did it well. Another great line-up for Sabbath. The all time best Heavy Metal Band. We are all touched by the unconscious mind of the devil. Repent.
I remember freaking when I heard he passed. Man taken from us way too soon. Dude was awesome. Seen Badlands onetime. Toledo sports arena. Went over the wall later into the show. ROCKED!!!
dio laid the path...the vocal geography and dynamic. gillen followed the path that was laid before him... truly great vocalist... tragic that he ended so young... for me, no one can top RJD... unless it's RG singing RJD.
Dio was another level of extremely virtuous vocalist and one of the best vocalists of all time for many singing experts, no one surpassed him in his songs and even Ray Gillen who was the only one who did justice to Dio's songs, plus the performances Ronnie on the Live Evil 1982 show and the Holland 1983 show are untouchable in terms of consistency and vocal perfection but Gillen was a monster vocalist and had great potential at that time where his voice was already beginning to enter its peak, just like Dio , he's one of my favorite rock/metal singers too.
Ray was a great vocalist, may he RIP. He did a great version of this, it is not easy to do, especially considering the greatest heavy metal vocalist (imo) did the original, may he also RIP
He doesn't have quite the power Dio had, but I think he actually sounds pretty close! Been listening to Heaven And Hell since shortly after it came out (so hundreds of times!) and I think he fills Dio's shoes pretty damn good!
Check Out Ray Gillen singing heaven and Hell with his old band SAVAGE in 1981 for a local NY cable variety show. Search Rat Gillen Savage. SAVAGE is: Ray Gillen vocals Marco Castelluccio guitar (his brother played Furio on HBOs Sopranos) Donald Siudmak Drums (later founded Platinum on Rising Sun Records) Dan Brando bass
I like this. Ray sounds like a cross between David Coverdale (the Plant-isms and the abbreviated phrasing, and how he hits the vowels on "on and on and on") and Ronnie James Dio himself. In Jake E Lee's interview with Delray Jake said that for the Sabbath stuff Ray actually tried to sound like Dio somewhat, but his true voice was on the Badlands records.
Sei de duas versões para a saída do Ray Gillen, a primeira diz que foi financeira, o Sabbath não queria pagar o que ele achava que merecia. A segunda é que o Ray não tinha gostado das músicas do Eternal Idol, teria dito que não soaria legal ao vivo. Acredito na primeira, dizem que o Iommi é muito pão duro.
Baita vocalista , outro na realidade pois no sabbath só passou fodoes, bateristas também, vinny appice, cozy powell e por aí vai, essa banda muito foda.
When Ray was in Badlands, and I was in BURN (managed by NIJI Management) we all used to rehearse at Mates Studios in N. Hollywood, and hang out all the time. -Rik Fox -(BURN)
Great song verson by Ray Gillen. Great vocalist which unfortunately had a very short tenure with Black Sabbath. Would have made a great vocalist with this timeless band.
Why do you guys complain about the replacements singers? It wasn't their choice, so don't complain when they are asked to sing songs prior to their joining. Sabbath kicked serious ass after Ozzy with Dio, Ray, Tony....at least they kept it going. support them all!
this guy could have been one of the best black sabbath singers, incredible performance, maybe too much talking, but his range and quality of tone are incredible
Juan Perez 👋 hello, for me « Heaven&Hell « just RONNIE could singing this🤘💕RONNIE🤘Ronnie, it’s ALRIGHT!!! ALRIGHT🤘LOOK OUT!!!difficult singing Ronnie, version, voice so different🤷♀️ but i mais lik’e Ray😆
@bauhaus2121 WOW! I cant believe you said that! I have ALWAYS thought Ray (well, Ray with EVERYTHING he did) and TONY MARTIN were my favorite. Tony Martin never got the praise he deserved in my opinion, Some GREAT albums and an amazing vocalist! Tony Martin is on Facebook, if you look him up!
@MrJimmyBain23 Hmmm. Gillen did Sabbath before Badlands? Oh how much I didnt know. I was able to see Badlands a couple times in San Francisco in 1989 and 1999. What a great band. Jake E Lee was phenominal, as was Gillen. One of the best live shows Ive seen, and Ive seen A LOT of em since my first concert in 1977. Led Zeppelin. Cheers!
All my videos? Actually I have plenty of Dehumanizer-era vids, vids from the first lineup, vids from the first Dio lineup, the Born Again lineup, and from the current "Heaven and Hell". So its quite obvious I don't have any sort of bias with regards to Sabbath's lineups. Sabbath is Tony Iommi's band...it always has been. If you don't like this, then don't watch it and more so, don't post on it. Besides obviously you can't read because the title it clearly says "Ray Gillen vocals".
I have to say that I heard Ray for the 1st time yesterday with Sabbath, and I like him very much, I'm old school, Ozzy is Sabbath to me, Dio carried them well Ian did a good album them, and now I hear this young man who left us to soon, and I am absolutely in awe listening to his voice, it is beautiful. Too bad he didn't stay and complete Eternal Idol with Sabbath, he is 10 times better than Tony Martin and Glen Hughes.
@slavemale2 : That's Dave 'The Beast" (not east) Spitz. on bass.We're both from NY and an old friend of mine, as was Ray Gillen, whom I knew from his days playing covers in New jersey-we played the same Jersey cover circuit. -Rik Fox- (Steeler, SIN, Surgical Steel)
@acqua257 - I saw Harlette back in the day at the Circus in NJ. Ray was a beautiful man with a terrific voice. I was saddened to hear of him passing away at such a young age. Do you remember a nightclub in Nanuet NY called After Dark?
Ossie and sabbath are the original but gotta give Props to dio of course!!! Rainbow wasn't a small band by any means ha. And you know Glenn hughes, Ian Gillan and even this version of em was pretty amazing live. But sabbath bloody sabbath will always hold a special place in my heart. But saw Ray play w em in philly at the spectrum and gotta say they were tight and loud and he was on the ark. Rip Ray.
No hay dudas, Ray Gillen fue el mejor cantante que tuvo Tony Iommy a su lado a lo largo de toda su carrera, luego viene Padre Ronnie James Dio! Los dos mejores en la historia!
vos capo que yo dentro de las bandas que oigo esta es una de esas que suelo oir entre Queen zep Scorpions y ac dc .... revisando a Gillen al principio no entendía porque hacían y tanto lio con este tipo ( pensaba despues de oir a Martin en estudio por el tipo de voz mas parecido a coverdale , que porque decian que era mejor , pero claro Tony Martin en vivo flaquea vocalmente hablando y Gillen interpretaba el material de la bruja sin problemas ).
Tony Iommi's riffage is unbelievable in this song. Dio's original vocals are very similar to Ray Gillen's. I would have thought he would try to make this song his own.
Great vocals. Very strong chest voice, which is what this song requires. I do love Gillan and Halford's takes on this song, though, with more emphasis on the screams.
This is a copy of the vinyl bootleg "The Sphinx". There's a few sources to this though. This isn't the FM, although unlike the FM...this is complete. I think it sounds good for an audience recording. The date is 2 June 1986, as stated.
Probably one of the best rock singers to walk the earth . Died to soon ,
And we are still listening to him in 2022
Ray was the full package .Amazing voice, looks,and stage presence. I can still hear his voice in the wind. Miss you Ray. 🙏
He was trash
I saw this tour. Philly Feb '86 a week after seeing Ray sing with Sabbath I moved to LA to start my own music career. Ray was magnificent.
Ray was a great singer with great range. And he can sing live too. Though this song is all Dio, I think Ray did it justice.
I actually think he did a better job, live anyway.
Dio - as great as he was and his greatest power was in the lower register- Gillen's power was his excrptional range. He lifted up the higher notes of these Dio songs to stratospheres. Above no one else could reach withouth sounding bad.

I know it's like 15 years ago you posted this but I just had to say isoray with Sabbath February of 86 changed my life forever
Ray Gillen what a voice!
Everybody forgets that Geoff Nicholls was the longest serving Sabbath member after Tony Iommi till he departed in 2004. Former members and insiders say he was Tony's right hand man and always the glue that held whatever format Sabbath was together. He never got the credit and very little praise from Iommi for it. RIP
While Nicholls deserves praise I see the glue as iommi for keeping the sabbath style alive and he is what created the sound we all love
He never was a member( full) hired gun behind the stage or to the side
@@randymoran67 I consider anyone who wrote the bassline to Heaven and Hell to be a full member
He ranks next to Iommi as far as the Dio/Martin etc era is concerned. Also a lyricist. Before Headless Cross he was the only shred of continuaty aside from Iommi. He also supposedly did ghost vocals on this tour when Glenn was messed up. As much respect as I have for Iommi as a musician, he doesn't have personal loyalty for others. He's forgotten that Tony Martin exists if we need any more evidence.

Classic Ray!! God Love him......
They toured under the name. It is what it is. They are all members of Black Sabbath.
Absolutely amazing live vocal from Ray Gillen. He stepped in, as Glenn Hughes left the band 5 dates into this tour
10 and he was fired.
True 🎵🎼🎶🎹🎤🎸😎👊
Glenn Hughes was really hitting the drugs hard at this time and his voice was wrecked that's why Ray Gillen had to replace Glenn
great voice rip ray

Gillen could sing Dio-era stuff quite well.
sweet, pulls from his chest voice and vibrato to brig shades of Dio..great fucking job !
No chest voice, this mix voice.
Nah. It was a lot of full. voice. Like Ripper Owen’s
Big difference between Ripper and Gillen full voice compared to Tates Passagio to head voice from full.
Not 4 nothin but Ray Gillen has 1 of the best voices in the history of metal.
