Ronnie was in class by himself. Saw him 3x in DIO. The ability of Ronnie to adapt and find fluidity with those sabbath members says a lot about Ronnie and the members of Sabbath. It was meant to be, and I really miss Ronnie too 😢
I missed seeing Heaven & Hell in Dallas right before Ronnie fell ill. We had just seen Rush at The Toyota outdoor venue and passed The Hard Rock with H & H on the billboard. Should’ve went down and seen it.
I have been listening to this album for 33 years now. I would have easily got rid of wishing well lady evil and walk away, and I wish I shared a joint with BS angels
A heavy metal masterpiece in my opinion. . Not one bad song off this great album. A solid fuckin 10. . With outstanding guitar work and guitar solos. Awesome lyrics. . Pure fuckin gold here. . The metal god. Ronnie James Dio. . 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
Remember buying this album. I was in my local record store as a goofy 18 year old! Flicking through all the vinyls! Next thing this album came on through the stores pa system! Wow I thought. Who the hell is this!! I asked the assistant and she said it was Black Sabbaths new album. Heaven and Hell! I bought a copy straight away😀 Still play it to this day and I'm 59 now 😎
I'm 59! In '79 I heard the Cars Candy-O in the store's PA and bought it on the spot. Back then, I was a super Christian boy and wouldn't dare think of buying a Black Sabbath album. If I knew then what I have learned through life, I would have bought that album instantly. Peace out my fellow fifty-niners... and yes, we did have the greatest music!!!
RJD clearly has far more range and a more melodious timbre, but I've always preferred Ozzy on vocals when it comes to Black Sabbath. His voice just fits the whole Sabbath vibe a lot better in my opinion, it blends perfectly with their ominous tone. RJD is definitely an amazing singer, but for me Ozzy is an intrinsic component in the overall Sabbath sound.
My idol was..K.K..AND RANDY ..why I learned to play but I surpassed that technology. ...became much harder player ...but this is who I followed..stay safe Rockerz

The fact that 42 years later we're talking about this album shows what a musical masterpiece this is. One if the best albums in history and all genres. What a gift Ronnie is to the world. And with the original Black Sabbath is absolutely phenomenal! Y'all have exquisite taste in music! Bravo!

@@vitocorleone1742 I disagree i do love ozzy very much but dio is another level and he took the band to the next level even if it was only for a short period of time. My opinion both are Mazing artists.
Heaven and Hell is the first record I play when youngsters want to get into Metal. I know there are better known and more famous ones, but this Sabbath is the perfect example of how 80's Heavy Metal sounds. Teens get hooked right away and will never quit from being Heshers. Respect and Metal! 🤘🏼
My friends and I went to the Roxy in Hollywood when Mr varney was first starting his metal promotions. There was like 15 bands. None of them had a real song line up. I think there was 20 people in the audience. Got to see a lot of unknowns...slayer, king diamond, Metallica with Dave mustaine and cliff Burton. Betsy from bitch comes out in a leather teddy and started giving buttons to anyone who would kiss her ass. That was the start of metal. That was the first time they opened the Roxy in 25 years. The next day we got to Lizzy Borden in a high school auditorium..
This album was the anthem of my youth. Dio is a great performer and the riffs on this are so tight and concise, that this album will always be a winner.
My most favorite album of all time. I used to carry this big ol boom box around Oahu blasting this album on cassette back in the early 80's. I sure miss those days. Life was much simpler.
@@poedottaviano6924 Nice point. I would put Blizzard of Oz, Back in Black and Rumours as the top come back albums of all time. This one is really in the top 20.
Side 1 of this album still stands the test of time as one of the BEST 4-song groupings in history. From the opening riff of Neon Knights to the thunderous closing of Heaven and Hell - pure brilliance.
@@brittanyazzopardi5919 love them too. I followed Dio since '74 with "ELF . And your right- entire LP was righteous especially in 1980. Kept the rockers goin through the musical change of that year. !
First heard this after a grueling football practice in High School and was blown away by the riff lines and blended change ups intermixed with the bass lines in Neon Knights. I bought the album a few weeks later off a fence in school who got them really cheap and wore out my turntable listening to it, it still holds up 40 years later. A very powerful and emotionally charged album. DIO will always be one of the best lead singers in the metal genre.
Thats so cool how we remember and associate these great albums with our memories and to the day ! Football practice, that's awesome. I was hanging out with a really fine girl I met after moving back to OC CA. after school. and this was playing. Good Times.
Lonely is the Word is the strongest song on album, and one of Sabbath's all time greats by any lineup! Saw tours for Heaven and Hell and Mob Rules and they were phenomenal!
I'm reading Dio's autobiography. I've loved him from the first time I heard the power of his voice. Knowing how he just KNEW he and Tony Iommi were meant to work together the moment he heard what would become "Children of the Sea" makes this record even more special.
What power. Still RJD has this over my ears ! I’m 55 and it moves me like I was 15 ! God bless rock n roll & 🤘🏼🤘🏼 u Ronnie Black Sabbath & so many more musicians
Ronnie was such a legend even back in the day everyone knew he was special, it sucks I missed my chance to see the Holy Diver tour , my buddy did have a ticket and felt bad for taking off that afternoon , so right before they left for the show , he said , hey man , close yer eyes open yer mouth , normally I would have never for a second trusted him or anyone that told me to do that but on that day I thought , no way he'd punk me with a trick , but instead he stuck a little purple barrel on my tongue and said have fun , at 15 yo I had never had more fun that night , even trippin alone for the very first time it was a blast , I ran in to some other friends that didn't go to the show , I damn sure didn't tell them what I had gotten in to that night , man those were the days , metal ruled the world .. thanks Frank . rock 🤟
Great story Wow. I know the feeling. Good u had fun. I saw Dio Heaven and Hell tour. 1981. Toronto. I was 14. I missed a Maiden concert one day and had tickets in hand! Rock on
I worked in airfreight. I personally went to LA to take Black Sabbath to Hawaii on the Black and Blue tour. Ronnie and I became friends..He was one of the nicest and most talented people in the music business. I helped him with DIO also. We remained friendly until his passing. RIP in HEAVEN my friend.
@@mikeernest1764 I saw him with Ritchie's Blackmore Rainbow in 1981 and was simply fantastic!!! A GREAT Showman, he really leads every band he was in, RIP Ronnie James Dio
@@ignaciogarcia1690 Dio was not in Rainbow in 1981 , he was in Sabbath in 1981 . I saw Rainbow in 1979 they had Graham Bonnet Dio left earlier that same year . Then saw Sabbath in 1980 in New York with Dio (black and blue)! , then I saw Dio in Dallas twice.. Hell of a singer..Probably the best.
@@kevinklampe2350 Absolutely! Dio was all class and genuinely a real nice bloke who truly cared and loved his (Sabbath"s) fans. He actually thanked ME for being a fan.
In 1980 I went to Hara Arena in Dayton Ohio and seen them on a school 🏫 night, 4 hr Concert, greattess ever, the Drummer did a 15 min Solo, that was mind bending, it was this album they was promoting, of course I bought it , came out of there with my ears ringing into the next day and HIGHER THAN THE CLOUDS JUST FROM THE SMOKE IN THAT PLACE
Tony Iommi's playing on this album is what inspired me to play guitar. His playing is so melodic and expressive, but accessable. This is still one of my all time favorite albums. R.I.P. Ronnie James Dio.
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 a 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
I remember hearing Heaven and Hell on the radio for the first time. I was staggered. Had to purchase the album immediately and did. Decided to play the whole thing to see which tunes were worthy of play. As you know ALL OF THEM ARE AMAZING... To this day I have never been more enthralled by a release from any group. H&H is a true monument of metal mastery that remains unequaled in my opinion.
I had auto-taped some FM when I was in college, played it back years later and heard Neon Knights but they never said who the band was and I didn't know. I had to dig around (before the internet) just to figure it out. I was hooked on Sabbath after that, it really started my love of metal.
My Dad always said good music never dies, these pop fart artist will never have a song or a record that still sounds fresh , this was my era of music , this records ranks as one of the greatest metal records of all time,
The guitar and vocals have captivated me since 1982 when I was 13 yrs old and it still hits me after all these years and makes me want to rock the hell out like there is no tomorrow! 🤘
Thank you dad for sharing all your music with me. It brings us together even though you’re gone. So dream for a while , at the things that make you smile. Don’t you know that I’m you’re wishing well.
thanks for the reflection, it's a pity that today's children don't want to share our music anymore, they are not interested in it, and I would love to share this joy with them ..
❤😢❤ I was introduced to Sabbath by my sister (8 yrs older) in 1979. I instantly became their biggest fan. My 2 boys cut their teeth on Sabbath. Now my grandchildren are as well. From Ozzy to Dio to Gillen to Matin and Hughes.
I'll NEVER FORGET SEEING THEM PLAY THIS ALBUM LIVE!! IN GERMANY WHILE I WAS IN THE ARMY WIESBADEN GERMANY 1980 THE LOUDEST!! SHOW IV EVER HEARD NEXT TO MOTERHEAD!! THEY SOUNDED JUST LIKE THE ALBUM I COULDN'T HEAR NOTHING!! WHEN THAT SHOW WAS OVER, PROBABLY THE BEST SHOW I'VE EVER SEEN!!🔥🔥👍✌️
Was just 14 years old when I saw them on the Heaven and Hell tour in 1980. Opened with War Pigs and then went straight into Neon Knights. One of the best gigs ever
The Best Black Sabbath line-up ever!! Ronnie Dio and Tommy Iommi acting on a heavenly level here!! This masterpiece was passed from father to son in my family and tomorrow will be mandatory for my son! Rip Ronnie 🤘your legacy will never die!
Absolutely a classic masterpiece of rock history: Dio joining Black Sabbath (after Iommi had kicked Ozzy out of the band), and recording one of the best albums ever! Hands down some of the best work from Iommi, Butler, Ward, and of course Ronnie. Had met RJD at a Blue Murder album release party years later, he was one of the coolest musicians I'd ever met! On a completely different note, I was in an auto accident right around the same time this album was released and tragically my brothers girlfriend died in the accident, the song playing at the time -"Die Young"... R.I.P. Jenny we will never forget you!
RJD was hands down the best vocalist Black Sabbath ever had. Not dissing on Ozzy or Martin, they have their own respective generations, but Dio's voice has stuck with me the most out of them all.
This is one of the greatest metal albums of all time. Its like lighting captured in a bottle. Every song is electric and honestly sounds magical. 10/10 fucking amazing
1980 - What a year for British Heavy Metal. Ace Of Spades, Wheels of Steel, Iron Maiden and Heaven and Hell. What a time to have been alive. So glad i was.
This album and it's follow-up the Mob Rules are two of the very very best albums released in the 20th century and if you're listening to this you already know this but I just wanted to go on record as having that opinion😚😙😚😅😊🤣🥲
It must’ve been scary for them. They had to deviate from Ozzy, and it really Paid off. This Album here is truly unlike any other, and it’s perfect. Ronnie and Tony knew they had to change, and they created something extraordinary.
Talk about two amazing talents finding each other at the right time. That opening one - two punch of "Neon Knights" and "Children of the Sea" is just massive! Highlighted by the soaring ecstasy of Ronnie's vocals and Tony"s thrilling solos. Pretty tough to beat
After 40 years being a Metal fan and hearing almost everything, enjoying from hard rock to extreme genres, I consider that this is the finest Metal album ever
When I first came to LA in 1980 I attended Summer Blowout concert held at the LA Coliseum during the day, Ronnie declared they were not used to playing in the light, but proceeded to burn, so powerful and surreal; my dark side was reminded there are two worlds to constantly choose from...this album was one of the few reincarnations that evolved beyond past glories.
I FOUND THIS CASSETTE AT 15..... IM NOW 53 & ITS AS FUCKING AS GOOD OR BETTER THAN THE FIRST TIME I HEARD IT. ITS IN MY TOP TEN CD"s OF ALL TIME. RONNIE TO ME WAS SABBATH.... JUST INCREDIBLE,....
I wouldn’t say masterpiece but it is pretty comparable to their earlier stuff! Ronnie James Dio is a badass!! Ozzy and Ronnie are my top two followed by Rob Halford!!
I've just seen everyone's comments, tbh I hadn't listened to this album in years. It's Amazing! And still fresh to the ears. An all-time must to any true music lover. 🎶
my older brother bought this album and I was like, "no Ozzy? it must suck!" then he played it. I was enraptured! By "Children of the Sea" I was hooked, by "Wishing Well" I was like "Ozzy who?" Every song a quality piece of pure elemental rare METAL!
I wanted to learn more about this album and I found out Ronnie was often nervous to perform infront of an audience that was used to seeing ozzy for so long, they would shout ozzys name over and over but after a while Ronnie grew on them. No natter what you think RJD was so talented and memorable, no one could sing or write songs like him. This will always be my fav album, One of the best male vocalists🙏🙏🙏
Portsmouth Guildhall 1980, fantastic gig. They brought over their lightshow from the US tour and covered the venue in a net of laser beams reflected with mirrors. In those days that was mind-boggling! It was their first tour with Ronnie, and a lot of diehard Sabs fans were baying for Ozzy at the beginning but by the end they had proved that there was life without him. It was funny because when the news broke that Ozzy had left the band I said to my friends that they should get Ronnie to sing, and hey!! I was very happy! Great album.
I am a huge Ozzy fan and would not accept this album as to me Black Sabbath was done when Ozzy was gone. It took me 10 years to finally appreciate this album and RJD. Killer album
Anthony Frank Iommi William Thomas Ward Ronald James Padavona 🎤😭 Geoffrey James Nicholls 🎹😭 Terence Joseph Michael Butler Simply Awesome This Álbum 🎵🎼🎶🎹🎤🎸💪😎👊
I bought this when I was ten from Columbia house records along with Van Halens Mean street album my ol man said sarcastically you did good Dennis he didn't understand Rock on Columbia house was a record company where you could by a handful of albums for a penny I believe to join then you had to buy more Rock on
Gosh.....it is SOOOO good to listen to this brilliant album once again after a few years...... Black Sabbath...... Godfathers of the heavy metal genre....... what a wonderful opener and the quality does not let up over the remainder of the album.....enough said!!!!
Bad Ass is an understatement. There are no words. however yes he was 1 Fuckin awesome "Bad Ass" Son of a B!tch. I met him back 87 had a backstage pass and was Speechless
I love how well you can hear the bass lines in the mix. For me, that's a rarity. Honestly sometimes the bass is almost more of a subconscious thing, it would sound different without it, but I rarely can single it out. Maybe a fill here and there, but this is a fantastic mix!
@@NoNameUwUxX I can hear Harris..sometimes. I mean the triplets are pretty obvious. Maybe it's just something that , sonically, is difficult for my ears...or brain😆
Martin Birch was the producer of this album as well as Mob Rules, and is the same guy who produced all the Iron Maiden/Steve Harris stuff. That's why the bass sounds so good :)
my absolute favorite album ..got this album when it came out in 1980 and I just turned 15 ....THE WORLD IS FULL OF KINGS AND QUEENS,THEY BLIND YOU EYES AND STEAL YOUR DREAMS ITS HEAVEN AND HELL.....
First time listening actually to all of Black Sabbath discog. So, far only liked Paranoid album, but this, with the new vocalist... I don't say this very often, but from first to the last song, I enjoyed it. Very good and enjoyable music.
Was a US Marine in 1986 and was security for Dio. Buddy of mine broke his arm pushing back enthusiastic Japanese kids in the crowd Best concert of my life. I was 19. I'm 57 now
Очень сильная группа!Люблю с 1978 года!по сей день!Оригиналы в своём стиле исполнения!Больше таких не будет!!!Огорельцев Игорь 58лет.Слушаю и рад ,что были такие музыканты высшего класса!
Well, let's say it's another incarnation of Black Sabbath. And as the split between Sabbath and Ozzy led to both this album and Blizzard of Ozz it ended as a win-win for all parts (especially us fans).

First heard this after a grueling football practice in High School and was blown away by the riff lines and blended change ups intermixed with the bass lines in Neon Knights. I bought the album a few weeks later off a fence in school who got them really cheap and wore out my turntable listening to it, it still holds up 40 years later. A very powerful and emotionally charged album. DIO will always be one of the best lead singers in the metal genre.
Thats so cool how we remember and associate these great albums with our memories and to the day ! Football practice, that's awesome. I was hanging out with a really fine girl I met after moving back to OC CA. after school. and this was playing. Good Times.
My thoughts exactly my friend
Lonely Is The Word is amazinlgy beautiful. The bassline givese chills!

Right? The solo, the ending. I wish I still smoked weed sometimes when I hear this song.
@@gailkoch-ashing9951 who needs the weed...? Take it on with all the senses alert... specially the bassline as said above.
@@cango5679 apparently he needs the weed, why are you downplaying that
Lonely is the Word is the strongest song on album, and one of Sabbath's all time greats by any lineup! Saw tours for Heaven and Hell and Mob Rules and they were phenomenal!
Iommi's work on Lonely is the Word, is some of the finest arrangement, playing and emotion in rock history.
The whole Iommi's stuff in every song of this album is just a thing of Gods.
that solo just mind blowing...
Gosh, yeah, he sounds like Alex Lifeson at some points....!!! Goose Bumps...!!!!
many guitar players immediately started imitated that sound
静と動の曲の雰囲気が上手く繋がっていて、通しで聴くとその世界観に引き込まれていきますね👍🏻
30年以上前に初めて聴いた時からその素晴らしさは変わらないです。
So cool❗️
No idea what that says but I'm going to like it anyway
I'm reading Dio's autobiography. I've loved him from the first time I heard the power of his voice.
Knowing how he just KNEW he and Tony Iommi were meant to work together the moment he heard what would become "Children of the Sea" makes this record even more special.
One of the most brilliant bass work on this album all through out! The bass player is killing it
"The bass player" lol
YEAH - He's a bit of a Geezer, all right!
That Gezzer is an inspiration to us bassist. He is the "Anti- Root Note " bass player that gives the instrument versatility.
Geezer, Steve Harris, and Lemmy with his unusual bass playing technique are the three greatest metal bassists in history......l
You know who are the bass player, don't you?
What power. Still RJD has this over my ears ! I’m 55 and it moves me like I was 15 ! God bless rock n roll & 🤘🏼🤘🏼 u Ronnie Black Sabbath & so many more musicians
Ronnie was such a legend even back in the day everyone knew he was special, it sucks I missed my chance to see the Holy Diver tour , my buddy did have a ticket and felt bad for taking off that afternoon , so right before they left for the show , he said , hey man , close yer eyes open yer mouth , normally I would have never for a second trusted him or anyone that told me to do that but on that day I thought , no way he'd punk me with a trick , but instead he stuck a little purple barrel on my tongue and said have fun , at 15 yo I had never had more fun that night , even trippin alone for the very first time it was a blast , I ran in to some other friends that didn't go to the show , I damn sure didn't tell them what I had gotten in to that night , man those were the days , metal ruled the world ..
thanks Frank .
rock 🤟
Total Legend
haha awesome story, thanks for sharing man! Dio was special indeed.

Great story Wow. I know the feeling. Good u had fun. I saw Dio Heaven and Hell tour. 1981. Toronto. I was 14. I missed a Maiden concert one day and had tickets in hand! Rock on
My name is Todd also, weird huh
I worked in airfreight. I personally went to LA to take Black Sabbath to Hawaii on the Black and Blue tour. Ronnie and I became friends..He was one of the nicest and most talented people in the music business. I helped him with DIO also. We remained friendly until his passing. RIP in HEAVEN my friend.
He's a great talent, his voice was tops. May he rest in heavy metal peace!!!
Voice of an angel. Saw him in 74 with 'ELF'.
@@mikeernest1764 I saw him with Ritchie's Blackmore Rainbow in 1981 and was simply fantastic!!! A GREAT Showman, he really leads every band he was in, RIP Ronnie James Dio
I remember of a Phrase in a forum: Please God take Justin Bieber with you and bring us back Dio!!!!
@@ignaciogarcia1690 Dio was not in Rainbow in 1981 , he was in Sabbath in 1981 . I saw Rainbow in 1979 they had Graham Bonnet Dio left earlier that same year . Then saw Sabbath in 1980 in New York with Dio (black and blue)! , then I saw Dio in Dallas twice.. Hell of a singer..Probably the best.
A Metal Masterpiece. Was lucky enough to meet Ronnie a great guy and true legend. RIP Ronnie.
Met RJD 2 X Agreed
A True Gentleman Genious
@@kevinklampe2350 Absolutely! Dio was all class and genuinely a real nice bloke who truly cared and loved his (Sabbath"s) fans. He actually thanked ME for being a fan.
This was the first record album I bought when I was a teen in the early 80s. It's great to see so many still appreciating this masterpiece.
Rock on, brother! 🤟😈
In 1980 I went to Hara Arena in Dayton Ohio and seen them on a school 🏫 night, 4 hr Concert, greattess ever, the Drummer did a 15 min Solo, that was mind bending, it was this album they was promoting, of course I bought it , came out of there with my ears ringing into the next day and HIGHER THAN THE CLOUDS JUST FROM THE SMOKE IN THAT PLACE
Saw this your in long beach, cal the outlaws opened for them. 40 years later my rars are still ringing
This is in the pinnacle of Rock music. Mid 70's thru the early 80's. What a great time for music!

Tony Iommi's playing on this album is what inspired me to play guitar. His playing is so melodic and expressive, but accessable. This is still one of my all time favorite albums. R.I.P. Ronnie James Dio.

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 a 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
I remember hearing Heaven and Hell on the radio for the first time. I was staggered. Had to purchase the album immediately and did. Decided to play the whole thing to see which tunes were worthy of play. As you know ALL OF THEM ARE AMAZING... To this day I have never been more enthralled by a release from any group. H&H is a true monument of metal mastery that remains unequaled in my opinion.
Yep
100% agree!
I had auto-taped some FM when I was in college, played it back years later and heard Neon Knights but they never said who the band was and I didn't know. I had to dig around (before the internet) just to figure it out. I was hooked on Sabbath after that, it really started my love of metal.
The Dio era stuff is criminally under-rated.
Why he is credited as one of the best vocalists and idk how he is rated as writer an composer definitely unique and awesome
I agree 100%
The whole band is underrated Geezer Butler got to be one of the best bass players I ever heard in my life
Nah . Everyone knows they are great .
How can you say this when he is widely considered to be one of the best singers of all time??
The greatest heavy metal vocalist..
Legend Dio
I will never forget
For me, he was more a hard-rock singer, not a metal singer!?
what a pointless comparison. He was a singer. Maybe he just kept playing the trumpet
Go Ronnie
@@Baldur1975 Agreed, an absolutely pointless comparison. Thank goodness he gave up that trumpet!
Could have sung opera with that voice!
My Dad always said good music never dies, these pop fart artist will never have a song or a record that still sounds fresh , this was my era of music , this records ranks as one of the greatest metal records of all time,
Who will never have a song or a record that still sounds fresh? Sabbath? Someone else? Run-on sentences should be avoided!
I would agree with your dad100% when it’s real it hits,always and every time.
@@BlaBla-pf8mf Who cares, rock is a 70s concept. Good music is good music and will never die
Very well said!! I myself can't said it better!! Black Sabbath second best formation!!! DIO forever!!!
@@bobmahler5379 you are probably a democrat.
The guitar and vocals have captivated me since 1982 when I was 13 yrs old and it still hits me after all these years and makes me want to rock the hell out like there is no tomorrow! 🤘
Listen to rainbow. Ritchie Blackmore and dio singing. Try man on the silver mountain
🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼go for it bro, never say die
I love how his voice from gentle turns into almost brutal at 4:27
It is so unexpected, like an angel becoming evil
And that transition sounds even better in live!
It's too bad we lost Ronnie so early in life. He really took the front man for Black Sabath I was lucky to went and seen them in 1980
Ronnie was a good guy for sure.
I saw both that tour & The Mob Rules.
I did too! The MOB rules tour!!
@@Am3ro5e I did both of those tours & he was spectacular both times.
Thank you dad for sharing all your music with me. It brings us together even though you’re gone.
So dream for a while , at the things that make you smile. Don’t you know that I’m you’re wishing well.
thanks for the reflection, it's a pity that today's children don't want to share our music anymore, they are not interested in it, and I would love to share this joy with them ..
❤😢❤ I was introduced to Sabbath by my sister (8 yrs older) in 1979. I instantly became their biggest fan. My 2 boys cut their teeth on Sabbath. Now my grandchildren are as well. From Ozzy to Dio to Gillen to Matin and Hughes.
God bless your Dad❤❤❤❤
Only one dream
Soo happy you appreciate that line in Wishing Well ! :) Makes me smile ;)
One of the greatest rock/metal albums ever made. Always been a massive favourite of mine. 👍🇬🇧
This music is so good. I never listened to sabbath when I was young, but now I really enjoy it, especially this album is remarkable...
Remarkable
JUST LEARN THE TRUTH, OF THE MIGHTY BLACK SABBATH. MY FRIEND.
The music is truly so good! I wouldn't say that about the vocals. I mean it's good, but I'm not into it.
@San Patricio's Space Dolphin Brigada surely he is not into it! He is deaf!
HAHAHA
Just like you say but i'm 54 and glad to have this kept aside for todays emptyness in music industry 😁
One of the best albums ever made.....by one of the best metal singers ever ...full stop.

Same here. Same experience in WPB, Fla.
One more thing...Bill and Gezzer in my opinion were the best rythm section in metal history. Definitely spotlighted here!
This is what I call a perfect album 💿,, Musically and Production wise a masterpiece 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
The Best Black Sabbath line-up ever!! Ronnie Dio and Tommy Iommi acting on a heavenly level here!! This masterpiece was passed from father to son in my family and tomorrow will be mandatory for my son!
Rip Ronnie 🤘your legacy will never die!
*TONY Iommi.
2 Italians )) two of musical genius!
@@voleraabriganov550 hes a Brummie
Absolutely a classic masterpiece of rock history: Dio joining Black Sabbath (after Iommi had kicked Ozzy out of the band), and recording one of the best albums ever! Hands down some of the best work from Iommi, Butler, Ward, and of course Ronnie. Had met RJD at a Blue Murder album release party years later, he was one of the coolest musicians I'd ever met!
On a completely different note, I was in an auto accident right around the same time this album was released and tragically my brothers girlfriend died in the accident, the song playing at the time -"Die Young"... R.I.P. Jenny we will never forget you!
Wow sorry to hear about someone dying at a young age like that. Remember in your heart and mind forever.. she lives there.
RIP.
Sorry to hear such a tragedy but Just like this album she will obviously never be forgotten. R.FOREVER.I.P.
A tip of the glass to Jenny. May she watch over us.
♥️
RJD was hands down the best vocalist Black Sabbath ever had. Not dissing on Ozzy or Martin, they have their own respective generations, but Dio's voice has stuck with me the most out of them all.
This is crown jewel of my metal albums ! Black Sabbath reach whole new level with Ronnie 💎
This is one of the greatest metal albums of all time. Its like lighting captured in a bottle. Every song is electric and honestly sounds magical. 10/10 fucking amazing
1980 - What a year for British Heavy Metal. Ace Of Spades, Wheels of Steel, Iron Maiden and Heaven and Hell. What a time to have been alive. So glad i was.
can't forget Judas Priest...
@@TheWestAnglian RIGHT ON! BRITISH STEEL
@@TheWestAnglian No you can't. They're at the top of my list
Don’t forget Back in Black by AC/DC. Epic album. I know most of them are Australian, but Brian Johnson is British..
Same here the 80s was the best years of my life so many great memories and rocking out
This album and it's follow-up the Mob Rules are two of the very very best albums released in the 20th century and if you're listening to this you already know this but I just wanted to go on record as having that opinion😚😙😚😅😊🤣🥲
It must’ve been scary for them. They had to deviate from Ozzy, and it really Paid off. This Album here is truly unlike any other, and it’s perfect. Ronnie and Tony knew they had to change, and they created something extraordinary.
What's funny is that Dio told in an interview that the audience during the shows was flipping him off when he just joined Black Sabbath.
@@Rojomanzana438 no surprise. Inevitable move to change it up though.
Yeah paid off for ozzy too cause blizzard of oz sold just as much lol
Look what acdc did . . .
This is a masterpiece album...dio I thank you... I might even get the album cover tatted on me back lol..
Talk about two amazing talents finding each other at the right time. That opening one - two punch of "Neon Knights" and "Children of the Sea" is just massive! Highlighted by the soaring ecstasy of Ronnie's vocals and Tony"s thrilling solos. Pretty tough to beat
It's unbelievable how much better this album gets with age.
timeless
Absolutely perfect from start to finish.
@@ΑναστάσιοςΠαπαζαχαρίου "Masterpiece' s Album"
After 40 years being a Metal fan and hearing almost everything, enjoying from hard rock to extreme genres, I consider that this is the finest Metal album ever
still the best metal album ever..outstanding vocal..master of bass and guitar and a monster of a drummer...all the right song...
Lonely is the word man.. one of the finest songs ever written!
Geezer MF Butler never fails to amaze. Been listening to this album for decades, and I am still amazed by his bass work.
When I first came to LA in 1980 I attended Summer Blowout concert held at the LA Coliseum during the day, Ronnie declared they were not used to playing in the light, but proceeded to burn, so powerful and surreal; my dark side was reminded there are two worlds to constantly choose from...this album was one of the few reincarnations that evolved beyond past glories.
I FOUND THIS CASSETTE AT 15.....
IM NOW 53 & ITS AS FUCKING AS GOOD OR BETTER THAN THE FIRST TIME I HEARD IT.
ITS IN MY TOP TEN CD"s OF ALL TIME.
RONNIE TO ME WAS SABBATH....
JUST INCREDIBLE,....
"Masterpiece of Black Sabbath and Masterpiece of the Heavy Metal Music"
I wouldn’t say masterpiece but it is pretty comparable to their earlier stuff! Ronnie James Dio is a badass!! Ozzy and Ronnie are my top two followed by Rob Halford!!
This album is so extraordinary, which it feels like a greatest hits or a best of. Masterpiece!
I agree
YES
Absolutely my friend!!!
Completely agreed. So many power has Dio's voice, fantastic music
⁰Q
One of the greatest albums in HISTORY
I've just seen everyone's comments, tbh I hadn't listened to this album in years. It's Amazing! And still fresh to the ears. An all-time must to any true music lover. 🎶
Tony said that Ronnie really pushed him to ay more, and it shows. I'm really impressed by his solos on this album.
He plays with a LOT more confidence and experimentalism in his ability
my older brother bought this album and I was like, "no Ozzy? it must suck!" then he played it. I was enraptured! By "Children of the Sea" I was hooked, by "Wishing Well" I was like "Ozzy who?" Every song a quality piece of pure elemental rare METAL!
That's why Ozzy worked so hard on Blizzard.
I wanted to learn more about this album and I found out Ronnie was often nervous to perform infront of an audience that was used to seeing ozzy for so long, they would shout ozzys name over and over but after a while Ronnie grew on them. No natter what you think RJD was so talented and memorable, no one could sing or write songs like him. This will always be my fav album, One of the best male vocalists🙏🙏🙏
Portsmouth Guildhall 1980, fantastic gig. They brought over their lightshow from the US tour and covered the venue in a net of laser beams reflected with mirrors. In those days that was mind-boggling! It was their first tour with Ronnie, and a lot of diehard Sabs fans were baying for Ozzy at the beginning but by the end they had proved that there was life without him. It was funny because when the news broke that Ozzy had left the band I said to my friends that they should get Ronnie to sing, and hey!! I was very happy! Great album.
I forgot how good this album was. These tunes have been in my head since the release date. Rock on Ronnie.
I am a huge Ozzy fan and would not accept this album as to me Black Sabbath was done when Ozzy was gone. It took me 10 years to finally appreciate this album and RJD. Killer album
Black Sabbath and Ronnie James Dio were Great together. I love this album.
We all here does...Ronnie vocals are incredible...and the band worth no less!!! A masterpiece!

Bad Ass is an understatement. There are no words. however yes he was 1 Fuckin awesome "Bad Ass" Son of a B!tch. I met him back 87 had a backstage pass and was Speechless
The Man is no mere mortal.....the Ozzy comparison is not fair
ozzy? jajjajajajaja clown
This album is a masterpiece. Listened to it thousands of times but noticed Geezer’s bass lines are busy. Holy crap! 😳
I love how well you can hear the bass lines in the mix. For me, that's a rarity. Honestly sometimes the bass is almost more of a subconscious thing, it would sound different without it, but I rarely can single it out. Maybe a fill here and there, but this is a fantastic mix!
For me it's not rare, Steve Harris always makes sure that we hear the bass lines.
@@NoNameUwUxX I can hear Harris..sometimes. I mean the triplets are pretty obvious. Maybe it's just something that , sonically, is difficult for my ears...or brain😆
@@SonicVR12 use headphones
@@ralfkirsten124 I try to when I can, unfortunately headphones aren't always conducive to the circumstances. But great advice👍
Martin Birch was the producer of this album as well as Mob Rules, and is the same guy who produced all the Iron Maiden/Steve Harris stuff. That's why the bass sounds so good :)
