Thanks for this one, never heard it before! If you wanna dive into some Iron Maiden again check out Fear of the Dark. I'm sure Alex has heard it based on the last Iron Maiden vid you guys made. Enjoy the weekend
You guys need to react to the song “Hot Line” from the Sabbath album Born Again. This has Ian Gillan from Deep Purple on vocals. This is probably Sabbaths heaviest and dirtiest sounding album. It’s a good album.
I love it at the beginning of dye young where he says Unng! (Spelling?) right before he starts the lyrics. Not sure how you would even spell that, but if you listen you know what I mean. The other is Lady Evil, and I don't even have to mention Children of the Sea.
MrAitraining The best version is from Heaven and Hell rather than Black Sabbath. Sucks they couldn't use the BS name and that's Sharron's fault (Greedy PiG). She's also at fault for not allowing RJD to be part of Sabbath's R&R Hall of Shame induction. How much money and fame do people need?
I was in high school when this came out. It came out in the spring of 1980, and I was so PISSED that Ozzy wasn’t in the band anymore... I wanted to hate this album!! I remember their “new” singer Dio from Rainbow and couldn’t imagine him in Sabbath... I’m a die hard Sabbath fan and this is one of their best albums!!! It STILL sends shivers in me when I listen to it.. Later, I remember right after school started in September of 1980, Ozzy released his “solo” album with, as I remember, the two guys from Uriah Heep, Bob Daisley and Lee Kerslake... and the rest is history. I thank God I grew up when I did... (Back then we stood in line at the record store to buy newly released albums) lol
@@AssMonkeyGaming , hey man. That's fair. A lot of it comes down to personal preference. But by any measurable vocal standards, Dio was a superior vocalist. Ozzy himself even admits that. It's a shame that you don't like him. As a person, Dio is famous for being very kind and appreciative of the fans. Every single fan interaction that I have seen about Dio has been a good one. Admittedly, I never personally had a chance to meet him before his passing. I know that from a popularity standpoint, more people like Ozzy than Dio. That's ok with me. I like Ozzy too. But Dio was just far more talented.
In 1980 i was in High School when Ronny took over for Ozzy in Black Sabbath and Brian took over for Bon in AC/DC and Bonzo died leading Led Zepplin to disband then Ozzy found Randy. The time Heaven and Hell album came out Rock and Roll was spinning like a Tornado.
I think Dio gave Sabbath a broader musical range, I saw them live a number of times during his short stint and they were incredible, one night we hung out after a gig at Newcastle on a freezing cold winter night, after about an hour and a half there was about 12 idiots freezing their balls off outside the stage door, next the doors open Dio pops his head out and says "Come on in guys," we got to spend about an hour with him and Iommi, they were both very generous and I got Dio's signature on the inner lining of my motorbike jacket.
I was 15 when this album came out, loved it! another great track from this album: Children of the Sea, or alternatively if you want more hard rock then: Neon Knights
When you ask which era of Black Sabbath i like the most, Dio or Ozzy, is like asking parents which of their child they like or prefer the most! In this case, to me.
Love your channel it’s fun to see people hearing music I have listened to all my life. I am a Maiden girl but I absolutely love Dio his voice is heaven. Just listen to Dio and Ozzy everyday and you will stay sane. I also have to agree with some of the other comments you need to explore some more Rainbow.
Just stumbled over. This is a great channel. What a kickass song, too...Dio was my first concert in 1985 when I was in 8th grade. His tenure with Black Sabbath is beyond fantastic. Bless you. You just sneezed. When you get the chance watch the live footage from this tour and the album Live Evil. RJD is a legend.
you are very musically savvy. Geezer Butler did not write the bass line for this song. It was Dio who did. Kudos to you for catching on in the difference in the playing.
Bought this the day it came out, i knew it was gonna be great because i was already a fan of Ronnie's from his stint with Rainbow... A new era dawned for Sabbath when this was released.
I too love both eras! My buddies older sister had Master Of Reality when we were 10 in '77 and we played the crap out of that 8-track! It was my first introduction to metal. Dio became my favorite of the first two, pretty quick, as I was really getting into metal when H&H first came out. I think H&H really ushered in the more '80's style of Heavy Metal for Black Sabbath!
I still remember the day my dad brought home "The best of Black Sabbath" CD, I quickly ran upstairs and popped it into my CD-player. It was instant eargasm. I couldn't listen to anything else for months lol. It was like every song was made for me. Thanks for reminding me of this great memory :) Keep doing what you do!
“Sabotage” was a down to basics album. Sabbath at their best !! “Sabbath Bloody Sabbath” is Ozzy’s best vocal sound, but very much a studio album. Tons of overdubs and keyboards and stuff... I prefer “Sabotage”
Black Sabbath's sound started to change even before Dio replaced Ozzy. I would suggest listening to the songs All Moving Parts Stand Still and You Won't Change Me from the album Technical Ecstasy and Johnny Blade and Juniors Eyes from the album Never Say Die.
Guys, check out the Tony Martin era of Sabbath. Headless Cross. He brings another twist to Sabbath. We saw the headless Cross tour in London years ago. 5 rows from front, center stage. I caught Tony Martin's sweaty towel after the show!! No I didn't keep it!!!! Couldn't hear properly for 3 days after the show. Awesome. I've still got the tour shirt.
I came to this channel because I saw young people who were really interested in music from my youth and I was curious about your 'verdict' on that music. Whatever ban Dio was in, he influenced them quite strongly. Text because more interesting and the song became better because of that and much more because of his wonderfull strong voice. Have a listen to Rainbow albums with and without him.
Love love love Sabbath with both dio and ozzy! But my favorite song of all time and has been since i was a kid is off the first rainbow album, Temple of the King. Loved Dio with both bands. Ozzy rates right up there in the beginning of solo career with songs like diary of a madman and mr. Crowly. Songs he did with sabbath like meglamania and hand of doom show not only his skill as a vocalist but as a lyrisist. Very profound in his writing contradicting his over the top persona. Happy to see you recognising the genious of this era of music.
“Geezer was dealing with a lot of serious issues at the time,” reveals the master guitarist. “And we didn’t know whether he’d be in the right frame to record the album. In fact, Ronnie played bass when Geezer flew back to England to finalise his divorce." . It makes me wonder whether Geezer played bass on this track. The bass was quite a bit different when I saw them on tour and on the Live Evil album. It sounded a lot more Geezerish.
There is a song on the album after this (Mob Rules) that may be the best album closer I have ever heard. It's called "Over and Over" and it is an EPIC...
Ok, here is my story of the day I bought this album, one of my favorite of all time. I brought this album and Van Halen's Women and Children First home and put the Van Halen album on first, its the one with Everybody Wants Some. It was an OK album, the first Van Halen I had ever bought and it was just OK. I knew I was saving the best for last. I had cranked up the volume on my system for the first album, and maybe I turned it up Just a little for Black Sabbath. I had no idea what was about to happen. The first song on the album, Neon Knights came on and I jumped up because my walls were literally shaking and my speakers were about to explode as I quickly turned the volume back down. I'll never forget that, and if you've never heard Neon Knights before, do that, and try to remember the fool who had his volume all the up when that song almost blew his speakers.
Hey Guys, great choice. Dio isnt just an awesome singer, he is also a Performer. You should watch him Live. My personal Fave is VooDoo, then but the whole album is great. Im a fan of amazing music, so the choice between Ozzy and Dio..... is I love Black Sabbath.
Saw them on this tour. 1980, Black & Blue Tour, alternating headliners with Blue Oyster Cult. Sabbath headlined the night I saw them at Memorial Stadium in Seattle, in the shadow of the Space Needle. It was so loud, they forbade concerts in that stadium for years until they finally let Billy Joel play there in the early 90s. ha ha haaa That was my 2nd concert. Riot opened the show, followed by Molly Hatchet, then BOC, then the Sabbs. What an awesome day. I was 16, me and my parents were on vacay visiting family, and I was PO'd I was gonna miss BOC when they came through my town that summer. HA HA HAAAAA Had the awesome one-up on my hometown buds when I got back!! I still have the t-shirt I got at that show. It's threadbare as hell. Black with white 3/4 sleeves (like a good concert shirt should be), the front featured Satan and Godzilla battling it out with the words "HEAVY METAL ROCK" across the top. HELLS YEAH. The back pronounced the show "Summer Jam '80" and listed the bands and the two stops with dates this particular incarnation made: Salem, OR and Seattle, WA. Over time, somehow magically, the name Salem and the date faded, but the Seattle date remained. Both times I saw them was in the Dio era. Never saw them with Ozzy, though did see Ozzy solo in '84. Motley Crue opened for the Ozzman.
This Whole Album KICKs Assssss ! Every song is Good ! 3 songs can be considered All time Great songs - Neon Knights , Die Young , & this one Heaven & Hell . Ozzy is Black Sabbath, , but Dio was a Great replacement - Singer , & Songwriter !!! R.I.P. Ronnie 🙏
Goddamit guys... I'm on a binge on this channel now! Holy Dio man ... of course! Play anything from albums "Heaven and Hell" or "Mob Rules" please... songs like "Die Young" or "Falling of the Edge of the World" !! Thanks dudes... amazing re-living this through your reactions and comments 🤟🤟
I am 58 yrs old Love to see you young guys getting into this.I was 18 when sabbath booted Ozzy. We as guys were all disappointed. Then this Came out Holy shit ! Then the Ozzy Blizzard and on on and on . Do" Light in the black" Off Rainbow Rising. With Ronnie Dio It's awesome. Both Era's are very good but in different ways. In my humble opinion.
Dio Rocks! And personally I prefer Sabbath with him. At 50, I still listen to this album at least 3 times a week. “The Mob Rules” is another favorite. Both albums are worth deep reflection, and a lifetime of enjoyment.
What a song and what an album ! First album with Dio and one of the greatest albums ever ! Interesting like AC/DC with Back in Black another greatest albums but first with a new singer and nobody thought they could move on and BOOM the both did !
"The world is full of kings and queens who blind your eyes and steal your dreams - it's heaven and hell" Used this as favorite quote in my high school yearbook. I graduated the year this album came out.
HEY GUYS! How did I instinctively know the first word out of both of your mouths was gonna be, "DUDE?!" Pretty fuckin impressive little tune, huh? I can tell you both like the unexpected little Iommi surprises that happen during their songs. That is why you must hear SYMPTOM OF THE UNIVERSE off of side A of SABOTAGE.
Lemme just tell you: when it comes to this album and the next, mob rules: Dio had a huge influence. He's a brilliant song-writer and musician. His voice is just divine , if you ask me.
check out black sabbath with Ian gillian on vocals...another great vocalist...for the younger generation who don't know he sang for deep purple. ..hits include " smoke on the water & highway star" check it out, .. Black Sabbath- Born Again
Hahahah, Ian Gillan hated that album so much he threw up when he heard it the first time, then threw his 25 advance copies out of a hotel window. The emotion you hear in some of the songs is "how the hell do I get outta here" no joke but funny nevertheless.
the Live Evil album with Heaven and Hell really blew my mind and hoocked me forever to heavy metal, back in 1982! And it's still one of my favorite songs.
Great work guys how you analyzed the track. Definitely, this is grandmaster Dio! God bless his soul! Everything he ever did was just perfect! I feel blessed to have seen him perform live! Heaven & Hell is just that perhaps the greatest he ever recorded!
Will forever prefer the Ozzy years, especially the first six albums, but the Dio years were indeed epic in their own right. Great groove, voice - still had it all!! HIGHLY recommend a couple 'later' Ozzy Sabbath tunes - first is 'Hole In The Sky' from Sabotage, second is 'Sabra Cadabra' from Sabbath Bloody Sabbath. Two incredibly rocking tracks! LOVED this reaction - the whole Heaven & Hell album is fantastic.
It’s been a while since we checked out another Sabbath track! It was time!!! Hope you guys enjoyed the video, have a great weekend friends!! 😁😁🔥🤟🏻
Thanks for this one, never heard it before!
If you wanna dive into some Iron Maiden again check out Fear of the Dark. I'm sure Alex has heard it based on the last Iron Maiden vid you guys made. Enjoy the weekend

”Disturbing the Priest” might be a surprising choice for them. ”Born Again” and ”Zero the Hero” are great tracks too.
A National Acrobat I agree with that. Any song off that album will be good for them to listen too.
The whole Heaven and Hell album is diamond. One most under rated song on it is Die Young, which I recommend heavily to check out!
Absolutely true man!
@Jake Fry me too
Headless Cross and Cross Purposes were the most underrated albums for many years, thankfully that's changing.
One of their BEST songs !!! Agree 100%
I love it at the beginning of dye young where he says Unng! (Spelling?) right before he starts the lyrics. Not sure how you would even spell that, but if you listen you know what I mean. The other is Lady Evil, and I don't even have to mention Children of the Sea.
I wanted this to be my wedding song..She said NO WAY so we never got married thank you Sabbath :o)
:))) this is a very good wedding song...good luck :)))
Hoho, you made my day!!
Save it for your funeral then. ;)
@@henrikg1388 good point...
I hope the likes stay at 69!
Try falling off the edge of the world from the mob rules album, it will blow your mind, Dio at his finest!
Live version
Love falling off the edge of the world! Not live. Too risky with what's out there. Do the studio cut.
The whole of Mob Rules is amazing. My favourite Sabbath album.
MrAitraining The best version is from Heaven and Hell rather than Black Sabbath. Sucks they couldn't use the BS name and that's Sharron's fault (Greedy PiG). She's also at fault for not allowing RJD to be part of Sabbath's R&R Hall of Shame induction. How much money and fame do people need?

(Back then we stood in line at the record store to buy newly released albums) lol
Tony Iommi said that his songwriting options really opened with Dio's range as opposed to Ozzy. Different but equal is how I look at it.
I think Steve Harris also said the same thing about Bruce Dickinson.
@@TheKestevon Lol I was gonna comment the same thing.
sec2112 Quite simply, Dio was better than Ozzy. That is all.
@@josephbarr1659 i don't like Dio

Oh yeah the golden age of metal. And Judas Priest put out British steel.
@Theresa P that’s great. Not the throwing up part. Lol. But the marriage.
Again -- your lives will never be the same. Do the WHOLE ALBUM -- it's MAGNIFICENT!!!
Pay particular attention to Neon Knights, Children of the Sea, Die Young, and Lonely Is the Word.
@@BlitherVids Wishing Well, Lady Evil and Walk Away are strong too. Oh wait.. that's the whole album isn't it. LOL
I agree. It could be their best album. Sorry Ozzy!
Mob Rules is fantastic too. Turn up the Night and Sign of the Southern Cross are among my top Sabbath songs.
I agree completely
Dio said that these were the best lyrics he ever wrote.
Oh and you know, I came to this channel because of Black Sabbath too 🤘
A good song to try from Sabbath Bloody Sabbath would be this one: ruclips.net/video/gozCnbfY-xM/видео.html

That is the most amazing thing i have heard my entire life dude that is so Uber cool.
simgorm, good Gawd, man!! You basically lived every Sabbath fan’s DREAM!!!
Did had a reputation for being very gracious to fans. God what a loss! Rest In Peace RJD!
Damned autocorrect! Did not Did!
Dio!
Dio is one of the greatest of all time. I love anything he has ever done. CHECK OUT HIS RAINBOW YEARS
@Shubbit the fubbick ubbip!!! I know all about ELF. Nevermore is my favorite
I know it's a bit cliche, but I absolutely love The Man On The Silver Mountain and Stargazer
I was 15 when this album came out, loved it!
another great track from this album: Children of the Sea,
or alternatively if you want more hard rock then: Neon Knights
watchtheskies Neon Nights.. kick ass!
“Children of the Sea” would be a great first time video.
I totally agree.
YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!! My fav Dio era song!!!!
That riff mixed with Ronnie's voice
Its ear o gazmic
Shit man it's fucking Ronnie James Dio, the late great Dio.
When you ask which era of Black Sabbath i like the most, Dio or Ozzy, is like asking parents which of their child they like or prefer the most!
In this case, to me.
Falling off the Edge of the World is my favorite Dio era Sabbath song. I highly suggest you check it out.
One of the best Dio era Sabbath song for sure. Over and Over is awesome as well.
Falling off the edge of the world has one of my all time fav riffs. Just a great build in that track.
Love your channel it’s fun to see people hearing music I have listened to all my life. I am a Maiden girl but I absolutely love Dio his voice is heaven. Just listen to Dio and Ozzy everyday and you will stay sane. I also have to agree with some of the other comments you need to explore some more Rainbow.
Woohoo finally some Sabbath! 🤘🏻Thanks guys this made my day. Still have many amazing sabbath tracks to hear, can’t wait to see the next one. 😁
Just stumbled over. This is a great channel. What a kickass song, too...Dio was my first concert in 1985 when I was in 8th grade. His tenure with Black Sabbath is beyond fantastic. Bless you. You just sneezed. When you get the chance watch the live footage from this tour and the album Live Evil. RJD is a legend.
This was a great year for albums -Blizzard of Ozz, British Steel , Back in Black!
Neon Knights is even better. Trust me dudes. I wore out the vinyl on this LP.
Your right but Neon Knights is way better!
Even better is a bold statement...But I like your enthusiasm.
I've listened to Neon Kinghts hundreds maybe a thousand times and it always sounds amazing, almost like hearing it the first time.
@@NeonNights80 Greg, I feel the same.
Has Andy and Alex reacted to Neon Nights? If not they should. They haven't done any Black Sabbath in a very long time.
if you want RAW Black Sabbath .......
The Sign of the Southern Cross
They are both great in their own way. It is nice having two different versions to listen to depending on your mood.
Thanks, I commented for heaven and hell. I appreciate it and keep up the good work
you are very musically savvy. Geezer Butler did not write the bass line for this song. It was Dio who did. Kudos to you for catching on in the difference in the playing.
One of the gold standards of metal, just perfect.
Bought this the day it came out, i knew it was gonna be great because i was already a fan of Ronnie's from his stint with Rainbow... A new era dawned for Sabbath when this was released.
One of the few genuine masterpieces of heavy rock. EVERYTHING came together perfectly in the tune. Genius.
I ADORE both of you facial expressions... Kudos for doing a reaction vid for possibly the greatest ever metal tune!
Both eras are good, but you have to love Ozzy and the original line-up. They started something.
Plus Glenn Hughes, Ray Gillen, Tony Martin, Ian Gillan and Jeff Fenholt all of whom were excellent in their own way.
I disagree. They didnt start something. They started fucking heavy metal
They Started It All ( The Original 4; Ozzy, Toni, Bill& Geezer) BLACK SABBATH!!!!
I too love both eras! My buddies older sister had Master Of Reality when we were 10 in '77 and we played the crap out of that 8-track! It was my first introduction to metal. Dio became my favorite of the first two, pretty quick, as I was really getting into metal when H&H first came out. I think H&H really ushered in the more '80's style of Heavy Metal for Black Sabbath!
Black Sabbath The Mob Rules is well worth checking out. My favorite Dio led track.
Mob rules, another great album. RJD didn't make bad albums

I couldn't listen to anything else for months lol. It was like every song was made for me. Thanks for reminding me of this great memory :) Keep doing what you do!
God damn i love this album!
Btw, i love both eras of Sabbath!
So pissed off that you never checked out the Sabbath Bloody Sabbath album. But hey there’s still time for that.
Yes. Then Sabotage! On "Sabbath Bloody Sabbath" you'll hear the start of these changes. Maturity.
Sabatage
“Sabotage” was a down to basics album. Sabbath at their best !! “Sabbath Bloody Sabbath” is Ozzy’s best vocal sound, but very much a studio album. Tons of overdubs and keyboards and stuff... I prefer “Sabotage”
Black Sabbath's sound started to change even before Dio replaced Ozzy. I would suggest listening to the songs All Moving Parts Stand Still and You Won't Change Me from the album Technical Ecstasy and Johnny Blade and Juniors Eyes from the album Never Say Die.
I absolutely love that little outro on this song 😌
Your on the way lads
Your gonna look back at this In years to come and laugh.
Guys, check out the Tony Martin era of Sabbath. Headless Cross. He brings another twist to Sabbath. We saw the headless Cross tour in London years ago. 5 rows from front, center stage. I caught Tony Martin's sweaty towel after the show!! No I didn't keep it!!!! Couldn't hear properly for 3 days after the show. Awesome. I've still got the tour shirt.
The people love Sabbath! can't disagree
Good stuff guys. This album was my first exposure to Sabbath. I went backwards from there, but this still remains my favorite Sabbath album.

I can't help it, but to me Ronnie James Dio was the best rock singer ever...
You are not alone my friend
No one can touch Dio. He had such a unique and powerful timbre. His music is phenomenal.
Thats a given
Hard to argue with that. We used to say the top 3 were Halford,Bruce Dickerson,and Dio.
Ok, here is my story of the day I bought this album, one of my favorite of all time. I brought this album and Van Halen's Women and Children First home and put the Van Halen album on first, its the one with Everybody Wants Some.

Yes do the whole album. you will not be disappointed !
I was at both the Heaven and Hell and Mob Rules tour concert in the 80's. Still two of the best concerts ever!!!
This Whole Album KICKs Assssss ! Every song is Good ! 3 songs can be considered All time Great songs - Neon Knights , Die Young , & this one Heaven & Hell . Ozzy is Black Sabbath, , but Dio was a Great replacement - Singer , & Songwriter !!! R.I.P. Ronnie 🙏
Saw this tour. It was billed as the Black And Blue tour. Black Sabbath and Blue Oyster Cult. Great show!
So glad to see you guys appreciate great music! I'm older than you guys, and great to see you guys enjoy some of the masters!
Thank You for that. Just got home from work. Perfect Song. 🚬🍻😁
Do Falling off the Edge of the World, it’s on the Mob Rules album and another classic from the Dio era
I love this whole album, no weak tracks, all awesome.the following album Mob Rules is pretty damn good too and anything from the Tony Martin era.
Goddamit guys... I'm on a binge on this channel now! Holy Dio man ... of course! Play anything from albums "Heaven and Hell" or "Mob Rules" please... songs like "Die Young" or "Falling of the Edge of the World" !! Thanks dudes... amazing re-living this through your reactions and comments 🤟🤟

Black Sabbath Children of the Sea, someone else mentioned. Got to do it. My favorite Dio era track. This is close 2nd though.
Also really like Wishing Well
This whole album kicks ass! The tour kicked ass!! ☮️
OzzY!!! But yea,... Mob rules for Dio Sabbath. Good as it gets. E5150 into Mob Rules. As classic awesomeness as it gets.
Malamute you nailed it with E5150/Mob Rules....good good stuff!
Dio Rocks! And personally I prefer Sabbath with him. At 50, I still listen to this album at least 3 times a week. “The Mob Rules” is another favorite. Both albums are worth deep reflection, and a lifetime of enjoyment.
Awesome tune - I remember seeing this song live on their Born Again tour in '83!
Geezers bass is so technical & pure bliss. the whole band is functioning at highest of skills on this track. Perfection
Sabbath had the perfect balance of in your face and subtle atmospheric nuances.
Want more powerful Dio-era Sabbath, try E5150/Mob Rules and Sign of the Southern Cross.
I second Mob rules
Yes! Mob Rules!
What a song and what an album ! First album with Dio and one of the greatest albums ever ! Interesting like AC/DC with Back in Black another greatest albums but first with a new singer and nobody thought they could move on and BOOM the both did !
Dude..this album kicks ass..every single song 🤘
"The world is full of kings and queens who blind your eyes and steal your dreams - it's heaven and hell" Used this as favorite quote in my high school yearbook. I graduated the year this album came out.
I LOVE this song! So good!
Love these old Sabbath tunes
HEY GUYS! How did I instinctively know the first word out of both of your mouths was gonna be, "DUDE?!" Pretty fuckin impressive little tune, huh? I can tell you both like the unexpected little Iommi surprises that happen during their songs. That is why you must hear SYMPTOM OF THE UNIVERSE off of side A of SABOTAGE.
I have listened to the Heaven and Hell album thousands of times and neve got bored of it. Both eras were so different but both so good.
Do Dio era Sign of the Southern Cross! Favorite Sabbath song for me
Every song on this record is a diamond
Im glad you guys liked Black Sabbath, Excellent review...
Lemme just tell you: when it comes to this album and the next, mob rules: Dio had a huge influence. He's a brilliant song-writer and musician. His voice is just divine , if you ask me.
Their use of the pentatonic scale is so awesome!
The facials from the lads are priceless! ROCK ON BROTHERS! 🤘🤘🤘🤘
check out black sabbath with Ian gillian on vocals...another great vocalist...for the younger generation who don't know he sang for deep purple. ..hits include " smoke on the water & highway star"
check it out, ..
Black Sabbath- Born Again
Yeah. Check out Highway Star!
Hahahah, Ian Gillan hated that album so much he threw up when he heard it the first time, then threw his 25 advance copies out of a hotel window. The emotion you hear in some of the songs is "how the hell do I get outta here" no joke but funny nevertheless.
the Live Evil album with Heaven and Hell really blew my mind and hoocked me forever to heavy metal, back in 1982! And it's still one of my favorite songs.
I got a first run copy of the album. Bought it the first week it was released. Wish i had a dollar for everytime ive heard the album
Tony Iommi was once asked how do you and Ronnie James Dio write songs? He said we meet halfway
Great work guys how you analyzed the track. Definitely, this is grandmaster Dio! God bless his soul! Everything he ever did was just perfect! I feel blessed to have seen him perform live! Heaven & Hell is just that perhaps the greatest he ever recorded!
One of my fave albums EVER' period!! 🤟👌
Both Ozzy and DIO eras great in their own right. I also love a few tracks from Ian Gillan eras BORN AGAIN (Deep Purple vocalist)
Love how your eyes roll back to the guitar solo. 🤤🤯 Same.
De Humanizer is another under rated B.Sabbath with dio singing....Love the song I,I,I
How can you not know this song? Just how?!
Absolute fire!
Bless you! ☮️
I love all Tony's phrasing on this album. Not just the solos, but all the fills between the vocal lines. Bass lines are great on this album too.
So good to hear this again. Solid heavy metal at its very best.
I love to see the music through young eyes and how you react. And yes, there was a new depth to Sabbath when Dio joined.
Will forever prefer the Ozzy years, especially the first six albums, but the Dio years were indeed epic in their own right. Great groove, voice - still had it all!!
HIGHLY recommend a couple 'later' Ozzy Sabbath tunes - first is 'Hole In The Sky' from Sabotage, second is 'Sabra Cadabra' from Sabbath Bloody Sabbath. Two incredibly rocking tracks!
LOVED this reaction - the whole Heaven & Hell album is fantastic.
This is a milestone !!!!
You got it!! Excellent job 😊😊😊
Dio and Ozzy two different things both awesome. Heaven and Hell 10/10 all the way.
The Dio years...solid! Such a great album.
