Ozzy and dio each had their own styles and both brought it. I love both eras.

The world is full of kings and queens Who blind your eyes and steal your dreams .....Timeless Lyrics

One of the greatest albums ever made!!!!

RIP Dio. He's a legend.

Ronnie james dio is one of the best sing and song of all time and man what a awesome voice he had. it's terrible that he's not here. we all miss him rip dio🙏💝

The little man with the BIG voice. Gone but never forgotten 🤘

This has the best opening lyrics of any song I have heard.."Sing me a song,you're a singer..do me a wrong you're a bringer of evil" Just love it.

Greatest metal singer ever!!! I'll give you my Dio story. I "actually" was lucky enough to meet him a few times.The first time was in 1993 when he was in Sabbath for the 2nd time. There was only a few of us standing outside. he said Hello and singed what ever we had. It was cool. It was a theater sized show, so it was just at the start of the hard times for metal. 2nd time I met him It was 2 years later (Strange highways tour, one of my favorite albums from him) There were quite a few of us in outside at a larger club maybe 1/3 capacity of a theater (this gut sold out arenas in the 80s). He set up in one of the empty trailers with a table and chair and let every on in a few at a time and singed everyone stuff.I was the last to get in and get an autograph, Dio looks at me and says "Ah, your truly the last in line". That always will be a fond memory. i met him one more time at the same club on the next tour. Thia time he just stood outside with us he spent a half hour talking to us and singing autographs. Even at the lowest point in his career he was humble nice and as always good to his fans.

Stargazer-Rainbow (Dio vocals)

Dio - Rainbow in the dark

In the history of Metal, It's the most beautiful song ever written. RIP. RONNIE.

DIE YOUNG... Dio's vocals on this one work like a powerful force...please review🙏🙏

now THATS a real true heavy metal classic!

im glad I grew up with hard rock and heavy metal

Love to hear your conversations. Please, don't stop ;)

Iron Maiden - Seventh Son Of a Seventh Son.

The charity in Dio's name is a cancer foundation as he died from cancer. I absolutely love this track, the album is stunning also. Ronnie did not believe in heaven nor hell, he said in an interview that he believes that heaven and hell is here on earth, saying that we effectively make our own heaven and we make our own hell. Which as an atheist I like, it is an interesting perspective and way of looking at life.

I love the outro so much, hauntingly brilliant.

Heaven and Hell is easily my favorite Sabbath album. Every song is great. Not only did Dio bring phenomenal lyrics and a powerful voice to Sabbath he also brought amazing harmonies. Geezer Butler really shines on this album too. Try Die Young or children of the sea to more understand truly how amazing this album is.

Black Sabbath with Ronnie James Dio...I am ready for this one...I predict you will like Dio. Ronnie is the ultimate metal singer. On top of that Dio was the best to the fans...always had time for them, always made the fans feel special. His death was a big loss to the metal community. It is okay to say Ronnie is brilliant...he is widely regarded as one of the (if not the best) technically great metal singers.

Stargazer by Rainbow needs to be done, that would be Dio's best vocal performance

So happy you guys did this song! It's been one of my favorites of all time for about 12 years now. I listen to it every now and then on a regular basis and I think I'll keep listening to it for the rest of my life.

Thanks again for doing this one! Still amazing every time I've heard it since about 1982..... rock on!

Black Sabbath - Children of the Grave

Im a sucker for any song that has the bass take such a prominent role, now add in a voice like Ronnie James and im sold.

One of my favorite reactions you guys have done. Amazing song. One of the top metal songs all time for me and a definite 10 out of 10. I remember reading a interview with Ronnie at one point where he talked about the meaning of the whole bit about the "Dancer" but I can't recall what the deal was. Dio was incredible live. A man small in stature but positively massive in voice. I saw him at an incredible live so in the DC area with Maiden and Motorhead. One hell of a lineup to be sure. Even as Dio was slowly and probably painfully dying of cancer the dude never stopped taking time to meet with his fans. He had a reputation for being of the sweetest guys in metal. He is sorely, sorely missed. Also a big thanks to you and Underground Metal Elitist for making me finally decide to start doing reactions/breakdowns of my own. My first one went up today. I don't think I would have done it if not for you guys so huge thanks!

again love you two and i always appreciate your comments and breakdown glad you reviewed one of my old favourites

Good discussion around the “giver” and “taker” line in this song. The Beatles summed it up well with their line “and in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make”

Speaking of Ronnie James Dio i suggest Rainbow - Stargazer

This is literally a perfect song!

the Lyrics, oh sweet jesus the lyrics, well written music is such a pleasure to listen too.

Ozzy voclas fit better with his black sabbath, dio fit better with his black sabbath. Both great.

Megadeth - Good Mourning Black Friday Megadeth - Looking Down The Cross

Nice job you two! Really enjoyed your take on this Black Sabbath classic.

Love the discussion afterward. The search for answers is always better when it can include others.

Dio's vocals are a delight to listen to in two ways. The range of the notes his voice can reach is amazing on its own. On the other hand (and that is what like the most), his voice changes colors throughout his songs in such ways, it's like listening to a story your granfather tells you. He delivers drama. One of the reasons that make him such a good performer and why people love him (RIP... try Stargazer from Rainbow)

Ozzy with Sabbath is iconic, but....I TOTALLY prefer Dio with Sabbath.

I loved the fireside. I was there for the whole thing! It was a great discussion.

lol, yeah he does blow ozzy away, but he blows everyone away so it's ok...

Well now that you’ve done this. You absolutely have to do the song “Stargazer” by Rainbow. It’s another band that dio was in and it’s a phenomenal song!

Ronnie james dio invented the \m/ hand sign for metal heads !

Yessssssss! Been waiting for this.

I like you guys. Listening to you analyzing all these songs that I grew up with is totes entertaining.

Black Sabbath - Symptom of the Universe Iron Maiden - Powerslave

Another fantastic choice! You guys are on a roll!!

You two are doing what we always wished for !

Loved the analysis. I've been listening to this for years but never thought to stop and think about what it might mean. Just liked the noises :)

"You've got to bleed for the dancer", is in reference to an earlier line, "love can be seen as the answer, but nobody bleeds for the dancer". Basically I always heard it as some people will preach love, but as soon as it becomes difficult on them, they'll abandon all sense of "morality". They only care about others, in-so-much-as it doesn't take away from what they have.

Really love this song. Ronnie had his own style and sang mostly about magic, dragons and the youth. He gave so much and he had a charity to help out runaways in LA. I think his wife started a charity for research for stomach cancer which is what ultimately killed him. His voice is just magical. I never realized how his death was going to affect me until he's gone. I never got to see him sing live, but now I'm making sure to see my heroes live before its too late.

Listening to this song in 2020. You guys got the message and we are seeing heaven and hell unfold

I love how they are truly listening 👏Until the end!

+Vinand Sori Ronald James Padavona (July 10, 1942 - May 16, 2010), known professionally as Ronnie James Dio or simply Dio, was an American singer, songwriter, and musician. He fronted and/or founded numerous groups including Elf, Rainbow, Black Sabbath, Dio, and Heaven & Hell. He is credited with popularizing the "metal horns" hand gesture in metal culture and was known for his medieval-themed lyrics. *Ronnie James Dio was known for popularizing the sign of the horns in heavy metal. He claimed his Italian grandmother used it to ward off the evil eye (which is known in Southern Italy as malocchio). Dio began using the sign soon after joining the metal band Black Sabbath in 1979*

Dio is a legend, such a powerful voice and every word he sings you hear crystal clear. For myself, Dio, Halford and Dickinson are the great singers of metal, powerhouses yes, but also capable of a beautiful melodic form of singing. Ozzy is a legendary frontman due to his great energy particularly live and he is actually a good vocalist, although I think his best work is his solo stuff with his own band. Ozzy and Black Sabbath go together better as a band than Dio and Black Sabbath overall, but Heaven and Hell is one of the best Black Sabbath songs period. Definitely worth checking out some more Dio; in any form- Rainbow, Dio or Black Sabbath.

I really like this video. Thanks for doing what you do. I'm new to Dio and I'm interested in people's takes on it. I really enjoy your perspective coming from a spiritual background. Keep up the great work! More Dio!!!

A song from my fav album of all time, with my fav singer of all time. So happy u liked it...

Sepultura - Refuse/Resist

"GREATEST ROCK VOCALIST EVER!

I was able to watch his show about a year before he passed away. It was a great experience, I always found it incredible (at least for me) as it conveyed so many good vibes live.

Thanks! I enjoyed your conversation.

Goddamn, Sori is so beautiful.

Masterpiece!

DIO is just amazing. Been listening to him since around 1989, and every time I hear him sing, I'm amazed.

I adore that song. Duo was a true legend!

This album brought the second wave of Heavy Metal. It was important and ground breaking

An interesting conversation and a good solid 9.5. Agreed. Love how you chat about the lyrics. However you never really chat about the musicianship. Would be good to hear you thoughts about the rest of the band. React to all aspects. Keep up the good work though. Love from Scotland.

My most memorable concert experience was an Iron Maiden concert shortly after Ronnie had passed away. Bruce Dickinson dedicated Maiden's "Blood Brothers" to the memory of Dio and thousands upon thousands chanted "Dio, Dio, Dio" for minutes on end. It was a surreal, touching show of unity for one of the forefathers of the Metal community. This is why I love the Metal concert experience so much: the sense of camaraderie between like-minded individuals is unlike anything I've ever experienced.

Epic song thanks for reacting!

React to Sodom. They're a German Thrash metal band who had a big influence on the early black metal and death metal scenes. Any of these songs would be fine - Nuclear Winter - Christ Passion - Agent Orange

Do Mr.Crowley by Ozzy Osbourne

Enjoyed your dissecting this song and lyrics. As for the slow music at the end, that's the carousel mentioned earlier in the song. Carousel music. Iommi is such a brilliant musician. Writing sounds to convey the words at times.

Bless you Sori

One of the greatest Metal songs of all time. Could barely contain myself from headbanging through it ( nah, I banged), nearly brought a tear to my eye. As someone earlier suggested 'Die Young' would be another great choice.

Dio! Check out the songs "Rainbow in the dark", "Holy Diver" or "The Last in Line"

I've seen your reviews before, ( subscriber) but this is a different side of you. I dig it. Your not being judgemental. kudos. cheers...

Your 💯% right Vin the song is about how heaven and hell are here there's good and bad. The world is full of Kings and queens who blind your eyes and steal your dreams there are good people who will steal from you or take advantage of you....

Children of the sea, Neon Knights next please.

When this album was recorded, Ronnie Dio had already been a professional musician for 21 years. His first record was in 1959. Musically, Dio Sabbath has very little in common with Ozzy Sabbath, but it does have a lot in common with Rainbow, Ronnie's previous band (with Ritchie Blackmore of Deep Purple).

I haven't had tine to see you guys much but this will be interesting.

To me, you really have to look at Black Sabbath with each singer as a different band because they were so unique and well.... different. Great video. Thanks for sharing. You picked a truly epic song.

Stargazer next, please!!! It has a nice metaphor for false prophets. You guys should watch videos of Dio talking about the meaning behind his lyrics and religion, its really sober. Cya

Lmao! I accidentally said bless you to Sori's sneeze out loud and everyone around me just looked at me like I'm an idiot 😂(at work). To funny!

Those were some cool lyrics even craft-wise. They have a nice flow and are meaningful at the same time.

he seems to tell a story from 2 perspectives...he was great at stories. you nailed it!

I would suggest The Mob Rules by Dio era Black Sabbath

first let me say that im soooooo happy and relieved that you like ronny. hes so amazing. and also a suggestion for a charity in my opinion is St. Judes. i have donated to them for a few years and all the information i can find seems that they are legit and completely non profit. the aspca would probably be the only other one i would consider but cant really afford to give to 2 charities at this point in my life. also have done no research on them. but anyway i love ozzy and always will but ronny james dio is such an important and awesome person for metal and just in general. thanks you two for such a great channel . i look forward to your posts daily

Luv These Two”!!

Congrats on getting to 50k subscribers. Heckuva milestone.

U want to hear another awsome one of sabbath with ronnie check out children of the sea !!!!

Black Sabbath - Headless Cross with Tony Martin on vocals!!!

10/10 classic. I'm jealous of people who are hearing this for the first time. Especially in today's climate. Great video guys!

So glad to have seen this song live 7 times before he passed away :_(

I am an Ozzy man. Always have been always will be. Those 70's Sabbath albums are astounding in their scope. They never get the credit they deserve for their musicality. That being said without a doubt in my mind that Heaven and Hell is the best Black Sabbath album period. Its just mythic.

Ronnie James Dio arguably the best singer and songwriter in metal history, he died of stomach cancer in 2010, the greatest loss in metal history as well, he changed Black Sabbath for the better and the albums he did with Black Sabbath ran circles around Ozzy era Sabbath imho. Dio solo albums are epic as well, check out Dio Don't Talk To Strangers from Holy Diver and Egypt (The Chains Are On) from The Last In Line and Voodoo from the Mob Rules album. I has the great pleasure of seeing Ronnie James Dio perform with Black Sabbath and Dio (The Band) and those performances changed my life for the better. Definitely do more Ronnie James Dio reactions you'll love it. Also Ronnie James Dio was in the band Rainbow, Gates Of Babylon or Stargazer are ones you need to review/react to. Great job Vin and Sori!!!! 🤘🤘

One of the first metal albums i listened to at the age of 14, hehe. still one of my top 3 albums of all time, dio was a genius...

I saw them in concert, Dio was incredible, great show.

Great reaction! DIO was one of the best metal vocalists ever! Now you gotta do Rainbow - Stargazer. That'll blow your mind!

Well now you have to do Rainbow - Stargazer. Its Ronnie James Dio before he went solo and before Sabbath. His vocals are mindblowing. 40 yrs later I get goosebumps and tears in my eyes. Ronnie was a gift. Btw, he died of cancer and once a year his wife puts on a Ride for Ronnie stand up and shout at cancer fundraiser. We meet in LA at a Harley dealership do a massive group ride to a park where lots of famous stars play Ronie's songs. They do silent auctions etc.. they raise the money for cancer. You should look into it. I have gone twice and plan on going again in 2019

love that ending with the what could be the little music box dancer....symbol (old world English music influence)

Love the channel

*DIO = ROCK GOD!!!*
