U got that right!

Yes

Dude can sing a little... xD Damn, I was so blinded by Ozzy & Dio, I missed this dude. Found him in Badlands and was blown away- way to late. Shoot- missed out on some great stuff. Thanks for posting Ricky Tyger!! You're awesome.

Dui doobie...

Ian Gillan, lol

OZZY👎🏿for me, BRRR🐷 » WAR PIG🤪🙀 » MDR🤣

Blown away,I'll never forget his voice.

He didn't do paranoid very well

Wish he was here

Yes! He's better than Dio! He definitely sang the Ozzy-era Sabbath material better than Dio!

Versions of Black Sabbath in Ottawa and Toronto in 1982 with Dio are the best, Ronnie was more virtuoso, consistent and powerful live.

Gillen was surely up there . But when Glenn Hughes was in top form he was just as good if not better . Iommi was asked out of all the singers , he's worked with who did he consider the best ? his reply was Glenn Hughes is very good !

Yeah they cancelled the Chicago show that was supposedly in April I heard Hughes couldnt keep up after a few shows and his voice was trashed, I was bummed I had to wait for Tony Martins Black Sabbath Tour version in 1988.

+Stig Mæle I'll say I almost forgot I was listening to Gillen at some points.

+Kelly Jackson I could never forget! No one else had this kind of talent and charisma, especially live! (But I know you meant this as a compliment; I'm not trying to fight!) You guys should look up his work in Badlands with the great guitarist, Jake E. Lee, if you haven't already. He really shown in that. Only three albums, alas. R.I.P., Ray.

bro I saw him with Sabbath this same year, it was unbelievable. I never even heard of him before the concert, I was expecting glen hughes. He was incredible live.

i saw the 1st Deep Purple reunion and it was also one for the books-

No, he isn't in tune, but the performance is awesome. I don't expect being in tune all the time from a live singer, because it's boring. I expect real emotions, and this is it. That's one of the best live shows of Ray Gillen I ever listened to. And the remastered sound is great.

Gillen no is close of Dio in terms of techinique, power, control and consistency live.

Wish it was done with Geezer and bill.

Doc Vader dude you have to check out the first 2 Badlands records with him and Jake E Lee!!

@@jameswest4259 died?

@@user-st5mo4vt9l He died of Aids

He did. I may be wrong, but it was some time ago. I think it was due to HIV issues back in '93.

@@tonytony3828 Oh wow, this reply is so old, it's before I learned about what he did. He knew he was HIV positive/full blown AIDS, and he went around smashing groupies without condoms, intentionally infecting them. And that's why there's no new official copies of the Badlands albums for sale. Somehow there was a court settlement that either prevented him fromearning or sent every profit from the record sales to his victims. Which totally screwed Jake and the rest of the band. So Jake couldn't make money off his own band, got screwed out of Bark at the Moon money. No wonder he left the music business for 20 years.

Ronnie James Dio, Franco Corelli and Jussi Bijörling was singers much most powerful but Gillen was fantastic and had much power too.

You don't know wtf you're talking about. Again I will tell you because you didn't get it; RAY GILLEN WAS AS GOOD AS DIO!!! I've watched Dio's performances with Sabbath for probably longer than you've been alive, and on the 1980 Heaven and Hell tour Dio actually sounded quite average on several songs. How do you like that?? True! YOU go back and watch video of that first year he was in Sabbath, 1980 on the Heaven and Hell tour and listen to how he sounds on the Ozzy stuff. NOT VERY GOOD! SO, YOU'RE WRONG! Dio sounded great on the NEXT tour in 1981/82 for Mob Rules. Ray Gillen was as good as Dio and maybe better in certain ways...WE ARE DONE. BYE, HAPPY NEW YEAR.@@luamoliveira3467

Yay

What happened to him

@@rodneybrentgray7251 AIDS. From sharing a tainted needle , IIRC

@@wwemagazine he also went around banging anything with a pulse after his diagnosis. Great singer but what he did after finding out he was sick was horrible.

Can't buy his music now due to legal settlement with women he knowingly gave AIDS to.

@@wwemagazinehe shared a needle with a squeezy junky uncle of his that he used to look up to

you are kidding,i hope,gillen and dio turned sabbath in a shity heavy metal band,sabbath was and is a doom metal band,ozzy is the right man

Geezer Butler had already started to feed this style of writing into the mix on ' never say die '

i agree with that on the count that he had no struggles hitting the highest notes to songs like tony martin;and even dio did at times.

imi dan I meant Ray Gillen had the best singing performance - I hope you're not saying that Ozzy was technically and vocally superior to Gillen (or Dio or Martin) - that would be a total rubbish. As band's achievement I agree that the Ozzy's years were absolutely the best, this is a fact. Above all the first two albums of Black Sabbath were the absolute masterpieces of this band, there's no comparison possible with any others works they did later on, indeed not many bands in the whole history of rock have achieved what Sabbath did with their debut albums.

They never called themselves Doom Metal. Even with Ozzy, they did a lot of experiment. Master of Reality was a way different album than Never Say Die...

Eternal Idol exists with 2 discs. The 2nd disc has Ray Gillen singing the songs.

@@Thegamer10113 Yes, You are right, and Ray was the original Vocalist for the Eternal Idol album. Most of the lyrics were written by Bob Daisley. all the vocal lines, harmony s and All, Ray Gillen improvised on the spot when a Demo version of Eternal Idol was recorded. In fact Tony Martin just did a ,,Karaoke,, thingy.

Your dad was effing lucky!!! I would’ve killed to meet him.

You like saying "this guy" a lot, don't you?

+jeff pinkfloydozzyblacksabbath and diofan fantastic set list! Encompassing ALL eras of Sabbath up to that point

+jeff pinkfloydozzyblacksabbath and diofan couldn't u atleast put the time in front of each song

bitch bitch bitch - listen to it and do it yourself

impresionante repertorio

At what mark is "Stranger to Love"? I can't find it, though I keep replaying this!

So true.

Tony Martin handled it fine.

@@thefonzkiss Martin was horrible live.

Willem Sterk was this singer?? I've seen Sabbath 3 x, the first was never say die, bill ward playing drums, heaven and hell, Vinnie appice on drums, but I swear I've seen cozy Powell with them on drums! (The 80s are a bit foggy to me 😜) anyone know who played drums for Sabbath the tour that quiet riot opened for them, mid 80s?, Shit, too many drugs...drugs are bad, mmkay?

@@johncrawford2510 Sure it was Terry Chimes from the Clash on this tour.

@@hardywallace5606 Eric Singer I believe

@@Fuzzypancakes_ Terry chimes of the Clash replaced Eric singer and Tony Martin replaced Ray Gillen and Joe bur t replaced Dave Spitz!!! LOL it got a little bit confusing back then

@@johncrawford2510 Bev Bevan played the drums for Sabbath during the 1983 tour with Quiet Riot. O saw them at the Meadowlands on that tour.

+David LoGo - Here's a word: 'Murderer'. He deliberately infected women with HIV/AIDS, knowing he was suffering from the illness all throughout the late '80s. This is why the record company isn't allowed to keep Badlands records in print. A deal they struck with the families of the victims. I'll take Glenn Hughes any day.

+The Rageaholic it's so easy to speak shit about other people.. how do you know that? or are u trying to hate on Ray? I knew he was gay, so your theory is falling piece by piece. if you don't know what you're talking about, please don't share your shit with me

+David LoGo Sorry to burst your bubble, but Ray Gillen was not gay, he was a straight guy who was very promiscuous. After being diagnosed with HIV, he vehemently denied it (perhaps from himself too) and carried on with his lifestyle. A marvellous singer and a true talent. But morally reprehensible anyway.

+dolphin66 hahahaha It couldn´t be clearer.I´ve never ever noticed that...good to know anyway Thanks

+David LoGo If you don't believe them, read "The Battle for Black Sabbath" by Gary Sharpe-Young. It discusses it in a bit more detail, as well the victims' families suing the Gillen estate.

Yes the biggest

Dio was best rock/metal vocalist off all time, no compare.

@@luamoliveira3467 nothing against it, but I prefer Ray Gillen.....

@@brunomelo547 Ok, I understand but singers like Dio or impeccable lyrical singers like Franco Corelli and Jussi Bijörling were more consistent and virtuoso overall; Gillen tends to not have much discipline in the high notes, sometimes he puts too much subglottic pressure on the larynx on very high notes and it can sound shrill and tense at times but this is constant with many rock/metal singers I know but Gillen was a great talent and a fantastic vocalist.

E ozzy o pior.

Dio is the better and more virtuoso singer in terms of skill the Sabbath.

Definitivamente fue el más grande! Todavía veo tenores queriendo cantar sus canciones y les cuesta bastante.

@@n.e.e.n.official6639 There were many situations in which Gillen was sounding too strident and half-toning the notes, his technique was never perfect like Dio's, watch Ronnie's performances with Black Sabbath in Ottawa 1982, in Toronto 1982 and with his solo band in Manchester in 1983, Gillen has a simpler singing style and without the variation of melodic designs and that fabulous spectrum of vocal color effects that Dio had through intonation manipulation (Dio was always a master in vocal manipulation), Gillen never had much discipline in the high notes and many times, even though he had an excellent technique, good control of his natural treble and great harmonic resonance in his live performances, in some cases he sounded too strident or with his voice even squeezed at times on very high notes far from the open throat singing and highly controlled free notes with very open vowels in the upper fifth octave as Ronnie had, Gillen could hardly belt notes above B4 with an extremely full-bodied, balanced vibrato with the same naturalness as Dio, he did not had perfect muscular control of the vocal mechanism and just like an operatic rock voice like Ronnie had, Dio could to execute those harmonic throat distortions with perfect control and without any muscular tension and effort, Dio is considered an absolutely virtuoso singer by many singing experts that I have access to (as I have in-depth knowledge of vocal anatomy and physiology, and know many great professionals in the field and have also partly studied the vocal material of many rock/metal singers); Gillen in my opinion was one of the best rock singers but at the same time he was underrated as a singer but he was not an extremely virtuoso singer in terms of technical ability and consistency in live performances like Ronnie James Dio; Just study deeply the Anatomy of the muscular structure of the vocal mechanism of both singers and I am sure that any specialist with formal knowledge of musical theory could reach the same conclusions.

The Gaming Ground imagine what he would be doing today. would he have fronted Red Dragon Cartel?

Robert bishop Hmm, maybe he would?

Robert bishop, no he still would be deceased from AIDS.

He did the Ozzy stuff almost as if he was bored with how easy it was .

@@danadabrowski1936 In all honesty, he was a Dio fan, huge, HUGE Dio fan. He fancied the classic Sabbath, but not much. He released an interview in 86 about Ozzy and Dioi commenting his performance. His answer: "I've heard comments from Ozzy and Ronnie about this band and all I can say is, hey, it's Tony's band to do with what he likes. I think that's very unfair. You guys bailed out and, OK, I have some very big boots to fill. I admit to that. Ronnie, he's like a hero. Ozzy, he can say what he likes. I just don't care."

You make it sound like Ray was there for a longtime....he was only filling in for Glenn and quit to form Badlands soon after....I would bet he was touring with Sabbath less than 6 months

@@fasteddie777666 indeed he was, would say two months touring plus time at the studio. He spent roughly 9 months with Sabbath

@@fasteddie777666 as I understand it he was a bit skiddish about joining Sabbath. Not sure why. His vocals were awesome and had he stayed I think he would have made some amazing albums. Eternal idol is an example. Yes he quit and they brought in Tony Martin to redo the vocals. Both versions are out there and both are excellent. I'm more a Gillan fan. Tony did a great job.

It may be better! At least live! I know, but it may be the truth

Jason Thrush That IS the original

For me an original version is version with Ray! Tony Martin is weak copy

Ian was right there I think better...

Tony Martin

Although he doesn't actually sing it! (Other than a single 'yeah'). But yeah, it's a whole tone sharp of the original- up to F#. Strangely, on the NSD tour, Ozzy was forced to sing it even higher in G!

Thx For Posting Track-List 🎵🎼🎶⚡🔥🤘 Mr. Raymond Arthur Gillen Criminally Underrated Geoffrey James Nicholls 🎹⚡🤘😢😢😢😢 Simply Rest In Peace Guys 😢😢😢😢😢😢😢

Super group wow .. Erick singer sounds way better here than with Kiss or Alice Cooper .. but Ray Guillén he tops any song from dió .. amazing

Thank you for the tracking list !!!

Tony Martin rocked live, too. Try listening to TYR promo tours or anything before 1994 (I guess he damaged his voice touring while having flu....) But he COULD sing live! (For example: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/mrKheZeDtN6ueZc.html )
