I second your observation Dio took Black Sabbath to another level with his song writing to me being a young kid when this came out it was on the radio first time I heard Dio EVER I was just in awe and followed everything he did
Regardless of anything else this first album with Dio in Black Sabbath is an absolute classic rock album without a bad track. Mob Rules album was similarly excellent! Dio fit in just nicely in my ears 🙂
They needed it. Geezer Butler was kinda defeated feeling at the time, and believed he was always a terrible song writer despite being one of the best song writers ever lol.
Too bad they couldn’t hire one that actually could write decent lyrics though. Big mistake letting Dio take over. Example: We went from Children of the Grave. Dark, insightful, thought provoking to Children of the…f*ing Sea…lame and pretty juvenile writing. I will not say anything bad about most of the music though.
@@Wither81"Juvenile" as in the writing's meaning is not surface level enough for you to be able to understand on your own? Dio wrote deep, layered, meaningful music that was wrapped in a cover of dungeon and dragons, kings and rainbows. The only thing juvenile here is apparently your literary comprehension.
I’m glad to see this, as it’s my absolute favorite Sabbath song. I finally got to see them play it live as the band “Heaven & Hell” shortly before Dio passed. It was amazing.
OUCH, Lex! Context is important. Nobody thought there could be a better Ozzy. Including Ronnie. So Dio played a new ball on a new court. As a stand alone, this album is legendary!
I tend to see Sabbath with Ozzy, and Sabbath with Dio as two separate bands. Both great in the sound that they project. Dio is an impeccable singer and Ozzy's voice is full of blues and personality. Both good. No need to argue about it.
If you listen to Paranoid, with Ozzy, and you listen to this, with DIo, I think it's consistent but with a different flavor. It's Black Sabbath ten years later and their sound has been updated. Ozzy himself released Blizzard of Ozz that year with a similarly updated sound.
I actually love the sabbath with Dio as well as the Ozzy era-but girl has a point and I thought it was pretty cool what she said...." when I listen to Dio I think Rainbow or just DIO. Girl has done her homework.
I've listened to this song hundreds of times and hear(feel) the riff every time. It is more subtle than other Iommi riffs but it does allow Dio's awesome vocals shine through that much more.
OZZY’s voice was perfect for the band during the 70’s doom metal era (Vietnam) Dio’s voice 🤘🏼was more metal thrash for the 80’s and going forward. Both Singers are legends. “Love can be seen as the answer…… But nobody bleeds for the dancer” on and on 🤘🏼 ….if I remember correctly, Lex darling…. You absolutely loved Heaven & Hell ❤️❤️❤️ (same album)
As the song fades I find myself expecting the guitar intro to "Children of the sea". What an album, I remember listening again and again and aaaaaaagain to it all those years ago. Brad and Lex you need to treat yourselves to Rammstein's "Deutschland". Prepare to be blown away.
You're being guided badly with the Dio songs!! 'Mob Rules' is a better, much harder darker album. Sabbath got actually musical when an actual musician and writer joined the band, Ozzy couldn't sing, only along with the riff so they HAD to write that way, once talent joined the band, they expanded. Ozzy couldn't write either, Geezer did all the writing until Ronnie joined the band. Check out 'Falling Off the Edge of the World', album first, then check out Heaven and Hell ( Dio Sabbath as old guys) performing it live, months before Ronnies death and he sounds PLATINUM. Also check out ANYTHING from Rainbow 'Live in Munich 1977' 'Man on the Silver Mountain', the 14:15 min version is a great start! Also 'Mistreated'. Check out Dio LIVE, his voice was one of a kind and live he could show so much more of that, plus his stage presence was that of Freddie Mercury, which always adds to the performance!
First, awesome rockin the Killers tee🤘 This album is more " pop" if you will, Dio was more fantasy in his lyrics, Elf, Rainbow, and definitely Heaven n Hell. Thats why there was clearly 2 Sabbath versions, and 40+ years later its still debatable, like Roth or Hagar?. Either way, it was a great time to be a teen
Did she actually say, "Where's the riff??" It's Up-Tempo Sabbath, Lex. Listen faster! It's created by Tony Iommi, for crying out loud. Tony created another monster riff here but it goes by quick, cuz this time Dio's got the boys galloping forward into battle!
This is a good song from the album Heaven and Hell with Ronnie James Dio sing as the replacement for Ozzy. The song Heaven and Hell is a much better song, But this one is still pretty good.
Spent a good amount of time in HS in the early '80's learning every note of every song on this album and the next one "Mob Rules" on the guitar. Interesting to now learn the lyrics 40+ years on, lol.
Guys, listen to this whole album, it is platinum for a reason, it is amazing, not a bad song on it, and yes thereare amazing riffs everywhere, if you choose the next song on the album, children of the sea, you will feel right back at home, this is a more straight forward opener, children of the sea has that iconic Sabbath groove with killer riff.Oh, i see you allready did children of the sea, well, there are plenty of others, but you should really do 'lonely is the word' from the same album, you will see different sides of the band and realise how versatile they are, 'planet caravan' is another from the ozzy era.
Lex , I hear you but!.....That DuhDuhDuhDuhDuh is so freakin' awesome. As Spock would say ...Pure Energy! This album when it dropped was massive! Everyone had it it was huge. Then...Ozzy met Randy Rhoads!!!!!!!!!!
Hey guys what's up! I was in seventh or eighth grade when this came out. I can still remember my neighbor from across the street blasting this out his front windows. You guys rock! God bless you! Peace!
Very interesting observation - Traditional Sabbath is darker for sure. Neon Knights was cut 1 of the first Dio / Sabbath era LP, so perhaps they were making a statement that this was a slight departure from the past Sabbath releases.
I couldn't disagree more. Dio's time with Black Sabbath was phenomenal. And they did three great albums together, two back to back in the early 80s (Heaven & Hell and Mob Rules), and one in the early 90s (Dehumanizer). If you count when the Mob Rules era Black Sabbath lineup toured as Heaven & Hell then there was a fourth album in 2009, The Devil You Know. I like counting it to give Black Sabbath an even 20 Studio Albums. If you want something heavier and darker, you could always listen to Computer God or I from Dehumanizer. It was Black Sabbath's 16 studio album and first time performing with Dio in over ten years. The whole thing was super heavy, and I love it. As for Ozzy in general, it's worth noting more than half of Black Sabbath's 19 studio albums didn't have Ozzy on them, just the first 8 and the final studio album, 13, in 2013 (and your mileage may vary on the seventh and eighth albums).
You got it, it's a different vibe with Dio. They reinvented themselves with this album and came back strong after a few weaker outings with a waning Ozzy. There are still riffs to be found for sure but it was a different era and Sabbath built their songs in a more modern way with Dio as one of the main contributors. I love the original Sabbath lineup as I got introduced to the band by listening to the Master of reality album but the Dio years are also classic Sabbath. Please consider listening to Children of the sea from the same album, it's a great Sabbath song.
Much respect to the guitar player who took Sabbath to a more cleaner mainstream sound with DIO. A rare feat - and a great album - Heaven and Hell, and a few other standout songs.
And Die Young. The rest of the album is kinda meh. But those three songs are as good as any Sabbath and way better than anything Dio did solo. His songs are all keyboards and empty.
Heaven & Hell 1980, Mob Rules 1981and their later Dehumanizer album from 1992 are fantastic. Check out After All (The Dead), Letters From Earth and I from Dehumanizer. Saw them performing as Heaven & Hell in 2007. A magic concert.
If you're looking for a more riff driven song , Heaven and Hell from the same album is the one you should listen toThe radi city music hall version is stunning.
Best Dio/Sabbath song was on Mob Rules: "Country Girl". I fell in love w/ a country girl myself once, screwed things up like I always do, but still I can relate to it, 30 or 40 years later
Dio certainly brought his style to Sabbath, with songs like this and "The Mob Rules", another more dirty, dark metal song from that incarnation of the legendary band -- you definitely need to check that tune out (personally, the version from the Heavy Metal movie soundtrack is perhaps the best).
It's funny you caught the hopefulness of this song. The Neon Knights were defeated. The album tells a story. Evil came, the Knights were called, the people hopeful, and they lost the rising Sun. Very conceptual album.
The new AC/DC and this album came out at about the same', it took a lot for us to accept them because they both had new singers, but we got used to it and ultimately absorbed it and figured it out, and realized these dudes were just as good''''''.
If you want Dip-era Sabnath songs that have more of the Sabbath sound you're expecting, go for "Heaven and Hell," "Lonely is the Word," and "Sign of the Southern Cross." Lex will love em as Sabbath songs with Dio singing versus having to think of them as non-Sabbath "Dio" songs to enjoy them.
Fun fact about Dio: He'd been working since the late 50's in different bands, and in one he was in named ELF, they did several cover songs in the 70's, but not long after Black Sabbath song War Pigs came out, ELF did a live cover of it, which means Dio had been singing War Pigs almost as long as Ozzy had: ua-cam.com/video/m1XrmD0uglk/v-deo.html
Black Sabbath is one man, and one man only. Tony Iommi. If he's there, and he says it's Black Sabbath, then it IS Black Sabbath. Regardless if the singer is Ozzy (not much of a singer, in all honesty) or any one of his brilliant successors: Dio, Ian Gillan (of Deep Purple fame), Glenn Hughes (again, of Deep Purple fame) or Tony Martin (of five stellar Black Sabbath albums from 1987-95 fame).
I definitely feel the same as Lex, Sabbath is not the same without Ozzy. I did enjoy some of Dio's work with Sabbath, but the original lineup will always be Black Sabbath for me. Music speaks to every individual differently, it makes you feel however it makes you feel.
Here it was spring of 1980 and I get home with the two rock albums I had just purchased: Black Sabbath's Heaven and Hell and Van Halen's Women and Children First. Of course I saved the best for last and played the Van Halen album first. Then I wanted to really rock out and turned the volume up, put Heaven and Hell on the turntable and sat back down. Only to jump up an instant later when Neon Knights almost blew my speakers out and I was convinced my neighbors were already calling the police!
Lex, its great to see you well and back on the channel, i hope junior is doing well also! Brad you are sitting next to a Gem, take care if her brother....both if them!
Wishing Well is another great tune from this album. 100% Killer, no filler LP. My number 1 non Ozzy Sabbath album and number 2 all time favorite from Sabbath, Sabatoge is and always will be #1. Iommi was outside of his mind on this album, truly a masterpiece.
Sabbath becoming more melodic and artful with Dio at the helm instead of being mostly doom and gloom beforehand . A step up in their prodigious long career .
Ya'll would dig the live version of Rainbow's "Mistreated" that was done in Germany when Dio was doin the vocals. Quality is excellent and the musicianship is over the top, as usual.
Love Ozzy and that era of Sabbath, great music. But Dio is my favorite rock vocalist ever. Powerful, sonically fulfilling and easy to listen to. So many hits on the album Heaven and Hell.
![WE LOVE IT! | FIRST TIME HEARING Black Sabbath - "Hand of Doom" [REACTION]](/img/n.gif)
Lex!!! This is one, if not the best comeback albums with a new lead singer EVER!!!!!
Id put Back in Black and Number of the Beast ahead but it's right up there
I second your observation Dio took Black Sabbath to another level with his song writing to me being a young kid when this came out it was on the radio first time I heard Dio EVER I was just in awe and followed everything he did
I think she's right that it's closer to Rainbow and solo Dio than it is old Sabb though
@@edwardleonetti2492 They played this on the radio when it came out?
A last spurt of life from Sabbath after the dismal Never Say Die, and before the abysmal slide from Mob Rules through the Gillen & Martin stages...
Heaven and Hell album is awesome. A different era of Black Sabbath began with this album.
A total Classic.
Absolutely right… no one else could have taken over from Ozzy … absolutely nobody else…except DIO
Heaven and hell is amazing
Regardless of anything else this first album with Dio in Black Sabbath is an absolute classic rock album without a bad track. Mob Rules album was similarly excellent! Dio fit in just nicely in my ears 🙂
Sabbath finally hired a guy with Dio who could write his own songs.
They needed it. Geezer Butler was kinda defeated feeling at the time, and believed he was always a terrible song writer despite being one of the best song writers ever lol.
@@kingbaby8761 right! lol
Too bad they couldn’t hire one that actually could write decent lyrics though. Big mistake letting Dio take over. Example:
We went from Children of the Grave. Dark, insightful, thought provoking to Children of the…f*ing Sea…lame and pretty juvenile writing. I will not say anything bad about most of the music though.
@@Wither81 yeah I agree about the environmental song... ugh. He can write great songs though, most of them just happen to be sword and dragon.
@@Wither81"Juvenile" as in the writing's meaning is not surface level enough for you to be able to understand on your own? Dio wrote deep, layered, meaningful music that was wrapped in a cover of dungeon and dragons, kings and rainbows.
The only thing juvenile here is apparently your literary comprehension.
That is a riff, and a great one. This is one of the greatest metal albums of all time!
I felt bad disagreeing with Lex.
@@davidvasquez8658 I was sort of shocked that she seemed to not like the song. They both seemed to love the song Heaven and Hell.
Amazing powerful driven song with great quality music and lyrics from master's of their crafts.
I’m glad to see this, as it’s my absolute favorite Sabbath song. I finally got to see them play it live as the band “Heaven & Hell” shortly before Dio passed. It was amazing.
OUCH, Lex! Context is important. Nobody thought there could be a better Ozzy. Including Ronnie. So Dio played a new ball on a new court. As a stand alone, this album is legendary!

Lex couldn't be more right. See it exactly the same way for 35 years. There's Sabbath and Ozzy and there's Dio with his stuff.
Lex cracks me up, "I wanna go into the crust in the corner..." - too good 😂
I've listened to this song hundreds of times and hear(feel) the riff every time.
It is more subtle than other Iommi riffs but it does allow Dio's awesome vocals
shine through that much more.
Neon Knights is an absolute jam and a gem of a song.
Oh come on Lex!Do you realize this album brought Black Sabbath back from the dead?! Both versionsof Sabbath are exceptional!
OZZY’s voice was perfect for the band during the 70’s doom metal era (Vietnam) Dio’s voice 🤘🏼was more metal thrash for the 80’s and going forward. Both Singers are legends.
“Love can be seen as the answer……
But nobody bleeds for the dancer” on and on 🤘🏼 ….if I remember correctly, Lex darling…. You absolutely loved Heaven & Hell ❤️❤️❤️ (same album)
Yall need to go down the rabbit hole and give Sabbath a spin with every singer - Glenn Hughes, Ray Gillen, Ian Gillen, and Tony Martin.
I ♥️ Black Sabbath !
"sign of the southern" cross off of "the mob rules" album is the dark jam your looking for....just saying
Yes, this is the song with Dio to rattle the floorboards!
From best Sabbath album.
As the song fades I find myself expecting the guitar intro to "Children of the sea". What an album, I remember listening again and again and aaaaaaagain to it all those years ago.
Brad and Lex you need to treat yourselves to Rammstein's "Deutschland". Prepare to be blown away.
One of my favorites from this album!!!! Takes me back to freshman year in high school 🤘
This is a great song!!!
2:35 She's throwing shade specifically at Tony Iommi actually. 😆
You're being guided badly with the Dio songs!! 'Mob Rules' is a better, much harder darker album.

Tony's solo is so good this whole album was just outstanding.
Both solos are sublime.
2:30 where's the riff?? Riff king? Hahahaha while wearing the shirt of the band that has a hundred songs using that same riff. Sorry Lex, I had to.
love black sabbath both with ozzy and dio
He just turned Black Sabbath into DIO
New sub from STL ..watched tons of your vids..love yall
I love OG Black Sabbath, but this is my favorite Black Sabbath album of all time!!!!
You gotta do Turn up the night of Mob rules..... brilliant
Lex just blast Tony Iommi, where’s the riff ?Savage 🤘🤘
First, awesome rockin the Killers tee🤘
This album is more " pop" if you will, Dio was more fantasy in his lyrics, Elf, Rainbow, and definitely Heaven n Hell. Thats why there was clearly 2 Sabbath versions, and 40+ years later its still debatable, like Roth or Hagar?.
Either way, it was a great time to be a teen
Dio put Sabbath on another level....When stars align
Did she actually say, "Where's the riff??"
It's Up-Tempo Sabbath, Lex. Listen faster! It's created by Tony Iommi, for crying out loud. Tony created another monster riff here but it goes by quick, cuz this time Dio's got the boys galloping forward into battle!
Then for Sabbath vocalists there’s Ian Gillan, Tony Martin and Glen Hughes all ready for you to check out!
the Dio version of Sabbath does have darker stuff. check out Voodo or Sign of the Southern Cross.
Love this song!🎉
This is a good song from the album Heaven and Hell with Ronnie James Dio sing as the replacement for Ozzy. The song Heaven and Hell is a much better song, But this one is still pretty good.
"Too happy" yeah I get you too. Thats what makes Sabbath, dark crazy stuff, that you don't hear on the radio.
Spent a good amount of time in HS in the early '80's learning every note of every song on this album and the next one "Mob Rules" on the guitar. Interesting to now learn the lyrics 40+ years on, lol.
Voodoo from Mob Rules album

Classic song from a classic album. Btw what is the women's voice saying in the intro to your videos
Lex , I hear you but!.....That DuhDuhDuhDuhDuh is so freakin' awesome. As Spock would say ...Pure Energy! This album when it dropped was massive! Everyone had it it was huge. Then...Ozzy met Randy Rhoads!!!!!!!!!!
Hey guys what's up! I was in seventh or eighth grade when this came out. I can still remember my neighbor from across the street blasting this out his front windows. You guys rock! God bless you! Peace!
Thank you!!! Thank you!!!!
One of my top 10 favorite songs of all time!
This is the 2023 version of Where's The Beef?
It was a different 'flavor' of Sabbath with Dio, for sure. With that said - 'Heaven and Hell' & 'Mob Rules' were great albums.

??? Its Black Sabbath ... Its Tony Iommi.
@@davidvasquez8658 the name escaped me at the time I wrote it. Brain freeze.
It's one of Black Sabbath's faster songs, which the riff isn't overpowering and chugging...but still a great song to rock out to.
Heaven & Hell 1980, Mob Rules 1981and their later Dehumanizer album from 1992 are fantastic. Check out After All (The Dead), Letters From Earth and I from Dehumanizer. Saw them performing as Heaven & Hell in 2007. A magic concert.

Yes, her analysis is understandable.
This album to metal and rock fans is like the holy Grail!!! Wow Lex, just wow..?
It's funny you caught the hopefulness of this song. The Neon Knights were defeated. The album tells a story. Evil came, the Knights were called, the people hopeful, and they lost the rising Sun. Very conceptual album.

You might come around. Check out "Heaven and Hell."
Ian Gillan’s bright voice also marked an era in Blck Sabbath, even if short lived.
This whole album is a Banger.
Merciful Fate - Melissa
Tony Iommi shines on this album 😎✌☮🚬

You want riffs try Heaven and Hell or Children of the Sea
Fun fact about Dio:
He'd been working since the late 50's in different bands,
and in one he was in named ELF, they did several cover songs
in the 70's, but not long after Black Sabbath song War Pigs
came out, ELF did a live cover of it, which means Dio
had been singing War Pigs almost as long as Ozzy had:

Ok you have to do "Mob Rules"! Best opening guitar riff ever!
Reactors are obsessed with "riffs". It does such an injustice to those awesome bass lines & precision drumming on this album.
Black Sabbath is one man, and one man only. Tony Iommi. If he's there, and he says it's Black Sabbath, then it IS Black Sabbath. Regardless if the singer is Ozzy (not much of a singer, in all honesty) or any one of his brilliant successors: Dio, Ian Gillan (of Deep Purple fame), Glenn Hughes (again, of Deep Purple fame) or Tony Martin (of five stellar Black Sabbath albums from 1987-95 fame).

This entire album is the mona lisa masterpiece of music.
You guys just brought me back to my teenage years
Here it was spring of 1980 and I get home with the two rock albums I had just purchased: Black Sabbath's Heaven and Hell and Van Halen's Women and Children First. Of course I saved the best for last and played the Van Halen album first. Then I wanted to really rock out and turned the volume up, put Heaven and Hell on the turntable and sat back down. Only to jump up an instant later when Neon Knights almost blew my speakers out and I was convinced my neighbors were already calling the police!
welcome to the new baby 🙂
Check out the album 'Fused' which Tony Iommi made with Glenn Hughes to hear Tony Iommi cranking it up big time.
Lex, its great to see you well and back on the channel, i hope junior is doing well also! Brad you are sitting next to a Gem, take care if her brother....both if them!
Bro looks like he’s in a trance in the first bit.
Wishing Well is another great tune from this album.
100% Killer, no filler LP.
My number 1 non Ozzy Sabbath album and number 2 all time favorite from Sabbath, Sabatoge is and always will be #1.
Iommi was outside of his mind on this album, truly a masterpiece.
Sabbath becoming more melodic and artful with Dio at the helm instead of being mostly doom and gloom beforehand . A step up in their prodigious long career .
I totally agree with Lex😊
Where's the riff? Tony still made great riffs with Dio at the helm. Check out "Mob Rules" for one.
Lex better set up a p.o. box for all the hate mail that's comin'.
Lex is right. I’ve always considered the Dio years as White Sabbath.
You should have watched the video. You have to see Ronnie's performance of the song. The spell he weaves telling the story.
Ya'll would dig the live version of Rainbow's "Mistreated" that was done in Germany when Dio was doin the vocals. Quality is excellent and the musicianship is over the top, as usual.
Love and Miss the chemistry of Brad and Lex
Love Ozzy and that era of Sabbath, great music. But Dio is my favorite rock vocalist ever. Powerful, sonically fulfilling and easy to listen to. So many hits on the album Heaven and Hell.
A personal favorite of mind. great reaction
Thanks, Lex, Black Sabbath WAS Ozzy Osborn!
Of course all rock and metal has to be played LOUD to truly get it!
