Dio is unmatched as a singer but Coverdale is fantastic here. Both excellent. For sheer bluesy feeling, Coverdale. For powerful, technically perfect singing, Dio. No winner, just both awesome in different ways.
Mistreated - Coverdale Masterpiece. DIO - is GOD level Singer. DIO represents this song proudly, respects original arrangement and vocal line, but Coverdale in this case is over all and always will.
I'm a big Dio fan and he would be amazing singing the phone book...but Coverdale just kills Mistreated IMO. Both versions are superb, I prefer the original Coverdale tho.
I really like David Coverdale, as in Deep Purple he really took the band in a very professional way, but Ronnie James Dio singing "mistreated" (in Rainbow my most beloved and favourite heavy metal band of all time but only with Ronnie James Dio as lead singer) is just the power of thunder rumbling on the horizon ahead of the storm.
Dio is a way better singer. But nobody sings better about Broken hearts than David Coverdale. This is a love Song, Dio...he's just not suffering enough hahahah
Are you serious??? Real opera singers - sing in the opera. And on UA-cam, the failed ones are fooling deaf rock fanatics, telling them what they want to hear about their idols. What they live.
Para mí la mejor interpretación es la de David Coverdale en un concierto en California en 1974 pero porque es un vídeo espectacular donde deep Purple hace una interpretación espectacular y transmite toda su magia transportando te a un momento único, toda esa gente esa guitarra ese atardecer y ese cepelin con el logo de good year te transporta a un instante único y irrepetible y que gracias a ese vídeo parece que sin haber Estado es como si lo hubiéramos vivido, pero si solo lo escucho cualquiera de los dos me parecen insuperables
These two are more close each other than, say, Dio and Halford, or Gillan. Both are great in this song, though my favourite is Ronnie of course. He is in another league obviously.
I think DIO has 1 of the most powerful voices in all of Rock music, he's unreal high notes listen to the song "Shame On The Night" off Holy Diver. Coverdale also has a great voice , each and every singer and band is great in their own right. So no one can say one is better than the other. Music is 100% opinion, what you like I may not it's just whats more appealing to your ears. RIP Ronnie James Dio
This is Coverdale's song...he wrote the bloody song and, therefore he set the standard on how it should sound. Secondly, at the time the song was written, David Coverdale was only 23 years old and this live performance is from California Jam, 1974. The live performance where Ronnie sings is from 1977, I believe, which makes Ronnie 35 at the time. It is an enormous difference in terms of full maturity of the tone, range, expression, attitude and every other aspect of performance. Take David's live performance of that song from Whitesnake era, from HAMMERSMITH...or DONINGTON....such a power and presence. One more important difference is that Ronnie was a tenor and David is a baritone. DE GUSTIBUS ET COLORIBUS NON DISPUTANDUM EST.
Yes Coverdale was not near his full potential, and at his first concert infront of 400k people, think it was quite late in the show, like the song number 12-13, but anyway this raw blues feeling he gives here is for me the original. Dio is a masterpiece but this comparison is not quite right.
You brought some sense to a crazy argument also Coveedale's previous experience was in pub bands. Yes it is Coveedale's song and age comparison a good point.
Dio a better singer, technically and with great range and all, yes. But the song was better sung by David. Hands down. He feels the song, the pain and delivers it to the audience. It is not about singing perfectly, it's about the feeling.
Two Voices, great voices, is a choice... for all different‼️RONNIE for me, and seeing him bring CHILLS, gestures🙏🤘🏿Magnificent, alway today 2022🤘🏿💋Ronnie💁💕
As Amazing as Ronnie James Dio is I Like David Coverdale's Version better due to Gravely Voice. He sings it at least to me with more Conviction and Grit.
I got the the feeling Coverdale sings the blues as in the technique. Dio has the emotions. I'm hearing him wail and suffer, I hear a blues singer singing some blues tune with Coverdale. okay, I am a bit biased, but Coverdale doesn't reach my soul. And I say that as somebody who likes blues music.
You compare a 23 Year old Coverdale with a 35 year old Dio. Coverdale has a much wider coval range than dio ever has and he is way more powerful. But Dio does a great job in this one :)
No Comparison. Dio sings this so freely. Coverdale is so forced. Dio's range, power and tone for this type of music is unmatched. Dio's breath control and vibrato is soooo good.
Yours is a fanboy comment. You’ ve never heard Coverdale singing if you say that he is “forced”. He’ s not “forced”…it’s simply Coverdale’s way of singing…and it’s different to Ronnie’s way of singing.
You hit that right on the head!!!!! DIO hands down! Have you heard Melody from LILIAC doing a small clip of this? I guarantee you DIO is looking at this young lady and he's smiling with tears of joy running down his face!!!!!!!
@@billpoulakis1741 THAT SHE IS!!! I HOPE SHE DOSE A COMPLETE COVER OF THIS! I THIK SHE'S GOT ONE OF THE BEST ROCK VOICES I'VE HEARD IN MANY, MANY YEARS!
like comparing night with day really. Dio was just awesome and Coverdale is a great front man. Vocally inferior to many singers however as a front man on his own.
Автор, не понимаю для чего хотите сравнить два великих исполнителя ,потешить своё самолюбие и отдать предпочтение одному из? Может в вашей картотеке есть Stargazer в исполнение Coverdale?
Coverdale is awesome in Whitesnake, but it seems he is trying really hard in these audio clips. Dio makes singing seem as easy as breathing. It's shocking to me that Dio would be 80 years old if he was still with us.
I think this song gotta for Coverdale's voice..he gave the song soul,style,magic something new... Dio is legendary singer ,vocal but he sung like others and fastly. Dio's version hasn't got any style .but Coverdale voice and techniques are magical!
Both great, but Whitesnake's Donnington live 1983 on video is the best version, followed by Whitesnake's Live in the Heart of the City followed by Rainbow's Live on Stage.
Перепеть композиции написанные для гениального Ковердэйла невозможно , как и невозможно перепеть композиции великого и легендарного Дио. Это вокалисты высшего эшелона, и проводить какие-то сравнения, и тем более дискутировать на тему, кто из них лучше или хуже неуместно и глупо в данном случае. Они оба великие, каждый из них неповторим и уникален по своему, у каждого из них свой тембр и тональность голоса, у каждого своя неповторимая харизма присущая только каждому из них. Они оба горячо любимы истинными ценителями классики рока!!!
This song was written for Coverdale and he sings it as he feels. Dio is my favorite singer but I don't like the way he says mistreated "too quickly", you can't feel the pain the song is talking about.
As I think, Coverdale had his peak shape from even 78 to 93. If you can, plaese, listen to a Whisper a Prayer for the Dying. It's kicking ass. However, in the Mistreated live Dio destroys everything, however David also matches a level of top vocalist. Also, let me tell that DC is my favorite frontman.
Both are incredible for the direction each of the singers / bands decided to take this song. Love both. However, in my opinion I think this song from the Rainbow 1977 Munich concert is the vocal highlight for Dio's career. This song was performed to perfection in this concert.
I agree! But I am very biased. Saw DP in 74 and Rainbow the On stage tour and the famous 77 Munich concert in the Circus Krone. Grew up in Munich in the 70s.
@@shaynepohlman6673 Ritchie really didn't like the type of music Coverdale and Hughes brought to the table. Plus I think Ritchie doesn't like Coverdale much. Actually got into a fight with him.
Both performances are extra-human! I love Dio on metal, but David is more adapted to blues, and therefore I give it to Coverdale on this one. However, I'm not sure David could sell Stargazer or Sign of the Southern Cross!
Interesting to see how many are rooting for Dio. I would agree that Dio was always superior techinically, but in this case for me - as others have also said - Coverdale's raw blues performance on this wins.
Why would it surprise you? After all Dio has sang not in 1 not in 2 but 3 Bands that has influence Countless of bands and has had 3 classic Albums one with each..Rainbow Rising, Heaven and Hell, Holy Diver! Not one single Singer has been able to do that in Metal or any type of music for that matter!
@@sds4life17 I said it was interesting not that I was surprised. I also stated my belief that Dio was always technically superior. I just prefer Coverdale's performance on this track 😉
@@Scriabinenthusiast You can say you like david more but still acknowledge DIO is the overall better singer. I mean DIO had an impressive 4 octave range being able to sing anything from doo wop, to literally being the "voice of heavy metal" .Coupled with crazy amounts of distortion, as well as being able to sing in chest voice, head voice, or a mix of both. Plus that power.
Dios performance is not forced. He sings with out effort. Coverdale seems to struggle! Dio will always be the Greatest vocalist in Hard rock - Heavy Metal with out question!
Это Дио без усилий поет? Да я всю жизнь думал, что он умер от разрыва сосудов, пока не узнал про онкологию. У него каждое слово КРИЧИТСЯ, не пропевается, а на износ связок орётся, был такой ещё тенор-Гиллан, спекся через 10 лет такого не уважения к своему инструменту- связкам, половину своего репертуара уже не может исполнять. Если бы был жив Рони, та же участь ожидала бы и его.
@@ИгорьПавлов-п5д Fakenews, from my knowledge of vocal physiology and the assessments that were made by other renowned vocal critics as well, Dio had an impeccable and extremely healthy vocal technique, the vocal control and muscle dominance he had was excellent and he always sang correctly, with highs. well controlled and he had complete control over his voice, he didn't have any vocal friction until he was 68, a clear example, he reached his highest whistle / head voice already at over 65 and he could probably sing without problems for much longer, plus his health problem and the cancer he had twice, vocally harmed him and the last one ended up being fatal
Two different takes on an amazing song. I saw Dio on the '77 tour so probably a biased toward him but saw Coverdale singing with classic Whitesnake when he'd matured a bit from the Deep Purple Burn tour and he was pretty sensational on Mistreated in that era.
I think Coverdale is more in essence of this blues song and Dio is singing this with assertiveness and authority. So in effect we have a duality here. What a fantastic comparison. My top favourite 3 are "Mr Crowley" live, "mistreated" live and "July Morning" live. Sometimes cant get them out of my head! Lol.
I have seen David Coverdale sing Mistreated and I seen Ronnie James Dio sing it with Rainbow 1977 both were excellent but Dio is the greatest rock singer of all time pure power and wrote some of the best ever hard songs like D C legends
At that stage Dio had many years of experience on Coverdale. His experience is apparent. Coverdale is a great natural talent but Dio has a barrage of vocal licks in his arsenal to draw from. Dio does it with the upmost of taste.
Anyway, David Coverdale, Jorn Lande and Dino Jelusic are the greatest vocalists I've ever had the pleasure of hearing sing in my 40 years as a rock fan. Bruce Dickinson, Ronnie Dio, Robert Plant and Freddie Mercury complete the TOP 7 of all time, in my opinion.
Check out Leo Jimenez- Bella Julietta, Edguy - Mysteria, Stratovarius - Elements and Infinity, Symfonia - In Paradisum, Jorn Lande - Perfect Strangers,...
I would put Ian Gillan on that list. He has an amazing vocal range. To me Deep Purple isn’t Deep Purple without him. Best DP consisted of Lord, Blackmore, Glover and Paice with Gillan singing. ✌️❤️
I like Coverdale’s vox better on this song. More soulful, more in keeping with the subject matter. I like Rainbow’s ‘attack’ better for what they were trying to do at that time, but again Purple was supporting the singer in what he was doing and it was awesome. Where Coverdale misses is in covering Gillian’s material. Despite his name, Coverdale does not cover other people’s work that well.
Dio is unmatched as a singer but Coverdale is fantastic here. Both excellent. For sheer bluesy feeling, Coverdale. For powerful, technically perfect singing, Dio. No winner, just both awesome in different ways.
At first I wanted to write something, but I see that they wrote what I think about it.
Dio is second to none as a singer. For a powerful and technically perfect chant it's called Dio. No winner? Dio is just the only winner.
same thinking, BUT David is for me more soulful. love his bluesy voice and he was soooo sexy.
You already said what I was gonna say ✌
@@pedrohoffmannjunior2915 dio looks like and sounds like a little rat.

Mistreated - Coverdale Masterpiece.

I love Dio. But for this song, the soul aproach from Coverdael (and Purlple)is the correct one.
Unless you are deaf, it seems clear Dio has the superior singing voice. His range is much broader.
I listened to both
They are both good but Ronnie James Dio is my favorite vocalist of all time.
So Ronnie wins 🤠
Ronnie James Dio is unparalleled.
Dio is a way better singer. But nobody sings better about Broken hearts than David Coverdale. This is a love Song, Dio...he's just not suffering enough hahahah
Dio is the reason why so many opera singers and voice teachers start reacting to metal vocalists. These two are not comparable!

agree this song gets a deeply blues feeling with davids voice .. i also like Dio very much
Im huge fan of Rainbow and Cozy, but the song is too fast with Dio.
It misses the depth the song in my opinion needs
Todos os dois tem uma capacidade incrível. É até uma sacanagem essa comparação. São vozes projetadas para o heavy metal.
I hate saying this because I love David Coverdale but the comparison is night & day … when Ronnie sings it’s on a whole different planet

Dio wins every time
Dio is the best pure Rock singer but peak Coverdale (1980-87) was a different level as a Blues Rock singer, incredible voice.
