Sabbath undeniably had a better catalog of songs under Ozzy, but Dio was just an undeniably better vocalist in my mind. Not that Ozzy is bad in any way and he's certainly iconic, but Dio performing the Ozzy-era songs is, to me, the ultimate iteration of Sabbath.
This is rad and all, and I agree on both points. The best Sabbath material were the Ozzy albums and Dio is far superior singer... but I don't like him on the Ozzy era songs a ton. Those songs just work better in Ozzy voice in my mind. It might just be that that is how I first heard them, or they were written with him in mind.
@@G0rgar The only reason the songs sound better with Ozzy is because he sang them first. Not because they are better. Never forget that. Dio was better in everything. However the songs belonged to OZ first, if Dio had sang them first no one would say with OZ was better.
I don’t understand the controversy and division amongst rock fans when it comes to the subject of Ozzy & Dio in Black Sabbath. Both of them gifted us with amazing music in their Sabbath days and their solo careers. There’s nothing wrong with liking both of them. Paranoid and Heaven and Hell are some of the greatest albums ever produced. Anyone that chose to listen to this song and expected Dio to mimic the way Ozzy sings it is out of touch. If you listen to Ozzy’s album Under Cover you will hear a full album of Ozzy doing cover songs and singing them in his own way just as Dio did here.
RJD sings it about as well as I can. Ozzy sings in no time and original Black Sabbath played in no time so just works better. (See the documentary Heavy Metal Briattania, If you want to disagree with Tony Iommi, take it up with him not me, I belive him no questions asked) No disrespect to RJD or to any fan who prefers his version. A personal opinion is Ozzy did it better.
what made ozzy special was had such emosion in his voice. the song black sabbath is a scary song and he sounded scared when he sang it.dio had more range ozzy had more emosion. Both great
@@smithdsmit Agreed, I didn't mean to make it seem like one is better than the other, I just think it would be very weird and truly special if Ozzy did a Dio song :P
@@smithdsmit I would have to disagree with you in that ozzy has more emotion, Have you listen to Dio in Rainbow? How about The song Heaven and Hell and Lonely is the word and what about Falling of the edge of the world and Over and Over from the Mob Rules Album and last but not least Holy diver, Dont talk to strangers, The last in line and many many more! Ozzy had a unique voice and its a great show man thats it!!
@@sds4life17 Don't get me wrong I seen sabbath 3 times with Dio and it was great. But you listen to the song Black Sabbath. It's a scary song and Ozzy sounds scared when he sang it. That song affected me more then any thing they did with Dio. Even though "The mob Rules is my fav Sabbath album
I was skeptical that this version would hold up after the intro, and I gotta say this song was made (more so than some others) for Ozzys bluesy cry, but not only is the instrument work transcendent as always, Dio sings with such talent and warmth that I’m very happy I heard it. :)
Holy shit this version is so hype. I love the vocal runs. A lot of dynamic in this performance. Dio can pull of Ozzys Era. Don’t think the vise versa was possible.
Both are great renditions, each musician does amazing as well. The one thing that does bug me is how Dio makes a sound every moment of the song, where ozzy really went for the ominous sound. Yet both are easily rock gods.
I think alot of people gotta quit trying to be know it all criics. It's all great stuff. Dio did what he had to do. Both different styles, both sound great.
Dio is my favorite singer of all time (ok along with Freddie), but Ozzy was so much better, in his heyday, on their early stuff. These songs were simply made for him to sing.
Ozzy was a good singer in the '70s, but sang like a schoolboy. Dio's interpretation is obviously richer in colour. When he sings the chorus with aggression, you know that the song is an angry protest.
I think the emptiness in ozzy shows the terrible state better because it shoes at this point everybody has just given up and is lifeless. I personally think Dio sounds terrible with Ozzies songs but sound good with his own black sabbath songs
Have you heard War Pigs played in Brussels 1970??? I would not say Ozzy sounds like a school boy at all. I think that was the best performance of War Pigs they ever did
One of the great virtues of Ozzy as singer was that he was happy to sit out on the songs and let the power of them take over; very often he sings for maybe less than half of a Sabbath song - this allowed the dynamism and variety of the early Sabbath. Dio's ego won't allow him to not be involved with the song at any point. He has to paper the song with his voice at all times and the dynamic is totally lost, despite the (awesome) power of the playing. Dio's egotism just won't let him get out of the way as the song requires.
Imagine if DIO’s stand was Polpo’s Black Sabbath instead of Za Warudo. That would’ve been awsome (ignoring the fact that Araki based Za Warudo on Dio’s song Holy Diver)
I honestly think Black Sabbath would have died and NSD if Ozzy had stayed. I think Dio brought a refreshing take on the music that the band really needed. And Ozzy went on to have a very successful solo career so I think it was for the best.
Ozzy is the most overrated vocalist in metal. He rode on of The genius of Iomi and Butler and ward. Ozzy can scream, and someone below is right he does sound scared. That's because he is so burnt out he doesn't know what direction is up. I never liked warpigs, but Dio makes it good. Also to the idiot who said Dio was out of key, Dio has never been out of key in his life.
Comparação mais esdrúxula, Dio é um cantor virtuoso, está construindo uma variação de improvisos melódicos e cantando legatos em sequências de frases contíguas com extremo domínio e consistência orgânica da voz e esse resmungado de Dio que você menciona se chama inflexão vocal; Impressionante como uma certa parcela até mesmo do público de fãs rock, principalmente no Brasil, não entendem o básico de fisiologia vocal; Ozzy é sim um bom cantor mas é mais um personagem com uma voz extremamente monótona onde a maior parte da projeção da sua voz fica inteiramente na máscara e com muita nasalidade; praticamente todas as versões que Ronnie James Dio e o próprio Ray Gillen fez das músicas de Ozzy que eu ouvi, todas ficaram melhores em suas vozes, até porque são cantores com uma capacidade vocal muito superior tecnicamente, em interpretação e com muito maior consistência.

Hard disagree. The backbone was Tony Iommi all the way. Don't sleep on the Martin albums either, they kick ass too. But in comparing ozzy sabbath and Dio sabbatth, its Dio 100%
I freaking love Dio but he doesn't fit the Ozzy songs and neither does Ozzy fit the Dio songs. Dio was always a powerful actual singer and had undeniable pipes and talent but the Ozzy songs just seem too simple for his range.
This version is easier to listen to all the way through. Especially if you actually listen to, and like Dio. I find the Ozzy version boring after the intro. And obviously so did Dio

Holy shit this version is so hype. I love the vocal runs. A lot of dynamic in this performance. Dio can pull of Ozzys Era. Don’t think the vise versa was possible.
Yes ozzy Era with these songs were great. Dio just made them with actually singing a whole different category!!!!!!!!
Glad Dio didn’t try to go Bluesy Vocal on this He made it own Great Version Then again Dio could sing the Phone Book and make it sound Amazing
For gods sake, Ozzy is not bluesy, he screeches.
The lower notes reminds me of Hetfield in the late 90's. But damn, those highs...
Dio interpreta questo brano con una grande forza espressiva. Una voce fenomenale. Superiore a Ozzy senza dubbio
Rock do bom do Black sabbath 🇧🇷👹🔥🤘🏽☠️🕯️🔱👍🏽
He had one HECK of a set of pipes on him. Still sorely missed.
We miss you Ronnie, you left us your music. We will never forget you. R.i.p. brother
Both are great renditions, each musician does amazing as well.
The one thing that does bug me is how Dio makes a sound every moment of the song, where ozzy really went for the ominous sound. Yet both are easily rock gods.
I miss Ronnie so much
The way he sings “power minds” always gets me
Dio was awesome as the lead singer in Rainbow and Sabbath
I think alot of people gotta quit trying to be know it all criics. It's all great stuff. Dio did what he had to do. Both different styles, both sound great.
If he tried to sound same as ozzy it would then be he's copying ozzy

better than Ozzy
Naa disagree both are great
way better than that boozed up pill popping dementia dork ozzy
Ozzy and Diop started than voice where no vocals I want to hear iommi
DIO owned this song.
The little man with the big voice
the last part is a magical journey
ozzy amenazo a dio diciendole que no cante war pigs o paranoid, a dio no le importo lo que el dijera y los canto igual e incluso mejor xd

Nice
Ozzy made some great stuff with sabbath but no one Can even come close to dio man
i m sorry so sad never got to see the Dio Sabbath
I love Dio man I really do respect to man he had a hell of voice but singing the Ozzy classics just sound off
good

Ser um cantor de rock não é só sobre saber cantar, é também sobre atitude
Ozzy os the best!!!!
Dio make this song become metal..
Bro I need edit of this song with Dio Brando

1000% the most accurate statement in the history of metal!!!
Fuck off...
youre right. with Dio its better. its W A R P I G S !!!!
You just a hater, dio is a great singer and songwriter
As much as I prefer Dio over Ozzy this song doesn't sound right with Dio

This version is a no for me. Dio is my favorite singer but this song.. no thanks. This song is Ozzy all the way.
It doesn't help that this is a live audio, instead of a more consistent result that can be capture in the studio.
@@davidgomez7882 Dio is usually great live or studio. This was just one of the off nights I guess.
