Dio: I think, probably, a part of the song "Heaven And Hell": "the world is full of kings and queens who blind your eyes and steal your dreams, it’s Heaven and Hell", because to me that speaks about what happens to musicians. - Interview, September 2005, dmme.net/interviews/dio2.html

[@jamieperdue8663]

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.

[@TheDark1903]

I had the honor of meeting him a couple of times myself. The best part, he literally remembered my name when I saw him backstage the second time. My group was also the last in line both times we met. Which meant we hung out with the band for almost an hour each time.

[@zombiewriter7530]

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

[@Lizard-of-Oz]

Totally right! On Live Evil, Dio was singing Ozzy's Black Sabbath.. it didn't fit!(my own opinion and perspective) At the time of Dio's last days touring with Black Sabbath, They changed the name of the band to Heaven and Hell, I still don't know if it was as a tribute to Ronnie James Dio in life. For all they'd played was all Dio's era with Black Sabbath.

[@rickschroeder3127]

That happened for 2 reasons 1. Dio didn't like singing Ozzy era songs. Felt they were beneath him 2. Ozzy and Tony Iommi went to court over the Sabbath name. Tony believed it was his since he was the only original member throughout every version of Sabbath. Ozzy felt it belongs to all 4 original members.

[@phillipcslayerozz1435]

Ozzy is my favorite but I love of them

[@Lizard-of-Oz]

This is cool! Love Tony Iommi, but as fan of Black Sabbath I would give it to Ozzy. At the end of all things, it usually happens, when a band reaches fame and they become rich on money, there are always these kind of disputes, I've seen this in a lot on break ups and on the case of Black Sabbath the only fair thing was to split it in four parts. They were epic and unique for their time. All of them four!

[@RazielXSR]

Dio is the superior vocalist. Very few heavy metal singers can compare to his grasp of using the human voice for harmonic melody. With that said, Ozzy has a presence to his voice, and it is completely unique. As Vin said, it is amazing that Sabbaths sound changed so much just from the switch from Ozzy to Dio. It's no surprise that either one of them don't want to sing songs from the others era, because the songs don't fit each others style.

[@robreynolds9349]

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.

[@khellendross3573]

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!

[@johnathanmartin1504]

Robert Knight in this very comment section talked about this: ""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." Shiva, aka the universe is also called "the great dancer". Dio was into various religious iconography like that. So Dio probably meant the universe, in other words, people in need. If you don't bleed for them you won't have any real meaning in your life.

[@craigratajczak6721]

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.

[@ChicagoTRS]

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.

[@DarrenBushnall68]

Met the guy once and had quite a chat, one of the courteous, kindest gentlemen you could ever want to meet.

[@elkardona]

ChicagoTRS What else?... Ronnie is "Dio" God in italian.

[@ChicagoTRS]

My Dio story. I met him in the late 80s after a concert in California. Ronnie was famous for talking to every last fan that waited for him after shows. We got to talking and it came up that I was from Chicago, well Ronnie was a huge Chicago Bears fan so we talked Bears for a few minutes. Well maybe 3 years later I got a chance to meet him again...he immediately recognized me and was like "Chicago!"...I could not believe that this guy who probably meets thousands upon thousands of people every year remembered me. We picked up our conversation right from where we left off years earlier. If you listen to some of the tributes/remembrances from other metal personalities you will find Dio always counseled others to be great to their fans. With Dio it was always about you - he truly was a giver. Come to find out he also had like a perfect recall memory and so many had similar experiences with him where he remembered what would seem to be trivial things from conversations years earlier.

[@martintrorey5901]

[@MRSludgedude]

[@randomnstoned966]

[@TylerQuantrill]

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.

[@phillipcslayerozz1435]

DIO had his treatments in Houston I met him once my aunt was working at that hospital I went to visit my aunt I saw him I stunned shocked I didn't wanna bother him so i threw my horns at him with a huge smile he asked to come to him I was wearing my Metallica concert shirt I told Dio I'm sorry I didn't wanna bother he said its no bother he autographed my t-shirt Dio is the greatest guy when he passed I fuckin cried

[@TylerQuantrill]

Phillip Cavazos that is an awesome story man, a memory that will definitely stay with you. It probably meant a lot to him to see a fan when he was sat in the same room all day, and it was awesome that you got to meet him before he passed. He seemed like a humble guy and that story really shows that. RIP Ronnie Dio, a true fuckin' legend. \m/

[@helekin2000]

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)

[@joelgreenlee9421]

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!!!

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.

[@Combat9259]

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!

[@SylviusTheMad]

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).

[@davidstott2534]

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.

[@monicajean37]

+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*

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.

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.

Ozzy's "whinyness" in his voice is kind of his trademark. It's not for everybody, I suppose. But Dio is the superior singer in pretty much every aspect. There's not even a discussion about it. He's one of the alltime greats of rock/metal vocalists. You might want to check out his earlier work in Rainbow (Stargazer) or his Solo stuff (Rainbow in the Dark, Don't Talk to Strangers). He was also an extremely interesting perosn. There's a short interview of him on youtube where he talks about the messianic meaning of his well known song Holy Diver and his stuggle with Catholicism. Might be an interesting bit of footage for you guys :)

I was at work today wondering what you guys were going to react to today. Might be a Sabbath day, Heaven and He'll maybe? I came home for lunch and checked my phone and I was right.🤘Love the song and good reaction. I loved it when Vin said "This guy blows Ozzy away" Dio has always been an interesting song writer. It doesn't want to make it too obvious. He wants you to think.

[@OGPokey151]

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

The thing about this song is that it is part of the album Heaven and Hell. This song does stand up very well in it of itself however, this song is part of an album that is heard best when listened to as a whole.... Many metal albums from the 70's and 80's were like that. Now days, bands write songs... They used to write albums.

[@flickerman68]

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.

[@Nichwar19]

Ahah didnt expect that

[@mix6809]

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...

[@thoughtcriminal3843]

Vin and Sori, check out Black Sabbath - A National Acrobat, a great track that usually isn't mentioned among Black Sabbath's greats.

[@AndersStenmalm]

You two are doing what we always wished for !

ozzy did write for sabbath, 99.9% of songs from their albums with ozzy actually have all 4 members credited as writers. ozzy used too much drugs and alcohol and it was getting out of hand. sharon, who became his wife soon after this, was working for his manager at the time, and i think it was her who tried to save his life by getting him out of the band. then he pursued solo career, eventually coming back to sabbath for reunions and finally came back for good to record one last studio album with sabbath. when ozzy left, few amazing vocalists went through band, but no one ever filled ozzy's shoes. at least for me. dio is considered as one of the godfathers of metal, and he is, but ozzy just had the most fitting vocals for sabbath's music. dio came just after ozzy and he did the best job in post-ozzy sabbath era, for sure. they moved a little bit towards more classic heavy metal, and dio's iconic vocals helped a lot. rip dio.

[@supasoulproductions1333]

The manager to whom you refer was Sharon's father. She actually took over Ozzy's management when he went solo.

[@dweezilbettencourt9156]

This was my first introduction to Sabbath when I was young. I only knew Ozzy as a solo artist. I didnt discover his era of the band until after. Everyone has their choice. To me, Dio era will always mean more to me. So much more energy and Dio's vocal is beyond what Ozzy could ever acheive. Musician was stepped up a notch and a half. But again, to each their own. Great review and great converstaion afterward.

[@soakedbearrd]

Yeah it’s night and day, or should I say heaven or hell

[@6lillium]

I'm not sure how old your subscribers are, but I'm probably in the top end (50). I know people love Ozzy, but more bands from metal ( in the 80s) were influenced by Dio era Black Sabbath ( and Rainbow for that matter) than earlier Sabbath... Something about RJD allowed Black Sabbath to take the NEXT step....my 2 cents

[@adelardj7026]

I'm 26 and I think you are totally right, Dio is my favorite singer ever! I know his work from Black Sabbath, Elf, Rainbow, Dio and later Black Sabbath called Heaven and Hell. He was a genius!

[@antoniocarlin5026]

Im 43 ...and I dont like Ozzy¡¡ Tony Iommi IS Black Sabbath¡¡

[@antoniocarlin5026]

40 years yesterday from this Gem¡¡ Dio the best Black Sabbath Vocals¡

[@AlanMDee]

I would suggest The Mob Rules by Dio era Black Sabbath

[@ClaudiaPearl]

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

[@redhotchilifan98]

Dio was one of the all time best metal vocalists and as much as i love ozzy i prefered him in sabbath i was he was still alive but you guys gotta check his solo stuff holy diver by dio

[@n3Cr0ManCeD]

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.

[@jasonsuter13]

Does anyone else think dio could of fitted straight into iron maiden like a glove, not that bruce could be replaced but i would love to of seen it🤘😁

[@sergejmiladinovic1181]

Yeah, Dio and Bruce have a very similar style of singing, heavily inspired by classical opera and storytelling theatrics.

[@arefxp]

Temple of the king, Man on the silver mountain -Rainbow, Dio era. Two of his best vocal work

[@sandro07warrior]

Masterpiece!

[@phillyboyfloyd7050]

It is impossible to not move your head and body to this song.my favorite album of all time

[@kentaprestberg7524]

Goddamn, Sori is so beautiful.

[@DemonTom]

Keep you hands to yourself sir. Vin is a lucky fella!

[@beermetal2003]

Don't think it was his hands

[@DemonTom]

Your right. Elbows make far more sense. They're pointy.
