[@drew65sep]

Absolutely he was...still is. Arguably right up there with Geddy Lee and Cliff Burton to me.

[@PerpetualArt]

@@drew65sep + He's as good as Cliff Burton, and I am not cutting down CB, but his body of work is very minimal. Geezer on the other hand has been at this since the mid 60s, thats alot of years.

[@budgiemcleod4443]

Give me a break! Cliff Burton has nothing on Geezer Butler. Aside from a few solos here and there, his bass playing wasn't all that everyone claims it was. Sorry guys but Cliff is overrated. If he was still alive he'd be about as relevant a bass player as Frank Bello. Listen to Metallica and then listen to Geezer on "die young" or "TV crimes" and you'll see that Cliff doesn't even come close.

[@charlottevictoria.hubbard7472]

Geezers bass is unbelievable.

Charlotte Victoria. Hubbard At the start of the show, the mids and lows were punishing. I met the sound guy and he leveled things out thankfully. Twas a wonderful evening

I’m a bass player, Geezer was and still is the reason I got into the bass. I started out playing the guitar 🎸 and a bro I used to jam with in high school played bass, told me I was a natural at the bass whenever I would fuck around with his axe. I have big hands, those long fingers helped a lot in nailing down those fat strings. Being 6’3” has its bennyz. I been covering Geezer’s riffs forever, that’s probably the origin of my own style. Geez fuckin kills it every time! Long live Metal!

[@tjhooker824]

His bass playing has always been top tir stuff

[@manfredleupold5505]

I saw Peter Baltes, Chris Glen, Lemmy, Roger Glover, and more. Who’s the best? I don’t know. I know that Dio was and is unreachable. Nevertheless I saw a lot of really good Vocalists.

Vinny just kills this as he is truly a BEAST on drums ! Everything he plays is just so perfect and timely on everything. A METAL GOD ON DRUMS !

[@spiralcity]

I always thought he was the weak link. Definitely no Bill Ward, that's for sure.

[@megadeel]

@@spiralcity You have to be out of your mind ! Bill Ward was really good but Vinny is so distinct and has a signature style and feel like no other rock/metal drummer and fits this band better than anyone possibly could !

[@spiralcity]

I guess if you like plodding, basic drumming. I truly don't understand why you think he's so unique. He's tight, which is good, but boring. Ward was a creative drummer. But hey, to each his own.

[@megadeel]

@@spiralcity Vinny's drumming stands out above and beyond most all rock drummers. Most anyone that wants to hire a great drummer to play on their album hires him. His catalog says plenty. Plus he is one of the coolest and most humble big time guys I have ever met.

[@HolyMuscleOfLove]

Bill jazzy style is perfect for 70's Sabbath, but Vinny Appice is more versatille, and much better playing classic heavy metal. He and Dio made an amazing team. He's one of the greatest drummers alive, but very underrated.

[@tonedeafsinger3936]

Dio had such a beautiful control over the voice. Remarkable singer and musician. There are so many fine details in this piece that could be analyzed forever, but just to point something small, still beautiful: from 1:08 starts a long "baaaaaaaaaaaall". Now, its first straight, although very strong and well supported, sound and then after 2/3 released to a very accurate operatic vibrato. A great example how a great singer can control his voice... and effortlessly.
