on born again album ian gillan from deep purple is vocalist. tony martin did 4 albums with sabbath- the eternal idol, headless cross, tyr and cross purposes-some great songs on those albums! my fav sabbath singer is dio but my fav sabbath period iz 70's with ozzy. ozzy's voice was great for 70's sabbath songs, they sounded like from some horror movie and sick. with dio they are more evil but dio sounds great on most ozzy songs while i can't imagine ozzy singing a dio sabbath song. after sabbath i really don't like ozzy at all but dio's albums were great

I know nothing of Black Sabbath, honestly. I like their hits but that's it. All I know is I love Dio and will follow anything that he is on.

Hi Yara.
I´m doing great, thanks for asking! You?
Yeah it´s out...go get it goddamnit :)! It´s a really really solid album but as always it´s nowhere near the old stuff, and by that I mean ,of course, the Ozzy stuff.
For many MANY years I just couldn´t stand RJD, basicly due to Holy Diver, I think.
Young and dumb I bought the Heaven and Hell album, sat it for a spin only to realise it wasn´t Ozzy singing.
OH THE AGONY.
Then I bought The Mob Rules album, well same thing here. Who the hell is this guy...HAHA, he´s tiny! Like a Italian smurf.
But then I really gave it a go and I´m glad I did cause most of the DIO-SABBATH stuff is awesome. Even the Born Again album with Tony Martin(is it?) is a favourite album of mine. The Black Sabbath feat. Tony Iommi kind of wierd albums other than that, I haven´t really bothered to listen to. Is there anyone who can give me a verdict on those album it´d be much appreciated.
And Yara! If you haven´t heared MEGALOMANIA with the original four Sabs, I highly recomend it. Mystical metal at it´s finest.
Take care!

Hi there, Henke! I'm doing just fine. I hope you had a very good weekend!
I hung around the mall today and bought the Heaven and Hell's album. Judging from what I had the chance to listen to so far, I guess I'm gonna just love it!!!
Thank you so much for the tip! I think I'm going to listen to it a lot, it's really an interesting album. I'm happy with the tips I've been getting recently. :-))))
I just love Megalomania, the song. I thought about listening to it again and typed the name of the song into the youtube search box. There's a wonderful, full live version of the song from the mid-70's which is so beautifully played and performed that I found myself smiling and in awe during the whole piece, which clocks in at nine minutes plus!! :op
It's from a concert in New Jersey on 8/5/1975, it seems. You likely have already watched it, but I thought it'd be nice linking it for people who don't know the song, or this version, yet.
Sorry all you guys if this comes across as out of place or annoying.
Thanks a whole lot again, Henke, and I wish you the very best. I wish the very best for all you guys too. I hope you had a great weekend!
