Dio had a long and successful career. Please check out Dio songs such as The Last In Line, We Rock, Egypt (The Chains Are On), Holy Diver and Sunset Superman. Before his 3 brief stints with Black Sabbath (last iteration was in the mid-2000's and they called it Heaven & Hell), he had a brief and amazing time with the band Rainbow with guitarist Ritchie Blackmore in the mid-70's. Songs such as Man on the Silver Mountain, Stargazer, Sixteenth Century Greensleeves were totally amazing.
If You think this was good, You need to hear Ronnie James Dio in Rainbow with the epic, most wanted song on TH-cam - "Stargazer"! Sorry I can't buy You a cup of coffee, but have a bottle of water from me, for free! I would LOVE to see Your reaction to it, so please search for "Stargazer" Live from Munich, with the insanely exceptional performers in Rainbow! Enjoy Yourself! 🤘♥
This is the 2nd version of the band. Ozzie was the original singer. He left the band for his solo career and Dio replaced him. There are other line ups also. Respect to Ozzie as a founder of the band but Ronnie was just an amazing singer and too soon lost from this earth.
There's a lot of opinions on the matter, but many people consider Black Sabbath to be the first heavy metal album. But it's all matter of where you draw the line.
They were the first band to utilize Metal in their music as a genre but they weren't the first band to use metal.I would say Helter Skelter by the Beatles would be the first metal song.
@@markastoforoff7838 I hate this terrible opinion, if you are going there why is this more metal than Blue Cheer whose album was recorded in 1967 and released in Jan 1968, 10 months before Helter Skelter was? The only reason I can come up with is you think the Beatles invented everything.
Yep, pretty sure I listened to the entire album the first time with my mouth hanging open in complete, utter shock. From the opening bars of Neon Knights, I was hooked. 🤩😍
Mob Rules is no slouch with epics like Sign of the Southern Cross and my fave, Falling off the Edge of the World! Dio era Sabbath is honestly my favorite. I miss Ronnie so much! 💔 🤘
As Much As I Love Ozzy Years, Dio is My Favorite Singer, And this May Be my Favorite Metal Song. Just the Lyrics Ronnie James Dio Writes, Are Pure Poetry.
Pause all you want brother. Its a reaction video, most of us aren't here solely for the music, we can do that anytime and anywhere.. We're here for your interpretation. Rock on, its a lifestyle that's dying.. tap into it while you still can.
I have a little different idea in terms of definition….to me, a “reaction” is when you let it play and we watch the emotional expressions and hear the quick vocal reactions as it plays…pausing a couple times here and there if more than a few words really need to be said…..anything more than that is an “analysis”. Just the way I see and feel about it.
A tiny man with an explosive huge voice. He is deeply missed. You're question, Did he start the devil horns hand sign? His grandmother did that to scare off evil spirits and he took it to the stage. Many say he was the first!
His hand gesture not only means long live rock, but his grandma used to do that gesture to ward off evil, so he adapted that as his signature move, so to speak. Awesome musician along with tony iommi and geezer butler.
If you enjoyed this performance by Ronnie James Dio, you definitely need to check out the live version of the song Stargazer, which he sang when he was with the band Rainbow. You will gain a lot more appreciation for his legendary voice. Small in stature, but huge voice. As for more Black Sabbath, definitely need to check out War Pigs. Incredible song.
But check out the DIO version. Or check out Ozzy than type in 'Dio-War Pigs' and see Dio sing it with Sabbath and you'll see how it was SUPPOSED to sound. All Ozzy era songs the vocals are the same tune as the riff, BECAUSE OZZY CAN'T SING! Ronnie wrote as a musician, a vocalist, a talent, not just a drunken clown on stage. There's a video of Dio and Ozzy singing War Pigs as a duet that's kind of fun to watch! You can see Ozzys weak, frail voice, than Dios POWERHOUSE vocals come in. Quite a difference!
@@karenlazenby6440 Ronnie's version of Children of the Grave from Live Evil is just about my top favorite song of all time. I can hear it over and over again. I have played it twice in a row on many many occasions!
Great job! The lead guitar player is Tony iommi (eye-OWE-me), who by consensus, is the creative genius who invented metal in 1969, and who fired Ozzy and hired Dio. I suggest you check out a lyric video of War Pigs, Symptom of the Universe, as well as Lonely Is the Word. The brilliant bass player is Geezer Butler.
I saw This line up of Sabbath with Dio in 81, he was outstanding commanded the stage and just WOW his voice, it never faltered even at the last few concerts he ever played he was a powerful singer with a great stage presence. Tony Iommi has always been underated as a guitarist, and Geezer Bulters Bass, he often played the lead lines with Tony playing rhythm. Dio though is simply one of the best rock singers ever, RIP Ronnie
Saw them on this tour in 1980 when I was 15. This is my favorite version of Black Sabbath, nothing wrong with the Ozzy version either. Loved Black Sabbath and Dio when he was in Rainbow so I knew I'd love this version of the band. Also love The Sign of the Southern Cross from the Mob Rules album. Saw Sabbath with Ozzy before they kicked him out also.
I saw this line up twice. Once 1982 in Long Beach and in 1980 Summer Blowout at the LA Coliseum. I saw the original line up in 1976 at the Providence Civic Center. Montrose opened for them.
At 5' 4", Dio was a GIANT on stage. This is awesome you're discovering this. Heaven and Hell is a literal monolith of Heavy Metal. Sabbath had a lot to prove when they sacked Ozzy. Needless to say, EVERYONE took notice.
Black sabbath are not "A" metal band they are "The" Metal band, Godfathers of it all. War Pigs remains till this day my favourite of all time and is as old as I am. recommendations are war pigs, paranoid, sabbath Bloody sabbath, Black sabbath, fairies wear boot, NIB amongst others. I am fortunate to have seen them live twice in Dublin Ireland.
@Karen Lazenby very subjective thing ,very much a matter of opinion . Was there at the beginning and still love the soul in Ozzys voice compared with the clean pure sound of Dio.
You've just discovered "the granddaddy of metal". Technically the older version w/ Ozzy was the dawn of that - often Ozzy was called the "Godfather of Metal". Dio had definite stage presence. Rodney James Dio was a true performer - very theatrical. You commented on his vocal capability. Most fans and critics agree he had one of the greatest of all time metal voices - top 5 pretty much across the board. Probably top 3. And yah Dio, pretty much started the "devil horns rock on" hand signal. You are turning into a true metal head my guy!!! This is a good thing! We love embracing new fans. One thing about metal fans - most of us are truly some of the nicest people around - truly. I know that seems counterpoint to popular belief but many metal fans are "outcasts" in some form or fashion or were at some point, and so most of us just want to embrace and be embraced as a sort of brotherhood. My wife and I took my son (18) to an Iron Maiden show last week. It was his first metal concert. He told me he was amazed by how truly friendly and genuine everyone seemed. (recent season of Stranger Things illustrated perfectly how headbangers from the 80s were perceived vs reality).
Awesome to take your kids to music concerts ❤. My parents took me concerts in 70s , alot mellow stuff Bob Dylan, Joni Michel. Grew up listening to yarbirds, cream, Zeppelin, of course Black Sabbath. 🤟❤
Wow! Thank you for reacting to this! I'm a long time Dio fan and have grown to appreciate Ozzy more over the years. Most of of all, I appreciate your fresh and objective view of Dio's contribution to Black Sabbath and I agree with your comments 100%. As someone who has listened to Dio and Black Sabbath for so long, I greatly value your fresh perspective. I would love to hear your reaction to anything Dio has done with Richie Blackmore's Rainbow's work.
I love seeing 1st reactions to things ive listened to and performed, for most of life. And seeing folks not normally exposed to our music. Awesome. So glad you enjoyed this, and i do hope you explore more of it. This is just the tip of the iceberg
In my opinion there are two Black Sabbath eras that matter, the Ozzy and the Dio years. Dio is such a powerful singer. Dio had a long fantastic career. My favorite is during the years he was with Rainbow, check out the song "Stargazer" it is epic. More Black Sabbath is definitely wanted. Mix in Deep Purple as well.
Hey Tony Martin has some good albums. Headless Cross and Tyr especially imo. The Eternal Idol and Cross Purposes are good too. Forbidden is a dumpster fire tho.
After Ozzy left for his solo career Dio pretty much carried Sabbath. His voice is still unlike anything Metal has now. Sabbath had other great singers. This was one of their biggest hits. Iommi was the heart and soul of Sabbath.
The internation is unbelievable, he hits every note, also when he improvises he hits the exact note! It is really unbelievable! He was born with this voice.
Ronnie James Dio said the same thing about heaven and hell existing inside all of us. "Die Young" is another Dio-era Black Sabbath song to check out. Dino Jelusick does a good cover of it, but when you hear Ronnie sing it, you're going to soil your jeans!
The guitar player is named Tony Iommi. He is personally responsible for Heavy Metal. He played every riff used in Metal ever since Black Sabbath. The man has cult-like-following.
I was lucky enough to see Dio twice live; once when I was 14 the night before my graduation, and once in my thirties. I remember almost everything, and how I felt. He was a true showman who commanded the crowd and his vocals are unmatched (in my opinion).
The " Rise Of The ELF"!! BEGAN With Being Selected By RITCHIE BLACKMORE, For New Side-project,Called Rainbow!! His Early Eighties,SOLO Run With Vivian CAMPBELL, ON GUITAR WAS , AMAZING, "HOLY-DIVER" ,STILL STANDS AS A TOP-TEN METAL BEAST,To This DAY!!'✌️😎🎸🎶🎵🎶😁
I live where he was born in NY. Met him a bunch of times at his uncle Al’s music shop in cortland NY. 15 year old me in 1986 ish was awestruck. He was such a cool dude.
When Toni Iommi was young he cut off the tips if his fingers on his left hand in a meat processing plant where he worked. he came up using soft sewing thimbles over his fingers to play. They can be seen at 20:43 in this video. That is some dedication to ones craft.
In Detroit we call Ronnie James Dio little man with the golden voice . I first got introduced him with a band called rainbow and grew up listening to Ozzy Osbourne singing for black sabbath. When Ronnie James Dio joined Sabbath for his short time I was skeptical but he showed nothing but class and respect for that band.
The Song is from 1980 and i was 13 years old the first time - welcome to my Metalworld for more than 40 years - i'm 54 years old and love this music, the Best Music on this Planet - greeting from Germany
DIOl was one of the best all-time singers that ever lived for heavy metal or any genre. And he did bring that hand symbol to the heavy metal community. He actually took it from his grandmother which is supposedly supposed to be some form of Italian folklore to do warning off evil spirits. Anyway other songs you must hear him sing are Sign of the Southern Cross , Children of the Sea or Neon nights. Or you can look up Rainbow and check out songs like Man on the Silver Mountain,. His ultra versatile side of singing the melodic song Catch the Rainbow or you can hear him sing Long live Rock and Roll or Gates of Babylon. Then there's his solo stuff especially the Holy Diver album. Holy Diver, Stand up and Shout, Rainbow in the Dark and especially another very versatile song Don't talk to S.trangers highly recommend. Anyway he was a true legend RIP - 😇❤️ and he still is to the heavy metal community and will always be.
I first saw black sabbath in 1970. my abiding memory is ozzy leaping around the stage like a madman, and tony standing stock still ripping the place apart with his solo's.
Black Sabbath with Ozzy is hell, with Ronny James Dio its heaven😎 a voice like an archangel... Everything with Dio is heaven, especially Richi Blackmores Rainbow: Besides the Irons sure pure Epicness.... Try Stargazer live in Munich 1973 with Rainbow, a song and performance for eternity 🌈
I’m probably the first of many who will suggest going back in time a bit and listening to the Ozzy era. Sabbath was already on the downswing by this point, despite Dio’s vocal prowess. Not knocking this Dio era, but the Ozzy era is when they basically created heavy metal from scratch.
@@rick5440 I think we can all agree that Sabbaths legend was already sealed by the time Dio came around. Not knocking Dio. Great singer. But it is what it is man. These albums sound like Dio albums, not Sabbath albums.
Dio is a vocal god. Since his passing there is a new band from Los Angeles that you might want to take a look at. The band is Liliac and they do "Holy Diver" a Dio cover. They are a group of siblings. You won't regret is...
I was 19 years old first time with "Ronny James Dio" I was 16 when i seen them for the first time live. Always a major event with Black Sabbath. Two of my favorite concerts.
Polo, you're such a positive person and as such, you can appreciate more of what the world has to offer. You're reactions have such a complexity to them that people could actually react to your reactions. Peace I hope you'll have time to check out Marques Scott, Let Me Love You. As well as his Time Control series with Poppin John.
I really dig that you take the time to read the lyrics first. I had the pleasure back in 1984 going to a bbq at dios's house when he was friends with a buddy of mine in the band Angeles. Great reaction!
Those instruments plus that voice...classic. RIP Ronnie 🤘 (by the way it's really cool seeing someone discover music you've known and loved forever. Your Iron Maiden reaction and this one got a sub out of me. You really get it!)
Rock In Peace Ronnie James Dio.🤘🤘I saw this tour live and the second for Mob Rules and I've talked with Ronnie about baseball 3 times. No cell phones back then but I have backstage passes and photos. Most of all, I miss my friend.
1982 there was no internet ... you had to go see the concerts ...so glad I grew up in the 70s and 80s....the world now is shitty...the good old days is truth
You hit the nail on the head !. Heaven and Hell does indeed live inside us all. This video is a year old. So, Ozzy was definitely great and Ozzy's voice was the face of Black Sabbath. There's only one Dio, but there was only one Ozzy. I have watched some of your other video's and would like to hear you have a listen to Black Sabbath song called "Air Dance" from the "Never Say Die" album. Ozzy is great both in concert and studio. I say that because on the Never Say Die album is when Ozzy had taken off for months and shows up literally in the 11th hour to lay down the vocals for that album. One of many reasons why Tony Iommi (lead guitarist) wanted Ozzy to depart after they toured that album. But Ozzy's vocals are pristine on that album none the less. I've never heard that song live, but it's not like Ozzy couldn't have sung it live, considering he was singing "Spiralarchitect" live quite well and that song requires great breathe control as does many Sabbath songs from Ozzy era Sabbath. 8 albums with Ozzy. Ozzy wrote their song "Black Sabbath." I hot to see Black Sabbath with Dio during the H&H tour. And no, they are not Satan worshippers in the least. They're actually Christians. They are no false light or any of that rubbish I've heard so-called Christians repeat over the decades.

Ozzy was a singer. Dio was a force of nature.
Glad you noticed Geezer. Awesome song writer and bass player.
Yes but dio wrote this 1🤘
Force of nature..yep that sounds about right.
When you listen to the studio version you're going to be blown away.
I agree, studio is so good.
Agree too!!! This man can sing ANYTHING!!!
Hate to say it, but yeah.. Studio version is 100 times better. Love live music.. but Studio is unbelievable.
Best version is off of "Live Evil".
Studio is great but too short… I like the added sections and improvisational bits in the live version
Dio is to whom all metal singers are compared. He was the complete package: charisma, vocal chops, stage presence, and lyrics!
Shooting fireballs like a level 43 dungeon master? No, Dio was a tool.
Five foot four, sang like he's 10 foot.
The entire heaven and hell album is 🔥 🔥
Yep, pretty sure I listened to the entire album the first time with my mouth hanging open in complete, utter shock. From the opening bars of Neon Knights, I was hooked. 🤩😍

Dio was the greatest metal vocalist ever. Period. Game. Set. Match.

A Dio performance that I think he was at his best, check out the Rainbow 1977 Munich concert, the song "Mistreated". His vocals are insane.
That one and 'Man on the Silver Mountain' from the 1977 Munich concert, the 14:45 minute long version. PERFECTION.
The guitar player is named Tony Iommi. He is personally responsible for Heavy Metal. He played every riff used in Metal ever since Black Sabbath. The man has cult-like-following.
Great reaction! I loved when you said if you don't me pausing, I don't care, lol. That made my morning.
I'm glad you have opened up and expanded your music preferences.
I was lucky enough to see Dio twice live; once when I was 14 the night before my graduation, and once in my thirties. I remember almost everything, and how I felt. He was a true showman who commanded the crowd and his vocals are unmatched (in my opinion).
Polo you are right. I was there in Seattle at this concert and I will never forget it. April 23 1982 Mob Rules Tour Seattle Center Arena.
14 seconds in & I'm like 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣❤️❤️🔥
Great great reaction…….congrats on you hearing this for ur 1st time…💪👍✌️

I live where he was born in NY. Met him a bunch of times at his uncle Al’s music shop in cortland NY. 15 year old me in 1986 ish was awestruck. He was such a cool dude.
Watching you watch this for the first time is 🤘🤘🤘🤘
Yes please check the studio recording. You’ll be glad you did.
Damn...would have loved to meet the man and just have a conversation. Rip...Ronnie.
Ronnie is a fucking legend🤟
When Toni Iommi was young he cut off the tips if his fingers on his left hand in a meat processing plant where he worked. he came up using soft sewing thimbles over his fingers to play. They can be seen at 20:43 in this video. That is some dedication to ones craft.
Dio was amazing and been to 4 concerts of his . And i still have the same reaction you do even after hes gone.
In Detroit we call Ronnie James Dio little man with the golden voice . I first got introduced him with a band called rainbow and grew up listening to Ozzy Osbourne singing for black sabbath. When Ronnie James Dio joined Sabbath for his short time I was skeptical but he showed nothing but class and respect for that band.
love Black Sabbath. Love your reaction.🥰
The Song is from 1980 and i was 13 years old the first time - welcome to my Metalworld for more than 40 years - i'm 54 years old and love this music, the Best Music on this Planet - greeting from Germany
Vivian Cambell was on guitar rudy sarzo bass guitar awesome concert vivian caught his guitar on 🔥 fire
DIOl was one of the best all-time singers that ever lived for heavy metal or any genre. And he did bring that hand symbol to the heavy metal community. He actually took it from his grandmother which is supposedly supposed to be some form of Italian folklore to do warning off evil spirits. Anyway other songs you must hear him sing are Sign of the Southern Cross , Children of the Sea or Neon nights. Or you can look up Rainbow and check out songs like Man on the Silver Mountain,. His ultra versatile side of singing the melodic song Catch the Rainbow or you can hear him sing Long live Rock and Roll or Gates of Babylon. Then there's his solo stuff especially the Holy Diver album. Holy Diver, Stand up and Shout, Rainbow in the Dark and especially another very versatile song Don't talk to S.trangers highly recommend. Anyway he was a true legend RIP - 😇❤️ and he still is to the heavy metal community and will always be.
you got the meaning perfectly....it's exactly what Dio said it meant to him when he wrote it.
Can't stop watching POLO !!! No going back METAL is ???............
Love peace n RESPECT xxx
Great reaction. This is a epic song by BS. This fine voice was lead vocals when I saw them in concert, Kansas City 1980.
Listen to Black Sabbath Children of the Sea Dio Singing thanks for the time
First time You listen to Sababath, and You got everything that made this great, You know music!
I first saw black sabbath in 1970. my abiding memory is ozzy leaping around the stage like a madman, and tony standing stock still ripping the place apart with his solo's.
Yes, you are exactly right. That is how you command the stage.
There's only one word for this song ... Epic. Long Live Rock N Roll and The Memory of Ronnie James Dio.
Black Sabbath with Ozzy is hell, with Ronny James Dio its heaven😎 a voice like an archangel... Everything with Dio is heaven, especially Richi Blackmores Rainbow: Besides the Irons sure pure Epicness.... Try Stargazer live in Munich 1973 with Rainbow, a song and performance for eternity 🌈
I’m probably the first of many who will suggest going back in time a bit and listening to the Ozzy era. Sabbath was already on the downswing by this point, despite Dio’s vocal prowess. Not knocking this Dio era, but the Ozzy era is when they basically created heavy metal from scratch.
The Dio era was a different Sabbath, but still as relevant. Many young rockers pointed to the Dio influenced era as their inspiration.
@@rick5440 I think we can all agree that Sabbaths legend was already sealed by the time Dio came around. Not knocking Dio. Great singer. But it is what it is man. These albums sound like Dio albums, not Sabbath albums.
Dio never fails. Range, power, presence. Geezer Butler is one of the greatest bassists to ever grace a stage - bar none.
Dio is a vocal god. Since his passing there is a new band from Los Angeles that you might want to take a look at. The band is Liliac and they do "Holy Diver" a Dio cover. They are a group of siblings. You won't regret is...
I was 19 years old first time with "Ronny James Dio"
I was 16 when i seen them for the first time live. Always a major event with Black Sabbath. Two of my favorite concerts.
I'm almost positive. This is the Meadow lands in New Jersey and I was there and I will never forget it. It was incredible.
Polo, you're such a positive person and as such, you can appreciate more of what the world has to offer.
You're reactions have such a complexity to them that people could actually react to your reactions.
Peace
I hope you'll have time to check out Marques Scott, Let Me Love You.
As well as his Time Control series with Poppin John.
I really dig that you take the time to read the lyrics first. I had the pleasure back in 1984 going to a bbq at dios's house when he was friends with a buddy of mine in the band Angeles. Great reaction!
I love your reactions to this old school metal!!
Singing through his hands... DMN STRAIGHT!!!!
Those instruments plus that voice...classic. RIP Ronnie 🤘 (by the way it's really cool seeing someone discover music you've known and loved forever. Your Iron Maiden reaction and this one got a sub out of me. You really get it!)
Rock In Peace Ronnie James Dio.🤘🤘I saw this tour live and the second for Mob Rules and I've talked with Ronnie about baseball 3 times. No cell phones back then but I have backstage passes and photos. Most of all, I miss my friend.
SHINE BRIGHT MR RONNIE JAMES DIO !!! KEEP IT ROCKING .. Thank you for leaving us urr GIFT xx love n peace huge RESPECT xxx
1982 there was no internet ... you had to go see the concerts ...so glad I grew up in the 70s and 80s....the world now is shitty...the good old days is truth
Love POLO Theres no way back hes on the LOUD N winding road xxx
This album helped define my teen/young adult years. Don't stop my dude :)
Black Sabbath is the blueprint to metal!
DIO is one of the best singer ever in hardrock ! R.I.P. DIO we miss you !!! (love from Sweden)
You hit the nail on the head !. Heaven and Hell does indeed live inside us all. This video is a year old. So, Ozzy was definitely great and Ozzy's voice was the face of Black Sabbath. There's only one Dio, but there was only one Ozzy. I have watched some of your other video's and would like to hear you have a listen to Black Sabbath song called "Air Dance" from the "Never Say Die" album. Ozzy is great both in concert and studio. I say that because on the Never Say Die album is when Ozzy had taken off for months and shows up literally in the 11th hour to lay down the vocals for that album. One of many reasons why Tony Iommi (lead guitarist) wanted Ozzy to depart after they toured that album. But Ozzy's vocals are pristine on that album none the less. I've never heard that song live, but it's not like Ozzy couldn't have sung it live, considering he was singing "Spiralarchitect" live quite well and that song requires great breathe control as does many Sabbath songs from Ozzy era Sabbath. 8 albums with Ozzy. Ozzy wrote their song "Black Sabbath." I hot to see Black Sabbath with Dio during the H&H tour. And no, they are not Satan worshippers in the least. They're actually Christians. They are no false light or any of that rubbish I've heard so-called Christians repeat over the decades.
What a way to start with Black Sabbath, brutal, raw and astonishing performance from the band, DIO, IOMMI; BUTLER, APPICE. As epic as epic can be.
