@@scottbarker9058 Sabbath had already invented, defined and perfected it by 75. JP released Sad Wings in 76. Priest added the leather looks and image, not the sound. To say that Sabbath were never metal is highly retarded bro. Born Again, Dehumanizer is heavier than anything Priest released
It is what made them so good. The early stuff is so spectacular, not rock or "metal" but like an English Blues/Jazz hybrid that influenced music to this day.
@@scottschreiber7566 It did have a blues component during the solos and some of the riffs, not all. But there was a big Metal part of Sabbath that was heavier than anything ever made. Van Halen, Pantera, and Metallica among just a few, as well as me, were influenced by this heavy metal tone. Not the blues part of it that I am not a fan of. Keep rocking and enjoy it. 🎸
Ронни, мы никогда вас не забудем, никто и никогда так не будет петь, как вы. Покойтесь с миром и услаждайте ангелов своим пением. Long live rock and roll
Ronnie James dio in my opinion was the world's most important lead vocals , ever known in heavy metal music history . His death was a great lost . So he lives in heavy metal heaven , in compannion with others ,singing a brand knew song for us. God bless heavy metal music till the world ends , folks, let there be the rock your guiding light !!!! Yeah !!!!!!

@@jvidalw have you ever seen Ronnie James dio live ? I did , and i know it . Very well . His voice so stong , just like a record . That's for sure , and i will never forget that day. It was the only day in my lifetime that i saw him singing .... Heaven & Hell. !!!! Heavy metal god blessed me !!!!!
I was able to see DIO at MMF in the late 2000s before he passed away Motorhead also played the same day (RIP Lemmy). Lamentably, I couldn't enjoy Lemmy to the fullest since I was already very spent by DIO
This album & Iron Maiden's first album, are two of the best rock/metal albums ever produced. Other great bands that i believe hold that status (in rock/metal) are Rush & Queen. My opinion 👍🇬🇧
@@Paul-hl8yg Paul REGARDS!!! But first Rock-album is Black Sabbath/Black Sabbath. With storm. And the metal - album is Slayer -Reign'n'Blood. I saw them at 2010 in Warsaw - Sonispher Festival. Fuck, that was a PARADISE!!!!
@@Paul-hl8yg Both those albums were pioneers of the New Wave of British Heavy Metal. Two other solid classics from that year are Motorhead's Ace of Spades and Judas Priest's British Steel.
Neon knights is one of the best opening songs in history, everything is great on that song, the master of the moon and the master of vocals ronnie james dio, the best bass player in metal geezer butler, bill ward better than ever on drums, and tony iommi the greatest artist in metal history and the master of the guitar, together consisting the best and greatest metal band in history- black sabbath.
I remember dropping the needle on this album back in the day, and THIS song blared from the speakers - the opener on the album - and I couldn't believe the mountainous sound of thunder. Just floored. This was back in the day when you had NO CLUE what was on the album and hadn't heard any snippets of any songs, and hadn't read any reviews. You bought the album because you knew the gods who forged it - in this case, the mighty Ronnie James Dio from Rainbow had joined Sabbath (which was a great metal band with a douchebag vocalist up to that point) and now their way forward was forged in Olympus.
@@trtr-bc3zl They truly give another sound to metal, the distortion, the bass, it's not like any album, I've been listening many metal bands for years and this was the beginning.
His voice was unbelievably powerful. Effortlessly booming, barely needed a damn mile. Butler ,Ward and Iommi are responsible for the music that opened my eyes and changed my life. Without Sabbath the world would be a darker miserable place.
Your last sentence especially. Exactly. At the height of disco in the 70s, these rockers were holding the line of hard rock and defining the metal yet to come. Brilliant and powerful.
You realize it's not actually a live recording? They transition into the studio track almost immediately after the sings starts. Not trying trying to be a dick.
@@jetjaguar4285 I always thought it was two different tracks but you are right. They've slightly sped up the promo video vs what is on the LP making the it hard to synch the two.
its funny, my parents hate metal and i always saw it as "young people" music, being a teen in the late 2000s. On the other hand, my uncle likes it and my cousin who is 18 now thinks of it as dad music compared to trap music.
Late 1982. I was just out of NAVY bootcamp in Orlando. Was sent to MCAS El Toro near LA for some schooling. One night at the Enlistedmans Club a "tribute band" played. We arrived early. It was RJD in the time between Sabbath and Holy Diver.. He stepped up off the stage onto our table and sang "Man on the Silver Mountain".
By '79, Sabbath were pretty much at the 'end the road' as far as the first ten Ozzy years went. Then, it turns into a "win-win" situation for everyone. Sabbath picks-up Ronnie Dio and Ozzy gets introduced to Rhoads after Sharon cleans Ozzy up a little and creates the Blizzard of Ozz. Both parties bounced-back with a vengeance in 1980. As did AC/DC that same year with Brian Johnson on the phenomenal "Back In Black" right after Bon Scott had just recently passed. I was a junior in high school then. What a year, man. 😎👍🏻
If it wasn't for Ronnie James Dio, Black Sabbath probably would've broken up. He provided the creative spark this band needed and they created a fresh brand new sound going forward into the 80s. What a set of pipes this guy had! All of his work in Rainbow, Black Sabbath, and Dio is pure gold! It's too bad that him and the band didn't get along too well. Imagine the music they could've continued making to this day.
Yep. RJD was a major shot in the arm for Sabbath, at a time when they were really needing one. Those last 2 albums with Ozzy (Technical Ecstasy and Never Say Die) were pretty forgettable. No dis on Ozzy, it just wasn’t clicking with that lineup anymore. RJD came along and really breathed new life into them. I saw them on this tour and again a year later with Vinnie Appice on drums. Both shows were f’n great. Ronnie’s voice couldn’t be touched. He was a real one of a kind. I couldn’t get into anything Sabbath did after he left.
I've read Dio's autobiography! they'd kicked ozzy out and sabbath was about to break up, but Dio and Tony met by chance at a bar and Dio offered to sing and keep the band together, he really did save it!
@psyxech3408 I haven't read Ronnie’s autobiography but, that's the first time I've EVER heard that story. Back in the late 70's going into the 80's, it was known that Ronnie wanted to go solo after leaving Rainbow but his wife, Wendy, convinced him to hook up with Sabbath. She knew it would be a good stepping stone for the direction Ronnie wanted move in, in the first place. HEAVY! Rainbow was going more Pop with songs like "Long Live Rock 'n Roll". Ronnie saw what was coming with the NWOBHM and wanted to seize on that. But his wife didn't feel he was well established enough on his work with Rainbow alone. Joining Sabbath completely revitalized them AND gave Ronnie much needed exposure to the world. He was contracted for 3 albums. He did 'H&H' and 'TMR' then bailed out after Iommi released "Live Evil" without his approval on the final mix. Apparently Ronnie was unhappy with some of his performances that were used. Regardless, he was done with Black Sabbath and DIO was born, which carried him for nearly the next decade until he rejoined BS for "Dehumanizer". The man definitely has a long, lustrous history that all of us should be thankful for. RIP RJD ✌️💖
Without a doubt, one the most overlooked rock songs in history, when I talk to people who came of age in the late 70's early 80's and they dont know this song, I just shake my head !
This is one of the best album openers and also how you make an opening statement and Dio certainly made one hell of an opening statement on this awesome track
Second song 🎵 on the setlist @ Offenbach Stadthalle in June, 1980 after War Pigs. So many great songs on Heaven and Hell. A Renaissance and musical departure for Black Sabbath.
One of the greatest vocal performances in one of the greatest songs on one of the greatest albums by one of the greatest bands of all-time. It really doesn't get any better than this.
This was my first exposure to RJD and his multidinous bands. Over 40 years later, it hasn't lost anything - none of his tunes have. I'll be a fan until the day I follow him out.
This is the very first sabbath song with Dio that I've heard. I was 13, to be honest was in my birthday, the disc was a birthday gift from my father. This song changed my life and this CD is keept with my most precious things, because I'll give it to my first son, to keep the rock alive in my family.
I remember hearing this for first time when it came out, and being blown away, I seen Ronnie live on his first tour Holy Diver and Killing the Dragon, Ronnie is the greatest rock metal vocalist of all time, I was fortunate to see him live and be pretty close to the stage, it always amazed he was not a big man but what a set of massive pipes, Sabbath and DIO match made by the Metal Gods,
The second concert I saw was Van Halen opening for SABBATH at M.S.G N.Y.C in 78 BLACK SABBATH being my favorite band it breaks my heart to even think anybody would leave let alone the singer but I loved the three RAINBOW album's so I was really happy to hear how they came out with a great new sound the first two album's are a masterpiece and TONY MARTIN the first two album's are a masterpiece too TONY IOMMI is just one of the great one's so I was lucky to see DIO with SABBATH about six times and by his own but never saw him in RAINBOW . RAINBOW RISING is one of my favorite album's the last time I saw was at RADIO CITY MUSIC HALL the HEAVN AND HELL tour my friend who went to the first SABBATH show with me said he had tickets for the show what a show that must have been about the six time we went to a SABBATH show not counting OZZY solo career. I have ramble enough. ROCK ON my friend LONG LIVE ROCK
@@gslep11 it was 8.50 $ on the floor my first was 3.50 $ in the blue section which was at the top of area but we were right on top of KANSAS WITH FRANK MARINO AND MAHOGANY RUSH OPEN UP .
Ronnie was a serious vocal athlete vs Ozzy. Ozzy just had the vibe on Geezers material. I think Ron was more prolific on his own. Love his Sabbath stuff too don’t get me wrong. :) Rip Ronnie James Dio !!!¿¿¿
my black sabbath journey ended when i first heard heaven and hell. it was just too different from ozzy. what's funny is power metal is where i ended up and i'm not sure i listened to this one and dio fucking rocks it
@@ggbeb1177 I went the other way as a snotty adolescent. Already a fan of Dio from his time with Rainbow and got into Sabbath when Heaven and Hell was released. Following this, went on a quest to check out Ozzy era Sabbath and was blown away big style.
Ronnie was MADE for this song! PERIOD! Thank you Black Sabbath for growing up with your music and to this day, I still listen to this masterpiece song!
After two less than stellar albums like "Technical Ecstasy" and "Never Say Die!", "Heaven and Hell" was a much welcome relief to a band like Sabbath looking to reinvent themselves in The New Wave of British Heavy Metal. Times were changing, and the band needed to change with them. It worked out well for Ozzy too, with Blizzard and Diary climbing the charts.
@@williamcarnes6794 I just purchased the Super Deluxe Edition of Technical Ecstasy yesterday. Not bad, with a remixed edition of the album on disc 2, it's like hearing it anew all over again.
@@williamcarnes6794 Yes, they were. And that's a great way of puting it. Different. Not better, not worse. Ronnie had a different style and range that allowed Sabbath to explore new territory. Personally, I like every Black Sabbath album ever recorded, as they were all special in one way or another.

This song changed my life and this CD is keept with my most precious things, because I'll give it to my first son, to keep the rock alive in my family.
Cool Father!
that sounds like Nazi-ism
@@nigonkouk1770 are you crazy?
@@fabionunes2793 yea u r', you are talking to yourself
@@nigonkouk1770 oh, I see, the old internet trolls.
The best front man for Sabbath by far!!!!!!!!!! I wish that I got to see him in concert !
1:10 to 1:50 is the most epic 40 seconds of metal in the history of metal. phenomenal.
2023 ….. i have just listened this song for the first time today…….Tony Iommi it’s a monster , Dio ….Geezer bassline was just out of this world
How am I going to explain my kinds in 10 years from now that I'm still listening to music from the 70s and 80s and nothing can match it?!
Show them this with 120 Dezibel... and they do the same
Best metal voice ever
I remember hearing this for first time when it came out, and being blown away, I seen Ronnie live on his first tour Holy Diver and Killing the Dragon, Ronnie is the greatest rock metal vocalist of all time, I was fortunate to see him live and be pretty close to the stage, it always amazed he was not a big man but what a set of massive pipes, Sabbath and DIO match made by the Metal Gods,
The second concert I saw was Van Halen opening for SABBATH at M.S.G N.Y.C in 78 BLACK SABBATH being my favorite band it breaks my heart to even think anybody would leave let alone the singer but I loved the three RAINBOW album's so I was really happy to hear how they came out with a great new sound the first two album's are a masterpiece and TONY MARTIN the first two album's are a masterpiece too TONY IOMMI is just one of the great one's so I was lucky to see DIO with SABBATH about six times and by his own but never saw him in RAINBOW . RAINBOW RISING is one of my favorite album's the last time I saw was at RADIO CITY MUSIC HALL the HEAVN AND HELL tour my friend who went to the first SABBATH show with me said he had tickets for the show what a show that must have been about the six time we went to a SABBATH show not counting OZZY solo career. I have ramble enough. ROCK ON my friend LONG LIVE ROCK
@@dennissweeney6774 Holy sht BS and VH, that's getting your money's worth.
@@gslep11 it was 8.50 $ on the floor my first was 3.50 $ in the blue section which was at the top of area but we were right on top of KANSAS WITH FRANK MARINO AND MAHOGANY RUSH OPEN UP .
@@dennissweeney6774 WHAT DID U THINK OF FRANK MARINO??
Ronnie was a serious vocal athlete vs Ozzy. Ozzy just had the vibe on Geezers material. I think Ron was more prolific on his own. Love his Sabbath stuff too don’t get me wrong. :) Rip Ronnie James Dio !!!¿¿¿
This is real rock and roll 👍
I remember when you could walk down the street and this wouldn’t be frowned upon...
His voice is like a heavy metal Version of Freddie Mercury. It’s so unique and I love it🎤💀🤘
I couldn't have put it better myself
Dio > fredie mercury
Dio is better than Freddie Mercury, Robert Plant.
Little man, BIG voice
@@srinath6247 I love Dio voice, but please... Freddie Mercury is another level...
This track and the whole album was a pivotal moment in what shaped and defined power metal .
my black sabbath journey ended when i first heard heaven and hell. it was just too different from ozzy. what's funny is power metal is where i ended up and i'm not sure i listened to this one and dio fucking rocks it

I went the other way as a snotty adolescent. Already a fan of Dio from his time with Rainbow and got into Sabbath when Heaven and Hell was released. Following this, went on a quest to check out Ozzy era Sabbath and was blown away big style.
what an awesome tune. and they really did a pretty good job of editing, superimposing the studio version of the audio on to a live performance
One of my fav albums of all time
The voice that God envied
“Trick question. Lemmy is God.”
Dio: pequeno na estatura gigante da voz.
Zeus do Olimpo do Metal. 🇧🇷🤘🇧🇷🤘
That voice is angelic!;
Omgosh RJD had suuuuch a badass voice!! This is one of the baddest songs in history metal!!! ❤️❤️🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽
My first ever gig in 1980, my hearing was never the same but never looked back still rocking at 62
he had the best voice what a majestic presence on stage
This is one of the best live songs ever 😮
That's one album it never gets old you can listen to it a thousand times over and never gets old
Unmistakable legendary
DAMN!!! This song was the shit when Heaven and Hell came out. Don't get jams like this anymore...
Most epic band of heavy metal history
The greatest opening song to ever start an album!
Ronnie was MADE for this song! PERIOD! Thank you Black Sabbath for growing up with your music and to this day, I still listen to this masterpiece song!
What a voice. I don't think RJD ever lost his range. Fantastic video... thank you for posting - brings back such good memories.
My favorite song
one of my favorite songs of all time, i never knew there was a music video
Rock Gods right there!
After two less than stellar albums like "Technical Ecstasy" and "Never Say Die!", "Heaven and Hell" was a much welcome relief to a band like Sabbath looking to reinvent themselves in The New Wave of British Heavy Metal. Times were changing, and the band needed to change with them. It worked out well for Ozzy too, with Blizzard and Diary climbing the charts.
This comment is as stupid as you look
I think you need to give them a another try especially NSD…it’s aged very well.
@@williamcarnes6794 I just purchased the Super Deluxe Edition of Technical Ecstasy yesterday. Not bad, with a remixed edition of the album on disc 2, it's like hearing it anew all over again.
@Caped Critique All of the Dio albums were heavily played at my house…They were a different band with Ronnie
@@williamcarnes6794 Yes, they were. And that's a great way of puting it. Different. Not better, not worse. Ronnie had a different style and range that allowed Sabbath to explore new territory. Personally, I like every Black Sabbath album ever recorded, as they were all special in one way or another.
This is Black Sabbath!
One greatest rock singers,Mr RJD
This may be the best single vocal performance in the history of metal..
When Black Sabbath was good
