Absolutely. Actually overqualified. He was a crooner back in the early 60’s. He’s a REAL professional vocalist. Ozzy is a wildcard and that’s part of his the charm that and his unusual voice. Sounds creepy.
I never compare Dio to Ozzy. They both bring a completely different dimension to Sabbath. Virtually two different bands But Dio with Sabbath is as good as it gets. Perfection in it's purest form
ah The early 80s was an Incredible time for music. Incredible. ... This album, Too Fast for Love, Point Of Entry, Blizzard of Oz Soon to come Screamming for Vengeance, Shout at the Devil, Number of the Beast, Krokus Headhunter, Wasp , its like the floodgates opened & let all the killer bands out
it just never gets old and its funny how much you adjust the volume up more as you listen to the music and it seemingly takes you away... where is this kind of music today ??? its what we need to return long may it live
DIO wrote the wickedest lyrics since Ozzy. Perfect fit for Sabbath. The Heaven and Hell album was a metal masterpiece, very high energy up-tempo. The Mob Rules album is more of a Dio bar band sound, which I find awesome, but doesn't tear it up like Heaven and Hell. Sounds like Mob Rules was the prototype for Dio's incredible Holy Diver and Last in Line solo albums. I will always remember, front row at Harpos, high-fiving Mr. Dio during the heaven and hell solo. Rock on in heaven brother!
How I Left Geezer wrote the majority of the Lyrics, but Ozzy did write lyrics. Ozzy wrote Fairies Wear Boots, co-wrote Black Sabbath. I'm not going to list all the songs he wrote but you're quite wrong in saying Ozzy didn't write lyrics.
How I Left Thats even more awesome to me if GEEZER B. wrote the lyrics! I love OZZY, so much that for 15 years I wouldn't even listen to DIO singing for SABBATH! Now, I fucking love Dio! I have evolved into a heavy-metal-maniac! Bring it on!
What makes me the status of the most is people don't even understand they're fighting a spiritual warfare we have good against evil and we are we are fighting against a battle the Bible told us we would fight against battles and people don't believe it. People don't believe it and makes me cry
My brother Ricky my eldest brother the first born I can say it's a sign of the Southern Cross I don't know why I say that but I believe he is a sign of the Southern Cross and he's been tormented and persecuted through life but I love my brother he's a sign of the Southern Cross
It's actually "Give a knife to those who die" but it doesn't matter. "Giving life to those who die" is a great mis-heard lyric. Personally I much prefer it to Ronnie's original. Makes more sense.
Excellent slideshow presentation, Babette, but your lyrics could have been a little tighter. I know the song, so it really wasn't a biggie for me to be able to sing along : P
Yeah it’s good to see a lot of comments on this song because it’s a freaking definitely one of the best dio Sabbath songs I always tired this winter heaven and hell another bad ass song thanks lady standing in the sun flowers🌻🌈🌤✌🏼
RJD one of a kind, not one like him before or after. But also what a perfect band to make the awesome music behind those amazing vocals and lyrics. Thanks for sharing, the images really capture the imagination on the lyrics.
1st time I heard RJDs voice, I thought, 'wow, thats magical'. Then when I heard this song, i couldn't believe such an amazing opus could've been organized. Top Notch work to flow with a flawless orchestration
Where the weird thing about it all is he is the firstborn I am the last part of the family and we go strike a strike and we fight War what we should not fight Wars we need to come together and say what the hell is going on here Ricky Ricky wake up wake up wake up wreck wake up Southern Cross
Let's face it: Ozzy Osbourne has never had a good singing voice. Dio, on the other hand, is one of metal's best vocalists, his closest contender being Bruce Dickinson.
My buddy & I LOVED this song and he had this f'in killer stereo system in his car & we'd drive around all night blasting this all over the city on a constant loop
R.I.P. RJD was 😟 in my opinion the very very very Best Hard and Heavy Rock 🪨 and Heavy Heavy Metal 🎸 Vocalist 🧑🎤 for EVER !!!!!!!! May God bless his soul to infinity Amen 🙏🏾!!!!!!
Just found this video, one of my all time favorite songs since the 70s, we were truly blessed in that music era, nice to the 70s are still alive, thank you for this awesome video,
Raining blood is 1000 times heavier. Heavy has a specific meaning in metal. You probably think this song is better so you’re calling it heavier, a misapplication of the word. YES IM A GRAMMAR NAZI IM SORRY I CANT CONTROL MYSELF
I love this song, and your presentation is great... but am I the only one who's experiencing that the lyrics are several seconds behind the audio? As in, a verse/chorus is almost finished before the related lyrics appear.
Emre Ulkucu. I know that, wasn't my fault. Made this video as perfect as possible.(lyrics & pics)but this damned windows movie maker did his job not as good as I expected.
The biggest mistake Geezer made was when he let dio write all the lyrics. Sabbath lyrics used to mean something real...social commentary...shit i could relate to...they were from the street... WICKED WORLD / WAR PIGS / CHILDREN OF THE GRAVE / UNDER THE SUN / KILLING YOURSELF TO LIVE / MEGALOMANIA / YOU WON'T CHANGE ME / JOHNNY BLADE...These lyrics are lame (as are most of dios lyrics)... I mean no one tells me that black is really white or 3:04 the Moon is just the Sun at night and if they did I would tell him to go bugger off....and don't come back at me with that metaphor bullshit.... The best post Ozzy Sabbath is Born Again. . dio has written decent lyrics in one song TV CRIMES but dragons warlocks castles rainbows children who live in the sea (huh !?) and all that other fictional fantasy stupid ass s*** I don't live in a world like that never have never will...and don't come back at me with that I'm not intelligent enough to comprehend dios words because I have a BA in History and am 2 classes and the thesis (or comprehensive exam) shy of my Masters in Social Sciences so i have, in all humility, a firm grasp of the English language.... thank you very much!!!
If there isn't light when no one sees Then how can I know what you might believe A story told that can't be real Somehow must reflect the truth we feel, yeah Fade away, fade away Vanish into small Fade away, fade away Break the crystal ball Oh, it's the sign Feels like the time On a small world west of wonder Somewhere, nowhere, all There's a rainbow that will shimmer When the summer falls If an echo doesn't answer When it hears a certain sound Then the beast is free to wander But never is seen around Then it's the sign of the southern cross It's the sign of the southern cross All right Sail away To the sky From the book the word is spoken Whispers from forgotten song Gather all around the young ones They will make us strong Reach up above your dreams of pleasure Give a life to those who die Look beyond your own horizons Sail the ship of sighs And it's the sign of the southern cross It's the sign of the southern cross Fade away, fade away Break the crystal ball Fade away, fade away I can't accept it any more On a real world west of wonder Somewhere, nowhere, all There's a rainbow, see it shimmer When the summer falls From the book the word is spoken Whispers from forgotten song Gather all around the young ones They will make us strong It's the sign of the southern cross It's the sign of the southern cross Don't live for pleasure Make life your treasure Fade away Eight miles high, about to fall And no one there to catch you Look for the sign, the time The sign of the southern cross Play on
Incredible images with incredible music
Exactly
a trick: you can watch movies on flixzone. Me and my gf have been using it for watching a lot of movies during the lockdown.
@Kannon Moshe yup, I've been watching on Flixzone} for years myself :D
@@stefanoflos9919 One of the must magicaly videos on youtube,like musicaly that visualy!!!!!!!!!!🤘🤘🤘
Me too
I like Ozzy. But Dio is on another level.
True. Both in their own level
hard to contrast. Thrill of it all
Absolutely. Actually overqualified. He was a crooner back in the early 60’s. He’s a REAL professional vocalist. Ozzy is a wildcard and that’s part of his the charm that and his unusual voice. Sounds creepy.
@@bardoface Ozzy is maybe "prince Of Darknes",but Ronnie James Dio WAs a Greek God Of noble hardrock and heavy metal in mortal body!!!!!!!!!🤘🤘🤘🎤🎤🎤🎸🎸🎸
Improved everything he touched
I never compare Dio to Ozzy.
They both bring a completely different dimension to Sabbath.
Virtually two different bands
But Dio with Sabbath is as good as it gets.
Perfection in it's purest form
48 people have no taste.
Thank you 😊
One of my top 10 favorite songs of all time!
Never heard this song until a few days ago, damn its good.
Welcome to the club
Try the Gates of Babylon when Dio was in the band Rainbow. Awesome song.
Godfather of Rock N Roll! You're The Best Ronnie James Dio!!!
Been playing this album since it was first released and still sitting here 40 years later in absolute awe
Thats a Gretest lyrical episode of Ronnie James Dio On The Black Sabbath Episode!!!!!!🤘🤘🤘🎸🎸🎸
Same here. I listen to Sabbath at least twice a week during my drive home.
Legends never die......RIP... RJD
Great Video for One of the Greatest Metal Albums of All Time.
Kudos for Your Efforts.
Peace
Simply i Love this epic balladic heavy metal hymn,Hail To The DIO!!!!!!!!!🤘🤘🤘
Dio and Sabbath made some beautiful music together
TRUE! 🤘🏻
Ronnie always has to ability to put me in that sacred circle.what a musician ... Prophets are gifts they come and go ,.RIP.
A beautiful voice from a beautiful man ...
ah The early 80s was an Incredible time for music. Incredible. ... This album, Too Fast for Love, Point Of Entry, Blizzard of Oz Soon to come Screamming for Vengeance, Shout at the Devil, Number of the Beast, Krokus Headhunter, Wasp , its like the floodgates opened & let all the killer bands out
This reminds of driving around town in my 85' Monte Carlo SS.
April 29th , 2019
Still listening now and forever
And now 15.Februar 2024!!!!!!!!!!!🤘🤘🤘🎸🎸🎸
it just never gets old and its funny how much you adjust the volume up more as you listen to the music and it seemingly takes you away... where is this kind of music today ??? its what we need to return
long may it live

+What I Left Yeah but not like RJD...that's for sure.
Fantastic, underrated Black Sabbath song and album. I really want to see the Dio era Sabbath re-issued on vinyl.
Already has
The lyrics are waaaaaayyyy too late.
One of the best on here, thank you
Beautiful haunting imagery perfect for RJD, this song takes me on a journey
This is my all time favourite song and will be forever.
Crazy underrated album.
Gestapo Pussyranch! LOLOLOLOL!! Name so cool can I work there?
What makes me the status of the most is people don't even understand they're fighting a spiritual warfare we have good against evil and we are we are fighting against a battle the Bible told us we would fight against battles and people don't believe it. People don't believe it and makes me cry
Most greatast and beautiful ballad Of Black Sabbath - greatest lyrical/epical song - One Of the higher points of Hardrock/metal music❤❤❤
Takes you away to a place where you’re thoughts can play,so powerful and strong
Holy Crap this song is amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Feeling of walking through eternal darkness
Walking through eternal darkness.. One can only hope...
Amazing Song! Amazing Video! Amazing Quality! Amazing Images !
This may be THE best Sabbath song on Earth!
Something tells me Ronnie himself would get a kick out of this if he was still around. Just a feeling.
Some deep lyrics of spiritual warfare in this one. I love this song!
Bad ass song R.I.P metal God Dio
Toney is the master of guitar riff.
what a voice. his voice makes Ozzy look bad
Every voice makes Ozzy look bad.
@@furioussherman7265 How can a voice look bad?
@@panzerriff Don't blame me. I was in line with the original commenter.
why does everyone say ozzys bad at singing? hes not technical like dio but has such a unique regognizable and awesome voice and a really good range
@@humphreyhamma3470 After the 70s, Ozzy often sang out of tune, and his voice cracked here and there.
this album was awesome. I also liked how they mixed this song in with The Mob Rules
My brother Ricky my eldest brother the first born I can say it's a sign of the Southern Cross I don't know why I say that but I believe he is a sign of the Southern Cross and he's been tormented and persecuted through life but I love my brother he's a sign of the Southern Cross
The song lyrics are delayed relative to the song.
Killer song and excellent video!!! The haunting vocals of Ronnie are on the mark. Awe, the good old days... >;-}
Douglas Coffman I
FRESHMAN IN HIGH SCHOOL WHEN I FIRST HEARD THIS ALBUM. BRINGS BACK MEMORY. WOULD"NT TRADE IT FOR ANYTHING.
It's actually "Give a knife to those who die" but it doesn't matter. "Giving life to those who die" is a great mis-heard lyric. Personally I much prefer it to Ronnie's original. Makes more sense.
Favorite DIO/SABBATH SONG
Sabbath sounded darker with DIO
with OZ more like when you're high or trippin.
This song is fuckin wicked !
Ronnie shall always continue to rule!
Excellent slideshow presentation, Babette, but your lyrics could have been a little tighter. I know the song, so it really wasn't a biggie for me to be able to sing along
: P
Special song with magical images
underated video. I blame garbage music and feeble minds..
Black sabbath melhor banda do planeta .na minha opinião 🇧🇷
Cool video, you got it , congrats ...
This is the only video that I could listen to this song on. The images are great and the sound quality it is amazing.
Yeah it’s good to see a lot of comments on this song because it’s a freaking definitely one of the best dio Sabbath songs I always tired this winter heaven and hell another bad ass song thanks lady standing in the sun flowers🌻🌈🌤✌🏼
RJD one of a kind, not one like him before or after. But also what a perfect band to make the awesome music behind those amazing vocals and lyrics. Thanks for sharing, the images really capture the imagination on the lyrics.
I listen to this while going through the Corona virus epidemic
This music can kill any pain within a second.why committing suicide when can listen to dio songs.🤘🤘🤘
1st time I heard RJDs voice, I thought, 'wow, thats magical'. Then when I heard this song, i couldn't believe such an amazing opus could've been organized. Top Notch work to flow with a flawless orchestration
when they unearth an ipod d/l of this song in the year 4014, they will say...wow they weren't all clueless!
Great Post!!! thank you!
the Best song of it All
Awesome. One of my favourite song from BS.
Where the weird thing about it all is he is the firstborn I am the last part of the family and we go strike a strike and we fight War what we should not fight Wars we need to come together and say what the hell is going on here Ricky Ricky wake up wake up wake up wreck wake up Southern Cross
Sabbath was darker with DIO , should've stayed that way
Dio is God!!!
Lirycs are to late.
amo está canción
Who's listening in 2024🤘🤘🤘🤘🎤🎤🎤
Such a killer song!!
Takes me back to 1981 I was 14 years old this song is beyond awesome 💯🤘🤘🤘🤘🎤🎤🎤
Great video. Adds a lot to a magnificent song
If there are any Christians on here, I'm not buying what you're selling! I have my own beliefs. Sorry to sound so harsh. Hail Rubber Ducky's!!!
This track is perfect in every way. R.I.P Ronnie James Dio. x
great video - greetings from southern cross station at melbourne
Similar acoustic guitar lick years later on Nothing Else Matters. I wonder if it was on purpose.
Awesome video! Oh! It is so me!
WOW!! Creative, I like the way you did this.
Let's face it: Ozzy Osbourne has never had a good singing voice. Dio, on the other hand, is one of metal's best vocalists, his closest contender being Bruce Dickinson.
One of my favorite Black Sabbath songs. Thanks so much for making this lyric video!
My buddy & I LOVED this song and he had this f'in killer stereo system in his car & we'd drive around all night blasting this all over the city on a constant loop
Showcase proving Ronnie James Dio was not only the greatest metal vocalist ever, but one of the best singers in modern music PERIOD.
Where did you find all of those awesome pictures? Really cool.
3 years more and it will get 100.000 views, at least I hope
R.I.P. RJD was 😟 in my opinion the very very very Best Hard and Heavy Rock 🪨 and Heavy Heavy Metal 🎸 Vocalist 🧑🎤 for EVER !!!!!!!! May God bless his soul to infinity Amen 🙏🏾!!!!!!
Also an amazing 🤩 Songwriter!!!!!!
Just found this video, one of my all time favorite songs since the 70s, we were truly blessed in that music era, nice to the 70s are still alive, thank you for this awesome video,
Thank you
Awesome!
FANTASTIC ARTWORK! :) Who are the artist(s) and what media are they in?
Perfect just perfect
I was listening to Reigning blood by slayer, then this. This is way heavier, not even in the same zip code. It's better, too. Gather the young ones
drvannozzun Slayer seem too noisy. Like they're mistaking being heavy for just being loud and noisy. I don't get em. Never have.
Kartik Mann Hell Awaits is quite heavy. And evil.
Raining blood is 1000 times heavier. Heavy has a specific meaning in metal. You probably think this song is better so you’re calling it heavier, a misapplication of the word. YES IM A GRAMMAR NAZI IM SORRY I CANT CONTROL MYSELF

Whispers from forgotten psalms... Haunting lyrics powerful voice
saw this tour..Bethlehem,pa. stabler arena.. best show ever!
Me too. In Pittsburgh.
Fuck, me jealous!
Dio n Sabbath paint a picture................better then Picasso!
DON;T LIVE FOR PLEASURE ; MAKE LIFE YOUR TREASURE -DEO
Now that's metal 🤘🤘🤘⚡⚡⚡
Soy Guardaparques o Park Ranger de la Reserva Nacional Altos de Lircay de Chile y escucho este temazo de proporciones , que gran talento...

I saw this tour Long Beach arena Long Beach CA Dio was beyond awesome with sabbath OMG 😳 sabbath was killer with Dio!💯💯💯🤘🤘🤘🎤🎤🎤
WORDS YOUR LATE
.Melhor album que o. Dio fez com Sabbath, ,,,,,
Typically, lyric videos have the lyrics appear just before they are sung. Just saying.
If there isn't light when no one sees
Then how can I know what you might believe
A story told that can't be real
Somehow must reflect the truth we feel, yeah
Fade away, fade away
Vanish into small
Fade away, fade away
Break the crystal ball
Oh, it's the sign
Feels like the time
On a small world west of wonder
Somewhere, nowhere, all
There's a rainbow that will shimmer
When the summer falls
If an echo doesn't answer
When it hears a certain sound
Then the beast is free to wander
But never is seen around
Then it's the sign of the southern cross
It's the sign of the southern cross
All right
Sail away
To the sky
From the book the word is spoken
Whispers from forgotten song
Gather all around the young ones
They will make us strong
Reach up above your dreams of pleasure
Give a life to those who die
Look beyond your own horizons
Sail the ship of sighs
And it's the sign of the southern cross
It's the sign of the southern cross
Fade away, fade away
Break the crystal ball
Fade away, fade away
I can't accept it any more
On a real world west of wonder
Somewhere, nowhere, all
There's a rainbow, see it shimmer
When the summer falls
From the book the word is spoken
Whispers from forgotten song
Gather all around the young ones
They will make us strong
It's the sign of the southern cross
It's the sign of the southern cross
Don't live for pleasure
Make life your treasure
Fade away
Eight miles high, about to fall
And no one there to catch you
Look for the sign, the time
The sign of the southern cross
Play on
