Dont worry about that...I think you will find most Black Sabbath fans prefer the early albums with Ozzy, but respect and still love Ronnie James Dio and especially this song. Dio has more talent just not as much character in his voice imo. He also has a great solo career, he passed in 2010.
Playlist time Molly boy ! My favorite song and album of all time . Checkout .. Don't talk to strangers... on his solo album... Dio 1st two solo albums are epic !
Dio was after Ozzy. Considered one of the best vocalists ever in metal. Dio’s solo stuff like Last in Line, We Rock, Don’t talk to strangers, and especially “Rainbow in the dark” is great.
Dio was one of the all time greats. His stuff with Sabbath, his stuff with Rainbow before, his solo career after, guy has a massive catalogue of quality records.
as much as I love sabbath with dio, i honestly find his sabbath years to be some of the weaker in his catalogue (with a few extremely standout exceptions, Heaven and Hell being one). That's not to say the rest isn't next level good, I just find his days in Rainbow and his solo stuff to really be peak Dio.
R.I.P. “Ronnie James Dio” 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼 “The closer you get to the meaning” “The sooner you’ll know that you are dreaming” ❤ This is the most iconic song in heavy metal ! Miss you Ronnie 🙏🏻❤️😢 (1980) Black Sabbath has had no fewer than 10 singers over their entire discography ! (Facts)
Dio was not only the singer in Black Sabbath, but also in Elf, Rainbow, Dio, and Heaven & Hell. He is considered one of the most legendary singers of all time, and rightly so. Quite clearly, Dio and Ozzy brought their own energies and vocals to Black Sabbath. I personally don't think one is better or worse than the other, they're both absolute legends.
Hell go even further back to the late 1950's - Ronnie Dio and the Red Caps and Ronnie Dio and the Prophets. "Blue Days, Blue Nights" or "Walking in Different Circles" will blow you away how different his sound was back in the day.
Ronnie James Dio He was so incredible.I can listen to his stuff all day long and never get tired or bored.I'll always miss him cause.I did get the meethim once years before he died
RJD, Now this is a rabbit hole worth taking. Even going back to see this version live is worth it. One of the most generous performers… he’s there FOR the audience. An operatic voice and an excellent person. Gone too soon. 💔
No denying that you are a Metalhead!And it's so funny to me that you accidentally discovered the greatest singer that ever lived this way!I love them both,Ozzy & Dio!And you don't really need to choose which one you like better,just enjoy them both!But when it comes to professional singing,the diction,the range,the expression of every word that's been sung,you will find no one that can reach Dio's level!🤘
"You will find no one that can reach Dio's level!🤘" .. Rob Halford (Judas Priest), Phil Anselmo (Pantera)1989-1991, Eric Adams (Manowar), Ian Gillan (Deep purple) (Who also features on Black Sabbath album 'Born Again') etc.
@@metler7642All of them are first league,amazing vocalists!And don't forget Bruce Dickinson in that list.Maiden & Judas are my absolute favorites bands.But to me Dio is the best of them in terms of technicality from an objective point of view.
Congratulations on your introduction the mighty RONNIE JAMES DIO!!! He got his start in Rainbow, and you absolutely MUST listen to Stargazer. It will change your life. Another AMAZING Sabbath tine with him is Sign of the Southern Cross. Fucking phenomenal. For his solo stuff, check out Don't talk To Strangers and The Last In Line. Now, my son, you are a man! 🤘😎🤘
For more Dio stuff I recommend "Stand Up And Shout" or "Holy Diver" by Dio or even "Man On The Silver Mountain" by Rainbow. A very cool vocalist to listen to.
I love them both too!And Ozzy's voice fits better to the sound of Black Sabbath.But all in all there was never a better singer than fu**ing Ronnie James Dio on this planet!🤘
Ronnie James Dio was one of the greatest rock/metal singers to ever live. I was lucky enough to see him with Black Sabbath before he died. Absolutely incredible. I love watching your reactions, bro. So glad you're enjoying this journey.
Dio was the GOAT of metal/hard rock. You should check out Rainbow - "Stargazer" for another band with Dio singing. It's more on the hard rock side in the 70's (pre-Sabbath), but it's amazing. Dio's solo band (post-Sabbath) is also great, but I'd start with the Rainbow track before going to solo....
HaHa, you stumbled into a rabbit hole with Black Sabbath's best album, with RJD. I first discovered Dio as the singer for Rainbow, with Ritchie Blackmore from Deep Purple on guitar. He also has some solo bangers.
“The world is full of kings and queens, who blind your eyes and steal your dreams” & “They’ll tell you black is really white, the moon is just the sun at night” Some of my favorite lyrics.
You have found the the legend, have fun going down this rabbit hole. Legendary is an understatement. Just a few bands he blessed with his voice, Rainbow, Black Sabbath, his band "DIO", and finally Heaven and Hell which is this band with drummer Bill Ward replaced with Vinny Appice. RONNIE JAMES DIO July 10, 1942 - May 16, 2010 R.I.P.🤘
Yessss!! Ronnie James Dio era Sabbath is fantastic! The original stuff with Ozzy is still my favorite but there is no denying the power of Dio's voice! "Children of the Sea", "The Sign of the Southern Cross", and "The Mob Rules" are other great songs from them. "Don't Talk to Strangers" is a solo Dio song that kicks all kinds of a$$!!
Dude, do solo Dio too. Some absolutely killer stuff. Holy Diver, Rainbow In The Dark, Don’t Talk to Strangers, Straight Through The Heart, Dream Evil. So many
I saw Sabbath with Ronnie James on the Mob Rules tour... Had floor seats in front of one of the speaker stacks. Couldn't hear out of my left ear for a couple of days, and it was totally worth it.
Ugh, so much Sabbath; Symptom of the Universe, Sleeping Village/Warning, Falling off the Edge of the World, I, Sign of the Southern Cross, Children of the Sea, Lonely is the Word, the Mob Rules.....so, so many. Thanks for the video.

Children of the Sea is a must imo. Great song. The vocalist is Dio in that song too.
Ronny James Dio was the singer of rainbow back in the early days. He also had his solo band called Dio. He has one of the most soulful metal voices ever. He’s really like an RnB singer singing metal lol but the early rainbow stuff is great. Or if you wanna hear us solo band, Dio, the last in line is a great album
Another great song from this album "Children of the Sea". Some songs from Dio's solo career "Holy Diver"..."Egypt"..."Straight Through the Heart". Dio is a great vocalist, definitely top 5 of rock and roll.
Dio is considered the greatest metal vocalist of all time by many. Funny you just stumbled across him this way. Yes, react to more of his music. He is amazing!!!!!
Rainbow is Dio's other band he was in as well. Stargazer is a phenomenal song, it will take you somewhere you haven't ever been. It will tell you a story like a great novel. If you want a great Dio song, that is your next song. Studio version is best IMO.
Another Dio Sabbath masterpiece is sign of the southern cross.... After Dio, Sabbath made an album with a third vocalist (Ian Gillian of Deep Purple) called "Born Again" The whole album is a banger! "Zero the hero" "Disturbing the priest" "Trashed" "Digital bitch" All amazing tracks.
Ive been pushing for Sabbath Heaven and Hell because i knew itd blow his mind!! 🎸❤️🔥🤘 Ronnie James Dio is phenomenal!! There was 4 with lungs n pipes in my day, Ronnie James Dio, Rob Halford (Judas Priest), Bruce Dickinson ( Iron Maiden) and Klaus Meine ( Scorpions) they could sing!! Belt them out!!
This and Children of the Sea, from same album, Are two of my favorite songs of all time. Dio is My favorite singer also. This Album Changed Me back in the early 80s. RIP DIO!
Your face when you realized it wasn't Ozzy was priceless. Dio was the perfect replacement for Ozzy, one metal God followed by another. This song is right up there as one of the greatest Sabbath songs of all time.
Some spot-on comments about the song on your part. This album came out in 1980. That time period, late 70s to early 80s, was magical. It is hard to fully grasp unless you were there at the time. From Black Sabbath, to Ozzy/Randy Rhoads, AC/DC, Judas Priest, Iron Maiden, Michael Schenker Group, Def Leppard, Van Halen, and more... everywhere you turned, there were incredible albums being released. As for name pronunciations, it is Ronnie James Dee-O and Tony Eye-Om-Me.
That my friend is Ronnie James Dio, one of the greatest rock/metal vocalist of all time. He took over from Ozzy when Ozzy got kicked out. That's when Ozzy went off and did most of his own Solo stuff.
Mate you got to get some Rainbow Stargazer in your ears! Or Kill The King by Rainbow. Or Falling Off The Edge Of The World by Sabbath. What a treat to hear Ronnie James Dio for the first time.
Not the typical list of first recommendations, but I totally agree with it. Maybe throw in Shame on the Night to contrast with the energy of Kill the King.
Black Sabbath was a British heavy metal band formed in 1968 in Birmingham by guitarist and main songwriter Tony Iommi, bassist and main lyricist Geezer Butler, vocalist Ozzy Osbourne and drummer Bill Ward.[1] Since Ozzy Osbourne's departure, the band has undergone several line-up changes, with guitarist Iommi being the only one present in all of them. Originally a blues rock band, they soon adopted the name Black Sabbath and began incorporating horror stories into their lyrics, as well as using low-tuned guitars. Although these two themes were common, they also composed songs that dealt with social instability, political corruption, the dangers of drug abuse, and apocalyptic prophecies resulting from war. The original lineup came to an end in 1979 with Osbourne's dismissal, due to his addiction to alcohol and use of other drugs. He was replaced by Ronnie James Dio, former Rainbow singer. After recording two albums with Dio, Black Sabbath faced numerous member changes during the 80s and 90s, which included vocalists Ian Gillan, Glenn Hughes, Ray Gillen and Tony Martin, as well as several drummers and bassists. In 1992, Iommi and Butler joined Dio and drummer Vinny Appice to record the album Dehumanizer. The original lineup reunited in 1997, when they recorded the live album Reunion. Black Sabbath's latest studio album, titled 13, was released in June 2013 and featured Iommi, Butler and Osbourne. Between 2016 and 2017 they performed "The End Tour", a tour that officially marked the end of the group's career. Black Sabbath is usually cited as one of the pioneers of heavy metal.[2][3] The group helped define the genre with releases such as Paranoid (1970), Master of Reality (1971) and Heaven and Hell (1980), selling more than 70 million copies during their career.[4] They were defined by MTV as "the greatest heavy metal band of all time", and were ranked 2nd on VH1's list of the "100 Greatest Hard Rock Artists". Rolling Stone magazine placed them at number 85 on their list of the "100 Greatest Artists of All Time". The band was inducted into the UK Music Hall of Fame in 2005, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2006 and has twice won the Grammy Awards in the Best Metal Performance category.
Ronnie James DIo had been around for quite a few years long before he joined Sabbath, Ha was already a recording artist. After he left Sabbath he became one of the best known names in metal! WIth his own band DIO, you have to check out the numerous iconic hits from Ronnie! Anyone that is into metal knows who RJD is! His wife Wendy still promotes a hologram show featuring Ronnie as a hologram on stage singing his songs! Ronnie passed on May 16th 2010 he was 67 years old and is still considered the GOAT but also the Godfather of metal! The album Heaven And Hell was released in 1980.
'Sign of the Southern Cross' and 'Over and Over' off the Mob Rules album, are two of the best and probably the most underrated Sabbath songs from the Dio era, both are Iommi masterpieces. Check them out.
Ozzy osborne split like nineteen seventy nine Black sabbath hired Ronnie James Dio formerly of Rainbow To take over on vocals he recorded heaven and hell mob rules live evil then Dio did his own band 1998 came back to Black Sabbath for Dehumanizer album Elf Rainbow Black Sabbath and His solo band All the material he ever recorded.Is incredible and worth checking out

DEE-Oh
Dont worry about that...I think you will find most Black Sabbath fans prefer the early albums with Ozzy, but respect and still love Ronnie James Dio and especially this song. Dio has more talent just not as much character in his voice imo. He also has a great solo career, he passed in 2010.
Best metal vocalist ever Ronnie James Dio 😊🤘🤘❤

Checkout .. Don't talk to strangers... on his solo album... Dio 1st two solo albums are epic !
Yeah... It was funny though Ronnie James Dio "Dee oh" 😂
That's Ronnie James Dio singing. Fucking legend
Now THATS the greatest metal voice to ever exist. RONNIE JAMES MOTHERFUCKIN DIO!!!!!!!!!
This! Enough said!!
One of the greatest... Not the greatest, thats Rob Halford
@lukanovak1492 Rob Halford will tell you it's Freddie Mercury. Listen to anything from Queen's first 3 or 4 albums.
@@lukanovak1492 Rat's piss...Rob's good but not THAT good!
@@garymck5181 Ik all Queen songs. I've been listening them forever, but I still prefer Rob over Freddie
for me, heaven and hell is the best black sabbath album ever. RIP Dio, the GOAT.
I wouldn't go that far.
Best w/Dio but there were only 4
Dio!
Agree!! Mob Rules tied as well.
Agree. However, Mob Rules is close.
Dio was responsible for making this symbol 🤘 the most famous among rock/metal, he was a legend
Rainbow Stargazer.
"Dio" means God in Italian
@@7RGT-h7p But his name was taken from a mobster called Johnny Dio.
Dio was after Ozzy. Considered one of the best vocalists ever in metal. Dio’s solo stuff like Last in Line, We Rock, Don’t talk to strangers, and especially “Rainbow in the dark” is great.
I think his best performances was in Rainbow. Stargazer, Catch the Rainbow, Rainbow Eyes, Mistreated (live), etc.
@@otnoirhc He has a ton of good songs. The ones I listed were when he was a solo artist.
dont talk to strangers live at the spectrum
Die Young
Lonely is the Word
Heaven and Hell
I was thinking the same thing couldn’t remember the full name of the song.
Dio was one of the all time greats. His stuff with Sabbath, his stuff with Rainbow before, his solo career after, guy has a massive catalogue of quality records.
Don't forget about his early work with Elf as well. Different style, but the same kick ass voice!
as much as I love sabbath with dio, i honestly find his sabbath years to be some of the weaker in his catalogue (with a few extremely standout exceptions, Heaven and Hell being one). That's not to say the rest isn't next level good, I just find his days in Rainbow and his solo stuff to really be peak Dio.

I love them both. Black Sabbath is one of my favorite bands of all time 👍❤️🔥🤘🏻
Dio's first solo albums, "Holy Diver" is one of those RARE albums, where EVERY song is a HIT!
Absolutely
Ronnie was a metal wizard and now he's an actual god. RIP Mr. Dio.

100%

Don't sleep on RJD in Rainbow... Stargazer, Light in the Black, Gates of Babylon, Long Live Rock and Roll, Kill the King. Just tons of great songs.
💯
Stargazer for sure.
Mistreated, The Temple of the King & A Light in the Black either…
Great tune! Ronnie made the Maloik famous.(🤘🏻) I use it in my daily life to ward-off evil spirits and rap music.

Sign Of The Southern Cross next for sure!
This is such a rad song.
Have you checked out any Rainbow songs with Dio on vocals? Absolutely check out “Stargazer”. 🌈
Welcome to the voice of DIO!!🤟🐐
Rainbow is another band which features Dio on vocals, I would recommend "Stargazer" to react to.
From Ozzy to Dio... Epic front men. Two of the most influential from men in Rock n metal. RIP Dio.
Absolute tune! Sabbath has numerous lead singers! Check out the Tony Martin era too!
Neon Knights by Sabbath, and Man on the Silver Mountain by Rainbow are real bangers with Dio on vocals.
“The world is full of kings and queens, who blind your eyes and steal your dreams” & “They’ll tell you black is really white, the moon is just the sun at night”
Some of my favorite lyrics.
Travelling ever deeper into the vaunted halls of Heavy Metal, you discover the venerable legacy of Ronnie James Dio
~ He is Legend!
You have found the the legend, have fun going down this rabbit hole. Legendary is an understatement.

"Children of the Sea", "The Sign of the Southern Cross", and "The Mob Rules" are other great songs from them. "Don't Talk to Strangers" is a solo Dio song that kicks all kinds of a$$!!
another of Ronnie Dio's band is called Rainbow and I highly recommend the song Stargazer. You won't be disappointed!
Mob Rules and Neon Knights are two high tempo bangers that are too much fun to miss.
"not showing off on guitar but having sex w/ it" 🤣🤣🤣 Molly Boy, after todays lineup there is no return, your a metal-head. You can NEVER leave 🤟🔥
Dude, do solo Dio too. Some absolutely killer stuff. Holy Diver, Rainbow In The Dark, Don’t Talk to Strangers, Straight Through The Heart, Dream Evil. So many
Go buy the album and get it on the wall molly boy...and LOUDER 😂❤
Love the album.
I saw Sabbath with Ronnie James on the Mob Rules tour... Had floor seats in front of one of the speaker stacks. Couldn't hear out of my left ear for a couple of days, and it was totally worth it.
Masterpiece. Recommend the whole album. Holy diver and Stargazer legendary Ronnie tracks too. Goat singer.
'Dio - Don't Talk To Strangers' will absolutely melt your face!
Dio was great...Man on the silver mountain, Children of the Sea, Last in Line, and this whole album is great!!! enjoy!
Ugh, so much Sabbath; Symptom of the Universe, Sleeping Village/Warning, Falling off the Edge of the World, I, Sign of the Southern Cross, Children of the Sea, Lonely is the Word, the Mob Rules.....so, so many. Thanks for the video.
Children of the Sea is a must imo. Great song. The vocalist is Dio in that song too.
This album is titled HeavenandHell,yes listen to the whole album it's killer!!!!!
Neon Knights, the opener on that LP is kick-ass. Oh, and it’s Tony Iommi (pronounced Eye-ommi)!
It's not loud enough.🤘 I'm so proud of you. 😉
Ronny James Dio was the singer of rainbow back in the early days. He also had his solo band called Dio. He has one of the most soulful metal voices ever. He’s really like an RnB singer singing metal lol but the early rainbow stuff is great. Or if you wanna hear us solo band, Dio, the last in line is a great album
I was a roadie for a band in the early eighties and when they did this song the crowd would go crazy. So much fun
Another great song from this album "Children of the Sea". Some songs from Dio's solo career "Holy Diver"..."Egypt"..."Straight Through the Heart". Dio is a great vocalist, definitely top 5 of rock and roll.
Dio is considered the greatest metal vocalist of all time by many. Funny you just stumbled across him this way. Yes, react to more of his music. He is amazing!!!!!
This is one of those songs that make you sit in amazement and go "holy fk"
I got to see him live in Austin TX. Best concert ever. 🤘🤘🤘
Ronnie James Dio is one of the most analyzed singers I've seen on TH-cam. I can safely say another song by Dio will be coming up, shortly. 🤘💯
Hopefully
You should react to this whole album. You won't be disappointed.
Hell yes! Hope you enjoyed it. Great choice. This voice your hearing is legendary Ronnie James Dio, iconic
He was also in rainbow, stargazer is a killer song
Rainbow is Dio's other band he was in as well. Stargazer is a phenomenal song, it will take you somewhere you haven't ever been. It will tell you a story like a great novel. If you want a great Dio song, that is your next song. Studio version is best IMO.
One of the coolest album covers ever
Ronnie James Dio was the man, outstanding voice. His solo stuff is well worth checking out too. Especially Holy Diver and The Last In Line.
Black sabbath is the reason why Heavy Metal exists.
Another Dio Sabbath masterpiece is sign of the southern cross.... After Dio, Sabbath made an album with a third vocalist (Ian Gillian of Deep Purple) called "Born Again" The whole album is a banger! "Zero the hero" "Disturbing the priest" "Trashed" "Digital bitch" All amazing tracks.
Dude - from the same album - “Neon Knights” is another great track.
Lol... "this bloke, this geezer, whoever it is...". The bloke is Dio and geezer is well, Geezer on bass guitar. That's funny that you said "geezer"!
In my opinion, Heaven and Hell and Mob Rules are the best Black Sabbath albums!!!
Mob Rules!!!!!!
Yes 🤘
Gnarly intro on this one, with great changes throughout! Good choice!
Yay. I bought this album when I was a 15 year old school-girl. I had good taste.
Yes please! More Dio! These vocals are where it’s at! Turn that shihh up!!!!!
You should watch him seeing live. He’s my favorite Black Sabbath singer.
Symptom of the Universe , Children of the Grave and the song and riff that made me a metal head IRON MAN !!!!
Tony iommi, the riff master
Ive been pushing for Sabbath Heaven and Hell because i knew itd blow his mind!! 🎸❤️🔥🤘 Ronnie James Dio is phenomenal!! There was 4 with lungs n pipes in my day, Ronnie James Dio, Rob Halford (Judas Priest), Bruce Dickinson ( Iron Maiden) and Klaus Meine ( Scorpions) they could sing!! Belt them out!!
One of my favorites. RIP RJD
This and Children of the Sea, from same album, Are two of my favorite songs of all time. Dio is My favorite singer also. This Album Changed Me back in the early 80s. RIP DIO!
Tony Iommi ("eye-o-me") on guitar, Ronnie James Dio ("dee-o") replaced Ozzy as vocalist when Ozzy was fired in '79. From 1980.
Your face when you realized it wasn't Ozzy was priceless. Dio was the perfect replacement for Ozzy, one metal God followed by another. This song is right up there as one of the greatest Sabbath songs of all time.
Saw this concert. Amazing!!
Brighton in about 1980-81
Some spot-on comments about the song on your part. This album came out in 1980. That time period, late 70s to early 80s, was magical. It is hard to fully grasp unless you were there at the time.

That my friend is Ronnie James Dio, one of the greatest rock/metal vocalist of all time. He took over from Ozzy when Ozzy got kicked out. That's when Ozzy went off and did most of his own Solo stuff.
Mate you got to get some Rainbow Stargazer in your ears! Or Kill The King by Rainbow. Or Falling Off The Edge Of The World by Sabbath. What a treat to hear Ronnie James Dio for the first time.
Not the typical list of first recommendations, but I totally agree with it. Maybe throw in Shame on the Night to contrast with the energy of Kill the King.
Sign of the Southern Cross... Mob Rules... Sabbath with Dio... awesome 👌
A good song it's not just a song, it's a journey
there are 5-6 eras of Black Sabbath Bro You have a wonderful trip ahead of you!!! Cheers!!

Ronnie passed on May 16th 2010 he was 67 years old and is still considered the GOAT but also the Godfather of metal! The album Heaven And Hell was released in 1980.
Love Black Sabbath Dio era!! Need to see Ronnie perform live with them!! 🤘🏼
They crush this live..My dad was a huge fan 🤘
The whole album is metal top 10 for sure
'Sign of the Southern Cross' and 'Over and Over' off the Mob Rules album, are two of the best and probably the most underrated Sabbath songs from the Dio era, both are Iommi masterpieces. Check them out.
Lonely is the word... Classic
Love that song, and the solos in it are sick!
