They're piles of shit put to tape.
So is the Reunion album,
If you listen to Tony, Geezer and Bill only and turn the vocals all the way off.
pissed all over ANYTHING Dio ever did with the band. Live Evil? Fuckin ridiculous.
Fucking dymanic would be more accurate.
I said it once, I'll say it again, Dio is all about dodgy 80's hair metal, Dio didnt' save anything, he just turned Sabbath into another fuckin 80's band that should be forgotten about.
No, he reinvigorated Tony Iommi's playing and brought out the absolute best musically. How long were Tony and Geezer going to have to dumb down their playing for Ozzy to perform around, anyway?
Let's not forget that Ronnie's an actual MUSICIAN who can work with MUSICIANS and not rely on somebody else to write everything for him so that his cunt of a wife can steal all the credit and slap it on her husband after the fact.
Ronnie James Dio was the first REAL lead singer Sabbath ever had.
You can say it over and over again, but it doesn't give it any credit or accuracy.
The only problem with standing up for Ozzy is that his behaviour and his fuckin family have let him down so it seems I'm into the MTV shit. I can assure you I was a fan way before Sharon forced him into all that. Thats for a different thread I guess.
Ozzy isn't the man he was 30 years ago, but he fuckin owns Dio.
Oh please...Ozzy can't even own his bladder these days. Dio's pipes are as good as they were in 1975 and Ozzy pisses himself on stage. Don't even talk about owning.
Ozzy was never a good vocalist, nor was he a musician, nor was he a lyricist. He was along for the ride, essentially.
Just listen to Sabotage, Volume 4 or Past Lives.
And thank Geezer and Tony.
