    Very True. The people who fucking post bullshit like “DIO > OZZY” should be shot. DIO should be in jail for murdering the greatest band ever and turning them into an 80s sounding band.

    GOD BLESS BILL, OZZY, GEEZER AND TONY. We are not worthy of their greatness.

    That first album still holds up with any metal album, 37 years later. I dont know about dio being killed, but ozzy definetly was better.

    Black Sabbath has been awesome for 37 years, in (almost) all their incarnations. The Ozzy years were great, the Dio years were too, and so was Born Again. So there.

    Hunter, the dio years were not black sabbath. Black Sabbath changed music forever. What Dio did changed nothing, influenced nothing.

    i have that album on vinyl, sooooo good.

    Hey 57, Dio with Sabbath rocked. That’s all they had to do. Ozzy is not the be-all, end-all of that band.

  14. 57Sprinklesofpain says:

    hey cunter, how legendary albums did Dio make with Tony Bill and Geezer? 0. Ozzy is the be-all, end-all of that band. Its fine if you dont believe me but just ask any good metal band. ANNNNNNNNNNNNNND if he was SO GREAT in sabbath why are they touring under the name Heaven and Hell? I KNOW I KNOW. “Their is only one Black Sabbath, thats Tony IommI, Bill Ward, Geezer Butler, and Ozzy Osbourne.” Tony IommI.

  15. hunter_killer says:

    Ooooh, “cunter”, my feelings are really hurt. Dio made 2 legendary albums with Sabbath, Heaven & Hell and The Mob Rules. I doubt you’ve ever heard them. I don’t have to ask “any good metal band” their opinion on the matter, because a: I’m in one and b: I really only care about what I like. AAANNNNNDDDD they’re touring under the name Heaven And Hell because Ozzy and Sharon own the rights to the Black Sabbath name.

    I’m done.

  16. 57Sprinklesofpain says:

    Heaven & Hell and The Mob Rules arent legendary albums. Ask any average metal listener to name 4 Legendary Sabbath albums and i promise it wont include either of those two albums.
    As for you being in a good metal band, i am so curious which “GOOD METAL” band are you in? I cant wait to hear this.

    I don’t give a rat’s ass about what the “average metal listener” knows. And I’m in 8 Weeks Dead.
