thanks
>Who were they really?
Musicians.
>What's their best album?
Paranoid. I don't care if it is their most popular, it's still the best.
Is Ozzy a filthy wife beater?
Possibly. Why would I care?
>>52944266
Black Sabbath's best vocalist was Ronnie James Dio , and the best album was Heaven And Hell , Sabbath Bloody Sabbath is the second best.
Tony Martin was also pretty good
heavy

>ozzys bulge
Yeah, Tony Martin is pretty good.
>the headless croooooossssss
My favorite album is Master of Reality, followed closer by Heaven and Hell, that little guy is based.
Heaven And Hell really didn't have any good songs except Neon Knights and Lady Evil. Children Of The Sea is possibly one of the worst Sabbath songs ever.
I saw DIO live when i was 15 yo, I could not believe he was 58 yo at the time, extremely good singer.

>He doesn't like Tyr and Headless Cross.

He aged exceptionally well even into his 60s. There's footage of his last concert (August 2009) on Youtube. Some shitbag Phillyfaggot hocks an Eagles jersey at him on stage and he dodges it like a boss (the dude apparently did it because Dio was a Giants fan).

Headless Cross is amazing
>>52944862
>TA
Also as you were told, Headless Cross and Tyr
>>52945272
Technical EcstAsy
>>52945117
I don't know why so many people loved it, Dio even played it in his band later on.
>>52945117
Title track is ok but not great.
Here is my Sabbath CD collection
1/2
>>52945459
Here is my Sabbath Vinyl collection
2/2
1.Ozzy
2.Martin
3.Dio
13 is a pretty good album too. It doesn't compare to their first 3 albums, but it's certainly better than Never Say Die or Technical Ecstasy

He's not a wife beater if he gets beat back on a regular basis and the beatings occur at the same time.

Although I will admit what the band did to Bill Ward. You can't even say "Bill Ward" on their facebook page without getting your post deleted and possibly getting banned.
Bill Ward was so strongly against the direction that Dio was taking the band in that he dropped out halfway through the H&H Tour.

DIO was a nice change of pace for the band. A lot of Sabbath neophytes give Ozzy waaaaay too much credit. All Ozzy did was sing the lyrics Geezer Butler wrote (which were pretty awesome) but Ozzy had little creative influence in the band.
Dio on the other hand wrote most of the lyrics during the Heaven and Hell era, and it was fucking awesome.
I like Ozzy era Sabbath, but just because it was the formative Sabbath. Dio Sabbath is sooooooo rad.

Tony Iommi: "We had a lot of the pieces for Heaven & Hell written by the summer of '79, but Ozzy just couldn't seem to wrap his head around the material."

My collection - forgot my Master vinyl
>>52945666
I just heard he was drunk as a skunk and didn't think there should be a band at all without Ozzy. He did the drumming on Born Again though.
Underrated album coming through
>>52945766
The album Heaven and Hell feature the most beautiful Sabbath songs ever made, and some of the most beautiful rock and roll songs ever. The album features Tony's best solos and Geezer's best bass lines. Truly a remarkable record. Lonely is the Word is one of the most hauntingly beautiful songs I have ever heard, it ranks pretty high up there along with Priest's Beyond the Realms of Death.
Ozzy wouldnt have been able to pull off any of the vocals on that album.
The grim vibe that dio gave to black sabbath is cool in Dehumanizer, and his solo album Lock Up the Wolves is dark and slow too.
Well...Dio loved his witches-and-warlocks schtick since the Rainbow days in the 70s, but as the 80s was beginning, it happened to coincide with then-contemporary pop culture trends.
tl;dr he was just in the right place at the right time

A lot of people say Mob Rules is as good if not better, but I only ever really liked the title track and Southern Cross. The rest range from pretty okay to just weak for me.
>>52945838
Sign of the Southern Cross is my fav song off Mob Rules, but because of Heaven and Hell and especially Lonely is the Word, Heaven and Hell takes the cake for me.
I'm listening to Lonely is the Word right now. Soooooo awesome.
>>52945816
dude yes
all that guitar phrasing through all the album is just beautiful, remember me blues songs with the improvisation and stuff
>>52945869
I dont know who you are, but I fucking love you. Cheers, mate

Also during the album tour, Dio sang all of the back catalog like a boss. He in fact could sing Ozzy's songs better than Ozzy.
I have seen Black Sabbath live and I have seen Heaven and Hell live. It was awesome seeing the old crew back together again (minus bill ward of course) and they sounded pretty good. Really good, actually. One of the best shows I've ever been to.
Heaven and Hell was really good too though and Dio was one of the most beautiful musicians ever put on this Earth. I remember I was in Army basic training when I read of his passing, and it really bummed me out.
I don't think I will really give a shit when Ozzy dies, because he is kind of a piece of shit. It really bums me out to think that Tony will die before Ozzy, and that cunt of a woman Sharon Osbourne will try to capitalize off his death...
Geezer Butler and Tony Iommi have always been the backbone of Black Sabbath. I fucking hate sharon
>>52945940
Yeah. I love that live album. wow!!!!!
>>52945792
How much Headless Cross cost you ?
