True. The online articles all note that he was a peer and friend from the Mod days. And being able to "get along" counts.
OTOH the names you mentioned are arguably brilliant in their own right. I just don't see that spark in Moon's replacement.
- stavros 3y agoFor me, Dio really took Sabbath to the next level. The albums they put out together are amazing, and some of my favorite albums to this day. I was lucky enough to see them in Athens as Heaven and Hell, and it was a once in a lifetime experience.
- epiccoleman 3y agoI like Dio era Sabbath a lot, but it really does feel like a different band in a lot of ways. To some extent that's probably a product of developing musicianship and musical interests among the whole group, but Dio as the frontman definitely is a major vibe change from Ozzy and the sludgy occult warbles of the first few Sabbath albums. For my money, though - thank God we got both versions. I really like Heaven and Hell and also Dehumanizer had some great tracks. And I wouldn't trade Paranoid or Master of Reality for the world.
- stavros 3y agoI agree with all of that, I just prefer Dio. I definitely wouldn't want War Pigs to not have existed, though, or to not have been sung by Ozzy.
