Ozzy Who? DIO Era Black Sabbath Remasters Coming

To some, Black Sabbath without Ozzy is sacrilege. To those uneducated cretins, I suggest you reevaluate with the July release of all the Ronnie James Dio-fronted Sabbath records.

It’s a five-disc box set consisting of four albums: Heaven and Hell, The Mob Rules, Dehumanizer and the Live Evil double-disc.

If you’ve ever thrown up the devil horns at a show, you are in debt to Ronnie James Dio. Pay your respects in person this summer as Dio and the boys headline The Metal Masters Tour.

   I love mob rules.

   How about some Tony Martin fronted Sabbath? Or some Ian Gillan fronted Sabbath.

   I was hoping they’d remaster the Dio era soon. Now they need to take Born Again from the Gillan era and remix it so his vocals aren’t so badly drowned out.

   How ‘Uneducated’ I must be. I still think the simplicity and intensity of songs like “war pigs’ with Ozzy outdoes anything Dio ever did.

   Guess I should listen to ‘Rainbow in the dark’ over and over and over again, and then maybe it’ll make sense.

   Dio-era Sabbath is very good, but Ozzy-era Sabbath is better. Listen to Sabotage and tell me that isn’t the finest piece of complex heavy metal ever made.

   I never got all the Dio-era hate. Heaven and Hell is a metal masterpiece.
