Black Sabbath (with Dio) - "The Mob Rules" live

[TheMma01]

IS NOT HEAVEN AND HEEL.ITS BLACK SABBATH PERIOD.

[memyomu0202]

長男とは言ってない・…（笑）

[TheBrianbrk]

We all love Ozzy, but this phase of Sabbath is just special...Dio brings a different and deeper meaning.. he was the best in my opinion..rest his soul !!

[TheGitte1966]

Ozzy is great! But Heaven and Hell just has so much energy

[kalsadeq61]

I don't care what anybody says, DIO is the best rock vocalist of all time....period.

[Tessmage]

Kids,

Do you know what happens when you team up the "best" singer and the "best" guitarist and the "best" bassist and the "best" drummer..?

You usually end up with a bunch of prima donnas who sounds like shit together.

It doesn't matter if Dio was a better singer than Ozzy. The singer is not an isolated entity... he has to project the essence of his band into the audience.

There's an intrinsic quality to all of this stuff... that's what I'm saying. For Sabbath, Ozzy was it. Dio was not..

[diamante3689]

excellent video!

[ThatKrookedVulture]

I worship both singers, but Black Sabbath with Dio was far superior to Sabbath with Ozzy.

[1norville]

Ozzy is great. Dio is awesome!!!

[ardee1978]

R.I.P Ronnie James Dio and GOD BLESS YOU MAN

[miiirskiii]

why "with Dio" is like this ( ... ) ?

[darodaro9]

@miiirskiii To clarify it wasnt Ozzy

[miiirskiii]

@darodaro9 well it shouldn't be in ( ) because it's Black Sabbath with Dio and it's Heaven and hell. I just like Dio a lot and I didn't like the fact that you have written (with Dio) nevermind it's not a big problem

[darodaro9]

@miiirskiii this isnt my video so i have no idea why he actually did it

[miiirskiii]

@darodaro9 right, sorry I didn't see the names lol

[louiebaur]

The Mob Rules!

[tigab122]

DIO was maybe old , but in this vid he sure have a lot of energy

[CaptainZero264]

I find both Singers are the shit but some song i find Ozzy just go with them and same go with Dio Such as Iron Man, and Paranoid is the best with Ozzy. But Heaven and Hell, and Voodoo go good with Dio. Both were amazing singers and ill like to see if there will be a next best singer to keep Black Sabbath going.

[Dudul2358]

regarding sabbath, there is a clear distinction between the dio years and the ozzy years. but all of them were golden because all of them were sabbath. for you people who love ozzy and dont think dio didnt belong, imagine life without heaven and hell, maybe then you will stop debating nonsense and enjoy the music

[nevrkenesr]

Dio owns Ozzy

[ghadipeter]

Wasn't it the concert together with Judas Priest, somewhere in Long Island? If so it was awesome, except those guys who were playing with a beach ball and Dio I think was pissed off

[Razorking2011]

Great Seats! Great video work!

[cuteguysocal]

this is 100% black sabbath

just look at the line up on the back cover of the black sabbath mob rules LP from 1981

Iommi,Appice,Dio,Butler. same as what you see in this video So if it was sabbath then why should it change now???

case closed

[mhaley89]

i love the band black sabbath ozzy or dio as long its geezer tony and billy i love this band bill ward is a great singer and any true fan knows that vinnie is a good drummer too.i love it all but the ozzy years and the dio years are epic and any true music lover knows why.NO DEBATE!!!!!!!

[jtomasik]

Dio: Biggest short man on the planet.  The guy was a BEAST!!

[soumyaaymous]

3 people are GONNA GET MOBBED !!!!

[soumyaaymous]

maybe sabbath should have tried a song where both ozzy and dio sang a verse each...that would have been something wouldnt it?

[TheCozybear65]

of coarse the 1980 tour was better!

[TheCozybear65]

tHIS TOUR KICKED SOME ASS!!

[StoneColdKrazy1]

Ozzie and Dio both had there say in the raise of Black Sabbath..I've seen ever version of Sabbath and these two where the best front men ever to grace the stage

[Legionbass19]

I love Ozzy's songs with Black Sabbath, as I love Ronnie's songs with Black Sabbath and Heaven and Hell. They are both two of the greatest (as in legendary) vocalists heavy metal has and will ever had. But I honestly believe Ronnie is a better singer. Ozzy is a better frontman.

[zzGRENDELzz]

Face facts folks - after "sabbath bloddy sabbath" the rest of the band just flipping LOST it - the last three albums are terrible and I don't blame Ozzy - his first two solo Lps are some of the best rock Lps ever!

Listen to Born again with Gillan - that sucks too. I was there when this shit came out - the progression in real time fucking sucked - it was painful. I'd got to the point I was sick of wasting money on their shitty LPs.

So - WHO saved Sabbath???

His initials are RJD.

[LoveMetalForever100]

As a fellow Torontonian, so sorry I missed this show. The Mob Rules in Toronto!!!!!

[MetalMistress888]

Great stage set.



[Toma4449]

I seem to be the only one out of everyone I know who prefers Dio for Black Sabbath instead of Ozzy.

[neilyoungster]

@Toma4449 You're not the only one! Dio fan here BIG TIME! I think Sabs were more of a group than they were with Ozzy. They seemed to be more of a backing band for Ozzy then. (Not that I don't love Ozzy too, I just think he was better on his own...)

[neilyoungster]

@Toma4449 : Dio rules! Ozzy is greaat, but I prefer Sabbath, the Dio years. This was my favourite Sabs song, Ozzy or Dio.

[Alwaystuned]

I think DIO took his stage presence more seriously than Ozzy. I love Ozzy though so no hate mail.

[DayHopper]

how the fuck did ozzy outlive dio

[nostalgia43]

@DayHopper.. Dio is seven years older than Ozzy..

[chonchasapx]

Master Dio, RIP

[Keo110]

Long live dio

[worryphree]

Fuckin' yes!!!

[grimraper666]

[chrisnealxxx]

Ronnie James Dio fuckin rocks. BEST METAL VOCALIST EVER!!!!

RIP RONNIE

[toolman6396]

say hi to tony

[MrChilenoscio]

black sabbath/heaven and hell ... is the same

[phillyutah]

hansvink15 is correct, how could you be at the concert and not know this? clue in...

[kilmo88]

too bad they didn't do this with the Ozzy reunion. There are plenty of Dio tunes that Ozzy would sound good with.

[sporty2000]

0: 21 Tony walks out on the stage and he is saying to himself ... "That's right I'm da man...I'm da man." And he is so right!

[MrGeorgios2020]

I am a huge Black Sabbath fan and I love Ozzy Osbourne, but I honestly think Ronnie James Dio in Sabbath was technically a far superior singer. I can guarantee you that most Sabbath fans will disagree (and I know how sensitive they are on this issue) but I apologise in advance. I just like to call a spade a spade.

[chrislksrockets]

@MrGeorgios2020 Regardless of which band he was in, Dio will always be a better vocalist. There is simply no comparison between the two.

[Youngheadbanger1997]

@chrislksrockets you can't compare the two they are both incredible vocalist and both were great in sabbath and solo

[NeonKnight101]

@MrGeorgios2020 All I gotta say, at least you ain't an ass about it.

[pteeng1]

@MrGeorgios2020 I agree with you totally. Sabbath with Dio were a total breath of fresh air from the latter Ozzy-period. In my opinion, musically, Sabbath's music assumed a new, updated menacing quality. Great stuff!

[charliegrs]

@MrGeorgios2020 I like Sabbath with Ozzy better, but I agree Dio was a much better singer. The Ozzy era sabbath of the 70s to me seemed grittier, rawer, almost more punk like which is why I like it better. The Dio years to me seemed more metal, more new wave of british metal (it was the same period of time) which I also love but it was more refined than the Ozzy stuff.

[strat5150]

@MrGeorgios2020 I for one completely agree!

[terminator2570]

@MrGeorgios2020 Don't apologize dude! I too am a rabid fan of Black Sabbath in particular the stuff with RJD! He was perfect fit for Sabbath. FAR superior than Ozzy. Btw, damn good vid! Check out mine from Chicago one of the last gigs The Great RJD did. August 19, 2009 Charter One Pavillion. I recorded about half the show from second row. The audio turned out terrible but the vid is awesome!! Be sure to check out Follow the Tears. I got a VERY good close up of RJD. The other vids are good too.

[rickomi777]

@MrGeorgios2020

Perhaps more technically superior, but that's not the most important criteria when judging these two singers. Ozzys body of work over the span of his career with Sabbath and as a solo artist is superior. His unique live performances and onstage charisma as well as his signature distinctive sound have a greater appeal with Rock audiences. Most of the classic Sabbath music is sung by Ozzy & his trademark songs are more memorable and influential with young and older fans alike.

[rickomi777]

@rickomi777... Besides that, for decades Ozzy has surrounded himself with some of the most talented & innovative musicians like Randy, Aldrige,Trujillo, and Zakk....setting the standard higher for bands that aspired to be successful.

[pegasus51505317]

@MrGeorgios2020 I could not agree with you more..... a much more superior band with Dio as Dio is a much better singer than ozzy could ever be.

[VIDOTTONATOR]

@MrGeorgios2020 I am Sabbath HUGE FAN. And I could agree more. AMEN TO THAT!

[VIDOTTONATOR]

Responder a este vídeo...  I MISS DIO SO MUCH!

[Wyndrax]

@MrGeorgios2020 Ozzy has a cool voice that somehow fitted perfectly the songs they made when he was in the band.

Dio, on the other hand, was a beast. He was the greatest of all the black sabbath singers, followed very closely by Ray Gillen.

[MrChubbleyWarner]

@MrGeorgios2020 - maybe...but being technically superior don't always mean better to the listener..it's in the tone of the voice that we love the singer not how technical correct the notes are IMO

[hansvink15]

I'm sorry but this is Heaven And Hell not Black Sabbath;)

[SimplySweetsJapan]

holy shit! what kind of camera did you use. crystal clear.  awesome!

does anyone have any ideas for getting cleaner sound when you're this close or is that just not possbile?

[canadaguy2112ca]

RIP..

[caralhotephoda]

RIP Dio

[SuperPelimies]

Yeah.. when i think of ... just to say ... disscussion... about better bands ... i would say Stargazer owns Stairway.. 6-0 ... but ....

[detroitjc]

When i think of DIO, i think about Bonn Scott, Bruce Dickenson, and Brad Delp, Some of the best voices ever in rock music! period! The Holy Diver Album is one of the best Metal Albums ever! If your into the best metal/hard rock music .you have some DIO in your music collection. DIO...You will be missed

[ccbm2112]

...I mean fu#k... RJD just sounded like a GOD here ( then again when didnt he ?? )...now less than 2yrs. later he gone ?....heartbreaking ! The guy was incredible !!!

[jkshackelford]

Heavy Metal really lost a legend. God Bless you Ronnie, you were and will always be awesome in my books. What a voice this guy had. He was a class act.

R.I.P. Ronnie James Dio

from a forever fan

[kingofallwhites]

He should be in the hall of fame for this song alone!

[Eradhras]

Rest in Peace Ronnie James Dio.

[MrFlatspace]

hey,

even if you listen to 'smartypants' THE MOB RULES.

[MrFlatspace]

@MrFlatspace P.S. a devil's advocate is someone who takes a position he or she does not necessarily agree with for the sake of argument. This process can also be used to test the quality of the original argument and identify weaknesses in its structure.

[slowpog]

Rest in peace Ronnie James Dio

[keexer]

rock on ronnie

[Fantoft666Aske]

Rest in Peace

[ajones35]

RIP

[1deadjamie]

he will be missed rip ronnie dio

[EduEVLN]

I totally agree with Jaymzhellfyre, but I think that after all those years of Ozzfest with Ozzy as the singer in BLACK SABBATH this lineup needs another name.

When they play any song from previous Sabbath albums, DIO says "this is a song from the 1st...or 2nd album we did together" ....he never says anything about BLACK SABBATH.

I think it's some kind of respect, and I respect that too.

BTW.... great video!!!!

DIO RULES!!!

Long Live H&H!!!!!

[VampLucretia]

and i was here because my mom blew Geezer Butler's bass tech, Bob Scatterfield and got free tickets.

[Jaymzhellfyre]

I hate how people think that Black Sabbath suddenly becomes Heaven and Hell when Dio is singing. The albums are titled under Black Sabbath. The album Heaven and Hell is a Black Sabbath album, and it's one of the most important metal albums ever. Much better without Ozzy.

[TheJaydeeOldBoy]

Youll find the only reason the Black Sabbath name remained on the Dio albums is because the record label and Don Arden wouldnt let Tony change the name, Bill didnt want to keep the name and neither did Geezer: "it should of been reitred when ozzy left".

Black Sabbath and Paranoid are the most important metal albums ever, the Dio albums are actually closer to hard rock than metal, no expert will disssagree on that, as for it beig better than ozzy albums, well the numbers beg to differ.

[payko526]

@TheJaydeeOldBoy The Dio albums are actually closer to Power Metal than Hard Rock, whereas the classic Sabbath lineup is probably the most influential doom metal band in history. Many experts will disagree with you on this. Also, since when have numbers meant anything? Nickleback's albums have probably sold the same or more than any of Sabbath's albums, Ozzy or Dio. Your logic is then saying that Nickleback is better?

[TheJaydeeOldBoy]

@payko526

1)Dio Sabbath is not closer to power metal.

2)Sabbath is the most influential Metal band, Doom Metal is a spin off from Sabbath and many other bands that spornd from Sabbath.

3)The only music experts who will disagree with me are music critics who arent experts or musicians, only journalists with their own opinions.

4) Nickleback wasnt around during the 70s or 80s when record sales really did matter and mean something, Nicklesback is also a mainstream band, Sabbath has never been.

[payko526]

@TheJaydeeOldBoy

1) Dio era Sabbath had epic guitar lines, songs about Kings, Dragons, Voodoo, and other various mythos. So, Power Metal.

2) Sabbath is a doom band. The label might not have been around back then, but they are a DOOM band, probably the most straightforward ever.

3) Actually, pretty much any musician will tell you Dio-led Sabbath was a highly-influential POWER METAL band.

4) The self-titled record was number 8 in the UK for a spell. #1 at the time? Simon and Garfunkel.

[TheJaydeeOldBoy]

@payko526

1)Dio era had metal riffs not related to the style or structure or power metal riffs. Power metal isnt determined by the theme of the song, but the sound and style of music writing and structure.

2)Sabbath have some doomy tracks, they are the definition of metal, dio era also contains doomy tracks but even you will admit dio era isnt doom metal

[TheJaydeeOldBoy]

@payko

3)Sabbath was influence for all types of metal bands being the first of the genre any spin off can and should be attributed to then, it doesn't however make them a member of any of those genres

4)Simon and Garfunkel... so, are you trying to compare this very old band with Heavy Metal, two different areas of the music business entailing totally different types of music and fans. You may as well compare Motorhead with Take That. Are being stupid on purpose or are you really this moronic?

[payko526]

@TheJaydeeOldBoy "are you trying to compare this very old band with Heavy Metal"

Yes, because Sabbath is also very old. 40 years now, if I'm not mistaken. I compared them to another band that was at the top of the charts at THE SAME POINT IN TIME, so as to prove that numbers STILL don't mean jack shit. S&G sold more records than Sabbath at that time, and would therefore be "better" by your definition (Ozzy Sabbath> Dio Sabbath because Ozzy Sabbath sold more records).

[TheJaydeeOldBoy]

@payko526

To make that comparison you need to compare metal or hard rock bands. NOT two totally different types of music, fans and business. What type of music is S&G... because believe it isnt Metal or Hard Rock and therefore irrelevant, as i explained in my PREVIOUS comment. Led Zeppelin shot Sabbath to pieces in the 70s with record sales, because they were better as Sabbath also did to motorhead. True its not always the case but with the majority it applies and most certainly with Sabbath

[payko526]

@TheJaydeeOldBoy You're still equating quality and quantity. There were significantly BETTER metal bands than, let's say, mid-90's Metallica, yet Metallica was still selling out arenas, still selling more albums, and still more popular. Again, quality does not imply quantity, and vice versa. Just because an album is good (Neurosis' Through Silver in Blood) doesn't mean it will sell well (Metallica's Load). Dio was leaps and bound a better singer than Ozzy, and his music was much better.

[btyoga]

I was here, we get free tickets cuz my mom married Geezer Butler's nephew, Pedro Howse.

[gutrupture]

who gives a flying fuk ??

[EduEVLN]

@btyoga Pedro Howse.... the one who recorded the 1st G/Z/R album??

lol

cheers!!!

[SexyYfronts]

this every bit as Black Sabbath as they where with Ozzy, fuck off back to X factor Sharon Osbourne

[LoveMetalForever100]

@SexyYfronts Slow down, take a breath, everyone is entitled to their opinion. Black Sabbath was there for all rockers, no matter who fronted the band. \m/

[spinksy1979]

in my eyes Black Sabbath consists off, John Osbourne, Terrance Butler, William Ward and Anthony Iommi. Not this fucking goof!

[drewbacsi]

Both are cool. Seems cool that they don't turn their backs on anyone but embrace the history of the band, all the twists and turns.

[benchmat]

Simply the BEST! Whoa! Let the MOB RULE!

[zoolanderfred]

KICK ASS Thanks for sharing!

[MrPotatoTrooper]

Such a kick ass show, I was so happy that they opened with my favourite song :)

[searaydrivingguy]

fuck great seats!

[yamila68]

"If you listen to fools...the mob rules!"

F#@K yeah!

[GuardianOFZEBlind]

WHOA! Why did Dio get back with Black Sabbath???? Fill me on in this!

[quibb666]

because it's not black sabbath, it's Heaven And Hell. it is an old Sabbath line up yeah but Sabbath are actually on hiatus i think

[nmillwater33]

they play songs from the black sabbath album heaven and hell though its kinda confusing

[Valkbg]

They play all the songs Dio made with Black Sabbath. Not only from Heaven and Hell.

[Valkbg]

I think this is the Heaven and Hell project. Read it on Wiki.

[oldpunkster]

Tony Iommi is the man! That album was so amazing!

[Nuudles12]

Wow ,I know this is amazing to be in the row of such gifted legends and what else can anybody say . thank you for a wonderful video. These guys are Gods.

[harveydents]

I saw them last year they were fucking amazing. Then Priest came out and THEy were amazine! Ronnies 68 and he sings better than most 20 year old metal wanna be fucks!

[oldirontits]

I was there!! on the grass

[56BUICKRiviera]

I got tickets to see these guys in sj aug 10Icant wait

[FreddieBest]

I want to see them too but I don't get tickets :( I hope I'll see them before Dio's too old...

[56BUICKRiviera]

the show was moved to the warfield sf. It kicked so much ass! my ears are still ringing

[oberfour]

Dio is 68 years old! The man just simply kicks ass.

[MazzaFella]

is Dio wearing plastic pants or am i just wasted?

[pixiewings1]

pretty good seats, eh buddy?

[mrjcoolness]

wow Dio has sounded super old but on this he sounds fucking fantastic

[RonKaczmarek]

Man I saw them the day before this show in Hamburg. I was front row in front of Geezer!!!!!!!!!

[jpjoneser]

It's incredible how great Dio still sounds.

[rudimass]

@jpjoneser long live Dio

[DontEatEggs666]

@jpjoneser What do you mean? He's dead! Is that some kind of sick joke you sadistic son of a bitch!?!?

[spentonmediocrity]

@DontEatEggs666

Err...the guy made that comment while Dio was *still* alive.

[labsub]

This song's about how fucked up, democracy is. IE: dictatorship.

[Diofan1952]

AWESOME! One of the best Sab. songs..

Thank you for uploading.

[pullybrit]

Dammmmmmmnnnnnnnnn!!!!!!

[goneshootin22]
