Dio/Iommi -god rest ye merry gentlemen

[rpgdude2008]

king Midas and Dio must have made similar deals cause every thing Dio touched became METAL!

[WickedKnightAlbel]

These sound like lyrics Dio might've actually written himself

[praetorianus72]

@WickedKnightAlbel Yes, I did notice that. This song could have be on "master of the moon".

[reknak]

8 people must be deaf...

[BLGames4Eva]

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!

[degenerate315]

this is fucking epic

[1Liltemp]

\,,/ Merry Christmas everyone...\,,/

[STM9890570006]

i paused bam's unholy union for lisnin to this song \m/

[krisroks117]

this isnt just Dio and Iommi, its ALL of Black Sabbath.

[McCareyJesse]

@krisroks117 No, Rudy Sarzo and Simon Wright are/were from Dio.

[naturalthing1]

God rest the King of Rock n Roll

[CantNoScope]

@naturalthing1 Amen to that

[1r0nm41d3n41yf3]

MrDimitrie22 amen!

[powertool360]

Merry Xmas Mr. Dio!

[filbertflange]

Long live Ronnie!! Best pipes in Rock n' Roll!!! \m/

[moonwatcher211]

That time of year again. Fuck yeah!

[BLGames4Eva]

You know why there's two minutes of silence after this song? So your mind can recover from being BLOWN!

[rockneo1000]

the god of rock.....play in the sky man.....god bless you neo

[LinusofPittsburg]

Them 6 people who clicked on dislike need to seek mental treatment. they do not konw good music when they hear it.

[TheTAVADI]

magariaa



[MrDimitrie22]

This is going to be my official 2011 christmas song. RESERVED BITCHES

[ChaosMaster7]

@MrDimitrie22 sorry mate, i reserved this to all good little metalheads since 2008, so you get pop music and coal for that statement.

[MrDimitrie22]

@ChaosMaster7 Pop music and coal? I'd rather cut myself open with a razor blade and be sodomized by Pedobear!

[geckoslick]

God rest ye Dio

[DFILLJ]

@geckoslick TOUCHE DUDE

[RodoOsoki]

Merry Christmas, everyone, and RIP, Dio.God Rest Ye, Merry Gentleman.

[noni13able]

Dio will never die in our metal and he is ther up sending heavy metal inspirations to us all \m/ Merry Cristmas to you all and a happy new year \m/

[Andragon90]

The voice... there is only one this mighty! 'Tis Dio!

[richardleebarf]

This is awesome, I have always liked this carol, and played it on my guitar. Now with the magic of Dio and Iommi I now know how It should have sounded. Hauntingly wonderful guitar riffs with vocals to match. I love the rewrite of the song also.

[nickditommaso]

Dio is rockin' this song in Heaven now... with angels as his backup vocalists. RIP.

[BMarcheff]

The combination of Dio and Tony is really explosive... i any sense... The riifs and solos of Tony plus the magnificent voice of Dio - what better metal?

[geokonn]

disgusting!

[MrTylerRich]

@geokonn the only one thing i see thats disgusting here is you, faggot

[geokonn]

@MrTylerRich what else can i hear from a stupid american like you...

[MrTylerRich]

@geokonn hmmm that you suck dick? hows that?

[smithdsmit]

every time i listen to this.I have a new favorite part.this time its from3:03 on

[Danowar1990]

SATAN'S POWER!!!!! \m/

[MrDimitrie22]

@Danowar1990 Santa, you idiot..

[RagnaroekChaos]

With Dio singing it the line

"And unto certain shepherds

Brought tidings of the same"

sends chills up my spine.

He's up there now, teaching the angels how to sing.

[ibeatingu123]

omg. I came on myself when the riff kicked in..and I came even more when DIO started singing. Truely an amazing version of this song. DIO will forever be remembered. He's the lead singer in the Band up in Metal Heaven. with John Bonham(Zeppelin) on drums, Dimebag(pantera) on Guitar, and Cliff B.(Metallica) on Bass.

[MrTylerRich]

@ibeatingu123 id choose Cozy Powell(Rainbow) on drums, i think hes a way better drummer than john bonham

[BlazingHawk10]

@ibeatingu123 theres a lot better people for guitar

[ibeatingu123]

@BlazingHawk10 true...then hows about Randy Rhodes on lead guitar....

[allnightjohnson]

@BlazingHawk10 Maybe, but were it not for Iommi, most of them wouldn't exist. One of, if not the, most influential metal guitarist ever.

[BlazingHawk10]

@allnightjohnson that was irrelevant

[allnightjohnson]

@BlazingHawk10 Well I'm glad some piss-ant kid has set me straight. I saw your profile. You clearly have a better understanding of music that was made before you were born then someone  who was alive back then. You have no idea what the fuck you are talking about.

[BlazingHawk10]

@allnightjohnson dumass do you not relize what my comment was about i love tony iommi i replied to another comment saying theres better guitarist who are dead then the one who he said was rocking with dio now

[allnightjohnson]

@BlazingHawk10 My bad. I didn't read that far back. But you wouldn't call me "dumass" (is that anything like dumbass?) if you were standing in front of me.

[tonyiommirox]

6 people were so blown away by this song the accidentally hit the dislike button.

- either that or they like Justin Beiber..

[PunkDirector86]

@tonyiommirox No, I think the six people are the asshole from the Westboro Baptist Church

[Rocnark]

Dio isnt dead he was just called to sing in The Valhala at one side of Thor

[Tenozuma]

watch?v=Z-yhgt312Sw - check out the relative similarity ^^

[Xnothinbetter2dewX]

tony iommi = pure 100% undisputed win!!!

[chrisproctor123]

6 people are stupid.

[MrDimitrie22]

This should wear the banner of "Heaven and Hell" because its so devilishly angelic <3

[ForViewingOnly]

So heavy! Dio's voice is just amazing \m/

[Max0Inq]

I'm singing this song with choir of my academy... but in more polite arrangement :D

[PvtRichardCranium]

This is pretty scary...

[fuckamericanidiot]

@PvtRichardCranium ehh?

[kbrantley1979]

good ol dio, rest his soul

[ttheChooK]

this shall be my official 2010 christmas song...

[Dioliveson55]

my favorite way of saying merry Christmas.

[harveydents]

ozzy who? DIO contributed more in sabbath than OZZy ever could HOPE to do! Dont get me wrong i love the OZMAN but CHRIST, DIO WAS THE MOST UNDERRATED MUSICIAN EVER TO WALK THIS PLANET!

[EvangelionFan]

@harveydents not entirely true, on that last note, ANY metalhead knows Dio and if they dont then let them listen and they will.

[mashui99]

@EvangelionFan Very true, if you're a metalhead how do you not know Dio?

[greyjohnstone]

@harveydents I'll see your Dio and raise you Andy Latimer. Or David Gilmour. Or Andy McKee. No, none of them metal-I'll grant that. But all of them AMAZING musicians, none of whom get their dues. Dio IS underrated, I'll not say different-but when you bring in the entire planet-well, that opens up a whole new can of worms, mate.

Dio, God Rest Your Soul, mate-You're missed!

[ratbatblu]

How could anyone dislike this? I mean, really? This is 6:49 of pure awesomeness.

[Matheoosh]

@ratbatblu In fact it is about 4:00 of pure awesomeness. Rest is a silence but it is a masterpiece anyway.

[caioenzo]

Scientists can continue their research on the Hadron Collider now, 'cuz if the universe didnt explode having Dio and Lemmy in the same place, nothing ever will.

[alposchris]

@caioenzo That's a good point!

[papstbenni]

now that sounds like some fucking rocking christmas for me!

rock in peace dio, thanks for everything! \m/

[irontyrant]

DIO IS GOD



[slash15953]

anyone have tabs for this?

[BarefootRadio]

lol ok. RIP DIO!

[Rustyshackleford08]

I will be playing this every Christmas..an not Christmas,

RIP Ronnie.

[gardnerklein]

He may be physically gone but he will live on in the hearts of all his fans.

[Agghasi]

I love Iommi guitar Style,sounds doomy

R.I.P Ronnie James Dio

[agathon75]

This is to my knowledge, the last song our DIO recorded. God rest ye Ronald Padavona! xxx

[cuetec502]

rest in peace dio, you were the best voice music has ever had.

[Paganguy1]

Dio is GOD! Let us praise His name!

(I'm fairly serious about this...)

[Gero6]

It sounds like Candlemass!

I´ll pray 4 U Dio.

[autorunner]

Whether or not Dio is able to conquer cancer, he is still immortal. I'm jamming my thumb into the left side of my chest, and saying the founding fathers or metal will never die in here.

[KherZhul]

Dio can't die from cancer... He can't die at all! He's god's equal... and somehow his opposite.... But anyway...

!!!DIO ROCKS!!!

[stillofthenightcl]

Merry Xmas Ronnie, get well soon!!! A lot of love from Chile!!!

[satan666himself]

only tony could make this sound so dirty its awsome

[earlfenwick]

Satan as we know (him?) is not like the opposiste and/ore equal of the god thing, He is an invention of The Church to keep the peasants in line. Don't be a peasant...unless you're into that sort of thing. Which is nice, of course.

[AcrylicMockingbird]

\m/ do it for DIO!!!

[uzariel]

We love you DIO !!!!!

Fred Malizia. Composer.

[Mogidisimo]

2/4th of Black Sabbath/Heaven & Hell, 3/5th of DIO, how much more awesome can it get? Really, really hope RJD will be able to claim victory over this fucking cancer, so he can kick our collective asses once again very soon. Long live rock 'n' roll, long live Ronnie James Dio!

[FjetShadow]

Great song/cover...god bless you Dio make that cancer your bitch

[edseventh]

fking awesome.

[gardnerklein]

only Dio could make a christmas song this metal. \m/ Dio will never die

[ruglayr]

@gardnerklein ...RIP Dio, a legend

[lion4e]

@gardnerklein sorry to brake it to you, but he kind of did, this Sunday, but if you ment in the hearts of every Rocker in World, then yeah, he will never die, R.I.P. Dio, and keep rocking in heaven!

[kouradoman]

@gardnerklein i dont think so :P

[OnWeedProductions]

@gardnerklein

Unfortunately, and I did not check to see if this was posted earlier, but he has died, but never shall his legacy die

god rest his soul

[bigpoo1]

@gardnerklein  Badum tiss

[bigpoo1]

@gardnerklein but in all seriousness, RIP Dio

[BagOfGlass]

@gardnerklein Looks like you were wrong.

[metalheadrocker44]

@gardnerklein Gods Don't Die Just Their Bodys Not Their Souls Ever \../ Dio \../

[LordJimmyK]

God bless you, Dio! Get better! We love you!

[ravenwing613]

Seems to me that most of the people who think true metal is anti Christian are the people in the church. Especially the 13-year-old kids who are trying to be rebellious from whatever the current christian fad is and be "edgy".

[zombiepi]

@ravenwing613 True true true. Dave Mustaine makes it no secret that he is a Christian.

[Crabowski4370]

DIO YOU ARE IN MY PRAYERS!!!

[LordBezalel]

I find it hilarious that all of these try hard satanists are only that way because they are buying into the stigmatization of metal. Fools.

Dio, Alice Cooper, Tom Araya, and countless others in the secular metal scene are actually christians. It seems only the duncecap section of their fans are buying into the satanic stuff.

Lyrics are no different than writing a horror story. Edgar Allen Poe wrote about murder and mayhem...but he was not a murderer.

[LordBezalel]

if people cannot differentiate between facts and fiction they need to be in a padded room being monitored by psychiatrists.

[thewelderdude]

damn this is heavy!

[bobs192]

jesus fuckin christ u dudes are retarded!! stop tryin to say metal is cristian, the singer for slayer is catholic too u fuckin spastic and stop tryin to be soldiers of jesus and bullshit!! if wer comparing metal to religion how about metallica? the greatest metal band of all time, none of them are christian and alot of their lyrics are anti religion, peace spastics!!

[Cagalli2]

Dumbass. They're actually very pro Christian.

[philipweller93]

hetfield is a christian, many of metallicas songs are biblical such as creeping death and the four hoursemen

[gibsongold1970]

nitarbell, ARE YOU SERIOUS?

have you any idea of the power

from beyond?

typical little weasel.

you have a quick mouth over YOUTUBE.

we will see how you fair on" HIS"

GREAT JUDGEMENT DAY.

I PROMISE YOU WILL SEE THAT DAY.

[lorddeath31]

Raptor jesus is the true messiah

[gibsongold1970]

to save us all from satan's power!

GOD IS OUR ROCK!

AND HE PLAYS IT HEAVIER

THAN ANY ROCK BAND WE KNOW!

THIS SONG SHOULD BE PLAYED

IN CURCH FOR ALL TO BE REMINDED

OF THE WONDERS OF THE MOST-HIGH

GOD.HE IS OUR SAVIOUR!

ROCK ON BROTHERS AND SISTERS!

[nitarbell]

Haha! Religious troll! It's funny you think it should be played in a church, as your God is Jewish.

[F0xyTh3F0x]

I want to see if we can play this version at mass this year lol

[cormermusic]

The person singing this is one of the most respected metal singers in the world and he, along with the guitarist who is more so respected, are Catholic.

Metal artists being satanists is something made up by media and encouraged by posers like slayer.

Most metal artists don't even believe in satan to begin with.

[JoseEdo]

Tom Araya is religious, he just writes stuff because he likes to. He's said so.

[LordBezalel]

Yes...Tom is a Catholic. He even was quoted as saying "The people who listen to our music and think we are really into worshipping satan are total dumbfucks."

[miikedio]

Also said that He Only Uses the Satan and Anit Jesus Lyrices Cuz "God Sells"

Pretty Much saying Slayer Sold Out.

[LordBezalel]

nah, Slayer hasn't sold out. They are doing the exact same shtick they have been doing since 1983. That doesn't make them a sellout..it makes them honest. Slayer is still a hell of a lot better than 99% of the metal bands around these days. Most black metal is the same regurgitated "OOOOH SATAN" pablum set to 3 chord craptastic music and just how many death metal bands need to sound like Obituary?

[miikedio]

Makes em Honest Yes but still admiting they do it for the Cash. not For the Rock N Roll.

[LordBezalel]

granted, but think about this. If they were truly just into cash..they would not be playing "satanic" themed thrash metal...they would be playig pop punk, emo or god forbid..they'd sound like KISS.

[boomboxclaire]

@miikedio

Yep, and in this world today, making a living is very important.....I'd much rather do it to make a supportive living than just "for the rock N rolllllah"

[josefblack]

Intense.

[Jackle0nhart]

this was like the only good song on this album

[xAtabix]

HELL YEAH!

Dio is, simply put, a beast.

[taaasooos]

Excellent track. Dio is not simply a killer vocalist. He gives a special sound to each of his work. No more words.

[airrunweskerII]

Dio also sang on at least 2 Christian songs in the early 80s...

"Mask of the great deciever" was one song.

Kerry Livgren was the GTR.

He used to be in Kansas.

It was all perfectly legal since no one who listened would thing it were Dio anyway!

And who could forget the Dio with the band Warhorse!

(the one from the 60s!)

[albertocmacarini]

Tony Iommi is my GOD!

[spectres85]

anything dio sings is eigther "ok" or awesome. this is just ok, lol. Yeah I think he should've sung more in his own style with the songs he did with Kerry.

[Ev105]

You guys are sooooo pissed. Did you ever hear Dio sing with Kerry Livegren.

[normskis69]

SHIT HOT!!!

[indigicoot]

fuckin' metal

[vlefteris]

metal fucker fucked up a christmas song... fucker

[Zakkpaulo]

i love the riff, Iommi is the master of the riff

[MyLegoEgo]

Stop hating on christianity, Just comment on this awesome song. I'm christian but I love medal nothing wrong with that, your athiest and love medal nothing wrong with that.

[Bearmech]

are you also stoopid?

[MyLegoEgo]

'stoopid'

If that was mispelt on purpose then you really are stupid.

[tmdkshaft]

Um, you have it the other way around, bro. If he misspelled it on accident, that would mean he's stupid.

If he misspelled it on purpose, then he would just be trying to portray ignorance in a satirical way.

[MyLegoEgo]

Wow, either way he needs to rethink his life.

[Soadevafan933212]

Amen brother, I love Metal of all genres especially Dio and Sabbath and Im Christian as well people are pretty dumb i mean Black Sabbath is the Heavy Metal Pioneers I mean the song "After forever" is a pure Christian song people have a pretty retarded mentality thinking metal is of the devil and need to stop living that dream when these are the facts lol but blessings on you brother

Keep it Metal \m/ :D

[D3ATHLIV3S]

I love your view on this. Its true. Why do ppl think Christians can't like metal?

[TAMPORAPANTERA]

praise the lord

now lets jam this mother Fn place out

[MyLegoEgo]

Hey watch it, I like medal but I'm christian and I frankly don't care I know dio actually doesn't worship the devil, just like a lot of other bands who have lyrics like that but are actually christian. And this is a christian song I don't know why you think it's singing about the devil.

[record1207]

Who would have ever thought of this in thier wildest dreams...(or nightmares)!!! But it is much better than I expected. But I agree that Tony Iommi is great on this and saves it from self destruction!

[Steveperryisgod666]

Tony iommi. Fantastic

[benadams169]

haha steve perry

[Ev105]

Dio must have been feeling nostalgic for his Kerry Livegren days.

[smokemipole]

same here. :)

[IxH4v3xN0xLif3]

hmm, the only thing i dont like about this song is that its about god.

[kenfuscious]

the only thing i hate about your statement is it's  about god.

[13panagiwtis13]

idiot

[smokemipole]

christian faggot.

[MyLegoEgo]

Athiest faggot.

[TAMPORAPANTERA]

youre a man of pure flesh and words....you're screwed my friend.

[TheBlackTurd]

LOLOLOLOLOLOL

Dio WTF??? this is insane

[Infordust]

DIO is GOD and it must have taken him persuasion to sing this song but damn it is great.

[gibsongold1970]

where is satan's power now?

he lost it when jesus came.

thanK you LORD GOD!

great cover!

[x3cz2hf]

ofcourse its a good song people...this is SABBATH after all :)

[warwickjly]

It's good to hear RJD singing a song about the Lord Jesus Christ and not "Go away I'm gonna to burn in hell with all of you." I hope God's grace will come to RJD and it has come to me. I like the song, Heavy Metal will always remain in my blood.

[bozodclown98]

wow you are my twin brother.

[Sulakul666]

Death to mallcore.

Dio is God.

[tolis12345]

Indeed very good song... Reminds of old sabbath riffs

[oompaloompaman5]

Damn this sounds like Sabbath and it kicks ass! It even sounds like lyrics Dio would write!

[miikedio]

dude you have no right to talk U LIKE MALLCORE It means ur a poser.
