Black Sabbath-Sign Of The Southern Cross

[houseofraven1966]

Happy 64th Tony!!!! Get well real soon man!!

[philosophercjd]

OLD SPICE COMMERCIAL IS BACK?!?!?!?!

the one time i dont mind waiting 15 seconds for an ad...

[lokorai23]

Bruce Dickinson @ 2:35 and Metallica @ 4:05. Good think Metallica has paid their dues.

[SilvertongueCynic]

This is amazing...Ronnie customarily blasts into the microphone, but at the beginning of this song, he's hardly recognizable to the untrained ear. This just shows his seldom-seen but very real versatility.

[lobomango1]

@SilvertongueCynic amen.

[themetalchef]

There are 5 maroon 5 fans here..

[matthew62592]

say a prayer for tony iommi everyone

[lobomango1]

@matthew62592 ok. Our Father which art in heaven Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our debts as we forgive our debtors. An lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: for thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever. Amen. God hear us, Bless Tony Iommi. Thankyou, Yours sons& daughters.

[fpgrind]

They don't make true metal like this anymore. RIP Ronnie.

[joenathanmilner]

rip ronnie

[jkcaldy2112]

The best metal song EVER

[karlmoles65]

Remember mixtapes? I had one called The Most Epic Songs In History. This song was in between Zep's Kashmir and Yes's Starship Trooper.

[bigchickenfu]

This was one mutha fucker of an album !

[91nickt]

Can we all just agree that this is EPIC? Well, 1090 people are with me!

[Emilyroses123]

@91nickt suck me off u pie face asian

[91nickt]

@Emilyroses123 wtf?! lol.

[Emilyroses123]

@91nickt mmm would u like to taste my pussy?

[orgasmtron1]

@Emilyroses123 Idk about that other asshole, but I wanna taste it, because its just hot when women say the word pussy

[EpictheEpicest]

@Emilyroses123 Don't hate on Dio just because he isn't some wussy autotuner with the voice of a 10 year old girl

[lobomango1]

@EpictheEpicest some folks like voice of wussy auto-tuner 10 y.o.g. ...a.k.a. falsetto? whatever bang ur head!

[ratbatblu]

This is my favorite Ronnie era Sabbath song, hands down.

[1313FLYROD]

Thanks for the memories and the most excellent music from elf to dio RIP

[thelortz]

sign of the cross-iron maiden ... adding south doesnt make u guys look original.... u guys still rock

[IntoAbandon]

@thelortz You do realize they are 2 different things... The southern cross is the Crux constellation, Crux means Cross in latin, its also nicknamed the Southern Cross.

Read a book before you start undermining Black Sabbath

[MisticWizzard]

@thelortz Thats the stupidest comment ive ever seen. Iron Maiden's Sign of the cross came out like 14 years after this, and besides having a slimier song title has nothing to do with being unoriginal.

[ladygaiajehan]

@thelortz Too bad Black Sabbath came before Iron Maiden.

[ExOfficerJimLahey]

dio sucks

[illumikiller187]

@ExOfficerJimLahey u should be castrated and raped by wild banshees for that comment

[sira196x]

beautiful

[badnaughtys]

this song is so fucking EPIC!!! one of my ALL-TIME FAVORITE songs....R.I.P RONNIE. \m/ \m/

[RossJams]

love Ozzy ... Love Dio > both have made volumes of incredible music.

put either of them in Black Sabbath and they are one of the greatest rock bands ever ... for me deciding which is better is like asking me if i would rather have a million dollars in $10 bills or $20 bills.

5 dislikes ... makes me wonder what crap they liked

[patriotpat54]

5 dislikes u kidding me!! give me a time machine and some birth control i'll fix that

[kar98ksmith]

5 people are high and missed the like button

[stoopid2kidz]

on the bottom it says kill ozzy!! WTF? thumbs up if u see it

[youngnastyman96]

@stoopid2kidz i see ozzy....where does it say kill?

[leifericson923]

I can't believe Dio was nearly 40 when he recorded this, he had a better voice than guys nearly half his age

[rebelman69x69]

I LOVE THIS!!!!

[sandinyourshoes]

I love how this songs appears on Live Evil as it bridges the first and second parts of Heaven and Hell.

[2100bluegill]

thanks Kamp,excellent choice.no disrespect towards ozzy but,this is my favorite sabbath album ever.from front 2 back is great.

[xDXPxJOEx456x1]

Dio era Sabbath is the shit

[shootsbradah]

The first time I heard this song I was mesmerized. At 2:04 when he builds with "when it hears a searchin' sound" the hair on my neck goes up. What a voice, what a great singer and great album.

[ThatOneBassist013]

This song was playing on the radio station that was set as my alarm clock this morning haha sick \m/ I'll be in a good mood for the rest of the day! Long live Black Sabbath!

[DarianGTR06]

This song exudes epicness. Thanks for posting.

[Razmada70]

i still get goosebumps when the song kicks up at 1:17

[Jedinerf]

Great solo.



[thedeamonoid7404]

RIP DIO BAD ASS LITTLE DUDE

[SuperChoada]

i live down in the bible belt and was forced into a pentecostal church as a child. you'll never meet a more devoted agnostic. i broke the mah fokkin' crystal ball!

[MrPigglesworth]

why does he say dont live for pleasure

[Paganguy1]

@MrPigglesworth

Because don't LIVE FOR PLEASURE!!! Read books! Stop touching yourself!!! Learn things!!!!

Don't make me come over there!!!!

[MrPigglesworth]

@Paganguy1 omg wtf do you live for then

[MiltonGore]

This is an absolute MASTERPIECE!

[rdfronnie]

i say we tied the asshole up and shove justin bieber into his ass

[TheNuclearPistol]

♥ing it

[GodOfThunder2112]

I think 4 people are mormons.....

[ReneeNme]

@GodOfThunder2112 4 people are moron's.

[redindus69]

@ReneeNme They werent morons, they dont understand our ways of life on the dark side.

[ShannonDiResta]

Ronnie James Dio Drinks Your Milk Shake. Remeber That. He Is The Be All End All of Metal Singers; Him, Halford, Ozzy, Phil and Dee!!! SMF for Life!

[Endisnigh666]

4 westboro church members.

[Afrolunatic]

@Endisnigh666 LMFAO thats great

[Bassisbeastiful]

@Endisnigh666 ?

[wand4lyfe]

how is it possible to dislike this song? those ppl should be executed immediately on the spot.

[TaintedCoil6]

My two favorite vocalist happen to be Black Sabbath; Ronnie James Dio (RIP) and Ian Gillan

[LAPLEOPEREZ]

this album is possibly the most underestimated work of music of all time

[EarCandyJar]

a great tune off a great album. Reflection of what "balls to the wall" does mean. R.I.P. Dio. Thanks for the legendary music which will leave on - I can only imagine our generation drooling in our wheel chairs while this is blasting in the background, ..... if we make it that far down.

[glitchedgamer]

We miss you Dio \m/

[res9695]

480p my ass

[Timothay2]

One of the 10 best songs ever, amazing and powerful beyond belief.

[diodio1964]

but its fear and you ll hear it calling you beware look out

[Endisnigh666]

this album cover scared the shit out of me when it came out i was 13.

[generationaluv]

Real song, real music, U know, the kind that takes U to a better, cooler place!

[12321Walrus]

Ill assume this song is a combination of "Southern Cross - Crosby Stills Nash and You" and "Sign of the Cross - Iron Maiden"

[DoctorWho1983]

@12321Walrus

Nah. It's no combination at all. It's Dio Era Sabbath ,my personal favorite era, nuff said.

[ReneeNme]

@12321Walrus Nope. No association at all. Totally independant song.

[bankaibuddy15]

I like Black Sabbath.

[shancock0710]

RIP RJD

[ludwigvan17]

This song is an epic song. One of my favorite sabbath songs.

[8889geo1]

@ludwigvan17thats dio in his prime you can hear it in his vocie what a band to be in inyour prime

[Halfgnomen]

\m/



[MsNikkibud]

You know I think most of you have it wrong it was always Tonys band but I believe we got the best of both worlds with these to great singers PRFORMING WITH POSSIBLELY THE GREATEST BAND EVER??? ( I think so)

[MiltonGore]

Epic performance by my favorite version of Black Sabbath. Ronnie James Dio-R.I.P.

[DarthRandall]

This song is probably Vinny Appice's greatest work. The drums are just perfect.

[thelonehighlander]

Dio is the man.

[HeatherHell72]

I fucking LOVE Ronnie James Dio, the man was a visionary, a poet, a magician. RIP, I hope to see you again one day. <3

[generalfuckpants]

How the fuck can anyone dislike this song? 3 assholes vanished into smog only to be greeted by a huge gigantic Manbearbig and violently rape by a gigantic dick and forced to listen to Nickleback and Creed until the end of time.

[JudazPreist]

@generalfuckpants Woah! That is fucking powerfully harsh. Sad to say I didn't shit my pants until you said nickleback though.

[wiz9496]

@generalfuckpants We shall call the three, "Moe, Larry, and Curly".

[mekanik85]

@generalfuckpants hahha this comment made my day, to top it off your name is general fuck pants hahahha thanks

[yarekhunt]

@generalfuckpants HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!

[wheatbuck]

@generalfuckpants - Your comment is hilarious, but I have to say your username is even funnier.

[pnut7805]

@generalfuckpants

Truly, it's a fate worse than death. If there's a Hell, and I'm going there, you just described what would be happening to me. I don't understand who wouldn't like this song. Actually, I don't understand how anyone wouldn't LOVE this song.

[eyeinthesky8]

@generalfuckpants Could we force 'em to listen to J. Beiber,too PLEASE!!!

[MichellesPoontang]

@eyeinthesky8 Why on practically every tune on youtube are there stupid comments about the dislikes, and then someone has to mention Justin Bieber. Its bizarre.

[diodio1964]

@generalfuckpants the meaning of this song is bigger and deeper then your mouth and perhaps your butt hole i m giving you the benefit of the doubt show some respect for black sabbath and the music die young

[Metalmikebach]

@generalfuckpants Nice

[tractorfix]

@generalfuckpants RIP Ronnie

[allanjenny]

@generalfuckpants

The 5 that dont like him are probably all votes from Vivian Campbell anyways, who is a total A hole. RIP Dio, we miss you man.

[dickrobot]

Wasn't sure about Dio era Sabbath. But, after thinking of them as a different band from the Ozzy days makes it clear to me, this too kicks ass.

[sherpa285]

"No we're not gonna do fuckin' Stonehenge!..."

[ThrashMetaltillDeth]

@sherpa285 hahahaha random but awesome. love that movie..

[RotnRoll77]

@TheRampageable Korn is gay.

[Tupinambis13]

Odd, I always thought that the lyrics as quoted here...

"Gather all around the young ones

they will make us strong

Reach above your dreams of pleasure

**given life to those who died"

Actually ended with "Give a knife to those who'd die."

[TheAvalonAngel]

My not being able to see the dislike bar shows how amazing this masterpiece of metal is. 

[paok2508]

this song......after a few good joints......with cold beers.......R.I.P RONNIE

[MrChucky1465]

DIO, SEEN HIM LIVE THE MAN KICKED ASS.... CAN NEVER BE REPLACED..........LOVE EM.

[generationaluv]

CHILLLLLLLLLLLZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ­ZZZZZZZ!!!!!!!!!!

[ozzy4y]

ΑΘΑΝΑΤΟΣ

[tbro1967]

Thats one of the best album covers ever.

[bithot2nite]

a year ago today.....can't believe it. Very sad here... :-(

[michaels2boys]

@bithot2nite / I feel your pain brother. I miss him and cannot believe it has been a year already. I miss him terribly as I know music will never be same for me again. I am thankful for a lifetime of inspiration.

[DomenicSinatra]

fabulous. Fantastic. It gets no better honestly....

[gjp1100]

3 Unbelievers !!!!

[Paganguy1]

"I Can't accept it, anymore...."

The Lord, Ronnie James Dio, Let us Praise His name.

[CFD317]

ozzy sabbath was first, then dio. but Dio is one of the greatest singers of all time. w/ all due respect to Ozzy who is as well.

[ronniejamesdio90]

fuck ozzy. DIO IS THE BEST !!!

[deansusky]

Dio.s voice amazing

[deansusky]

Everyone should hear this song



[capnkdawg]

Geezer destroys this song with his amazing bass...RIP Dio

[nefhead]

You can't compare Dio and Ozzy, different bamds with both of them and equally as good!!!

[jimmatheus]

Conglaturations, old man. You have finally became a legend.

[achromat666]

Seeing this performed live with Heaven and Hell, is one of the greatest moments of my life.

[Paganguy1]

@achromat666

I was there in New York, Madison Square Garden.... It was a Religious Experience...

[fixvelo]

Black Sabbath achieved most unbelievable Heavy Sound ... its not even music what makes it unique... is that DIO's voice what make this unforgetable... tommy iommi crazy climat

[WrathchildVA]

Glad I finally got to see Dio when he played with Heaven & Hell 3 years ago. RIP Ronnie...LOOK OUT!!!

[Xtremist777]

@WrathchildVA You lucky bastard

[smithdsmit]

@WrathchildVA yeAH I SEEN HEAVEN AND HELL PLAY IN CHICAGO in 2008 and 2009.I had suck high hopes for more records and tours.I knew they were older and wasnt expecting them to tour another 20 yrs. but i figured they would be around for another 3-4 yrs. what a tradgedy. i wish they had caught Dios cancer sooner

[MAGNUM2F]

this was a great song. i love Ozzy but he never got near DIO.

[Katykarter]

Thanks for posting this...with the full lyrics. Dio was the SHIT!!

[AmadeusMetalParkour]

3 people were rocked so heavy they missed the 'like' button.

[Fretmaster1994]

My favourite Dio era Sabbath song!

[mule1118]

[bassman0704]

my god tony iommi is the riff master! I can never get tired of listening to his amazing riffs! His riffs + Dio's voice= beyond amazing! It truly was a match made in metal heaven!

[alan10014]

IRON MAIDEN: WAISTED YEARS

THE ALLMAN BROTHERS: RAMBLING MAN

GREGG ALLMAN: MIDNIGHT RIDER

METALLICA: FOR WHOM THE BELL TOLLS

YNGWIE MALMSTEEN: DREAMING

[theshag20]

@alan10014 wow no zep shock really but i dig u list

[Xtremist777]

@alan10014 You got a good taste man. A wide range of rock genres

[johnthegreek178]

@alan10014 For Whom The Bell Tolls, my introduction in metal!!!

[smithdsmit]

@johnthegreek178 my first hard rock album was Areosmith "Draw The Line"(1977).not as heavy as this but one of Areosmiths last great rockers

[capnkdawg]

@johnthegreek178 Mine too!!!!! That song changed my life completely and remains at least number 2 on my favorite songs list

[rickyuvl]

this was the best rock vocalist of all time!

[elgransorbete]

@rickyuvl And the best metal lyricist of all time as well. His words hit you with the power of Dream!

[amccann7]

@elgransorbete yes, he truly was is and forever will be THE MAGICIAN.

[wrcmr]

mantab nih bos 

[spawnhunt]

Ivica je car i njemu se pesma kao svidja.... do j je i i adore this shit!!!!

[MrJuanito1548]

Once again!!!!, twenty-five years later. It is still a gem of a song!!!!, Dio's voice (R.I.P.) and the original Sabbath musicians made magic!!! I am happy to have been a part of the 80`s and I still feel the vibe (since I was a teenager until now). Peace out!!

[Hotfries6671]

f=9&t=13321 type this in google,hit link for "is jesus a constellation?".the southern cross sits at the right hand of the right arm of the galaxy,like jesus does with god,theres an off set star where jesus was stabbed in the liver.becuase of precession of the stars it appears to be falling to earth,but not before the false cross does first,remind you of anything?lyrics:A story told that can't be real,some how must reflect the truth we feel,its the sighn of the times

[bluestate69]

i am not stoned, and looking at this album cover is tripping me out.

[Gthemes82]

i just noticed something look at dios albums and there covers

and youll say EPIC

[DJBoLtZ]

@Gthemes82 The cover art is a modified version of artist Greg Hildebrandt's piece entitled Dream 1: Crucifiers from 1971

[Endisnigh666]

Break My Crystal Balls!!!!!!!!!!

[anakinguy2]

Ozzy is a legend, there is no denying that. But Dio, he surpasses legend, Dio is just straight up a god.

[Cine2k]

666 "likes"

\m/ Yeaaaaahh \m/

[Giantrobokc]

Sooo amazingly awesome. Wow....heavy, deep lyrics, talented voice work....

[lamentfly]

Dio wipes the floors with Ozzy, Ozzy way out of his league when it comes to going up against Dio. Dio the greatest there ever was anybody better let me know I want to check them out

[Gthemes82]

@lamentfly dont compare at lest theres no vevo to deal with

[lamentfly]

@Gthemes82 Ozzy cool, Dio blows him away plain and simple - find me a singer in Dio's class ? Answer there ain't none !

[Baddaxx]

@lamentfly Rob Halford. Dio Is badass but their are others just as bad ass

[sltwentytwo]

@lamentfly There aren't many. Dio was one of the premiere vocalist of all time. When Geoff Tate, Rob Halford, & Tony Harnell were at their peak, they were better. But I don't think they'd have fit with Sabbath at all. He was perfect for them.

[generationaluv]

@mekanik85 U know ehat is col, is thta we have the cahnce to compare...that can't be said for almost any band except for the Beatles. I mean we all know there was no contest btwn. David Lee and Sammy H.

[mekanik85]

@generationaluv agreed, i was j k btw

[generationaluv]

@mekanik85 COol!  but not as funny as my piss-poor spelling...is that a word?! :)

[berserker16420]

ronnie james dio

is the man of the silver mountain !

is the king of rock and roll !

[MaximusDucius]

Don't live for pleasure

make life your treasure...

[MrEntwhistle]

fucking great

[aggelosf1]

Ronnie YOU ARE the best!!

[algojeff]

Tabarnak que c'était l'fun, au début des années 1980, secondaire 1, 2 ou 3, à écouter la meilleure des musiques pis à tripper sur les vieux harley choppés, le satanisme à dix cents pis les filles en jeans ultramoulantes! The Sign of Southern Cross pour toujours et à jamais! Merci Ronnie, Vinnie, Geezer, Tony , Geoff et Martin Birch!

[windswept23]

Dio is in his music alive

many thanks to Dio for let us such amazing music

you will be never forgotten!!!
