If you could but Tims vocals with the Guitars from Ozzy's you would have one epic song, though I wish his high pitched voice was the only voice track for the opening line however. I wish Tim sang the song in that tone and octave in the first line. Such a dark sounding "Mr. Crowwllley"
If you could but Tims vocals with the Guitars from Ozzy's you would have one epic song, though I wish his high pitched voice echoed with the opening line...omg would have been so tasteful.
I don't like the octaves. I don't think it gets anywhere near the original. Just my opinion. Full disclosure - I love "Black Star", "Far Beyond the Sun" etc, so I ain't hatin' on Yngwie. I love "Ripper" on other tracks, too.
But this falls flat to me. The original is just too much to overcome.
The first time I heard this version, i was in my car on my way home and had the volume up quite a bit because the organ bit at the beginning I love. Then comes the Ripper and scares the crap out of me lol ever since then ive been a big fan of this version.
@FourChanJunkie Ripper has the most underrated metal voice. He is amazing he should be compared with singers like, Halford, Dickinson and Geoff Tate. Ripper, is a Rainbow in the Dark.
Titles wrong, this is just Ripper, not Dio. I love this cover. I think Ripper's voice is great for this song, and whilst the solo's aren't as memorable as Randy's, the sheer shredfest that they've become fits this cover so well.
@MenciaJoel1990 : You got to remember, it's a tribute.One artist covering a song by another. Just because it's different doesn't mean it sucks. It's just the way he plays and is therefor making it his own way. It's a tribute, not Ozzy himself.
Ozzy has the greatest most Unique voice ever...not technically the best just the BEST!!!

Just goes to show, Ozzy isn't the prince of anything. He sold his soul to the Illuminati, or whatever the fuck they go by.

I think the best version of this song would have been with Dio, Tim and Rhoads.

Looks like Malmsteen needs three notes to do what Rhoad did with one. As much as I like Malmsteen, his playing on this cover totally lacks eloquence.

The guitar tone isn't as good for the rhythm parts I don't think, but other than that it's a really good cover.

Dio isn't singing here. The lineup on this song is:
Tim Ripper Owens, Yngwie Malmsteen, Tim Bogert, Tommy Aldridge and Derek Sherinian.
And why would Dio ever cover Ozzy's songs? Btw. this version is better than the original, mostly because Tim's vocals are 100000x better than Ozzy's.
