Dio was better

>>127130751 (OP)
Dio would tell you to have some respect, bro.

>>127130751 (OP)
... on opposite day

>>127130751 (OP)
in your dreams

>>127130771
this

>>127130751 (OP)
Yeah nah.

>>127130751 (OP)
I agree. But its not the time to talk about that.

>>127130771
..while quietly knowing he was better, that's class.

better than everybody except for Slayer, Metallica, Lemmy and Ozzy.

>>127130751 (OP)
fuck no, Ozzy WAS Black Sabbath

>>127130751 (OP)
Yes

>>127131011
Iommi was Black Sabbath

>>127130972
Maybe that. He definitely was better. But Ozzy had his thing and still was a legend in his own right.

Ozzy was objectively a terrible vocalist. Dio had the chops and the power behind his voice, Ozzy just did drunk / high ramblings on the mic and called it a day

>>127132207
Its comparing apples to oranges. they are different singers.

>>127132207
If you want to be a good vocalist sing opera retard. Rock is not about who technically sings better (tho it *sometimes* helps).

Reminder that Ozzy was there before the 80s heavy metal tarzan screaming, during it and after it. His 90s run was great, he survived the 80s tarzan metal shit. Meanwhile, with Dio, when tarzaning aoohohohoho went out of style, he disappeared. Because he was a one note musician.

>>127130751 (OP)
Obviously true

>>127132456
He wasn't one note. He was in multiple bands, and contributed differently to all of them. I mean, they're not the same bands just because Dio was in them.

>>127132518
And all of them were tarzan aaahhhhooohohoho. When they shit died in the 9late 80s, Dio died with them. And was never influential again.
Meanwhile Ozzy was still a big player and influential in the 90s.

>>127132207
I'd rather listen to thousands of hours of Ozzy singing than 5 min of Dio's pompous faggotry

>>127132572
You obviously skipped school and flunked out. Time for your re-education.

Dio was capable of other stuff. He's not one note. Strange Highways and Angry Machines prove it.

They aren't that popular or friendly to the average listener, but they are good.


I think dio vs ozzy is comparing apples to oranges. They arent supposed to be the same.

Eric Adams?

>>127130751 (OP)
as a vocalist, but Ozzy was THE frontman and his voice was born for Sabbath. Both legends of course. Heaven and Hell is amazing though.

Ozzy's war pigs is better

>>127130751 (OP)
100% True.
Ozzy still had some bangers though.

>>127130771
What? Dio fucking hated Ozzy

>>127130751 (OP)
Yes, but also this >>127130771

>>127130751 (OP)
>Dio
I've only heard Holy Diver and his vocals are so fucking annoying.

>>127133999
It's all about him and Blackmore together bro.

He really sounded like an angry manlet in this documentary.

>>127132572
Dio did everything from doo-wop to actual rock & roll to hard rock and metal

I like Dio solo, but his songs with the Sabbath always leave me thinking "it probably would have been even better if Ozzy sang it", particularly Heaven and Hell.
[spoiler]I feel the same regarding Deep Purple and the Mark III singer: Burn would have been an even better song if it had been Ian Gillan instead.[/spoiler]
