I agree with most of this musicwise, but to me the lyrics on Stand Up And Shout just don't sound like Sabbath lyrics so much,Shame On The Night is def. Sab,and Don't Talk has that somber melancholic...

This is my opinion

Halford would be great in the softer parts,but he just doesn't have the powerful roar

I am fans of both Dickinson and Hetfield but neither would sound right

I can't go,...

I posted a short tribute on my myspace page of my fantasy trilogy,as an aspiring singer,Dio was a major influence and inspiration and so the same in my writing.In fact,I have done some editing...

If they are going to do a tribute/memorial concert,someone needs to call Mike Tirelli,his version of Holy Diver off of the Holy Dio tribute is amazingly close to the vocal spirit of Dio. Call it...

From the TYRANT (US) facebook page

Saddened to hear of the passing of one of the greatest singers of all time. Had the pleasure of seeing him with both Black Sabbath and Heavy & Hell very...

Weird......was trying to make it as easy as possible....just go to www.myspace.com/swordofthegods if you want to read it...........I'm fairly sure that link will work :horns:

This is something I posted on my fantasy trilogy page about Dio's influence on my writing,not just this,but my music reviews as well,it is the best tribute that I can personally offer

This is from John,on behalf of the band,from the Solitude Aeturnus blog


Like most everyone I know, I am in a great state of sadness. Ronnie James Dio was the ultimate Heavy Metal figure. Why?...

With the way I think,after the initial shock wore off,I began to wonder that as well,the last things fans were hearing seemed to be that it was tough ,but he was making it through.Does anybody know,I...

I only got to see him once,on the Dehumanizer tour,great show,got a t-shirt and one of those Sabbath cross pendants.He was vocally flawless,sheer power and emotion,just blew me away ! :horns:

After I went online last Sunday and saw JS's Sabbocracy post,I just stared at the screen for a while :horns: ....... and then that no life busybody posted her crap on you tube ,and then the next day...

Listening to Egyptian themed metal songs in Egypt,how cool is that,other cool Middle Eastern themed ones would have been Rainbows "Babylon" and Iced Earth's "Im-Ho-Tep ",but definitely avoid Grave...

Are you talking about the whole Sleeping Village/Bit of Finger/Warning combo or just the acoustic Sleeping Village part.I am not a big fan generally of acoustic things but Tony IMO did some of the...

Original Sabbath was great but even they had a few less than stellar tracks

Dirty Women
Rock n Roll Doctor
Over To You

Technical is my least favorite album, but even it has some great music...

This is one band that never seems to get the credit they deserve IMO.To me,Uriah Heep is an unsung cornerstone of heavy music,the other three being Sabbath,Priest,and Rainbow.With maybe the exception...

Ha,well said,btw anybody heard the Holy Mother version of "Holy Diver" off of the Holy Dio(this is starting to sound kind of redundant LOL !) tribute.

For those that haven't,it is a trip,the guy...

I had never heard that story before.It is all kind of a moot point though because Ritchie could be known far and wide like Dio if he still wanted to play hard rock/metal with early Rainbow style...

Just my opinion of course but I think it is one of those situations where someone "discovers" someone and then that person goes on to be as well known or more well known to some people than the...

I don't think he knew it then,and yes RB does deserve the credit for getting Dio started on more solid musical ground,but I really don't think Rainbow would be so widely hailed without the presence...

Nearly perfect album IMO,also notable as being,along with early Uriah Heep,the lyrical beginning of countless great classic and power metal bands.

Without the defiance and brilliance of Dio,there...

That is just one of the most awesome Sabbath covers I have ever seen,reminds me of the Tyrant (US) cover of "Too Late To Pray",man, I need that one for my Planet Doom site.

Supernaut is one of my favorite songs also,the difference is that Symptom has the muted strings and Supernaut is played brighter,when you compare the two side by side,IMHO Symptom has more of...

Such a great album, and IMO,along with Rainbow,another launching point for so much great music to come afterward.It was a combination of the sounds of HH and Judas Priest,and the lyrics of...

When you listen to Symptom, you can clearly hear where bands like Metallica came from,the sound,the way it is played,after all, not all thrash has to constantly be moving at light speed to be called...

I absolutely agree with the last statement,I think of all the vocal transitions,the one between Hughes and Martin was the smoothest.I think because SS is such a great song is one of the reasons I...
