Robert Jones Posted April 14, 2007 Share Posted April 14, 2007 Listening to Sabbath (with its better helmsman, Ronnie James Dio) singing "Sign of the Southern Cross." Damn, they were great! Nobody in metal had an operatic set of pipes like Dio! He could hold a note for over a minute, it seems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's more to music than having good chops.Mick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonathan Posted April 15, 2007 Share Posted April 15, 2007 I saw an ad during a Wild game last week announcing that Dio is on tour, with Megadeth and Machine Head, and coming to an auditorium near me. I might have to check that out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a matter of taste, of course, because Ozzy singing "Sweet Leaf" and "Sabbath, Bloody Sabbath" is a tough act to follow. I just prefer Dio, but still respect the Ozzman.
