Powerage5 Posted September 22, 2007 Share Posted September 22, 2007 The only real Sabbath is with Ozzy, Bill, Geezer and Iommi. I'm not saying that The Dio era was bad, Heaven And Hell is great album, but it's not Sabbath.I always thought that until I got a free copy of The Dio Years and was so fucking blown away. Just saw Heaven And Hell for the second time in 2 weeks last night! I honestly don't see how anyone can dislike Dio. Sure, his lyrics aren't the best, but his voice is amazing, even still so at 65, and he's a fucking maniac live. God forbid if Ozzy died tomorrow and Dio became the permanent Sabbath frontman again, I can't say I'd be dissappointed, especially after seeing both lineups live sometime in the last 2 years.But there's nothing beyond the Dio era thats worth listening to. It all went downhill after The Mob Rules, with the exception of DehumanizerHey - I saw them Sept. 5th. Were you there?Yep, 12th row on Geezers side! Cool - I was in the 1st row in section 2 on the same side! They sounded great! I saw the original BS a LONG time ago. That was my first time seeing Alice and I enjoyed it more than I expected.Yea it was a great show, however Darien Lake was miles better than Binghamton!

Iceman24 Posted September 25, 2007 Share Posted September 25, 2007 Yep, 12th row on Geezers side! When I saw them in Switzerland I was 1st row Iommi side: And to the guys who say it's not Black Sabbath. Who cares? They make awesome music, I think that's what it's all about.Fuck me, that must've been amazing! I was about 10th row on Tony's side the second time I saw themYes, it was incredible. B) And I saw not only them that night, there were also Motörhead and Saxon (and U.D.O. and China, but U.D.O. sucked) Tony Iommi is one cool guy. Once his glasses came a bit down and he was about to start a gutiar solo, so he held one note, pulled his glasses up in Professor Style and then played the gutiar solo.
