Dio Is Away Better Than Ozzy

Ozzy Osbourne is one of the most inspiring and touching heavy metal artists of all time. He made Sabbath shine. Too bad he had too little discipline and too much problems, which is actually pretty understable looking at his background, and so Sabbath looked at the monetary side and banned Oz. Dio, while having pretty normal and decent voice, just whored away all the magic in the band.

Anyway Ozzy is a way better than Sabbath and more than the devil and fang crap. His musicanship was at its peak in the early solo years, but with Wylde the tour in 91' was pretty amazing also the latest album Black Rain. Can you say any songs that prove that Sabbath was in its peak with Dio ?

Oh and I suppose Ozzy filing a lawsuit against Iommi is really "for the fanbase" despite the fact that he's asking for half of the Sabbath royalties in sales. I'm sure the Fanbase will be getting some of the pie
You don't know them personally so your argument doesn't hold up well. I could say the same about Dio but what good would it hold if I have no proof? Just like what you're doing.
Dio was better in Sabbath, Music wise, Vocal wise and Lyric Wise in my opinion. Hell, I think anyone was better than Ozzy (apart from a couple of singles, and I'm not even trying to find a reason to hate Oz, I just could never get into Ozzy's era of Sabbath.)
Unlike Ozzy, Dio respected his instrument and didn't abuse his voice. Even at the age of 60 he still sang greatly while Oz's voice was slowly diminishing.
Dio is what saved Sabbath from being has-beens. Sure the Music change (Honestly when didn't it change with all four different vocalist?) You can say what you want about Dio but he has his place in Sabbath.
I get it up, I get it up in the dark, I make her feel I'm not a holy man -

Ozzys Believer is the most cleverest song Ozzy ever did. "Dreams that have shattered, may not have mattered: take another point of view". It is better than Dio ever did.
Dio speaks about doom and witches, propably wants to please the doomy music the Sabbath fans honour, to get more listeners, but Dio does shallow, pooda0r quality forgetable rock and roll. No real inventions, just masspleasing stupid, meaningless "rock" and roll. I like Ozzys Down to Earth more than the sabbaths "Dio Years" album, which was made to make money. Ozzy is lightyears smarter than Dio, and concertates to deep matter such as war, literaty, life etc.
Dio fits best to 12- year old boys, but Ozzy & Zakk music is for adults. -

"Oh yeah like Ozzy didn't release "Tribute" and all of his other countless Live and Greatest Hits albums with the sole intention of making money."
So dont bash him for making good music.
"That's a laugh."
I laugh only at to you silly hypocrites. -

"You say that the "Dio Years" compilation was released just because Dio wanted to make money?"
None really gives a crap bout Dio.
"Well for one thing that is the first compilation ever to give serious attention to Dio's incredible career with the band, and secondly haven't there been at least 6 compliations specifically dedicated to Ozzy's career with the band."
There will be more. And Ozzy was the real singer in the band.
"Maybe you should actually know what you are talking about before you make naive assumptions."
You dont know what ur talking about. You just bash Ozzy cus it fits to ur illusions.
"And by the way "Tribute" was nothing more than a pathetic way to increase album sales."
Then why didnt Ozzy release it after Randy passed away in 1982? Cus he honoured Randys moms wishes.
"It was not intended to pay tribute to Randy."
Randy is gone forever. The least thing Ozzy could do is to release a tribute album.
