    Call me crazy, but I prefer the DIO years!
    Dio with rainbow is pretty great too.

    Did anyone take a close look at the 'mob rules' cover. There is a hidden message there.

    Ozzy sounds so good on Sabotage and in 1975. Listened to a few bootlegs from 1974 and 1975 as well...besides cocaine, what else was he on to get to the vocal range he had? Even the end of Sabbath Bloody Sabbath, he never did live cause he probably just couldn’t, but how did he sing that high in the studio?!
    check out reunion live. 98 .SBS is on there .....
    Ozzy doesn’t sing the end of that song, nor should he even try lol. I have no idea how he got his vocals that high

    What does everyone think of Sabbath with Ian Gillan?

    The one album they made was pretty solid!
    I really dig it. The mix is a muddy mess, and the cover is a hilariously garish nightmare, but the songs shine through. Disturbing The Priest is hell of a tune, Gillan screams his ass off.

    The first six albums with the original line up are obviously the pinnacle, but I really like a lot of the later stuff too. Yeah, you can debate whether it's truly Sabbath or not, but Iommi is always there, an almost endless well of great riffs and songwriting.

    And I planted my bolo knife in the neck of mad John Finn. I took his wretched life.
    Now I'm over near the bandstand, every hand moving on John Finn's wife...

    I agree.....the mix is muddy, but it unquestionably sounds like Sabbath.

    Trashed is a great opener!

    Blasted The Writ and Megalomania on my way into work this morning. Wanted to bump this. I am so sad I didn’t get to see them on The End tour

    Honestly I kind of was feeling bad I actually fell asleep at the 90s Dio Black Sabbath reunion show. Mainly smoke induced after a long day of work. But went back and watched it and a few songs were awesome, but mostly was boring.
    No disrespect to RJD,Tommy, Geezer and whoever the drummer was. Maybe bill ward? His live guitar playing becomes a tiny bit redundant at that show in particular. 

    Yes I still regret not being well rested & sharp minded to truly appreciate the legends in front of me.

    That Sabatoge album is mind numbingly fantastic.
    Sure The End tour would have been great, but maybe better off not knowing what you missed. If that makes any sense you are as crazy as me!
    Lot's of Ozzy screaming let's go crazy! Are we crazy or what?! I love you all!

    My sleep deprived 2 cents.

    If you listen to fool's...

    The End Tour was damn good. I'm really bummed I didn't spring for the meet and greet. Saw my friend's pic and knew I messed up!
    1991- Hollywood Palladium, California with Temple of the Dog, Soundgarden, and Alice in Chains -RIP Magazine Show Oct. 6th
    1992- Lollapalooza, Irvine, California
    Nothing since then. I suck.
    2016- Fenway Park, Boston - Both glorious nights
    2022- Oakland Night 2
    2024 Sacramento, CA

    Trashed is awesome. Zero the Hero was another one that I really liked on that album.

    I remember Deep Purple released Perfect Strangers not too long after Born Again. Another good album from that time period.

    I saw Gillan with Deep Purple a few years ago in Indy. He still sounds great.

    I’ve watched A LOT of videos and would make the argument they sounded better the last two tours from 2013-2017 than the early 2000s. I can’t believe I’m saying that because Bill Ward has become my favorite drummer, it was always Bonzo but the way Ward and Geezer vibe is godly. I’d open every Sabbath show with The Writ and close every show with Megalomania
    Just to piggy back on Sabotage…Ozzy sounds like Plant at the end of Symptom, some great vocals…Thrill of it All is so underrated. That “Yeaaauhhh” after the first main riff is so fucking great 😆

    Fuck I’m going down the rabbit hole….the end of National Acrobat, Sabbra Cadabra, the end of Wheel of Confusion….fuck….all 17 minutes of Sleeping Village, the 45 seconds in the middle of Cornucopia “I DON’T KNOW WHAT’S HAPPENING”

    I’ll stop after this, but I just read my original post. I don’t think there’s ever been a band or artist that has even come close to giving me that feeling as the first week…shit first 3 months of “discovering” all of Ozzy’s Sabbath

    So funny^ same. I backed into sabbath. From Dio backwards.
    Once I started finding out ozzy sabbath was more than iron man my mind was blown. This also intersected with my experimental mind altering substance phase. A match made in [hell] heaven.
    Slowly entered ozzy sabbath when I found their 1st record for 10 bucks in a music store. They were all cd store, but had a couple leftover used crates of vinyl. That record had a slightly different track list than cd. Forget what additional song that is on the wax. 
    Then picked up Sabotoge cd and SBS Master of Reality V4. Never say die got later on wax. Technical E too on lp. I might have gave that one away.
    Recentlyish, I scored a lot of there stuff on vinyl and it really is like hearing it all over again. The depth and tones go so deep. 

    Anyway thx for bumping this and unearthing all these great memories attached to the music and that time in my life.

    I missed out on the chance to see Deep Purple on the Perfect Strangers tour.......I wouldn't dare see them without Ritchie Blackmore!

    Went to Easy Street during the Seattle shows last year. I picked up the 1974 Speedway show on Vinyl.
