[QUOTE=hypocracy hater]Ozzy's droning whine suits their earlier, slower stuff, but Dio's voice suits the more dramatic and faster tempos of the later albums.[/QUOTE]

I think it has alot to do with the fact that the earlier songs were written FOR Ozzy, and the later Dio album songs were written BY Dio FOR Dio. I admit that Dio singing Paranoid sounds rather wrong, but he does a better job I imagine than Ozzy singing Heaven and Hell. I don't think many would argue that Dio isn't a more accomplished singer. Bands tend to write stuff their vocalists can do well; it's just that I like the material with Dio more anyway.

I got Born Again and The Eternal Idol on vinyl today, I've only heard half of The Eternal Idol so far, its pretty good.

Ive got zero the hero from Born Again. Lyrics and melody are a bit cheesy but a great riff. Hey brum do you get you're vinyls new or second hand? I was thinking of getting Ozzy's Blizzard of Ozz album on vinyl so I get the original bass and drum tracks and not those re-recorded ones.

Up to Never Say Die! the vinyl are originals/second editions all bought by my old man back in the 70's and 80's. The ones I've bought myself (H&H, MR, LE, BA, TEI) are all second hand.

I also have Blizzard of Ozz on vinyl, its good. Well worth buying.

And yeh...Zero the Hero is a bit daft...kinda reminds me of Hulk Hogan...

Is the rest of the album similair?

If you mean "Born Again" then the rest of the album is as bad or worse.

I quite liked Born Again, sure its not typical Sabbath but its still an alright album.

Well I really like Gillans voice so itll probably be my next sabbath album. Then maybe Seventh Star.

this thread lives???

wheres laiho?

He changed his name. I cant remember what to atm. But good question.

ToRidTheDisease

He's banned, I have no idea why but I'm guessing its a perm seeing as he's not been here for ages.

Hey, it's Josh (Laiho)

I got banned for some dumb ****, and lately I haven't been coming here much. I usually only post at my forums and sometimes here. I've been kind of pissed lately because I had something happen that made me almost completely unable to play guitar/bass, so i'm just kind of stuck right now not knowing what to do.

But anyway, I guess i'll start posting here more often and in this thread.

Welcome back to the madness :wave:

What happened to you? It sounds crappy :(

There's the thread on it.

Bugger dude.

Isn't it similar to what happened to Dave Mustaine?

Kind of, i'm basically going the same route as him, but i'm not sure if i'll ever be able to play much again.

That sucks, take it easy for a bit and you might be all good to go again.

Get well soon. :thumb:

that sucks

I'm thinking of possibly trying to learn guitar left handed, but i'm not sure.

Dam that would be hard to do. It would be like starting all over again. What happened to Mustaine? (Im not a Megadeth fan ... yet). How long ago did you hurt youre hand?

Well this thread is getting slow again.

Yer, true.

I'll post some kind of review type thingy about Born Again and The Eternal Idol once I've ripped them onto my pooter.

It seems we have ran out of things to talk about...

Not so long ago I was going to do a FA on Sabbath, but I got lazy and didn't start it.

I may do one eventually.

Lol, would be pretty good to see.

You should do it.

So what did Mustaine do to his hand?

I think he slept on his arm weird, woke up and couldn't move his hand. He trapped a nerve in his elbow I think.

I got back from band practise about half an hour ago, we've got Iron Man, Hole in the Sky and NIB in our set for Battle of the Bands in a few weeks time.

Last Tuesday I believe.

[QUOTE=rippa32]So what did Mustaine do to his hand?[/QUOTE]

Motorcycle accident. Effed up his nerve.

Any of you want to?

I have my music tech arrangement of NIB on my pooter, would we be able to submit that?

It has to be of the members that post in the thread.

Ok.

Can I play bass?

Sure. I could try guitar, and maybe program the drums.

Sweet.

Do we actually have a drummer in this thread? How about a vocalist?

shadowstalker plays drums.

Vocals I may be able to do, but I doubt I could sound like Ozzy at all.

Who says we're doing an Ozzy song? :p

:-X

:lol:

I may be able to do Dio song alright, if we do Dio era.

If you guys want a chance at winning, i suggest going with a Ozzy era song, only because u want the people to recognize it, but you dont want Iron Man or something that is way played out.
