Would you prefer a new Sabbath disc with Ozzy or Dio

[The Fiddler]

It sounds like Ozzy is completing a new solo CD, and of course Dio is touring with the Heaven and Hell Black Sabbath lineup. I won't believe any new Sabbath record with Ozzy is in the works until I see it on the store shelves. That's quite fine with me, as I'd MUCH prefer to see a new Sabbath disc with Dio and not Ozzy. I just don't know if it's ever going to happen. Hopefully the H&H tour will go well, the egos will be kept in check, and Dio and Iommi will realize that they will be more successful working together than apart (e.g. Dickinson/Harris).

DIO!

 

[AngraRULES]

Dio, no doubts.

 

[DarkOne]

Ozzy is done. Has been for a while now. He's just a caricature . . . a burnt out reality TV star. Dio is still a factor in the metal world.

I think Dio will win by a land slide on this forum and several others. Overall though I dont know if people would like that alot. There are just too many people that think Sabbath with Ozzy is the greatest thing since sliced bread.

 

[Purveyor Of Evil]

DIO any day of the week! Not even a contest.

 

[Creeps]

cast my vote for DIO, looks like he's winning by a landslide. Been itching since Dehumanizer.

I'd prefer a Sabbath disc with Ozzy and for Dio to do a Rainbow disc instead

 

[SyXified]

I'll go ahead and throw my hat in the ring for Ozzy. When I think of Black Sabbath I can only feel Ozzy's voice as correct for what defines their complete sound. Ozzy's pretty old, and I for one admire the fact that he still loves to go out on stage and run around and kick ass for everyone. I think Ozzy has one of the most underrated voices in metal: instantly likeable, warm, and approachable. He gave metal a dimension that not only created the 'dark' side with Sabbath, but the 'light' side with Rhodes and Lee that honestly had a lot to do with metal being able to expand into power metal type genres that were uplifting and triumphant.

Underrated? As a Singer, I believe he is quite overrated, not underrated.

As for the poll, no contest, DIO!!!

Couldn't have said it better.

[rainmaker_2413]

No Tony Martin option?
