Black from the dead...

[Guz2]

Black Sabbath are making a new album, under the name Heaven and Hell.
Dio-Vocals
Tony Iommi-Guitar
Geezer Butler-Bass
Vinny Appice-Drums

How could a lineup like that fail? Here's the new single, Bible Black. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3clLf-L9oSo&feature=related

I love it, it sounds like a cross between Dio's solo work and his work with Black Sabbath, with a bit of vintage Sabbath thrown in for good measure.

What do you all think of it?

I heard this on the local alt. rock station in the car yesterday and the first thing I said to my wife was; "Dio? The 80's must be making a comeback."

I suppose there will be long-time fans out there that will love it. IMO, this type of rock has become a parody and is specific to its era. Tenacious D might be out of a job, though.

I liked Dio with Black Sabbath, Mob Rules & Heaven and Hell were great.
I saw them with Judas Priest last August.

Sounds good! This could be interesting!

The longer Dio is singing, the bigger a joke he becomes. A funny one we had last year (amongst the local sound guys) was the ubiquitous Behringer 'Ultra-DI' being transformed into the 'Ultra-DIO' which somehow gave it mystical powers. Sure, the man's a good singer; but he's getting beyond a joke.

[what the funk of it]

Aww, take it easy in Dio. After all, he is the Gypsy Queen.....

Aww, take it easy in Dio. After all, he is the Gypsy Queen.....

But he's the missing member of Spinal Tap!

Come on, He is the holy diver......
..........keep it quiet, rent boy!

Shhhh! You're supposed to keep it a secret!
