Dio did have the range and a total different style of vocals. He was more into the Gothic stuff.
Even the way he dressed. He looked like he should have been living in 14th century England.
(Lotta people thought he was from England even).
Agree with a lot of people statements. Ozzy, with Sabbath were/are icons, who were innovators.
Who had a style of music that was/and is still copied today. Ozzy's career, like i said, was close to the edge.
Sharon saved Ozzy. Randy Rhoads was Ozzy's inspiration. Seeing Sabbath/Ozzy so many times, I can definitely
agree that Ozzy never had the best stage show.
Dio was absolutely more of a showman.
Van Halen blew Sabbath away at that 78 show, btw

Ozzy sang barely moving around on the stage, stood mainly holding on to the mic stand.
The music was great, just was a drunk, wasted Ozzy.
