Mike Isles 583 Posted April 4, 2021 Ozzy BS classic and cannot be compared to any other version. Loved the 2 DIo BS albums. RJD had a better solo career for sure. Met them both. Ozzy was a mess. Met Dio at a friends house in CT as he had Richie Blackmore and RJD as guests. That was a great day. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mike Isles 583 Posted April 4, 2021 Edit. It was Richie’s house in CT and my friend was invited and I tagged along. Friend taught him magic tricks in exchange for guitar lessons. Dio just happened to be there that day. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Big Guy 1,400 Posted April 4, 2021 It's not BS without Ozzy even though he's never been a great vocalist. RJD on the other hand is one of the greatest hard rock / heavy metal vocalists ever. I feel exactly the same way about Van Halen ( DLR & Sammy ) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Either way I don’t remember where I saw that show. Ozzy jumped the shark with Bark at the Moon. Really Ultimate Sin but Bark was close 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
