TONY IOMMI On RONNIE JAMES DIO Joining BLACK SABBATH - "It Encouraged Us To Write In A Different Way; The Whole Field Was Open Again"

Black Sabbath bassist Geezer Butler and guitarist Tony Iommi spoke with Martin Popoff for Goldmine, looking back on the band's years with Ronnie James Dio. Following is an excerpt from the May 2021 cover feature:

To take you back, in 1980, something called the New Wave of British Heavy Metal was raising the stakes for the music that Osbourne, Ward, Tony Iommi and Geezer Butler had invented through the issue of Black Sabbath one Friday the 13th in February 1970. Fortunately, after two commercial duds with Osbourne, the band were about to deliver an immediate rush of recorded adrenaline that could compete with the headbanged fare of any young upstarts who would dare question the continued relevance of the undisputed masters of metal.

“Once Ronnie came into the fold, we had a different voice all together,” begins Iommi, underscoring the freshness of Black Sabbath 2.0. “It encouraged us to write in a different way, really. The whole field was open again to trying different things. Ronnie could sort of adapt, with his voice, and it created a different vibe altogether and started us off writing some different new material. We had been in a bit of a doldrums. Once Ronnie got involved, it made us work and made us think more about what we were going to do. And he was encouraging us to do more. It was really refreshing.”

“It was obvious that Sabbath needed a change,” says Butler. “It felt like the original lineup had to come to an end. By the end of the ’70s, it just wasn’t happening together. Ozzy was really unhappy doing stuff, I was thinking about leaving, and the record company seemed to have lost interest in us. It either needed to completely split up or get somebody else in that was into what we were doing.”

Singer Ronnie James Dio joined Black Sabbath in 1979 which resulted in two back-to-back classic albums: Heaven And Hell and Mob Rules. On those memorable albums, Dio’s soaring tenor and gothic songwriting were the perfect foil for the band’s bone-crushing mix of razor-sharp riffs, intense grooves, and dark imagery.

Rhino salutes the long shadow cast by this short-lived lineup with newly remastered versions of both albums expanded with rare and unreleased music. Heaven And Hell: Deluxe Edition and Mob Rules: Deluxe Edition will be released separately on March 5. Each album will be available on 2-CDs ($19.98), or a 2-LPs ($31.98). Due to space constraints, both vinyl editions include a selection of bonus material from the CDs. The music will also be available via digital download and streaming services the same day. A live version of “Neon Knights” previously unreleased in North America, and a live version of “Voodoo” can both be heard below. Pre-orders can be placed here.

Dio joined Black Sabbath for the first time in 1979 and quickly found kindred spirits in guitarist Tony Iommi, bassist Geezer Butler, and drummer Bill Ward. When Heaven And Hell was released in April 1980, the album was met with effusive reviews for the band’s return to form on metal masterpieces like “Neon Knights” and the title track. The album reached #9 in the U.K. and #28 in the U.S., where it was also certified platinum.

Heaven And Hell: Deluxe Edition adds several bonus tracks that have never been released in North America, including versions of “Children Of The Sea” and “Die Young” recorded live in 1980 in Hartford, CT. The set concludes with live rarities like “E5150” and “Neon Knights” that originally appeared in 2007 on the Rhino Handmade’s limited edition collection, Black Sabbath: Live At Hammersmith Odeon.

To follow-up Heaven And Hell, the group returned to the studio in 1981 to begin recording Mob Rules, with drummer Vinny Appice joining the band for the first time. Released in October 1981 and certified gold, the album was another Sabbath classic, including standouts like “The Sign Of The Southern Cross,” “Turn Up The Night” and the title track.

Mob Rules: Deluxe Edition boasts an expansive selection of rare and unreleased recordings. Along with additional tracks from Live At Hammersmith Odeon, the collection also includes a newly mixed version of “The Mob Rules.” The cherry on top is an entire concert recorded in 1982 in Portland, OR. Highlights include stellar performances of “Neon Knights” “Heaven And Hell” and “Voodoo.”

The Dio-fronted lineup disbanded in 1982 but reunited a decade later to record Dehumanizer and tour before going on hiatus again. The group came together again in 2006 to record three new songs for Rhino’s era-spanning collection, Black Sabbath: The Dio Years. The collaboration led to a highly anticipated world tour in 2007 where the group was billed as Heaven And Hell. Their final album of new material, 2009’s The Devil You Know, again demonstrated the musical bond between the band members was unparalleled.

Что тут скажешь, легендарные записи. При всей любви к классике с Оззи, Саббат с Дио для меня занимает отдельную нишу, словно совершенно иная, не менее (а даже и более) грандиозная группа.

Килтаймер, а ты-то что слушаешь? Ингви Мальмстина? Так может, и Хендрикс тогда эскимо на палке?
