OFF: Re: Heaven and Hell

[gary shindler]

It's interesting to see Dio get his due now. While he was with first with Sabbath there seemed to be so much mudslinging between the Sabbath and Ozzy camps. 
I really like "Rainbow Rising" and think it could be interesting if he worked with Ritchie Blackmore again. Unfortunately Cozy Powell's out of the picture and Blackmore's playing renaissance festival music.

Yeah, it used to be I barely rated Dio-era Sabbath, but I listened to  
a lot of stuff in the first time in a long time when Rhino put out  
the Dio-era Sabbath compilation (and the few new tracks weren't bad  
at all, though I still think the last Iommi solo album, with Glenn  
Hughes, had some better stuff).  But then the new live Heaven & Hell  
DVD (which, unfortunately, I don't own, but did see before I left the  
UK) *really* impressed me.  Particularly for some songs from  
_Dehumanizer_, which I had never really liked the sound on, were just  
*huge* live.  (Of course, it may help that they´re probably played  
live now at least a half-step lower than on the records. :)

Anyway, good stuff.  Leaving the UK, I missed my chance to see the  
band in London last December, but I _will_ pick up that live DVD when  
next I'm in the States and will be watching for the new studio album  
next year.  And, of course, if they come down to Colombia, I´ll go  
see them. :)

Cheers,
Carl
