Black Sabbath - N.I.B. [Dio Version]

This was taken from the "Deluxe Expanded Version" of "Mob Rules".
Recording from the Performances live at Hammersmith Odeon London (31/12/81 - 2/1/82), with Dio performing some of the "Ozzy Years" Sabbath-songs.

I still prefer the original version, but the way Dio says "MY NAME IS LUCIFER, PLEASE TAKE MY HAND!" is f*cking awesome.

[silviacamilletti]

What a voice... we all miss you, Ronnie James ❤️

That bass guitar playing by Geezer Butler might not have been hard, but it was epic. I could listen to that all day on an endless loop with no words.

[Dylan-nmvf]

The Dio version feels like seeing your teacher outside of school. Inside school it's the Ozzy version.

[rickychico]

Dio had a specific singing style that not many if at all seen from the 80s till now, that singing is and always was clasic rock

[CZECHMATE]

GEEZER BUTLER is totally underrated! This version kicks ass!!! 🤘

[mrbaris]

Black Sabbath is so lucky about frontmen; they had ozzy then dio then ian gillan!

[Moonwalker]

Dio imo was the most metal singer that ever lived.

[mikethespikergrummer]

I'm glad I grew up with the Ozzy version, but damn this is better

[jamesagwe]

Dio is the imbodiment of big things come in small packages

[somefudge]

From my point of view every times Dio sing someone'else song, it becomes a DIO song: this means the song gains DIO's magic but loses a lot of the original band's

[giogionist]

What a feeling and tightness especially on drums, that's because Vinny is a rock drummer and bill has a jazzy background but he's awesome as well.

[ericrojasvelez]

Both singers were and are(butdio R.I.P) great....just be lucky that we we're alive to hear and see and enjoy all those 80s that we we're them both many times....so....I'm glad that we and I still alive to enjoy even today still kicking

[TheDesiGaijin]

Why isn’t Dio’s version on Spotify or Apple Music, iconic!

[fishinitall]

DIO could have sung any other song and it would have sounded great. So sad that he had to pass so early.
