Exploring the Rules of Hell - Paranoid (Live Evil Version)


"Paranoid" finds the band returning to the Ozzy era material again.

Dio overdoes it a bit here, bringing a little more to the song than it needed. If nothing else it illustrates how successful Ozzy's simple approach really was. In fairness to Dio though there isn't really much room to maneuver in the song.

The ending offered a nice surprise as the band transitions into "Heaven and Hell" again before leaving the stage while the audience calls for an encore.

I'll cover that tomorrow when I listen to "Children of the Grave"!
