Summary
Why is Live Evil still one of the most controversial live albums in heavy metal history? In this highlight from Booked On Rock, author Chris Sutton breaks down the legendary tension surrounding Live Evil and the collapse of the original Dio-era lineup of Black Sabbath. From accusations of secret late-night remixing sessions to criticism over the album’s production and crowd sound, Chris explores how mistrust between Ronnie James Dio, Tony Iommi, Geezer Butler, and Vinny Appice turned a live album into a full-blown band war. Chris Sutton is the author of Black Sabbath: The Dio Years (On Track Shorts), which explores the albums, songs, and legacy of one of Sabbath’s most celebrated eras. 🎧 Watch & listen to the full episode 🛒 Old Glory - Iconic music and sports fan merch 💰 Get 15% OFF | Promo Code: BOOKEDONROCK https://oldglory.com/discount/BOOKEDONROCK ---------- Booked On Rock is part of The Boneless Podcasting Network BookedOnRock.com The Booked On Rock Store The Booked On Rock YouTube Channel Follow The Booked On Rock with Eric Senich: BLUESKY FACEBOOK INSTAGRAM TIKTOK X Find Your Nearest Independent Bookstore Contact The Booked On Rock Podcast: [email protected] The Booked On Rock Music: “Whoosh” by Crowander / “Last Train North” & “No Mercy” by TrackTribe
