Heaven and Hell presented Resurrection Award at Metal Hammer's Golden Gods Ceremony

After this final interview clip with Heaven and Hell, we're all out of footage, which is just as well because the band is all out of shows -- at least for now. Obviously, we'll hear more from them when they finish their next studio album, which -- not so coincidentally -- is what they discuss in our last interview clip. Click "more" to watch. Read more...

Ready for more from our video interview with Heaven and Hell? Today, the band also known as Black Sabbath with Dio discuss their unsung 1992 album Dehumanizer (which was included in the recently released box set Black Sabbath The Rules of Hell) and touring in the best and worst of times.

VH1 caught up with Heaven and Hell to talk to the band about the Metal Masters tour and the recent box set, Black Sabbath The Rules of Hell, a collection of all of the albums singer Ronnie James Dio recorded with Black Sabbath guitarist Tony Iommi and bassist Geezer Butler. Here's part one of three, in which the band members discusses their set list for Metal Masters and how, like a good wine, they've only improved with age. Read more...

Dude, photo passes rock!

It seems unfair that the only way to take pictures from the front of the stage is to be a member of the media, and jump through hoops to get a little sticker that allows you to shoot the first three songs of a group's set. After all, the people who really want souvenir photos of their favorite bands are the fans, and they risk decapitation to sneak in camcorders and portable cameras, and even use their cell phone cams to shoot from wherever they're sitting. Sadly, their photos always end up looking like they were shot from a speeding train a mile away.

Fortunately for us, we've become part of that self-important media organization thingy, and now we can sometimes get our camera into shows. But we have to admit it's a little intimidating shooting with a dinky $150 Olympus digital zoom when everyone else in the photographer's pit is carrying around one or two of those $1,800, 40 pound Nikon SLRs that have about a dozen switches and buttons and run on diesel gas or propane. You have to have a stock broker's salary to afford the fuel.

Still, we think our photos speak for themselves. They're not New York Times quality, surely, but they're a whole lot better than anything we could have gotten from the 35th row.

Anyway, these were all taken Friday night in New York at the Heaven and Hell show. The band, which features ex-Black Sabbath singer Ronnie James Dio and current Sabbath members Tony Iommi (guitar) and Geezer Butler (Bass), probably would have been called something like "Black Sabbath with Dio" had Ozzy and Sharon Osbourne not had such a tight grip over the trademark. Still, H&H could have been called Moose Excrement and they still would have kicked ass at their only U.S. appearance so far.

The show was taped for an upcoming DVD and featured all the classics, including "Neon Knights," "The Mob Rules," "Children of the Sea," "The Sign of the Southern Cross," "Voodoo" and "Lady Evil. Sabbath, err, Heaven and Hell also played "Lonely is the Word" and "The Devil Cried," two of the three new songs written for the compilation, Black Sabbath: The Dio Years.

We were so mesmerized by the performance we almost forgot to take pictures -- which is what we were there for in the first place.

Heaven and Hell will take a few weeks off, then they'll return on April 22 to start their proper U.S. tour, which begins in Phoenix, Arizona and ends in Holmdel, New Jersey on May 19.
