Yes, Metal was invented in England.

What's interesting is there stuff never really scared me I just thought it was good music

And Tony never called it heavy metal he just called it good heavy Rock

They did it in two days because they went in and recorded it live in the studio nowadays bands record albums at home and mail it to the other guy and make an album and too many modern technology in today's music so it takes them 8 months to make an album

You have budgie sir Lord Baltimore dust

Led Zeppelin had two heavy records before the first Black Sabbath record.

Iron Butterfly had the doom sound that showcased the band’s unique blend of psychedelic rock, hard rock, and heavy metal elements in the 17 minute song In A Gadda Da Vidda in 1968 ...Side 1 of the INAGADAVIDA album is a bit more different and not heavy but very progressive ..The album is about a 40 percent precursor to the metal genre ..Doug Ingle just decided not to stay with formula and the band missed out on the potential they had .

The question comes down to 'who invented the 2/3 finger power chord.'? That can only be Tony Iommi! No-one thought of it before him, nor did he himself, until 'the accident.' Though distortion was 'a thing' by then, it wasn't used with the deadly accuracy of Iommi. So yes, Sabbath invented 'metal' as a genre in its own right and something distinct from 'heavy rock' or hard rock'.

As a FULLY REALIZED statement, probably so. There were plenty of LPs before with ELEMENTS, a song here n' there. ZEPPELIN 'One' and 'Two" had some VERY heavy songs on them. That and some Cream tracks provided the template. It should be noted that Plant and Bonham grew up just south of Birmingham. They were friends with the Sabs AND with the guys from Priest.

I didn't start listening to Sabbath until after I got sober.

First two albums were great, after that not so much

It's my belief that Sabbath was instrumental in inspiring a new genre of music called Metal, but Sabbath in my ears is really a "Progressive Hard Rock" band. There were a few bands in 60'/70s doing stuff that was equally as" Heavy "as Sabbath but not as Dark. Sabbath's Heavy Dark undertone gave them the making of something different. Metal really is a different beast. Faster brashy guitars, flashy stage appearance ,and more noise. Look backwards at the growth of Heavy Metal music and it never really reaches Sabbaths weight in its Tone and Darkness. Maybe "Heavy Doom Rock" may be more fitting to its genre at that time. Either way, even Ozzy on his own never carried the Heavy /Dark presence of Sabbath. Sabbath is in its own Genre. It's still pure and really unchallenged. Even with Dio era Sabbath was still Sabbath, Dio added more Drama to the sound. But Dio as a Band is no Sabbath. Don't get me wrong Dio was Dark Magic and I loved it . Ozzy Ozbourne as a band is absolutely closer to metal and would and could be called a Metal Band. Sabbath beyond trying to fit into a category, they worked hard at staying true to their sound, they didnt, model themselves after anyone else. It's real and unpretentious. It's not trying to win over anyone. Unlike metal which is generally loud, fast obnoxious in your face vocals and screaming guitars. My thoughts as a 44 year Sabbath fan.

Link Ray and the rumble was the first song to be banned on the radio for being to violent

just discovered your channel but from what i can tell you do good work. looking forward to checking out more.

My first concert! Opening act, REO. As the lights dimmed, the security started leaving. Joints lit up and were being passed around. We weren't old enough to buy beer, but we tired, and we were rewarded. The bartender didn't even charge us.The main act. Grand Funk Rail Road. This was in the Oklahoma city area. I don't remember the exact place, but I remember the concert. I was there with my best friend Jackie and a couple of others. Man it was GREAT! After the concert ended and the main doors opened the smoke just rolled out 🤣. Great time, great memories. Love you guys. Rock on 🥰.

You go Mark 👍👍

Sharon seems to have her dads ruthless streak and im glad i dont have her as my employer.

“Are you a guitar player?” I’ve been playing for 40 years but if Richie Kotzen asked me that question, I’d have to answer; compared to you? No.

Got my vinyl ordered!! Gotta love Mark! My rock icon!!

Excellent hat brother!

Love these guys and Dirty Honey. What a show that would be!

Such incredible talent, yet so humble.

Billy is and always will my bass guitar hero

I thought Chris was excellent with ACDC. He had fantastic chemistry with Angus and very charismatic on stage..I loved Live at Donnington. He was brilliant. Phil just sits there expressionless with a biggie hanging out his mouth counting away. Poor guy too damaged from his alcoholism and drug abuse. He used to be gorgeous, beautiful blue eyes.

Carcass necrotism

ticket prices are much higher to make up the difference now

I'mi hungry for some Vanilla fudge.

Not to takeaway anything from other drummers, but the high Fito effuses is so simply pleasurable and engaging. His thing is for the pure fun of playing for the love of music and the commercial aspect is almost absent. Love you Fito.

There is just something about Kotzen that is off for me.

I saw Mr. Big on the Lean Into it tour.They didnt play To Be With You as it was not a hit at that time. However, Being in college at that time we used to jam and sing out loud to it every night. It was bound to be a hit.

Awesome guy!

For me, it is neck and neck between "Master of Puppets" and ""How will I laugh tomorrow when I can't even smile today"

Sheer Heart Attack.

Under-rated band with insightful lyrics!

the clash london calling .....best album ever never mind 3rd

Overall a good conversation with excellent choices. VERY happy to see Wishbone Ashe on that list as you hear so little about them anymore. Also surprised to see Def Leppard's Pyromania ABSENT from the list! Pyromania was explosive for its time (record sales, MTV, production and hard rock / metal).

What a great interview ! Billy is such a fantastic guest. Very well spoken and intelligent.
