Same. 60 this year and still have the original first albums I bought with my paper round money back in '73 onwards. Would never part with them esp the gatefold Vol4 with all the pages inside.

Ikr we are born in the wrong generation

[@lawrencearansaspasstx4374]

I am 61 and started my love for BLACK SABBATH in 1971 and got to see them on the "Never Say Die" tour in 1978. A new band, Van Halen, opened the show. Then I saw Ozzy's tour in 1996. And these Dudes are still going! I have LOVED ROCK MUSIC since I was a little kid, but bands like Sabbath, Alice Cooper, and the Stooges kicked off the music that changed ROCK!! HAIL, HAIL, ROCK AND ROLL!!! THANK YOU, BLACK SABBATH!!!

[@erasmoganceres4376]

I'm from Mathis Texas man. Never seen Sabbath, and fuckin hate it.

[@lawrencearansaspasstx4374]

Erasmo Ganceres -I don't know how old you are, but I lived my teens and early twenties during the 1970's. I feel fortunate to have experienced that decade of Rock music history and to have been able to see many bands in concert. Many of the musicians who I was able to see are dead, and definitely, most of them are now in their 70s(I'm 62). I liked many of the groups, but BLACK SABBATH was the band that played the type of music that I had always wanted. I got a little taste of what I wanted, when I was 10 and heard, "Somebody To Love" by Jefferson Airplane. That song had a HARDER sound and I liked the NEGATIVITY. Then I bought the first STOOGES album in 1969. No Peace, Love and Flowers on that album! But then, in 1971, I was in 8th grade and a friend 'borrowed'' Sabbath's first album from his oldest brother. He stuck it in my hands and said, "You NEED to hear this!!!" I listened to it about 200 times, before I returned it. I haven't been the same since. I didn't think that I would EVER see Sabbath! But, when I got word that they were coming to Corpus in November of '78, I got tickets and me and my chick were THERE! I don't really remember Van Halen opening, but I DO remember that Ozzy wore the purple and green fringed shirt. They were GREAT, but it didn't last long enough for me. Then in 1979 Tony and Geezer wanted Ozzy OUT. But Ozzy got BIGGER and Tony Iommi spent alot of time looking for singers. I saw Ozzy in 1996 at what used to be called Johnnyland. Sepultura and Type O Negative(another favorite of mine) opened and Ozzy did a two and a half hour set in front of about 20,000 people. He did his songs and Black Sabbath songs. He was in really good shape and put on a show to remember. I was able to see some very cool Rock events and musicians in the '70s: Lynyrd Skynyrd in '76, Sammy Hagar's first solo tour in '76, Ted Nugent's first tour(Derek St Holmes slinging), Judas Priest"s first American tour(they actually opened for REO Speedwagon!!!)in 1977, saw Blue Oyster Cult's laser show(before the Government stopped it) and got to shake hands with Buck Dharma, saw Alvin Lee and Joe Cocker of Woodstock fame, got to meet Tony Stevens and Roger Earl of Foghat, watched Blackfoot perform at the Armadillo World Headquarters in Austin while sitting with Handsome Dick Manitoba singer for the Dictators, saw AC/DC with Bon Scott, Chicago with guitarist Terry Kath, Molly Hatchet with Danny Joe Brown singing, Def Leppard's first American tour opening for Whitesnake and Jethro Tull. WHENEVER you get the opportunity to see ANY of the Old School bands and musicians, GO! They WON'T be around much longer and they are the people who are the ROCK GREATS. Rock on, Bro!🎸🤘😝

[@danielnovosad3392]

I’m almost 56 now and was living in Spokane WA in Sept 1978 when Black Sabbath was there for a show. I was 13 and a half then. Had the ticket 🎫 that a friend had got for me but my parents wouldn’t let me go because it was a school night so my brother who was 4 years older got to go instead. Yes Van Halen was the opening band and the reviews were good. Still regret not going to this day more than 42 years later!

Absolute monster of a tune

[@TacomaPaul]

"Sabotage" was their absolute best !

[@natedog9452]

TacomaPaul actually Ozzy considers Sabbath Bloody Sabbath as their best album, I trust his judgement

[@Ablequerq]

Also most underrated.

[@edwinjamescarlson5156]

Indeed it was. My favorite as well, such a change from demented evil, to super sci-fi lyrics via Geezer butler. And the studio recording is drenched in reverb throughout. Edwin Iommi...

[@rafaelbriganti502]

Despite Ozzy's opinion, I consider Vol 4 the best record! And "Sabotage" has so very underrated gems, but it's a weaker album than all previous ones.

[@alessandromariani99]

I think it's: 1)Vol 4 2)Paranoid 3)Sabbath Bloody Sabbath 4)Master of Reality 5)Sabotage 6)Heaven and hell 7)Black Sabbath 8)Mob Rules 9)Dehumanizer 10) 13

[@randallbates9020]

I was already a Black Sabbath fan and in something like 1976 we were on a bus with a bunch of us from High School heading to an excursion in the Hill End goldfields. Instantly I recognized the voice and the band and realized they had a new album. Still love this song.
