[@danb8891]

The true is we all love Brad Wilk and he seems like a great guy and he is an insane drummer from another legendary band ! But as a fan we would all love to see Bill Ward playing the drums on that record...

[@lcRadec]

Rage Against The Machine and now Black Sabbath. Sir, you had my curiosity but now you have my attention.

[@theshadowlands14]

And Audioslave

[@stompthatazz3967]

I never used to think much of him when he was just with Rage Against the Machine I knew he was pretty badass and then he was a talented drummer but I didn't think you'd make it this far I didn't think nearly 20 years later I'd see him play for Black Sabbath dude's definitely earned his star and he's probably up there with one of the greats of our generation that's for sure

[@jlsmsu12]

Brad Wilk has the same initials as Bill Ward.....and he sounds great on '13'

[@histermx]

Ho my goodness

[@Obi-WanKannabis]

If his name was Brad Will it'd be a perfect anagram

[@heftyalan1152]

Brad Wilk has a great groove. He doesn't swing like Bill Ward as they grew up in different eras but other than that I could not think of a better drummer. Also sounds great on 13.

[@GolgothaViruss]

13 was THE absolute worst album, God Is Dead? Its them ripping off the song Black Sabbath, Loner? NIB rip off

[@Fcomendozalara93]

A BLACK SABBATH movie is a great idea, SABBATH story, heavy metal history!!

[@synthhero1347]

Now thats a shout

[@nelsonko5845]

I read his interview from an issue of Modern Drummer like 15+ years ago...he was talkin bout being confident of the spaces you leave in your playing...that single advice has stuck in my head for the rest of my life as a drummer...man, i salute you, Brad!

[@Machinedead]

[@GorGob]

Brad has a nice lively style. Goes well with the groovy riffs.

[@el07aab]

Brad is just a super chill guy. He seems to be the only member of RATM that kind of stayed grounded without any bullshit and shit talk. He just stuck to his job as an (incredible) drummer throughout his entire carreer and that is all that matters to him. Keep on doing your thing Brad, you're awesome!

[@nr92cp6]

+Axel Brugger I'd put Tim in that group as well. Which makes sense as the two seem to still play together all the time.

[@grasielenunesferreira1175]

Axel Brugger i agree with you Brad is amazing

[@synthhero1347]

Well he is a drummer after all :)

[@MidNiteR32]

You're a dumbass. He's definitely political like Zack and Tom. Even Tim. Also RAGE has always been political, their entire catalog is music about social/political issues. So Brad himself knows what he got himself into, and supports the cause. Not a drummer staying out of politics.

[@taytyty7444]

@@MidNiteR32 at least what wiki says. who knows what goes on in the back? I bet he don't wanna poke at their fragile imperial british sentiments too much!

[@MuteYourAzz]

Have you heard the album yet? This guy is a perfect fit and he wouldn't be there if the guys didn't want him to be. His drum style is perfect for this and it sounds like their first album. I thought Ward was drumming until I dug in and found out it was Brad.

[@sirusyes5833]

He did a Fantastic job on the album .. Great Drummer

[@tangogrrl]

After RATM, Wilk did some kickass work with Audioslave! so glad to see the originals schoolin' the youngsters. That's how it's done, kids! Ozzie in interview I just saw: ""Spinal Tap..! I didn't think it was funny, I thought it was like a documentry to me! I'm not jokin'!"

[@mackagan321]

Brad was a great choice for 13. Great album. plus that Bill Ward is tough shoes to fill

Incredible!

[@alexiex]

Really nice guy

[@gaidamangphaomei7964]

One of the coolest guy ...so underrated ... Of course he like to stay grounded

[@Superdrummerboy92]

I would love Brad right now. Drums pump me up alll the time. :)

[@DK-ii5sc]

Excellent!

[@Azaryah71]

I'm sorry but no one can replace Bill man.

[@uiltonpinheiroofficial3598]

Sinceramente, estou surpreso com uma dessas aí!!!

[@TippiGordon]

Man, that had to be one of the most thankless gigs in music history. Good for Brad for keeping a sense of humor about it, and good on Geezer, Tony, and Ozzy for making him feel welcome. (All that being said, it's hard not to think 13 would've been better with Bill Ward's swing on it.)

[@donut1800]

[@elsdenf.8598]

Tocou muito! Melhor escolha pra batera!!!

[@dragonmac1234]

Brad did an amazing job, when I first heard God Is Dead I thought Bill Ward was back. I laughed when Ozzy said he thought This Is Spinal Tap was a documentary. I wouldn't be surprised if some of the stuff in that movie was based on Mr Osbourne

Uma excelente escolha

[@linkbelt111]

Exactly right!!......

[@cafetenorio]

Great!

[@dio52]

And, apparently, the contract was unacceptable because it didn't include a full spot on tour. They wanted to record with him and then just have him do some guest spots on tour, and he said no. It was all or nothing for Bill. But Bill has had a long history of heart related issues disrupting tours. He could have had his name on the album and been a part of that, but he chose not to be involved.

[@andrewjames6209]

Watching the Live Aid clip was an amazing blast from the past as I was watching it then at home waiting for a young lady to come over to pick up her wallet as I had found it and called her. It was filled with cash and as I found out from her she was leaving later that day to visit her parents across the ocean,I did my good deed and the video brings back a great memory

[@arhamomar]

So was Brad. If watch the latest documentary, there is a part where Brad Specially mentions that it was unfortunate that the band was not able to work with bill , and said it himself "I personally would have wanted bill on the record"

[@miltonmoore2823]

Viva Black Sabbath! ✌🏻😷✌🏻

[@brianiversen4915]

good job brad

[@mighalford6530]

un saludo pa yisus desde chile

[@IommianMode]

Bill's memory is pretty shot after all his drug and alcohol problems, Ozzy and Tony said in interviews about it that "Bill couldn't even remember how to play the songs...he'd have stick-it notes all over his kit with notes helping him remember what to play."

[@idontmind5815]

Yikes! You know it's bad when Ozzy says it. I remember watching The Osbourne's and most of the time Ozzy was so fukt up on heroin or morphine that he could barely form a coherent sentence. He was mumbling out "words" and walking like a zombie. It's a goddamn miracle that he's still alive, but the same thing can be said about a lot of rock n' roll legends from that era. Brad Wilkes was a good replacement for Bill even though it wasn't permanent. Sabbath has had a plethora of bandmembers coming and going over the years.

[@JoseCarlos-lx3gf]

Brad foi bem !

[@grasielenunesferreira1175]

José Carlos o Brad é fera

[@craneo2099]

Brad must be on tour with sabbath!!

[@FooFighter201]

i totally agree with rick when he says that theres drummers who can play the metal, but there arent a lot of drummers like that who can play the jazz and the blues while bringing a heaviness to them like Sabbath does. I'm glad they didn't bring in some big well known metal drummer who goes crazy with double bass, cause i just don't think it would fit, i was pleasantly surprised to hear how well Brad fit in and i can't help but think what a great replacement he was on the album :)

[@warrenginmartini]

Brad Wilk: "What the heck I'm gonna do?". Says a lot, ... enough said!

This guy has the best job...

[@AbductedTheBand]

so cool that brad gets to play with black sabbath, and help them do a record theyve been working on for 35 years, but MAAAAN, he needs be help RAGE DO A NEW RECORD AAAAAAGGGGHH!!

[@amh007dude]

brad you done good lad ..... :) keep them old 3 fellas up to task of sabbath

[@vegetasasuke0]

Loved Brad's drumming on the album, personally I really don't see Bill doing that much better of a job if he had signed the contract & worked on the album. I really hope that Brad becomes a permanent member, kinda like how it was for Vinny Appice during the Dio era.

[@road_king_dude]

I wonder why Brad Wilk never played on tour with these guys?

[@caudalchile]

Road Glider I think he wasn't skilled enough for touring with them .

[@fede018]

that's bullshit! Have you never seen RATM live?

[@cuviemadeit]

prophets of rage needed brad

[@Badkarmarh]

He talked about that on a recent podcast (I think the podcast was Let There be Talk). IIRC, there was some inter band stuff going on between Ozzy and Tony, where Tony offered Brad the touring gig without asking Ozzy, and that created some conflict that led to Ozzy reneging the offer.

[@jackthomson5047]

@@caudalchile lol.

[@GRILLBUOY101]

I missed the end tour.i decided to Cutt me own bullocks off and paste em to the wall in homage to my favorite band.

[@sampark17]

What is the riff around the 0:18 mark I've just listened to the entire dulex album and couldn't find it

[@dawn7966]

# Ozzy quote "Spinal Tap. I didnt think it was funny, It was like a documentary to me !" Took Time to watch this. Interesting to see this evolution without Bill Ward. Brad Wilk ( prev Rage Against the Machine) taking on the task that is the Brummie Rock Icons Black Sabbath

[@jeffdowning4877]

Exactly. And it is what common sense should have told people instead of them jumping all over Sabbath screaming about how unfair and cold there were with Bill. Why would people assume these things? It made me angry reading comments like that. Bill rules. Its ok to be 60 something and not able to play like he could in decades past. It happens. He set the bar so high in the first place. Respect all around. I think both Wilk and Clufetos have done very well filling in.

[@drewbocop]

Brad Wilk has always been a massively underrated drummer but he is perfect for Sabbath. He's got a lot of groove and feel to his playing unlike a lot of these machine-like precision guys you see in metal a lot.

[@420amsterdam24x7]

about as close to a "younger Bill Ward" as there is in the world nowadays...hope he tours with them!

[@01REDEYEDDEVIL]

Bill wanted to stay sober. His drumming can't be beat.

[@44Edbuoy]

In case u dunno him, check out Audioslave & Rage Against The Machine, he's pretty rad.

[@kikiu2619]

Brad is so tight! Why didn't he play w/Sabbath on their last world tour.

[@brianphillips9152]

Would love to know the kit and snare he is playing there. Looks like Gretsch lugs on the toms and bead around center of the snare like a Ludwig supra or bb.

[@Ukraineaissance2014]

I saw another video where he talks quite a bit about his setup, it was called something like Brad Wilk on snare

[@mohdrazifhajikarim8136]

WILK! WILK! WILK!

[@tadhgbeanbradley]

What song is that at 0:18

[@doctornerve]

0:10 Hiwatt!

[@marc0d0n]

Brad Wilk's groove meshes PERFECTLY with Iommi's riffs and Geezer's bass lines. All of you complaining about Ward not being on the album, get a grip. This was a near-perfect Sabbath album, one of their best.

[@MrEvergreenLayne]

Why don't they have Brad on tour instead of that goober that raises his stick in the air on every other downbeat.

[@Mike-oz5pp]

That Goober your referring to is Tommy Clufetos, great drummer, but just not my cup of tea either

[@anthonymarks8684]

Clufetos is a miserable person. Total douchebag

[@billgeezeriommi]

So true wouldve been way better if Brad did the tour but I think he had prior commitments to Rage or something

[@TheRocker213]

It's on the Japanese version, the song is called Naïveté in Black.

[@jonathanergueta]

If brad isn't touring w/ Black sabbath. I hope that RAGE is n the studio working on a new sabbath! Lets cross our fingers.

[@musicheadful]

Never too late!!! Ozzy has been move on with Tommy for 13 album. He just try his best to do it. Realized that Brad is great job with Sabbath. Bill felt that his health problem dues. In case, for Sabbath remaining continued full "13" tours that fans pleasant to watch live and what worth would be!!!!!!

[@levigarrett8674]

Nobody will get me to believe that Bill Wards health was too bad to do studio work,his bad heart and a global tour wouldnt have worked out but the studio , and a Sabbath Album !

[@rafimohammad9168]

Funny to see that Brad looks like Prime James LaBrie during the record hahaha

[@hearinggonebeethoven5787]

Brad wilk does look like the young bill ward.. its just for me.

[@mikeanderson4459]

Also it's mark 10. Brad should be in poster with Tony geezer izzy

[@MrDreamEvil007]

Sad about bill but they couldn't pick a better person to fill in great dude great drummer now boys bring back Bill for the next 1

[@LEDFOOT49]

I saw them last night in Irvine Ca Verizon armpit gather

[@karakenio]

Any link? I heard Bill was offered 5%... Kudos to Brad Wilk, good job; but I haven't managed to enjoy the new album 100% knowing that Bill wasn't there (Can't help it!) My opinion.

[@cassidygage7497]

Nothing more appropriate. Black Sabbath = First heavy metal band, RATM = Last heavy metal band. Amazing, gratz on the dream gig Brad.

[@01REDEYEDDEVIL]

How do you know this?

No Brad Wilk=No Black Sabath.

[@chipbarkhouse6590]

Terrific player. Chip Barkhouse The Drummist

[@A247LOCKSMITH]

[@IommianMode]

That's very true. Ozzy can only barely sing anymore, and his memory is shot too. However, reading lyrics off of a screen is infinitely easier than relying on randomly placed sticky notes reminding you how to play a huge concert drum kit. It's been 8 years since Bill was "Sluggish" as you say. Sabbath never disappointed their fans as I can recall and I highly doubt that their lifelong friend and founding member of the band not being included had anything to do with money, unless you have proof.

[@keefriff99]

Bill Ward put out a statement saying, point blank, that the contract he was presented with was unacceptable.

[@tatenpurplehaze4130]

2:00 very related

[@RmB9104]

Isn't it suspicious? the new drummer is called brad wilk and the original drummer name was bill ward...Anybody xD

0:16 is it a jam or a song?

[@jamesmason1347]

Should’ve got Vinny involved

[@Werewolf914]

so me and my friends were coming up with a name for our band and one of my friends said White Sabbath, and I was like no fuck that lets call it Medium Lighting Sabbath and he was like what the fuck are you talking about? and I was like okay Sabbath Black? and he is like okay from now on you dont get to choose the band name haha dammit!

[@chrisfields123]

He did a great job on it. I wish they would have used Bill Ward at least for a track or two though.

[@gmanhirt8818]

You cannot blame brad for the gig,,it’s a once in a lifetime experience,, But I would have much preferred Mr Bill Ward,,

[@666777GG]

I saw Sabbath on 8/22/'13 with a view of Ozzy's monitors & it didn't look like teleprompters were around.

[@mauricioamyr9634]

Bill is irreplaceable, but Brad did a awesome job in the drums in this new record. I hope he stays in the band forever. The question is not to put Vinnie Appice in the band or any old Black Sabbth drummer of another formations of the band... I think that sometimes, you have to do some changes and use someone that is really ready to not just seat with the guys in the studio, but go out with them and make an big world tour. Bill was not ready to do this things anymore because of his health.

[@pedrovalls1]

Brad Wilk done a good job as a drummer in the 13 album, i liked so much! Now... A detail: Somebody already said that before but... Rick Rubin look like the fuckin santa claus xD hahahahaha
