BLACK SABBATH - Into the void Reaction!!!!

[@gayeocu]

Jimi and Tony are awesome... Jimi mixed minor pentatonic with arpegios from each chord witch was genious and hard to creat (pleeeease react to Little wing, that will be clear...) and Tony is the metal god, Jimi was the rock god...

[@mosesgarner2404]

Toni better than Jimi in my book for sure easy

I remember seeing an interview with Tony and he talked about how Dio had to adjust his singing and writing approach when he joined Sabbath. Dio wasn't used to all of the tempo changes and he said something to the effect of "you can't do that." Tony said, "what do you mean? We've been doing this for 10 years. It's what we do."

[@tomfabozzi5353]

It’s a shame there was a clash of strong characters there. Because Dio made only four albums with Sabbath, and was with them for less than 5 yrs in total. 3 of them are brilliant and one is pretty good. This isn’t an Ozzy/Dio thing, btw; Ozzy made 6 cracking albums in a row with them.

What's crazy is how someone can create a genre. Tony heard Jimmy H and The Beatles, and you get Black Sabbath. Dimebag hears Van Halen, Sabbath, Priest, Metallica/Megadeth and he creates Groove metal. Then you have Korn who hears it all and creates New Metal. It's just mind blowing to me. And LL Cool J changed the rap game, and N.W.A took it from there.

[@andrewhutchinson8025]

Without a doubt the most important inspirational and influential metal band in history. Almost the majority of metal sub genres have been influenced by Sabbath. But as great as Iommi is I think Terry Geezer Butler is as important in the mix of innovative dark and moody metal that is Black Sabbath. Then take Ozzie's lamenting and scornful voice and add Bill Wards mental jazz beats and we have the most special recipe for a metal band ever. Without Sabbath there would be no Metallica or Maiden Slayer Venom Bathory etc etc . Also dark and esoteric lyrics by Geezer Butler must of been other worldly in a time where The Beatles and the Stones where the lyrics of the moment.. IMHO that era of Sabbath is untouchable and later lineups just don't have the same impact. Children of the grave is the most amazing song to me but I can't even begin to imagine what Black Sabbath- the first album must of sounded like to a fifteen years old kid experiencing post rationing grim and depressing Britain and hearing that dark and atmospheric beginning. And fifty years later sounds as good as it's ever been. Black Sabbath flying the 🇬🇧 for innovative British music and providing a soundtrack for countless generations worldwide. Truly exceptional music from a truly exceptional band 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇬🇧🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘

[@joeallegra556]

It is so refreshing to hear your appreciation of the magnitude of Mr. Iomms talent. Journalists used to mock this band, called them talentless. Three chord dinosaurs. As Sori stated, he put two to three songs into one. Another thing that is underestimated about Tony, his lead work. It is truly melodic, at times beautiful and always relevant. You are correct Vin. He is truly a genius.

[@robertperrotto870]

Disagree with you on his lead work, barely adequate to uderwhelming . I always thought if you combined Iommi's riff writing with Blackmores leads, especially combined with Dio's voice, the universe would stop yo listen.

[@joeallegra556]

@@robertperrotto870 awesome take. Both Legends. I however agree to disagree. Mr. Iommi was not going for shred. He was about the entire composition. Not that Blackmore wasn't, he was phenomenal. Just a little more self indulgent. For proof of that statement. Compare a live album of either Deep Purple or Rainbow to Sabbath. A tad long in the tooth was Mr. Blackmore. Love em both. Just my opinion 🤘🎸

[@robertperrotto870]

@@joeallegra556 Which is why. to my ear. Iommi underwhelmed. His leads just did not contain that "emotion" or Je ne sais quoi that Blackmores leads contained, more so with Rainbow then with Purple (IMHO, Rainbow is where Blackmore really showcased his talent)

@@robertperrotto870 okay. The ear is the key to all of our views. One man's masterpiece is another man's mockery. Perhaps ( IMO ) listen to his work with Tony Martin.

Peace Out!🎶🎸🤘 ...I forgot to add. I agree wholeheartedly about your summation between Purple and Rainbow. A fan of both but Rainbow Rising is a masterclass in Metal. I believe some of Ritchie's finest work resides in those grooves.

There is some form of a Sabbath influence or sound in almost every rock band who ever existed since Sabbath formed. They heavily influenced bands for decades and are still influencing new bands today. It seems crazy they still have an impact on bands 50+ years later but its true. They are the creators and founders of heavy guitar music and spawned so many heavy bands since. It is just simply incredible. Sabbath should have a movie about their story. It would be a huge Hollywood success without a single doubt. Sabbath are so much more than just a band. They are a legendary force of nature who survived decades of challenges -pitfalls- criticism - line up changes- accidents - and so much more.

13:05 and by accident.. littrally.. Toni chopped two fingertops off at his last day at the metalsheet factory, his chief bought him a record of a blues guitarist who missed a finger ad yet played with trhee fingers. Tomi listened to it, and started making fingertips out of his mom's empty dishwash bottles, melting it on his fingers to a ball, and sandpapering fingershapes out of it. His middlefinger lost the most, and has through the year still muchpain, so you often see him playing with his middlefinger up. Later he used banjo strings to weaken the tension on his scartissue when he wants to bend the strings, on the plasic fingertips he cut a strap of leather from an old jacket, glued it on, and tuned his guitar down into C, geezer the bassplayer followed the downtuning.

not only did Tony have no one to take inspiration from when they started... he came at it from a jazz/blues background. check out the live version of Wicked World on Live At last and you'll see just how good these guys were respect :)

[@rockandmetaljunkie]

Iommi's tone in the first 6 albums was the result of a "happy" accident. The loss of the tips of his two middle fingers made him use prosthetics. In doing so, he had to put an extra strain on the strings, and apply more pressure because he couldn't feel them. That alone altered the sound of his guitar to a great extent. His trill technique (combination of hammer-on and pull-offs), also sounds like no other guitarist, because the material on the tip of his fingers is adding even more distortion. You won't get the same result when you're using your own skin. I know that because I'm a guitarist and one day I wanted to experiment and tried to make for myself the same prosthetics that Tony used, and when I did, the sound was completely different. Another major reason for Iommi's sound was the Dallas Rangemaster treble-booster pedal that Tony used. In two recent interviews for Gibson TV, Tony said that in the mid 60's, o local guy in Birmingham modified his pedal and it sounded better than ever. kzbin.info/www/bejne/gn-Vd4x_nayql6M Last but not least, one must not underestimate the contribution of Ward's drumming to the whole Sabbath sound. He is a fantastic drummer. His sense of swing, groove and Jazzy background contemplate Iommi's heavy riffing perfectly. Put any other drummer behind the kit and those heavy riffs loose a lot of their power.

[@EuphoriaCyborg]

I'm gonna cut off my fingers now.

[@bernardsalvatore1929]

Vin let me see if I could try to give you a little bit of perspective as to why these musicians from that time were so innovative and unique and genius! The world musically in the 1960s was like The Lawrence Welk Show kind of and maybe with a little bit of Soul Train and American Bandstand type of a vibe! Everything was geared towards top 40 AM radio play! But then a generation of guitarists that were heavily influenced by old Southern Blues from the poor areas of the South, stuff like Leadbelly and blind lemon, began to create the music that we know as rock and roll and its Offspring, heavy metal. It was indeed wonderful to have been alive to watch the transition of what happened to music in those days!!! I hope that sheds a little bit of light on to your questions and Curiosities

[@yukas1ngas]

The thing that most surprises me in this song is not rhythm/measure changes (it was a lot other Sabbath songs) but slight fastening/slowing they do during song. No radical change but everybody plays next tact 10-15 bpm faster then slower then again faster. Simultaneously. Fascinating

My take on it is this: All ”heavy” or ”proto metal” stuff in the 60s and early 70s was very rooted in the blues. Sabbath took the blues to the next level an ignited something. They made the blues so damn heavy and raw. They never called themselves heavy metal in the beginning. Another band did though. The band that was the first band to do a purely new genre, Heavy Metal, and didn’t do blues (but were deeply influenced by it) was Judas Priest. Discuss! :)
