[@coolmacatrain9434]

@@JonWWFKrebs I was more talking about their recorded work in general .... tunes like "Tomorrow's Dream" and "Supernaut" are a perfect examples of the Guitar & Bass parts being written to compliment each other, rather than as simply functional "harmonic" parts.

[@AppalachianMountaineer1863]

@@coolmacatrain9434it’s because the band understood that you need only one instrument steering and the rest driving, regardless of what that instrument is. War Pigs is a good example of Tony taking a bit of a backseat for Geezer who lead into the song with some exceptional bass playing, same for NIB. Lord of this World is an example of Bill Ward really taking over on drums.

Guitar vocals and bass are live. Drums seem to be a playback.

[@derekmok]

I've heard Top of the Pops does that (live vocals, all instruments pre-recorded), but if this drum track is pre-recorded (Bill Ward's out-of-sync miming could be an editing problem instead of performance, though it's more likely he just missed the hits), it's not the same track as the record. It's got fewer fills, and the bass hammer-ons are also in different places. The guitar and vocals are likely live.

[@MrKayley10]

Bollocks, they re-upload bootlegs. That there still hasn't been a DVD of archive footage in high quality (Paris 1970, Cal Jam 1974, Midnight Special, etc) is a fucking travesty. The version of the Paris show up on the channel is a bootleg VHS copy taped off Yorkshire TV in the 80s, the original film reel is owned by Reeling In The Years.

[@toadfan64]

Yeah, they are missing some good stuff, but my point was basically that at least unlike The Beatles, Sabbath have uploaded all their songs on KZbin to listen to, minus a few good live shows. Much better than when I go to The Beatles channel, and there's like 7 songs uploaded out of like 200+, and anytime their stuff gets uploaded by others, it gets taken down right away, like the music video for I Am The Walrus.

The Beatles' Helter Skelter in '68 is being considered early metal, but this 'Paranoid' is levelling it up quite a bit more. Bpm were up and it's just so much more 'whole' in comparison to Helter Skelter. Let's say that Helter Skelter was a nudge in a certain direction and this was the completion of the initiation. It's remarkable that someone came up with Paranoid in 1970. There is hardly any reference before showing the way. I've known this all my life (I was only born in '72), and I have always appreciated this particular song, one never gets tired of it, it provides tons of energy. A short, but hellish burst of it.

Iommi's guitar isn't even plugged in lol I enjoyed the rapid visual cutting between bass and lead 1:42 - 1:55 - brilliant!

ozzys voice is amazing. also , geezer wrote the lyrics to this song. this song also took about 20 minutes to make

[@missdee4927]

Yeah, I heard. Just 20 minutes. The lyrics were ahead of its time if you ask me.

[@matoko123]

20 minutes to write, a legend for eternity.

Geezer wrote all the lyrics to almost all of Sabbath's songs.

How have I never saw this before? I've worked with every video I knew existed 10+years ago. At some point that video of them in a boxing ring popped up. Never knew of this. Noteworthy that they actually played live on that show bc most of the time performers mime to album track. Nice.

[@martinhughes2549]

It's a live vocal to a re recorded backing track I understand. The BBC wiped this, but it was sold abroad and was used in the Swiss/German show called "Hits a Go Go ". It came to light when they repeated that show in 2014 on a German Satellite channel.

@martinhughes2549 Interesting. Upon 1st listen my impression was the amplifiers weren't at normal capacity, the guitar has the least punch of anything I've heard. I took that as a last minute stipulation for playing to that crowd live. Sounds different than say, the Beat Club where it's sizzling, fingers off the strings = instant microphone feedback. I love this glimpse as there aren't really that many videos. Somebody does a club today and there's 15 cellphone videos.

Watching this whilst at the same time also watching Ozzy and son Jack fly fishing in Alaska and Ozzy kissing his Pomeranion dog Rocky and declaring how much he loves him..You've gotta love Ozzy...he's a legend !
