Ozzy: Speaks in an incomprehensible language that only his wife can understand... Sings perfectly...

[@Earthad23]

It’s so interesting

[@thossi09]

Yeah, it's a funny old world. I'm told that I've a bit of a (non-English) accent when speaking but have "perfect" American accent when "singing". A buddy of mine is at least a Nordic champion of stuttering when speaking, but if he just sings it's flawless. I remember seeing him at a gig, years ago. His between-song banter was A-grade stuttering, but when he sang (he was the singer in the band) it all came out so smooth. And very, very American :P

[@Bobobo-bo-bo-bobobo]

Singing uses a different part of the brain. That's why people like Ozzy or people with stutters can sing perfect.

Watching these two fall in love with things I love is why I follow this channel. It's so great seeing people discover something you love.

[@tylerbrunson851]

I wish I could go back and hear this song for the first time again.

[@ilir96]

The song is from 1970, the drummer is Bill Ward, a monster drummer, the lyrics are written mostly by Geezer Butler, the bass player, the singer is the great Ozzy Osbourne, and the guitarist and founder of the band is Tony Iommi, a left handed riff-genious. Tony has lost his finger tips from his middle finger and ring finger, but he didn't give up and he made some thimbles and put them on his fingers to keep playing. Now, Hendrix is from the '60s, and Iommi really doesn't have a lot to do with Hendrix, but Tony was strongly inspired by blues, and Hendrix was a great blues rock guitar player, so I guess that's why they sound similar, that's all I can say. And also, for the solos, in this song Tony actually played two different solos for each solo section, so that's why you can hear more than one guitar, the solos are double tracked/harmonised. There, hope I answered to all of the questions you made in the video! Black Sabbath is my favourite band, and I love this song!!

[@cherylelynn1917]

This Black Sabbath album came out Sept. 1970 when I was 14. I bought the album when I was 15. We played it...we ate it...we digested it and revered it. I'm 65 years old now but whenever I hear this song, it still evokes emotion. It was a masterpiece!!

The drummer, Bill Ward is one of the most underrated drummers of all time. Very primal. He's like Animal from the Muppets

[@PindleofKujata]

Don JuanVonBonfiglio III Funny thing is either Tommy Iommi or Ozzy came out and said that he can't do time signatures worth a damn, and has trouble keeping the timing of the song. It probably lends itself to the primal and offbeat nature of his drumming.

What you know about Black Sabbath

[@thomasstone3513]

Billy Ward is one of the greats. Jazz drummer 100 percent. He was all point and counterpoint. Why would you have to play a beat when your guitar and bass held that shit down like they did. As a drummer you were free to float in and out, around, bend time and drive your vocals.

The reason that Bill Ward's drumming has that groovy swing to it is because his four biggest influences were Gene Krupa, Buddy Rich, Louie Bellson, & Bernard Purdie -- all jazz, r&b, & funk drummers

[@cptight88]

You can absolutely hear the Purdie

Every musician's goal should be to write something that pushes Ryan from "That's hot. That's hot." to "That is just FIRE." to "That. Is. DESTRUCTION." Or to make George lean back in his chair and rub his eyes and push his glasses up because the song goes so hard he needs a break.

Tony Iommi invented heavy metal. He IS Iron Man. He worked in a steel mill in factory town Birmingham England. He was going to quit to join his friends & start Black Sabbath. On his last day a steel press machine that bends steel plates slammed down & cut off 2 of his finger tips. He relearn how to play again, made caps for his tips & Black Sabbath sound was born. Guitar God!

[@creamC19]

I totally agree! he is a true guitar god. I have seen them only once, but when Iommi entered the stage and started playing I felt all the energy and skills from him, it was like the whole atmosphere was focused around this guy (no I was not high xD) it was just sth. unique and special, that was the day I became a huge Black Sabbath fan \m/

[@hypolyxa7207]

No single individual invented heavy metal. It happened over time with contributions from a lot of different musicians.

[@Fred_Jones563]

Tommi also had to tune the guitar down a whole step to make it easier to play. That is how the heavy metal sound was born.

[@arthowardmusic3209]

No, he was going on a tour with Jethro Tull when he lost his fingertips. While he was in the hospital someone played him Django Reinhardt, a jazz guitarist who's fingers had been melted together in a fire. When he heard Django play with two fingers he figured he should be able to get by without his fingertips.

The British drummers, especially from the 60s and 70s were HUGE fans of American Jazz drummers. They turned into heavy metal.

[@begrackled]

Max Roach. I'd bet my next paycheck Bill Ward was thinking about Max Roach.

[@henryurbach5431]

Not only British; Neil Peart and Ian Paice (Deep Purple) were fans of Buddy Rich; Neil actually played on tribute album to Buddy. That's what's missing in many new drummers - they only grew up listening to rock and metal. Many can't play nuances in music and it all sounds the same. One of things that made Megadeth great was the jazz fusion background inspired drumming by Garth Samuelson (RIP) who left us too early living fast like some of his jazz heroes.

[@Marshall_EL34]

Agreed ...and jazz influenced funk ...and of course swing influenced them as well. But yeah ...jazz drummers have a unique command of a kit ...the dynamic inflections that they add ...add breath and life to the song.

Okay questions answered: 1) This album came out in 1970 2) Jimi Hendrix died in September of 1970, after coming out in England in 1967 3) Ozzy Osbourne: Vocals Geezer Butler: Bass Tony Iommi: Guitar Bill Ward: Drums 4) Tony Iommi is missing the tips of his 2nd and 3rd fingers of his fret hand, which is left handed, btw (they were severed in an industrial accident) 5) There is only one guitar player; anytime you hear multiple guitars playing on as recording, it is usually the one guitar player overdubbing the extra guitars. You can record a part, and then go to another track of tape (or digital medium) and add another part, usually a harmony or rhythm part. Jimi Hendrix was famous for this. Hope that helps.

Black Sabbath was originally named Earth and was a three piece blues band. Ozzy joined on vocals later. One day they saw a movie billboard for a horror movie titled Black Sabbath with Boris Karloff. Bassist Gezzer Butler realized people pay money to get scared. Why not scare them with music? Hence the birth of Black Sabbath and Heavy Metal.

Guys, you probably know it already, but that song was against Vietnam War (1970). Actually, it was supposed to be the title track of the whole album.... but a few hours before recording the album, the producer told them that such a name might get censored and shit... and so they had to find another name. Conclusion ? They gathered and wrote « Paranoid » in just a couple of hours, and made it the title track. Today, it's simply one of the greatest metal songs EVER.

Without Black Sabbath, there IS no heavy metal. 1970, the year metal was born. (2:26) This song was recorded in 1970, released the same year. (5:27) The drummer is Bill Ward. (6:33) Hendrix's career spanned from 1963 up to his death in 1970, whereas Black Sabbath (heavily influenced by blues and English rock) became a band in 1968 under a different name, eventually becoming Black Sabbath in 1969, recording their first record in 1970. Paranoid, the song this album is on, came out in 1970. (9:57) The solo has no harmonization on it, it is solely played by Tony Iommi, as he is the only guitar player in the band. The reason why it has this multi-layered sound is because Tony would keep the bottom strings of the guitar ringing to create a fuller sound while he would solo, as well as record multi-layered leads to add a bigger sound. (12:36) The reason why Black Sabbath is so great, is simply because when you think about the time, the late 60s or early 70s, there was NOTHING like them before or even after. Black Sabbath completely broke the mold of what music was during the time of flower power and the hippie movement when love and peace was prevalent and they came and brought the doom and gloom of the working class man in Birmingham, England to the forefront. Always remember, when it comes to heavy metal, SABBATH IS THE REASON. React to Death - The Philosopher ;)

For it to be a harmonization, the notes would actually have to be harmonized. Considering it's two separate leads played simultaneously, it's not a harmonization of notes but multiple layers of guitars weaving in and out of each other.

[@goatthulu6662]

Black Sabbath are from Aston, Birmingham, England. It was a rough, working lower-middle class, industrial neighborhood that was mixed racially and culturally. It still hadn't really recovered from the bombing it received in World War II. It was a factory town with a very bleak outlook, plenty of crime, street fights, gangs and drugs. All of this obviously informed their worldview and their approach to their instruments and what they wanted to sing about. They saw the hippy counterculture that was happening in San Fransisco and all the peace and love movement but didn't relate to it at all. Their lyrics were always darker, and naturally reflecting their own life experience. They tackled subjects like the occult, drug abuse, the horrors of war and mental illness. Black Sabbath become the blue-print of what heavy metal would become. Lyrics about darker subject matter; songs centered around "heavy" distorted guitar riffs; pounding drums; plenty of groove. Without really setting out to do so they started an entire new genre of music but were always still very rooted in blues and jazz. If you listen closely Black Sabbath have a very nice "swing" to their sound. The drums and bass in particular have a very jazzy feel about them. Keep it up guys. Digging your videos.

Black Sabbath delivered every note as if it was their new album. They improvised enough to keep it fresh, but really were hitting their times and it was black magic. When War Pigs starts, they turned the stage lights down, started the air raid sirens, and turned on spotlights. I had never really thought about how they had lived through the bomb raids, and how this song must feel a little like a fresh wound every time they play it. It gave me serious chills.

I know Tony has been doing a lot of stuff with Laney, but I don't think he was sponsored by them until the 80's or the 90's.
