BILL WARD is one of the most unique, creative and innovative drummers in all of rock music. Im glad to see him finally getting his due and being acknowledged for his contributions to the Sabbath sound and his influence on heavy music as a whole.

[@shawnbruce6934]

I Love Bill!

[@eppuee5413]

Bill Ward who get high whit OZZY and they like it he get (Bill) high cos they get lots of money and they did'nt know what to do with so much money have fun and they live well only Bill gets five hard attack that's life 😇😁🤪👊

[@husq48]

Absolutely! Except for the Born Again album, can't even tell if it's him on there...

[@saucyjk6453]

A truly great band. Geezer laughs like a mischievous Irish guy. He’s the glue. Bill is the heart. Tony the brains. And Izzy is just a glorious retart.

[@madnomad666]

Sleaziest backbeat in history. Of all the elements that made Sabbath heavy, heavier than any other rock band, the heaviest element was Ward.

[@jamiepastman5594]

Geezer Butler is so interesting, he’s this perfect gentleman telling stories of utter debauchery with a telling twinkle in his eye

[@user-sw2ob4iw1m]

Years ago I worked at two high end menswear stores in Birmingham, and Geezer came in and bought a leather suit which may have been for an award as said he was off to Nashville. He was such an unassuming and understated guy; quite a contrast to what he and the other band mambers got up to in their pomp.

[@UberLummox]

Yes! And his sense of humor was as interesting as well!

[@Geezer-yf8hv]

At the time of Sabbath’s heyday, Geezer was one of the most unique bass players in the world! Many people didn’t realize that Geezer wrote the lyrics, and created most of the riffs!!

[@Geezer-yf8hv]

Finally a musical tribute to a band, where they actually play the band’s music! I hate those videos that don’t even get the rights to play the actual music they played!

[@Geezer-yf8hv]

Ronnie James Dio was a Monster of a singer! He was perfect for the 2nd version of Sabbath!! The original was my favorite with Ozzy, but the Dio years were great, too! Dio was a great stand-up guy! A real person with his own standards, (which were very high)!!

[@ThiagodMoraes]

If you love rock n roll you've got to love Black Sabbath, they are amazing. All those 60´s and 70´s bands were amazing, what a time to be alive!!

[@Anglo_Saxon1]

Hearing of the feelings of insecurity and sadness that Bill experienced because of his friend Ozzy no longer being in the band is quite touching i thought.

[@maxbeale8186]

And now Ozzy is expressing that same sadness and wanting to perform with Bill again

[@markr.devereux3385]

There's something magical about bands like Sabbath because I was born in 95 and Sabbath is my favorite band. I can't explain why, but how the fuck a 40 years old band can still have such impact on the culture? I don't know, man.

Black Sabbath. Was my first concert i ever went to. It was Black Sabbath and Blue oyster cult. The Best Concert i ever seen. Until i seen Led Zeppelin. They was in 1975.. After that i was into metal all the way. But Sabbath i really do Love. Can't get no better. Dio was also Great. But Ozzy Osborne was the best singer for Black Sabbath.. But when they Finley broke up i was heart Broken. But i got to see the Godfathers of Metal. Hell Yes..❤ 100% Bad Asses And I still Listen too them .. And so does my Son's.

One of the maddest things I find about Tony Iommi is how chill he seems in his later years (from watching countless interviews post 90's) but in Geezer Butler's book he talks about how intimidating and aggro he could be and you can kind of tell...in this feature you can still see he's got a bit of a mad stare lingering from the cocaine addled days.

Agreed, I noticed that as well. It covers Born Again, Holy Diver in 83, the original line up doing Live Aid in 85...then jumps forward the best part of a decade to Dio returning for Dehumanizer in 92! Then the original line ups 90s reunion. I count Seventh Star, Eternal Idol, Headless Cross, Tyr, Cross Purposes, Forbidden- six Black Sabbath albums they pretend don’t exist.

The whole evil/horror schtick was just a theme for the band. I don't think they were trying to start a genre, that's a bunch of BS. They were just a heavy rock band, and a bunch of impressionable kids, critics and promoters blew it out of proportion. To me they are just a great Rock Band!!!❤❤❤

[@TheLordGoat]

Tony is still a practicing warlock, hes just quiet about it. Ozzy rapped about satan in every interview until 1977, and Bill said he couldnt tell the difference between satan and god. They were ALL about it.

[@raymondhartmeijer9300]

The stuff about the ad is partially true. Geezer saw the ad by Ozzy looking for bandmembers, and then he and Geezer were actually in a different band together for a time. Called Rare Breed. Tony and Bill were together at the same time in a band called Mythology. Now it could be Tony also saw the same ad. It was only bc both bands didn't go anywhere they decided the four of them should work together. So Geezer had met Bill in a club, and then introduced him to Tony. Tony then saw Ozzy and thought...oh no... not Osbourne! (source: Geezers autobio)

The original Sabbath lineup is irreplaceable and their output and chemistry timeless, but it must be said that the solo stuff Ozzy was doing after leaving Sabbath was way better than what the rest of the band went on to do without him.

[@Fongolitus]

funny they left out any mention of Dave Walker who was in the group 77/78, David Donato in 84. Jeff Fenholt in 85, Glenn Hughes and Ray Gillen in 86, and those guys were more than just a blip in the bands history, Walker wrote the bulk of the songs on NSD, Fenholt was in the group for 6 months writing and recording the basis for Seventh star, which Hughes was featured on, Gillen was in the group for a year finished the tour in 86, then was around for the writing/recording process which led up the the Eternal Idol album.

[@bobowens3687]

He knows what a lovely man Bill Ward is .He was literally tortured after being the one to tell Ozzy ….you’re out. I bet he did it in the kindest way possible ,but he did know how hypocritical it was when all four of them needed help for addictions .But after all those decades , Ozzy played for the love of his band mates ,but he did say the last time Toni just left at the end of the gig , no hugs ,no goodbyes cut Ozzy big time , if he doesn’t play with Black Sabbath again ,now you know why ……I am rambling ( a little pot) , but that’s ok.
