Imagine this song in 1970. It might as well have come from Mars. Absolutely no one sounded Black Sabbath. For me the greatest, most influential band in heavy metal history.

[@rustinpeace770]

Budgie. They were just as heavy as black sabbath. (Okay maybe not just as but definitely close)

[@petrilampela]

I always thought the first real metal riff was "21st Century Schizoid Man" but it had horns and the proggy section so I can see why it wasn't considered as a heavy metal song.

[@constantine721]

Crazy how you mention that it might as well have come from Mars. Because the bassist who wrote this song says his influence for this song was a classical song by Gustav Holst called “Mars”. Love the connection you made

[@rickbailey-ty8bq]

It's not really that amazing, they were playing those songs every day. They were very well rehearsed. Also, they only had enough money for one day of recording, and a second day for mixing. They had to get it done quick.

[@Stefan-]

@@rickbailey-ty8bq It can of course be done and has been done many times but by todays standards when people often take a long time recording and mixing it is nothing really. When i recorded an album in the 90´s (recording to 24 track tape) with my band at the time we recorded it in a work week so about 40 hours and mixed for about 40 additional hours the second week and that was a VERY pressed schedule and we were very prepared but we recorded alll the instruments separately so that takes a lot longer time. From what i remember Iommi himself saying in an interview they were actually given 2 days for just the recording but they misinterpreted that and thought it was 2 days including mixing so they worked with that in mind, 12 hours is really 1.5 work days also so its not really just one day in that sense.

[@scambammer6102]

Nobody called this "doom metal" when it came out. It was just called "metal" or "heavy metal". everyone called it that. this was the beginning of metal right here. All the sub genres came later.

Yeah but Today's it's regarded as the first official Doom Metal song. Blue Cheer's Summertime Blues pre-dates Sabbath and many regard that song as being the first Stoner Metal song.

Terrance "Geezer" Butler was brought up in a very religious household and wanted to go into the clergy when he was a boy. They all wear a cross when they perform and still do to this day. If you listen to the song "After Forever" you can hear what they really think about religion. They had a gig once across from a movie theater that was showing horror movies. They had realized at some that horror movies were big box office money. They decided to write "horror music" for the same reason.

Great reaction! Black Sabbath: 8 sacred albums released in the 70s: the biggest band in the history of Heavy Metal...After this, Ozzy Osbourne began his successful solo career in the early 80s with two masterful albums: Blizzard of Ozz (1980) and Diary of a Madman (1981), both with the phenomenal guitarist, the genius Randy Rhoads. Ozzy's voice: unique, impressive timbre, a living legend...Immortal...And, after Ozzy left the band, Black Sabbath continued to release excellent albums with the following exceptional vocalists: Ronnie James Dio, Ian Gillan, Glenn Hughes, Tony Martin...And, for me, the Grand Master, when talking about the greatest band in the history of Heavy Metal, a band that even created Metal: Tony Iommi. This is an alien that is a million light years away in every way. Many people say that he is the greatest in terms of guitar riffs, but, in reality, Tony Iommi is the greatest in terms of everything: riffs, composition, arrangements, creativity, musical boldness, avant-garde, musical grandeur, timbres, effects, etc, etc, etc...I made a special highlight for Ozzy Osbourne and the Grand Master, Tony Iommi. But I can't forget to mention the other 2 geniuses who were part of the masterful and unforgettable Sabbath of the 70s: bassist Geezer Butler and drummer Bill Ward...

[@andrewpardue3324]

So many people forget about the Born Again album but I always loved it ! 🤘🏻because it was different. Cool album that you just don’t hear very often.

[@michaelrichter9427]

Tony and Geezer together made Sabbath what it was. You can't have Iommi's sounds without a solid foundation and nobody supplied foundation like Butler. If either of those two hadn't been in the band, Sabbath as we know it would never have happened.

[@fabiolignelli7372]

OK, even so, Tony Iommi is the Grand Master guiding everything related to Black Sabbath, even though Ozzy, Butler and Ward are, and are in fact, other "sacred monsters". Fact.

[@TheDeadStretch]

Stoner Metal is basically an off shoot of Doom Metal with a heavy emphasis psychedelic and acid rock. Notable Bands: Fu Manchu Kyuss Saint Vitus Down (A Supergroup with Phil Anselmo on vocals, Kirk Windstein from Crowbar on Guitar, Pepper Keenan from Corrosion of Conformity on Guitar, Jimmy Bower from Eyehategod on Drums (Plays Guitar in EHG), Rex Brown was the original Bassist, and Pat Bruders currently on Bass from Goatwhore and Crowbar previously.) Mastodon The Sword Red Fang Truckfighters 1000mods Doom Metal, Stoner Metal and Stoner Rock all overlap but the main differences comes down to tempo, song structure and tunings. Doom Metal is typically tuned to C# and lower though that's not a definite.

[@91GT347]

Sometime when your bored, theres an album on here you should skim through. Im curious on your opinion. Its old and recorded locally. So quality is less than perfect, but its 1993. Lol Its not me. So be as critical as you like. I just knew them. Internal Void: Standing on the Sun

[@Wagoo]

Good summary. It should be noted there is also the UK originated Doom Metal genre pioneered by bands like Paradise Lost, My Dying Bride and Anathema.. which is a much more melancholic sound and is different style to the doom bands mentioned above

[@Huddle_House56]

Doom metal can also be less groovy and more purely about the slow tempo.

[@TheDeadStretch]

@@Wagoo Well technically I didn't mention any Doom metal bands. lmao ;)

[@christiankoll1528]

I thought the original bassists from Down was Todd Strange from Crowbar. Then Rex on Down II. But I think the biggest difference between stoner and doom is purely subject matter and imagery. I'd argue that most stoner bands are doom bands and vice versa, the terms aren't mutually exclusive. Kinda like how Down is stoner band, and a sludge band, and a doom band, and a groove band.... bands can be more than 1 thing.

[@UpTheIrons51510]

First stoner metal song also originates from Black Sabbath - “Sweet Leaf” off the third album, Master of Reality 1971. Good question about stoner vs groove metal. They definitely blend together often especially sonically so it can sometimes come down to the lyrics. Stoner metal is usually drug/fantasy theme. Doom + psychedelic rock. Sludge = Doom + Punk. I’m sure you could come up with formulas like this for all the sub genres.

[@captinmorgon3699]

Black Sabbath's debut album was a seismic shift in the music landscape, birthing heavy metal as we know it. Their fusion of blues, rock, and classical influences created a sound that was entirely new and groundbreaking for its time. While their music might not fit neatly into one category, their impact on shaping metal is undeniable. The band's ability to create an ominous, haunting atmosphere owes much to their classical inspirations, notably Gustav Holst's 'The Planets,' particularly evident in 'Mars, the Bringer of War.' Meanwhile, their blues roots provided a raw, emotive foundation for their heavy sound. Regarding the jazz influence, while Bill Ward's drumming was jazz-inspired, Black Sabbath's music wasn't explicitly jazz. Instead, it reflected a diverse range of inspirations that coalesced into something entirely original.

[@ChicTumshy]

I really like your approach and especially your sense of humour. Tony Iommi lost the tips of 2 fingers which included the bones, in an industrial accident. This obviously devastated him and he thought playing the guitar for him was over. The factory foreman paid him a visit bearing a gift (a record) Tony was initially reluctant even to listen to it. The foreman pointed out that the guitarist on the Django Reinhardt record had just two fingers, yet he could still play the guitar masterfully. This ignited a spark within Tony and even though the loss of his fingertips presented an obvious obstacle, he was determined to find a way to overcome it. After many attempts to cover these fingertips with various materials he eventually made covers of leather from an old jacket and adjusted his style to suit. What an achievement! As a youngster in the seventies Sabbath were my fav band and I still like to visit their stuff now and again. Have a wee listen to 'Changes' which was written by Geezer Butler when he split from his wife. If you have ever felt low and depressed you will appreciate this song. It shows another side to Sabbath. Please don't select the 'Changes' Ozzy recorded with his daughter, it's not good at all. Have fun. Sabbath Changes link: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aWGUlWmOa7qfqsk

Richard, how did u ever get Judson - Great Measures (it makes me chuckle when he says that) - to agree to ANY of this?

[@Greatmeasures]

Honestly, he didn’t know what a reaction channel was when I asked him if he’d be interested. The idea came to me while we were on the phone with each other about 2 months ago. He’s been pleasantly surprised at how much he’s enjoyed it. We’re having a blast doing it.

Stoner metal gods are Monster Magnet and Kyuss. Take a hit and catch a groove.

You've gotta do After Forever

Hey guys! Have you thought of checking out some Devin Townsend -stuff? Why? would be the perfect song...

[@patbau96]

I hope he checked out Mule Variations

[@nik2957]

Check out the bands Sleep and OM for something like stoner metal. They are really cool.

[@Bricklinsv1970]

Fing funny man! Please do some Old Testament any song will do!

I'd love to see a reaction to Tigran Hamasyan

[@innosanto]

The most influential band together with the Beatles.

This must have been scary music back then. The year i was born. Long time ago, eh. And yes, it still got that something, haunting, mesmerising feel. Unique, that´s the word. As you two, are. What next from Sabbath ? Don´t really know, surprise me.

[@Greatmeasures]

Still trying to figure out the next move for Sabbath. Part of me wants to go chronologically with the albums, but the other part of me wants to mix it up.

@@Greatmeasures Jump right to the last one, 13 !? Thete are a couple of very decent songs and decades between this and that. Would be interesting comparison. God Is Dead, nearly 9 minutes of class.
