Check out heavy metal Britannia Bill Ward speaks in this documentary it's on KZbin it's brilliant.. the original Sabbath rules full stop.

[@markhunter8554]

@@JavaEntity Probably because he declined to participate in the reunion album due to a contract dispute, so the band excluded him from the documentary. If so, it was rather petty of them.

what does it mean when the drummer is drooling out of both corners of his mouth? the riser is level.

[@johnnewman8412]

Bill has been at odds with Tony, Geezer and Ozzy for the last few years. His version is that their financial offer to participate in the last album and tour was less than satisfactory. Who knows what the truth is, but it seems strange that he'd turn down the last huge payday he's likely to get. It's a shame because he was always their best drummer.

Seems to me most "serious" Sabbath fans always talk up Dio over Ozzy. I believe quite the opposite. Ozzy is was and will always be THE vocalist that made that band not only great... But a true icon in the rock genre. Dio did not do that... And I don't think he could have done that if he were there in the beginning. "But Dio has this crazy vocal range"... you don't get it... Likely you never will

[@mattsweeny3957]

I agree with you...I HATE when people do that. The were different bands, like Deep Purple with like 6 different line ups...all excellent. No doubt that Dio has a Technically superior vocal range...he was very unique...but ozzy was great in his own way..a Working 💪 man's pub singer versus Dios operatic style.

[@mattsweeny3957]

Also..you get the Ozzy Kool Aid crowd..."Tony Iommi sucks man..Jake E Lee...ZACH Wylde is better...' Jackasses...there would be NO Sabbath, or Ozzy without Tony..The Riff Master...Matt

[@InTheMindOfDavid]

When Tony Iommi recounts what happened to his fingers and how he though he’d never play a guitar again, it’s like he’s putting himself back into that moment in time and how he felt believing his career was over before it had even begun, and is actually feeling what he felt that day and how he actually though he was done for good, and that memory is still a rather emotional one even after all these years the success he’s gained.

Playing guitars 53 y and i know play every song,cord,solo. 3 y I couldn't play because after an operation for tonsillar cancer, my cervical spine weakened and my left hand was squeezed and my left leg was taken away. Those were the hardest years of my life, but they found a cure, my hand opened, and I'm still learning to walk. I can play a little bit, but I hope for better. I beat cancer 7 years ago (prognosis of 3 months to live), so I hear this too because, as the doctor says, you are too young to lie down, and there is also a 20-month-old grandson.

I think he's the most influential guitarist walking the planet (moreso than Jimmy Page) Sabbath started their first two albums in standard tuning and ended the 70's with their last two in standard tuning. It's those albums Master of Reality-Vol4-Sabbath Bloody Sabbath-Sabotage where they would go as low C# that made their sound. If you listen to audience recordings from the early 70s the crowd loses their shit about how heavy the band is. It had to sound like a similar storm that Hendrix brought to the masses only a lot darker.

[@randysnewbiebluesrockguita7782]

I am a guitarist, but I can really appreciate the awesome talent of Bill Ward and Geezer Buttler, they were the power behind sabbath and on par with Jack Bruce and Ginger Baker only IMO heavier and tighter. The Paris show really showed their power and it only got stronger as time went bye. I was introduced to Sabbath when Paranoid came out here in the States and went and bought the first album straight away. They are a huge influence on my playing and the riff's are easy but complicated at the same time, blues shines through all of the early stuff and is the foundation of this great band.

[@MICKEYISLOWD]

As a guitarist myself I played at a very high level skill wise for many many yrs but never understanding music theory...I knew my way around the fretboard very well and could improvise for most blues,rock'n'roll and metal no problems but then my curiosity changed when I went back to my childhood listenings 'my dad playing The Beatles' everyday. I wanted to know what actually made them so revered, even classically trained composers regarded them as the crowning glory for the 20th century for popular music. I then began learning music theory properly. I mention this because in your comment you mention sayin' ''their riffs are easy (simple) but complex at the same time'' and understanding theory will give the answers clearly. All this absolutely applies to The Beatles also as their songs are rather quite derived from the chord shapes and templates they often used however their melodies are sublime and fresh, so much so their music is regarded as 'all time greats' along with the other all time greats such as Bach, Mozart, Beethoven, Wagner from previous centuries. Learning music theory has been the most rewarding pathway I had ever taken in my musical journey and I just sensed if you was to really dig into theory you would feel the same way when you listen you 'hear' the music from a secondary perspective and understand why a piece of music was brilliantly written even if you don't really like or dig this or that particular song. It also opened every door to me to know just by changing a chord here or there much more possibilities are available to you as you are writing songs. You may be already well versed in theory so I am not sayin' you need anything adding to your skill set whatsoever it is just theory has been the biggest blessing to me in music and you never really learn it all, it just gives me so much more options knowing what will work and when and where to introduce a new chord or to develop better melody ect...

Great documentary. I didn't grow up as a Sabbath fan.. It was more the Stones, the Who, and punk later on for me. But hearing here what these guys say about their music, their playing, and how they arrived at their sound - I feel enormous respect for them. They had no limitations, they accepted no rules on what they did, they were just as every bit musically anarchist as the Sex Pistols were a bit later on. No one before them were doing quite what they were doing and they weren't following anyone else's road map on how a rock band should sound, which made them pioneers ... and now we're well in the 21st century that kind of courage and willingness to sound different is sorely missed. Respect.

Sabbath may have kicked off Heavy Metal, but they are better and different than any other Metal band. Their heavy grounding in blues and jazz sets them way apart.

25:30 - Tony Iommi can get some of the most amazing overtones from his gear-not just the guitars. Not sure how he does it, but I can listen to THIS riff from Heaven and Hell and the bridge chords from Iron Man and it sends the neck hair standin' STRAIGHT UP!

[@Notamember8556]

When they first came,me as a teenager knew instantly this was not music for the older generation. This was ours. No guitar really previously had ever been pushed ,purposefully to the absolute abyss of distortion. You had fuzztone a la Satisfaction but the whole album Master of Reality, really never been done. There was like this turn it up fuzz solo thing then back to normal rhythm sound. As a guitar player in 71 for me this back and forth dilemma went on for years beyond as well. Do I keep my amp clean turn on the fuzz , distotion obviously didn’t exist at first. Or crank my amp full which generally got ya fired by the band or club owners. This whole era unfortunately is mostly not clear to people who weren’t playing at this time. No preamps, turn a twin too 10 and you’ll soon find a boot in your ass in those days man.

Thanks for putting this together - it's well done, lot of stuff I hadn't seen or heard. Coke had a deleterious effect on the music, you can hear they're playing too fast live with no feeling. Still, you can understand why they did coke, they got worked hard by the record companies & managers & needed something to keep going. Course you then need to drink to take the edge off and end up on a downward spiral. Bill ward was & is overlooked as a drummer, as is/was Tony Iommi as a guitarist. Same goes for Geezer, his bass playing is easily ion a par with Jack Bruce but he doesn't get browny points on account of not playing Jazz. You try playing as fast and accurately as Geezer on the bass & you'll appreciate how good he was. The first two LP's are outstanding in terms of musicianship, Geezer and Bill were a dynamite rhythm combo like Noel Reading and Mitch Mitchell. No one came close to early Sabbath, there's lots of similar bands, Grand Funk, Mountain, Steppenwolf , but none have Sabbath's inventiveness, musicality or spirit. Lastly just about every song on every LP is fucking spot on, most bands could manage two decent songs in comparison. Sorry, on a bit of a rant there... just think Black Sabbath don't get the credit they deserve as musicians.Thanks for uploading....DA.

The original metal guitar player iommi I would rate as the most important metal guitar player of all times not because he is technically better my reasoning is there is not one giant metal band in the world that hasn't ripped him off at some point from slayer to Metallica

[@Synathidy]

It's not what you CAN play that makes you great. It's what you CHOOSE to play. Iommi's inspiration is what made him great. He had it inside him to write great songs that provided the music medium something pretty new and innovative. That's gold for musicians, at least those who are artists in the creative sense. All I know is that it took incredibly creative individuals to write "Black Sabbath" in 1970. It stands out of the music from that time like a menacing stone spire rising out of a forest. Bands like Zeppelin were unique too, but that tritone evil stuff was on another level for the time. So important.

I feel Tony's pain about losing his finger tips. I just about lost both hands on a pipeline job. I didn't get hurt but it was so close!!!

[@DrJ-hx7wv]

I think he has constant pain from it.

When the hell am I going to get tired of watching Black Sabbath docs? I've watched I think all of them, and I got shit I gotta get done, but what are you gonna do... I mean, it's fuckin Sabbath

[@tomb8430]

I'm a guitarist - guitarists will hate this, but Geezer is the absolute star player in this band.

[@markb.8756]

His bass lines were iconic, particularly on the first three albums. The foundation he and Ward laid down for Iommi to build on was ten stories deep.

[@younggrinch2826]

[@zigmonger6646]

Hate it no..... you're, as a guitarist, obviously jealous/envious of Tony. Of course Geezer is exceptional but when you say that he is the absolute star of the band that suggests you are saying the others are mediocre at best. That you're a guitar player is irrelevant anyway because no one pays much attention to the opinion of guitarists whose last gig was the corner lemonade stand yesterday

[@tomb8430]

@@zigmonger6646 Yes me as a guitar player is irrelevant, but for the reader who see my comment, is shows my view through the lens of a guitarist. I don't gush over guitarists like a school-girl over the beatles, I just say it as I see it from my point of view. You sound like a gushing schoolgirl. Iomi is "ok", but I wouldn't class him even in the top 50 guitarists of all time, and yes, I have seen buskers with seemingly more talent. Get a grip. I still stand by my statement. Geezer is the star player in this band.

[@zigmonger6646]

@@tomb8430 whatever it's all relative to the individual anyway my point is you don't have to put others down just to build someone else up... and basically that's what your comment does. For you to construe my comment the way you did, the whole schoolgirl thing, suggests a inferior grasp of the English language ... so I won't bother

Love seeing documentaries with accounts from actually band members (as opposed to journalists/managers/friends which I find so boring)

Ozzy is a wild man bro! What a band! Thanks for bringing so much exelent music to earth, BLACK SABBATH.

[@UberLummox]

@42:02 The creativity stalled writing in L.A. for Sabbath Bloody Sabbath until moving the band back to Wales in an ancient Welsh castle. Yeah, that sounds about right!

[@58maple]

What kind of "full music" documentary is this? Sabatoge wasn't even mentioned, and it's one of their greatest albums.

[@bisonsword4536]

Sabatoge … a molten metal album of intense perfection which must not be overlooked or underloved by anyone or any thing. And before the dogs and wankers even have to ask … "Are we going insane ? " No. We have arrived. HA! ...everybody here must blow on a jug …

[@cxcmb]

it's the unedited FULL LENGTH DOCUMENTARY, not a full discography. please learn how to comprehend words. i weep that they didn't mention your album, i weep more for the american educational system.

[@borislonic4476]

In strictly musical terms, Dio was a much better technical singer than Ozzy. He had more vocal range and could sustain/ hold notes using vibrato. He was also an excellent lyricist. Ozzy on the other hand, had more of an ability to connect with the audience on a personal level, both on albums and during live performances. For this reason alone, I prefer the Mark 1 lineup and Ozzy's solo work over the Mark 2 & 3 lineups and Dio's solo material. Dio was a better singer. Ozzy was a better performer.

[@DrJ-hx7wv]

Maybe. Dio is a true singer, not just a vocalist. Ozzys image was crafted better than Dios, not that he would care. I've never been an Ozzy fan, but I love his Sabbath albums.

[@zigmonger6646]

I thought dio's lyrics were horrible. No one tells me the moon is just the Sun at night or the world is full of kings and queens .. if they did I'd tell them to go to hell and bugger off!!!

[@iggy9955]

Bibinjac tebi je Dio bolji od Ozzija? Pjevač je ali u prvom pravom Sabbathu je Ozzy nezamjenjiv. Njegova uloga je velika. Da je od početka bija koji drugi pjevać vjerojatno bi Ozzy bio factory man. Ili mrtav odavno a Dio bi i ovako i onako gradio karijeru. Ali.prvi - pravi Sabbath bez Ozzija je ništa. Ozzy je legenda koju Dio nikad nije dohvatio. OZZY UVIJEK.
