The Master Tony Iommi creating another masterpiece. Everything heavy is based on what he did. Even James Hetlfield was inspired by listening to his older brother's Black Sabbath albums as a kid.

I would strongly suggest that the members of Deep Purple - especially Jon Lord and Ritchie Blackmore - created original music that helped create the Heavy Metal sound and much that followed has also been heavily influenced by what they did.

[@chrisdodds6657]

Why was this fast forwarded? That's shameful

[@tonysimmons5729]

Its easy to loose perspective about Sabbath because so much Metal has been recorded by 2022, but NOBODY was doing this when they did. Pretty much ever 70’s Sabbath track inspired a different genre of Metal that exists today. They are the first, the seminal purveyors of Metal history, and they did it by adding a ton of volume to jazzy, bluesy, musicality. The rhythm section of Ward and Butler really swings and they were much more subtle and nuanced than people who just generalized their sound. You two are getting a great example of Sabbath today! 💫

[@B0110-x3d]

Gotta do Megalomania from the same album. Brilliant

You can't go wrong with anything from the first six Sabbath albums. Sabotage, the album this song is from, was their sixth album. Most heavy metal that appeared in the 80s and beyond is indebted to Sabbath.

this would be my first intro to Sabbath so well done, I know plenty people would pink something else but this is the ultimate Sabbath song for me... PS love the RUSH shirt, major rush-head here

[@jimled50jl49]

Black Sabbath will be quite a rabbit hole - They even had Ian Gillan on vocals after Ozzy left....but for me personally, when Ronnie James Dio joined the group, the entire dynamics changed with the incredible album "Heaven and Hell" - Listen to the title track. It's soooo good !!!! - Don't get me wrong - I love Ozzy. As well as Black Sabbath I have all of Ozzy's solo albums. He is a legend and I love him dearly, but when it seemed Black Sabbath were coming to the end of the road - along came Dio and they hit the stratosphere ! What a comeback !!!!!! Great reaction to a brilliant track. Here's to many more !

[@walkingwounded3824]

And Ozzy was resurrected, best for everybody!

[@FloatingAnarchy61]

People tend to fall into the Ozzy or Dio camp. I agree though, I like both versions. Heaven And Hell is a great album, the title track, Neon Knights, Children Of The Sea (always thought the start of it sounds a bit like Hotel California). In fact the first time I saw them was on the Mob Rules tour in 1982 at Hammersmith Odeon. I'd also seen Ozzy a few times previously, including the legendary Heavy Metal Holocaust in Port Vale in 1981 with Motorhead amongst others. Sabbath were originally supposed to play but pulled out. Cue lots of jokes about Sabbath from Ozzy, including they were now known as Geezer Butler and the four Italians (Vinnie Appice was Sabbath's drummer at the time. I was lucky enough to see Randy Rhoads with Ozzy twice in a matter of months. I also unfortunately saw Sabbath at Reading Festival in 1983 with Gillan. They were appalling, Gillan just wasn't right for them. They had the famous Stonehenge stage set which was the inspiration for that famous scene in Spinal Tap, albeit Sabbath's version wasn't quite so underwhelming. They even did an awful Sabbed up version of Smoke On The Water, Gillan even got his fucking bongos out at one point. Finally got to see them on the 13 tour with Ozzy a few years back. Wasn't expecting much but it was absolutely phenomenal. Bonus was it was in Birmingham as well, so being a honetown gig, there was a really celebratory atmosphere.

[@FloatingAnarchy61]

@@jimled50jl49 Yeah definitely a sad loss. He could shred with the best of them, but also had a subtlety to his playing. The Reading festival I mentioned had The Stranglers as the Friday headliners and Thin Lizzy on the sunday (their last show in the UK with Phil Lynott). Stevie Ray Vaughan was also there as well, buried in an afternoon slot. I was roo young to appreciate him at the time, and well, it was,nearly 40 years ago. It was quite an eclectic bill over the three days as well with the likes of Big Country, and Marillion as well. The only disappointment really was Steel Pulse (really good reggae band back in the day), getting bottled off without having the chance to play a note. Rock crowds could be a bit conservative and reactionary back in the day. Hands down though the best live performer I've ever seen is Prince (Hop Farm 2011). Absolutely stunning performance and I'm not a huge fan. Played for over 3 hours but it seemed to go by in a flash. The best guitarist I've ever seen (and I've seen few). Closely followed by Neil Young, seen him four times and he's,never been less than brilliant.

[@timothywills7709]

The greatest - Tony Iommi! The man invented a style of music by himself. I had the album when I was 15! What a riff!!!

[@martintayler23]

Nick & Lex, this song is supposed to be what the 'thrash metal' genre is based on; a driving beat, with a repetitive guitar riff of Iommi's underlying Butler's great bass. However, Bill's drumming is incredible on this piece of music and the lyrics, supposedly about birth and the generations to continue, the emotion of birth and sadness of the creator are one of Geezer's greatest compositions. But what makes this song so unique is the outro and the superb acoustic guitar combined with what I think are Ozzy's best vocals because I can hear the emotion in his voice. Please explore more Black Sabbath....and Happy New Year to you both!

[@jeppyjep]

Dont forget the most important thrash metal element; a chunky palm muted riff followed by a big and long chords. Its amazing how Sabbath managed to created this song in 75. The only thing that hold this song from being recognized as thrash metal is the tone. The tone is not super distorted due to the limitation at the time, but when you hear the Sepultura cover, its clear that this song is thrash metal.

I realise that my opinion is shared by very few, but I don't care: Sabotage was the best Ozzy era Sabbath album. After the experimental approach of Sabbath Bloody Sabbath, the band realised that they needed a proper heavy metal record, and the result was stunning. The songs are progressive, the production is superb and Ozzy's voice is phenomenal--he never sang that well before, and he never sang as well ever again. I urge you to listen to the rest of the album, and find out for yourselves. \m/ \m/

[@rikconverse8726]

Tony Iommi is an amazing guitarist - the second half of this song is much like "It's Alright" off the "Technical Ecstacy" album. I think you're enjoy that as well! Tony is a left handed guitarist that started out as a right handed guitarist with Jethro Tull (pre record contracts) until an accident cut off part of his finger and he had to re-learn how to play as a lefty!

[@mikeg.4211]

Actually, he has always been a lefty, and the problem was that the injury occurred on his fretting (right) hand, which is what made things so difficult for him. He had to learn to play through the pain and with homemade prosthetic fingertips. It was suggested to him at the time that he try to learn to play righty, but that was too hard at that point.

[@progger53]

Bill Ward saying lead on that wasn't he?

[@mikeg.4211]

This classic was from their 1975 album Sabotage. This song is generally considered to be the birth of thrash. Iommi not only created great riffs, he created whole genres.

The critics used to love to trash Black Sabbath. This is further proof that they rarely know what they're talking about, just their self-serving snobbery.

I didn't really have a music collection to speak of until I was in my mid 20's.

[@mvunit3]

I thought about that for years . . . WHY? I think they didn't get the point of "Riffs", just straight chords instead of playing intricately (or 4-bar blues) carrying the rhythm or groove, and then when bands played intricately like soo many Progressive Rock bands, they hated that too :P. They were all stuck in the 1960's, especially Rolling Stone mag, they even trashed Zeppelin, its like they couldn't make-up their minds or just didn't want to be challenged. They needed "formula". Your story is pretty much mine as well, I was just starting my collection at about 19 in 1982.
