I will have to try listening to this later. I am intrigued in what they have to say.

[@NanoDex]

That first album is a masterpiece. It sounds incredibly good on a proper system. I am blown away to hear 2 days to make it.

[@RickGibbonsOfficial]

Best production on any rock/metal album ever. Some of those sounds of those instruments are so LIVE and tasty.

[@sundaynightdrunk]

Record companies were notoriously cheap back then with studio time. Many great albums were recorded really quickly.

[@sesto194]

the first 6 albums all are masterpieces, especially SABOTAGE!!!

[@marks8432]

@@sesto194 yep it's so impressive for a band to have their first six albums as good as theirs were.

I read somewhere that they actually recorded all of the tracks in 10 hours 😮

I think Phil Anselmo said it best when Pantera opened for Black Sabbath in 1999. “If Pantera are the kings of metal, you all are about to hear God”. 🤘🏻

[@sinbysin666]

Pantera are kings of the trailer park

[@sleepingninjaquiettime]

@@sinbysin666 yes they are, but they're also the kings of the metal

[@Glamosapien]

@@sleepingninjaquiettime nah if theres a kiing of metal it’s probably dio, sabbath are the godfathers and Judas Priest are the metal gods. This is pretty much how metal history has already come to remember then . And its rightfully deserved . Id say that judas priest deserve more credit than they get in most discussions.

I love how Howard actually knows how to keep sibilance and plosives from coming into his mic. Those Neumanns are designed to capture the vocals crystal clear and pristine no matter what axis you're hitting it from. Something as simple as that is truly appreciated and never goes unnoticed from a sound engineer perspective

They getting ripped off by those in charge was so prevalent the question begs; 'How do you sleep at night when the demons come.' The answer; They (without missing a beat) say they sleep just fine. Would've liked to see Ozzy bite the head off a lawyer instead.

[@daledenton7296]

I saw black sabbath in 2004 at ozzfest it was awesome that they were all still alive. Ozzy was great that night too. It was in Colorado and ozzy usually had a hard time with the altitude but he put on a great show that night

[@CorSmit]

Geezer keeps saying, “The four of us”, in regards to the 13 album - making it sound like the original band was working together again. But drummer Bill Ward was never involved in those sessions. Poor Bill always draws the short end of the (drum)stick.

[@bennybonilla2864]

God if they only did one more show with him… it won’t but imagine

[@owlbelieveit6811]

How did Ward get the short end? I thought he declined on rejoining and working on 13. Age related I think?

[@KRS2000]

A few different stories have been tossed around. One of which was related to Bills health. He eventually had another heart "episode" 2 or 3 years ago (probably a little longer than that). I think they were concerned about his health and well-being, but thanks to social media, things get changed around and it becomes something else.

[@henrydycha3738]
