The Sex Pistols or The Monkees

[@devingiles6597]

Hey, Mr. Beat. You should definitely do a brief history of Daft Punk! They were known for their best dance hits such as Around the World, One More Time, Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger, Revolution 909, Get Lucky (feat. Pharrel Williams), etc. Please do a video on them. OK?

Black Sabbath are just one of those bands nobody can hate. Amazing musicians, but never became full of themselves. They always stayed the same working class lads who stuck to their humble roots and yet always developed musically, and that’s why I love them so much: they helped give a voice to people like me.

[@mattbeatgoeson]

You nailed it on the head with that analysis.

[@MintyCoffee]

Ehh, Ozzy got full of himself. Though his solo career is astounding, you can't deny his own ideas and ego were a big part of what drove him away, drugs aside. His attitude about Dio was honestly disgusting.

[@Jipwell]

@@MintyCoffee I do love Dio and I am very aware that Ozzy disliked him and felt insecure, but I think that since Ozzy got sober he’s been a really cool bloke

[@calebthemusicjunkie]

​@@Jipwell I gotta agree with you on that one

This is the best Sabbath documentary I've seen yet. Almost nobody ever goes beyond the Ozzy albums, you're lucky if they even mention Dio. Iommi rules.

[@mattbeatgoeson]

Thank you. Iommi definitely deserves more credit!

It's only Black Sabbath when *all four* original members are there. *Together, it's Ward Osbourne Butler Iommi who form the band* Black Sabbath. Iommi can't do it alone. No combination of any three of them can do it without th fourth. Sabbath is the Product Of *Those Four* Dudes.

It's amazing how much Tony believed in Black Sabbath especially in that era when band members are always coming and going, he stuck around. He inspired me to play the guitar

[@DiamondKingStudios]

I find it fascinating that Tony could play the guitar rather well without the use of some of his fingers, much like Django Reinhardt before him. I’m fairly certain Reinhardt probably inspired him in his musical career (and also Jerry Garcia from here in the States).

[@sydguitar99]

[@thedinkster5772]

Been waiting for this episode forever since Black Sabbath is one of my favorite bands. This did not disappoint. Great job!

[@Malegys]

Sabbath only started down-tuning on their THIRD album "masters of Reality" in 1971. From 1968 to 1971 & from 1976 to 1979, they were tuned to E standard. Geezer was also originally a guitarist & only first played bass when he joined Sabs.

[@domtursich8191]

Ya I thought that was so. Didn't he just start out using very light strings?

@@domtursich8191 Banjo strings, because the gauge he really wanted (0.08-0.38) didn't exist back then.

Thanks!

[@alynam82]

This was soooo cool -- thanks for the history of my favorite band! I became a fan back in 99 when I went to my first Ozzfest and the original Black Sabbath played -- one of the best show/festival I've ever been to. Since then, I made Ozzfest my annual summer tradition and started buying their music. I was only a casual Ozzy fan, but it was Sabbath that plunged me into Fandom. I'll be honest, I didn't really care for non-Ozz records, so most of this video was news to me. I knew Dio sang for Heaven and Hell, but that was about all I knew... I didn't realize how many times this band changed their diapers, lol

[@mattbeatgoeson]

Yeah the lineup changes were out of control, but Iommi was the biggest genius behind the band, in my opinion, so as long as he was around I get why they kept the Sabbath name. Thanks for the kind words!

[@crusherbmx]

You are a hero for covering the post Ozzy years in such detail! The research must have been exhausting.

[@Louis-qi1gz]

SO maybe you can tell me why Randy Rhoades wasn't even talked about ? ?? please let me know 👌

[@Squiddytainment]

Really nailed it with this one, but there a few things not mentioned that really add more to the story. - Tony Iommi was involved in an industrial accident at 17 that cut the tips of his fingers off. Because of this, he created "thimbles" that very much impacted his guitar sound. - Dio didn't leave just to start his solo career, he left due to a massive falling out regarding the band's "Live Evil" album. He was accused of tampering with the mix to make his vocals louder. Whether or not this actually happened is unclear, as everyone gives different accounts. - "Born Again" was not intended to be a Black Sabbath album, but they were forced to use the Black Sabbath name when it came time to release it.

[@alexthomson2248]

Born Again was always a Sabbath album, I think you’re referring to Seventh Star?

[@dudeman5303]

DUDE THE FACT YOU SAID NEVER SAY DIE IS THEIR MOST UNDERRATED ALBUM IS SO SPOT ON!!! THANK YOU, I FEEL SO VALIDATED. Tbh, ive felt like thats been my fav sabbath album for a long time now, i also felt very validated when i found out it was kim thayil's favorite sabbath album (im a huge soundgarden fan).

Gonna tell you something: This is the best video about Sabbath's history I ever watched.

[@iambodybuildingyt221]

I really wish Dio would have stayed in Black Saabath for another 2 or 3 years in the 80s as I truly believe some of the greatest songs of all time such as Neon Knights, Die Young, and Heaven and Hell were recorded during the time he was in the band. Just imagine all the other cool material they could have come up with if they had stuck together even a just year longer... 😢 rip Dio

[@JazzzRockFuzion]

Heaven and Hell & Mob Rules are my fav Sabbath albums by a country mile - everything Dio touched turned to gold, and Sabbath was no exception!

[@Maxaldojo]

Knocked another one out of the park, Mr. Beat! This was a fascinating and entertaining view into an Iconic and groundbreaking band. The genesis (oh, would love, love, love a Genesis video!!!) of the heavy metal genre was so simple and subtle and yet it launched a loud and strong movement that continues to this day. Thanks for another amazing video. My (second, and in no particular order) band suggestion is (We are) Rush! I remember a concert at the Northfield Coliseum (southeast of Cleveland, Ohio) when Geddy (rumor has it as originally Gerry, but his grandma pronounced it Geddy and it stuck) was just learning the keyboard and he only played a few simple cords... Just a thought!

[@timothymallon]

Master Of Reality has always been my favorite Sabbath album. It was also the first Sabbath album I ever heard. I was blown away...even as an impressionable 9 year old.

One of my favorite small details about the band is the fact that the song Black Sabbath is triple titled, it'll show up as "Black Sabbath" by Black Sabbath on the album Black Sabbath. Also, the weird part about the song Iron Man is the fact that there is a sort of disagreement online, some say that it's based on the Marvel character and some say it's based on a British children's book.

I’m Canadian, and I’m a avid music enthusiast, and as a 54 year old I’ve come across many outstanding bands that just had that special sound and they were brave enough to change music, Black Sabbath is definitely one of those bands, they created a whole new genre of music, , In my opinion the absolute best music has always come from England, so many bands have set a new standard and sound that influenced American and Canadian music, Such bands like The Who, The Beatles , Rolling Stones, and because of my age, my most favourite, Joy Division and The Smiths, I Know, I Know, I included joy division and the smiths, a completely different genre of music, but my point is that without England, music wouldn’t be the same, the English have started every trend and style of music that we listen to today. I will admit that America invented rock and roll, but it’s the English that took it to a new level and perfected it.

[@Andyanddiana467]

Fun fact: Iommi reunited the Mob Rules lineup with Butler, Dio, and Appice in the late aughts and called the band Heaven and Hell. They put out a killer live record of their show from Radio City, and released an awesome album called the Devil you Know before Dio’s untimely death in 2010.

[@UndergroundSkat2000]

The original title of the Paranoid album was going to be "War Pigs". It makes sense considering the cover art shows a pig dressed in armor swinging a sword. The original title of "War Pigs" was "Walpurgis", which had alternate lyrics than the famous War Pigs version we hear all the time. The demo on the Ozzman Cometh compilation album, recorded as rehearsal in an empty auditorium, has these original darker lyrics. It has the Black Sabbath sound in it's purest murkiest form
