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.

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.

@@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.

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! 💫

Paranoid, Sabbath Bloody Sabbath and Sabotage represent the pinnacle of the discography

Hey Nick N Lex, these guys are an awesome listen. You should dig into them for sure. Into The Void and After Forever are two excellent songs. Glad you like the 1975 thrash by Sabbath. Keep up the good work.

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!

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.

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!

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.

Other tracks I would suggest are “Children of the Grave”, “Snowblind”, or “Sabbath Bloody Sabbath” but you really can’t go wrong with any song up to and including the Sabotage album. For their next era with Ronnie James Dio, check out “Children of the Sea” (or anything else from Heaven and Hell or Mob Rules). Thanks for the great video as always! 🤘🤘

Sabbath is dark and awesome!! For the listeners if you haven’t heard the Sepultura cover of this tune, you really are missing out on some just solid guitar and drums. Crazy speed metal good.

This song reminds me of early 80s British heavy metal in some ways and perhaps this was the prototype, great pick!

This was my first Sabbath LP at age 15 in 1975 so this is an excellent choice.. super heavy. The Sabotage album has numerous great tunes.. "Hole In the Sky", " Megalomania ", "The Writ", and "The Thrill of It All " are all worth checking out..

The Sabbath Bloody Sabbath and Sabotage albums are the most proggy of their output, but the first 6 albums are amazing.

This is a spectacular song. The beginnings of thrash metal, and then that soulful jazzy 2nd part, with Ozzy singing blues! It doesn't get better than this. Now Nick & Lex you simply must thoroughly explore Black Sabbath, starting with their first album. The song Black Sabbath, Warning/A Little Bit of Finger, The Wizard, and N.I.B.- but with N.i.B. you must hear it like it was on the album.

I've been a Black Sabbath fan since 1972, and they've been my favorite band for fifth years.

Between 1970 and 1978 the four original members of Black Sabbath produced eight studio albums, all stand alone works of art. Check out their first self titled album, it'll change your perception. I first heard it in 1970 when I was 9 years old, it changed my life.

Well, for awhile this was my fave Sabbath album of the Ozzy era (between this and "Masters of Reality"). One of my fave tracks too. This was a HUGE influence for Thrash, because of the opening riffs and the repetition through the song. Bassist Geezer Butler is sometimes an unsung hero of Sabb along with Iommi's riffage. And Bill Ward tearing it up on the drums! But! . . . . I think its time to discover the *Ronnie James Dio* era of Sabbath (and the source of where the \m/ \m/ gestures come from). Please see the the email Reaction Suggestions from Box II (and Dio with *Rainbow* ) from the "Heaven and Hell" and "Mob Rules" albums (that were both FINALLY remastered). I was LATE on Sabbath as well. At a family party, I was in a living room of a family member who had a stack of Lp's, and in it was a interesting cover with intriguing typography, it said; "Black Sabbath - We Sold Our Souls to Rock 'n Roll". Never heard 1 track, until I heard "Iron Man", "War Pigs", "Paranoid" about a decade later on a FM station. By the time I started delving into them, Ozzy was fired and replaced by Dio. It was like discovering Rainbow during the Graham Bonnet era, and going backwards in their catalogue. And getting to know more of the Ozzy era of Sabbath. Nick, you'll be pleasantly surprised to hear more Acoustic Guitar and a more Medieval and Baroque sound. - And a BIG hug for Marley, bless his little grunt :). #nicknlexrequest

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

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. It took me until after I graduated high school to get into the middle-later Sabbath, as obviously it wasn't as readily available (as now) if you weren't flush with cash. I didn't really have a music collection to speak of until I was in my mid 20's.

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.

Before Tony chopped his finger tips off one of his guitar heroes was Django Reinhardt. If the accident hadn't caused him to downtune the guitar he would've probably made his living as a jazz guitarist. That influence is so apparent on the second half of Symptom. Sabotage is a great album, the first track Hole In The Sky is great as well, fantastic riff, and one of the first songs to adopt an ecological message. Tony unfairly got tagged as a riff merchant but could be very subtle, see also Planet Caravan from Paranoid.

@rebeccabailey527

2 жыл бұрын

Thats actually not correct. Tony didn't know who reinhardt was until after he lopped off his two finger tips. As Tony has told it time and time again, and you can find Tony saying this on youtube, he stopped playing until his old boss came by with a record of reinhardt, and played it for him, he didn't want to listen, but he was like yeah, he can play, and then his boss told him about Django's accident, and he only played with 2 fingers. Then and only then did he begin figuring out how to play again. As far as tuning down, The first 2 albums and 6 of the 8 songs on master of reality was in E Standard tuning. From vol 4 and on, they tuned down to C#.

The progression of this band from their debut through to the sixth release is staggering. They are a rabbit hole to dive into and their are acoustic tracks that will blow you away. Orchid, Laguna Sunrise will floor you. Wheels of Confusion is a progressive metal brain melter. So many tracks.

Sabotage is Dark Side Of The Moon hard rock music. Perfect LP

So much music, i'm always happy for my request - and immediately feel regret over all the stuff I did not request 😆 In between I actually had another request, the more obscure Norwegian band Motorpsycho. It was a bit too drawn out/repetitive for them, but well, not every song suggestion can be a masterpiece winner, can it? Love your request, Michele. You always hit the right spot.

@@murdockreviews I agree that some tracks are great music but don’t always make for focused headphone listening - some are better for dance or driving or multitasking ... or some grow on you with time and aren’t the best “first listen.” Trust your instinct - you’re doing great 👍

@@murdockreviews oh and include Paul Simon and Michael Franks in that singer-songwriter category and many more. And btw, N&L did Motorpsycho, I think 🤔 (Edit: oops. I misread. That WAS your request). 🤷🏻‍♀️ I’m typing too fast. Lol. Cheers 🥂

Sabbath Bloody Sabbath... one of their best songs ever. Love all Ozzy sabbath albums..

Slept in my Black Sabbath T shirt and woke up with a "Symptom of the Universe".........

A few other good rockers from the boys (Ozzy, Geezer, Tony, and Bill) are "Hole in the Sky" (Sabotage) "Killing Yourself to Live" (Sabbath Bloody Sabbath),.and "Children of the Grave" (Master of Reality).

I like the fact you actually listened to the song instead of stopping it every 18 seconds.

This song is extraordinary ... one of the best kept secrets in the history of music

The entire album I’d gold. Best Heavy Metal album ever. Listen to it and deny. Great reaction!!

I played drums in a Sabbath/Ozzy tribute (ozzbest) and this was always one of the most fun songs to do. Bill Ward is hugely underrated as a drummer - hugely. Such a musical drummer too. 🤘 one of the nicest guys in rock too by all accounts

Also Sepultura did an amazing cover of this for the Nativity In Black - Sabbath tribute record 🤘

Also the drugs were soooo good back then! Not that I condone that kind of thing. Snowblind is an awesome song. They have so many

Hi guys, fantastic work. I love Tonys tone on the rundown and also Neil would have been impressed with Bills drumming in this song.
