Rock and Metal's Black Sabbath Thread

[Josh]

Finland.
Finland is now part of the UK...oh goody...that would mean Children of Bodom are now British? :lol:

[Brew]

Im not going :upset:

I got Trash by alice cooper the ther day, its ****ing great :thumb:

Get ''Welcome to my Nightmare'' and ''School's Out''

Those albums are alot better.

[shadow_stalker]

They must be bloody good to be better than trash.

Sack-man you should come see alice cooper and twisted sister at newcastle.

[Brew]

Trash is crappy 80's crappy metal.

Nightmare and School's are 70's Hard Rock n Roll :cool:

[shadow_stalker]

Dude Trash is great, but 70's metal is better.

Alice does a good jon bon jovi impression on a couple of the songs. :lol:

[Brew]

Thats because the dude that produced most of Bon Jovi's albums produced Trash.

I think.

[shadow_stalker]

Oh well.

tell sack-man that he should come and see alice cooper at newcastle.


hey josh is banned again.

[Brew]

Thats because he asked Humor99 to ban him.

So he did.

:lol:

[Six Foot Revolver]

I thought the whole humor99 thing was a joke

[shadow_stalker]

Why did he ask humer99 to ban him?

[Brew]

I'm not sure if its a joke, but he's banned for the time being.

He asked because he is a silly person?

[shadow_stalker]

oh well.

[Josh]

Oh well.

tell sack-man that he should come and see alice cooper at newcastle.


hey josh is banned again.
are you going? and how much are tickets?

[Six Foot Revolver]

:lol: just read him getting banned

[shadow_stalker]

I wanna go but i dont know anyone else who would.

[Brew]

I should be going to see Alice in November.

Most likely in Cardiff.

[Midnight Walker]

Irony. :lol:

Me and Shadow Stalker were talking this morning about me getting banned.

Well, I admit, I got owned.

[Brew]

:chug:

You asked for it.

[Midnight Walker]

I truly did. :chug:

MX Martyr? :lol:

[King_Karl]

Give him the 'Brum secks'

[IAJP]

Oh no, You don't want to go near that ****...

[Brew]

:eek:

:naughty:

I accept no responsibility for loss of er...something.

NP: NIB live, from 1971.

[Midnight Walker]

......i'm lost.....but I know the best idea for this situation....

/hides far away

[rippa32]

It's cool, he has a weird voice.
Never heard Bill Ward solo, though.

Actually geezer doesnt sing. On the first album its the guy from Fear Factory( I dont know his name) , on the second album (which I wanna get) and the upcoming one a guy called Clark Brown is on vocals.

[IAJP]

You sure?
Ah well, I assumed it was him.
Best Butler song: Man In A Suitcase.

[rippa32]

Yeah thats what I assumed but he musnt be a very good singer.

[Brew]

Actually geezer doesnt sing. On the first album its the guy from Fear Factory( I dont know his name) , on the second album (which I wanna get) and the upcoming one a guy called Clark Brown is on vocals.

Burton C.Bell*

[Midnight Walker]

He sang on that? How was he?

[ToRidTheDisease]

Howdy. :chug:

[Brew]

Welcome back :wave:

I have no idea how Burton sounds on the Geezer records, I'll look into buying them soon.

For now I'm off to sleep or something along those lines.

Night all

:wave:

[ToRidTheDisease]

Night.

[Six Foot Revolver]

Goodnight :wave:

[JACKROXYOU]

**** time zones

[rippa32]

Very true. As for the geezer albums does anyone know if they are easy to find in shops? because I havn't really specifacally (spl) looked before.

[Brew]

I found one in an independant shop a few years ago, I didn't buy it though.

That shop closed down for good about 2 years ago, it was a great shop - sold cd's, patches, t-shirts, hoody's, badges etc...

I've not seen one since, I saw Iommi's first album in Virgin about a year ago.

[rippa32]

is that the DEP sessions?

[Brew]

Nope.

Its the one he did in 2000/2001 with aload of different people singing on it.

[rippa32]

Ive heard samples of that. I didn't really like it all that much. What was most surprising was the completely different sound to sabbath.

[PIGS(1 different one)]

Just starting to get into them a bit more, I love Sabbath Bloody Sabbath, it almost has a prog feel to it. :eek:

[JACKROXYOU]

Just starting to get into them a bit more, I love Sabbath Bloody Sabbath, it almost has a prog feel to it. :eek:

it is a great tune

[willis2441]

it is a great tune
currently my favorite song!

[rippa32]

Just starting to get into them a bit more, I love Sabbath Bloody Sabbath, it almost has a prog feel to it. :eek:

So does Megalomania from the Sabotage album. You should look into that.

[King_Karl]

Buy Vol 4.

[pigonthewing82]

What do you guys think of the instrumental solo durning Wicked World on Past Lives.

[rippa32]

Bloody awesome. I dont usually like jazz but that freeform stuff that comes out of no-where is really good.

[shadow_stalker]

What do you guys think of the instrumental solo durning Wicked World on Past Lives.

Awesome, i love when they improvise like that. :thumb:

[IAJP]

Just starting to get into them a bit more, I love Sabbath Bloody Sabbath, it almost has a prog feel to it. :eek:
Anything after vol. 4 is pretty proggy. Especially Technical Ecstacy and Never Say Die! Check them out.

[IAJP]

Buy Vol 4.
Karl wins! :cool:

[shadow_stalker]

Buy Sabotage...dont have a reason but it has symton of the universe and hole in the sky on it so...

I am jimmy page what is your avatar?, also what is your real name because iamjimmypage is to much effort to type. :lol:

[Brew]

Sabotage has Megalomania.

'nuff said.

[shadow_stalker]

Oh yeah forgot megalomania.

Megalomania and tattood dancer (ozzy solo) sound quite similar in parts.

[Brew]

True, they have a similar back-up-vocals style.

[shadow_stalker]

Hehe Sephiroth is cool :cool:

[Brew]

Ooooh yeh :cool:

I'm stuck on FFVII at the mo, st00pid boss :(

[shadow_stalker]

hehe which boss?

[Brew]

Carry Armour, before you get the Submarine on Disc 2.

He's a slut.

[shadow_stalker]

:lol:

Can't remember which one that is but im sure ive beaten it.

[Brew]

I've beaten him in the past, its just this-time around he's being a bastard.

[shadow_stalker]

Your just not strong enough :lol:

[Brew]

:angry:

[shadow_stalker]

sorry :upset:

[Brew]

Hehe

:thumb:

I've just downloaded Faith No More's cover of War Pigs, I've heard it once before, from what I remember its an alright cover.

[shadow_stalker]

Im not really a faith no more fan.

I used to have loads of paranoid covers on my comp but almost all were **** so i deleted them.

[Brew]

I quite like Faith No More.

Its just a bog-standard cover, there's nothing special about it.

[shadow_stalker]

I wonder how many of the people that have posted in this thread still visit these forums...

[IAJP]

180:cool:

[shadow_stalker]

How do you know?

EDIT: oh your post count :lol:

[rippa32]

I was thinking of getting either technical ecstasy or never say die. Any suggestions?

[Brew]

Get both.

[Brew]

http://www.musicianforums.com/forums/showthread.php?t=324340

Check my post, see if you can fill in the blanks!

[shadow_stalker]

Get never say die, i dont like the album cover for technical ecstacy.

[Josh]

Get never say die, i dont like the album cover for technical ecstacy.
and not liking an album cover is a reason not to get it?

[shadow_stalker]

Its not so much a reason not to get it, just a reason to put off getting it...yeah...

[Josh]

lol...i listened to sabbath bloody sabbath today for the first time. i'm going to town on wednesday, i might get headless cross or dehumaniser then.

[shadow_stalker]

Youve already got my cds on your comp, what do you need to buy them for?

[Josh]

because i like having the genuine albums

[shadow_stalker]

I do as well, dont know why though.

I just a had a **** and it really hurt!!!

[Josh]

wonderful, just what we all want to know.

i like having the albums so i can read the lyrics and stuff when i'm really bored, and it looks better than having pirate copies.

[shadow_stalker]

I thought you would appreciate that bit of information.

I wonder how much money i have spent on cds...

[Josh]

lol me too...i only have 29 albums as well :lol:

[shadow_stalker]

I think i have about 70 so if i bought them all for £5 (which i didnt) that would cost like £350, not including albums which i have bought for other people and which have been bought by other people for me...i think i should lay off buying albums...for a while...

[Josh]

mine must be worth about £300, not sure though, some were under £10 and some were over

[shadow_stalker]

same with me, im out of sabbath related discussion...

[shadow_stalker]

Got something

NP - hellfueled - children of the grave

[Josh]

lol, i used to have that cover, its good. i like the godsmack ft. bruce dickinson cover of sabbath bloody sabbath

[Six Foot Revolver]

that Metallica cover ain't bad either

[shadow_stalker]

Im listening to sabbath bloody sabbath cover now, i had a silverchair cover of paranoid but it was balls so i deleted it.

I havnt listend to that metallica cover in quite a while.

[Josh]

i havnt heard the metallica cover of sabbra cadabra :upset:

[shadow_stalker]

Really, i thought that you had garage inc...

[Brew]

Metallica killed Sabbra Cadabra from what I've heard of it.

[ToRidTheDisease]

Metallica killed Sabbra Cadabra from what I've heard of it.
They completely butchered it IMO.
I just a had a **** and it really hurt!!!
.................

Less spam in here guys, take it to MSN/Aim etc...

[ToRidTheDisease]

There's not that much spam.

[JACKROXYOU]

Less spam in here guys, take it to MSN/Aim etc...

i finally catch brum on here

your usually gone

[Brew]

:wave:

Josh - True, but the posts about taking painfull poops are rather spam-ish.

[ToRidTheDisease]

Basically just something that no one wants to know about. :lol:

[Brew]

Pretty much.

[ToRidTheDisease]

/last non Sabbath thing i'll say

I finally got Angel of Retribution to work, kind of. I'm ripping it with iTunes to my mp3 player.

[Brew]

Groovey.

Its an alright album, Lochness is great.

NP - Tv Crimes

[ToRidTheDisease]

It's probably my favorite Priest album. Not sure why though.

Anyway, back to Sabbath.

How long would you all say Sabbath will be able to get along/tour together?

[Brew]

Original line-up?

Until Ozzy dies.

Any other line-up?

Until Tony Iommi decides to call it a day.

I think after this summer Ozzy is going back to his solo band and I think Iommi wants to go on tour with Glen Hughes so...not sure what'll happen to Sabbath then.

[ToRidTheDisease]

My thoughts are basically the same. I just really hope they don't start making ****ty material. As Ozzy has said though, he won't let that happen.

[rippa32]

It would be good for Dio or Martin to come back. But that will happen only when hell freezes over.

[Brew]

^Or for a Dio re-union, if they sack Geezer and Bill and bring in Vinny and another bass player.

Fun Fact: They actually had Vinny in the band not long after Bill had his heart attack, Vinny's kit was set-up behind Bill's just incase he couldn't cope with touring.

[kredkeee!]

Hi everyone, anyone remember me anymore? Not been here for so long... Didn't have much time/didn't want to spend it here. Pity. As for the question a few posts ago, I would say the same as Lord Brum did. Hmm anyone going to see Sabbath this year live? I have a chance to go to Prague in Czech Republic... (**** they are not going to Katowice in Poland, and Velvet Revolver, who tour with them, do!!!!!!!)...

[Madcap.]

I remember you.

[Brew]

'sup :wave:

I'm seeing Sabbath at the UK Ozzfest this year :cool:

[Josh]

so what do we reckon the setlist will be this summer?

/hasnt got a clue, hasnt heard enough sabbath albums

[Brew]

I did this a few pages ago, I can't be arsed going to find the post though.

Edit: Just look at the Re-Union setlist and work from there...

[rippa32]

^Or for a Dio re-union, if they sack Geezer and Bill and bring in Vinny and another bass player.

Fun Fact: They actually had Vinny in the band not long after Bill had his heart attack, Vinny's kit was set-up behind Bill's just incase he couldn't cope with touring.

Why would they sack Geezer? Hes been the bass player every time Dio has sung for Sabbath.

[Brew]

Dio has said that he'd only re-unite with Sabbath if Geezer and Bill weren't there, due to the problems they had with mixing/mastering the Live Evil album.

[rippa32]

I can see youre point but didnt geezer play on the dehuminizer album?

[Brew]

Yep.

Dio quit the De-humanizer tour after decided that Sabbath shouldn't have to open for Ozzy Osbourne's solo band, thats when something must have been said between them to make Dio say that he doesn't want to work with Geezer again.

[sabbathfan37]

I return! :wave: (too bad im gonna be gone for 4 days- leaving fri. @ 3:45 am)
I miss anything?

[JACKROXYOU]

Yep.

Dio quit the De-humanizer tour after decided that Sabbath shouldn't have to open for Ozzy Osbourne's solo band, thats when something must have been said between them to make Dio say that he doesn't want to work with Geezer again.

wow thats crazy

[pigonthewing82]

.I think after this summer Ozzy is going back to his solo band and I think Iommi wants to go on tour with Glen Hughes so...not sure what'll happen to Sabbath then.

I'm just wondering, I've always wondered if Ozzy and the rest of Sabbath ever really put past their differences and are friends again, or if they just did the reunions anyway. If so I really wish they would write at least one new song together, but that probally won't happen.

[rocknroll_ranger]

So i was looking around at all these "official threads" and noticed someone, no Black Sabbath thread?? I think out of all these bands these guys really need a main thread. They are one of the best rock bands ever. You can discuss anything Black Sabbath in here, but do not spam and flame.

Tony Iommi was the only guitarist in Black Sabbath, and Randy Rhoads had nothing to do with it. Therefore, do not say something like this: http://www.musicianforums.com/forums/showpost.php?p=6836385&postcount=3155

I'll start this off by asking, what is your all time favorite Black Sabbath song?

iron man
that is the funnest song to play on bass
ferries wear boots is awesome too

[rippa32]

Youre lucky brum isnt on.

[rippa32]

I'm just wondering, I've always wondered if Ozzy and the rest of Sabbath ever really put past their differences and are friends again, or if they just did the reunions anyway. If so I really wish they would write at least one new song together, but that probally won't happen.

They have written a few songs. Just not enough for an album.

[Brew]

Iron Man is fun to play on bass :cool:

Just read this months Classic Rock magazine, they have an interview with Geezer about his new album. He states that its Him who isn't really interested in doing a new Sabbath album, and he talks about Ohmwork and a possible tour of that album with Iommi's solo album at the same time.

Well worth checking out if your English.

[shamed-angel]

I got it too and it's really interesting. But I don't see the prospect of a Sabbath album anymore as one without Geezer would be a novelty IMO.

[Brew]

^Did you read the last page with the quotes on it?

That was great :lol:

[metallica83]

Question-
I got the Ozzy Live&Loud DVD last weekend.
When did these gigs shown there happen?
Original Sabbath members play some songs there. Has this been their first time playing together since the past, or has this been between the first reunion shows?

[metallica83]

by the way, Fav. song is after forever

[Brew]

Question-
I got the Ozzy Live&Loud DVD last weekend.
When did these gigs shown there happen?
Original Sabbath members play some songs there. Has this been their first time playing together since the past, or has this been between the first reunion shows?

The Live&Loud tour was 1991/1992, the Sabs performed Black Sabbath as a one-off towards the end of the tour. When Ozzy performed Changes it had Zakk Wylde on the piano.

It had been their first re-union since Live Aid in 1985 (or was it 1984? I can never remember) where they played a short set. After the Live&Loud one-off song the original Sabbath line-up didn't play a complete set until 1998/1999, when they did the Re-Union tour.

The 1997 Ozzfest doesn't count because Mike Bordin from Ozzy's solo band was drumming for them.

[rippa32]

Iron Man is fun to play on bass :cool:

Well worth checking out if your English.

Have you heard the samples of his new album? there on www.geezerbutler.com
The guitar work is really good but I hate the vocals.

[Brew]

I might check them out later on.

I laughed when I read how he came up with the name Ohmwork, it started out as the album being his ''homework'', which in a Brummie accent sounds like ''Ohmework'', he changed it to ''Ohmwork'' because it sounds more intelligent.

[rippa32]

lol. Have you seen the album cover? Its really good IMO

[shadow_stalker]

Hello children, what have i missed?

[shadow_stalker]

Wow slow thread these past few days...

[shadow_stalker]

so what do we reckon the setlist will be this summer?

/hasnt got a clue, hasnt heard enough sabbath albums

Same basic set as always: paranoid, war pigs, electric funreal, faries wear boots, iron man, NIB, Black sabbath, sweatleaf and then maybe a couple of different ones.

[Brew]

I'm not going to the Ozzfest at Download, I'm going on the sunday instead.

Why?

A few reasons...

1. I can't afford both days, Sunday has more bands that I want to see on it anyways, even though I've seen 3 bands before.
2. My dad is going on the Sunday - 'sup free lift there and back for me.
3. Sabbath won't be any different than on the Re-Union DVD (Last Supper), apart from the facts that Geezer is only in it for the money, Ozzy's vocie is pretty crap these days, Bill's half dead and Tony is well....Tony
4. Erm...I had a number 4 but its slipped my mind
5. I may change my mind when day tickets go on sale, but for the time being I'm only going on the Sunday.

[ToRidTheDisease]

I know that i'm going to Ozzfest.

[RNR]

Black Sabbath would be the best band at Ozzfest. The rest I really don't care for. I don't think i'll go.

[sabbathfan37]

Im back. (hopefully i wont be off for another extended amount of time) While i was gone, one of my friends told me iron maiden was going to be at ozzfest, would that be correct?

[ToRidTheDisease]

They've been on from the start.

[sabbathfan37]

Oh. must have missed that info. thanks.

[JACKROXYOU]

yea so is mudvayne.................

[rippa32]

Has it been anounced who will fill in for Maiden those final days?

[Child of the Grave]

itd be cool if black sabbath did a gig in Australia these days. even if its just a crappy performance id still go.

[Josh]

i think velvet revovler were rumoured to be filling in for maiden, but i dont know.

[Brew]

yea so is mudvayne.................
There's nothing wrong with Mudvayne.

[shadow_stalker]

I dont like madvayne...from what i've heard.

Anyone else think sabbath should call it a day?

[ATM]

I'd like to see them at Ozzfest. I have never gotten the chance.

[Brew]

Download day tickets went on sale today

£50 + £7 booking fee = £57 each.

I might be able to afford Ozzfest + Download Sunday

[ThugsRook]

Anyone else think sabbath should call it a day?
yes, and so should Ozzy

[shadow_stalker]

I can afford to go to see sabbath...im not, but still.

[shadow_stalker]

yes, and so should Ozzy

I think ozzy should put out one more album come play at newcastle, then call it a day. :thumb:

[Brew]

Ozzy said he'd call it a day in 1992...

[shadow_stalker]

Yeah, glad he didnt.

also do the right thing - Vote Dragonforce as best uk band at the golden god awards of 2005 - http://www.metalhammer.co.uk/goldengods/


sorry had to do that.

[Josh]

^^ADVERTISING :lol:

i can also afford ozzfest day at download, but its too far to travel. i'll wait and see them some other time, or just wait till ozzy's doing a solo tour.

[ToRidTheDisease]

yea so is mudvayne.................
Mudvanye is a great, and underrated band.

[magicbus]

Can you guys tell me who sings on Planet Caravan? I thought I'd ask here first.

[pigonthewing82]

I think ozzy should put out one more album come play at newcastle, then call it a day. :thumb:

I wouldn't mind it if he continued work with Sabbath though.

[ToRidTheDisease]

Can you guys tell me who sings on Planet Caravan? I thought I'd ask here first.
Ozzy Osbourne.

[ATM]

So I downloaded a song called Black Sabbath - Ultra Rare Ozzy Song, and I can't figure out who is singing. It sounds a little like Ozzy, but I don't think it is him.

[magicbus]

Ozzy Osbourne.

Oh, it didn't sound like him. I thought it might be another member of the band for one song.

[ToRidTheDisease]

Oh, it didn't sound like him. I thought it might be another member of the band for one song.
Yeah, he sounds a bit different. Probably due to the trippy way the song is.

[ATM]

So I downloaded a song called Black Sabbath - Ultra Rare Ozzy Song, and I can't figure out who is singing. It sounds a little like Ozzy, but I don't think it is him.

Should I upload it?

[shadow_stalker]

Yeah, he sounds a bit different. Probably due to the trippy way the song is.

First time i eard solitude i didnt think that it was ozzy singing.

[shadow_stalker]

I wouldn't mind it if he continued work with Sabbath though.

Screw it ozzy and sabbath should keep going forever...depending who sings for sabbath

[Brew]

Should I upload it?
Is it Electric Sleep/Electric Sheep?

Its not Black Sabbath that did the song, just a band with a singer who sounds ALOT like Ozzy.

[shadow_stalker]

There was a thing about that on black-sabbath.com a while ago.

Apparently loads of people kept e-mailing joe seigler about it asking if it was really sabbath because they couldnt find it on any sabbath track list.

[ATM]

It must be. They don't list an actual title on it, it just says Ultra Rare.

[cliff solos for all]

do black sabbath have any other bass solos except n.i.b

[Josh]

NIB itself isn't really a bass solo in its own right, it has a bass solo as the introduction to the song. and no, i can't think of any other bass solos.

[rising_fury]

i picked up Sabbath's self titled yesterday on vinyl, automatically making me better then most people on the planet.

[shadow_stalker]

NIB itself isn't really a bass solo in its own right, it has a bass solo as the introduction to the song. and no, i can't think of any other bass solos.

Actually the start of NIB is a bass solo because it was a different song (i think it was called 'basically' or something), but the two songs became one over time.

So your both right...kind of :wave:

[shadow_stalker]

i picked up Sabbath's self titled yesterday on vinyl, automatically making me better then most people on the planet.

I have paranoid and Sabbath blood sabbath, but i think that the release date on them is from something like 1982...but im not sure...ill check when i get home.

[Josh]

i don't have any vinyls :( don't have a record table either though, i'd have to go to my gran's to play vinyls :lol:

[rippa32]

I have one set up next to the computer. So I can listen to my dads beatles records whilst on the net.

[shadow_stalker]

I could really do with a one, my dad has loads of old vinals by some good bands but i dont have anything to play them on.

[shadow_stalker]

It must be. They don't list an actual title on it, it just says Ultra Rare.

Yeah thats the one, ive never heard it though.

[rippa32]

What would people say is the best Martin album?

[Brew]

i picked up Sabbath's self titled yesterday on vinyl, automatically making me better then most people on the planet.

I think on a camera somewhere I have a picture of most of them layed out on my bedroom floor, but the film needs to be developed.

[Endless Obsession]

I like 'War Pigs' a lot. The more I've listened to Black Sabbath lately, I've noticed that they sound a lot like Led Zeppelin. Has anyone ever noticed that or am I crazy?

Monti

Yeah they do sound like Zeppelin at times. But sometimes they sound nothing alike.

How did you get so many?

[guitarist.kid]

I want to listen to more Black Sabbath. Do you have a best of or an album to advice to me?

[ToRidTheDisease]

Vol. 4.

[rippa32]

I want to listen to more Black Sabbath. Do you have a best of or an album to advice to me?

Don't get best ofs. If you want a good album to start go Black Sabbath or Master of Reality. If you like them get Vol 4 or Sabotage.

[Mufasa.]

Don't get best ofs. If you want a good album to start go Black Sabbath or Master of Reality. If you like them get Vol 4 or Sabotage.

I'd say buy in order:

1. Paranoid
2. Black Sabbath
3. Sabotage

[rippa32]

Dont get paranoid its overrated.

[Mufasa.]

Dont get paranoid its overrated.

I agree that it's overrated, but still I think the best album to get you into Black Sabbath.

[rippa32]

Yeah you have got a point there. I must admit its the song paranoid that got me interested in Sabbath. Well that and the fact that the name Black Sabbath sounds cool.

[Brew]

How did you get so many?

From Black Sabbath to Never Say Die! (inc. Sold Soul and Greatest Hits) I got them off my Dad.

The Dio + Martin ones I bought myself.

The only Black Sabbath albums that I have on real cd's are Paranoid(1996 Castle Remaster version, mwahaha), TYR and Dehumanizer.

I copied all the other albums from vinyl to cd, so some of them skip a little and theres some nice vinyl sounds in the background :cool:

[Brew]

I want to listen to more Black Sabbath. Do you have a best of or an album to advice to me?
Best of - The Best of Black Sabbath

Album - Vol.4

I love those vinyl sounds at the start of the record. Except I hate it when you hear them while the song is playing. btw Are the ones you bought yourself second hand?

Vinyl sounds are coooool.

Yeh, the ones I've bought myself on vinyl are second hand, but are most likely original pressings.

I actually think that the best of black sabbath (even though it doesnt have their best songs) is a pretty good starting point.

[shadow_stalker]

What would people say is the best Martin album?

Headless Corss, i love that album.

[Josh]

best of black sabbath
sabbath bloody sabbath (ozzy)
master of reality (ozzy) (borrowed it from shadow_stalker on friday, its amazing!)
dehumanizer (dio)
headless cross (martin)

[Brew]

I prefer TYR to Headless Cross.

[Josh]

i like TYR as well, but not as much as headless cross. and the whole thing of the 3 songs being linked annoys me a bit, even though its cool.

[rippa32]

Yeah I rekon they should have just combined all three songs and called it the Battle of Tyr, oh well. Have you also noticed how the lyrics overlap on the songs?

[RNR]

Dont get paranoid its overrated.

It's not like it's not good. It's just not as good as some others.

[rippa32]

Well with paranoid ive overplayed all the songs. I found I cant overplay anything else from sabbath.

[pigonthewing82]

Well with paranoid ive overplayed all the songs. I found I cant overplay anything else from sabbath.

Eh everybody says they have that problem, but it really doesn't effect me that much. I mean I don't listen to the radio so I don't hear the songs from that album over played so much I guess. I don't mind any of the songs on there, just as I don't mind Stairway To Heaven by Led Zep. Though also like Stairway to Heaven, there is much better stuff from the band then their most mainstream album/song.

[scentless.apprentice.]

is there many good songs on the black sabbath and paranoid albums that arn't on sold our soul....

[rippa32]

Megalomania Live isnt all that rare. I have it on the Past Lives album.

[rippa32]

couple of things

a)Some people might not like it.
b) How is not a hard concept? Some people read it differently.

Why dont you go die genius?

they only people that would not like a song like rat salad you need to learn to appericate instrumental music rat salad has some of the best drums ever
and it is not a hard concept because there is only one way to read, seriously.

[Brew]

^People read things differently mmmkay?

And ALOT of Sabbath songs have better drumming in them than Rat Salad, not saying Bill's drumming sucks there, its just not his best.

[Brew]

Megalomania Live isnt all that rare. I have it on the Past Lives album.

I had a feeling it was on there.

[IAJP]

Try and put some kind of punctiation in there, for the love of god.

[I Sold Me Soul For Rock N Roll]

So i was looking around at all these "official threads" and noticed someone, no Black Sabbath thread?? I think out of all these bands these guys really need a main thread. They are one of the best rock bands ever. You can discuss anything Black Sabbath in here, but do not spam and flame.

Tony Iommi was the only guitarist in Black Sabbath, and Randy Rhoads had nothing to do with it. Therefore, do not say something like this: http://www.musicianforums.com/forums/showpost.php?p=6836385&postcount=3155

I'll start this off by asking, what is your all time favorite Black Sabbath song?

lol,i know this was posted a long time ago,but i just read what that guy said. SHAME ON HIM!!!DOES HE KNOW NOTHING???i mean,if youre on the rock/metal forum,u should atleast know the basic facts about THE original metal band(no disrespect to Led Zep,they are/were one of the greatist of all times,but more rock). and know disrespect to Randy,he was possibly the best guitarist ever.but DEEP DISPECT ON THAT GUY!!!ill try to calm down now...

[I Sold Me Soul For Rock N Roll]

does anyone else hate the live evil album? dio is fine doing his era stuff,but when he does ozzy era songs,hekills them,he absolutely murdered N.I.B.

[rippa32]

does anyone else hate the live evil album? dio is fine doing his era stuff,but when he does ozzy era songs,hekills them,he absolutely murdered N.I.B.

From what ive heard I dont mind the slant he puts on the songs. Not as good as ozzy but still good.

[JACKROXYOU]

ugh dont remind me of dio sigin nib

[rippa32]

Maybe I havnt heard NIB from that album. Ill have a look at the place I got samples. www.bbc.co.uk its great for listening to samples of songs so you can decide if you want to buy the album.

[rippa32]

I just went on and heard it. I agree, total butchering.

[Brew]

Live Evil is my fav. Dio-era album.

IMO, nothing got butchered.

[ToRidTheDisease]

Same, it's a good album.

In another non Sabbath news, the new Avenged Sevenfold song is out, and it looks like they have gone power metal. \m/

[shadow_stalker]

does anyone else hate the live evil album? dio is fine doing his era stuff,but when he does ozzy era songs,hekills them,he absolutely murdered N.I.B.

I wouldnt say he kills tham, but they arent nearly as good as when ozzy sings them.

[shadow_stalker]

Andy is the story of black sabbath vol 2 as good as volume 1 (thinking of getting it).

Josh if you see this dont forget master of reality on monday!!!

[Mcpheely]

I've heard little from the Dio-era but what I heard I felt was rather good. But I prefer Ozzy.

[shadow_stalker]

Yeah ozzy owns dio (in my god-like opinion).

Martin also owns dio.

[Brew]

Dude, Edit button.

Part 2 of the Sabbath Story was rushed, the videos are good but other than that its a bit meh.

[Josh]

Andy is the story of black sabbath vol 2 as good as volume 1 (thinking of getting it).

Josh if you see this dont forget master of reality on monday!!!
i just ripped it to my computer :thumb: i should remember it on monday now, i've only had it for a week. lend me dragonforce - valley of the damned before you lend it to ollie please.

[shadow_stalker]

I'll get vol 2 anyway.

Im letting ollie borrow it cause he is letting me borrow something (think its iced earth but im not sure).

[rippa32]

Which DVD is better Vol 1 or Never Say Die? Im tempted to get Never Say Die because it is a one full concert rather than a bunch of clips.

[Brew]

Never Say Die is a bit meh in some places, its nothing special.

Vol 1 is probably slightly better.

[shadow_stalker]

Vol 1 is really good, get that (hasnt got/seen never say die) :upset:

Hey andy dont suppose you could suggest a dream evil album could you?

[IAJP]

I can? :)
THE BOOK OF HEAVY METAL!
Deffinitley.

[shadow_stalker]

Ok ill look into that, it better not be expensive.

Im also going to get a cd by 'Lost Horizon', cause they sound awesome. (delivery could take 4 - 6 weeks) :angry:
