Makes sense, figuring it is a very solid song. And, at the very least, the lyrics are relivant today.

Me, I can't say a favorite song. Heaven and Hell, Sabbath Bloody Sabbath, NIB, and War Pigs are very soild songs I can't help but like. Planet Caravan and Spiral Archetect are cool songs in their own way. Neon Knights and Symptom of the Universe kick ***, though Neon Knights might just be because of Dio's voice.

If any one was wondering it was Almost Famous which pretty funny movie.

Black Sabboth-1922 was where tony got the idea or whoever(not real big expert on who) for the band name and title song correct?

I'm pretty sure it was "Geezer" Bulter who wrote most of the song Black Sabbath, but I'm sure it wasn't named after Sabboth. It makes sense when you know what "sabbath" is.

actually, the band name came from the movie 'black sabbath' by boris karlof in 1963.
the song, ozzy came up with. he got it from geezer's strange encounter. one night, this black figure appeared at the foot of geezer's bed. he thought it was satan. after that, he painted his room orange. when ozzy heard that, he wrote the song 'black sabbath'. and actually (contrary to popular belief) the song [I]discourages[/I] satanism.

Interesting info there.

Whoa I just got confused, which Sabbath song goes: "Nobody will ever let you know, when you ask the reason why, they just tell you that you're on your own"?

Edit: Nevermind, sorry about my stupidity.

I downloaded a live version with....Tony Martin on vocals, and he kinda killed it. I also have a version with Rob Halford on vocals, which is fantastic.[/QUOTE]

Judas Priest = almost as good as Sabbath

What Sabbath song has the best solo from Tony Iommi? I've heard "The Warning" and it's quite nice. :thumb:

[QUOTE=shadow_stalker]thats what geezer says on the story of.. vol 1

The Warning wasn't written by Iommi, at least I don't think it was, the writing credits have it as been written by ''Dunbar''.

And w00t, we're an Official thread now :cool:

/me adds more details.

Geezer got given a book all about Witchcraft, Black Magic etc...and he kept it locked away in a cupboard. One night he saw the black figure at the end of his bed, got scared almost to the point of pooping himself (ok, maybe I made that bit up), and then got rid of everything to do with Satan in his room. When he checked to see if the book was still in its cupboard the next morning, it had vanished.

Not long afte, he wrote the lyric ''What is this, that stands before me. Figure in black, which points at me'', which was related to his experience.

And on the topic of film/song/band name, the song Black Sabbath came first, they named the band after the song. I believe the song was named after the film Black Sabbath.

woo we rock!!!

I don't know why, but the chorus to [I]Zero the Hero[/I] make me laugh:

"What you gonna be, what you gonna be brother
Zero the Hero
Don't you wanna be, don't you wanna be brother
Zero the Hero
When you gonna be, when you gonna be brother
Zero the Hero
Impossibility impissibolity mother
Really a Hero"

They just make me think of Hulk Hogan, standing in a wrestling ring calling out a wrestler, because he said ''Brother'' alot.

2. which members of any era of Black Sabbath have died.

1) He flew off a quad and has gotten screwed up on drugs multiple times. He also got diagnosed with Multiple Schilrosis back in the 90's, but he got over it.

2) Cozy Powell, 1947 - 1988.

123.

To my knowledge, this is the longest running Sabbath thread that hasn't de-generated into an Ozzy vs Other singers thread.

wow i cant get nothin by you guys.

Woa, since when did this become official? :chug:

Last night :)

Cool.

it's been offical for awile right LORD. since like saturday

No, since last night.

Silly n00b :p

;)

Well i'm happy, i just got a record player so now I can listen to my Sabbath records.

^w00t.

Sabbath on vinyl is great, screw all this new re-mastered poopoo.

Vinyl > Cd's.

Make sure you turn up the volume at the end of [I]The Writ[/I] on [I]Sabotage[/I], so you can hear [I]Blow on a Jug[/I].

You won't be disappointed, providing you have Sabotage on vinyl.
