yeah i was wondering about what he was on about aswell.

Haha, sorry guys. This is the thread starter, Josh. :) I was quite high when I posted that.

Hey, havent seen you in a while, couldve been the bannings. Tis nice to see you back.

Thanks :chug:

'sup :chug:

I'd make a Sabbath purchase in the near future, but the albums that I want/need are the obscure ones from the 90's that are difficult to get hold of :(

I haven't talked to you in forever! How's it going man?

Life is good at the moment - my band is doing well ([URL="http://www.myspace.com/nebularfrostmetal"]linkage[/URL]), have been with my girlfriend for just over 2months, w00t and I'm 1 exam away from a near 3-month long summer...but I should really get a job...

Hows things with you?

Good band. I have a black metal project going too, mainly ambient stuff. [url]http://myspace.com/asgardflorida[/url]

I'm doing pretty good I guess. Not much changes over here.

Favourite Album:
Master of Reality- Last 3 songs are phenomenally awesome. Not to discredit the first 5 though, the whole bloody thing's great. Lord of This World and Into The Void alone, however, make me want to start up my own cover band just to play the stuff live everytime I listen to them.

Honourable mentions: Vol.4, Black Sabbath, Paranoid (over-played/overrated self-titled song, but War Pigs is too epic to deny no matter how popular it is, and Planet Caravan, Electric Funeral, and Fairies Wear Boots are all key Sabbath songs)

Only own the Ozzy years (all the studio albums at least), post-Ozzy has never caught my fancy the times I've given it a chance. Love it all but I find they start to get weak on Sabbath Bloody Sabbath (starts off well, trails off after Sabbra) and decline from there. Still some great songs on the last couple albums none-the-less.

What about Sabotage? The first side has some really awesome heavy tracks and the proggier stuff on side two is nothing short of brilliant (except Am I Going Insane, which is one reason you shouldnt let Ozzy write the majority of a song.)
Also check out Born Again, it has more in common with Ozzy eras than Dio stuff so you might like that.

Am I Going Insane (Radio) is a great song!

Haha, each to their own I suppose. It is just a but too "pop" for me but meh.

I like this guy, lol. Actually most people here just discredit anything ozzy wasn't on, that other guy (Sabbath_N_Soundgarden) seemed to have a plausible opinion though.

thats on the storey of... vol 1

hehehe top of the pops ftw :p

The video of Paranoid on The Story of Vol.1 is so badly mimed its unreal.

Ive heard that the Sabbath Bloody Sabbath video is out of sync as well and had the ending missing. Did they cut out the second bit on the single because it didnt fit the mainstream all too well?

Anyway it's nice to see this thread going again.

the sabbath bloody sabbath video does have the end cut, as for the timing parts of it look like ozzy is really crap at synching then other parts it looks like he is just pissing about so its kind of hard to tell whats going on

I should really get that DVD, I might get The Last Supper as well.

Just a question, are any of you guys into any Doom?

I am, in fact I have just started posting in the Stoner/Doom thread.

Although ive always felt that only the first 4 Sabbath albums influenced doom, the rest although heavy kinda lost the "Doom" sound to it.

[QUOTE=Apocalyptic Raids]Just a question, are any of you guys into any Doom?[/QUOTE]

I'm a huge fan of doom.

Doom is still a kickass game, the sub-genre of metal is pretty kickass aswell.

I just aquired Sabbath's first 3 albums

:eek:

I need more Sabbath fast. I'm planning on getting Vol 4, Sabbath Bloody Sabbath and Heaven and Hell rather quickly.

i think the only doom stuff i really have is Cathedral, still kicks arse though

[QUOTE=Brew]Doom is still a kickass game, the sub-genre of metal is pretty kickass aswell.[/QUOTE]

Hehe, doom is a good game.

Also to Deth, theres some good choices there I would also add Sabotage to that list.

I would recommend you Mob Rules. It's my favorite Sabbath album.

Mob Rules is fantastic.

Nuts to making a list of albums to buy...buy them all!

I agree :thumb:, but considering buying them all at the same time is kinda silly. A list is a nice way to prioritise(sp) I think.

I just got [I]Black Sabbath[/I] and [I]Reunion[/I] from the library :cool:

Hey nice. Is reunion any good? I already have Past Lives and i'm not in any rush for another live album.

Reunion sucks hard.

Whats wrong with it? Ozzy's ageing vocals? The greatest hits style setlist?

Mainly the vocals. As I recall, the sound isn't that great either. And Ozzy never shuts up also, during non-vocal parts.

It's not that bad.

Ah, maybe I just don't like live albums with Ozzy on them, as I detest Past Lives/Live at Last even more than I detest Reunion.
