i think rat salad is one of the worst sabbath insturmentals that i have heard, FX off volume 4 is one of the only ones i've heard that is worse, that is a terrible song

[QUOTE=Livewired]Their Self Titled album alog with Masters Of Reality will get you started. :thumb:[/QUOTE]

Master of Reality... Yes. In my opinion all BS albums are great, and i couldn't say any from these i've heard is better than others. But MoR seems to me the first BS album on which they play only Heavy Metal. Black Sabbath and paranoid were more bluesy. Children of the Grave, After Forever, Lord of This World... Simple yet changing and very listenable riffs, hard, 'biting' solos and sooo great vocals of Ozzy... :rolleyes: together with Geezer's bass and Bill's drums it gives one of the hardest Metal albums I've heard...

Rat salad is a great drum solo, the guitar isn't that great but then again it's not the focal point of the song.

i still say their first album is their best, got to love that bluesy feel

[QUOTE=unclebobscircus]Rat salad is a great drum solo, the guitar isn't that great but then again it's not the focal point of the song.[/QUOTE]

I really like Master of Reality and Volume Four

Here are my 10 favourite Black Sabbath songs:

1.Every Day Comes and Goes (Under the Sun)
2.Hand Of Doom
3.Sweet Leaf
4.War Pigs
5.Solitude
6.Orchid
7.Killing Yourself To Live
8.Snowblind
9.Supernaut
10.Behind the Wall of Sleep

Black Sabbath is the first real heavy metal band I had listened to (I heard Def Leppard and other hair bands on the radio when I was a kid :eek: )

Me and my friend would listen to music in the basement, and discuss which guitar solo is better and why.. or in which song Bill Ward's drumming is better.. and so on..

Its good to see some people here who appriciate the good stuff..

new quetion...again

which post ozzy/dio album is you favourite? (note that means everyone after dio and ozzy)

I heard only (poor me) TYR and Born Again. And I Think they are both really worth listening to. BA's self titled song is beautiful, Zero the Hero's solo is one of Iommi's best i think, and TYR is... also just great. Really bad i cant afford BS albums here in Poland... Too expensive..... And there's so little amounts of them nowadays... :upset: :upset: :upset:

[QUOTE=shadow_stalker]sometimes i get the feeling that you dont like the album paranoid...[/QUOTE]

Yep, I don't like that album much at all.

It bores me.

[QUOTE=starappletheory]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[/QUOTE]
No.. ur not crazy! ur just special..... well... they do cuz' led zep started metal althogh not exactly metal... ;)

if you just buy the best of you have all but 2 songs from paranoid

would it be a good idea to buy tony iommi's SG.. i got an MG100HDFX by Marshall

[QUOTE=shadow_stalker]if you just buy the best of you have all but 2 songs from paranoid[/QUOTE]

You also get about 4 non-Ozzy songs.

English?

oh yes

I was just trying to help you out, if you type like that on here a lot, people will flame you.

[QUOTE=Lord Brummington]You also get about 4 non-Ozzy songs.[/QUOTE]

yeah, they could do with making a best of volume 2 with songs from the none-ozz years

Iommi should be up there with Clapton, Page and Hendrix

[QUOTE=shadow_stalker]yeah, they could do with making a best of volume 2 with songs from the none-ozz years[/QUOTE]

Apparently they were going to make a box set of the post Ozzy albums, but I don't know if its going to happen or not.

[QUOTE=Lord Brummington]Apparently they were going to make a box set of the post Ozzy albums, but I don't know if its going to happen or not.[/QUOTE]

as much as i loment the post ozzy stuff i would probably get it just to see how it sounded

sackman: get their first album, master of reality or the reunion cd

[QUOTE=sack-man]ok i'll stop using text language then. what sabbath albums should i ask my parents for as a christmas present?

sorry about double post computer went wrong[/QUOTE]

My suggestion, ask for, The Original Black Sabbath: Symptom of the Universe 1970-1978. 2 disc set, all Ozzy era songs, a kick @$$ compilation.

[QUOTE=sack-man]ok i'll stop using text language then. what sabbath albums should i ask my parents for as a christmas present?

Master of Reality, Vol. 4, We Sold Our Souls for Rock and Roll.

[QUOTE=Rusted Metal]My suggestion, ask for, The Original Black Sabbath: Symptom of the Universe 1970-1978. 2 disc set, all Ozzy era songs, a kick @$$ compilation.[/QUOTE]

Black-Sabbath.com is where most of my info comes from.

I spent ages reading the timeline page once, its really interesting.

i did that once, i didnt remember most of the stuff that i read

is that the official site, because if you go to [url]www.blacksabbath.com[/url] it says official site coming soon, but joe siegler's site seems to have become official since people like bill ward have put stuff towards it

me needs a sabbath t-shirt :upset:

Joe Siegler = God.

tr00f.

I might be getting a Sabbath hoody after xmas :)

lucky bastard, joe siegle did a really good job with that site.

did you sign up for the email newsletter thing?

it has some good stuff in

Nah, I check the website once every few weeks though.
