What do you guys think of Iommi's solo work?

^
I honestly prefer Geezer work to Iommi's.

I'm yet to get an Iommi album, I have all 3 of Geezer's albums though.

I dont like Geezer's stuff, because I really don't like industrial. But he has such a wide taste in music and I hear he wants to do a Jazz album, I would buy that.

I still havnt heard any of Iommi or Geezer's solo stuff (but if geerzer's is industrial i probably wont like it)

ive heard Bill's stuff and i really didnt like that

i havent heard anybodys solo stuff

for the sake of keeping this alive, what were u doing when you heard your first sabbath song?

i was 12 and i was at a baseball game and they played paranoid. my mom was making fun of ozzys voice but i was in love. i didnt know what the band name or song title was so i wrote 'finished with my woman' on the back of my hand, it was the only lyric i could understand/remember.

if your parents like them and you grew up listening to them in the car your a lucky b*tch.

I first heard Paranoid too which is really funny that, that song got me into them because I hate it now. I always wanted to listen to Black Sabbath because I loved the name so much and when I heard a friend had the Best Of I asked to listen to it and he put that song on.

Hmm...

My discovery of Sabbath dates back to 2002 when I saw Ozzy at the Ozzfest, by then I think I already knew Paranoid but that was about it. Paranoid then ended up being the first song I learnt to play on bass, then not long after my Dad basicly gave me every Sabbath album he had on vinyl (from Black Sabbath to Never Say Die!, but not Paranoid, he had that on cassette) to listen to and keep in my room.

For the sake of keeping this thread alive..

I first got into Sabbeth pretty heavily when in 9th grade we had to do a presentaion on a protest song. I wanted to do CCR's "Fortunate Son" but my partner convinced me into doing Sabbeth's "War Pigs" After hearing that one i perchased We Sold Our Souls for Rock & Roll.

That was the first album I got too. I started really listening to them in 7th grade.

The first album I got was... Vol .4 I think.

First tiem i can remember heraing black Sabbath as when a local band played Paranoid at some crappy gig, i loved the song (although what the band did to it wasnt great), but from there i borrowed 'the best of...' and that got me into metal in general (and later from there Andy being the nice guy that he is got me into Dragonforce:chug: ).


i think im the only person that still likes the song Paranoid.

I'm pretty sick of it personally.

Meh its like Crazy Train by Ozzy, you either love it or you hate it

It's not that I hate the song, I'm just sick of hearing it.

Give me Into The Void anyday.

That song is awesome, from that killer opening riff right to the end.

i liked into the void the first couple times i heard it

I've got a thread on him. Just click on my avatar, then scroll to find the 'Tony Iommi' thread.

Has anybody heard any of Bill's solo stuff? I personally havnt but can imagine it ro be not very heavy at all. Especially after hearing It's Alright from Technical Ecstacy.

I got into Sabbath through my uncle, he's a huge fan. He gave me We Sold Our Soul For Rock N' Roll.

I really only got into Sabbath near the end of last year, but I've been an avid Ozzy fan since mid 2004.

As for Geezer doing Jazz, I'd be really keen to hear it

So have you had heard any non-ozzy Sabbath? Its really good stuff.

I like Sweet Leaf, that's an amazing song.

Yeah I have, I picked up a really nice Sabbath box set a while ago, basically a greatest hits from when Sabbath started till 1988, but I have 2 say, that Sabbath wasn't really ever the same without Ozzy. The singer makes the band, i find. You know, most bands are most easily identified by the singer's voice, and unless you are really into Sabbath, it can be hard to tell it is Sabbath without Ozzy. Well, at least thats how I saw it before i actually started listening to it.

Personally I prefer them with Dio, but they had more increadible albums with Ozzy. Dio's vocals fit the band perfectly, Heaven and Hell might be my favorite Sabbath album.

I'm also really getting into their s/t. I love the bluesy feel to it, and the instrumental work is some of their best.

I popped in the self titled yesterday or the day before, and man! It was really awesome! The title track and The Wizard blew me away. I remember thinking this cd was OK when I bought it a while back, but now I love it. I can listen to that stuff all day. :p

I think I may pick up Masters Of Reality tomorrow... I already have Paranoid, and I want more!

Master Of Reality is a great album. It's probably one of my favorite Black Sabbath albums. Sweat Leaf is so awesome, to listen to and to play. Orchid is cool to play if you have multi recording equipment.

Solitude is probably the best track from Master of Reality.

For me anyways.

[QUOTE=Brew]Solitude is probably the best track from Master of Reality.

Solitude is just one of sabbath's best song alltogether, although for some reason not many people realise it :angry:


I gave TYR another listen today, i still dont like it there just isnt anything there for me to like it.

Yeah, Solitude is really underrated. Master of Reality is really good, I don't have any problems with it being a tad short.
