thanks man, there hard to find these days coz most of em arent my age,
i dont think theres another 17 yo australian dude that likes sabbath as much as me, i used to just sit with my 'gibson iommi sg 400' in my room and play there entire back cataloge along with the lp or cd, until i dicovered that my ex bandmates finally accepted ''high pitched'' voices in there terms as cool and not gay (absolutly no offence whatsoever to the world wide homosexual community) and could appricate guitar that was real and not just computerised (with the exeption of never say die) so now we have changed musical direction and are now a real metal band that will put up a fight against any mainstream posers or even guys just like us, we have a point to prove to the world all because of the sound of rain , tolling bells , and the most powerful , soul crushing, bone rattling first chord of Black Sabbath, which i heard when i was about four years old, they have never been matched, nver will, and just like sabbath we will NEVER SAY DIE :thumb:

Black Sabbath is the best band ever, I love all their songs, no band in the world is better.

Black Sabbath from 1970-1978 that is...after that you cant really call it Black Sabbath, its just plain 80's crap.

Sabbath Rules!!

^^^^

your not a diehard Sabbath fan then,as I have every album and would only call "seventh star" and "forbidden" their only weak albums. The other's are fantastic (espically the Dio and Martin years).

thats the REAL Sabbath thread we've had going on for awhile now, look on page 1 for key tracklists from a real Sabbath fanatic.

^Iommi has his new (well, old) album out now with Glen Hughes on vocals.

If I'm right, its the album they've been calling the 8th Star?

Was due out in 1996, but got shunned for a Mark I Black Sabbath re-union.

Fun Fact of the day - There have been roughly 30 different line-ups for Black Sabbath.

snowblind is my favorite song.

Im trying to get into black sabbath, i know ill like them just from what ive heard, what cd should i buy first. preferrably from the ozzy era.

[QUOTE=G_Mac07]I bought a 2 disc cd called "The Best of Black Sabbath" last week. It's this best thing I've bought for ages:thumb:[/QUOTE]


maybe ill get that to starrt out

hmm im not sure, but theres no "bad" black sabbath cd, just find one with the songs you like.

Master Of Reality. It is their gateway album, and is one of the most popular.

Yes i got 8th star last week actually, i like it more than Seventh Star but overall it's not near his best, still worth getting if your an obsessive Iommi fan.

[QUOTE=HeavyRiva]Master Of Reality. It is their gateway album, and is one of the most popular.[/QUOTE]

i will aggree with that, it was my second (first being Sabbath, Bloody Sabbath) and when i heard those songs it was what got me hooked and made me appriciate Sabbath, Bloody Sabbath more. My third album was Heaven and Hell, which at the time i was not aware had Dio on vocals, and LOVED that and soon purchased Volume.4 and Dehumanizer.

what album is sweet leaf on?

^^^^

master of reality...not one of the album highlights, if you havent heard the rest you wouldnt understand hehe. Fantastic album.

I was thinking about getting the Tyr album wat do u all think about that album.

Tyr is fantastic. All lyrics are based around Norse Myths, which i am very much into. Tony's voice is wondeful on there. Id say the key tracks would be: "the sabbath stones" "anno mundi" and "jerusalem" though every track is magnificigant. Probley their best produced album in terms of sound quality, Tony plays wonderfuly which is most importantly. aside from "cross purposes" it is the best with Martin on vocals.

thanks for that

the new box set rocks. you can really see a progression in the musical ability of sabbath. Im not sure i like the synth in "never say die (or maybe its technical exstacy?," i think its overused. but, sabbath will always kickass. Sabatoge would rate #1 for me on the original lineup's discography.

Black sabbath is the best black sabbath album.

What does everyone think of the Dehuminizer Album.

I like Master Of Reality.

But without Ozzy...they are a joke.

Um, no. Ozzy is the joke, Sabbath owned with the other vocalists. The Dehumanizer album was one of those that owned. It's awesome. I love the first three songs, especially.

I love Sabbath a lot more then Ozzy.

I can remember first listening to Sabbath when i was 9. It was on vinly and i still love their sh!t today. Master Of Reality was my fav. album, now its paranoid, undoubtedly the best metal album of all time. I dont think much of ozzy, but iommi is a mentor (anyone who can play with 2 fingers is pretty cool).

sabbath is great and iommi is a bit under-rated, what with the fingers being chopped off.

Black Sabbath>Every other album by them.

Apart from the Reunion cd they released, which was live and had all their best songs on.

Master of reality truly a masterpiece
 

Ulike most modern day bands, black sabbath actually reaches into your mind and pulls out your soul, twisting it into realms of the imagination never before, or even since, explored by humanity. Master of Reality has got to be one of the greatest albums of all time, although not the most popular (that medal goes to Paranoid), certainly one of the most surreal... and even an anti-religion person like myself was drawn to explore the regions of life after death and even sought to gain a better understanding of christianity. A stimulant to the mind and the soul, a refreshment for the more macabre and morbid imaginations of humanity... without sabbath my life would be an empty wasteland void of all existensialist thought, but as it is, my worldview is constantly fuelled by the beauty of Orchid. To me, Master of Reality is truly that.

I prefer the lesser known Black Sabbath songs to the ones that they play on tour all the time.

I get sick of hearing Paranoid, Iron Man, Snowblind and War Pigs etc... I'd give my left leg to be able to see them play on the Vol.4 tour or the Sabotage tour.

i'd settle for just seeing them at all

[QUOTE=rising_fury]i'd settle for just seeing them at all[/QUOTE]

Same here, I just wish they'd play some other songs.

^^

Haha, don't we all?

well, hearing supernaut live would be rockin, and hand of doom... mmmmm... hand of doom

i totally agree, sweet leaf was the first one i heard of that album and thought it was cool but omg was i completly blown away when i heard children of the grave, into the void, and lord of this world. but my fave sabbath album changes every week, right now its never say die, last time it was dehumanizer bootleg with rob halford on vocals

off of 7th star iv'e only heard no stranger to love and was not that impressed by it, does it sound like that all the way thru or does it have some more sabbath type songs????

[QUOTE=rippa32]What does everyone think of the Dehuminizer Album.[/QUOTE]

that album rules dude, its so heavy i especially like computer god and I

I own Paranoid, masters of reality, and black sabbath an d i love them!

^ I own from Black Sabbath to Mob Rules.

Frail has even more than me.

I'd say that Vol.4, Never Say Die!, Sabotage and Heaven and Hell are my favourite albums.

[QUOTE=Lord Brummington]I'd say that Vol.4, Never Say Die!, Sabotage and Heaven and Hell are my favourite albums.[/QUOTE]

really vol 4?, i dont like it as much as the others, ive only listened to it once through and it wasnt that impressive to me

i'll listen to it again maybe it will be better
