Has anyone actually been to a recent Black Sabbath concert? Are they any good live still?

awesome thread sabbath owns the only bad thing is when they get stereotyped as like a hair band i kno its sounds ridiculous but kids at my school look at them in that way.

Probably because of the way they dressed onstage sometimes, still that was only occasional. Btw are thes kids into Nu-Metal at all?

i really need some more alice cooper albums, i only have billion dollar babies and trash (im sure Jon bon jovi sings on one of the tracks from trash, sounds alot like him)

any suggestions which i should get Andy (im sure ve asked before but it will be over a hundred pages back by now)

I didnt think sabbath were doing anything atm, i thought Iommi and Geezer were doing solo stuff

Love it to Death
Killer
School's Out
Welcome to my Nightmare
Goes to Hell
Hey Stoopid
The Last Temptation
Dragontown

They're the essential must-own-or-you-suck-bell Alice Cooper albums (in my opinion)

ok, to amazon!!!

Well it's nice to see this thread going again. Does anyone here have the Never Say Die! DVD and know what type of pickups Iommi's guitar has in them for that concert?

i just realised i havnt actually made any Sabbath related purchases in months, everytime i am about to buy one i see some obscure power metal band that calls to me :upset:

when i get some money im gonna make a huge effort to buy heaven and hell...and maybe never say die or technical esctasy

I would suggest Heaven and Hell first.

what?

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.

.......you don't like the Dio stuff? Or the Tony Martin stuff?

Wow.

[QUOTE=Brew]Am I Going Insane (Radio) is a great song![/QUOTE]

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.
