geezers a good man but not much more than dio's

[QUOTE=TerryThorne]Who do you guy's think was a better lyricist, Geezer or Dio? I love Geezer's lyrics a whole lot more thn Dio.[/QUOTE]

Butler in Sabbath, but dio in other things.

Geezers lyrics are amazing. I've noticed that any time he's been working with Ozzy, the lyrics produced are always great.

Dio's lyrics are more fantasy/d&d style which is also great.

lots of dragons and knights and crap like that

I'd say dio is more gothic romance

Its not crap!

[QUOTE=SRSharp2006]I've never really understood what's so great about Tony Iommi. The band in general is great, as far as helping to create heavy metal...but Tony Iommi is just a simple little solo and a three or four chords. Paranoid is only two...for christ sake.[/QUOTE]
He is a great guitarist. Of course he is not as fast as eg. yngwie malmsteen, but what would he need that for? Malmsteen's music gets boring, so does Satriani's in my opinion. And Tony Iommi's riffs don't get like that in Sabbath. They all sound great. And his solos. Unbelievably matching any song he writes, listenable (though as far as I hear they are based on pentatonic scale). Just cool. The one from Zero the Hero is a masterpiece, for example.

Edit: Andy, you are a power metal fan. So you gotta like killing evil princesses to save the beautiful dragons from them in metal lyrics. I personally don't.

he creates catchy riffs, thats what a great guitarist does.

I'd go with Dio.

By the way, as you can see, i'm finally unbanned, it should have happened around tuesday.

Welcome back from the land of being banned.

try the master of reality album or the black sabbath album

[QUOTE=Lord Brummington]Its not crap![/QUOTE]


the word crap in the sentence meant "other assorted goodies"

i was just watching battle for ozzfest and i saw the drummer from black sabbath, man does he look like $hit! he is a really good drummer though.

^Dude, he's 56.

and hes had a stroke

And many years of alcohol and drug abuse.

Fun fact: Tony and Bill have been in bands together since they were both 16, they're now both 56.

And its Black Sabbath's 35th anniversary this year.

thats pretty good. they must be one of the longest running bands. lord brum, have you not been drinking since new years eve?!?!?
neither have i actually. wow.

Nope, I don't intend drinking again for a few more months.

I think Black Sabbath are one of the longest running bands with all original members alive and able to play in the band.

So for the musicians in here...

What is your favorite Sabbath song to play on your instrument? Mine is probably Sabbath Bloody Sabbath.

The Warning

I'd have to say Electric funeral or iron man..

iron man, war pigs, n.i.b.

Iron Man is good on bass, I've got the outro up to speed :)

My favorurite sabbath song on guitar is supernaut, spiral architect or hand of doom :)

intro bass on nib is fun as hell to play

I love to play iron man just because ive added so much to the song ever since ive been playing it it goes for about 10 min (i love jamming to sabbath songs :) )

I love playing Iron Man, and actually Paranoia too, even though it is the easiest Sabbath song there is...

And I'm a bass player, by the way

I love playing NIB or War Pigs on guitar
