Black Sabbath

[Skidfingers McGonical]

Blaxk Sabbath owe me an hour of my life

 

That new album is 8/10 bags of shite.

 

Dissappointed to say the least.

[SCOUSE TAPAS]

What about all the yellow sticky notes stuck on the drums bollocks,was that bollocks ? and 'Sabbath Bloody Sabbath' is the heaviest Beatles album ever made ! :whistle:

Bonham broke Wards drums while playing them once and Ward would never let him near his drums again.

True story.

[Juniper]

I love Sabbath and have seen them loads of times.

 

Bill Ward? The harsh truth is that Sabbath are the voice of Ozzy and Iommi's guitar. Geezer has settled for what he can get. Ward is by no means an irreplaceable drummer' date=' Moon wasn't for The Who, Bonham wasn't for Zep. Ward is out of pocket financially and by loses exposure by not doing a deal. His loss.[/quote']

 

What an absolute load of rubbish.

[Mook]

I'd always heard that this album was shite but I listened to some of it last night and it was fucking class. Ordered it today.

 

[Mook]

I can confirm that Technical Ecstasy is pretty fucking good.

 

I like Bill Ward's tune 'It's Alright' despite the slagging that it gets.

 

I can't fucking believe what Xerxes posted in this thread, worse than some of the stuff on the breakfast threads all things considered.

Black Sabbath 70

Paranoid 70

Master Of Reality 71

Vol.4 72

Sabbath Bloody Sabbath 73

 

Five classic timeless albums in such a short space of time.  Recently started a vinyl collection and these five are easily the first choices to kick start it.

[TheHowieLama]

Ozzy and his son Jack have a reality program on here -- they visited our ranch in the last episode.

 

True story

[Mook]

I'm quite lucky in that my missus loves Sabbath so I can put them on pretty much whenever I want. Fairies Wear Boots is her favourite song by anybody, we had it on at our wedding (not the first dance like).

 

I would definitely add Sabotage & Technical Ecstasy to that list of albums, Vol.4 is probably my favourite out of the lot though.

[thegreatelephant]

bit the bullet and forked out for this cunt last year

 

 

immense bit of kit

[Grinch]

That box set looks immense but I just couldn't justify that sort of money in one whack.

 

They're a bit like the Beatles for me, I could name a different favourite album depending on my mood.  Master Of Reality if I was pushed on having one and one only.   

[Mook]

This footage has just turned up in the last couple of weeks apparently, Children of the Grave live in '76...

 

[Mook]

Has anybody watched the last gig which has been showing on Sky Arts over the weekend?

 

I watched it last night & it was fucking kicking, I'm a bit gutted I never went to see them in Glasgow now.

[Grinch]

Yea me too, I assumed they were too old and just doing it for the money tbh.

Sabotage followed by Sabbath bloody Sabbath is their best work for me

[Juniper]

For me it’s Vol 4

 

Great songs, great playing, great production.

 

Gets played regularly.

Aye, Vol.4 is my favourite too, right between their early sound & the more adventurous stuff on their later albums.

 

I've just read Mick Wall's book on them, worth a read although the early 70s appears to have gone by in a bit of a blur for everyone (unsurprisingly).

Nice one Mook, I’ll check that out.

It's called Symptom of the Universe, I've read it as well mate and I can highly recommend it, a really good read.

[Mook]

I got it in Fopp in a 2 books for a fiver deal, if you're near Shaftsbury Avenue it might be worth checking out if they have it there @Juniper

And also read his Led Zeppelin book too, called When Giants walked the Earth, that's a cracking read too.

He's written several music biographies including Prince, Lemmy and others. All are well written, whether you like the artist(s) in question or not.

Cheers again mate. 

 

Bought an ebook version earlier from Amazon for about £3.30.

 

Looking forward to getting round to reading it.

I remember Mick Wall from my Kerrang buying days of the late 80's, he was a really good journo with impeccable taste in music.

 

I saw Black Sabbath in Hyde Park in 2014. They were brilliant considering they were booze-addled, coke-addled geriatrics. Great day out with Motorhead, Faith No More and Soundgarden in support, makes me sad that both Lemmy and Chris Cornell were both dead within less than 3 years.  

 

I'm off to see Ozzy on his No More Tours tour in Manchester next week, looking forward to that as Zakk Wylde is one of my favourite guitarists. Judas Priest in support as well which is a big fucking bonus.
