Hahaha I'll most likely change it back at some point. Just wanted a change.
Just watched a documentary on the making of the Paranoid album.
It one in their own way are, in my opinion the best at what they do.
Gezzer on the bass, there is no other bass player that attacks the strings of a bass like he does.
Bill W on the drums, he is an animal banging them drums
Bill along with Gezzer are a driving force, the time signature changes, all of them playing, singing those riffs together, just wow.
Tony on the guitar, the riff master if there ever was one.
Last but not least Ozzy, a voice that can sound sinister, to soft and sweet depending on the song.
They changed music forever, singing about life as they saw it in the 60s and 70s. War, destruction, kids in Nam doing drugs, fear, pain, gangs. heavy stuff for sure.
Everyone else was singing bright happy pop tunes on the radio, and here come something totally different, critics hated them, parents, priests and nuns hated them.
The more they hated them the more we loved them!!
I was 10 in 70 when my best bud cam running down the street with a Sabbath album yelling " You got to heat this, you got to hear this"
I've not been the same since, every time I get in the Mustang I have to play some Sabbath, just have to. My daughter has a "dads play list" for in the car. half is Ozzy!
I bought an all black Tomy Iommi SG guitar, with inlaid crosses with hot Humbucker pickups to reproduce that sound.
Love em, hate em, there is no other like em.
