Favorite Black Sabbath song or album. And why...
>tfw I missed out on tickets for Black Sabbath's last show because I couldn't afford them
It's literally a half hour drive from my house as well
I like Fairies Wear Boots tbqh.
Fairies wear boots and thrill of it all, because they have some beautiful kind of happy melancholy that just brings a wide smile on my face
Great all the way through, but side b is a powerhouse.
Their first four are all perfect desu.
Into the Void desu.
Vol. 4 kicks ass
>>66012614
OP here. That's one of my favorites as well.
>>66012614
The title track to this and Snowblind are my favorite Sabbath songs
They turned fucking lame when that midget from Elf took over guitar duties
The debut is my favourite. I love what they did later on, but the bluesiness of the s/t always wins me over
Anybody into Ian Gillan era Black Sabbath?

Love this album. I was young and just getting into it when this came out, so I may have a personal biased nostalgia for it... But I still love it veeeery much.
Iommi = Riffmaster Deluxe. Seriously, people are gonna realize when he passes no one laid it down like he did. Major pioneer.
>>66012074
Yes
>>66011992
Planet Caravan, and don't give me shit for it I get enough for my dad. That song touches my soul.
and yes Paranoid is their best album.
Their first 5 albums are all literally perfect. I've always loved Changes, Solitude, and Planet Caravan. They're such different songs compared to everything else but sound so great.[spoiler]Plus Solitude and Planet Caravan are great songs to get high to.[/spoiler]
Lord of this World, Fairies Wear Boots, Hand of Doom, Black Sabbath, and N.I.B. are a few other favorites. It's hard to really pick out favorites, especially from that group of first 5 albums. It amazes me that they were able to put out such consistently great albums in just under 4 years. I'd argue that the only band to really rival Black Sabbath in terms of consistent masterpieces in a short timespan is King Crimson.

Everyone always talks about Jimmy Page as THE insane riff-writer but Iommi seems to be left out of those conversations. I love Jimmy Page, but man, Iommi is so damn good.
Sabbath Bloody Sabbath.
Also Tony Martin albums are underrated.
>>66011992
Favorite song is Supernaut because it is the definition of cool and i want it to play at my funeral.
Favorite album is Sabbath Bloody Sabbath.
Fav song into the void
Fav album Vol 4
My favorite song is Neon Knights. I usually feel more drawn to guitars, but some times i hear soaring vocals that make want to sing till i lose my voice
Is the new EP ever getting an official public release? Right now its just sold at their shows so I assume it'll have to wait until after the tour.
Into the void. Name a metal riff that has come close to being as dominating as that
>>66011992
Master of Reality, just a great album. All killer no filler. Fat sound for the time. A lot of rockers on there, not the radio iron memes either
this live version is dope

has anyone gone seen them in their The End tour??
Trying to get a bunch of /mu/ into this broadcast. It's all vinyl, and he'll take any requests. I figure it could be a melting pot of all the different musical tastes on /mu/, and be really fucking cool if a bunch of people get on here.
The guy made a thread, but the broadcast is at: http://62.210.251.47/radio/16406/stream/301
So you can request here: https://us21.chatzy.com/59909875845885

War Pigs in Paris, 1971
>>66012049
I saw them on the final tour. Ozzy was singing pretty good compared to a few years ago, but when he tried to talk, he sounded like a dying 80 year old man.
>>66011992
Baffles me to know no one has said:
>War Pigs
Especially in this day and age.
Paranoid [Warner Bros., 1970]
They do take heavy to undreamt-of extremes, and I suppose I could enjoy them as camp, like a horror movie--the title cut is definitely screamworthy. After all, their audience can't take that Lucifer bit seriously, right? Well, depends on what you mean by serious. Personally, I've always suspected that horror movies catharsized stuff I was too rational to care about in the first place. C-
>>66021224
Yes. That entire set is just phenomenal.
>>66013953
Page had tapped out all his good riffs by 1975.
The Wizard
Objectively, who was the best singer they had?
>>66021989
Dio
>>66021934
Too bad they almost never played that live.
Probably Paranoid. Also seeing them tomorrow in Prague, I am hyped as fuck.
>>66021934
It's apparently about Jesus driving away demons.
Misty morning, clouds in the sky
Without warning, the wizard walks by
Casting his shadow, weaving his spell
Funny clothes, tinkling bell
Never talking
Just keeps walking
spreading his magic
Evil power disappears
Demons worry when the wizard is near
He turns tears into joy
Everyone's happy when the wizard walks by
Never talking
Just keeps walking
spreading his magic
Sun is shining, clouds have gone by
All the people give a happy sigh
He has passed by, giving his sign
Left all the people feeling so fine
Never talking
Just keeps walking
spreading his magic
into the void best song. have to go with paranoid got me into them. and void best song becuase the opening riff is just too much for my dick to handle
