the chase Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 I thought it was a nice tribute to Black Sabbath.. It was nice to hear something by them other than Paranoid on National TV.. They probably had a 4-5 minute limit.. so there was a lot of chopping but it still sounded pretty good to me.. Different in a good way.. Taylor Hawkins did a great job. The fact that they were playing it mattered more to me than the actual performance.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the chase Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 To be honest I really love the first four albums, and haven't been so crazy about the more recent stuff...13 is ok. On another subject, has anyone else read Iommi's memoir? I read it recently and thought it was wildly entertaining! I did and agree. It was a great read. I don't think many people realize how close friends Iommi and John Bonham were. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geekfreak Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 yes great read, 13 is a great album too!. there are two great bands of `70`s whom I`ve been into since the `73 Zeppelin and Sabbath who yes... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greengrass Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 I agree with ScarletMacaw "To be honest I really love the first four albums, and haven't been so crazy about the more recent stuff..." And to be a tad more honest , I thought they sucked after Vol.4 They werent the same band after Vol4. I dunno , but i do like Heaven and Hell though , that was a hell of an album Im kinda glad Ozzy left BS cause most of the solo Ozzy stuff was spot on .

ScarletMacaw Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 I'm sorry; I could not listen to the "Hayseed Dixie" version beyond five seconds. The Faith No More version is ok, but I don't see the purpose in doing a cover version of a song unless you're going to make it different...for example what Jimi Hendrix did to Dylan's "All Along the Watchtower" or what the Talking Heads and Foghat respectively did to Al Green's "Take me to the River" (3 totally different versions of that tune, all of which are great!). Why would you listen to Faith No More imitate Black Sabbath when you could just listen to Black Sabbath? I really loved the candor and humor in Iommi's memoir, as well as the information. I've come to the realization that I don't like metal. I don't consider the early Sabbath to be metal and as far as I'm aware neither does Iommi; he calls them a rock band. I believe "metal" has been an attempt to make rock music more white and get rid of its soul, which I find both offensive and boring in its results. I think the reason I haven't liked the later Sabbath as much is it starts to sound more metal-y. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greengrass Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 "Why would you listen to Faith No More imitate Black Sabbath when you could just listen to Black Sabbath?" Uh... because i like Faith No More and as for your opinion of metal , ask me if i care. Ya might stay away from Tribute to Black Sabbath: Eternal Masters and Nativity in Black , it'll probably further ruffle your feathers. Btw , isn't imitation the sincerest form of flattery? Oh looky more metal bands imitating Black Sabbath. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScarletMacaw Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 (edited) It was a rhetorical question, Wally; I wasn't asking for an answer. Feel free to listen to bad covers of Black Sabbath tunes. I found the Biohazard one particularly egregious, but whatever floats your boat. I'm sure the members of Black Sabbath are all for it, not because it's flattery but because they get royalties. I can't resist a debate however, so let me add that in addition to trying to take the black out of rock and roll, I also think metal is an attempt to masculinize it. Hence the posturing of groups such as Metallica with their smirky innuendos ("Load", "Cunning Stunts" etc). Edited to note that I do like a few metal bands, mostly foreign, such as Rammstein. They have a sense of humor. Edited October 16, 2014 by ScarletMacaw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greengrass Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 I was just feeding your rhetorical question with a rhetorical response Scarlet. Im not here to debate ca-ca with you or anyone else. You like what you like , i'll like what like. K Im just here for the music and bad Sabbath covers. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GoSMBAaCA7U Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luvlz2 Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 (edited) Black Sabbath Guitarist Tony Iommi Composes New Music For 'Csi' Tv Series Legendary Black Sabbath guitarist Tony Iommi has issued the following update: "People have been asking what exactly I'm doing at the moment. Well, I'm getting back in the studio, having tried to make myself rest after the tours. I'm writing, mostly just putting ideas down rather than complete songs. "I like to create all sorts of moods with my music and then decide later how they might be used. One specific piece, though, is for the 'Csi' ['Crime Scene Investigation'] TV series that will be aired in the U.S. on November 2nd. "I was asked if I'd be interested, so I had a look at the footage and came up with an idea they seemed to like. It's not very long, but it was different working with images rather than just music. I'd certainly be up for doing more." http://www.blabbermouth.net/news/black-sabbath-guitarist-tony-iommi-composes-new-music-for-csi-tv-series/ Edited October 30, 2014 by luvlz2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So are the next four. Sabbath Bloody Sabbath is my favourite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chillumpuffer Posted November 7, 2014 Share Posted November 7, 2014 Pictures from the 78 tour. I am afraid to say that Van Halen blew them off the stage. Though it was the first time the UK had seen Van Halen and Ozzy was either in or out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charles J. White Posted November 8, 2014 Share Posted November 8, 2014 I have been slowly getting into Sabbath, never thought I would like them, but at the urging of few folks around here, I have been giving them a try. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScarletMacaw Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 Thanks for the pics, Wally. Tony looks hot in the first one! The group pics are pretty funny. I don't like Ronny James Dio's singing so I mainly listen to the 70s albums. My favorites now are the eponymous debut album, Paranoid and Vol. IV which I prefer slightly over Masters of Reality. I also like the last one, Never Say Die! even though apparently a lot of people didn't. It's different from the earlier albums, but in an interesting way. I've been slowly getting into 13. Don't really like some of the tunes but others are ok. They're supposedly going to do another album but now Ozzy is going to do two months more of reality tv...why oh why? It was awful enough the first time! Maybe it's an excuse to spend more time with his kids. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't listen to a lot of the Dio era stuff either, but Heaven and Hell is just a masterpiece, IMO the quintessential metal song. Just so epic! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VUjUIP2ugG4 Edited November 9, 2014 by Sathington Willoughby Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
