Stargazer Posted November 22, 2007 Share Posted November 22, 2007 I love sabbath. And the ozzy years are the best, but I love the dio years as well. ozzy's voice is a integral part of the charm of the early sabbath stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will stick with the first 4 albums as thembeing at their peak, lost interst after that. First saw them in 1972. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manderlyh Posted November 23, 2007 Author Share Posted November 23, 2007 My dad's favorite was No.4. I remember scouring record stores for the tape version of it when I was a kid at Christmas or his birthday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tea For One Posted November 23, 2007 Share Posted November 23, 2007 (edited) For me it's the Ozzy years all the way. But then I'm from near B'ham and he's a local hero (along with the rest of Sabbath, Plant & Bonham). That run of the first six albums is just unbelievable. Hard to pick a favourite, but I think it may be "Master Of Reality". On a slightly different topic; I think my favourite Sabbath-influenced bands have got to be Soundgarden and then the whole Palm Desert scene - Kyuss, Queens Of The Stone Age etc. Is it me or is Josh Homme (and his crew) the only current artist worth listening to? I know that's not strictly true, but it sometimes seems that way. Edited November 23, 2007 by Tea For One Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leddy Posted November 23, 2007 Share Posted November 23, 2007 (edited) Although I am a Dio years fan and not Ozzy I did got to see Sabbath with Ozzy as it had to be done, also I have been to the Ozzfest to see him too. I like his guitarest Zk Wylde and think he is a great player !! I love one of Zaks solo songs called Horse called War, what a riff, love playing that !! Oh and the one time I went to see sabbath with Dio as singer, when we got there at the hall, it was cancelled due to floor stage problems, we were gutted. We got a refund and bought tickets to see Thunder the week after. But Dio stayed on and met us to say sorry and autographed stuff for us.

GetTheLedOut Posted November 23, 2007 Share Posted November 23, 2007 Love Ozzy. Hate Dio. It's the exact opposite for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thorzep Posted November 23, 2007 Share Posted November 23, 2007 It's the exact opposite for me. Hey GTLO! It seems that we have different taste in music. That's cool. In fact, it has inspired me to revisit some of the material that I have dismissed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DoubleNecker Posted November 25, 2007 Share Posted November 25, 2007 The fathers of metal. What's not to like about them? Of course, their Ozzy era is pretty much the best you could ask for. End of story. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

End of story. Seconded. Ozzy wrote some great lyrics too. He deserves more credit for that. And of course Tony Iommi created the metal guitar sound, which changed everything.

wendigo Posted November 25, 2007 Share Posted November 25, 2007 Hey, Black Sabbath! My personal favs are "The Wizard", "Paranoid", "Fairies Wear Boots" , "Sabbath Bloody Sabbath" and "Sweet Leaf". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ady Posted November 26, 2007 Share Posted November 26, 2007 Seconded. Ozzy wrote some great lyrics too. He deserves more credit for that. It was actually Geezer Butler who wrote most of the lyrics. Ozzy came up with the vocal melodies though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Posted November 26, 2007 Share Posted November 26, 2007 I've always loved the transition between Paranoid and Master Of Reality... When Tony started dropping his tuning 1 1/2 steps... Awesome stuff! (Can't beat starting an album with someone coughing their lungs up either!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ady Posted November 26, 2007 Share Posted November 26, 2007 I've always loved the transition between Paranoid and Master Of Reality... When Tony started dropping his tuning 1 1/2 steps... Awesome stuff! Yeah, it's an amazing sound and very revolutionary! Budgie's debut album, which came out just one month before 'Master Of Reality' has a very similar sound. They had the same producer at the time, so it's probably no coincidence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manderlyh Posted November 26, 2007 Author Share Posted November 26, 2007 (edited) What can I say? They're fucking excellent and you're a moron if you don't like em! Oh Jan. Judgmental, are we? Hey, Black Sabbath! My personal favs are "The Wizard", "Paranoid", "Fairies Wear Boots" , "Sabbath Bloody Sabbath" and "Sweet Leaf". Good songs indeed, wendigo! I'm glad to see that many agree with my opinion about early Sabbath. I still have the Black Box on my wish list. I am not too familliar with Sabbath with Dio, but what I've heard of it, I don't like as much. Edited November 26, 2007 by manderlyh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they're definitely a 'grower'... Some great riffs! If I'm not mistaken, didn't Tony revert back to standard(ish) tuning for the Dio stuff..? I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong...

Ady Posted November 26, 2007 Share Posted November 26, 2007 Cool.. I'll have to check that album out! Check out their official myspace page: http://www.myspace.com/budgieofficialmyspace The track 'Guts' is the first song from their debut album. There is also the classic 'Breadfan' from their third album from 1973 and two tracks from their most recent album, which came out last year.
