>47 years ago
wew
First album was proto-metal
Paranoid was classic metal
Master was classic metal with more weed
Vol 4. was more drugs, better album
SBS was more of the same
Sabotage was were the drugs started affecting everything
Standard 70's syndrome: the later you survived into the 70's the worse the music business got and the more drugs you took, thus somewhere by your 4th to 7th album the magic is gone
True
Sabbath are the prototypical rock band that rose too fast and fucked themselves up. I'd kill for a Spinal Tap-ish movie about their career.
>tfw we will never see the lads pranking/bullying the shit out of Bill Ward while recording in a haunted castle
>tfw we will never see them royally fuck up the photoshoot for the Sabotage cover
>tfw we will never see Ozzy humming the string parts to a pissed off orchestra because no one in the band can write music
S/T > MoR > Paranoid >vol4
I remember reading an article once where they were so fucked up that they asked Ward if they could set him on fire. He said OK, so they did.
I also seem to remember something said as well that Ozzy either fell asleep or completely passed out during Sabotage while doing his vocals.
What I'd kill for is to be a fly on the wall when they were recording Sabbath Bloody Sabbath, and Yes was next door. Just thinking of Rick Wakeman hanging & drinking with Sabbath, then guesting on a song is kind of what the hell.
wrong
objectively
>but 420
>during either MoR recording sessions in the haunted castle Led Zep came over to jam and it was all recorded
>these recordings still havent been released
It hurts to be alive
My favorite Sabbath album
The perfect mix between Blues and Hard Rock desu
I always thought that it was Ozzy on the cover
Also I need to buy a Vertigo first press of this, but everything Vertigo swirl label related stuff is expensive as shit
Isn't Spinal Tap supposed to be parodying Black Sabbath, though?
Why is it that the U.S. version had Wicked World while the British version had Evil Woman?
What was up with that?
OH GOD NO PLEASE NO OH GOD NOT ME AHHHHHHH
Brits had a long standing tradition of picking the worst of all possible tracklistings for local releases
I've got Evil Woman on my copy. I'm from Canada. It isn't an original press, though
There are certainly references to Black Sabbath in the movie This is Spinal Tap but for the most part it was really a spoof of Status Quo
