      YES!!! Master Of Reality is their BEST!

      And I think Children of the grave is probably the centerpiece (literally too) of that record.
      It should also be heard with its "bookends", consecutively: "Embryo", (Children...), "Orchid".
      Just as Pink Floyd's awesome "Time" should always be heard, back to back, with "The Great Gig In The Sky".

    N.I.B. was named after Bill Ward's beard it was in the shape of a pen nib. So they called it NIB.
    They didn't know what to name the song. Someone suggested putting the punctuation between each letter.
    They didn't have any meaning to the acronym. Some fans thought it meant Nativity in Black but Geezer Butler the writer of the song denies that is what the acronym means.

    To Andy's question about having such great tracks on a debut, that happened more often than not back then as bands would accumulate dozens of songs - sometimes over years trying to get a record deal. So they could grab their absolute best of that bunch for the debut. The secret is coming up with a great 2nd album with sometimes only a few months to write it - while touring!

    Depending on what source you read N.I.B. has come to be widely accepted as meaning "Nativity In Black" like
    VeryUs Mumblings has already mentioned below. I have also read that it was a slang word of the day to describe a type of beard that Bill Ward had at the time. The band called him "Nibby" because they thought his beard looked like the nib on the end of a pen. Either way the song kicks ass. Oh and by the way it took Sabbath only 12 hours to record their first album. 4 months later they went back into the studio to record their second album, "Paranoid". This took a little bit longer to crank out. They spent 5 whole days to make that masterpiece. Lets see bands do that today. Great job guys. Keep them coming. \m/ \m/

    According to Wikipedia: When the song was first released, its title was widely rumoured to have stood for "Nativity in Black", or to a lesser extent "Name in Blood". In a 1992 interview, Geezer Butler states that the title simply refers to Bill Ward's goatee at the time, which the rest of the band thought was shaped like a pen nib; also referred to as nibby.[7] Apparently, Geezer Butler said: "Originally it was Nib, which was Bill's beard. When I wrote N.I.B., I couldn't think of a title for the song, so I just called it Nib, after Bill's beard. To make it more intriguing I put punctuation marks in there to make it N.I.B. By the time it got to America, they translated it to 'Nativity in Black'."

Creativity is rarely static and is almost always collaborative. But you are all-knowing and omnipresent so you would know exactly how the songs were produced. What I know, because I have seen and heard it with my eyes and ears is Ozzy playing with words as music is playing. That IS literally writing lyrics. Yes, I know Butler was the primary lyricist in Sabbath. Was the structure there? For sure. But Ozzy certainly contributed to the lyrical process. Even, if he didn't so what? His primary talent is in the melody and his innate sense of what is sonically good, what is working and what isn't.

    What you heard here was Black Sabbath direct off the road. They served an apprenticeship just like Led Zep and Deep Purple in crappy venues all over the UK. When they got enough money to buy studio time, they went in and did what they’d done the night before in a pub somewhere. I was lucky enough to see a lot of these bands in the 70's and their energy and what was then a new genre of music was a night out to die for.

    A new old song, is how I see this... I'd never heard it. It's good!
    My first though was that the opening reminded me of Deep Purple's "Smoke on the Water"... but I looked it up, and if anything, the influence went the other way, this song was released a year before "Smoke"... That's when I realized that both this song, and Smoke on the Water's openings sound like "Sunshine of Your Love", released by Cream three years before! I love how from our enviable position of hindsight, these groups influenced each other as much as they did bands that would follow. Not plagiarism, but a creative symbiosis fueled by the times... Not to mention similar experimentation with controlled substances. ;-]

  • @geol1936
    @geol1936 Před 4 lety +3

    Guys - put it into this context: in the first Rolling Stone review of Sabbath's debut album, Lester Bangs panned it a "bit," and got it wrong:
    Black Sabbath, ‘Black Sabbath’ (1970)
    Lester Bangs is one of the most esteemed rock writers in history, but even he didn't quite get Black Sabbath when he heard their first record back in 1970.
    "Over across the tracks in the industrial side of Cream country lie unskilled laborers like Black Sabbath, which was hyped as a rockin' ritual celebration of the Satanic mass or some such claptrap, something like England's answer to Coven. Well, they're not that bad, but that's about all the credit you can give them. The whole album is a shuck - despite the murky song titles and some inane lyrics that sound like Vanilla Fudge paying doggerel tribute to Aleister Crowley, the album has nothing to do with spiritualism, the occult, or anything much except stiff recitations of Cream clichés that sound like the musicians learned them out of a book, grinding on and on with dogged persistence. Vocals are sparse, most of the album being filled with plodding bass lines over which the lead guitar dribbles wooden Claptonisms from the master's tiredest Cream days. They even have discordant jams with bass and guitar reeling like velocitized speedfreaks all over each other's musical perimeters yet never quite finding synch - just like Cream! But worse." -Lester Bangs
    P.S. That being said, I like Cream's albums better than Sabbath.

    They developed their sound by just playing. Anywhere, anytime. And they got good real quick. There is a live version of them covering Blue Suede Shoes just about the time they renamed the band Black Sabbath ( from the name Earth ). It is a smoking performance. The debut album was basically the set they played at gigs. Straight off the floor with a few double tracks for guitar and the intro. Recorded and mixed in 2 days. Black Sabbath’s first 6 albums when looked at as a whole, you have to be amazed at the trajectory they went on in terms of writing and getting tighter and more technical as a band than any other I could think of other than Pink Floyd.

    Wow, when you said the bass was fat, you were not kidding!!! This song is even more amazing knowing that they recorded this in one session! I have a few criticisms though. I wish the bass was heard more throughout the song cause after the intro, I couldn't hear it anymore. I agree about the transitions being rushed, the ending with the cymbals was more noticeable than the other ones. Also, I wasn't crazy about the drums because of what Bill Ward is capable of. Maybe it's cause that was the vibe they were going for, more laid back and raw. Other than that, great song and great reaction video guys! Have a good one Andy and Alex!!! :)
