    • @barryrammer7906
      @barryrammer7906 Před rokem +1

      @Anthony Silva yes he would hum along during song in practice for a melody. Geezer wrote at least 90% of the lyrics. BTW, so did Bob Daisly he get ripped off by Sharon. Bob Daisly is hired now by Ozzy to write his lyrics a few LPS ago you wont see him in the credits because he paid salaries. But when Bob was in the band, he wrote most if not all lyrics got no credit. I love Ozzy, but he can't write his own lyrics, nothing wrong with that. He was a great entertainer, a pretty good singer in his day. I got some inside ball for you. I'm a musician for 30 or so years. I never made it big but had my moments cd some national air play and backing major acts in arenas in the day. Here's the scoop Ozzy has a singer. he pays a 150k to go into the studio and fix some of his work, and even pro-tools can't fix it. I have people in the know, but I have not seen it myself, so it's just BS until it's confirmed. That will never happen; we all get ole. But I trust this friend close to Ozzys camp. So take it or leave it BS ? I don't know, but this guy is a close friend. If he's lying to me, I'm going to piss in his beer, lol rock on my brother cheers 🍻

    This was a great 15 minutes of super entertainment, Andrew! Thanks! I loved it!
    No one who has any sense of music can doubt that this song is the first metal song and the first metal album. No one in 1969 was doing anything like this. Things started as Tony Iommi and Bill Ward, both essentially jazz/blues players who knew each other as kids and lived near each other going over to Ozzy (John) Osbourne's house to answer an ad Ozzy posted on a wall, saying "Ozzy Zig needs a gig." Interestingly, Tony Iommi (a real musician's musician who plays excellent flute and is a decent keyboard player as well) started out wanting to be a drummer, but couldn't afford drums as teenager, so he shifted over to guitar, and then added flute (he was briefly in Jethro Tull for this versatility before deciding he wanted his own band and to be the boss instead of Ian Anderson). At first when they met him, and Iommi realized that he knew him from school, one year behind Iommi, Iommi said to Ward, "Forget it; I know this guy, and he can't sing." But later, Osbourne showed up at Iommi's house (Bill Ward happened to be there at the time) with a well regarded local rhythm guitarist, Terry "Geezer" Butler, who suggested he could switch over to bass, at which point, Iommi said, "OK, let's give it a go." Amazingly, Iommi, Butler and Ward (amazingly, all teenagers from the same neighborhood in post war bombed out industrial Birmingham, which Iommi later described as "a real shithole") had unbelievable live chemistry. Iommi asked Butler to write the lyrics because he thought of him as "the smart one" of the group, who Iommi thought would end up being an accountant or a similar career.
    Iommi and Butler had the idea, based on their growing up in this awful area, to rebel against the flower, peace and love generation and "write music about the darker side of life". Across the road from their rented rehearsal space was a movie theater showing an old Boris Karloff horror movie called "Black Sabbath". Seeing the people lining up to buy tickets, Iommi and Butler came up with the idea of writing "horror music". This was aided by the fact that Iommi had the middle two fingertips of his fret playing hand severed in a work accident, which caused him a lot of pain to try to play with. He melted down a plastic soap bottle and tied leather over the top to fashion his own homemade prosthetic fingertips, and detuned drastically to loosen the strings, and even at one point had to use banjo strings, which are much lighter, until he could also "invent" superlight flex strings to lessen the pain. This not only created a heavier, creepier effect, but it gave him an unparalleled ability to bend and wobble notes; and it also helped Osbourne greatly, who had trouble hitting higher notes and staying in key.
    Bill Ward described his playing as "complimentary" to whatever Iommi was doing. For example, he said, when Iommi would play louder, Ward would play softer, to make the guitar sound even louder. He would also try new things, like in this instance, where the drumming was made more ominous by adding a little echo in the spaces between the guitar notes.

By the way, for when you get to the classic track at the end of side one, which is "NIB", Butler named the song after Bill Ward's beard, which he said looked like a pencil nib, haha! That song's lyrics, as described by Butler, are about the devil falling in love with a human woman. The lyric you missed on this track was "Figure in black which points at me. Turn round quick and start to run. Find out I'm the chosen one."

That engineer recorded us in his garage for $25 /hr. It cost us $225 bucks. The engineer went on to be a Grammy award winning engineer. Gary's Ridgeway on Bandcamp if you want to hear it. Just like Tony Williams Believe It, we left in the mistakes. It was all done in one take, except for two songs, we had to start over. WAY before Protools.

      It was - because they had to get on a ferry in order to make their date in a club in Germany.
      I have 2 albums in my collection done in 24 hours ("Needletime" by Warsaw Pakt" - who did Direct To Digital so that the record was in the shops [one or two] 24 hours after they went into the studio, and "24 Hours" by Transmitter) They both sound hurried and nothing like as complete as this.

    Oo so glad you’re starting at the beginning! This is gonna be quite the road to travel! Youre gonna love this Andrew :)
    As an aside, at some point you should check out Pink Floyd Live At Pompeii … recorded in 1972, mostly at the coliseum in Pompeii, with some studio embellishments. Some of Nick Mason’s drumming (and Im thinking specifically of Saucerful Of Secrets, and secondarily, Set The Controls For The Heart Of The Sun) is quite extraordinary, and not what you generally associate with Pink Floyd from Dark Side, on…

  • @OldManBadly
    @OldManBadly Před rokem

    What is most important about all of this is that this was a type of music that had not been made before at all. Each of the players is in fact setting the standard for what metal music is even today. You can find that most of the riffs of this single album are the source material and inspiration for pretty much all of it since. The cord progressions, the drum sound, the freewheeling bass... It's the blueprint for more than 50 years of a style.

    This band was my group’s theme music in high school…in the early 90’s.
    I’m so glad you’re discovering them.
    Because of the name and the theatrics and Ozzy’s later reputation for insanity, I don’t think they get the respect as amazing artists that they should. I remember when becoming a huge fan of their music how much I loved getting 3 different songs in every track.
    I distinctly remember getting this fantastic horror movie vibe hearing this first track of the album.
    I was hooked.

    In that 70's live gig you watched Ozzy missed the words all over that show, they had lots of not ideal moments and you don't notice because its the groove and they don't lose the grove. It give it like we are making this up moments where you know this has never been heard before or will this exact way again. Live individual performance of a song.

    Andrew, As you're a drummer does "Limb Independance" mean the same thing as "muscle memory"? Like a Vocal Coach said practiced singers don't think about every individual nuance, placement, it just comes to naturally. They hit the notes they want 'cos their vocal-chords - muscle-memory kicks in & knows their job!!

    Still my favorite Black Sabbath album I think. People will probably mention different ones, where Sabbath is more 'defined', but I think there was just some beauty in there search for their identity - Black Sabbath, Wizard, NIB - each song sounds so different it could've been by three different artists. I love this album.
    Plus Black Sabbath (song) is the only song I know that has a little 'jump scare', at the end ;) The creepiest song ever, in my opinion.

    This album hit me when I was 13-14 around 1970. From being a 60s pop lover who loved the harder tracks by Kinks, Beatles etc this really was perfect for my curious mind. Sabbath, Purple, Zeppelin, UFO, Judas Priest, Uriah Heep etc took me on a musical journey in heavy music that continues to this day. And, yes, Soundgarden was very influenced by Black Sabbath.
