      Loyal subscriber since 2020. I've posted your RUclips URL and videos (interviews, mostly) on Hoffman's site, and all the rest. I don't understand why people won't listen to the source (an interview), but rely on 2nd hanf information, or total nonsense like that awful movie, "the doors" while you have Ray and Robbie's interviews, and many others. Great interviews by someone who ... knows the music! Which is so rare these days. I only have 2.5k subscribers, but I'd be happy to advertise your site in any way I can.
      And one of my favorites - Carln! I wonder if you have any interviews with Mort Sahl? I'm going to guess no, but I'll dream. Universal Studios lost millions of archives in recent fires, and there's so many others. I paid for this Pacifica Archive of a Mort Sahl interview, but they had to refund it back, since the reel went bad - lost history forever. They're all rotting in Universities, or being hoarded by guys who sell a 90-minute show for $400. I'm actually waiting for 2 packages today in the mail..

      What a great album! Unfortunately, it’s arguably the most buried album of their Ozzy years, and though I see more talk of Sabotage, if you think that deserves the title, fair enough. I think Technical Ecstasy and Never Say Die! are talked more about due to the dislike of them, but I actually quite liked Never Say Die!, but I think it’s disliked because of how uncharacteristic it is

    • @rubensjunior8586
      @rubensjunior8586 2 года назад +4

      @@Jipwell I do believe Master is criminally underlooked, indeed. But it's mainly because it comes after Paranoid, at least people give credit to Children of the Grave, but the whole thing is genius. Sabotage has great status, and it grew on the pass of the years. The most underestimated of the albums by far is Technical Ecstasy, it is a great album, only different, and a bit "trendy", but it has Sabbath in it. Never Say Die I didn't listen enough to know for sure.

    In 19 seven I was 12 years old, and I only listen to pop music. I knew every song every word I sang so much my brothers wouldn’t allow me to listen to the radio. One day, a friend of mine called me up and said you got to come down here and listen to this little did I know the journey that this was going to take me on. I ran home plug the eight track into my player and war pigs came on. From that moment on my life instantly change music was I couldn’t get enough of it and to this day I’m still into metal at 64 years old.

I love how you go into minute detail, cover the facts and make corrections, even if it was the band at fault. Also, how you break everything down. For instance, you just didn't say Tony played flute and moved on, you actually went into detail of the origin of it, and how he played with Ian Anderson. Love your hard work and research on this.

      Totally agree, I've always loved Solitude. Though I always loved Sabbath's typical sound, songs like Solitude, Changes, and Planet Caravan really made me feel something. Opposed to the heavier songs about War and the afterlife made me think. And due to those experiences it forever changed how I appreciated and approached music. To where I was no longer going to be satisfied with just a catchy beat or chord progression.

      You were one of the lucky kids back then. Most parents were a drag,
      especially fathers who had nothing better to do than to tell their kids
      what they could, or could not listen to. A lot of kids grew up with that
      mental bs in being told every month to get a haircut, even if your hair
      did not need it. The same old bs of not trusting the younger generation.
      The threats that went with it as well. Getting thrown out of the house bs.
      What a f%#king drag some kids had to go through growing up. You didn't
      get a penny for anything. Not an album, not a concert, but only for a
      f#%king haircut. Sorry about the cussing, but it sucked. How many females
      are still pissed that they could not see the Beatles live? That broke a lot of
      hearts out there. Every time I hear the Stones, or Led Zepplin sing
      Heartbreaker, I think of them for a moment.

I was an only son who loved partying and had three straight A cheerleader sisters who could do no wrong. My parents actually sent me away to school in the 8th grade because they thought I was retarded or something. It was great being away from them with kids who dug rock and roll. I rebelled and spent most of my time drunk or high as an escape as I was so unhappy at home. I joined the Army at 18 and never looked back. We all had it tough during the "Devil music" era. I had a friend who's Mom would freak out if her son played "Sweet, Ballroom Blitz". Another friends Dad hit him with a bat when he heard him play Zeppelin.

Vol. 4 and Debut are my absolute favourite albums that they did, so much mystery surrounding the vol. 4 era and from the little things I know it was a crazy time for the band.

    As a musician this is the record that inspired me to be a musician, it is one of the greatest albums of all time, it is right next to one of my other favorites of all time, Master happens to be in the title as well. "Master Of Puppets - Metallica" both Bass players are the reason I am a musician, 50 years of this quintessential masterpiece is still listened to by millions of people. Gezzer Butler and Cliff Burton are where I get my most influences from. Rounding out the bottom end of every band I have played in over the last 42 years I owe my love for music to this album, because without it I would not have been who I am today. Thank you for this video, and thank you Black Sabbath for what you have done to the music landscape over the last 50+ years. Without your band, we would not have had the same music and inspired so many other artists.

I still discovering new subtle things inside it with each listen, it is a table that has grown with me from my childhood years into adulthood. Good art, good literature, good cinema all sort of scale with the appreciation of The Listener and The Listener or viewers ability to engage with the art. This album personifies that for me.

Up in the nosebleed section and pot smoke was everywhere....like an old horror movie graveyard below but not fog....pot smoke. And then coke came in and BS 4 or Snowblind? Man was that a let down.

    What you are doing with these Sabbath albums is absolutely amazing. Thank you so much for the hard work and effort because it definitely shows. Can't wait until Vol_4. Sabotage/Master of Reality/Vol_4 have always been my favorite 3 but the first 6 are all impeccable. I wish more people realized there is more to the group than the Paranoid album even though it's fantastic ( I also find the song Paranoid to be good but far from representing what Sabbath is about. If you bought the album thinking this band is a 3 minute song radio hit band then you had no clue what was waiting for you. So many other bands like Zep/Floyd/Who and a lot of those 70's acts had multiple songs on the radio that exposed a lot of their discography to the masses but it seems as though Sabbath had like 3-4 that only got the same treatment with Paranoid being the least that represented what they sounded like as a whole.
    I love hearing bootlegs from the audience from those 70-72 shows You can hear from the crowd them saying things like "Woah..this is fukin heavy!! Unbelievable!" I also agree with Ward with his thoughts on this album. Paranoid was great and War Pigs is a top 5 Sabbath song but Master Of Reality has that doom and maturity to it where they crafted their identity.

      All comes back to MK - ULTRA MIND CONTROL.
      Satan can not stand thinking skills nor free will, both must be gone for to live in the kingdom of satan.
      5 points the truth is harsh:
      - There`s nothing to eat - it is all poisoned,
      - There`s no air to breath - it is all poisoned.
      - There`s nowhere to live - all are under the "care" of our governments,
      - Whole mankind is DUMBED DOWN by our own “caring” governments,
      - We, humans, are wicked sinners and fated into everlasting torture. We cannot save ourselves, we are in need of a saviour. The saviour of the mankind is: JESUS CHRIST - GOD`S ONLY BEGOTTEN SON.
      While making everything now only about covid, let`s not forget, that every year , month, week, day, hour, minute, second, someone out there lose a family member, a friend, a co worker. And IT IS NOT ALWAYS AND ONLY COVID.
      Why are we forgetting:
      DIFFERENT CANCERS - these didn`t disappeared,
      CAR, PLANE, BOUTH ACCITENTS - these didn`t disappeared,
      Drugs, that kills our organs while still alive - these didn`t disappeared,
      Problematic genes - these didn`t disappeared,
      Stress, overworking - also leading too early DEATH - these didn`t disappeared.
      And real appointed time to die - we ARE MORTAL. And will die eventually.
      Our health as whole mankind - was already close to none - existence. We kill ourselves while still breathing:
      Alcohol, killing our own stomach and expecting not to die?
      different drugs, willingly poison ourselves and expecting not to die?
      smoking, Burning our own lungs and expecting not to die?
      Willingly taking a gun into our hands and going to war and expecting not to die? - in here: who kills will be killed also. /what goes around, comes around.
      In short: We, ain´t dying from anything new, we are already DEAD.
      Covid - 19 was a made up story. Under the topic: FREEMASONRY lays all the needful answers. Don´t find those, then you missing skills to search. It is harsh fact, yet still remains a fact.
      WHO IS THEN SATAN ACCORDING TO YOUR WORDS AND OPINIONS?
      For me - satan is my enemy, once a glorious Angel, yet as PRIDE was found in him, he lost his place in HEAVEN and felled down to earth and now without a body, only in spiritual form, he walketh around to see whom he : and today on this earth satan is known as god /with little g) and his kingdom is this fallen earth. Be not fool, for he is carring many names: the most known:
      - LUCIFER,
      - SATAN,
      - THE OLD DEVIL,
      - THE Baphomet - the false god/the god of freemasonry.
      - The Prince of the air.
      1 Peter 5:8 - Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:

    Thank you for such an amazing gift as this documentary! It's reassuring to know that the power of those bands' music still gives chills to people, even if it belongs to a past time, more than forty years ago... so much that it's hard to experience it as a viewer rather than be able to attempt concerts, see them on stage and so on (I mean, of course you can attempt some tours, but this year Saxon looked like old mummies dug up for the occasion and I don't think it could get better). The point is that's really hard to accept that I will never be able to see early Black Sabbath in a pub or be able to tell incredible stories as some old-full original metalhead could. Without looking like an "I wish to be born in the eighties" speech, I'm really nostalgic about a past that I've never experienced but which works still mesmerizing me, able to listen to them, but not able to be really part of it. It's like the metal golden era is ended and the present one looks like a half succeded copy of it. I don't know if this long-ass comment makes any sense, In any case, I would really be happy to see it as a start of a community conversation, cheers!

I'm 30 years old (born in 1992) and as a musician (mainly a drummer) I love a variety of different music from different eras because what i like is substance... which is why with country or pop for example I tell people I like some classic country songs but all the modern stuff is generic garbage, same with pop, rock has also gotten pretty lame in the last 10 to 15 years and I also find the modern metal double bass drum screem stuff to be pretty generic too and all sounds the same... hell I love hip hop top but over the last 10 years its gone downhill big time as well I guess that's because society as a whole is imploding... anyways my favorite music is late 60s all the way till late 90s hard rock and I have loved sabbath (they're my favorite on most days i used to say zeppelin but zeppelin music gets old quicker than sabbath I mean if when kashmir comes on the radio while I'm driving or anything off LED zeppelin 2 or 4 and I don't even turn it up but iron man comes on though not close to my favorite by sabbath and I've heard it a million times but I still turn that shit up loud as hell and rock out) yes I know I'm rambling whatever as a drummer at age 13 zeppelin and sabbath especially where huge for me bill ward and john Bonham are essential for building a foundation for any drummer that's transitioning from early beginner and into intermediate and helps build chops but yeah I used to like the first 3 sabbath records the best but as I've gotten older my favorite are 4 5 and 6

    As a kid, I always viewed myself as an "Ozzy Sabbath" guy, even thought I'd only listened to a view of the Ozzy era albums. I never really listened to any of the Dio stuff, but I've fixed that since then. Master of Reality took me a long time to really listen to and BOY was I missing out!

      The environment and our culture have changed far more than the quality of the artists. In today's world, great artists still exist, but the difference between 1970 and now is that we don't have a society set up to value and support new bands who are really talented. New bands don't get "discovered" or supported. Being talented doesn't matter anymore. People don't care. Our society is in an artistic downfall. There is no longer support for art with integrity and dedication. Today, all that matters to most people is making money, and remaining in a daze of perpetual distraction of amusement by cheap, idiotic thrills polished into generic perfection by computers. We're headed for a dark age, but the musicians are still here. Not their fault.

      But the riff played in the documentary was To Cry You a Song not Nothing is Easy. Granted that riff sounds more like a Tony Iommi riff but it isn't him.

    • @TheTapesArchive
      @TheTapesArchive  2 года назад

      To Cry you A song was in there cuz it was rumored that it was Tony. I sent Tony the video and he corrected me and said that it wasn't. So I took that part out but left the song in there as a musical bridge.

It's an honor to be along side so many great groups. We all owe such a huge debt to Black Sabbath.

    So this doc is kind of a dream come true.
    I was listening to some of sabotage the other day and was stricken by how well their music still holds up.

    Great video. To me I see "Embryo" "Children of the Grave" and "Orchid" as one song. Each part telling a story of fallen soldiers for most wars that are fought. And possibly an unpopular opinion, but I like the live version from Ozzy's "Randy Rhoads Tribute" album. I think it hits harder, the faster pace helps give the feel of a battle, and Randy's solo at the end blows Tony's out of the water.

    **AWESOME, VERY WELL DONE!** ALTHOUGH I'M NO MUSICIAN, OZZY & W/BLACK SABBATH HAD A PROFOUND EFFECT ON ME AND MY EARLY LIFE!
    I cant say who or how I was turned on to OZZY as a youngster at the tender young age of 11 or 12? I hatched in 1976, I can remember one of my older brothers friends came by with the DIARY OF A MADMAN album in hand, I remember him showing it to my dad who was a god fearing Christian. The Album Covert gave it that mystic feel. I was too young then. Yet it had imprinted in my memories.
    I don't think It took on until after BARK AT THE MOON. It took hold around the Ultimate Sin album. I was still too young then to try to go to that concert. However, when the NO REST FOR THE WICKED album came out, **I HAD TO GO TO THAT CONCERT IN ST. LOUIS, NO MATTER WHAT!** I bought two tickets without knowing how I'd get there. The month leading up to it I talked my bros gf/wifey into taking me. It was my fist concert. Days before It was quietly decided that aa neighborhood hang around would buy a ticket and accompany me, she took the third ticket bought at the door of The KIEL AUDITORIUM. (shhh..!)
    **DAYS BEFORE I NOTICED MY TICKETS WERE MISSING FROM MY DRAWER** As it turned out my mom didn't like the idea of me going. I tore the house apart looking for them. They were found in the kitchen trashcan under the bag. I found it as I was taking the trash out to thougholy sift through the bag of trash! OMG!I CANT EVEN REMEMBER WHO OPENED FOR OZZY. As I recall it was 2 bands (names were unimportants! I wish it was the previous tour/album because Metallica opened for him *AWESOME!)
    Like I said, it didn't matter because in those days that's all I listened to. **OZZY OSBOURNE or BLACK SABBATH w/OZZY OSBOURNE** PERIOD! FOR REAL-real, that's it! **OVER & OVER & OVER FOR WHAT SEAMED YEARS!** My best friend at the time was getting into the AND JUSTICE FOR ALL album (in cassete form of course) and there were others, such as Slayer never could get into, (except, some for its shock value) Even THOUGH I BELIEVE I was into Ozzy at first due my rebellious streak. I was forced to go to a Christian pvt school, so, in many ways I rebelled to the point I was kicked out for spraying my shoes with spray-foaming-Lysol, lighting it on fire (w/my cigarette lighter~YES~I~even smoked) at an after school function, in front of all 5 students that made up my class. 12 students total from 1st-8th. **No wonder I hated that school, right?** There was only 3 girls total that were in my age group; only one in my grade/class. **NOT GOOD FOR A BOY WHOS JUST GETTING INTO GIRLS** MY ALTERNATE AGENDA, I WENT TO PUBLIC SCHOOL THE FOLLOWING YEAR IN 6Tth GRADE!**
    **LAWDY~LAWDY~I WAS A REAL JUVENILE DELINQUENT, IN EVERY SENSE OF THE WORD!**
    TO ANSWER THE QUESTION, I'M THE ONLY ONE THATS STILL ALIVE THAT NEVER WENT ON TO LIVE IN PRISON!
    **BoysTown of MISSOURI don't count!** bWHAHAHAHA! **IF YOUR STILL READING ALL THIS, MAY GOD BLESS YOUR SOUL!**

    I discovered Sabbath in my teens, after devouring Led Zepp's entire canon. Saw your Sabotage doc and really liked it. This doc on MoR and Sabbath's salad days is really great. I forgot just how young the band was when the music business took hold. You guys do a good job displaying that. I also found myself laughing hard at a few parts. For example, I didn't know England's Head Witch cast a spell/cursed the band! That had me dead. Also, when Sabbath brought their own PA on their first American Tour and blew the sound system, the venue's power and the surrounding neighborhood's power grid had me dead. Again. lol
