These days Black Sabbath songs make so much sense.They talked about what our world have became today 50 years ago.People back then should had listen to them and change things
You got the right idea about the lyrics. The lyrics are in the form of the devil speaking to a greedy, selfish person: “The soul I took from you was not even missed.”; and, “You turn to me in all your worldly greed and pride, but will you turn to me when it’s your turn to die?”
Great job, Randi! 1971, if you can believe it! A classic from the creator of metal, doom and thrash, Tony Iommi. The lyrics are by the great bass player, Geezer (Terry) Butler; the best and most underrated songwriting team in history. This song is in the form of a minuet, so the listener is figuratively “dancing with the devil”. The band is from Birmingham, England.
@@grahamnash9794 , no, I'm from Chicago, but I grew up with Iommi as my musical hero as a kid. (A personal highlight for me was when I once got him to laugh so hard he spit up his drink about 30 yers ago, haha!) Whereabouts ae you from? You always have the most amazingly articulate posts!
I'm English. I live just I've 20 miles SSE of London, a town called Farnborough. A mile from me is where Richie Blackmore was born and bread.. What on earth did you do to Tony that he vomited his beer?
You make me see things in music I've known for decades, that I'd never have noticed before. Can't believe just how old this album is now. The bass you heard is indeed the bass, but the recording is ancient. Tech now isn't like it was then, but they used the best there was at the time. I'm stereo was in it's infancy in 71. I listened with new ears this time, and I'm certain I could hear a jazz influence in the bass during the guitar solo's. I really live Ozzie's Sabbath, but I'll always be convinced that Duo gave them a huge boost on every level. That albums Mob Rules, Heaven and Hell were my favourites by a long way. Brilliant reaction. You nailed it. A Sabbath reaction has been a long time in the waiting. But you know what they say about good things coming to certain people. Maybe you know Ozzie's voice from songs like Bark at The Moon, or Crazy Train, from his solo career. He's been huge in the US with his own group. RIP Randy Rhodes.
That's all fingerwork on the bass, dear. You can hear Geezer's literal finger imprint. Considering he played really close to, or on the fretboard, he gets a really mellow sound on this record. Specifically, on this song, but also on "Into the Void". On "Children of the Grave" he uses a pick.
Black Sabbath has a lot of good songs. Here are some more to check out: WAR PIGS. INTO THE VOID. BEHIND THE WALL OF SLEEP. SNOWBLIND. WHEELS OF CONFUSION. There are so many good ones...too many to list.
You must know who Black Sabbath are, they invented Heavy Metal!! Every album with Ozzy in is amazing. You should check out Symptom of the Universe, the whole thing including the last bit. Sabbath are more than legendary, they are up there with other English groups like Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, Deep Purple, The Who, The Beatles and Queen who were all so influential to music and changed the way the world listened to it. Black Sabbath are more than just a band and deserve more playlist on your channel. You should check out Deep Purple, Child in Time, Live 1970. Video. You will be amazed at Ian Gillans voice. Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath and Deep Purple are known as the Holy Trinity of British Rock.
Black Sabbath, the Godfathers of Metal. This song is great. Love the changeups. Simple but effect solos. What's not to love. If you like this song, try 'Symptom of the Universe', 'Hand of Doom' and or' Snowblind', all three classic Ozzy Black Sabbath songs. For a deep cut, 'Electric Funerial'. That song always brings back fond memories of Beavis ad Butthead.

Very, and painfully true.
Geezer butler plucks his bass strings hard and deep, that plus a huge amp is where that cool thumpy tone comes from
Black Sabbath are from Birmingham England there first six albums are brilliant hope you listen to more of their songs.
Geezer Butler's bass is very prominent on this album.

Its like listening to sermon to me.

Crazy Train - I had that as my first song on a compilation CD I jammed to driving to work every day back in 2012.
Hahaha...wonderful stuff. "All Aboard". Been going off the rails for years according my dear Jan. Lol

Snowblind. A lyrical masterpiece. This one has meant a massive amount to me.

50 people just suffered irreversible emotional trauma due to a backwards screen. Welcome to 2022.
"Blizzard Of Oz" was his first solo, maybe you thought it was a group?

Ozzy was only ever in Sabbath. Anything else is his solo stuff.
