This track also features Laurence Cottle on bass. He was a session musician on the Headless Cross album and he was in the music video too. So technically all the musicians on this track were members of Black Sabbath.
@@DiegoFavaromendeZ geezer would follow the guitar often too, a lot of the early sabbath sound was so heavy because of this. He didnt do ascending/descending lines every song
Even when Bill Ward is playing on a slow song, he always finds a way to make his drumming interesting! Everytime I hear this song I feel like I pick out more and more little things from his playing!
even if Ozzy wasn't singing this one would still sound like Sabbath because it FEELS like Sabbath. because Bill Ward. his feel, his approach, his groove, his swing. and that opening lick. god damn.
So great to hear Bill Ward on a Sabbath related release - which has been a rarity since 1983’s Born Again...what a shame the powers that were to be didn’t align Bill with Sabbath for 2013 album.
Damn that's interesting. "God Is Dead" begins slow paced with a line saying "Is this the end of the beginning?", in this one, 13 years prior, it starts out with a slow pace and a line saying "Is the end beginning?". I wonder if they had a conversation about this song before doing "God Is Dead".
Could have graced any Sabbath album featuring the original line-up and would even have made a great extra track with the "13" album if they had rerecorded it. The whole song structure, time changes and of course Ozzy's vocals are the perfect fit. Long live SABBATH!!
Definitely has that doomy, gloomy, unmistakably Sabbath "vibe", I gotta agree, & almost that tritone/"devil's refrain" kinda feel too. I almost get a 'Pavlovian' smell of weed upon hearing the opening chords/notes of any Sabbath song!
Good Lord, why was this song not bigger? I nearly shit myself, when I heard this! Being a huge sabbath fan, had never heard it! Metal anthem! Bill ward is a incredible drummer, but he playing with Toni, now that was somthing special! Like John Bonham and Jimmy Page! Poetry with out words!
Bill Ward Is Awesome on here you can totally tell that is him that openhighhat and that really heavy crash ride sound the big sick metal chops layered with a good jazz feel. Kind of got a Sabbath Bloody Sabbath feel to it but I mean when this album came out I bought it the day that they released it it's a exceptional album
I truly wished that original Sabbath put out new music when they reunited in 1998 or this time (2000) and this song was the 1st track. It's INCREDIBLE!!
Absolutely. They wasted so much time playing the same songs over and over and over and over again, while they should have made new music. A band that doesn't write new music is basically dead. Obviously Geezer and Tony thought this too, which is why they did the Heaven and Hell thing.
This one sounds like a lost Black Sabbath track as it could been a sequel to Children of the Grave as Ozzy's vocals come from his solo outings as it's got a vibe akin to No More Tears. The bassist is from the 1980s incarnations of Black Sabbath during the Tony Martin years.
@@ElectronicHouseFlash Not true at all. Iommi is Black Sabbath. He is the driving force behind the band that kept it going for decades and made phenomenal albums with really talented singers after Ozzy left. It's all Black Sabbath, just different flavors of Black Sabbath.
@@ElectronicHouseFlash You're an Ozzy and a Dio fan, which is great. For those who are Black Sabbath fans and have followed the band, Tony Iommi is the heart and soul of Black Sabbath.
@Brian Steven Utter nonsense. Tony's riffs are the foundation of Black Sabbath and Iommi was always the principle songwriter. Even the classic members admitted that most songs started with Tony. Also, if you really think Sabbath with Dio is "just another metal band", you likely never truly listened to those records if you want to write it off so blatantly. Sabbath with Dio was the absolute peak of the band, and I'd argue the Heavy Metal genre as a whole in terms of songwriting and performance. Also, if you wanna bring up rhythm sections, while Butler was Sabbath's best bassist no doubt, there's no drummer on the planet, not even Ward, that can top the mighty Cozy Powell's killer work on Headless Cross, Tyr, and Forbidden.
Always viewed this song as an unofficial Sabbath track. Fun fact: The bassist here is Lawrence Cottle. Lawrence was the session bassist for The Headless Cross album.
With the REAL Sabbath drummer. Bill Ward not being a part of '13' seriously hurt what could have been. I just could not bring myself to buy the album because of his absence.
@@Purpleskyshorizon Too bad it's excellent. They wanted him, he refused. Why we'll probably never know but the drummer did a really good job. To me it is classic Sabbath and I like it more than at least two original albums from the 70's.
@@user-lv7ph7hs7l i believe i read somewhere that Bill Ward refused because contractually, they couldn't get together. Bill was offered a very insultingly low percentage and felt unjustly treated, so he opted out. I have a feeling that evil witch Sharon might've had something to do with that. I wouldn't be surprised, she's a cunning, scheming bitch only out for Ozzy's interests, never mind the rest of Sabbath
@@jaysonraphaelmurdock8812 For me the 13 is very good, im still having fun listening to it, well its not the best, it should be better but i like it, i dont like so much song live forever and methademic but the rest is pretty goog staff to listen.
@@scottyjones4428 no seriously. After being fired from Black Sabbath in 1979, he tried to drink and drug himself to death. So really, Sharon is the reason Ozzy is still alive.
Everything about this song to the beggining to now to the end. Is just fucking godly. I love ozzy. And black sabbath. Never again will there be such talented masters like these guys. There is. But not in this generation of today. There may be someone who can play like them but no one made these masterpieces but them. It's all topped off now.
Did I say this was Black Sabbath? No, I clearly stated who was involved in the band project with Iommi. Technically they are all Sabbath members considering Ozzy, Iommi and Ward are the original members and Cottle was a member during Headless Cross. Still a killer song!
I couldn't agree more, IDK how they could end Black Sabbath without Bill and be okay with it. They blamed it on his health and Bill said it was because they wouldn't give him a signable contract. I lost a lot of respect for Tony Geezer and Oz because of it. Not that they could care what I think or feel. I've only been a Black Sabbath fan since about 1972 or 73 ! I also think 13 is horrible and nothing I ever care to listen to!
@@aschule5684 “whos fooling who” on “iommi” was the closest we got to it and somehow bill played on it and geezer didnt! the song has that magic. bill ward is a safe cracker with the light touch.. he finds that feel and adds so much orchestration to the musical movements. my favorite drummer by far,…. most underrated.
@@JBadAss98Gameing Ok so Bark at the Moon is gay 80's pop? chile anyways Slayer is my favorite pop band. I swear this is the most stupid comment I've seen in years.
great love the Doom sound.i saw them nany times and with Dio & saw ozzy a bunch too.i bv was lucky enoughtvto see the Dehumanizer tour in d c. front row.right in front of Dio.great gig.best memories forever!.Sabbs rule nuff said.
This track also features Laurence Cottle on bass. He was a session musician on the Headless Cross album and he was in the music video too. So technically all the musicians on this track were members of Black Sabbath.
The bass line is way too far from Mr. Butler astronomic ascending&descending lines. Long story short, no Sabbs at all.
@@DiegoFavaromendeZ geezer would follow the guitar often too, a lot of the early sabbath sound was so heavy because of this. He didnt do ascending/descending lines every song
Too bad 😞 Geezer couldn't join them on this one.
Is Black Sabbath
Wow. Thanks for the info. I can go out in the world and live my life now
bill ward really was the heart of sabbath, greatest drummer imo
Who's fooling who, it's the secret Sabbath song.
It's Sabbath! It's not Sabbath! It's Sabbath! It's not Sabbath!
Richard Levick lmao it's basically Black Sabbath, With Iommi, Ozzy AND Bill Ward. Iommi solo CD or not that's 3/4 of the classic sabbaths
Close. Just missing Geezer on Bass unfortunately. It was a guy called Laurence Cottle that played bass on this track.
It sounds like BS, so keep cool
Richard Levick fucking donkey, it's joke, loser
Thumb is up for Bill Ward! Best drummer ever!
I play drums myself and I have to agree with you, Bill Ward is the best 👌
Sabbath will live forever. Even when it's not Sabbath, it's Sabbath.
As long as there is one alive. Now there are three left.. Maybe they even will outlive me...
Worldin Pains Uh no the original lineup is all alive my dude
@@glohitia666 no one died of the Original lineup
Even when Bill Ward is playing on a slow song, he always finds a way to make his drumming interesting! Everytime I hear this song I feel like I pick out more and more little things from his playing!
EXACTLY. 😁🤟
The new drummer is nothing but a 1 trick pony drummer . He gets the job done, but no drumming imagination!🙄
One of a kind. Sabbath would have been a good band with any drummer but it needed Bill to put all the pieces together!
Bill Ward is god
If he was so great he would have been dead already he's a poser not like my brethren that are 4 dead already
So I'll see you later because I got to die soon too to be real not like these sissies
Iommi and Ozzy were made for each other musically.
hell yeah
Fuckin right they were!!!
Even went to the same school
@@Ravishrex1 iommi used to beat the shit out of ozzy
@@billrobertjoe yeah lol poor ozzy
My thumbs up is for Bill Ward on drums
A final reunion with all 4 original members would be the icing on the cake.
hell yeah
Bill Ward the master of feel!
Ward is arguably the best drummer to play metal. So important an element of how the music flows and swings. The Master!
even if Ozzy wasn't singing this one would still sound like Sabbath because it FEELS like Sabbath. because Bill Ward. his feel, his approach, his groove, his swing. and that opening lick. god damn.
Black Sabbath without Bill Ward is not Black Sabbath. This song is the absolute truth.
I love people like you who know the truth and aren't afraid to stand up for what they believe in!!
but geezer isn't on it
Listen to the Tony Martin albums, that’s Black Sabbath’s best stuff and Bill Ward was on the Cross Purposes tour for a few shows
I love how they always seemed to be just one member away from being Black Sabbath on this or that song or album.
So true Jason.
Everybody on this song's been a member of Black Sabbath Lawrence Cottle played the bass on headless cross
The bass player was in Sabbath too
@@richardhincemon9423 he isn’t original member
If this had been a Sabbath track in the early 1970's it would be thought a masterpiece.
I'm not saying it's sabbath..................but it's sabbath.
Its Sabbath...minus Geezer...love it 🤟🤟
It's... Almost Sabbath. :)
It's Sabbath
@@dathandsometroll1852 You've got it right.
The song title is appropriate...
Laurence Cottle the bassist played on the Headless Cross album, so this is technically 100% Black Sabbath!
So great to hear Bill Ward on a Sabbath related release - which has been a rarity since 1983’s Born Again...what a shame the powers that were to be didn’t align Bill with Sabbath for 2013 album.

"vibe", I gotta agree, & almost that tritone/"devil's refrain" kinda feel too. I almost get a 'Pavlovian' smell of weed upon
hearing the opening chords/notes of any Sabbath song!
Awesome song!! It absolutely kicks ass...This song almost sounds like it could have been on the "13" album..
All members on this track have been in Sabbath. Basically a Sab song. Awesome
+TheAdam159 What era was this bass player with Sabbath?
Headless Cross album (1989). He appeared on the music video for the song "Headless Cross", but didn't perform live or tour with the band.
This song has the heaviest riffs I've heard since...well Sabbath!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Only Tony can come up with a riff like that 🤘
I don't even own this album, but I will say this, anything that has Ozzy on vocals is a hit in my book! OZZY FOREVER!
Agree
Whole album is a masterpiece, listen to it!
Even the song rapper Post Malone did with him??
Post Malone featuring Ozzy Osbourne - Take What You Want
@@darienhockley2084 i have that on CD actually through his most recent album

So, if you havent heard it before you are not a huge sabbath fan.
Bill Fuckin' Ward.
+Hellon Heilmann no shit
Tony Iommi is the greatest rock&roll guitarist on the planet...Hands down
My favorite musician!
Iommi rules 😎
Rock on 🤘

Kind of got a Sabbath Bloody Sabbath feel to it but I mean when this album came out I bought it the day that they released it it's a exceptional album
Tonys doomy guitar and Ozzys vocals fits like a glowe
Only missing Geezer on this one....
Planet Nate Cottle played bass on Headless Cross
ETK 1 but he never was a official member of Black Sabbath, just a session musician
Should have stayed this way with BILL, OZZY, TONY and GEEZ!! Damn business shit!!! With Bills drumming the journey towards the dark side was complete.
Tony Iommi Master of the riffs
Should've made the 13 album around this time, Ozzy vocals sounds unbelievable.
His vocals are great on 13.... the album only needed Bill Ward to complete the line up. Vocals on 13 sound better than this track to my ears.
I truly wished that original Sabbath put out new music when they reunited in 1998 or this time (2000) and this song was the 1st track. It's INCREDIBLE!!

02 Selling my Soul

04 Scary Dreams (Live)
It sounds like a proper EP… hehe
I never get tired of this gem.
so profound. .
Cool Sabbath song. It’s Sabbath even if Geezer isn’t there, Iommi/Osbourne/Ward and Lawrence Cottle the bassist of Sabbath-Headless Cross.
shivers when I here this...
Ozzy should add this as a bonus track to his new cd Patient Number 9 and give some love to Iommi!
Ozzy does give love to Iommy since you mention Patient no 9 it does feat Tony!!
Iommi is on two songs on Ozzy’s most recent album. Wish the other Sabbath guys were too though.
Tony Iommi..... THAT says it all.

Nobody believed in them in the start.50 years later still rules rock music🤟

Could have been on 13!!! Iommi always with the great riffs!!! & Ozzy sounding great!!!
You can tell it's bill drumming, listen to the kit. Then go to the last supper DVD
Pretty cool stuff. 🎸 Tony Iommi the man that created metal!!
