    In this #metalmonday edition of #thedailydoug, I'm returning to Black Sabbath's second album, Paranoid, to listen to its last track Fairies Wear Boots. This is a first time listen for me, and I found the song to be quite the fun romp. Come along for the ride!

    The bass riffs in the opening section are so jazzy/funky. Modern metal could use a little dose of this type of freedom.

      Geezer is, in my opinion, one of the best bass players around. His bass lines are like no other and I feel that he doesn't get the credit he deserves.

      A favorite band of mine King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard released a full-on metal album a few years ago. It’s a thrash album but has a lot of Sabbath influence as well, and if you check out a song like Planet B, they have these high-energy verse parts with furious walking basslines, very reminiscent of Geezer’s parts on War Pigs or other early Sabbath song.

    Thanks for noticing all the nuances in Tony’s playing! It’s part of why he is such a great guitarist and so enjoyable to listen to! Geezer and Bill compliment Tony’s guitar playing perfectly with their skilled jazzy/swing influences. Then of course there is Ozzy with that uniquely disaffected wail that is the hallmark of his vocals. He is the undisputed voice of metal, IMO and Sabbath is the greatest metal band ever!

    A great song off the album Paranoid. Reportedly the lyrics were inspired by an incident after a Sabbath concert in 1970. The band was attacked by a bunch of Skinheads after the show, injuring Tony Iommi and forcing them to cancel their next performance. The second half was about LSD. If you are seeing Fairies wearing boots, you may be on LSD, lol.

      Mostly right, Mark, actually, Fairies was the moniker Ozzy gave these "skin head" wanna be's in England back in the 70's...they all wore "jack boots" made famous by Nazi Germany...so, this was the band fighting back in a different way...lol...miss those days a lot!!!

    • @VisceralAshes

      Fairies Wear Boots is a reference to them saying that the skinheads, who notoriously wore boots, were the "fairies in boots". It's them throwing shade on the skinhead toxic and fragile masculinity. Homophobic skinheads used to refer to us long hairs as fairies.

    Metal Mondays got me hooked on your channel. It’s not often that someone with an academic background in music gives impressions and analyses of metal songs.
    I’ve noticed you’ve repeated specific artists quite a few times. I’d be interested in seeing you react to a broader range of metal artists. Gojira comes to mind, they’re a technical death metal band. It might be a stretch from sounds you’re familiar with, but I think there will be a lot of cool stuff for you to discuss.
    Something I appreciate about metal is that it’s a genre that has a lot of room for new creative expression and a lot of developing new directions with music.
    Oh, a lot of people say Avenged Sevenfold are great songwriters. I don’t have the necessary background to evaluate that for myself.
    There’s even the possibility of exploring how music has influenced different subcultures.
    There are a lot of possibilities.
