    Their 1st album was actually recorded on October 16th 1969, but the record company waited til the next Friday the 13th which fell on February 13th 1970 to release the album. Tony Iommi said that it took only 8 hours to record because at the time they were playing gigs up to 7 times a day, and they were well rehearsed when it was time to record.

    First time I ever heard this album was in 1976 when I needed something heavier and more evil than Kiss.
    Then this album came along courtesy of my friend's older brother.
    "Kiss sucks" he said.."Try this"..
    And I was scared and hooked at the same time.
    I never looked back ever since.
    Black Sabbath ARE the KIngs of Heavy Metal.
    The first 6 albums are the template for all Metal ever since.

    Geezer was the wordsmith,Toni's riffs "EPIC" in weight,girth,hight,&DEPTH YO!!😮 JAW DROPPING AT ANY AGE!!! Bills timing & his touch are underrated,he served the songs well until... He couldn't remember recording them,what addiction can do, but he's a fighter& survivor, more power to YOU ❤😊 Jackie was always in key & on time, the overhead screen in concert shows previous visual performances along with staged studio Ozzy singing,It was SHEER BRILLIANCE!!!

    Wiki : Black Sabbath's music and lyrics were quite dark for the time. The opening track is based almost entirely on a tritone interval played at slow tempo on the electric guitar. Bassist Geezer Butler claims the riff was inspired by "Mars, the Bringer of War", a movement in Gustav Holst's The Planets.

    The first album was bluesier than later albums, but Sabbath retained a lot of their jazz chops while Bill Ward was drummer. Of the great drummers of the 70s, he's one of the most underrated. Ozzy is playing the harmonica here.

    Complex band. Don't underestimate Bill Ward’s jazz drumming and the the group’s breakdown into an impromptu jam. It makes it... One of the greatest drummers (and band) in rock. (yes... The foundation of metal... And detuning for half of two fingers are much of the reason.)

    Perfect reaction video after returning from Evensong at St Peter’s Church. Think Tony made his prosthetic fingertips from melting down and moulding the tops of washing up liquid bottles. Not sure he detuned his Gibson SG until the third album ( which sounds very different ). Met Tony in the Mermaid Bar of Birmingham University in late ‘76 or early ‘77, he was wearing a huge fur coat and dr king Guinness ( which left a lovely white froth on his black moustache). Nice ordinary down to earth slightly shy guy. Can’t wait for more !! Thank you both, as always. Best wishes from England.

    I believe Toni Iommi tuned his guitar down a half step which probably accounts for the Diminished chord you mentioned. I'm not sure whether it was because it made it easier to play or because it made the sound heavier and more sinister. I've seen an interview where Tony said audiences would walk out because the music scared them in the early 70s. That Paris gig was amazing. Bill Ward knocked 9 sides CV of hell out of the kit, especially in War Pigs. We never even talked about heavy metal until the late 70s. It was either Heavy Rock, Country Rock, Pub Rock or Punk Rock😂

    Something you mentioned in passing, but is worth highlighting is that Sabbath were the masters of super heavy and yet slow songs, which is not the way metal later evolved. The song Black Sabbath is a good example, as is the song Electric Funeral from their second album Paranoid. I kinda wish that style would come back into music!

    About to watch this, great, you’re doing Sabbath! The pioneers of heavy-metal, even if they didn’t know that’s what they were doing at the time. Although taking riff-based music and making it heavier along with darker lyrics, was certainly their intention!… By the way clarification, Tony did not retune the guitar to make his playing easier, he played in standard tuning, except for the occasional song here and there. What he DID do was create fake fingertips. He would cut pieces of leather from his leather jacket to do that. And to this day still has enough of that jacket left to keep making replacements!

    When Black Sabbath made their first visit to Australia, a journalist asked about satanism. The bands denied it. But what about the band's name? Are the Rolling Stones about avalanches? The impression I got was the name, the image and the music was about carving a niche. It worked but behind the facade were talented musicians and a great singer. Concert was good but a bit monotonous with little light and shade. An oddity was the support act which was a band that was a Black Sabbath clone called Buffalo. They actually played Paranoid n their set list. Not a patch on the real band. Oh yes, Ozzy was a blond. In his t-shirt and jeans looked like a surfie. Black Sabbath's manager back then was Don Arden, a dangerous thug who ripped off his acts. Sharon's dad actually. How much he controlled the band, its image and creative output is unclear but I expect Arden was a bigger threat to Ozzy's health than all the drugs and booze he consumed.

    Its funny how a bunch of seasoned jazz, big band and tempered flamencoed influenced background musicians, would get their music shunned from the rest of the possible airplay on radio stations because of one song...or was it?. Black Sabbath probably was the first to write and sing about war ( Warpigs) and right in the middle of Vietnam!... wouldnt want a direct question of whos actually killing our sons now...would we?.They wrote songs about questioning where society was actually going as a humanity direction (Spiral Architect) or ( Wheel of Confusion). They knew that people flocked to see Boris Carloffs movie Black Sabbath... people were paying shit loads of money to get the Bejevahs scared out of them...so why not try that in music...it worked...until the world machine heard their real message in other songs..then shut them down as a Satanic band. The legacy of Black Sabbath carries on not only in the way of music, but in the way of speaking a truth that goes on in this world...while everyone else remains blindfolded....by the way Bill Ward is one of the most underrated Drummers that has ever been.
