    Bill always said: ' I don't keep straight time as such....I listen and react. My goal is to support the flow, emphasize the intensity....in that way a see myself more as a percussionist". The way Bill is able to almost 'suspend time' with his phrasing in the Wizard, is priceless and transcendental. The crowning glory is to accent that cowbell in space as a sentinal reference point in the midst of a jazzy, flowing, fluid masterclass of quick hands, wrists and fingers all executed with an uncanny feel for what the other 3 are doing. So glad that one of the inspirations for me to play drums is getting his kudos recognized here on this channel. Hard for me to believe that you missed all this stuff as a drummer!!Everyones first jams used to involve Paranoid in the U.K. in the 80's! (But without the smooth snare rolls between verses, of ciurse!!) Cheers mate. Check out Looking for Today and Johnny Blade for more fluid Bill snare work! ( Someone also mentioned potential brushes on Snowblind, but I've always tried to play them as ghost notes!). Finally, I hope Bill himself gets to see some of these comments. He would love it. You should try to interview him mate. He might be into that, as he loves drums and early Sabbath! Me, I've been hooked since 1978.

    YES, "The Wizard" is an underplayed Classic, for sure. Love watching people listen to these early songs. I think it is a trend that most people, tend to listen to the "hits", of a band and rarely get to hear the early work that defines really good artists. Artist's FIRST album's like RUSH self titled, Zeppelin's self titled and YES Black Sabbath's self titled are some of the best underplayed music available! Great Work Andrew!!

    Hi Andrew. I'm loving your analysis of the Sabs' debut album. My favourite song from the album coming next: Behind the Wall of Sleep. You were wondering about the ages of the band members. On the day of the recording, 16 October 1969 (yes, one day), Iommi and Ward would've been 21 and Butler and Ozzy just 20. Best wishes from the U.K.

  • @benhinds2971
    @benhinds2971 2 года назад +2

    They did this album in a matter of hours. They didnt really think the album would have ANY success. They were more concerned with getting the recording process over with because they had to catch a ferry to Sweden, or somewhere, to play a gig for the weekend. So they were just putting their live set down on tape like many other debut albums. Except this one would have ripple effects we are still feeling in music 50 years later.

    @roddypampa3906 Год назад

    sabbath was a jam band, all their tracks came from a jam sessions or a live improv... you can check it in those old days. Remembering a lil bit, they started jamming on stage during "warning" song (check laussane 70 and dumfries 69'), they did a lot of songs between those long tony's solo, riffs and bill n' geezer rhythm.. then, later they started to improv on wicked world track (check fillmore east 70, toronto 71, manchester 72)... passed the years changed to sabbra caddabra (1973-75) and then dirty woman (76 till 78).. if you listen carefully those live concerts, and those long jams, you gonna find out all the proto tracks borning, then gig by gig they refinished these "proto" tracks, that becames the studio songs. The Wizard initially was called "Devil Island" (sharon have the tapes from the zella studios, when they recorded it, october 69 and another one is on peel sessions from jan 70). Devil Island born from a jam session during their first song called "a song for jim", in this song, bill plays a long drums jam, iommi on flute, apparently the riff cames from this jam (check live record of dumfries 69').

    You need to consider that Sabbath was initially a sort of psychedelic folk-rock band that was only trying to do different things, and added a thick and low sound that would later be known as metal. There was no metal back then, and the band was contemporary with other bands that were a big influence to the genre, namely Led Zeppelin, and Deep Purple, so the 'classic' Sabbath line up before Dio joined was just experimenting with music and sounds.

      From Wiki: Earth, initially credited as The Earth, was a British psychedelic music band active from 1968 to 1969. The band is mainly significant for having caused the band Earth formed by Ozzy Osbourne and Tony Iommi to change the name of their hard-edged blues band Earth to Black Sabbath in order to avoid confusion. I'd only heard of them as a blues band originally. So, there were 2 bands named Earth at the time?

    • @RatBotEins
      @RatBotEins 2 года назад

      @@grangerjung4129 Well yes, there have been a few Earth's, including the 'current' Earth (the magnificent -mostly instrumental- drone-doom band), but there is no relation between any of them. The one we are talking about here (BS) started out as Polka Tulk Blues Band, aka Polka Tulk, and even featured a saxophonist before changing to Earth, and then to Sabbath. They played mostly blues-infused sort of rock. but started adding folk sound and things from other genres to make what we know today as Black Sabbath. You can hear those different takes on music all over their first few albums, and the way they present that sort of dichotomy with their intros/outros, pretty much splitting some songs.

    I love how inventive & musical Bill Ward was on these early albums especially. (Butler & Iommi, too, but we’re talking about Ward.) The sound is very loose & free, but that just serves to highlight the structure of the grooves. Great playing.

    1st hard rock song I ever came to hear was Black Sabbath: Into the void (from Master of reality). I was 15. Instantly fell in love with it. Their creativity was so amazing. The wizard is one of my favourite songs. But: thinking of the first 6 or 7 albums, I would come up with another 20, for sure. Enjoy your journey!

    Ozzy is playing harmonica. At the end of their documentary The End, the band has a jam session in a small studio and they play this song. YOU MUST WATCH IT! It is absolutely amazing to see them play this live in studio.

    I'm digging your journey. It's rad to see a musician talk about this music and discover it for the first time and see how it relates to the history of music after it. This music came out well before me, but once I found it I couldn't believe what I was hearing. The random drum patterns blew my mind, (I also love Keith Moon for this type of playing) the groovy basslines, the deep clear next level riffs. Sabbath to me is so different because a lot of the other era bands sounded like the instruments and vocals were in a battle to be heard where in Sabbath they work together and don't really step on each other. Some bands pulled that off also, but not as often or as well as these guys. Pink Floyd also has some wonderful musical arrangements.

    Your reactions to this using drumeo has for the first time in my 50 yr old brain
    Inspired me to learn to read music and play them right.
    Watching you play hand of doom. Sealed the deal for me for drumeo.
    So thank you bill ward for a lifetime of inspiration,and thank you Andrew ( drums n coffee!) For reopening my eyes to my own potential. One last comment .
    Bill ward has always been THE Drummer for Black Sabbath, but I cannot deny
    The influence that a later replacement drummer that came along with Ronnie james

    Thank you for reviewing Bill. I'm not a musician but my ears know what they know - Bill is more than a beast. It drives me nuts that he isn't more revered by the people of Earth. A buddy of mine is a life-long drummer. I asked him about Bill and he raved. One of his comments was, "No Bill Ward, no Black Sabbath." And to me that means no Bill Ward, no heavy metal.
    Now I have to go listen to Symptom Of The Universe.
    Thanks again.

    Another great reaction and review. As a drummer, I agree with all of your comments. I have been drumming since the 1960s and I can cover just about anybody in rock, blues, and hard rock. But, I will be damned if I could ever cover just about anything Bill Ward does! Simple, yet complicated! You’ve caught onto his very essence that non-drummers don’t understand or even notice.

    Several tracks on the first album really show their blues and psychedelic roots. Before they were Black Sabbath, they went through a few names like Earth and The Polka Tulk Blues Band. It wasn't until they were chatting across from a movie theater showing the Boris Karloff film "Black Sabbath" that they got the idea of making music that scared people like horror films.

    When I was 15 years old in 1970 I started to learn drum playing with a drum set as poor as Bill Ward's has used at that time. Bill Ward was always my idol and I thing he his totally underrated as drummer! He played the bass drum in a way that you think he's playing double Bass! What he has done it in 1969 or in the earliest 70tens could only be able with double bass drum for newer Bands. Bill Wards was a genius!

We enjoyed them so much we went out and picked up the only album we saw which was Paranoid their 2nd album. Later we heard this first album Black Sabbath and we were blown away.
