- Black Sabbath - Megalomania - Guitar Cover
In honor and celebration of Black Sabbath's sixth studio album Sabotage, which was released on this day, July 28th, in 1975 - this is track #4 on the album and closes out Side B. This entire album is an absolute monster, and "Megalomania" is certainly one of the most monstrous of the tracks. Of all the Sabbath songs, really...
This beast clocks in at just under ten minutes and is one of the most complex of their songs. And took a bit to figure it all out properly, not gonna lie - given that there's lots of layered tracks, especially guitar. Tony Iommi once again plays several different solos overdubbed in the same space - very common on the early albums. I think there aren't too many cover vids of this one - probably because it's tough to play all the way through without any flubs. Hopefully I pulled it off ok.
Tuning on this one is C# standard, with a +8 cent adjustment to match the album.
I'm doing these cover videos purely for my own enjoyment - while I write for several upcoming planned projects that should hopefully take form this year. Thought I'd share for anyone interested. I figure them out by ear, so any mistakes are solely my own. I think they're mostly right. Cheers.

Most underrated metal song of all time
This was a badass album. My mommie used to work for Warner Bros when I was in a kid and she brought this album home one day... Woke up to it and went to bed to it... STICK ME!!!
👍🇬🇧❤MY FAVORITE SONG OF ALL TIME, SABOTAGE IS ALSO MY FAVORITE ALBUM BY FAR ❤🎸 SINCE ITS RELEASED JULY 10TH 1975. , I JUST TURNED 10 YEARS OLD 2 WEEKS PRIOR 😊
I’ve been listening to Black Sabbath for fifty years. To say that out loud is wild. I listen to you all the time. Let me tell you, us Black Sabbath fans feel you. I’ve never heard them played so authentic. It’s incredible. Not even from Zakk Wylde. Who loves Sabbath. Thank you brother. 🤘
What an amazing and humbling comment! Makes doing these so worthwhile! Thank you brother!
First time I ever saw someone play this song. Nice job man!
Thanks very much! I think there's not that many covers of this one probably because it's pretty long and complex - a lot to memorize and play in one go.
I love it. Thank you. This is a Sabbath album that is criminally underrated. It's up there with the best of them. I think it's as good as Vol. 4 and all the other Ozzy albums prior to Technical Ecstasy and Never Say Die
Well, I dunno about "criminally", lol! Just messing with ya, haha - I do know what you mean. It doesn't get nearly the praise the prior three get, for sure. And I'm in agreement on Technical Ecstacy and Never Say Die - they did seem to lose their way just a bit near the end of the "classic era". I think some questionable production choices contributed to that as well - NSD in particular is so compressed you can barely make out what the guitars are doing sometimes. Still, both of those have some amazing moments - I plan to do several covers from each when I can. "Johnny Blade" very soon actually.
This album is one of their most appreciated and recognized. There's nothing underrated about their first 6 albums.
Agreed!@@Annihilation_0f_The_Wicked9066
Dude, it’s insane how nice your tone is. Blown away, man. Love it!
Thanks so very much! 🖤
It's practically identical to the album version. Probably the best cover of a track I've heard. Awesome.
This is probably one of the best covers I’ve watched and heard.
Also the first I’ve ever heard this song covered. Phenomenal job!
Oh wow, thanks so much! I make these for the enjoyment of it, and for the pure love of the music, so comments like yours make it all worthwhile! Cheers!
I'm blown away! It's so refreshing to see someone cover one of the lesser known songs, and this one absolutely rocks! Thanks for sharing.
Thanks so much, and yeah I try to do stuff that not many others cover. There's so much to choose from! Cheers!
Ya know what it is an absolute monster? Your cover of this song! Sabotage is Black Sabbath at their best. I wish I could say Megalomania is my favorite but that wouldn't be fair to Hole in the Sky, Symptom of the Universe, Thrill of it All and The Writ. Thank you for sharing.
Completely agreed! I can't find a favorite on that record cuz they all RULE!!
That was awesome! Sabbath in their prime was untouchable.
Totally agree!! And thank you! Cheers!
Love that tone. And that sound.
Thanks!!! 🖤
Absolutely 💯 percent killer tone and performance. Right on!
One of THE heaviest songs of all time! Sting me!!!!🎉
Killing It Brother! Keep On Keeping' On!!
Thanks, brother! Looking forward to hearing your new record!!
I saw numerous shows this album tour 🪄🪄🪄
Iommi Sabbath dominated (invented) metal game
Life changing ..... 🌟
Your attention to detail disciplined 👍
I couldn't agree more - what might music be like without Iommi? I cannot imagine! Cheers mate!!
HELL FREAKIN YEAH. You just rocked the all hell out of me. I feel like going home from work right now. I wore the cover off of this album I played it so many times. That was AWESOME.
Thanks very much!! It's comments like yours that make it worth the time & effort! Cheers! 🖤
Sabbath are my favourite band of all time. I just wanna say tht was awesome, and thank you very much for play tht...
Mine, too! Thanks so much for the kind words and for checking out my vids!
@RicktorRavensbruck ur very welcome, looking forward to hearing more great songs.
Excellent. Doesnt seem the easiest track to get spot on!
Thank you, and you're not wrong - it's probably one of the more complex of the old school Sabbath songs. Took some time to figure out correctly, and a bit of practice to be able to play it in its entirety without any flubs for the video. It's almost ten solid minutes, with numerous parts!
HaveLoved Sabbath since Feb 13 1970 Their debut LP
Simply amazing.
Thank you very much!
Badass!!!! Now all your Sabbath covers are popping up!🔥🔥🔥🔥🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻

Sabbath is the fucking balls... Great job here man!!!!
Thanks very much; and totally fucking agree! Cheers!
I'm gonna give this one a go tonight on my Facebook live stream.
Cheers from brasil. Quebrou titio🤘
Thanks, and Cheers!!
🇧🇷🤘🏻
That part at the end (8:50 - 9:03) , for the longest time I thought Iommi was playing power chords during that part. But then again I'm referring to the live version. Awesome cover man! New Sub!
Thank you, and for your cool comment! And you're right, Tony often changed up some of the stuff live, and IMO, often improvised some of the solo parts for a number of songs.
I remember when Zakk asked OZZY did you take singing lessons for this beautiful album and he said no just drugs 😅
Lol, awesome!!
Wow… So cool! Great playing and tone!!👍👍👍
I really appreciate the comment - thanks so much!!
Awesome 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Master

From Finland
@@sakukippo5327 Kickass! I've been to & played Sweden and Norway, but not Finland. Hope to one day... Cheers!
I would crank that jam lights off in my room getting all stoned just thinking of how my life would be when got older.. Fucken Bad Ass Homie..
Awesome! And thanks very much, my friend!!
Awesome ❤
Thanks very much - I totally appreciate that!
Så tung härlig låt
!! good one my friend :D !! dont give up :D !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks as always my friend! And I'll never stop playing - I'll have to be dead, and even then - I'll be jamming in the afterlife! 😅
Amazing! One of my favorite Sabbath songs ever
By the way, how did you do this screen effect?
Thank you! And it's one of the plug-ins for Final Cut Pro, which I use to edit the visuals on these vids. Can't recall which one - maybe a vintage filter - but I mostly find one that looks ok and tweak it 'til it does what I want. Cheers.
Well done! What amps/effects did you use?
Thanks very much! For these videos I just use the amp sims in Logic to emulate my live rig, which is pretty old school: a Marshall 100w into a couple of cabs and my pedalboard into the front. I'm pretty basic for effects, just a distortion, flanger, a phaser, and a wah. The Logic sims allow me to tweak it a bit to try and match the sound of whatever song I'm covering but that's about it...
Good jobs man. Your guitar tuning in c# or another else? Thanks see you from Paris.
Thank you, and yes, it's tuned to C#, however the album track is slightly off. So you must tune the guitar slightly up, or pitch the track itself slightly down. Approximately 8 cents or so... Cheers!
PS. I love Paris (and France); I haven't been there since 2018 but I hope to return soon! 🖤
u r awesome ❤
Awww, thanks very much! So nice of you to say!
Thank you for your GREAT PERFORMANCE❗❗😍😍
If possible plz my BLACK SABBATH cover too👍👍
Thanks as always!!
That mid tempo riff is off the hook! The live version too is off the hook
Totally agree! My fave live version is from the Asbury Park bootleg; in fact that's my fave live Sabbath recording period. Ozzy's at the top of his game on that one, too.
I thought I was the only one that played this. Except I play it on a SG
I don't think it's necessary to have an SG to cover Sabbath well, although they are nice. I've owned several over the years. IMO, good tone comes from the player, not the gear. I play Slayer on a Stratocaster, after all... 😉
His tone is quite tough to beat. Is pretty awesome.
@@BeardedLad89 You're talking about Tony's, yeah? I couldn't agree more.
