@@roadkill3553 What about the wizard? It starts off with a harmonica. Black Sabbath starts out with rain and a church bell with thunder in the back ground. Then Sweet leaf starts out with Ozzy coughing out a bong hit "ah right now!"
@@newperspective4252 They are talking about how the song was COMPOSED, not arranged. You can start to write a song with a riff, but then later decided to use a drum intro or whatever. No matter how the song ends up arranged, the composition started with a riff.
thebaconflapsable Powerful for sure, it also helps that he's respected and higher in the mix than a lot of metal bassists. Bassists are just a formality in the majority of metal unfortunately
Omair Sheikh I agree. Some metal bassists kill it with amazing bass lines but you can never hear them. My all time favourite bass tone is the dude from Rage Against The Machine, they're like metal/rap.
thebaconflapsable Yeah Cummerford has some pretty filthy bass tones, but very few bassists can compete with the top prog rock bassists like Chris Squire, Wetton, Greg Lake, etc. Some monster tones as well as technique. Other bass beasts are Dave LaRue and Andy West, both of the Dixie Dregs.
+The Modern Hermeticist dude i guess you missed the point in both cases, Nietzche was agnostic he didnt lament anything other than his own mortality and Ozzy is a catholic with air between his ears he didnt write the lirycs of any of his songs, so he doesnt question anything hes all "god bless you all" "we love you" and he means it,,god bless his soul
I don't see why this is attracting so much attention from religious people - this video literally said, the song's about someone who DOESN'T believe that God is dead and is trying to show otherwise. The song ITSELF, for crying out loud, says "I don't believe that God is dead." Twice! But then again, it hasn't historically been very hard to attract such people on RUclips. And for the record, I am a religious person - I just bother to listen to the lyrics of songs.
It's called jumping to conclusions based on wrong presuppositions. Titles and lyrics have to be seen in context and may be written from a third person perspective and not representative of the viewpoint of the artist. Sabbath have taken a lot of unwarranted flak from religious protagonists. I'm a born again believer in the Lord Jesus Christ who's a big metal fan and has long appreciated and enjoyed Sabbath (40 years). What has been said about Sabbath comes very near to bearing false witness which The Almighty don't take very lightly.
Tony Iommi is such a legend!! I have seen black sabbath in 2016, I didn't grow up with them and have only known "iron man", "war pigs" and "paranoid", but damn this man has such a huge presence on stage. He stood there playing his guitar and you instantly knew that this guy is a master guitar player. There are a lot of talented and great players, but his performance was so special, as if he stood in a shiny light of epicness, I will never forget this performance, since then I'm a big fan of BS
as a practicing Catholic. I really admire how honest this question is brought about. if you are humble to yourself enough, you'll realise it's OK to question. it's very natural. I still question, but doesn't mean I'm going to push myself down for it. I hold firm on what I believe in, but its OK to question God with anything, if its sincere.
even if this is ment to ridicule. the fanatics, to which there is. I can use this song as an actual memory of how natural and human we really are. Just like the phrase, God why have you forsaken me? this can be positive.
luiz gustavo or the world needs more people who actually sit down in prayer for hours until the Lord himself actually comes down and you see him face to face. People act like God is so far away but it's those that doubt. I know cause I have seen him face to face.
I've been playing bass guitar for over 30 years and I can attest to the fact that Geezer is a bass master. His playing is always tasteful, inspiring, and just plain killer!
This song was NEVER anti God like many may have thought. In fact, as Geezer said, its about the fact that God is very much alive. Those that listen to the lyrics carefully catch onto this quickly. War Pigs is another ...not Satanic at all, but opposite. Its talking about how the Devil LOVES war basically. Ozzy is sneaky brilliant on his messaging.
michael b Yep, Ozzy wrote Suicide Solution about alcohol abuse because of his friend, Bon Scott, who had died not too long before that because of that very reason! The kid that killed himself was 17, though, not that that matters though!🤷♂️
i first used the measure faith God gives every man when i was at the end of my rope in 1980. The lord answered my prayer & Saved me in that one short prayer e.g.. "all who call upon the name of the Lord will be Saved" i was & still am, after i walked with the Lord of a while i learned i could TRUST the Bible & Jesus... it's all good friend ! Honest... :-)
you would figure these fucking morons would know what the question mark at the end of the song title was for. but then again, i can read the English language and understand what a question is.
People are so fucking stupid. Listen to the song. He says I don’t believe that God is dead. I’m a Christian and I know God is not dead and this song isn’t saying He is🙄
Even if he didn't say that, "god is dead" is just a famous quote from the philospher Frederick Nietzsche. It never was meant to be taken literally in the first place - it's more or less a metaphor for modern society having lost the need for traditional morality
Geezer has pretty much been doing that since the 70's lol, at least with Black Sabbath, as he wrote almost all the lyrics for every song up until Dio joined the band
This is Black Sabbath, the one I grew up with from the first album. I'm lovin' that they went back to their roots and worked with Rick Rueben on this album.
Thank you Geezer and Tony for this interview on 'God Is Dead'. Now I have something to back up what tell my friends about this song. I'm an old fan of your band and very relieved that you are mostly back together. Work on Bill. Get him back. Your fill in drummer is very skilled; but, I doubt anyone can match Bill's style. Each one of you have a brilliant style which matches up with each others style in a very special way. I've studied your music and love the way it's constructed. Best wishes. :)
Krimson Koala but, it is black sabbath, not ozzy solo. he wouldn't just insist on singing something the rest of them are opposed to, given that they are of faith.
+Dan and how can you confirm this? Because he's nota born again? My opinion that comment is taken out of context it was said in. Jesus said that to a Jew, not a Christian. And why are you watching Sabbath videos if you believe they have not been saved?
They played this song for only a month on the radio where I live, and I haven't heard it since then. Guess all the sensitive Religious folks were complaining too much, and they stopped playing it.
Ctorresification Its not just where you live. I believe it was the same almost everywhere tbh. My local radio sucks in general, so you won't hear it on there much. Usually its just the old popular tunes. Last time I heard it on the radio was the same time too.
I saw before a few days an interview with tony iommi from 2020 and he said that geezer butler was originally a guitar player and that he never learn to play the bass guitar but even so he became to be the greatest bass player, those were tony iommi words, I agree with him
Max E fuck album sales, a billion flies eat shit every day does that make it good? popular music is trash with no substance for the most part people are walking cliche's and have nothing in their heads, idgaf about album sales just make good music
It's typical of people to assume the title of the song is exactly what he means. He doesn't say emphatically "God IS Dead." It's "God is dead?" as in....you really think God is dead??? He doesn't believe that he is dead. It's a statement.
You just made me choke on my lunch! :D Holy god, that's fucking hilarious!!! :D :D :D The part that makes it so funny is that it's spot on. Before I even read this while watching the video I was looking at Tony's bad dye job and was thinking to myself. "I've seen that hair somewhere else." Thanks to you now I know just exactly where I have seen it. It was on the self cherishing, douche nozzle Gene Simmons. PMSFL!!!!!
Elijah Warrior do you listen to anything or do you just read the titles. Initial Reaction to the title was you can't sing this Ozzy. Then they realized that Ozzy was asking if God is dead and he is trying to prove he isn't. I don't reject Jesus Christ....But I do reject your twisted views on religion!! Hey, if I die in my sins then I am saved!! I have nothing in my life I regret. I am a good person who helps others regardless of what they believe or who they are. I don't damn people and tell them they are going to hell because of a what they listen to or what they believe!! I accept everyone for who they are EXCEPT religious fanatics. Hey, you should have been alive during the crusades when they massacred innocent people because they don't believe in their "Right" religion. News flash!! Church was built by men. Popes, pastors, preachers, and all the others are men. The bible was written by men and translated and changed so many times. Organized religion is a control over the masses. Religion creates fanatics that are filled with fear and hatred. Every word that comes out of their mouths is dripping with disdain for anyone who doesn't drop down and pray to the almighty lord for forgiveness at listening to a song. If I'm a sinner then so be it. Which one of us will have to answer for their sins against their fellow man? I have no fear or hatred towards others. I don't force my views and damn people UNLESS they do exactly what you do. That just pisses me off because you are damning innocent people over the title of a flipping song. The difference between what you believe and what I believe is simple....I believe in Good "God" / Evil "Devil" is in the heart of the person.
Bravo, bravo! Well said, I have felt that exact same way for 40 years and with that said, I am going to say thank you and move on so I don't keep on and on and on like the response I just discarded that was even longer than the one I'm replying to. Good day!
I get that it was a joke, but people really get confused by it. It's about Nietzsche's assertion that the concept of an all-powerful god is no longer necessary to explain or justify anything.
It's getting comical anymore... I can't believe it's even something that bothers anyone anymore. So much has changed in regards to this in the past 30-40 years. Mick Jagger put it best... "It's only Rock n' Roll, but I like it" Hell... I'm sure there's all kinds of music out there that I wouldn't listen to, but I can't tell you what it is because of that invention called the 'volume knob' and the 'channel selector', If you don't like it, change what you're listening to...
God is alive and well but so is satan. Choose this day who you shall serve...and who you will spend eternity with. For if you reject the Lord Jesus Christ, there remaineth no more sacrifice for your sins.
Anyone can say that God is dead but only one person can prove prove God is alive. Find out who that one person is and read the Bible because there is no book today that can prove that God is dead but there is one that can prove that God is alive
what are you even talking about? there are tons of books that disprove christianity. Read the God Delusion. Unless of course, you would rather stay in your perfect little world where jesus loves you and all is well.
NOBODY, and I mean NOBODY has the right to tell Ozzy what to sing. You should all bow down and thank your maker that you're alive to hear this angelic voice. If Ozzy made a song "white people suck" i'd listen to it. (and i'm white) *OZZY IZ GOD!*
BLASPHEMY! OFF WITH YOUR HEAD! actually, you're right on one account..Tony is definitely more level headed than Ozzy in his current state. Google the Ozzy/Howard Stern interview and you'll see how many people it takes to make sure Ozzy doesn't fall off the wagon. However, to say he's a sellout and can't sing...you're tawkin' outta your ass pal! ;)
+Mathieu Pharand I grew up in a Christian family, went to Sunday school...religion was definitely forced upon me. And +Funk5Punk is right, Money is now our god....do I like it? Absolutely not, but enough people already worship it, and it all kind of goes like Sunday school all over again...except Money is true evil
Nowadays by no accident fluoride is put in almost everything we ingest. Fluoride targets and calcifies the pineal-gland. The pineal-gland is located in the mid-brain and is known as the seat-of-the-soul/third-eye/ajna chakra. A supremely healthy ajna chakra will receive the Holy Spirit vibrational frequencies/Supreme Universal Consciousness/God. Typically all communist societies (Marxist Obama) will tend to abolish religious and or philosophic thought practices because the State needs to be viewed as the supreme authority. Power hungry authoritarians detest human natural law provided by a higher infinite universal order/God. This is the goal of the NWO. Do not play their game. De-calcify your pineal-gland and know God because the goal should be to rise in consciousness/reincarnate to a higher level next life(s).
***** I'm in good company because in 1945 the Japanese Leaders scoffed at and imprisoned George Ohsawa because he kept trying to warn the Government Leaders not to go up against the mighty materialistic western USA. He foresaw and predicted great harm coming to the Japanese Nation. George Ohsawa then helped heal many victims of radiation poisoning by feeding them seaweed. George Ohsawa was one of the wisest people to have walked planet earth in these modern times.
Bob Dyrcon Perhaps not with an older (no offense) crowd that you are in (I want to say...30+?) but in young people. I have seen more and more people stop following religion each day. There is less religious indoctrination today than there was 70 years ago. Then, to not believe in God was taboo and reprehensible. Tolerance in the USA is rising and people aren't as afraid to take a stance against the institution of Christianity. And I never said everywhere. I merely mean in the US.
***** I know what I see and feel. I see no God, I only can see people starving everywhere and people who have anything they want and preach God's will and other stuff. God never existed for the poor, so God never existed for me too. God only "exists" for the rich, who preaches about him and ignore "him" at the same time. In the name of the God, humanity made wars and monstrosities like inquisition. "Religion is an insult to human dignity. With or without it you would have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things. But for good people to do evil things, that takes religion." Steven Weinberg By the way, this song is a masterpiece.
God is very much alive and lives within each of us.. although i am a bassist with sabbath influences from geezer and all.. i have a strong belief in God.

Never can understand Ozzy when he talks, but when he sings I understand every word.
I know, right?
I understand most of what he says...I don't know how, but I do.
Thebe Bashaleebee when he was younger he spoke clearly just too many years of boozing it up.
it is because music is ozzy's first language. he's primal
Eyellgeteven few months ago I watched Ozzy's interview with English subs..I literally felt of my chair laughing at this.
Tony Iommi is the master of riffs.
Yes, yes he is! My uncle and I once got into a debate about who was better Iommi or Sattriani.
mokiepoet I would say that Satriani knows a lot more about the music than Iommi, but Iommi uses his knowledge better.
Satriani all the way.
Lorax 👍🏻🤘🏻
You spelled Eddie Van Halen wrong.
They both look like Al Pacino playing two characters at the same time!! Incredible talent

+Nolan Moore Make up and lighting does miracles, not saying your wrong but it does make it all look better.
+MrShadowofthewind very little make-up there mate - Geezer's a vegan!
+Derek Nykamp Very little make up does alot on camera.
So true. The one that is missing, Bill Ward, is really the one who looks like shit. All the rest are like immortals \m/

I agree back in 2013 you couldn't say God is Dead. I mean Lemmy was alive and well.
That's why there's a Question Mark at the end , lol .
xD true
Nietzsche said God is dead over 100 years ago
In my opinion how could god be dead anyways if he don't even really exist? but I love Sabbath and this video is great
You could say God is Dead back in 2013 . Dio died 2010
Ozzy is one of the only artists you can be blindfolded and know it's his voice
I wanna put Dexter Holland (offspring) on this list. you just know lol
That's true
Well Freddie Mercury counts as one of those people too : D
Dio, Rob Halford, Bruce Dickinson
Beg the differ not too ñong ago i heard thins band, i never heard before and there is one song , when he sings i swear its ozzy but hes not. Insane.

Similar to the title of the Ozzy song 'Thank God For The Bomb'...taken out of context it can sound provocative.
When I read the title, my immediate response was that they thought he is incapable of vocally singing the song
Well that is not something new among the BS fans

Damn right
His best
Me too!
I find the drums sound kickass!
geezer butler was simply magnificent in this song especially around the 7:25 mark. criminally underrated bassist.
Geezer Butler underrated? lol
i mean people wax lyrical about les claypool and flea and geddy lee all the time and barely pay attention to guys like geezer or steve harris
Bass players in general get the shaft.
Considering every sludge / stoner / doom band on the planet worship him, I think he has the ratings he deserves.
I've been playing bass guitar for over 30 years and I can attest to the fact that Geezer is a bass master.
His playing is always tasteful, inspiring, and just plain killer!
i love their calmness and skill in music still one of the best band ever

Yes, and Master of Reality is a somewhat Christian album.
Geezer Butler is one of the greatest songwriters, ever. Very underrated lyricist.
Yeah, everybody thinks Ozzy wrote all the lyrics.
It's sad how people ignore the lyrics and the context, and are so comfortable in their ignorance.
TheMtnMan From Tennessee yeah I no; Ozzie the evangelist and they are so ignorant they think he's property of Satan, citizen of hell, right?
Right?

Thanks man the same thing happened to me in 04 peace metal and God bless PS Tony and Jake e Lee rule all time Lord's of metal
Same here, man.
Actually if you take a look at the lyrics of God is Dead is Ozzy is actually saying that in the last line 'I don't believe that God is dead".
the he sings "God is dead... God is dead... God is dead... "
Victor Martins God is dead is said by the voices in his head, he doesn't say God is dead.
you would figure these fucking morons would know what the question mark at the end of the song title was for. but then again, i can read the English language and understand what a question is.

One does not tell ozzy what he can sing
At least , not in the simple way .
Chris Betts it should be one does not simply tell Ozzy what he can sing but anyways good thinking
Fairy Tail yeyyy !!
Guys i can show u the God right now. Just look at my profile pic ahaha
Geezer has pretty much been doing that since the 70's lol, at least with Black Sabbath, as he wrote almost all the lyrics for every song up until Dio joined the band
Oozy is amazing I play his music in my class all the time and my students love it also god is always watching ✝️👍🇺🇸Ozzy we love you
such an atmospheric song this is.
"God is alive & well" Amen Geezer!

Thank you Tony and Geezer , GOD is so alive and well,
God bless all of you guys amen 🙏
This is Black Sabbath, the one I grew up with from the first album. I'm lovin' that they went back to their roots and worked with Rick Rueben on this album.
Iommi is looking a little more vital here again and that's encouraging. That quiet charisma shines through regardless of his battle.

Krimson Koala whatever Ozzy sings, people would like it, believe me.
Krimson Koala ..he always has,hasnt he? Lmmao
I don't.
cant believe theyre still so good
Yes he can.
YES HE DID
from what i'm gathering between this and another interview, this song is a response to Nietzsche saying God is dead
Sabbath is the most prolific Christian Metal band in history, and nobody knows it.
That's not too far from the truth.
Except nobody in Black Sabbath has received Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior if there is one please say so
+Dan and how can you confirm this? Because he's nota born again? My opinion that comment is taken out of context it was said in. Jesus said that to a Jew, not a Christian. And why are you watching Sabbath videos if you believe they have not been saved?
+Dan Geezer is catholic and believes in jesus, there is a song called after forever, pretty Christian actually and was written by him
Lord of this World
Love this song! Some songs on the newest album are just instant classics \m/
I remember when God Is Dead came out and all the religious fanatics flipped out because of the title alone without listening to the lyrics.
They just see what they want to see, hear what they want to hear and judge accordingly
They played this song for only a month on the radio where I live, and I haven't heard it since then. Guess all the sensitive Religious folks were complaining too much, and they stopped playing it.
Ctorresification Its not just where you live. I believe it was the same almost everywhere tbh. My local radio sucks in general, so you won't hear it on there much. Usually its just the old popular tunes. Last time I heard it on the radio was the same time too.
Like Walk With Me in Hell by Lamb of God. Has nothing to do with Hell
Floyd Hunter , I remember also and I don't remember anyone flipping out. You're lying.
But the real question is not if God is dead, it is if Dio is dead.
DIO is not dead, he is giving The Lord Metal Lessons!
Eh, same thing.
Dio is eternal.
Dio is with Murray now...and if you don't know who 'Murray' is, then you don't know Dio!
Dio is stuck in stoped time
lol to everyone who misses the question mark on the title.
Flippin love these guys they're incredible. Geezers biography is awesome
Geezer Butler helped me learn to play electric bass. I mean by listening to their music, love Black Sabbath.
Don't tell ozzy he cant sing anything because he will defiantly sing it!
Tony Iommi is best guitarist of all time
"We started off with a riff" what a shock lol. God bless Tony
I love the riff Tony Martin came up with for this song, it shreds
Mr. Iommi & Mr. Butler look Marvelous. The GodFathers of All Metal Rythm Sections.
It's a great song I wish bill was part of it
Wish they would have kept Ozzy's lyrics
TakeToTheShadows they did dumbass.
God is alive and well.
Sharp looking perm&dye job Tony!...Rock On!
I saw before a few days an interview with tony iommi from 2020 and he said that geezer butler was originally a guitar player and that he never learn to play the bass guitar but even so he became to be the greatest bass player, those were tony iommi words, I agree with him
I miss those days. The music today just lost its spirit.
7 years ago? Lol
Why is everyone making a big deal Nietzsche said God is dead over 100 years ago
That's precisely the problem. It's not edgy enough nor new but still has the potential to offend alot of people. Not good for album sales.
Max E fuck album sales, a billion flies eat shit every day does that make it good? popular music is trash with no substance for the most part people are walking cliche's and have nothing in their heads, idgaf about album sales just make good music
Music is more of a business than an art.
0:23 "and you're watching anime.com"
I really thought that’s what he said 😅
dude i love tony hes riffs are so sick
those 2 guys are so fantastic man
It's typical of people to assume the title of the song is exactly what he means. He doesn't say emphatically "God IS Dead." It's "God is dead?" as in....you really think God is dead??? He doesn't believe that he is dead. It's a statement.
Folk forget the question mark. The song's title is 'God is dead?". Just saying :-/
God is real and alive
No
Great band! Great lyrics!
Geezers bass on this song punches u right in the mouth love it!
--This video is fine, but it doesn't say anything about Ozzy not singing the song.--
Thanks everyone for clearing that up for me.
Yes it does.
Conor Hill About where in the video?
Watch and listen to Geezer
Conor Hill Oops. Didn't realize it was less than two minutes long. Thought it was much longer. Still didn't hear it. Anyway. . .
Donald Miller It's there
Gene Simmons and Tony's barber is off the hook. When I get that old I'll seek him out for my black motorcycle helmet, as well.
You just made me choke on my lunch! :D Holy god, that's fucking hilarious!!! :D :D :D The part that makes it so funny is that it's spot on. Before I even read this while watching the video I was looking at Tony's bad dye job and was thinking to myself. "I've seen that hair somewhere else." Thanks to you now I know just exactly where I have seen it. It was on the self cherishing, douche nozzle Gene Simmons. PMSFL!!!!!
nitemareman1 bro comment of the year
Elijah Warrior do you listen to anything or do you just read the titles. Initial Reaction to the title was you can't sing this Ozzy. Then they realized that Ozzy was asking if God is dead and he is trying to prove he isn't.
I don't reject Jesus Christ....But I do reject your twisted views on religion!! Hey, if I die in my sins then I am saved!! I have nothing in my life I regret. I am a good person who helps others regardless of what they believe or who they are. I don't damn people and tell them they are going to hell because of a what they listen to or what they believe!! I accept everyone for who they are EXCEPT religious fanatics. Hey, you should have been alive during the crusades when they massacred innocent people because they don't believe in their "Right" religion.
News flash!! Church was built by men. Popes, pastors, preachers, and all the others are men. The bible was written by men and translated and changed so many times. Organized religion is a control over the masses. Religion creates fanatics that are filled with fear and hatred. Every word that comes out of their mouths is dripping with disdain for anyone who doesn't drop down and pray to the almighty lord for forgiveness at listening to a song.
If I'm a sinner then so be it. Which one of us will have to answer for their sins against their fellow man? I have no fear or hatred towards others. I don't force my views and damn people UNLESS they do exactly what you do. That just pisses me off because you are damning innocent people over the title of a flipping song.
The difference between what you believe and what I believe is simple....I believe in Good "God" / Evil "Devil" is in the heart of the person.
NOYA who are you responding to?
Bravo, bravo! Well said, I have felt that exact same way for 40 years and with that said, I am going to say thank you and move on so I don't keep on and on and on like the response I just discarded that was even longer than the one I'm replying to. Good day!
The open legend of ozzy kept it in
Good to hear even the gods are like, " we just jam around ,..and build it up"....
...god was never alive to be dead.
Hey, I'm guessing if you can be alive, so can God, right?
...no.
I get that it was a joke, but people really get confused by it. It's about Nietzsche's assertion that the concept of an all-powerful god is no longer necessary to explain or justify anything.
...sure, why not?
Steak, thin-cut, or freedom?
Said the avarage contemporary childish person who thinks atheism is a cool and new idea
JESUS CHRIST = every knee shall bow and every tongue will confess that HE is LORD.
It's getting comical anymore... I can't believe it's even something that bothers anyone anymore. So much has changed in regards to this in the past 30-40 years. Mick Jagger put it best... "It's only Rock n' Roll, but I like it" Hell... I'm sure there's all kinds of music out there that I wouldn't listen to, but I can't tell you what it is because of that invention called the 'volume knob' and the 'channel selector', If you don't like it, change what you're listening to...
Geezer we love your lyrical talent man!!!!!!!
Thank you Artists. Your friends in the stars "Shine".
God is alive and well but so is satan. Choose this day who you shall serve...and who you will spend eternity with. For if you reject the Lord Jesus Christ, there remaineth no more sacrifice for your sins.
Well, it's official: Ozzy can't sing anymore.
why?
Anyone can say that God is dead but only one person can prove prove God is alive. Find out who that one person is and read the Bible because there is no book today that can prove that God is dead but there is one that can prove that God is alive
+Dan I don't think even you know what you just said there.
I don't even understand what you said there.
what are you even talking about? there are tons of books that disprove christianity. Read the God Delusion. Unless of course, you would rather stay in your perfect little world where jesus loves you and all is well.
+ClassicRock Guitar
The God Delusion by Richard Dawkins.
Never been a Religious person since I read it.
Man there so badass man there all in black there legit the fathers of metal so sick I fucken love sabbath🤟
I misread the title as "we told Ozzy he couldn't sing", and was getting ready to say yes he can.
He is not!!!
NOBODY, and I mean NOBODY has the right to tell Ozzy what to sing.
You should all bow down and thank your maker that you're alive to hear this angelic voice. If Ozzy made a song "white people suck" i'd listen to it. (and i'm white)
*OZZY IZ GOD!*
BLASPHEMY!
OFF WITH YOUR HEAD!
actually, you're right on one account..Tony is definitely more level headed than Ozzy in his current state. Google the Ozzy/Howard Stern interview and you'll see how many people it takes to make sure Ozzy doesn't fall off the wagon.
However, to say he's a sellout and can't sing...you're tawkin' outta your ass pal! ;)
Our God is the Money and is praised by both Christians and Atheists. So you are all religious after all.
+Funk5Punk Wow, that was deep.
+John Joseph C deep like a puddle
+Funk5Punk Something forced onto you isn't a god.
+Mathieu Pharand I grew up in a Christian family, went to Sunday school...religion was definitely forced upon me. And +Funk5Punk is right, Money is now our god....do I like it? Absolutely not, but enough people already worship it, and it all kind of goes like Sunday school all over again...except Money is true evil
+Mathieu Pharand But I do agree with your original comment, people find God...it isn't forced, but inspired, you could say, divinely
the opening to this song is so dark and great. Unlike the other 'old' bands who play old music, Sabbath makes new music
this song gives me chills...
666 likes... i'm just saying
Mephistolomaniac i believe that number has changed now...
Am I watching anime?
He can't sing that Bigfoot is dead either.
sparkymoo haha ripped outta my mind and laughed hard as shit hah
sparkymoo
Worst comparison I’ve ever read hahaha
Bigfoot's not dead. He looked into my window and I pissed myself.
Greatest Hard Rock Band to ever play! I sold my soul to Black Sabbath!
the real, true, one and only Black Sabbath = Tony and Geezer.
God isn't dead. Can't kill what isn't real. Faith in god is dying however.
Nowadays by no accident fluoride is put in almost everything we ingest. Fluoride targets and calcifies the pineal-gland. The pineal-gland is located in the mid-brain and is known as the seat-of-the-soul/third-eye/ajna chakra. A supremely healthy ajna chakra will receive the Holy Spirit vibrational frequencies/Supreme Universal Consciousness/God. Typically all communist societies (Marxist Obama) will tend to abolish religious and or philosophic thought practices because the State needs to be viewed as the supreme authority. Power hungry authoritarians detest human natural law provided by a higher infinite universal order/God. This is the goal of the NWO. Do not play their game. De-calcify your pineal-gland and know God because the goal should be to rise in consciousness/reincarnate to a higher level next life(s).
Faith in God is dying everywhere? Where?
***** I'm in good company because in 1945 the Japanese Leaders scoffed at and imprisoned George Ohsawa because he kept trying to warn the Government Leaders not to go up against the mighty materialistic western USA. He foresaw and predicted great harm coming to the Japanese Nation. George Ohsawa then helped heal many victims of radiation poisoning by feeding them seaweed. George Ohsawa was one of the wisest people to have walked planet earth in these modern times.
Bob Dyrcon Perhaps not with an older (no offense) crowd that you are in (I want to say...30+?) but in young people. I have seen more and more people stop following religion each day. There is less religious indoctrination today than there was 70 years ago. Then, to not believe in God was taboo and reprehensible. Tolerance in the USA is rising and people aren't as afraid to take a stance against the institution of Christianity. And I never said everywhere. I merely mean in the US.
:)
You cannot say God is dead, because God never born.
nor existed
***** I know what I see and feel.
I see no God, I only can see people starving everywhere and people who have anything they want and preach God's will and other stuff.
God never existed for the poor, so God never existed for me too.
God only "exists" for the rich, who preaches about him and ignore "him" at the same time.
In the name of the God, humanity made wars and monstrosities like inquisition.
"Religion is an insult to human dignity. With or without it you would have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things. But for good people to do evil things, that takes religion." Steven Weinberg
By the way, this song is a masterpiece.
filippos maybe it's outside our five pathetic sense range
Tiocfaidh ár lá or he is inside your imagination or not ;)
filippos Man, You Atheists call Christians stupid and then you seem to make it your sole purpose to start these comment wars
tony iommi: ur watching anime.co
God is very much alive and lives within each of us.. although i am a bassist with sabbath influences from geezer and all.. i have a strong belief in God.
Love this song
