I am a metal head at heart...(from my high school days)...Never got into Black Sabbath too much....
I think its WAY BETTER than Ozzy's solo stuff....

Yeah, my Sabbath phase was during my first year of high school. Ozzy's solo career is cheesy 80's stuff, ('cept for the Randy Rhoads era, which was great), but Sabbath is CRUSHING, and they're nice and scary, but not TOO scary. Nice balance. I can't believe I still love them, I should HATE them by now! First time listening to them in like a year. Forget nu-metal, this is the shit.
Symptom of the Universe fucking rocks! Sheeee-it!

I see all these young scamps wandering around city centres dressed in Slipknot t-shirts and think fondly of my days as a young metalhead. This nu-metal is shit though. I saw Limp Bizkit about 6 years ago and never thought they've get this big. They're sooo shit.
Sabbath are the real deal.

Black Sabbath Paranoid, its to metal like SAW1 and Surfing sine waves is to "IDM(strupid fucking label)"
Paranoid is SO funny too... listen to Ozzy's lyrics, they sound like they were written by a 13 year old. the anti-war epic "war pigs" is so juvenile but true. "electric funeral" is the funniest! 'rat salad" is a retarded drum solo.... but to even top that, try listening to their first album's bass solo! compare it to Squarepusher.
Black Sabbath Paranoid is the 'death metal' starting point.... to try the start of 'punk metal', you gotta get Raw Power from Iggy Pop and the Stooges, one of the greatest rock records ever.

Hehe! i downloaded a 2 disc "Best Of" tonight.
Man! I had forgotten how awesome they really where. Supernaught , snowblind ,Symptom of the Universe , Tomorrows Dream , The wizard ,Spiral Architect . PLanet Caravan.. .. Its all good.
I get goose bumps almost everytime i hear the opening church bells in their self titled track "Black Sabbath" .
Such a dark , heavy and atmospheric track. I wondered what people at the time thought when they first heard it , singing about satan and stuff in the seventies hehe!

Hehe, I recently went into yet ANOTHER Black Sabbath rediscovery period recently... I do that every year, at least once.
One of the things that stand out with the Ozzy era Sabbath... how eclectic they were. Seriously, going through their catalog, they're not the numbskulled powerchord metal group many people make them out to be. Sabotage and Sabbath Bloody Sabbath are downright experimental and nearly proggy in places. Beatlesque pop, synth pop, acoustic instrumentals, blues rock, choral/orchestral dabbling, chamber arrangements, electronic noise experiments, jazz fusion, thrash, middle east sounds, folk, a touch of medieval influence in things like Don't Start, piano pop, ballads of all shapes and sizes... what didn't they do?
Of course, most of it is silly and misguided, but there's a lot of gems in their canon that aren't metal at all... Fluff is a wonderful instrumental, and I think the best song they ever did was Spiral Architect... not the typical Sabbath ''sound'' at all.

Sabbath kicked ass! Too bad Ozzy can barely talk anymore yet continues to perform.
Sabbath + Maiden + Priest = Grand Triumvirate Of Heavy Metal

That is indeed radical... it's an awesome album, I love Children of the Sea. But I can't rate it up there with Sabbath Bloody Sabbath and the original. I don't like the production values as much.
Mob Rules was good, as well. Dio Sabbath definitely put out some worthwhile material. The worst Sabbath album I have is Forbidden... I think Ice T raps on it.

i dig the first few sabbath albums...
there's a lot of great black sabbath covers out there that i prefer to the originals. kyuss did a great version of into the void, brutal truth and soilent green each did great versions of lord of this world, etc. there's a whole lot of excellent covers out there which are sometimes heavier and often better.
