It's kind of funny to watch those old videos with Ozzy and Randy Rhoads, because Randy looks like a child next to Ozzy. :p

I prefer Black Sabbath.. \m/ My first concert was an Ozzy Osbourne concert when I was 7...

7... nice. I was 18 when I went to my first concert. The wonders of having parents who don't want you to listen to music, then don't give you any money, and then you compound the problem by having no job.

I like some Sabbath stuff but it pisses me off when people say they're the heaviest band in the world. They did a hell of a lot to pave the way for death metal, and for that they should be given lots of respect. But I guess I've never really seen the attraction to them.

I've never heard anyone try to claim they are the hardest band in the world. I think you're missing others' point. Black Sabbath are to heavy metal what The Beatles are to pop/rock music. Although when you compare their music with must generations later, it may appear they aren't groundbreaking, when you compare Sabbath to any music prior to them, you'll see why they are the grandfathers of heavy metal. I'm not the biggest Sabbath fan, I can see Sabbath and Zeppelin are the beginning of true hard rock/metal.

Before Sabbath/Zeppelin, there was no hard rock, IMO.

dude i like ozzys stuff but i dont understand how people like blizzard of ozz better than sabbath, sabbath is the best and it was when ozzy was in his prime. i see ozzys solo as allmost a 80 band, not as bad as hair bands. but i do agree randy rules, fucking shame what happend.

ps. bill ward fucking owns the drums

Are you serious???

War Pigs
Generals gathered in their masses
just like witches at black masses
evil minds that plot destruction
sorcerers of death's construction
in the fields the bodies burning
as the war machine keeps turning
death and hatred to mankind
poisoning their brainwashed minds... Oh lord yeah

Politicians hide themselves away
they only started the war
Why should they go out to fight?
They leave that role to the poor

Time will tell on their power minds
Making war just for fun
Treating people just like pawns in chess
Wait 'till their judgement day comes, yeah

Now in darkness, world stops turning
as the war machine keeps burning
No more war pigs have the power
Hand of god has struck the hour
Day of judgement, god is calling
on their knees, the war pigs crawling
Begging mercy for their sins
Satan, laughing, spreads his wings
ALL RIGHT NOW

What's not to love?...Killer guitar and awesome drums on this one, too:)

I love that song, but then I love pretty much ALL of Black Sabbath's stuff. I remember the first time I heard War Pigs, only it was a cover version done by Faith No More, not Black Sabbath. It was on "The Real Thing" album, I believe. That was a great album, by the way. But, back to Sabbath, I thought one of their most unusual albums was "Sabotage." I have not been able to find this one anywhere on CD. I used to have the old vinyl record version, but lost it years ago. The whole sound of it was very...ummm...eerie. I liked it. They had a style all their own. Nobody else has ever sounded like them. Some people have said that Nirvana had Sabbath elements in their music,:rolleyes: I think not. Nobody sounds like Ozzy, which is why I never really liked any of their other albums they did with various frontmen. Well, Ronnie James Dio was OK on the Heaven and Hell album, but the rest were inferior, IMO.

Favorite Sabbath tracks:

Changes
War Pigs
Am I going Insane?
Iron Man
Planet Caravan (Remember the Pantera cover of this one?)
Black Sabbath (Intresting idea. Naming a song after the band)
Stonehenge
Hole In The Sky
Paranoid
Rat Salad
Electric Funeral

In my opinion, there were similarities between the two - they both get sucked off by Kerrang! Magazine in every issue with at least two mentions per article on anything to do with rock/metal. But yeah, musically there are no similar sounds at all.

Well, Sabbath deserves all the sucking off it gets. As for Nirvana, uuuhhh......NEVERMIND. LOL
