ozzy85 Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 So we have a Motorhead thread. Anyone into Sabbath? I like all eras of Sabbath, but I lean a little heavier toward the Ozz-era (probably apparent.) My Holy Trinity of bass players is Geddy Lee, John Paul Jones, and Geezer Butler. Quit getting haircuts 20 years ago and started playing bass due to these guys. Some favorite albums; Black Sabbath Sabotage Technical Ecstasy Mob Rules Eternal Idol Like Rush, this is a band that manages to not have any albums I totally dislike. If this thread has been done before, I apologize. I've been here only a couple of months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Owl Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 I am a sabbath fan, but I really haven't listened to much past the Dio era. I thought it was cool that "Heaven and Hell" was a song chosen for the GTA4 soundtrack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRocinanteKid Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 I can't f***ing stand Ozzy Osbourne or his horrible, horrible lyrics, that said I consider Sabbath Bloody Sabbath and Master Of Reality absolutely brilliant albums. Nothing touches Heaven & Hell though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paranoid, Master of Reality and Heaven and Hell are my favorite albums. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, most people don't give them credit for there slower music. I love Ozzy's voice on those tunes and the music is awesome!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

treeduck Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 Yes, I regularly get out my black box (vinyls have now been retired) of the Ozzy-era albums and the Dio-era albums and the Heaven & Hell live album. I might even find a copy of the Gillan-era Born Again, I haven't heard that album since about 1983... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tull Fan Too Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 Yep, I'm a fan of Sabbath. I have the "Black Box" and all the Dio-era albums. Great stuff! Can't wait to see Heaven and Hell! Woot! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ozzy85 Posted June 17, 2008 Author Share Posted June 17, 2008 I find it interesting that Sabotage gets such a high rating from people. It seems to be a fave on the Sabbath site I hang out at. Oddly, it came out during a time of chaos in the band (bad management, trying to put a lid on drug use,) but is such a consistently good album. I've seen Ozzy live a couple of times, but not Black Sabbath. I'm hoping to rectify that with Heaven and Hell. It's basically the Sabbath '82-83 lineup.

treeduck Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 While we're talking Sabs, I just thought I'd say, I really love the jazzy Iommi solo in Air Dance from Never Say Die, a classy moment... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Presto-digitation Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 Sabbath was the first metal band. How can anyone not like some aspect of Black Sabbath? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Presto-digitation Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 I agree that Heaven & Hell is the best Sabbath record. Sabbath Bloody Sabbath is second in my book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally I don't cmpare Ozzy-era Sabbath with Dio-era Sabbath, they're like two different bands really, and Dio-era Sabs even go by a different name these days which kind of makes my point for me.

Alex Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 Its a band that I choose to rock out too, some find them to be "Gods of Rock" which is out of the question. Not in terms of talent but more just because of their awesomeness, this is an amazing band. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ancient Ways Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 (edited) Huge Sabbath fan although I don't listen much anymore. I wore out those records as a kid. I have a hard time rating them but Paranoid, Volume IV, and Sabbath Bloody Sabbath were my faves from the Oz era. H&H and MR were both good. I remember listening to Live Evil a lot when it came out. My bands always played Paranoid, War Pigs, Iron Man, N.I.B., Sweet Leaf, etc... we might as well have been a Sabbath Tribute band but we didn't know that was possible. Edit: The Gillian album was ok (he was out of his element) but Trashed is awesome. there was no Tequila.....

Did Lee Squat? Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 The only Sabbath albums I have are the self-titled debut, Paranoid, and Master of Reality, and I like all of them, quite a lot, especially Paranoid. I need to ask my dad if he has any more Sabbath vinyls he can convert before I go on a buying spree... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
