Iommi never runs out of riffs

Respect to black Sabbath but dam cutting out bill of all the pictures dam he was the back bone of black Sabbath sound

I guess that Bill didn't even exist right?.... It seems soooo fake, when they cut him out of the pictures. And what pissed me off the most was Brad Wilk, when he said "those 3 guys were making baddass music..."

A band is only as good as the rhythm section. Bill and Geezer are unmatched as a unit. Bill Ward is a powerful force. He hit the skins with his heart. You don't hear it but you feel it.

Fucking love that they put Megalomania in here, it's one of their greatest & most underrated songs.

There's no Black Sabbath without Bill fucken Ward

People can talk all the shit they want when it came down to the whole situation with this album and their last tour, but this album is phenomenal and I think Brad Wilk was a great fill-in on this piece.

Yeah, so Bill Ward is missing now..... He didn't sign on for the reunion..... Gotta respect his/their wishes BUT without Bill, the bottom end doesn't swing like it did back the 70's..........Sabbath sounds different....not better or worse, just different.... Rubin did a good job at trying to capture the olden-days-vibe but without Mr. Ward, it wasn't gonna happen no matter what.......Best record of the year though....EASILY!!!

As a lifetime fan of Black Sabbath, it will be a devastating loss to the music industry when these guys finally pass... BLACK SABBATH FOREVER!

they are the masters,grew up with sabbath..i am 55 and still love that sound. a three piece band has that unique sound!!! long live Black Sabbath

Ozzy really seems cleaned up here. This is probably the most literate interview I've seen him in in decades

I love the hard rock/heavy metal of the 60s and 70s. It's so original and cut and dry than today's stuff.

People are still on with this? It was Bill's decision to have himself taken out of all those pictures. Seriously, this was common knowledge like a year ago.

01:49 That guitar 'tone' ! Perfect.....

""I don't think jazz I don't think blues I just think what I do you know"" GOOOODD

This is a very important topic on Sabbath. Even when i was a kid in the seventies i knew Sabbath's sound was ORIGINAL and UNIQUE amongst all the normalised overdrives, fuzzes and distortions.( apart from tuning down which was totally original at the time )

What Brad said:- "these three guys who are in their 60's are making heavier and more bad-assed music than most are in their 30's." Take note, boy bands.

"Megalomania" from the album "Sabotage".

Trying to capture the early Sabbath sound without Bill... Well sorry, but you're only going to get 75%...

The riff at 2:25 is so badass! Heavy as hell!

Bill was such a huge part of their sound. How could they do this without him?

Shame about Bill and yes he was/is instrumental to the whole sound of Sabbath. I guess they could not work out the contracts and money deal.....shame that it got to that point and they forgot they used to be friends at one time that just loved playing music together.

GEEZER YOU ARE ONE LUCKY SOB,PLAY BASS WITH ONE OF THE GREATEST LEAD GUITARISTS ON EARTH,AND DEFINITELY THE GREATEST DRUMMERS PERIOD,RESPECT

im sad that what they do is a lost art. they are the epitome of rock and metal

Bill Ward is god of the melodic drum and important part of sabbath

I can't believe Brad Wilk recorded for Sabbath, so awesome.

Take note from Zeppelin, no drummer NO BAND, when Bonzo died they broke up, Bill is an amazing drummer as well and should not be cut out of pictures!

One of the best Rock n Roll bands ever! The best in concert (for me) personally.

The treble boost pedal that Tony used with his Laney amp on the original Black Sabbath album helped to create an awesome sound! "A Bit of Finger / Sleeping Village / Warning" is Hard Rock SG Riffing that ONLY TONY can perform. That whole track is bad-ass to the 13th power! It would be cool if Tony would bring back that kind of sound for a future song. Not that I'm complaining at all about what he did on this new album. It would be nice to hear that kind of tone make an appearance again.

As other Black Sabbath fans have pointed out here, it is well out-of-order to leave photos with Bill Ward out of this clip. Bill was 25% of the Sabbath sound!

the inventers and good fathers of metal

deep knowledge about occultism..on the black sabbath lyrics...I think the big brain is Mr.Geezer...and is one of the best bass players in this planet...

Consider the fact that Sabbath's first 2 albums came out whilst the Beatles were still together, and you get an idea of how ahead of their time the band was.

these dudes in their 60's now are making more badass music than some major artist in their 30's. - Brad Wilk (drummer)

bill is a man who if he has to do something he gives everything..and with him knowing he cant leave it all out there on stage he didnt do the end tour...just another bill ward comment

That which Black Sabbath do is a lost art 🎶🔥✌

I just cannot wait to hear this.

As good an album as could be made, as Ozzy says, & not follow "Never Say Die". Killer riffs, lyrically relevant, great melodies (even though we now know Ozzy was drinking a bit during process), no more could have been expected from these guys. They delivered. imo Well into their 60's with Tony's illness, Bill's decision or non-decision + other issues, it could've been a travesty. It wasn't THAT, 4 DAMNED sure. Saludos to the Originators. Ain't but One Band from Birmingham that has this sound. No one can fill their shoes, even 3/4th of them. Although many have & continue to try. Happy that I got to see them in their heyday in the 70's. Great time to grow up. Thanks.......

And they played with him.. what an honour for them!

Bill was physicly unable to rejoin the band. Unfortunately he was out of condition to play a 2 hour gig. I feel very sorry for Bill, cause i think he really would have wanted to do this if he was able to... But let's all support Black Sabbath! i Think it's amazing that these old fellows can still rock this shit.. Black Sabbath forever

Ozzy is great, I love Black Sabbath!! Respect from Russia! \m/

Thanks man!

i really look forward to this album... i think it's gonna be great

Saw them in the Fillmore East in the late 80 s .Great a wall of Marshall amp great show

Germany (Berlin) is waiting for you, guys!!! \m/

legends

PERFECT...

The coven is broken. The magic is gone.

Good music is timeless. 🤘

I would had gone to their farewell concert. I decided I wouldn’t waste my money without Bill Ward playing!

Sabbath is best band of all time, but total BS they way they act like Bill Ward never even existed. Not cool.

i love sabbath all mi life...strong music for strong people...

1 minute of silence for Rick's beard

@2:57 the heavey metal think tank at work 🤘🤘💀☠☠

Man I can't even begin to fathem the great hits they would have put out if ozzy was never fired..but even still black Sabbath didn't pack up and go home they strived just like ozzy did..by finding the right vocalist or musician ect..with or without ozzy I still love black Sabbath and always will thanks to everyone in black Sabbath for coming forth with that deeeeeepppppp and dark vibrations that us so called punk rockers that thought we have heard it all (musicaly) until y'all came forth and but out hits that go's past the flesh into the soul..thanks again ozzy and every one in black Sabbath rest in peace ronnie James dio with was fantastic with the group that heaven and hell song was amazing I love watching the live version of it a lot and wishing I had just half of y'alls talent it wouldn't help me though with the stage fright 1000 people looking at me I would probably half to pull a first on stage "Jim Morrison" of the doors on the crowd of people and sing with my back to them 😆

Ozzy comments like if he is a composer,the talent is and always will be Iommi, Ozzy is just an interpreter and damn lucky to be with Iommi and Butler again

The 13 album musically wasn't a bad album, but lyrically well...Just my two cents, I still love them...

13 was great, it was bills loss not participating, they pulled it off perfectly!

Yea you really tried to get back to the sound, with all that compression and shit right?

The saddest fact of all this is that some people honestly think Sabbath's the only act out there that does the "slow metal; dirge lyrics; heavy riffage" schtick not knowing there's a whole genre called doom metal (and arguably stoner rock) dedicated to it.

I'm so excited wow

56 years old and lifelong Sabbath fan. Lots of negativity in these comments. In 20 years they'll all be dead, and then you can find something else to whine about. God bless Black Sabbath!!

only 2 days left till they release the studio version of "end of the beginning". can't wait!

I had refused to listen to this album because of the deal with Bill, I finally gave it a shot because my band members want to cover Pariah and I had to learn it. I have to say that they did a pretty good job of catching the original sound, but it still isn't Black Sabbath without the drumming of Bill Ward. I guess to me, being a Fan from the start, back in 70', Black Sabbath is a band like Led Zeppelin, or Emerson Lake and Palmer, or the Who ( to a degree) and when one of the original members die, that's it, they will never regain the sound again, because the sound was something that only came from these certain people playing together. I like this guy's drumming, he's a good choice to cover Bill, but he isn't Bill and no one can be, except BILL. I wish they hadn't used the name black Sabbath on this album because it's not. I was happy when they called the band "Heaven and Hell" with Ronnie because it wasn't Black Sabbath, they should have done it all along but they must have been scared of the name loosing sales because of people not knowing it is Black Sabbath minus Ozzy. Long live Tony and Geezer and Ozzy, but without Bill you are NOT Black Sabbath any longer.

Aug 12th can't come fast enough! SABBATH BOSTON

New song.. Sounds SICK.

I miss Bill, but this sounds amazing

Whatever, with they did not happen, all the same, they are the gods of heavy metal, and in this capacity will be forever.

i just love them!

Their last album sounds truly like the very first album, meaning that they're live up to their sucess to that one. Which is cool.

Behold, the gods are back in business!!

Geezer said it! Hard rock!

Well, all is very promising. Can't wait till the 10th of june....

i fucking love Black Sabbath

See you in Vancouver!

2:51 so epic!! The way Ozz crosses his arms is like "There. I just said it. Fuck off."

That was a business/legal decision. "Sharon"

nice video. always dig the sabbath tone.

Hey, hey, Don't dis brad. He's a great drummer, and he has the same style as ward. Ward had to pull out of the reunion due to memory problems, and not being fit enough to tour. Ozzy said that ward had post it notes all over his drums when he practiced, because he said he couldn't remember.

Great sound !

Just saw Sabbath on CSI...every bit as awesome as I thought they'd be. \m/

Waiting october in Colombia!!

You are right , man. Bill was fundamental for the Sabbath sound, he is an old school drummer, too much percussion, etc

Yes... After Ward, Powell, Appice.... you got THAT! Another sab album with him and i will cut my veins....

God Is Dead? gave me those old familiar Black Sabbath chills. they still got it!

Yep....Black Sabbath was originally hard rock and evolved to heavy metal when Dio joined the band.🔥🔥🔥🔥

A BLACK SABBATH movie is a great idea, SABBATH story, heavy metal history!!

Why cut Bill out from all the ´pictures and why not put the name of the new drummer, i'll be whaiting a new album all my life (23) and they are incomplet..¡¡ i'm so mad and really unhappy

Another big problem with Bill (as far as I'm aware) is that he's still upset about being told to kick Ozzy out back in '78. It may have been Tony's decision (or not), but it was Bill who told Ozzy at the end of the day, and that shit can't be easy to live with. Whether or not I've got the full story I don't know, but it has been mentioned before by Bill.

Nice!!!! the early days were the best!!

"At the request of Bill Ward, through his attorney, so as to not give the public the wrong impression about his involvement in the current Black Sabbath lineup, we have temporarily removed Bill Ward's images from the main pages official website. In accordance with Bill Ward's attorney's request, we are doing so for the duration of the forthcoming shows." - Black Sabbath

You needs to know, Tony always like to dropped the pitch of string from standard tune down to 1 and half note. For create the more awesome sound with distortion in some album. Such as Master of reality, Vol.4, Sabbath bloody Sabbath album and more, and in live concert. You've listened and feel it's good. So, because of this, it's a real Sabbath Sound more than play with standard tune. That's an old Sabbath. And those album, it's always the most people's all times favorite.

Thanks man. And 1991HATEFA pretty much sums it up too. hahaha! I should not get my hackles up but I have seen so many comments this last year dissing Sabbath about Bill that it's infuriating. And funny thing is , Bill and Sabbath don't even do that to each other. Bill is one of the greatest rock drummers ever and a big big part of the original Sab sound. But even 15 years ago he was having trouble and Sabs just don't want to say it in public.It's obvious to anyone who has paid attention.

Bought my tickets for August 8th at the Comcast!! :)

Anxious to see them in Brazil \o/

I think everyone should just hush about Bill, he hasn't said anything negative or positive either about his 3 mates and we as fans should respect that and just leave it be.

don't get why never say die has such negative press, love that f'n album

The album is great

Even though Bill Ward isn't on this album it still sounds like the classic Sabbath

I like 13, though I feel it neutral, I miss some energy in it...selling my soul and psycho man had it in 96...
