Never enough Sabbath. It's interesting that having discovered Black Sabbath as an early teen in the mid 90s, I didn't have the context to understand how different they were, or how many different influences, styles, and genres they drew from, or even that all the changes within songs wasn't normal. I just knew they were awesome, immediately becoming my favourite band, and as I discovered the musician inside me their song structures and how their music made me feel were just ingrained in me. It's always just been so NORMAL to me. Complex song structures that maybe have a 3 minute bridge with 7 different parts before coming home to the main riff for one last head bang before going home? A pretty acoustic intro that hangs at the end for a moment to build tension for a heavy release? Dropping an entirely different 2 minute pop song in the middle of a jam? Using a riff as the hook that ends a verse, in place of a chorus? And of course, having the guitar, bass, drums, and vocals as equal collaborators in creating dynamics and movement within a song, each having their moments to shine, and always leaving space for the ear to catch what's happening in each part. That's just how music works, right? That's how songs get made, isn't it? All these years later, it still catches me off guard when musicians and music analysts have reactions like yours to Black Sabbath's music, pointing out how out there it all is, switching on a dime and stitching parts that "shouldn't go together" into songs like they're Dr. Frankenstein. In my own musical journey, I've come back to Sabbath many times with new context from what I've learned, opening the door to a whole new appreciation of my favourite band. Now through yourself and other KZfaq musicians, I get to discover even more things about their music that I've always known about but never really THOUGHT about, because I'm so intimately familiar with it. It's like if someone started going into detail on how cool the bow is that I use to tie my shoes. Anyway, thanks for another great Black Sabbath reaction. Cheers!

Notice how often people will say of a Sabbath song that it reminds them of another band that came years later than the Sabbath song. No coincidence.
@GregMcNeish Жыл бұрын
@@mikeg.4211 Absolutely! I think what further cemented it in me as "normal" was that the contemporary music I was listening to was Metallica and the big Seattle bands, who wore their Sabbath influences on their sleeves. Something I find funny these days is when I listen to jazz or blues and I'm able to pick up on certain nuances specifically because I recognize "a Sabbath move". Jazz & blues influenced them to create metal, and their metal introduced me to jazz & blues, in ways I'm only now realizing decades later.

@@billygugen8104 , I found the article. It was Allen Jones from Melody Maker, a British music magazine similar to Rolling Stone, I think. This is from the article: “I came back and wrote this up exactly as it was,” Jones noted. “I later got a message from Tony Iommi saying if he saw me again he’d cut my head off and feed it to his dog.” “One day, while I was checking into a hotel in Glasgow, I felt this vice-like grip on my bicep that nearly broke my arm and I turned and there was Tony Iommi. He said: ‘You’re Allan Jones, intcha? I’ve got a bone to pick with you.'” “He dragged me across the floor of the hotel and out into the car park and said: ‘Right, put ’em up’,” Jones explained. “I tried very hard to say it was all water under the bridge but he wasn’t persuaded. He was taking off his Rolex and wrapping it around his knuckles and I thought: ‘Aw no’, and he just split my lip. I must’ve lost about three gallons of blood. Fortunately two of his roadies dragged him off.”

And here we have it, my favorite Black Sabbath song of all time. The song that made me buy a Gibson SG with cross fingerboard inlays. When there is no song in my head, when I'm doing something busy with my hands and my mind is empty, this is the song that shows itself. I've never heard anyone else bring it up, but the tone of the vocals, the offset panning, the slightly dissonant harmony between the double tracks, and the upward intonation at the end of several phrases ("I want you to li-STEN!") put me in mind of a desperate cry. Almost like you could imagine the tears running down Ozzy's face as he shouts the song into the microphone. Absolute 15 out of 10 song, breaks the ratings scale.

Think Steve Harris started Fkedgling versions of Maiden in 1975. He was heavily influenced also by Burke Shelley, the bass player in Budgie, a great underling Welsh Heavy trio, I think produced by Roger Glover in 1971. See the song Napoleon Bonapart 2, 1975. There are also many other Budgie tracks that you can here Steve drew inspiration from.

God, I love that song. So, this album was 1973. Five albums in three years. Black Sabbath: February 1970 Paranoid: September 1970 Master of Reality: July 1971 Vol. 4: September 1972 Sabbath Bloody Sabbath: November 1973 So, in the short span of under 4 years, they released a plethora of ground-breaking music that changed the landscape forever. As you've been so eloquently putting it on your channel, their ability to just play, and their inventiveness to tempo shift and play around in the groove is what caught my attention as a child growing up in the early 90's. My old man had these albums coming out when he was in his 20's. He was already a fan of the band that debuted shortly before Sabbath, Led Zeppelin, so jumping on to what these guys were doing was a no-brainer. Every day, I am so grateful that he decided to play the full album this song is from, when I was around nine years old. He just sat me down one night, put his vinyl pressing he got in Germany on his turbtable, gave me his cans, and told me to sit back and enjoy. What an experience. And you!

Your videos are outstanding! Love hearing you go through Sabbath's classic albums from 1970-1978! This song is not about reincarnation, but the key to resurrection, as told by the personification of the spirit.
@AndyWrasman Жыл бұрын
Hey Joe! I immediately left the comment that it's not about reincarnation. Then scrolling I saw you had already commented that. I'll read into it what you said it's about. I was under the impression that it was about semen from masturbation. I thought I read an article that indicated Geezer saying as much, but I'm going to trust you on this one.

@@AndyWrasman Good to see you, brother! Yeah, Geezer has a very dry, self-deprecating sense of humor; it's a British thing. :) But the lyric has tremendous depth, not only in mourning the life that-never-was, but in pointing out the spiritual key to everlasting life (which "Symptom of the Universe" also does from a different angle). In 2008, he was a bit more serious when talking about his lyrics being pro-life, which he clarifies: "I am pro all life, not just unborn fetuses. I don't understand people who say they are pro-life, but then support unnecessary wars and the disgusting slaughter of animals for sport." I think it's really only coming to the fore these days just what a unique and special musical and lyrical voice Black Sabbath was.

@@thesithempire1348 Powerhouse in both music and lyrics. Truly one of a kind band. I haven't even taken the proper time to digest the lyrics. The best I've done is seriously contemplate the first two albums' lyrics thanks to you. I have thought deeply on Masters of Reality, but honestly not the others as I should.

It was so exciting for me to watch u discover Bill Ward and Sabbath for the first time. But now as a guy whos heard all the greatest songs thanks to all your amazing followers id like to see your reactions to Bill Wards solo albums which were all monstrous and awesome from first song to last. Theres Bill Ward along the way from 1990 featuring 2 rare songs sung by Ozzy, then theres when the bough breaks which is just as awesome and accountable beasts which again is great. Its like a mixture of Sabbath and pink floyd. Great self healing songs full of light and dark with awesome lyrics. Cant wait to hear your reactions.❤

It's interesting how the main riff is in a minor key but Ozzy throws out the rulebook and sings the end of the verse lines in major.

That’s actually the lamest part of the song in my opinion. Kind of takes you out of the soulful funky groove vibe of the rest of the track. I wish they would have cut that 30 seconds or so, and just gone straight to the epic breakdown at the end.

The song itself reminds me how Sabbath will dabble with religion to create amazing narratives the listener can take a journey with. In this case 'Reincarnation' seems to be the main theme soaked in unique melodic phrasing and driven towards an inevitable truth.

Great song from a great album. I requested this some time ago. There is a drum part after the lyric, " the name that scorns the face" that ward does only once in the song that I can tell anyway. A different pattern different tone. ( sorry not a musician by any means) that I was hoping to get a reaction and comment from you. I know you can't pause too many times. Thank you to the fellow who donated for Black Sabbath. Thank you Andy.

What a great song! I was first made aware of this song through Metallica’s excellent cover on Garage Inc. It was combined with another track off of Sabbath Bloody Sabbath, Sabbra Cadabra, so it’s only a partial cover. When I finally heard the Sabbath original, it instantly became one of my favorite songs by them…it definitely makes my Top 10 of the Ozzy era.

They were good friends too - Bill mentioned that he always had respect for Bonzo and even though he admitted, when they were drunk, both were toxic people - he would always speak highly of him for the rest of his life. John Bonham was also the best man for Tony Iommi, at his first wedding.

Geezer reminds me of John Paul Jones, just in terms of the level of contribution being almost inversely proportional to their level of fame. Plant, Page and Bonham are all household names, but JPJ played bass, piano, organ, mandolin, guitar, synth and was at least partially and in some cases totally responsible for arrangements of just about every song in their catalog. In Sabbath Geezer wasn’t the multi-instrumentalist that Jones was, but he wrote amazing lyrics, he invented that rhythm bass sound with the gallop that Steve Harris mastered, wah bass, drop tuning, etc. Truly an artist.
