I’m sure you guys already know but there’s a difference between Gargoyles and Grotesque’s “The difference between a gargoyle and a grotesque is easy to remember. A gargoyle is a decorated waterspout that projects from a roof and carries rainwater away from the walls of a building, protecting it from damage, whilst a grotesque is a decorative carving that has no functional architectural purpose”. I find them fascinating whatever their purpose.

Ozzy, Bill, Geezer and Tony are the Godfathers of Heavy Metal, and because of those 4, We have Heavy and every other kind of Metal, And so many great bands that were inspired by Black Sabbath 🙌🏻💜.

@Black1968Sabbath Sorry mate, I must disagree slightly... Deep Purple and Zep were around 1 year before Sabbath hit, here on Northern California College Radio anyways.. While Deep Purple and Zep were known for their thunderous volume, speed, and influences, Sabbath is known for actually playing the once forbidden "Devil's Interval" tri-tone".. so they deserve credit for that!! Either way, all 3 are regarded as the gods of heavy metal music (before the term: heavy metal" was defined, my friends and I would call it high speed chainsaw on metal rock). Going to their first concerts in SF and Oakland changed my world!! Not to split hairs or anything, but Steppenwolf first used the term "Heavy Metal" in "Born to be Wild" in 1968, even though they were regarded as a Psychedelic Rock band... we could debate further with Hendrix, Cream, the Yardbirds and Alice Cooper, but then the lines of definition get all blurred up. Happy Halloween! 🎃

That's so cool you came to Brum! One thing we are rubbish at here is paying homage to great things our city is famous for...Black Sabbath, UB40, Tolkien, Cluedo, there's so much and it just gets ignored and the heritage crumbles. We could make so much of it. If you are able to visit to Birmingham again you should visit Warstone Lane Cemetery and Key Hill cemetery in the jewellery quarter they're amazing as well as the Coffin Works and Back to Backs. Plus the Tolkien trail. Lots of dark and interesting things to explore. I love seeing it through someone else's eyes as I think we can become blind to our surroundings. (I was also in the Crown just before it closed and it was a total sh*t hole sadly). This video has given me some knew found appreciation for my home. Thank you, I love your channel :)

AMAZING ! WELL DONE ! Back in 1980 I met OZZY by chance... I was the Assistant Manager of a Radio Shack store in Providence, R.I. Next door was a Strawberries Record Shop, local chain back then. OZZY had an Album signing there. Closing time was coming, I am shutting things down, heading to lock the door. The Police had finally moved the Crowd away. The Road was quiet. As I pull the door shut and lock them. I hear this familar British accent, " Hey, how ya doing ? " I turned, it was Ozzy and one of the Officers escorting him. That was EPIC ! I did not expect to see him. Earlier that day the area was Packed with Kids... 😊 It was REAL Cool getting to see OZZY's Stomping Grounds, Thank You !!

Birmingham is where I grew up. There's also a tram in the city center named after ozzy but it goes all the way out to Wolverhampton, so you may not get to see it unless you wait around for a while. Not far from the bench there's the walk of stars, just like the Hollywood one, with about 30 stars including ones for ozzy and Tony. UB40 are popular there because they are also from Birmingham and, yes, I did go in the crown a few times but bands had stopped playing there by then. Enjoyed watching this, I moved away about 8 years ago and have only been back there a couple of times.

@Josiris218 Whoa man, I don't think so!! Duran Duran is nowhere near the heavy metal genre. They didn't even show up on US radio until 1981-82. Nice try anyways! Spooky Spooky 'Bubblegum Pop'!! (No offense, but I'm totally creeped out by that association). Maybe in the next life l!! Cheers! ⚰️🦇⚡️🎸🤘

@@RiverRat_1977 lmao you missed the boat brother. Others were referencing Bands/Groups from Birmingham; so it wasn’t metal specific. But no worries, Lemmy is my God, Ozzy is the Prince, and Zeppelin gave us a Stairway to get there. Metal & Rock above all else.

Excellent video thank you…Birmingham is my home town and I was brought up near Witton Cemetery, where my Mom, Nan and me would go for picnics ❤

I love how you go around and show us everything that you've researched. For people who can't get to those places it's a good way for us to see them. Thank you so much for doing these videos
