I...I think I'm officially obsessed with them right now. I don't know if this is a good thing or not.
That is all...

Re: Black Sabbath
Ehn't nothing wrong with early to mid Sabbath. They lose me after a bit though.
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a bowl of soup
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a rolling hoop
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a ton of lead
Wiggle - you can raise the dead
Pex Lives!

I appreciate that they don't sound ridiculously overproduced like most heavy metal bands. They sound more convincing this way.

Look, you have to establish context for these things. And I maintain that unless you appreciate the Fall of Constantinople, the Great Fire of London, and Mickey Mantle's fatalist alcoholism, live Freddy makes no sense. If you want to half-ass it, fine, go call Simon Schama to do the appendix.

Everything up to and including Sabotage is required listening, great stuff.Flex wrote:Ehn't nothing wrong with early to mid Sabbath. They lose me after a bit though.

Re: Black Sabbath
To me, Sabbath are the first true metal band. Other bands had songs here and there that fit the bill, but only Sab completely embodied metalness from the first church bell tolling on their first album. I love everything up to and including Vol. 4. The two following that still had the riffs and whatnot, but they never sounded as molasses heavy and in-the-pocket as they do on the first four records. The first two Dio records are also great, but are basically a different band. As a late entry, Tyr is interesting, being a seminal viking metal album.
Also, watch this show at all cost.
