One of my favorite bands ever is Black Sabbath.The song I like best is: WAR PIGSThis song has been covered so many times...!!!! First I want to show you a live version of it recorded in Paris back in 1970. I have this on VHS videotape for 20 years already.. but found it on youtube...Of course Ozzy Osbourne looks and acts cooler than he does right now... Think the chap used to much of everything, which didn't make him look smarter nowadays.Anyway, much respect for Ozzy in these days and watch the drummer: Bill Ward. It's amazing how this boy drummed back in those days!!!...

now take a look at the covers if you like:

, Gov't Mule, Mystic Pop, Tesla.....I reckon there is no band that even comes close to the original! Two funny videos though:

the version of War Pigs by the band Cake:

 

and the version of Hayseed Dixie!

and of course : Iron man!

Howdee,

yep. great band. although being in the shadow of Purple and their great band members, like Blackmore, Gillan or Lord. Sabbath in the early 70s had been thee band for those ultra hard rockers Purple had always been way too soft.

Btw - Jimi Hendrix would have celebrated his 65th birthday today..

Cheers

yea,they was great

Lol,the 70s was better

Damnam1... my name IS J.Hendrix

Guttes2... some music for sure!

damnam -1- , guttes -2- , so.... who's gonna be number -3- ? lol

Black Sabbath is my favorite band. Every month I listen Paranoid, and Heaven and Hell. Into the new trailer of last Marvel's Hero, Iron Man, I can listen some notes of the same song, Iron Man...and in School of Rock...if you wish to learn playing the guitar, It´s the second riff you can play (everyone know the first song????) and...Tommy Iommi...He created the riff's guitar....Black Sabbath...with Ozzy Osbourne..or with Ronnie James Dio...It's the music of my life; sometimes sad, sometimes dark, sometimes real...but always is feeling....

Can you remember Paranoid????

If in your city there is a concert of Heaven and Hell (Tommy Iommi, Geezer Butler, Ronnie James Dio and Vinnie Appice) RUNS!!!!!!!!

Ricsenro and magiclife... I expected 3Angels and 4uandme, but thanks for the comments!

can't wait for ozzy's tour when it comes here in january

Great song and great group!!! amazing that Tony Iommi was still able to play guitar with the missing finger tips. Ozzy has been very fortunate to have performed with some really great musicians ( especially liked the guitarist Randy Rhodes and Zak Wylde).

It's amazing to me how good all the bands were back then . . . what the hell happened??

love sabbath- being a fan of blackmore's rainbow i was also a fan when ronnie james dio took over- a completely different sounding sabbath but excellent nevertheless!! paranoid seems to be the tune which dominates my formative teen years though never really suffered myself!!

sabbath currently being used for the iron man movie trailer too!!

music with soul....hard to find nowedays

youtube shows in Thailand now?

paranoid was the first Black Sabbath song i ever heard. My cousin introduced me to it and it was really one of the turning points in my life. i went from being a geek to......well maybe a little less of a geek. ossie osbourne became one of my heros that day

And u had still Uriah Heep in the same category as Deep Purple and Black Sabbath. But I've never been a great fan of Hard Rock.

I once had the original double LP 'Deep Purple in rock' (on vinyl).

My friends sister once had a bf who nwas a rodey for Deep Purple so I got VIP cards & tried to let in sign by Ian Gillan, but a bodygard refused to let him sign.. This sisters bf said he would arrange it later.

Bf broke up with my friend's sister. Never saw the record again..

boohoo

And I like the record 'Look at yourself' of Uriah Heep
