A young Black Sabbath

gball you hit the nail on the head . This song IS SABBATH. Gives me goose bumps. That Demon thing off Sabbath Bloody Sabbath is permently etched into my brain.
 
No joke: I use this song to clear rooms sometimes, along with a few choice others. See, the neighborhood I live in is full of 20-somethings, and really swells with them on the weekends (it's a beach town after all) but I still like to go out to the local pubs and knock back a few. There are plenty of us older locals that don't love when the bars get too full and rowdy and definitely don't prefer their taste in music, so I will sometimes plug the jukebox at my local joints with songs sure to displease the youth, this prime among them. And, since they are an impatient lot, generally, I put on some long-format stuff just for flavor: 2112, Close To The Edge, Achilles Last Stand, etc.


Here is one you may or may not like, yourself gball, BUT i am sure the 20 somethings would probably make like bears and crawl off in a cave somewhere to hibernate if you ever played this one.


Also, Sweetleaf is not really my favorite Sabbath song. I probably have 10 favorites all tied. Top 10 are N.I.B. Iron Man, Sweet Leaf, Hand Of Doom, Supernaut, A National Acrobat, War Pigs, 3 more to be named( Paranoid, Heaven and Hell, and Black Sabbath) plus this song that is arguably unlike any song Sabbath or anyone has ever done. Great Headphones song too.

October 31’st I had passed drivers training and got my license to drive at 16 years old, I bought more 8tracks than albums for the next couple of years, had to have my tunes man.
I was a sabbath hound for ever.
Cheers
Sabotage has such a viscious heavy side but also a lot of good other texture back n forth. I think it is burned into me to have dynamics & not just pummeling all the time

Noticed that first with Planet Caravan, then on Master of Reality, and on through all the other albums, to master and play slow was one attribution , the melodic Melody’s of the other side was the icing on the cake!

1. The Nuge can be pretty polarizing today but he wasn't when we were kids. He just rocked, and had a bunch of killer albums and songs (and he had Derek St. Holmes in his band, who is an unsung hero). I saw him a bunch but one concert sticks out: July of 1980 at the Capital Centre. Why? Def Leppard opened and it was the first time I ever saw them (it was their first ever US tour after all, backing On Through The Night) and they just DESTROYED the place. Next band up? Scorpions, Animal Magnetism tour. "nuff said there friends. Then Ted tood the stage like an hour late and half way through his set the power went out. Rumor was it was because he was pushing so much sound pressure the PA tripped a fuse or something. Took like a half an hour to get things going again, during which he acted like a maniac on the stage doing his Tarzan act even though nobody could hear him. Yeah, Ted was the shizz in the '70's and early '80's.

2. Planet Caravan is simply one of the coolest things ever recorded. They almost caught that vibe with Solitude but Iommi turned Caravan into one of the trippiest, moodiest things I have ever heard to this date. An underrated classic.

The Cap Center had a few Legendary things happen there. That was a cool story.
Mine that I experienced was the Van Halen one when David Lee Roth told his " Grabbed my Richard" story.

No doubt. I was actually at the "Rock And Roll Parking Lot" Judas Priest show, but I didn't get interviewed damnit. I have an awful lot of memories from that place, and also the Baltimore Convention Center and Merriweather Post.
 
New for me!!
That jaw harp is trippy.

I cant decide at this moment if a man with missing fingers tips inspires me or makes me want to burn all my stuff.
Never burn your gear brother, just keep pushing the envelope, time is the factor, and I have not found it yet, but I gotta keep trying. :2Thumbs:
