![]() ![]() (For those of you who don’t play guitar, I should probably elaborate a little bit. That horrible accident changed the sound of Iommi’s guitar, making it deeper, darker, and kind of menacing. Sabbath guitar player Tony Iommi almost single handedly created the genre when he was forced to start “down-tuning” his guitar after an industrial accident chopped off the tips of the fingers on his left hand. The Sabs were the first ever heavy metal band, and there’s very little debate about it. The biggest difference between Black Sabbath and those bands is that Sabbath invented a sub-genre of music almost entirely on their own: Heavy Metal. They sit on the classic rock Rushmore, alongside bands like Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, and The Who. EDIT: Instead of downvoting my comment, how bout responding with actual rebuttal.if you're capable of doing so.Without question, Black Sabbath is one of the all-time great rock bands. To see a band that always preached individuality and thinking for yourself be taken in by this political shit show was really disappointing to me. Hell, the black lives matter organization even said as much on their website that their goal was to get trump out of office. The whole thing was a con job to cause racial divide that could be blamed on Donald Trump. When the media, celebrities and politicians talk about police killings only when its a black person killed, you get the impression that ONLY black people are killed by police. More white people are killed by the police every singe year in the U.S, so why has it been made into a race issue in favor of black folks? That in and of itself proves there was a completely different agenda at play. Well, i personally "lost my shit" about that ridiculous black lives matter shirt because i didn't want my favorite band ever to be aligned with such an obvious sham of a political party disguising itself as an anti police brutality movement. ![]() There used to be a concert tee that said "Black Sabbath ruined my life", and I really regret not getting it.Īnyway, that's how sabbath nearly sent me to the asylum. Kinda wished they hadn't sometimes I ventured toward opiate addiction within a few years - I might could have used a little knocking off course. ![]() I lied through my teeth - "Me and my friends smoked pot once but we got scared and decided we didn't really like it" - and they deemed me "normal teenager" to my mother. They came to my mom's house and set with me, asking trick questions that were painfully obvious. They contacted a mental hospital for teenagers, then called my mother and informed her I could not return to school until I had been evaluated. This was only about a week after Columbine, and kids like me had a target on our backs. It would seem that my metal shop teacher was quite unfamiliar with these lyrics - he handed it to the principal and referred to it as "a manifesto". He told me to write a summary of chapters 1 and 2.īeing who and what I was at that age, I had absolutely no intention of doing that boring shit so instead I turned in the lyrics to war pigs scribbled down on notebook paper. One day, because I was in ISS, the metal shop teacher came and dropped some busy work I was supposed to suffer through - an insanely tedious book titled "The History of Arc Welding". I would routinely skip school to smoke pot and play them.īecause I skipped so often, I spent a lot of time in "in school suspension", locked in a back room setting in a cubicle. ![]() I was a loser lonely acid head kid (my first real drug experience was at the reunion show in dallas, 1/26/99 - second row I wasted no time getting down to business from there on) and those albums were an obsession. When I was 14 in 98/99, during the reunion, black sabbath was my universe. ![]()
