Rugeley Villa Posted March 22, 2014 Author Share Posted March 22, 2014 No mate but I've just gave them a quick listen and I like it. Definately very sabbath. I'll listen more later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rjw63 Posted March 22, 2014 Share Posted March 22, 2014 Yeah I've got some stuff by Sleep. Not bad. As for Ozzy, he doesn't like football that much...heard it from an interview with Geezer I think Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dAVe80 Posted March 22, 2014 Share Posted March 22, 2014 Why don't they do a homecoming gig at Villa Park one day? Take That yes but not Sabbath? Would it be too loud for the locals?! I've been saying this for years. It would be amazing. It has to be all of them though. No Bill, no Sabbath for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rugeley Villa Posted March 22, 2014 Author Share Posted March 22, 2014 Bill is a big part of their sound but by all accounts he was very out of shape. Love his style of drumming, he gives sabbath their swing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thetrees Posted March 22, 2014 Share Posted March 22, 2014 Bill is a big part of their sound but by all accounts he was very out of shape. Love his style of drumming, he gives sabbath their swing I was backstage (namedropper!) for their second Heaven and Hell tour at Bingley Hall Stafford, and Bill didn't even come out after the gig. It seems that for him it wasn't Sabbath without Ozzy, and his heart just wasn't in it. I guess that the years of inactivity have seen the ability dwindle.

Rugeley Villa Posted March 22, 2014 Author Share Posted March 22, 2014 Yeah he struggled massively without ozzy. He had a huge drink and drug problem that never really got publicised like your ozzy and keith moons but he was very ill at times and was bed ridden. He's had 2 heart attacks I think and was really out of shape apparantly. I feel sorry for bill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maqroll Posted March 22, 2014 Share Posted March 22, 2014 Always believed that Sabbath were where it all began. The Zep were possibly the biggest thing on the planet, for a long long time, but there was always a strange pretentiousness about them. Maybe its because they're like the 'bad lads on the street corner', but Sabbath always did and will have a better affinity with the metal heads among the masses. For me, Led Zeppelin were kind of on the fringes of Heavy Metal, whereas Sabbath were true Metal pioneers. Early Zeppelin were also shameless thieves, which will always be a mark on their name.

Rugeley Villa Posted March 22, 2014 Author Share Posted March 22, 2014 I agree. Zep stole a lot of music early on. I aint even a big metal fan if I'm honest. I've got this thing about calling sabbath just a metal band. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xann Posted March 22, 2014 Share Posted March 22, 2014 I like 'Lonesome Crow', but that's about it. They were popular though. Here's a few to try... Charlee Flower Travellin Band This isn't strictly metal, but it's Eddie Hazel on guitar - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjmooney Posted March 22, 2014 VT Supporter Share Posted March 22, 2014 (edited) I can't understand anyone could prefer Sabbath to Zeppelin on the basis of LZ having 'stolen' some of their sounds. At least they HAD influences to steal from - a very wide range of them. Blues, folk, soul, reggae, doo-wop, rockabilly, country, etc. as well as all the metal riffery. By comparison Sabbath were extremely one-dimensional. Edited March 22, 2014 by mjmooney Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm assuming you are referring to my post- In fact, I much prefer Zeppelin to Sabbath, always have, even if they did try to take credit for all those early tunes.

dAVe80 Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 I'm possibly the opposite. Give me Sabbath over Led Zep every time, Think Rugeley mentioned it earlier, but Hand of Doom is the song that got me hooked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
