      Loyal subscriber since 2020. I've posted your UA-cam URL and videos (interviews, mostly) on Hoffman's site, and all the rest. I don't understand why people won't listen to the source (an interview), but rely on 2nd hanf information, or total nonsense like that awful movie, "the doors" while you have Ray and Robbie's interviews, and many others. Great interviews by someone who ... knows the music! Which is so rare these days. I only have 2.5k subscribers, but I'd be happy to advertise your site in any way I can.
      And one of my favorites - Carln! I wonder if you have any interviews with Mort Sahl? I'm going to guess no, but I'll dream. Universal Studios lost millions of archives in recent fires, and there's so many others. I paid for this Pacifica Archive of a Mort Sahl interview, but they had to refund it back, since the reel went bad - lost history forever. They're all rotting in Universities, or being hoarded by guys who sell a 90-minute show for $400. I'm actually waiting for 2 packages today in the mail..

      What a great album! Unfortunately, it’s arguably the most buried album of their Ozzy years, and though I see more talk of Sabotage, if you think that deserves the title, fair enough. I think Technical Ecstasy and Never Say Die! are talked more about due to the dislike of them, but I actually quite liked Never Say Die!, but I think it’s disliked because of how uncharacteristic it is

    • @rubensjunior8586
      @rubensjunior8586 Рік тому +3

      @@Jipwell I do believe Master is criminally underlooked, indeed. But it's mainly because it comes after Paranoid, at least people give credit to Children of the Grave, but the whole thing is genius. Sabotage has great status, and it grew on the pass of the years. The most underestimated of the albums by far is Technical Ecstasy, it is a great album, only different, and a bit "trendy", but it has Sabbath in it. Never Say Die I didn't listen enough to know for sure.

    I was lucky enough to catch Sabbbath twice during the 70’s. First on their “Sabotage” tour in 1975, and then on the “Never Say Die” tour in 1978, with Van Halen as support…both at the Glasgow Apollo in, believe it or not, Glasgow!! I can’t remember much about the first one, as I’d eaten a hash cake that almost made me go blind, but the gig with Van Halen was awesome!
    Even though I was tripping out of my skull, I can vividly recall EVH dressed in a white shirt, throwing his head back, holding a black and white-stripped Strat up in the air and wailing away!
    And Ozzy, wearing a dark shirt with white tassels up and down the sleeves, clapping out at the crowd as he’s wont to do, the tassels became missiles being shot out of his arms into the upper circle where I was! I remember getting the fear for a few seconds, thinking all of the crowd in front of me were gonna be cut down by Ozzy’s arm missiles…until reality kicked in and I realised it was just the acid!!
    Seen some amazing gigs back in the 70’s…Pink Floyd, Frank Zappa, Thin Lizzy, Genesis, Yes, Judas Priest, Hawkwind, Can, The Ramones, The Clash, Uriah Heep, UFO, etc etc etc…but Sabbath were up there with the best!

I love how you go into minute detail, cover the facts and make corrections, even if it was the band at fault. Also, how you break everything down. For instance, you just didn't say Tony played flute and moved on, you actually went into detail of the origin of it, and how he played with Ian Anderson. Love your hard work and research on this.

      Totally agree, I've always loved Solitude. Though I always loved Sabbath's typical sound, songs like Solitude, Changes, and Planet Caravan really made me feel something. Opposed to the heavier songs about War and the afterlife made me think. And due to those experiences it forever changed how I appreciated and approached music. To where I was no longer going to be satisfied with just a catchy beat or chord progression.

      You were one of the lucky kids back then. Most parents were a drag,
      especially fathers who had nothing better to do than to tell their kids
      what they could, or could not listen to. A lot of kids grew up with that
      mental bs in being told every month to get a haircut, even if your hair
      did not need it. The same old bs of not trusting the younger generation.
      The threats that went with it as well. Getting thrown out of the house bs.
      What a f%#king drag some kids had to go through growing up. You didn't
      get a penny for anything. Not an album, not a concert, but only for a
      f#%king haircut. Sorry about the cussing, but it sucked. How many females
      are still pissed that they could not see the Beatles live? That broke a lot of
      hearts out there. Every time I hear the Stones, or Led Zepplin sing
      Heartbreaker, I think of them for a moment.

I was an only son who loved partying and had three straight A cheerleader sisters who could do no wrong. My parents actually sent me away to school in the 8th grade because they thought I was retarded or something. It was great being away from them with kids who dug rock and roll. I rebelled and spent most of my time drunk or high as an escape as I was so unhappy at home. I joined the Army at 18 and never looked back. We all had it tough during the "Devil music" era. I had a friend who's Mom would freak out if her son played "Sweet, Ballroom Blitz". Another friends Dad hit him with a bat when he heard him play Zeppelin. It never stopped any of us from loving what we loved and love to this day. You're not alone my friend.

"Master Of Puppets - Metallica" both Bass players are the reason I am a musician, 50 years of this quintessential masterpiece is still listened to by millions of people. Gezzer Butler and Cliff Burton are where I get my most influences from. Rounding out the bottom end of every band I have played in over the last 42 years I owe my love for music to this album, because without it I would not have been who I am today. Thank you for this video, and thank you Black Sabbath for what you have done to the music landscape over the last 50+ years.

One day, a friend of mine called me up and said you got to come down here and listen to this little did I know the journey that this was going to take me on. I ran home plug the eight track into my player and war pigs came on. From that moment on my life instantly change music was I couldn’t get enough of it and to this day I’m still into metal at 64 years old.

      I wonder if the fact that Tony Iommi had two fingers chopped off had anything to do with " A Bit of Finger".

    Born in '58, Sabbaths first album was on all our record decks - Master of Reality was as well but at a later date - for me & many others, Vol 4 was the record that matched eveything else inc Zeppelin etc etc etc... Great video!

    Holy hell and Elder Gods preserve! This is effing brilliant. I was madly in love with your coverage on sabotage because I love that record so much... but, Master reality is my favorite Sabbath album far away. I would go as far as to say top 10 Desert Island 91 albums in fact. I still discovering new subtle things inside it with each listen, it is a table that has grown with me from my childhood years into adulthood. Good art, good literature, good cinema all sort of scale with the appreciation of The Listener and The Listener or viewers ability to engage with the art. This album personifies that for me. Thank you so much for this man it is really really great. I know it was a metric Aston of editing hours and research.

    Wonderful!!! With quite a bit of info and video footage I've never seen (and I thought I had pretty much known and seen it all about Sabbath) Also, thank you for including Mos Generator in the collage of some of the Heavy Rock / Stoner bands that have been influenced by Black Sabbath. It's an honor to be along side so many great groups. We all owe such a huge debt to Black Sabbath.

    Thank you for such an amazing gift as this documentary! It's reassuring to know that the power of those bands' music still gives chills to people, even if it belongs to a past time, more than forty years ago... so much that it's hard to experience it as a viewer rather than be able to attempt concerts, see them on stage and so on (I mean, of course you can attempt some tours, but this year Saxon looked like old mummies dug up for the occasion and I don't think it could get better). The point is that's really hard to accept that I will never be able to see early Black Sabbath in a pub or be able to tell incredible stories as some old-full original metalhead could. Without looking like an "I wish to be born in the eighties" speech, I'm really nostalgic about a past that I've never experienced but which works still mesmerizing me, able to listen to them, but not able to be really part of it. It's like the metal golden era is ended and the present one looks like a half succeded copy of it. I don't know if this long-ass comment makes any sense, In any case, I would really be happy to see it as a start of a community conversation, cheers!

      Hey I feel ya. I'm 30 years old (born in 1992) and as a musician (mainly a drummer) I love a variety of different music from different eras because what i like is substance... which is why with country or pop for example I tell people I like some classic country songs but all the modern stuff is generic garbage, same with pop, rock has also gotten pretty lame in the last 10 to 15 years and I also find the modern metal double bass drum screem stuff to be pretty generic too and all sounds the same... hell I love hip hop top but over the last 10 years its gone downhill big time as well I guess that's because society as a whole is imploding... anyways my favorite music is late 60s all the way till late 90s hard rock and I have loved sabbath (they're my favorite on most days i used to say zeppelin but zeppelin music gets old quicker than sabbath I mean if when kashmir comes on the radio while I'm driving or anything off LED zeppelin 2 or 4 and I don't even turn it up but iron man comes on though not close to my favorite by sabbath and I've heard it a million times but I still turn that shit up loud as hell and rock out) yes I know I'm rambling whatever as a drummer at age 13 zeppelin and sabbath especially where huge for me bill ward and john Bonham are essential for building a foundation for any drummer that's transitioning from early beginner and into intermediate and helps build chops but yeah I used to like the first 3 sabbath records the best but as I've gotten older my favorite are 4 5 and 6

    Thanks for sharing this experience, great to see this band vindicated after all the cruel press and misunderstandings. I appreciate you diving so deep into their fight against the satanism crap and their attitude towards it.
