When I was in band, we would be in our practice room just making up stuff. Often times it would be a riff to get they song going and then a song would emerge. We never made it big, but it was one of my favorite experiences.
Great lists guys. This is one I could get lost in all day. Tony was so prolific and just think, he said he has hundreds more yet to be worked into songs. Long live Sabbath 🤘
That heavy riff in Megalomania around the part where Ozzy sings "Well I feel somethings taking me I don't know where, it's like a trip inside a separate mind.." That riff is monstrous. I love Supertzar too. Pretty much all of Sabotage has some of Tony's meanest riffs ever laid to tape. The intro to Under the Sun might be the heaviest thing he's ever done. A National Acrobat/Sabbath Bloody Sabbath/Killing Yourself to Live all have epic moments. Even some songs on Never Say Die are killer. Those heavy riffs at the end of Johnny Blade and Shockwave always stood out to me. You Won't Change Me off Technical Ecstasy is another brilliant one. The first 3 Sabbath albums have so many. I've always loved the intro and the verse riff in Behind the Wall of Sleep. Even though I much prefer 70's Sabbath over the later stuff, Iommi still hammered out greatness in those years. The Sign of the Southern Cross, Zero the Hero, Computer God, and even Psycho Man has crushing parts that's instantly recognizable as Iommi. His solo record also is full of them. There is nobody on the planet better than him and I'll always take a riff master over a fancy soloist any day of the week. I'm surprised how many guitarists get awe struck over soloing when I feel it's nowhere near as important as great riffs and songwriting. I'd take Iommi, Hetfield and Malcolm Young over guys like Yngwie, Vai and Satch without a doubt.
I know you did this a while ago but this, as ever, is a great discussion. Yourselves, Popoff and Pardo are amazing and on a par with each other. My go to metal heads! All 4 of you have different views but always real and convincing borne out of loving this music.
I've also always found the H&H and Headless Cross riffs to be cut from the same cloth. I also find the Snowblind riff to sort of be related to those two as well.
Great 👍 job guys. IOMMI and EVH probably my 2 favs. I’ll give you an “ off the wall” song that I love. The “ combo” of billy IDOL and TONY on his solo album 💿 IOMMI Into THE NIGHT - to me. Is tremendous. But, obviously all your guys selections / tremendous. 👍💯
Hey You Guys! Happy Day! I like this topic. Like you two, I have no order to this list, and it could've been Top 30! Symptom of the Universe Into the Void Black Sabbath Keep it Warm Sabbath Bloody Sabbath After Forever Neon Knights The Writ Supernaut Thrashed Back Street Kids Mob Rules The Wizard Hot Line Wheels of Confusion Dirty Women Shock Wave A National Acrobat Hole in the Sky Killing Yourself to Live Turn Up the Night Love this channel, keep up the good work ☮🤘🤙
Gr8 show guys - cheered me up on a miserable sunday afternoon - gr8 to c loner get a mention - best song on the record - behind the wall of sleep / supernaut / under the sun / juniors eyes those sparse stabbing wah licks are so cool / country girl top 5
Great video. So many great riffs - Hole in the Sky !. Another great Iommi riff, doomy as hell while not strictly Sabbath is 'Follow the Tears' from Heaven and Hell's album.
1. The Bridge from the Writ ( just before the song gets all mellow) 2. The second half of Sabbath Bloody Sabbath 3. Wheels of Confusion 4. Sign of the Southern Cross ( th 8 miles high about to fall section) 5. Disturbing the Priest 6. Killing Yourself to Live 7. National Acrobat 8. Heaven and Hell 9. Backstreet Kids 10. Johnny Blade 11. Shockwave 12 . Hole in the Sky 13. Hard Road 14. Digital Bitch 15. Children of the Sea 16. Falling Off the Edge of the World 17. Juniors Eyes 18. Under the Sun 19. Cornucopia 20. Voodoo The first 3 albums for the most part are just too simple, his riffs became much more intricate, just learn Hand of Doom then learn Spiral Architect and you'll definitely understand the difference in technique. I chose the most creative riffs, that grow on someone, other than Sabbath Bloody Sabbath that is, I chose that because of dynamics, extremely simple but efficient
6:57 one of the best black sabbath moments
love your work guys, loving all eras of sabbath ! keep up the good work
Thanks!!
You Can't Change Me. One of my favourite tracks of all time 😍😎😍👌
