Tony Iommi, THE LORD OF THE RIFFS, Geezer Butler, BADASS BASS, Bill Ward, THE MASTER OF DRUMS, Ozzy Osbourne, THE PRINCE OF DARKNESS===== BLACK SABBATH!!!!!!
I played electric bass for about 6 years (lost interest after awhile), but his playing on The Last Supper dvd when that first came out inspired me to pick up the bass to begin with. His technique and tone was utterly awe inspiring...
@@britishnerd3919 So true!! Just like Ozzy couldnt do what James can do with HIS voice! I hate people saying singers are trying to EMANATE other singers!!
I love Metallica. But, there is something about Black Sabbath. I guess its the word SOUL. A mystical spiritual depth. No speed guitarist, no "Best drummer" in the world, can imitate soul. BLACK SABBATH, the spiritual masters of Metal. They are like the YODA of metal, masters with a huge depth that will last for ever.
Hetfield started off as a good singer on those early albums but he has become a lazy parody he knows what ever s;;'t he sings the fans will lap it up. Still one of the best RG's in rock though.
I love Rob, he's an amazing bass player! But compared to Geezer........ Geezer can play in slow motion and still NO ONE can match his speed and precision! Gotta love Geezer, he shares first place with Steve Harris for best bass player EVER!
I’m not a Metallica fan by any means (don’t hate them just prefer other bands) but it seems like they have a lot of genuine respect and admiration for the bands that came before them like Black Sabbath, and I can really respect them for that. Also Geezer is such a legend, one of the best bass players in any band I’ve heard
😂 same here not a Metallica fan either. I seen them when they were nobodies and when they came out it was all speed metal. That’s when I went to the restroom and got me another beer and smoke a joint.😂-I Black Sabbath, the best
Hetfield used to sing this Sabbra Cadabra pretty well, 30+ years of concerts, tours around the world, party's and all kinds of excesses obviously affected his voice, and the fact he is not young anymore
Think of all the great bands that wouldn't have made it without their bass players: The Beatles, Led Zeppelin, The Pink Floyd, The Who, The Sex Pistols, and...most certainly Black Sabbath.
***** that ain't no lie! The fact they made it...and largely because of him is still a mystery! I also defer to mrstut1tub for him mentioning Jack, Geddy, and Steve
ARE you forgetting motorhead! granted he was the vocalist and bassist but imagine motorhead with out that bass (or with a different bass player other than lemmy and that gone)
No I didn't mean to! My first band we covered Motorhead. There are so many instances in that bass players alone shaped their bands and got them signed are too numerous to mention here.
Definitely! Roger wrote most of the lyrics. He left and, to my mind, I don't think they had success with the other bassist. I mean he's good! Roger's bass playing is simple, but check out the way he keeps time. There are many bands that cover Pink Floyd, yet rarely do I hear a song rendered right.
He's possibly the greatest bass player in metal history and gets mentioned alongside other legends like John Paul Jones, Steve Harris, Roger Glover, Geddy Lee, Glenn Hughes, I could go on and on, so underrated is definitely *not* the right word.
James doesn’t know the lyrics. The songs are being played too fast and lose all sense of their doomy nature and you can’t hear Geezer’s bass which is just a shame.
Honestly, people saying "JAMES CAN'T SING IT" have probably never listened to Garage Inc.'s version of "Sabbra Cadabra", (or watched the 1998 live version) and don't understand that people's voices wear down :D
You're giving Ozzy too much credit. The truth is simply that he COULD sing in those days. I think they're playing it in the original key here which is not James' natural key. That will be why he's struggling. I don't even think the Garage inc recording was in the original key.
@Genreguru I guess youve never heard any last Sabbath concert, cuz still Ozzy could sing some lower-voice demanding songs easily. And yea Ozzy in his prime time was beast, not untouchable (Plant
They seem to play a number of tunes on Garage much faster than the originals, but I don't mind it at all. And ya know, I'm so used to hearing Metallica's version of "On the Road Again" that when I hear the original it sounds like it's in slow motion.
Great tribute of METALLICA invite Geezer Butler to perform two of the hardest pieces of the famous album "Sabbath Bloody Sabbath", this album a true classic of Heavy Metal, the first I bought from Sabbath when I was 17 years old, now I am over 60 and I continue to listen to them with great pleasure and pleasure the same as METALLICA. Greetings from Bogotá Colombia
Why don't they ever play the ending part of National Acrobat? You know what im talkin about,where Sabbath really get down on the studio version, which is the best part.
I keep imagining Geezer saying to ozzy : " I don't know what was worse. James sinining Sabra Cadabra/A national Acrobatic or Metallica playing Iron Man/Paranoid "
This isn't doing any justice to Bill Ward. Lars can't drum these songs at all. His beats are so off it's not even funny. Sounds like he didn't bother doing his homework and figuring out his drum parts at all before this performance.
Looks Lars is shit, BUT lets be honest not many drummers, especially in Metal are going to replicate Bill Ward on drums, its just not happening man! Bill Ward was a unique jazzy cat!
Agreed. Lars is garbage. He isn't listening to what's going on around him. He has the temperament of a 12 year old, playing whatever he wants at whatever pace he wants. Gets excited and plays ahead of the beat constantly.
They are Metallica they don't give a fuck nowday's -post black album !!!!!!! Most of their fans were not raised on Sabbath or their influences as long as they get an over load of power chords and Metal dudasim they will go on happy and too drunk to think about it. Really why should the most successful metal band of all time give a fuck!!!!!!! they are not trying to win battle of the bands , pander to a bunch of internet nerds , or impress armchair music professors . Sad but true Metallica have turned out to be the most successful punk band of all time too.!
It's funny for Lars if not for you he still gets to bang the best groupies , play on the best kits and have drum kit companies line up to get his endorsement:}
Man Metallica are so cool to pay tribute and respect to the master Geezer! Screw all the haters.I think they did a awesome job and sound GREAT.People like to criticize when they themselves cant sing or play shit!! Also Metallica are famous.WHO ARE YOU?!!!
Not to mention James forgetting the lyrics. Yikes!! Garage Days and Garage Inc. are two of my favorite albums from Metallica and I sure hope to hear a third!!!
So many negative comments, I'm just glad to see any them with Geezer and paying tribute to Sabbath, the logo on the screen is rather irritating however.
Two of my ALL-TIME favorite Sabbath songs... even with Geezer onboard the great Metallica could not do justice to these 2 masterpieces. But funny to watch the attempt.
They nailed this on the album. Just about my favorite Met cover but obviously they should have rehearsed a bit more before they got on stage with the Man Geezer. Nerves? That would be my guess.
I am not a huge Metallica fan. But I love the fact they turn into little fanboys even after all these years and success and fame and money they have had when a member of Sabbath or Queen gets on stage. They show respect to their childhood heroes (and even former band members like Ron McGovney or Dave Mustaine despite all their earlier feuds). Gotta respect their attitude and appreciating their fans.
Anyone else feel like it took until 2016/17 for James' voice to fully bounce back from the years of alcohol abuse? Anyone who's tried to drink loads and sing on tour will know what I mean. Too much drink kills the vocal chords.
man rob should have sat this one out sure seems disrespectful to geezer to have a second bass player on stage. hes proven his worth he doesnt need to be babysat
nice! but, why the center watermark? Its not pro shot. Its not saleable. Nice getting the board feed to sync it to. I understand you put some work into this. the same thing in the lower right would have been the way to go here. Would accomplish the same thing.

@@danielpaez4210 fuck off.
He's not wrong
@@danielpaez4210 yep
Geezer was wondering if his bass was plugged in!
James M i think this issue is because guitars are not playing in the #C tone.
Ya i cant hear him. I can heat rob though wtf
True
Lars forgot that he wasn't playing with Jason anymore
Lars turn down the bass.. lol
so fucking sick. Look at geezer's right hand. So good. This guy invented Heavy Metal.
+colin poitras......that he did along with three other guys from Birmingham who's names I need not mention.
colin poitras not heavy metal but Metal ozzy doesn't consider Black Sabbath a heavy metal band
colin poitras exactly,i could just watch him play basd for fkn hrs,the guy invented heavy bass.
@@briandavis9002 yup Geezer is just the GOD of bass final!
I played electric bass for about 6 years (lost interest after awhile), but his playing on The Last Supper dvd when that first came out inspired me to pick up the bass to begin with. His technique and tone was utterly awe inspiring...
Its hilarious listening to James trying to hit Ozzy's notes.
Almost as funny as listening to Lars trying to fill Bill Ward's shoes.
@@BloomingdaleTN oof
Makes you realize what a genius Ozzy was.
@@christopheralton-moonn2097 he's just got a different voice.

BLACK SABBATH, the spiritual masters of Metal.
They are like the YODA of metal, masters with a huge depth that will last for ever.
tablatom Lars couldn’t touch Bill Ward’s drumming on the greatest day of his life, not even close
Hetfield’s voice is so off on this
Describing black sabbath as the Yoda of metal is one of the best comparisons ever
Hetfield started off as a good singer on those early albums but he has become a lazy parody he knows what ever s;;'t he sings the fans will lap it up. Still one of the best RG's in rock though.
@monokhem iron man is not the only Sabbath song, you hipernoob.
geezer butler feat. metallica.
if you could keep your EGO in the lower right hand corner on future videos that'd be great.

I was just writing that. True!
@@Gunslingerwashere actually the intro is Sabbath Bloody Sabbath
It's definitely inspired by it
"Cliff Burton's hero," indeed.
Seen the proof of him wearing a Black Sabbath tee, best pic ever
It’s weird for some reason I always forget how big of an influence geezer was on cliff
@@chassy50 And on virtually every bass player in the metal scene
Black Sabbath is the most influential band ever!!
More than Zeppelin, the Who, Metallica. Only the Beatles are more important.
As a lover of the bass, it’s always a pleasure to watch Geezer playing.
I love Rob, he's an amazing bass player!
But compared to Geezer........ Geezer can play in slow motion and still NO ONE can match his speed and precision!
Gotta love Geezer, he shares first place with Steve Harris for best bass player EVER!
No sharing just 1st
Harris couldnt string GZR's Bass. Harris is a good player bit nowhere near the class of GZR
Don't forget what cliff was able to play
no hate on steve but geezer is just on another world
It’s not THAT big a difference. Rob and any bass player at that level can PLAY. No need to diminish one to lift up another.
My two favorite bands.
Wow amazing 😮

It's Geezer fucking Butler on that stage and I still can't hear the bass what the fuck
If it was Lemmy you wouldn't hear the guitar
Maybe you need to listen. I hear his and Rob's
Its the "Jason for all" mix ;-)
...but you are beautiful :-)
Lars never could get that shuffle down
lars could never really get drumming down
daverlb you just won my Internet for today
Yeah but his style is just core Metallica nobody could have done it better .. He's the one who gives that recocnizable metallica beat.
Yeah, amongst other things these characters didn't "get down."
I agree. Bill Ward's THE BEST.
RIP James's Voice.
Hetfield used to sing this Sabbra Cadabra pretty well, 30+ years of concerts, tours around the world, party's and all kinds of excesses obviously affected his voice, and the fact he is not young anymore
Geezer STILL plays like he's in his twenties!!!!!
Geezer Butler...one of our own 🤟
Geezer. A true master.
Now you realize why Black Sabbath is the best band in the land.
🤘
Yes, because it is definitely not Metallica!
Think of all the great bands that wouldn't have made it without their bass players: The Beatles, Led Zeppelin, The Pink Floyd, The Who, The Sex Pistols, and...most certainly Black Sabbath.
***** that ain't no lie! The fact they made it...and largely because of him is still a mystery! I also defer to mrstut1tub for him mentioning Jack, Geddy, and Steve

Happy Birthday Geezer! Thanks for making my life blessed with your music. ♡
god I can FEEL the bass!!! so fucking amazing seeing those two on the same stage! too bad i couldnt witness it live!
Geezer Butler is entering the stage from the right. Camera pans to the left side of the stage. Brillant.
Mr. Butler is the most under rated bass player ever.
Well, i think that you're not right
Geezer Butler "under rated" ? Not in my lifetime and I'm almost 60
How is he underrated, he always gets a mention in the same circles as, Entwhistle, Lee, JPJ, Claypool etc
He's possibly the greatest bass player in metal history and gets mentioned alongside other legends like John Paul Jones, Steve Harris, Roger Glover, Geddy Lee, Glenn Hughes, I could go on and on, so underrated is definitely *not* the right word.
Geezer, John Paul Jones, John Deacon, Jimi Hendrix's bassman, they're all heroes
The singing can never compare to Ozzy Osbourne. He just has a special voice
2 of my favourite sabbath tunes along with Megalomania.
No one can play someone else music and give it a special flavor like metallica!
You do not get more legit than Geezer Butler playing with Metallica.
Correction: Metallica played with Geezer Butler
James doesn’t know the lyrics. The songs are being played too fast and lose all sense of their doomy nature and you can’t hear Geezer’s bass which is just a shame.
You know even ozzy didn't really remember the lyrics
@@gurbindersekhon8240 It might have been because of the copious piles of drugs Ozzy took pretty much daily.
@@danielh7487 no shit sherlock!!
@@danielh7487 no, he could talk clearly, we are all just to sober to understand.

It's not fair when you compare Hetfield to Ozzy in his prime. Of course Hetfield can't sing it. Ozzy was untouchable in those days.

Cmon you’re singing next to THE DUDE at least remember the lyrics man. Very important.
And they're Geezer's lyrics.
When did he forget them, can't seem to catch that moment
Qué buena interpretación!!!!
Me volaron la cabeza!!!!!
Those dual guitars.........awesome!!!! They are completely in sync. Geezer is royalty. Yaaaaaay!
james agudizo un poco para la cancion, epico
Wtf que carajos haces aqui
Same question, que haces aquí dracer xd?
As cool as this cameo is, maybe they should have gotten Bill Ward to do drums... permanently.
yesssssss my two favorite singers of all time!!!!
He's an old man with style. No name fits better than Geezer Butler 😂🤣
Why don't they ever play the ending part of National Acrobat? You know what im talkin about,where Sabbath really get down on the studio version, which is the best part.
marc dewey I personally don't really like the ending, it goes from the greedy couris to a happy little solo, just my opinion
if you listen to the lyrics before that part..it makes sense.
Great Tribute Mettalica playing with Geezer of Black Sabbath , both groups at the top of the tree
Those riffs still blow my mind.
how to ruin an incredible song (a national acrobat).....
ha ha
Metallica is great, but I really appreciate how good Sabbath is when you hear someone else do their songs.
Гизер- монстр металла
I would love to see em covering some sabbath songs with Iommi
What a huge honor to play with this god.
I almost cried when he entered the stage.

Not to mention James forgetting the lyrics. Yikes!! Garage Days and Garage Inc. are two of my favorite albums from Metallica and I sure hope to hear a third!!!
All of Metallica live is played too fast. We can thank Lars for that.
Don't forget about the vocals being butchered
Where is the fuckin' "I lived a thousand times" part ??
What a honor to play with so cool

great sound quality for a bootleg
what were you recording this with ??
Kudo's to the audio engineer; that's not bad sound at all considering I don't see an elaborate set-up of microphones.
Missed the lyrics "I've lived 1000 times, I've finally found what it means to be believed" on A National Acrobat.
Como se llama la tarola o caja de lars alguien sabe esta shida
lefamafa-eh-o-taaaaaaaa YEAH !

Why your watermark is so little? I think I see something on stage behind it!
It's a pity that Metallica sounds like an amateur band playing this.
Put your logo in the bottom corner so it doesn’t distract from the heroes
