    Andrew, "Supernaut" was Frank Zappa's "Favorite Song of the Moment" in 1975. The video linked below tells the story. Also, the jazz influence was definitely there--Bill Ward in particular grew up listening to jazz, and it certainly manifested in Sabbath's music. Great reaction as usual!

    • @nodaysback8390
      @nodaysback8390 Рік тому +5

      We had an extremely similar introduction to the heavier side of rock music! I was around 12yo when my friend's older brother was always playing (blasting) pretty much the same bands and records on his stereo every day when I there hangin out with his brother..
      The only difference was he had the first two Sabbath records instead of Vol4 and Blizzard of Ozz had just come out and he was blown away by this "new guy on guitar Randy Rhoads!" I was blown away by all of it and started buying copies of thos records with saved up lunch money. Looking back in hind sight, I was lucky to have a neighbor with good taste in music!

    ”When speaking to Let It Rock magazine in 1975, Zappa gushed about one of the band’s most lauded releases, ‘Supernaut’ from 1972’s Vol. 4. explaining that he felt it marked the dawn of a new style of music, and unsurprisingly, he was right.
    The Mothers of Invention man said: “‘Supernaut’: Black Sabbath. I think it’s from Paranoid. I like it because I think it’s prototypical of a certain musical style. I think it’s well done. Also, I happen to like the guitar lick that’s being played in the background”.

    Well Mr. Rooney, now you have earned the right to Listen to Supernaut!! BTW, as I mentioned in reply to a comment on your Under the Sun listen, John Bonham was a monster fan of this particular song....even jamming on it in a famous 'unreleased' 'Black Zeppelin' impromtu, when the 2 bands were working in the same studios in the early 70's. Such a recording release has gone down in drummer folklore as 'where is it? There must be a copy' I'm not sure the tapes were running, but could swear I was exposed to some of it about 20 years ago!!....I'll share more after you hear the song!! It gives me great joy to see you experiencing these hallowed classics of my fave band of 43 years!! Cheers.

      From what I recall reading from an interview, Iommi said that Bonham used to like to jam with Sabbath whenever he was hanging out with them, which was probably whenever they were in Birmingham, since that was where he and Robert Plant and everyone in sabbath was from.
      Plant and Bonham in particular were very good friends with Sabbath. In fact Bonham was Iommi's best man at his 1st wedding.
      Before Sabbath got was well known, bonham would ask to sit in with them when they were still doing smaller shows. Evidently, Ward used to let him, until he busted up his kit and Ward got pissed off and wouldn't let him do it anymore. Supernaut was his favorite song of theirs and he did stop down to a studio with Plant and JPJ once to jam with them. Tony said there was a tape rolling, but the jam wasn't very good. Ozzy said the same thing. Tony said he's not even sure what ever happened with the tape or where it is today.

      It was 'standard policy' when recording an album on the early 70's for the drummer to be presented with a 'percussion chest' Full of assorted extra percussive instruments, though these at the time did not include steel drums, they often had wood blocks, shakers, cow bells, tambourines, etc. Ward mentions this in interviews about recording Born Again, his last Sabbath opus in 1983, when discussing how he rented an Anvil from a local forge, to place it in a bathtub full of water, submerge it and record the sound when struck by mallet!! These sounds are in some of the songs on Born Again! Of course, this was before user friendly 'samples' at your fingertips!! Love the middle drum break - propulsive, smooth, and lovely texture with the steel drums. I see Bill smiling on a sunny beach every time I here this!!

      @paulotomaz1679 I would imagine it was Bill himself overdubbing. All band members would 'have a go' at different instruments up to this stage. Sabbath Bloody Sabbath, a year later, was the first album they had to get a hand from an outsider! - Rick Wakeman on piano in the song Sabra Cadabra...allegedly, he came in from the pub they were frequenting during recording sessions in Wales or the Monmoth area, and said 'something like this?' and they all said 'that's it!'

    I'm really looking forward to this, which comes up right before I have to leave for work, so it's perfect timing! I've always sort of suspected that the reason Bonham got so much more credit than Ward was that the drums were recorded louder with Zeppelin than with Sabbath. Sometimes in life Occam's Razor applies, and there is a simple stupid reason for some things that seem complex.

    Andy ,there is a song called cornucopia that Bill Wards struggled to get right on the Volume 4. Nice review oSupernaut which was Frank Zappa's second favorite song the first was Iron man . Frank was supposed to join them on stage for Iron man at Madison Square garden but Tony was having issues with his tuning so it did not happen.

    Brilliant, Andrew, thanks! Very entertaining and informative as always! Yes, to answer your question, I think that it's safe to assume that anything having to do with the music and by this time, the production decisions was all Iommi, all day, and the beauty of it was that unlike most others, he NEVER copied anything anyone else was doing. Everyone else has always copied variations on what he did, but I've never heard anything he did that sounded like someone else had done it first.

    I just love this song and whole album. Vol 4 and Sabotage are propably the best era for me. I really enjoy Bills drumming and the songs over all. It´s nice to watch your reactions of the Sabbath songs and reminds me for my teenage ass i was constantly listening Sabbath albums as those released to CD at that time. I also listened lots of AC/DC at the time but different reason. As a guitar player it was fun to play Sabbath and AC/DC riffs and songs. But when i listened Sabbath and Bills drumming i was always dreaming for own drumkit too. Just didn´t had money purchase one.

    Tony Iommi produced the album even though It's credited to Patrick Meehan. It was the first album where they started to experiment a bit.

    I definitely get the Zeppelin vibe from this. Ideas are in the air. Coming from a massive Zeppelin fan of over 50 years. Many years ago my aunt referred to jazz as a cacophony, LOL. Bonham is a god to many, but reality says that there's a lot of great drummers, also not forgetting the Buddy Rich era, and before. Neil Peart is the GOAT for rock as far as I'm concerned. Nobody quite did a solo like he did. And just the lines in the songs were phenomenal.

    Another Bill Ward snippet on John Bonham loving Supernaut
    “Bonham's bass drum work, of course, was incredible," recalled Ward. "I played two bass drums, and they only let him play one in LED ZEPPELIN, so there he was playing two bass drums. 'Supernaut', I tell you, sounded like something from the hardcore bands of today, where they play two bass drums with such incredible speed. And you know, Bonzo was doing that easily. He was having a good time, playing two bass drums, and he was playing all the down beats and some quiet treble with all the high hats. So, he was playing 'Supernaut' with a whole different feel, all the while yelling 'Supernaut!'
