      Correction, it was recorded and produced in 1969, but they wanted to release it on Friday the 13th in 1970 for PR reasons. :) A genius move if you ask me, given how foreshadowing and freaky many of these songs on this album is.

    If I remember right, the inspiration for this song was that the bassist and lyricist, Geezer Butler, had an occult book. He went to bed one night, woke up and saw a dark figure sitting at the foot of his bed. Definitely captures the primal fear and dread with the tritone, the perfect way to kick off metal.

I'll bet you could count 2 or 3 other people hitchhiking during that 10 mile ride home. Something cool about back then was..... We could leave the classroom without permission but, only to get a drink or to use the bathroom. We could leave school grounds and go to McDonalds for lunch. I loved listening to RUSH 2112.

It really scared us but man what a sound, what emotion, we loved it, our parents hated it. This album is rated by many as the best ever debut by a band in rock history because they created a whole new genre.

    I was about 10 yrs old when I 1st heard Sabbath was the most amazing music I ever heard. I remember going to Ozzfest, it was the Black Sabbath reunion. It was July, hot as balls all day and this was the last song of the night and when the song started it started to thunder and lightning. When Ozzy sang the first lyric the sky just opened up. It was the most amazing experience. That is one Ozzfest I will never forget.

    Bro back when they used to play this song in the early 70s kids used to fucking scream and run out. But yeah the song is very simple super effective and very evil sounding. The main guitar riff is actually connected to this thing called the tri tone The flat fit and back in the Middle Ages you were not allowed to play that note because they believed it was the Devil’s note. If you played it you were basically calling upon Satan. But yeah when Black Sabbath wrote this song they clearly had no idea what they were doing they had no idea that they were basically giving birth to a new genre of music. They basically wrote the song because they just wanted to scare people they used to rehearse across the street from a movie theater in Birmingham England And Tony Iommi said it’s really weird that people pay money to go to the movie theater to get scared why don’t we write scary music.

There may be something to that note combination, but according to Tony, they pretty much stumbled across it by accident. They all just thought it sounded ominous, and it fit with what they were doing.

      @@josephbarr1659 they would have known about it because it's also the blue note in the blues scale. It's just that you don't generally linger on it, this riff plays the root, the octave of the same note, then goes to the flat fifth and just camps out there, sounding onimous as hell. In blues you hit that note on your way to other notes (a "passing tone"). Geezer was mucking about trying to play "Mars" from War of the Worlds, but was playing it wrong. That's how they came up with the main riff.

  • @calebleland8390
    @calebleland8390 2 роки тому +1

    I know I had heard Black Sabbath, and I was obviously an Ozzy fan, but I remember the first time I heard this song. It was my junior year (1993), prom night. A buddy and I went stag (I had no intention of going but got talked into it) and had a decent time. At after prom, the only prize I won was a gift certificate to a nearby truck stop. A bunch of us went there afterward, and I found We Sold Our Souls For Rock N Roll on cassette. I bought it, and as soon as I got home, stripped down to a pair of shorts, put this in my cassette deck, and hit play. This song was up first, and was one of the most beautiful things I had ever heard. I eventually bought this album, and it's one of the most important metal albums ever.
    Here's some history, because I know you dig that. The bassist, Geezer Butler, was into the occult. He had bought a book on it, and one night after reading it, he fell asleep, only to wake up and see a dark figure standing at the foot of his bed. He and Ozzy used the experience to write this song. The simple three note structure is what is known as the Devil's Chord, because of it's dissonant sound. It was actually banned by the church in the middle ages because it was believed to be evil. And that beautiful, low guitar sound? It was created out of necessity. Tony Iommi was working in a plant that made metal fixtures. He was quitting, and on his last day at work, a machine came down and cut the tips off of two of his fretting fingers. He actually created fake finger tips out of a plastic bottle and covered them with leather so he could still play. But he had to tune is guitar lower so he could still bend the strings. They described their style as dark blues, and on this album you'll hear that blues influence. Enjoy!

    The first time I heard this song was actually in Germany in 1989 from a cassette tape my brother sent me. I immediately said, "Oh! It's Ozzy!". But it was much more than that. Sabbath was like nothing I had ever heard before, but at the same time it was like everything I had heard before. And that's because unbeknownst to me at the time, Sabbath influenced every major heavy metal band that was popular from my generation.

There was a phonograph and somebody put this album on. I heard the rain, the thunder, the church bell, and then that huge crashing scary power chord and I was hooked! It literally changed my life. I bought the album and played along with it until I figured out how to play it. That year at my school's talent show, called The Hootenanny, I and some friends played this song and N.I.B., from the same album. And I continued playing kick-ass hard rock guitar with those guys throughout high school. We played Sabbath, Alice Cooper, Led Zep, Uriah Heep to name a few. Black Sabbath changed rock music forever and influenced countless garage bands and even the likes of Metallica. The 70s ruled! Music was awesome and unique. It is good that you are listening to this now grasshopper. Study it, let it permeate your soul.
