Heavy! "N.I.B." still drops one of my favorite all time riffs. The whole band is on fire on this one. Classic! Yes, the lyrics are sneaky too, just like the devil, eh? Think of them as lines from a supernatural horror movie. "N.I.B." was early on mistaken as an acronym for "Nativity in Black" and that title was used in the nineties for a couple of Black Sabbath tribute albums featuring Megadeth, Ministry, White Zombie, Sepultura, Faith No More, System of a Down, Pantera, and Slayer. Ozzy, Geezer Butler, and Rob Halford also participated. Ugly Kid Joe covers "N.I.B." on the first album, Ozzy teams up with Primus for "N.I.B." on the second album.
"NIB" is a reference to the drummer's beard which they thought looked like a pen nib. As the lyrics writer, bassist Geezer Butler explained, that It actually is a love song. In this song, the devil falls in love with a human woman. Great job!
This album is really cool and funny story. Have you ever listened to the title track? Funny thing, when I was a lot younger and got this album I smoked a little something something, if you get my drift. Anyway I put out the lights and put on the headphones and that song scared the shit out of me. The lyrics are creepy as hell.
Such a good song by Black Sabbath 👌
It is a dark love song
Nativity In Black. One of the best debut albums ever. Love the reaction.
Nativity ' in Black.' Sabb was about the opposite of what many were about. Loved em since '79; saw em in 80 with Dio. Ozzy with Randy in 81.
OH YEAH
Love Geezer's Bass solo intro. It brings you to a good place.
The look when she finds out whos telling the storyt then rifht back to not carring cause its so awesome yes lucifier would want it that way
LoL! I was just waiting for your reaction when the "hidden name" would come out...there was a slight loss of energy😊
Respect your comantary..very insightful..you feel what you hear..a rare gift.
took the lead in heavy metal and influenced the genre for generations and counting.
N.I.B. is a reference to the drummer Bill Ward's goatee....

Black Sabbath takes their name from a horror movie starring Boris Karloff of the same name.

One of the best modern rock songs. Try reacting to these guys.
Same album try out the Wizard.
It's supposed to be what if Lucifer fell in love with a woman.
The concept of the song is that it's a scenario of lucifer fallin in love with a woman on earth. And truly experiance love,
Big thumbs up for you miss. Lucifer has no power over you. thankyou.
