Old Sabbath
November 15th, 2007In an earlier post I mentioned what I think is common knowledge, Ozzy made his name as the front man for Black Sabbath. Black Sabbath were the first and certainly most famous of the proto-heavy metal bands that hit the scene in the late sixties and early seventies. Although they sound nothing like Led Zeppelin, they are often lumped together and presented as the ying to Zeppelin’s yang. Whether or not this is true I guess is up for debate, personally I couldn’t care less – each band is amazing and I have both their catalogues on vinyl - can anyone beat that?
I found this wild old clip of Paranoid from English TV – the first two minutes have nothing to do with the music, but are pretty funny.
