The bassist Geezer Butler wrote most of the lyrics for Black Sabbath during the Ozzy years, I believe he was battling some depression during this time. And yes, you definitely need to check out "War Pigs" live in Paris.

You can never go wrong with Black Sabbath.

I met Ozzy and his family at a movie theater in Century City, California. Me my family was standing behind him- I didn't realize it was him until I saw the tattoo on his fingers-OZZY. I said to my husband quietly- it's Ozzy Osborn - he turned around and said hello. We talked for a few minutes about the movie we were seeing. He was a cute dad got up and went to the concession stand to get snacks for his kids.

The UNholy trinity was Black Sabbath, Led Zep. and Deep Purple.  I'd love to see you react to Black Sabbath live in Paris 1970 to see them in true form.  War Pigs and Fairies Wear Boots are great. Bill Ward is fantastic live.

Ozzy is 22 in this video. R.I.P. Ozzy!💔

You will KNOW when Ozzy sings. His voice is the reason he cannot be mistaken. Thanks for this 🔥💗🔥💗

The "Unholy" Trinity -
Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, Deep Purple
🤘😎

When Black Sabbath finished recording their album they were just short a minute and a half and needed a filler. So they just started jamming a song they never played before to fill it up. That song was Paranoid.

War Pigs |Live in Paris 1970, greatest drumming display ever.

Imagine someone who lived through the 1960s with all of it's folksy love music, the Beatles, Peter Paul & Mary etc, and then 1970 rolls over and suddenly they've got this song blasting in their faces. It would have blown some people's minds.

First legit metal band off all time!

Ozzy has spoken on the ending lyrics to Paranoid by saying, "for years, I thought Jimi Hendrix in Purple Haze, sang, "EXCUSE ME, WHILE I KISS THIS GUY"."

In 2013, Geezer Butler (the songwriter) told Mojo magazine that the song "Paranoid" was about "depression" "because I didn't really know the difference between depression and paranoia. It's a drug thing; most people become completely paranoid about people when they're using drugs, was my observation, and that ends up in prolonged depression for most people even after withdrawal.
The song was originally only intended as a 3-minute gap filler for the second studio album, to get to the usual length for LPs at the time. During the lunch break on the recording day (most of the first and second albums were recorded live in the studio in two days), Tony Iommi asked his bandmates if the riff could be used for this. Geezer Butler on the further course of events "We basically needed a three-minute filler for the album. Tony came up with the riff. "I quickly wrote the lyrics and Ozzy sang them live into the microphone as he read them during the studio recording."

IMO the best ever Sabbath song is Children of the Grave. Read the Lyrics please. Spoiler alert, Children of the Grave is a song about supporting peace.

"Fun fact" ... Tommi Iommi - the guitarist of BS - lost two fingers ends in a work accident and uses fake finger tips while playing! That's how he "inventend" iconic "powerchords"!

This song is about mental health. Depression mainly.

Ozzy is THE legend!!! So happy ur finally getting to him! He has so many great songs!!

Yep - would indeed like to see you react to War Pigs.

I think he could still sing this perfectly… even if he couldn’t or can’t talk today.  One of the best rock n roll vocalists of all time.  He is classic.

They got the name "Black Sabbath" from a horror movie in the early 60's Black Sabbath. One member said isnt it funny people will go pay money to watch a movie that scares them.Why dont we write that kind of music" All 4 came from the same town with steel factories & crumbled buildings that were bombed in WWII.Ozzy & the guitarist (Tony Iommi) went to school together.They became the Godfathers of Metal
