The 40th Anniversary of Metal

Post by Knucklehead » Thu February 11th, 2010, 9:16 pm

I was over at the Encyclopedia Metallum forum and found a little gem, among all the crap that is posted there.

Black Sabbath's S/T, Black Sabbath, was released on 2/13/70, which was a Friday.

That means that metal turns 40 this coming Saturday.

Fuck yeah to that. I'll be spinning it all day.

If you don't love Black Sabbath. FUCK YOU! The first six albums are the greatest music ever recorded. Nothing has ever or will ever have the magic and sound of those first six albums. Know your metal roots and LISTEN TO BLACK SABBATH!

Remember being very little in my mom's car listening to that. She was a huge fan.

yeah actually i did.

Black Sabbath pioneered every subgenre of metal.

Black Sabbath by Black Sabbath- this song is pure evil, definitely the roots of black metal.

Paranoid by Black Sabbath- first thrash song

Children of the Grave- first death metal song

Electric Funeral- first doom song

probably more I can't think of off the top of my head.

This.


I'm not the biggest KSE fan, but when they played their cover of "Holy Diver" at the show on Thursday night as their encore, that was pretty fucking awesome.

Wow. I came of age during the Dio years and saw him twice (?) live, back in the day. And Heaven and Hell and Mob Rules have some really great songs on them.

But I am firmly in the Ozzy camp. Dio's rendition of those early songs (at least on Live Evil) is just ridiclously melodramatic.

Sabotage is my fave Ozzy-era Sabbath rec. Sounds like they're all insane by then. The early Sabbath is killer and campy all at once. Title track, NIB, The Wizard, yeah... Mob Rules, Heaven & Hell, and Born Again are my fave Sabbath recs.

Ozzy's Blizzard and Diary are masterpieces, though. Great rhythm sec and flawless Heavy Metal guitar playing. Never stop listening to these records.

I am completely over "Crazy Train." That, "Stairway to Heaven," and "Freebird" are all songs that I never need to hear again.
