I love this tune.

From the first time I heard this on a used 'boombox' that I had bought

I was hooked

Coming from a Christian Jr High - I knew which path to take...

:evilgrin:

1. Timeless...

That was actually the first album I ever bought myself back when I was 12..

2. Thanks. Played it twice. Thrice now. 4th. 5, 6th

I was never 'sposed to Sabbath in my yoof, but this fits perfectly with my collection of MC5, Stooges, Bowie/Ronson, Queen... also some Joy Division in this?

Off to explore early Sabbath tonight, stupid neighbors be damned... Thanks for this.

5. One of the best.

Kind of awesome trivia fact: that doomy guitar sound started because Tony Iommi lost the tips of some of his fingers in a factory accident when he was 17. He made himself prosthetic tips and tuned the strings down to make it easier to play with them on.

Where would metal be without that?

[Taverner]

7. Yup - and as a result everyone down-tuned their insturments

Hence, Geezer's super bassy bass sound, and how Tony's chords sound like he's playing a bass

Inspired a million bands by doing that, and ironic too, since it was the result of Tony's misfortune

6. Sabbath is my favorite band.

Loved them since the first time i heard them. Great tune.

[Hayabusa]

8. Like it, but...

the Ozzy and Primus version is much better in my opinion.

[Taverner]

10. Hmmm gotta check that one out

I can imagine Les Claypool could out Geezer Geezer himself!

9. Ozzie is awesome! My old man hooked me on Black Sabbath.
