DOOM OR BE DOOMED!! -- OBEY THE RIFF!!

PIC INFO: Spotlight on guitarist/co-founder Tony Iommi of English heavy rock band BLACK SABBATH, performing live at the Gaumont in Southampton, England on June 25, 1980, during the band's "Heaven and Hell" era. 📸: Fin Costello.

"SPIN" MAGAZINE: "So, for "Heaven and Hell," the first SABBATH record for Ronnie in the band… I know Sharon Osbourne introduced you two. Did you already know him from RAINBOW or ELF?"

TONY IOMMI: "I’ve never met him before. I’d obviously heard him with Rainbow. I thought, ‘wow, God, he’s a  great singer.’ Never thought for one minute I’d end up being in a band with him. She introduced me to him at a party. Remember those?"

SPIN: "Ha, barely! Had she introduced you with the intention of you guys playing together?"

TONY: "Well, it was sort of mentioned because it came to a point within Sabbath where it was getting a bit sort of… I just wanted to do something. And we were coming to a bit of a halt at the time because of the situation [Ozzy’s partying]. I did mention the idea of doing something solo, as a different project. Ronnie was interested in that. And then when it came to when Ozzy was no longer with the band, I called Ronnie and said, ‘do you fancy coming over and having a play with us?’ He came over and the idea was just to have a jam, really. We did, and we were all impressed with what he did. And he liked what we did. It sort of went from there, really."

SPIN: "I know you worked at Criteria in Miami, home of the Bee Gees… how did you end up there to record "Heaven and Hell"? And, part two, there’s the story you lit drummer Bill Ward on fire… was it there?"

TONY: "Stop making me laugh! No, it wasn’t, actually, it was in London where I set him on fire. We had recorded at Criteria with Technical Ecstasy [in 1976]. We were in Los Angeles when it all blew up with Ozzy, and Don Arden [Sharon’s father] managed us at the time, and he was very difficult, and we were breaking away from him. So we didn’t want to stay in Los Angeles any longer. The idea was, ‘well, let’s go to Miami,’ so we went and stayed at Barry Gibb’s house. And wrote the album, really."

Great Guitarists 100 - Roger McGuinn, Tony Iommi, David Gilmour, Frank Zappa, Jerry Garcia, and Ron Asheton [CROSSBEAT (November 2009)]

Roger McGuinn The Byrds' rock arrangement of Dylan's "Mr Tambourine Man" became a big hit in 1965, setting off a folk-rock craze. The striking 'jingle jangle' sound of his Rickenbacker electric 12-string guitar became synonymous with folk-rock, and was adopted in the 1980s by Peter Buck of R.E.M. and Johnny Marr of The Smiths, and is still followed to this day. McGuinn, who came from the folk world, picked up the electric 12-string after seeing George Harrison play it in the film "A Hard Day's Night", but his originality lies in the fact that he adopted the fingering of the banjo's fretting technique to create a unique arpeggio technique. He also played solos inspired by Coltrane's modal jazz and Ravi Shankar's sitar technique on hits such as "Eight Miles High" in 1966. -Tadashi Igarashi

Tony Iommi The Rolling Stones' TV special "The Rolling Stones Rock and Roll Circus" (1968) shows a young Iommi as a member of Jethro Tull's band. At this point, he was a mediocre player according to the Blues' standards. However, on Black Sabbath's first album, "Black Sabbath", recorded at the end of 1969, he developed a style of ultra-heavy repetition of single-note phrases. The groundwork for this was probably the technique exhibited by R&B-rooted psychedelic bands such as Iron Butterfly and Vanilla Fudge in their longer songs. The band's thoroughly Satanic band image, which was thoroughly developed by releasing the album on Friday the 13th, had a strong impact on the scene, combined with heavy but ear-catching riffs. The drop tuning introduced later, in which the band dropped three and a half notes from the regular tuning, had a decisive influence on later grunge and doom metal. -Masatoshi Arano

David Gilmour David Gilmour was a member of Pink Floyd, one of the UK's leading progressive bands, from the late 60s to the 70s, when synthesisers and other instruments were not yet as advanced as they are today, and was a renowned guitarist who created a fantastic and majestic sound world with his effective guitar sound. He is not known for his tricky fast playing, but his lyrical, elegant, and melodic melodies are his speciality. His tape echoed the sound of the time, and the spacey sound created by his excellent slide guitar (pedal steel) had a great influence on later psychedelic, space rock and acoustic bands. Although not well known, he is also an outstanding blues guitarist, and can be heard on Paul Rodgers' solo works, and his talent as a composer should also be more highly regarded. -Yoshihiro Hoshina

Frank Zappa Frank Zappa is an amazing man with a diverse background, doing all sorts of things from doo-wop to classical music, but if you want to get a taste of his guitar playing, which is a relentless chain of emotions and sparks, I'd first recommend "Shut Up and Play Guitar!", which shows his guitarist side like a fool. Then there's the delicious "One Size Fits All", where the guitar flutters amidst an exquisite and intoxicating synthesis of sounds, and it's clear that this is a man who thinks about the whole forest with his guitar. His sublime musical philosophy has also influenced many people, including John Frusciante. His large band is known for the many talented people who played in it, and among the guitarists he trained are Lowell George (Little Feat), Steve Vai, his son Dweezil Zappa, Mike Keneally White and many others. -Eisuke Sato

Representative albums "One Size Fits All" (1974, photo), Frank Zappa "Shut Up 'n Play Yer Guitar" (1981)

Jerry Garcia Leader of the original jam band, the Grateful Dead, formed in San Francisco in 1965, the Dead were a psychedelic rock act that specialised in long improvisations that expressed a sense of tripping. Deadheads were intoxicated by Garcia's long solos on songs such as 'Dark Star', in which his sparkling-toned guitar weaves in and out of his signature triplets. A banjo player with a passion for bluegrass and folk music before the Dead formed, Garcia's experience with other stringed instruments - he tried his hand at pedal steel in the early '70s when the Dead became more country-rock oriented - and his love of the instrument, from Chuck Berry to Django Reinhardt (Legend has it that he bought up all the Django records available in San Francisco), and his interest in a wide range of music was concentrated in his guitar playing. He died in 1995 at the age of 53. -Igarashi Tadashi

Ron Asheton Ron Asheton, who played in Iggy Pop's Stooges, is a guitarist who should be recognised for his influence on later generations. From the Sex Pistols and the Damned to Sonic Youth, this is the source of the rock underground. From their formation in 1967 to their break-up in 1974, they left behind only three albums. He turned to bass on their third album, "Raw Power", in 1973, so he only made two albums as a guitarist. However, these two albums are strong. Iggy Pop and the Stooges' debut album, "The Stooges", in 1969, created the prototype for punk guitar, with simple riffs repeated on songs such as "I Wanna Be Your Dog" and "No Fun". The band's second album, Fun House, was released in 1970. The band reunited in 2003, but he died suddenly in January 2009. He did not live long after all. -Hiroshi Hirose

Top 10 guitarists by genre: blues rock In the 1960s, British youth developed blues-based guitar playing as the main expression of rock. Clapton was a prime example of this, but he was also followed by (4/ Peter Green) and (5/ Mick Taylor) in the Bluesbreakers, who went on to work with Fleetwood Mac and the Rolling Stones respectively. The first guitar hero in the USA was (6/ Mike Bloomfield), who was in The Paul Butterfield Blues Band and famously played with Dylan. The 'million-dollar guitarist' who signed a contract with (6/ Mike Bloomfield) for the highest amount of money at the time (1968) was Texas-born (7/ Johnny Winter). (8/ Roy Buchanan), active since the 50s and a master teacher of Robbie Robertson and others, became widely known after a 1971 TV documentary on 'The World's Best Unknown Guitarists'. (9/ Rory Gallagher) was also the first Irish rocker to work internationally. (2/ Duane Allman) of the Allman Brothers Band was a master of the slide guitar and made a major contribution to the band's success and to Clapton's Derek & The Dominos 'Layla'. The young slide guitar prodigy (3/ Derek Trucks) is the mainstay of the current Allmans and the second coming of (2/ Duane Allman), who is also active in his own band. He was the driving force behind the unexpected blues revival of the 80s, when (1/ Stevie Ray Vaughan) appeared on the scene, blowing people's minds with his powerful playing. Most of the guitarists who emerged from the 1990s onwards were influenced by him. The 'Hendrix of Pedal Steel' (10/ Robert Randolph) is one such example. -Tadashi Igarashi

Last weeks poll ended with 16 votes, the winner (it was to be expected) was ZZ Top's 1983 "Eliminator" with 31,3%. It was a struggle for me aswell, but i ended up choosing "Afterburner" because it's the one that i keep going back to. It's must have something to do with that unique 80's sound...

The video for "Paranoid" was filmed in Belgium (1970), it was the first song i ever heard by Ozzy and Black Sabbath... i was hooked instantly! It's still my favorite Sabbath album to date, i mean... how can it not be with classics like "War Pigs", Paranoid", "Planet Caravan", "Iron Man" and "Fairies Wear Boots"?

Considered by many to be the first heavy metal band, Black Sabbath was formed in 1968 by Tony Iommi, Ozzy Osbourne, Geezer Butler and Bill Ward in Birmingham, UK. The band's original name was the Polka Tulk Blues Band (later shortened to Polka Tulk) and later on changed to Earth before becoming Black Sabbath inspired by an Italian horror movie of the same name. The original line-up lasted until 1979, after which Osbourne was fired and replaced by Ronnie James Dio. The line-up changes would continue, with no line-up remaining intact for consecutive studio releases. Throughout the changes, only Tony Iommi and keyboardist Geoff Nicholls, who also joined the band in 1979, would remain with Black Sabbath, although Nicholls would not always be credited as a full member. In 1997, Iommi, Butler, Ward, and Osbourne reunited, touring and releasing a live album in 1998, although a long-rumored studio release did not appear (the group attempted to record a new album in 2001 with producer Rick Rubin but the sessions were scrapped). After that, the group periodically reunited to tour with Ozzy's "Ozzfest" tour. In 2004, longtime keyboardist Geoff Nicholls was replaced by Adam Wakeman for an Ozzfest tour. No reason was given for the replacement. In 2006, the original line-up was inducted into the Rock 'n' Roll Hall Of Fame.

In 2007, Tony Iommi, Geezer Butler, Ronnie James Dio, and drummer Vinny Appice (who were featured on 1981's "Mob Rules" and 1992's "Dehumanizer") announced that they would tour together as Heaven & Hell (with Iommi, who owns the Black Sabbath name, deciding to keep the Black Sabbath name solely for the original line-up in light of their Rock 'n' Roll HOF induction) to support a Dio-era greatest hits release, which also featured 3 new Dio/Iommi compositions. A brand new live album was released under the Heaven & Hell name that same year, followed by a studio album in 2009.

In 2009, Osbourne sued Iommi over control of the Black Sabbath name. The lawsuit was settled the following year. In late 2011, it was announced that the original line-up would be recording and touring. Shortly, afterward, Bill Ward dropped out, stating he had been given a contract that was "unsignable". The three remaining members opted to continue without him. In 2013, the band released "13", their first studio album with Osbourne in 34 years. The band played their final live show in Birmingham, UK, on February 4, 2017. Although the band has announced that full-scale touring is done, Tony Iommi has stated that the door is still open for future music and possible live appearances.

Ps, if you vote please also reblog, the more people will do so the more this post will spread and the better the outcome and results will be. A big "thank you" in advance to anyone who will partake in this! Yours truly: @necro69mancer 🤘🍻

Oh, and also... suggestions for future polls are always welcome! 😎

Sabbath Billy Sabbath: Bill Ward Turns 75

Not quite an iron man, Bill Ward has nevertheless made it to 75.

The co-founding and on-again, off-again and finally off-for-good Black Sabbath drummer was born May 5, 1948.

Though he wasn’t present for Sabbath’s final tour - a blot on the band’s finale - and health and other issues kept him out of the lineup at various times, Ward is the group’s longest-serving sticksman, sticking around from roughly 1968-1980, ’82-’84; 1994-’98; 2006; and 2011-’12.

Black Sabbath has had more members come and go than most bands. But most fans, when they think of Sabbath, think of Tony Iommi, Ozzy Osbourne, Geezer Butler and Bill Ward.

And the drummer realizes the legacy he’s helped create.

“Sabbath have been, and are, my greatest teachers, and I am forever grateful for the musical journey so far,” reads the introduction to his website.

The key words being, so far.

eddie munson and music, a dump of music dates/facts regarding the timeline of the bands from eddie’s patches and pins (aka i wanted to know which patch came first)

band patches: megadeth, motorhead, iron maiden, dio

band pins: accept, judas priest, mercyful fate, w.a.s.p.

iron maiden, formed 1975 but took about 5 years for them to get their act together and release anything, first album being "iron maiden" april 14 1980. eddie would have been 13-14 (assuming 19-20 in 1986)

first single was running free also in 1980

featuring early drama with members before getting solid first members such as

"Iron Maiden recruited yet another guitarist in 1977, Bob Sawyer, who was sacked for embarrassing the band on stage by pretending to play guitar with his teeth."

motorhead was also formed 1975. considered precursor to new wave of british heavy metal which re-energized heavy metal in late 70s early 80s.

lead vocals/bass, lemmy, formed motorhead after being dismissed from hawkmind cause of arrest in canada due to drugs

name was inspired by final song he wrote for hawkmind

they were supporting act to blue oyster cult in 1975

first album, motorhead, 21 August 1977. eddie would have been 10-11 (assuming 19-20 in 1986)

megadeth, formed 1983, first album killing is my business... and business is good in 1985

dio, formed in 1982, by ronnie james dio who left black sabbath with intentions to form band with fellow former black sabbath drummer vinny appice

first album, holy diver may 25 1983. eddie would have been 16-17 and would have just finished junior year

second album, the last in line july 2 1984. this is the patch from back of vest (probably from a tour shirt)

http://www.dio.net/tour/the_last_in_line.html tour dates

On The Last In Line US tour Twisted Sister warmed up at least some shows. Also, some sources claim that Keel would've been warming-up band at some point of the tour, but it hasn't been confirmed yet.

if eddie went to one it is most likely to have been 1984-08-10 at hara arena in dayton ohio opened by twisted sister as it is closest to hawkins

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hara_ArenaHara Arena

Hara Arena was a 5,500-seat multi-purpose arena located in the Trotwood, Ohio suburb of Dayton. The facility began as a ballroom in 1956, added an arena in 1964 and grew to a six-building complex which closed in August 2016.

Black Sabbath, related to dio, formed in 1968  by guitarist Tony Iommi, drummer Bill Ward, bassist Geezer Butler and vocalist Ozzy Osbourne.

Sharon Arden  suggested former Rainbow vocalist Ronnie James Dio to replace Ozzy Osbourne in 1979

Dio's addition to the band marked a change in Black Sabbath's sound. "They were totally different altogether", Iommi explains. "Not only voice-wise, but attitude-wise. Ozzy was a great showman, but when Dio came in, it was a different attitude, a different voice and a different musical approach, as far as vocals. Dio would sing across the riff, whereas Ozzy would follow the riff, like in "Iron Man". Ronnie came in and gave us another angle on writing."

first album, 1970, black sabbath. (eddie would have been 3-4)

Rainbow, also related to Dio, also known as Ritchie Blackmore's Rainbow or Blackmore's Rainbow, formed in 1975.

They were originally established with half of the members of frontman Ronnie James Dio's previous band Elf,

first album, 1975 (eddie would have been 8-9), Ritchie Blackmore's Rainbow

Elf was an American rock band founded in 1967 by singer and bassist Ronnie James Dio.

The band was originally called the Electric Elves, but was shortened to the Elves in 1968 and finally Elf in 1972. Elf disbanded in 1975 after recording three albums and after most of the lineup had been absorbed into the newly formed Ritchie Blackmore's Rainbow.

first album, elf, 1972 (eddie would have been 5-6)

Dio in general

Ronald James Padavona known professionally as Ronnie James Dio

grew up listening to opera, vocally influenced by mario lanza

started off on the trumpet and played in high school band.

(He attributed his singing ability to the use of breathing techniques he learned while playing trumpet)

formed his first rock n roll group in high school, the vegas king (1957)

(changed named to ronnie and the rumblers and then ronnie and the redcaps).

changed to Ronnie Dio and the Prophets in 1960. which transformed into the electric elves in 1967

in 2006, dio joined black sabbath members to tour as heaven & hell. and recorded stuff for black sabbath in 2007 and toured in 2008

Accept, formed in 1976. first album Accept january 16 1979 (eddie would have been 12-13)

Judas Priest, formed in 1969. first album Rocka Rolla september 6 1974 (eddie would have been 7-8)

Mercyful Fate, formed in 1981. first album Melissa october 30 1983 (eddie would have been 16-17)

W.A.S.P., formed in 1982. first album, W.A.S.P. august 17 1984 (eddie would have been 17-18)

(the research conclusion, motorhead patch probably came first followed by iron maiden and then megadeath and finally dio )

Monday, February 20: Quartz, “Fear No Evil”

R.I.P. Geoff Nicholls (1944-2017)

Although the New Wave of British Heavy Metal is still considered an especially magical time in the genre’s history, it was still just a moment in time that only a very small handful of bands were able to successfully move past.  Of course, lingering affection for the era enabled virtually every British heavy rock band that managed a couple singles to reemerge from their day jobs and put out new material that nobody cared about.  And so Quartz recorded Fear No Evil over 30 years after first sinking into obscurity, though in fairness Geoff Nicholls had garnered some notoriety in the intervening years as Tony Iommi’s one consistent sideman while he kept Black Sabbath afloat.  And for what it was worth, the Quartz reunion featured an almost entirely original lineup, with only David Garner singing in place of the recently deceased Mike Taylor.  In any event, the album’s title track was a bit heavier than one might expect for a bunch of grizzled weekend warriors whose most famous member played keyboards: there was some crunch in the guitars and urgency in Garner’s vocals, and some thought was put into the arrangement.  It was pretty enjoyable considering Quartz hadn’t really been on anybody’s mind since Stand Up and Fight in 1980, and worked pretty well for a bunch of old guys getting together on their days off to play some tunes.

Black Sabbath - Paranoid (1970)

Black Sabbath were an English rock band formed in Birmingham in 1968 by guitarist Tony Iommi, drummer Bill Ward, bassist Geezer Butler and vocalist Ozzy Osbourne. They are often cited as pioneers of heavy metal music. The band helped define the genre with releases such as Black Sabbath (1970), Paranoid (1970), and Master of Reality (1971). The band had multiple line-up changes following Osbourne's departure in 1979, with Iommi being the only constant member throughout its history.

After previous iterations of the group called the Polka Tulk Blues Band and Earth, the band settled on the name Black Sabbath in 1969. They distinguished themselves through occult themes with horror-inspired lyrics and tuned-down guitars. Signing to Philips Records in November 1969, they released their first single, "Evil Woman" in January 1970. Their debut album, Black Sabbath, was released the following month. Though it received a negative critical response, the album was a commercial success, leading to a follow-up record, Paranoid, later in 1970. The band's popularity grew, and by 1973's Sabbath Bloody Sabbath, critics were starting to respond favourably. Osbourne's regular use of drugs and alcohol led to his firing in 1979. He was replaced by former Rainbow vocalist Ronnie James Dio. Following two albums with Dio, Black Sabbath endured many personnel changes in the 1980s and 1990s that included vocalists Ian Gillan, Glenn Hughes, Ray Gillen and Tony Martin, as well as several drummers and bassists. In 1991, Iommi and Butler rejoined Dio and drummer Vinny Appice to record Dehumanizer (1992). The original line-up reunited with Osbourne in 1997 and released a live album Reunion. Black Sabbath's final studio album and nineteenth overall, 13 (2013), features all of the original members except Ward. During their farewell tour, the band played their final concert in their home city of Birmingham on 4 February 2017.

Black Sabbath were ranked by MTV as the "Greatest Metal Band" of all time, and placed second in VH1's "100 Greatest Artists of Hard Rock" list. Rolling Stone magazine ranked them number 85 on their "100 Greatest Artists of All Time". They have sold over 70 million records worldwide. Black Sabbath were inducted into the UK Music Hall of Fame in 2005 and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2006. They have also won two Grammy Awards for Best Metal Performance, and in 2019 the band were presented a Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award.

My Black Sabbath collection so far!

1970 issue of Paranoid

1971 issue of Master of Reality

2016 reissue of Vol. 4 (1972)

1973 issue of Sabbath Bloody Sabbath

2021 reissue of Heaven and Hell (1980)

2021 reissue of Mob Rules (1981)

Paranoid is the most well known and popular album with Ozzy, but Sabbath Bloody Sabbath and Master of Reality are my favorites.

Heaven and Hell and Mob Rules are both incredible albums, but Mob Rules is underrated imo. Some stand outs for me are Voodoo, The Sign of the Southern across, Country Girl, and Falling Off the Edge of the World.

Black Sabbath pretty much created heavy metal. The guitarist, Tony Iommi, lost several of his finger tips in a factory accident and a teenager. He thought he’d never play again. He ended up tuning his guitar down so that playing was less painful. The bassist, Geezer Butler, followed suit and that was the beginning of the sound that Sabbath is known for. Ozzy was the vocalist until 1979 when he was fired for a variety of reasons (drug use being one of them), and as a result my boy Ronnie James Dio replaced him. RJD was with Sabbath for two studio albums and one live album before leaving to start Dio. Ozzy ended up returning to Sabbath eventually. In the 2010s RJD and the Mob Rules line up came together and released a new album as Heaven and Hell and went on tour before RJD passed away.

Boa noite. 19 de fevereiro é um dia feliz e triste para a comunidade roqueira. Feliz pois foi neste dia e mês que em 1948 nasceu Tony Iommi, guitarrista, líder e membro fundador da maior banda de heavy metal de todos os tempos, o Black Sabbath. Sem ele nós não estaríamos aqui ou, no mínimo, tudo seria muito diferente. E também é um dia triste pois foi neste dia e mês em 1980 que Bon Scott do AC/DC nos deixou, aos 33 anos de idade. Vamos brindar a ambos, pela obra, pela vida e pela memória. https://www.instagram.com/p/Co4FEGbO-nDl677Ia5bIrdlkn6hUgW_VrqheiE0/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
