A casual glance at the record makes Black Sab- bath look like an extraordinarily well functioning machine; six Warner Bros. albums are certified Gold (three of those Platinum) and the band has sold over six million records. Things have appar- ently been running so well for Black Sabbath for so long, that very little consideration has been given to the four musicians, the actual music they create or their attitudes about what they do. To the contrary, drummer Bill Ward, singer Ozzy Os boume, guitarist Tony Iommi and bassist Geezer Butler have very definite ideas about their craft.

One thing Bill Ward likes to make clear is that Black Sabbath have matured considerably since the days when "Iron Man" and "War Pigs" first supershocked a comparatively laid-back music scene in 1971.

"We've leamed an awful lot about making records, about getting them to sound the way we want them to sound, in the last couple of years," he says. 1974's Sabbath, Bloody Sabbath was the first Sabbath album to be entirely self- produced. "It took us about four months to do, and we did it the way we wanted to. We worked on Sabotage for about eight months."

Tony Iommi smiles when he recalls the record- Ing of the group's first album, Black Sabbath. "We did that one in twelve hours, because we were under all the pressure a young band works with: we had to get the recording done and get back out on the road again. We've come a long way since then."

Black Sabbath was released in the states in June of 1970 and while it wasn't that long ago, it's long enough to keep Black Sabbath out of the ranks of johnny-come-lately British bands.

"We came up the 'old way," Bill Ward claims. "We had been together over a year when we recorded the first album, two years by the time we first came to America. It wasn't like we just suddenly appeared on the scene overnight. We did our share of working six nights a week, three sets a night, all over England and Europe."

By the time Black Sabbath first landed on American soil, fans of loud rock & roll were more than prepared: Black Sabbath and Paranoid were immediate best-sellers and both "Paranoid" and "Iron Man" received consider- able radio play. The band's audience grew quickly and continues to be fiercely loyal. By the time the band arrived in the states for their 1975 tour-opening dates in Toledo and Chicago, they were greeted with advance sell-outs and faced the prospect of arranging additional dates. It was a gratifying situation to the band, who, with the exception of their 1974 Califomia Jam ap- pearance, hadn't seen their American following since 1972.

"I'd say our audiences have matured some- what too, Ward explains. "When we started, I think we appealed to a younger group. People associated us with the 14 to 17 year old crowd, but now I like to think it's maybe 14 to 30. They've grown up with us. We've sort of gained some new territory in the audience area.

And we still managed to give them what they want to hear when they come to our live shows," Ward claims, affirming the close relation- ship the band has always had with its fans. As Ozzy will gladly tell anyone who needs to be

Like Sabbath, Bloody Sabbath, Sabotage was self-produced, self-written and performed. The band's thoughts about the album pretty well define the present status and future ambitions of Black Sabbath. "Now that we're producing our- selves," Tony Iommi explains, "We've got this freedom thing. We can be on both sides of the mixing board-out in front of it and sitting behind It-at once."

What makes Black Sabbath so powerful is their proven ability to perform clean loud rock & roll, and Geezer Butler and Ozzy Osboume's flair forwriting highly distinctive lyrics. "I suppose I get pissed off with the world so I write a lot of it in our lyrics," Ozzy explained to one magazine inter- viewer. "I always think about the downer side before I think about the up. I always want to make people happy. Even if it's bringing out their downer, it still gets them off and I love it."

Released early in 1976, the two-record set We Sold Our Soul For Rock 'N' Roll is about as good a chronicle of Black Sabbath music as one could ask for. The definitive greatest hits collection, We Sold included "Paranoid," "Iron Man," "Black Sabbath," "Sabbath, Bloody Sabbath," "Children of the Grave" and eleven other metal master- pieces.

Discography: Black Sabbath (June 1970) Paranoid (Jan. 1971) Master of Reality (Aug. 1971) Volume 4 (Sept. 1972) Sabbath, Bloody Sabbath (Dec. 1973) Sabotage (July 1975) We Sold Our Soul For Rock 'N' Roll (Feb. 1976)

ill spare u the paragraph this time BUT GOSHHHH this ate. lee jamil i nom nom eagerly and AZUJAMI FAV SHIPPP EVERRR I LOVE THIS SO MUCH KAZ THANK U FORWRITING THISSS 🫶🫶🫶

also azul being scared to ride the magic carpet is so real pf him

u said i could so im ALSO going to ask for azujami. ur writing eats so hard im gonna eat u. thanks pookie stay … sometbjng i cant thjnk rn STAY COOL😁

azul is trembling.

"i'm not getting on that," he deadpans. with anyone else, this would leave zero room for argument. azul ashengrotto is not a man to be defied.

but jamil is not anyone else, and so he rolls his eyes. "stop being a baby. get on."

kalim's magic carpet sits beside them, waiting patiently for its passengers. it tilts a little to the side, as though asking what's taking so long.

azul adamantly refuses. "i would rather use a broom. i'm leaving."

jamil grumbles. he is sick and tired of him. he grabs azul's arm, a bit firmer than necessary, and shoves him onto the carpet. azul yelps, wobbling and gripping at the edges of the carpet, eyes wide. he peers over the side as jamil sits in front of him, then winces and shrinks in on himself. "you're flying one way or another," jamil hisses. "i'm tired of teaching you." azul seems too frozen to say anything.

and they're off. azul wraps his arms tightly around jamil's waist, clinging on for dear life. the frames of his glasses press painfully into his back as azul hides his face, and jamil can feel him shaking. it's almost enough to make him feel bad.

"azul," he huffs after a few minutes. he puts his hands over azul's, carefully prying him away, at least to loosen his suffocating hold. "it's fine. look at the view."

slowly, hesitantly, azul lifts his head. he turns up to the sky, pointedly refusing to look downward, and the obvious anxiety in his eyes is washed away by awe. it's kind of endearing.

jamil struggles to take his eyes off the housewarden. "see? it's not that bad."

azul blinks, as though realising where he is. he turns back to jamil, a little less stiff than before. "it's...fine." he coughs, straightening his glasses. "i don't appreciate being forced into this, though."

jamil snorts, looking ahead. "you'd never have done it willingly." azul's hands are still around him.

they both seem to notice this at the same time, but azul doesn't move and jamil doesn't tell him to. instead, azul's fingers press into the soft flesh of jamil's stomach, making him go rigid with a choked sort of gasp.

the carpet, being kalim's property, has long grown used to all sorts of antics, and can stay perfectly stable even while jamil squirms. he finds himself, not for the first time, being extremely grateful for that.

"i really don't like being tricked, jamil," comes azul's voice, suddenly low and sending shivers down jamil's spine. "you should pay one way or another, don't you think?"

"no, i d-dohon't," jamil growls, though he's sure any intimidation is thrown away by his poorly hidden laughter. "stohop this."

azul rests his chin on jamil's shoulder, even his hair tickling jamil's neck as his nails crawl along his torso. jamil giggles and grabs azul's hands, desperately holding himself back lest he falls off. "what, is this your weakness? don't worry, i won't tell anyone...without reason, of course."

"gah, stop ihihit!" jamil cries, curling his body around azul's hands as he succumbs to the sensation. he's giggling freely now, high-pitched and happy, and he hates it. he hates the way azul can so easily draw this kind of reaction from him, hates the feeling of fingers teasingly poking up his sides to find every sensitive spot, hates how damn ticklish he is.

he hates it all, so why doesn't he want it to stop?

✨Hello lovelies! ✨My first writer’s post is up on my blog (link in bio). I loved reading through your comments yesterday—thank you so much for sharing your thoughts with me! I felt like quite a few of you wanted to know more about plot, so that’s the first theme I’ve tackled. And since plot is such a vast topic, I honestly feel like I only scratched the surface with my thoughts. ✨ I’m planning to keep sharing the “For Writers” posts on Fridays, so if you have any other thoughts or requests, simply let me know! I will definitely plan to have a post about my agent—how I found her, how I queried her,etc— but I’ll probably share that one a little bit later down the road. ✨ Happy Friday! ✨ * * * * #writersofinstagram #writer #storyteller #authorsofinstagram #author #shelfie #rainbowshelves #bookstagram #book #booklover #forwriters
