And that would be a winning argument, I don't think it's close... but I don't even consider "Heaven and Hell" to be "Black Sabbath", it's more like a side project.


Wow, that's funny, I did the Columbia House thing too, have a ton of vinyl records I got from them, many were recorded onto tape, and seldom played, if at all. Some of them are in brand new condition.

Are you saying everything w/out Ozzy is a side project? If so, I agree. I like a lot of post-Ozzy Sabbath, but I don't consider it to be "Black Sabbath".

Absolutely, it's not Sabbath without Ozzy. Plus, "Heaven and Hell" had a different style altogether.

Agreed. I'm sure I'll upset some Iommi fans by saying this, but I think Ozzy doing Sabbath under the 'Ozzy Osbourne band' is more Sabbath, than a different singer in Sabbath doing actual Sabbath songs. As an example, as great of a singer as Dio was, he absolutely sucked at doing original Black Sabbath material.

Let me present the following ...

yeah, i always ended up with a bunch of junk i didnt like for a few that i really wanted.

The Columbia House deal was the best thing going growing up ... there's no way I would have had as much music as I did if it were not for those deals.

The only way to justify it was that I wanted to create a large album collection.

I hated the "we're gonna send you this selection of the month if you DON'T tell us not to". I got a few unwanted albums because I didn't send the stupid thing with the "NO" box checked a few times.

heresy!

[Dogs of Doom]

Although, honestly, I'm mixed about bands changing/losing too many members and still calling themselves _____________.....

Are the current the Who, really the Who? or are they the Two? Should Page & Plant have toured as Led Zeppelin? Many examples of this, including the current touring band Foreigner, whereas most of the time, it's a band foreign to the original Foreigner, except when Mick decides he wants to sit in...

When Black Sabbath was inducted to the R&R HOF, was it all 200 members (past & present) or just the original 4?

 

[Adwex]

heresy!

Not at all. Ozzy is the voice of Sabbath, and it seems like Ozzy era Sabbath had a particular writing style and "sound" that sounds nothing like Dio era Sabbath.

My comment was tongue & cheek...

Although, Geezer wrote most of the lyrics... Just like Daisley wrote most of Ozzy's popular lyrics in Blizzard of Oz. So much so, that after Sharon (who owns Ozzy's balls & has the stored in a dungeon somewhere) fired him, they had to re-hire him to write lyrics & perform on the next album so it wouldn't be so obvious that Ozzy didn't write those lyrics himself & isn't capable of either...

Like I said, I do have problems when bands play musician swap too much. I am a Sabbath fan from way back (when I was about 4-5 years old) & I tend to dig the more obscure stuff like Hand Of Doom, The Writ, Megalomania, Wicked World.

Maybe they should have changed names for every change in the line-up. One killer album though is Eternal Idol, w/ Daisley on bass & also doing the lyric writing duties as well.

The label thought that was the best for commercial purposes, which seems was the reason they kept the name for all those years. Even when Iommi was set to do a solo album, the label pulled the plug & called it another BS album... (Seventh Star)
