Black Sabbath invented heavy metal, in my opinion.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I was really into Black Sabbath, but heavy guitars can really be very limiting, it's a great frequency and it's great fun to listen to but on the other hand, musically you can do a lot more without it.
Then as I got older, I always gravitated towards the hard stuff, Born To Be Wild, then Black Sabbath.
I was mostly influenced by bands like Black Sabbath and Judas Priest - Metallica's 'Kill 'Em All' was also a hell of an inspiration.
People that love this form of music have loved it from way back - Sabbath, Zeppelin, the early days.
I think people will always love a heavy Sabbath riff because it's fundamental to rock.
To some people heavy metal is Motorhead and to others it's Judas Priest.
If there was no Black Sabbath, I could still possibly be a morning newspaper delivery boy. No fun.
Black Sabbath was written on bass: I just walked into the studio and went, bah, bah, bah, and everybody joined in and we just did it.
Who doesn't like to play Black Sabbath tunes!
To me, Sabbath was always JUSt a really heavy blues band. That s all we were. We just took those blues roots and made them heavier.
