Then as I got older, I always gravitated towards the hard stuff, Born To Be Wild, then Black Sabbath.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
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.
Who doesn't like to play Black Sabbath tunes!
That's really the thing that got me into playing a lot - getting excited about playing along with my favorite bands like Zeppelin and 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.
If there was no Black Sabbath, I could still possibly be a morning newspaper delivery boy. No fun.
I was so frustrated in Sabbath after the last few albums. I just didn't like the musical direction Sabbath was going in.
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.
Black Sabbath invented heavy metal, in my opinion.
People that love this form of music have loved it from way back - Sabbath, Zeppelin, the early days.
I never try and sound like Sabbath.
