Aside from being a Sabbath fiend in general, Behind The Wall Of Sleep = my all time favorite break.

SoulOnIce said:you are insane. Screaming Trees stuff on SST and their EP on Sub Pop are among the best psychedelic rock of the 80's.
My friends played all their records to me back in the day, I've seen them live in ca. '89 and to me they're still as unnecessary as it gets. They were the predecessors of grunge in all of its irrelevant annoyance.
"best psychedelic rock of the 80's" means as much as "best R&B of the 90's": poisonous shit.

no point in arguing with someone who just dismisses entire genres of music.
"80's psychedelic rock" or "90's R&B" are not musical genres, they're not even sub-genres, they're a cultural embarrassment.
Which all should not take the focus away from the original purpose of this thread, the worshiping of Black Sabbath. It's quite incredible how much seminal bands like Black Flag, Misfits or the Melvins owe to this band.
One of the most incredible bands ever and I can't help but admire by Ozzy's keen sense of fashion.

When I worked as a mailman, all my younger colleagues were huge metal fans, but only into current metal. I was pretty surprised to learn they had absolutely no love for Black Sabbath. None at all. The shame.
I'm no metalologist, but the riff at 3:15 in Sabbath Bloody Sabbath is the earliest example I can recall hearing of a muted-strings-metal-riff, the kind you'd hear all the time in newer metal. May be completely false, awesome riffage anyhow.

When I was a young youth playing the football, I used to listen to my cassette of We Sold Our Soul For Rock N Roll on repeat in my headphones on the bus ride to games. Riding toward a deserted Manning Bowl under an overcast sky when the riff kicks in a 4:52 in Black Sabbath will send chills down your spine. The Manning Bowl was where we played the two Lynn teams in our conference. For those non-Massachusites, Lynn is a tough town. Especially tough when I was growing up.
My nerdiest sab moment (besides having geezer and Tony autograph my fuzz pedal when I was 19) was listening to the 1st lp on my Walkman while I toured a dungeon by myself in Warwick castle.

Checking out the Sabbath clips above makes this type of stuff even more apparently stand out like the silly faux rock that it's always been. Thank god people like this nowadays have to work at Starbucks to pay their rent.
If only all of us could be marauding Cecil Rhodes prodigies.

Ive watched this doco a couple of times and this youtube clip a million times and I get chills every time Geezer goes from the Mars baseline to the Black Sabbath baseline. So good:
Favourite at the moment though, is Sabra Cadabra:

Kind of takes away from the mystique a bit, but my girlfriend's dad used to clean windows with Ozzie. He says Ozze was also house burglar. If that Osbournes show is anything to go by, it's probably just as well that his musical career took off.

Notice at the very end you can see Tony Iommi playing with the artificial finger tips (he lost them on his last day at work in a sheet metal factory). This led to him tuning down, which later became a staple in heavy metal.
