Black Sabbath
📀 Live Evil
#HeavyMetal
Ozzy Osbourne
📀 Speak Of The Devil
#HeavyMetal
40 years Black Sabbath and Ozzy Osbourne from Birmingham, #UK released 2 live albums at the same time.
The 2 albums have much in common:
1- #BlackSabbath publishing deal with their previous management had expired early that year; it meant that by re-recording Sabbath 1970s songs all songwriters would benefit from the publishing royalties: and both Sabbath and Ozzy were desperately in need of money!
2- Both albums led to the 2 band's breakup, read here the reasons why:
👉 Speak Of The Devil, the album nobody wanted to record
👉 Live Evil, mutual accusations Black Sabbath / R.J. Dio
In Live Evil:
#TonyIommi – guitar
#GeezerButler – bass
#RonnieJamesDio – vocals
#VinnyAppice – drums
#GeoffNicholls – keyboards
In Speak Of The Devil:
#OzzyOsbourne - vocals, harmonica
#BradGillis - guitar
#RudySarzo - bass
#TommyAldridge - drums

#HeavyMetal
It was Friday 13 of 55 years ago when Black Sabbath from Birmingham, England #UK, released their self-titled debut album.
Scary album cover, haunting guitar riff, wicked and unique vocals... after few notes the entire Rock scene was ready for a change, since this is unanimously regarded as the first Heavy Metal album, and #BlackSabbath as the most influential band in the genre and all its subgenres.
The album contains 2 cover songs, "Evil Woman" of #Crow and "Warning" of #AynsleyDunbarRetaliation.
Still shivering like the first time I put on my vinyl in #VeniceRocksRoom☝️
Evil eternal 🖤
In this album:
#OzzyOsbourne – vocals, harmonica, tambourine
#TonyIommi – guitar
#GeezerButler – bass
#BillWard – drums
Additional personnel

📀 Sabotage
#HeavyMetal #ProgressiveRock #ProgressiveMetal
50 years ago Black Sabbath from Birmingham, #UK released their 6th studio album.
Sabotage was recorded in the midst of a legal battle with the band's former manager, Patrick Meehan, its title was inspired by that.
Despite these tensions, Sabotage is widely considered one of the best #BlackSabbath, for sure the closest thing to Progressive Rock they ever did.
Absolute masterpiece, one of my favorites from them ❤️🔥🤘
In this album:
#OzzyOsbourne – vocals, synthesizer
#TonyIommi – guitars, piano, synthesiser, organ, harp
#GeezerButler – bass, mellotron
#BillWard – drums, percussion, piano and backing/scat vocals
Additional Personnel
#WillMalone – arrangements for the English Chamber Choir

📀 Paranoid
#HeavyMetal
55 years ago Black Sabbath from Birmingham, England #UK, released their 2nd studio album.
Paranoid came out few months after the band's 👉 debut album.
It brought the heaviest guitar riffs ever heard at the time and disclosed to the world this new music genre: Heavy⚡️Metal.
Virtually every musician who started a Heavy Metal band in the next years, decades (and perhaps centuries) did it because of this!
"You can only trust yourself and the first six #BlackSabbath albums"🤘
- Henry Rollins
In this album:
#OzzyOsbourne – vocals
#TonyIommi – guitars, flute
#GeezerButler – bass
#BillWard – drums, congas
Additional personnel
#TomAllom – piano

Black Sabbath
📀 Master Of Reality
#HeavyMetal
55 years ago Black Sabbath from Birmingham, England #UK, released their 3rd studio album.
For this album Iommi and Butler downtuned their instruments, achieving what Iommi called a "bigger, heavier sound"🤘
For this reason Master Of Reality is not only considered a Heavy Metal milestone, also the forefather of #StonerRock / #SludgeMetal.
The album begins with a tape loop of Tony Iommi coughing from a joint he was smoking with Ozzy Osbourne, perfect introduction to the opener "Sweet Leaf", an overt ode to marjuana.
The proto speed metal "After Forever", the anthem "Children Of The Grave", the stunning psychedelic walz "Solitude", the final stoner "Into The Void"...
Essential #BlackSabbath, total masterpiece ❤️🔥
In this album:
#OzzyOsbourne – vocals
#TonyIommi – guitars, synthesiser, flute, piano
#GeezerButler – bass
#BillWard – drums, percussion, sleighbells
