Black Sabbath
 

i've always known that Billy was really influenced by Sabbath, but i was listening to War Pigs today, and made a connection that i hadnt made until now. one of the guitar parts that Tony plays in the song (e.g. 2:24-2:45) is almost identical to the riff from Tribute to Johnny.

Yup.

No.

Maybe.

definitely maybe

Uncertainty excites me

To be honest, I first read your "2:24-2:45" as '2:44-2:45' and so I skipped the track to around 2:30, and as I was waiting for 2:44 I was thinking, 'geez, this already sounds like tribute to johnny, almost.'
so yeah, definitely maybe.

Need another pint to wake up wake up

It's played pretty much the same. :)

tony?

.

:rofl:

when you think about death, do you lose your breath or do you keep your cool?
would you like to see the pope on the end of a rope? do you think he's a fool?

OZZY'S REAL FIRST NAME IS JOHN. Maybe thats what he meant by tribute to johnny.

...iommi

Big fucking deal.

kim?

what's your problem?

fairy liquid fingers?

liquid finger fairys

i wonder if tony feels people making the devil horns sign are empathising with him?

.

because of how much bigger ozzy got after sabbath and how much smaller he became i would empathise.

i knew that Ozzy's name was John, but I never made that connection, either. good point!

No. It's not a good point


"We have a Johnny Winter tribute song that we're going to record for the next album. It sounds like Rick Derringer-era Johnny Winter, like the 'Rock'n'Roll Hootchie Koo' days... when i watched the Bob Dylan tribute, the only part that smoked me was when Johnny came out and did 'Highway 61'. Even James Iha, who couldn't give two shits about Johnny Winter, had his mouth hanging open." -BC

"Our tribute to Johnny Winter, circa 1974; a true original, and one of my favorite guitarists." -BC (Guitar World 1/97)

so what, you know billy is weird anyways. the ozzy thing could of been the riff connection. screw off!

Someone can't handle the truth.

i thought there was going to be more blood?

Ouch, help, it burns

black oblivion rips off snow blind and billy knew it so he made the lyrical joke "blind as snow".

just thought I'd share.
