Why were these dudes so fucking good?
>>129670379idk
Nope. They are horribly amateurish musicians, which I would actually look past if their songs did something for me. But they don't.
>>129670456they invented heavy metal
>>129670456
A combination of the happy accident of Iommi having to literally invent a new, trademark style of riffing due to his handicap and the choice to make their lyrics horror movie themed. Imagine all those epic riffs like War Pigs, Snowblind but with lyrics about falling in love or chasing birds. It never would have worked. So there was a perfect storm of these 2 necessary qualities that no one could have predicted.
>>129670468They had a big role in the genesis of a lot of heavy metal tropes, so what? I'm forced to like them because they helped birth a genre I otherwise don't really like anyways? Fuck off.>>129670470>opinions are bait
>>129671848>opinions are baitThis is not an opinion this is just astronomical retardation no one is really capable of believing such
>>129670379for Satanists they sure wear a lot of crucifixes and shit
>>129672167Those aren't crucifii. A crucifix would have a 3-dimensional corpus of Christ. These are just plain, old crosses, which may or mayn't have to do with their relationship to satan.
>>129672167They're christian

>>129670379Imagine if if 1973 Black Sabbath released their new album Larks Tongues In Aspic. And that same year King Crimson released their new album Sabbath Bloody Sabbath. How would people view both bands today.
everything before vol 4 bores the crap out of me. Dehumanizer, sabotage and Born again are peak
>>129670379I'm not afraid to say I do.
>>129670379Iommi is the god of riffs, simple as.
Unironically the best sabbath albumhttps://music.youtube.com/watch?v=DdeAG3pUyF0&si=What
