    A little while ago when tour dates were announced, I said to a friend, "I'm really upset I can't see Black Sabbath at PNC but I have Beyonce tickets for that day." First and last time that sentence will ever be uttered :lol::lol:

    One of the best songs of all time: http://youtu.be/DW3pZjmS3rg
    planet caravan

    "We sailed through endless skies
    Stars shine like eyes
    The black night sighs
    The moon in silver trees
    Falls down in tears

    Light of the night
    The earth, a purple blaze
    Of sapphire haze in orbital ways

    While down below the trees
    Bathed in cool breeze
    Silver starlight breaks dawn from night
    And so we pass on by
    The crimson eye of great god Mars
    As we travel the universe    "

    I am tired; my heart is
    sick and sad. From where
    the sun stands I will fight
    no more forever."

    Just started appreciating this band (at least everything up to and including Mob Rules --- Dio rules too!). It's Alright is a great tune (knew the song through Guns n Roses, didn't know it was a Sabbath song and esp. didn't know that Bill Ward sung it).

    Better than I was expecting but it didn't set the world on fire. I thought the single was awful but the album is worth a listen if nothing else. They were never gonna create anything close to their classics but this album hasn't brought any shame on them or their name. I have tickets to see them in December, can't wait :D
    i have all but their albums but "technical ecstacy", "born again", "cross purposes" & "never say die".. i am such a dick! wow! that's a lot of their albums i don't have! (i've heard them albums & had some of them before)
    i also like the tony iommi sabbath stuff when it is only him or maybe one other original member: eternal idol, headless cross & seventh star

    anyone here have the, "born again" album?

    One of Sabbath's best. One of rock's best for that matter.

    that's very cool! I am always amazed at all the things my son can play on guitar (he's 17). and the 12 year old does pretty well too. :mrgreen:

    I absolutely love planet caravan. It' s so soft and poetic. Will definitely listen to 13, I am really curious now.

    Solitude

    My name it means nothing
    my fortune is less
    My future is shrouded in dark wilderness
    Sunshine is far away, clouds linger on
    Everything I posessed - Now they are gone

    Oh where can I go to and what can I do?
    Nothing can please me only thoughts are of you
    You just laughed when I begged you to stay
    I've not stopped crying since you went away

    The world is a lonely place - you're on your own
    Guess I will go home - sit down and moan.
    Crying and thinking is all that I do
    Memories I have remind me of you
    ..........................................

    when i first heard this song i couldn't believe it as ozzy was never so beautiful (all of them beautiful) but that voice

    I actually prefer the Dio years to the Ozzy years.

    Mob Rules is such a great album!
  • LoujoeLoujoe Posts: 9,466
    I got into sabbath through dio. Heaven and Hell. Take a look at mob rules cover for a hidden mssg. Not sure if its common knowledge, but it's cool. Love them both. Dio has a much more polished smooth feel to it. Ozzy more satanic rawness.

    You’re definitely missing out if you’ve never heard the music they did with Dio. They wrote a bunch of great songs together...
