    Awesome, awesome band. Back in the day, my dad skipped school to see Sabbath in NYC on their very first US tour- pretty amazing!

    That is pretty damn cool! One show I would see if I could go back in time for is a Sabbath show in the 70's.

    I ordered their first 3 albums from Amazon last week.
    Waiting...patiently.
    I haven't heard the first and third. Only samples.

    How have these worked for you?

    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

    Took me 4 or 5 listens, but I really like it. Probably nothing on par with songs like Children of the Grave or Sabbath Bloody Sabbath, but most of the record after repeated listenings is pretty darn close, IMO. Damaged Soul is my personal favorite.

    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 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:
