...Black Sabbath: a fig newton of our imagination?
...editing pics in PS while listening to "Masters of Reality" album... DAMN - those mofo's had a unique and original sound...were they for realz or did we just imagine them? Dec 07 12 07:58 pm Link I agree they did have a unique sound and writing style. I listen to them, and a bunch of other stuff, while editing also. Edit: Forgot to add I love Fig Newtons too.

Their sound is instantaneously and unmistakenly recognizable!

Jan 17 13 04:04 pm Link BIRMINGHAM, ENGLAND (January 13, 2013)– Today, the 13th of January 2013, rock legends BLACK SABBATH have announced the title of their new album, 13, which will be released this June (exact date TBA). The original BLACK SABBATH–OZZY OSBOURNE (vocals), TONY IOMMI (guitar) and GEEZER BUTLER (bass)–have recorded the album primarily in Los Angeles and were joined at the sessions by drummer Brad Wilk (Rage Against The Machine). Produced by Rick Rubin (seven-time Grammy winner, two of those as Producer of the Year), the album will be released on Vertigo (worldwide) and Vertigo/Republic in the U.S. 13 marks the Grammy-winning, Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductees’ return to Vertigo, the band’s original label; it’s the group’s first studio album together since 1978’s Never Say Die! They have sold over 70 million albums together. source Jan 17 13 04:08 pm Link I'll be so pissed off if they don't actually tour in Birmingham... for once I live in a big city with a great music scene!! Jan 17 13 04:48 pm Link Sabbath was awesome. They were under appreciated Jan 17 13 04:49 pm Link Aaron Lewis Photography wrote: I didn't underappreciate them!!!! Sabbath RULES!!!!! Jan 17 13 04:51 pm Link So that others may revel in the glorious murk: Master of Reality (full album) Arguably the album's masterpiece, stand-alone: "Into The Void" (with a somewhat annoying glitch at 5:46, though... forewarned!) Jan 17 13 05:50 pm Link If you like Sabbath, check out Monster Magnet- either Superjudge or Dopes to Infinity. It's classic acid rock. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zf49V2yB3Z4 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lh4H5fgJPb8 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qmtGJ7vIXTc Jan 17 13 06:05 pm Link Pure Rubbish try DEEP PURPLE MACHINE HEAD.

A friend gave me a copy of that album on tape and I blasted it in my car all the time. I finally got to see the original lineup live at Ozzfest in 2001. By the time they came on stage I'd been awake for about 26 hours. It was totally worth it...
