Fevered Distraction: Black Sabbath "Black Sabbath"
Damn, I love this album and this band. I adore this video because it highlights the brillance of the guitarist, Mr Iomma, who despite losing the fingertips of two fingers, really is one of the greatest rock guitarists ever. No violin bows or dry ice needed, a la Jimmy Page. And, Ozzy.....man what happened to him? This is how I want to see Ozzy. I feel if he retired after a short solo career he would still be viewed as "The Prince of Darkness". He ironically to my mind would have made far more money as the dark, gothic and scarce enigma who fronted this very influential band. Now people just scream "Sharon" at him. It seems that so many people can only look at things in the very short term, and the Oz man is one of them. Rock is supposed to be about mystery and voodoo chile, honey.....not reality television money.
