Lead guitarist Tony Iommi's loose tunings revolutionized the craft of electric guitar by uncovering unsuspected fuzzy depths. Bassist Geezer Butler, the man responsible for the lion's share of Sabbath's early hits, focused his lyrics on social ills, self-destructive behavior, fantasy and the occult, setting forth the primary concerns which continue to preoccupy Metal bands from velocity addicts Venom and Napalm Death to sludge fiends such as Monster Magnet. 4 - remain the clearest articulations of heavy metal vocabulary to date.

Their phenomenal first four albums - Black Sabbath, Paranoid, Master of Reality, and Vol. Rick Wakeman - 1973 (studio only, not a full member)
Tommy Clufetos - 2012-2017 (live only, not a full member) Mike Bordin - 1997 (live only, not a full member)īrad Wilk - 2013 (studio only, not a full member) Geezer Butler - 1968-1984, 1991-1994, 1997-2017Ĭraig Gruber - 1979 (rehearsals only while Butler contemplated leaving the band, the extent of his participation has been disputed) Although the band has announced that full-scale touring is done, Tony Iommi has stated that the door is still open for future music and possible live appearances. The band played their final live show in Birmingham, UK, on February 4, 2017. In 2013, the band released "13", their first studio album with Osbourne in 34 years. The three remaining members opted to continue without him. Shortly, afterward, Bill Ward dropped out, stating he had been given a contract that was "unsignable". In late 2011, it was announced that the original line-up would be recording and touring. The lawsuit was settled the following year. In 2009, Osbourne sued Iommi over control of the Black Sabbath name. A brand new live album was released under the Heaven & Hell name that same year, followed by a studio album in 2009. In 2007, Tony Iommi, Geezer Butler, Ronnie James Dio, and drummer Vinny Appice (who were featured on 1981's "Mob Rules" and 1992's "Dehumanizer") announced that they would tour together as Heaven & Hell (2) (with Iommi, who owns the Black Sabbath name, deciding to keep the Black Sabbath name solely for the original line-up in light of their Rock 'n' Roll HOF induction) to support a Dio-era greatest hits release, which also featured 3 new Dio/Iommi compositions. In 2006, the original line-up was inducted into the Rock 'n' Roll Hall Of Fame. In 2004, longtime keyboardist Geoff Nicholls was replaced by Adam Wakeman for an Ozzfest tour. After that, the group periodically reunited to tour with Ozzy's "Ozzfest" tour. In 1997, Iommi, Butler, Ward, and Osbourne reunited, touring and releasing a live album in 1998, although a long-rumored studio release did not appear (the group attempted to record a new album in 2001 with producer Rick Rubin but the sessions were scrapped). Throughout the changes, only Tony Iommi and keyboardist Geoff Nicholls, who also joined the band in 1979, would remain with Black Sabbath, although Nicholls would not always be credited as a full member. The line-up changes would continue, with no line-up remaining intact for consecutive studio releases. The original line-up lasted until 1979, after which Osbourne was fired and replaced by Ronnie James Dio.
BLACK SABBATH DRUMMER MOVIE
The band's original name was the Polka Tulk Blues Band (later shortened to Polka Tulk) and later on changed to Earth (12) before becoming Black Sabbath inspired by an Italian horror movie of the same name. Considered by many to be the first heavy metal band, Black Sabbath was formed in 1968 by Tony Iommi, Ozzy Osbourne, Geezer Butler and Bill Ward.
