1. I don't think Iommi is the greatest of all time

I think Randy Rhodes, Jimi Hendrix, Robert Page and Kirk Hammett were the best in metal of all times.

[Commendatori]

3. I don't, either

For me, it's Ritchie Blackmore, hands down.

9. There will never be a better riff-mongerer...

than Iommi. That is what Black Sabbath contributed to metal.

2. Absof'nlutely!!!!! Master of Reality RULES!!!!!!!!

..."I looooove you sweet leaf...oh yeah baby!!" :loveya::smoke:....I already own the entire collection....but I'd recommend this Box Set HIGHLY! :headbang:*bows in worship o'Ozzy*:headbang:

*snip of article*

Q: You must be proud of this set. If someone wanted to know what the early days of Black Sabbath were all about, are you happy that this does the job? Is this the one they should go out and get?

IOMMI: I think they should buy my car. No really, without a doubt. This is it. For those years. If you want to hear what Black Sabbath was about with Ozzy ... this is it.

6. After Forever

Yes. "Master of Reality" is a gem, dammit!

8. Yes indeed.....a lyric tribute....

After Forever....

Have you ever thought about your soul...
Can it be saved...

Or perhaps you think that when you're dead...you stay in your grave....

Is God just a thought within your head or is he part of you....

Is Christ just a name that you read in a book when you were in school....

When you think about death do you lose your breath or do you keep your cool?

Would you like to see the Pope on the end of a rope....do you think he's a fool....

Well I have seen the truth...
Yes I've seen the light...
And I've changed my ways....
And I'll be prepared when you're lonely and scared at the end of our days....

Could it be you're afraid of what your friends might say...if they knew you believe in God above...

They should realize before they criticise...that God is the only way to love....

Is your mind so small that you have to fall in with the pack wherever they run...

Will you still sneer when death is near...and say they may as well worship the sun....

I think it was true it was people like you that crucified Christ...
I think it is sad the opinion you had was the only one voiced....

Will you be so sure when your day is near...say you don't believe....
You had the chance but you turned it down...now you can't retrieve....

Perhaps you'll think before you say that God is dead and gone....
Open your eyes...just realize that he is the one....

The only one who can save you now from all this sin and hate....

Or will you still jeer at all you hear...Yes....I think it's too late.

4. Now Geezer Butler is the greatest bass player of all time

That's what Black Sabbath contributed to Heavy Metal.

[Lefty48197]

5. Sabbath rules!

Volume 4, Sabotage, Sabbath Bloody Sabbath...

what a bunch of jams.

[sasquatch]

7. "War Pigs" is awesome in my opinion

It and "Fortunate Son" were the best anti-war songs to listen to on the run up to Iraq.

[flamingyouth]

10. I hoped you were going to say they were playing War Pigs

As they went to commercial or something!:D Oh, we can only hope! I love Sabbath - especially their first three albums.:headbang:
