00:00:28 The first record to turn me on was She Loves You.
00:02:51 we knew we had something special. But we hadn't got a direction.
00:04:15 and the songs that backed up the Black Sabbath name came
00:06:04 Because it hadn't been quite said like that.
00:07:55 Especially with some of the drumming
00:09:46 Not only from their point of view, but we'd got a gig in Germany!
00:11:13 Rehearsing before gigs, soundchecks.
00:12:43 And then once that was sorted
00:15:11 and concerned with good and evil.
00:18:38 but the riffs that drive it are just like no other guitar player.
00:20:46 I didn't even know what the word meant.
00:22:46 and to the way those albums sounded.
00:24:54 There were all different, like, feels to each song.
00:27:36 A lot of the times he'd come out with one word
00:30:47 and it's got this kind of ambient quality
00:33:30 all basically doing the same melody and riffing together.
00:35:42 But I think it all slips into what you're writing
00:37:34 instead of going straight back to America, they'd have to have like a half-way house.
00:40:35 The vocal on Hand Of Doom, for me, is really classic Ozzy.
00:42:56 Changing the time there.
00:45:42 they're the four guys standing outside the house, on the front porch
00:47:27 and turning the sound way up and shaking the whole building.
00:50:04 so that's where the lyrics from Paranoid came from.
00:52:49 ''Oh. Still works.''
