The Eternal Idols Episode 6 - Black Sabbath - Sabotage

[ozzydoop1]

Reply LordMenace February 5, 2012 3:03 pm Sabotage to me is simply a masterpiece & worthy of any classic album series! It stands tall in its own unique right as an album which lures the listener into a sublime yet heavy journey of an almost insane gospel of metal & wrath. A true heavy & incredibly underrated Black Sabbath album & which in a way, makes it even that more special.

I liked "Supertzar" but didn't care too much for "Am I Going Insane", I personally thought "Insane" would have fit better on their next album Technical Ecstasy

Am I going Insane (radio) is a dud. The song features Ozzy repeating the song title for over four minutes with Iommi coaxing weird feedback sounds out of his guitar that always seems to give me a headache.

[mystr331]

"Symptom Of The Universe". The riff in this song may be Iommi's finest. It's certainly in the top five out of literaly hundreds of Tony Iommi riffs! The song writing of this song is nothing short of amazing. About four minutes into the song an acoustic guitar comes into play. The genius is it goes from really heavy in the first four minutes and then the last two minutes or so are peaceful. Awesome track.

mr brother always jokes around and said this album was produced by satan because it sounds like WW3 on record!

"Blow On a Jug" was also on the Warner Bros cassette issues after "The Writ" ended. When I first heard it when I bought the cassette in May of 1995 at Strawberries for $8 (I only bought the Warner Bros issues of the original albums on cassette initially, I avoided the low budget label issues as I feared shit sonic quality) I was like "what the fuck is this". Then when I bought the WB CD I said "where is "Blow on a Jug"". Luckily it's on all remastered issues.

interesting that this vid has more views than any of your other ones?  Theories?

Three Sabbath album I never get enough. Sabotage #1, Never Say Die #2, Technical Ecstasy #3. And the best Sabbath song ever is Hard Road. Period.

[VAROCKER1]

@gageking97 buy SABOTAGE!!! it's the best you will love it.

Supertzar and Am I going Insane seriously disrupt the flow of the album. Two very weak #'s. Insane is a TERRIBLE representation for the Sabotage album.

[TheSheeeit]

@Chrisdrumz

I do agree with you that Insane is a terrible--probably the worst--representaion of the album, but I think it is a necessary song on the album. I think there was no other way to lead into The Writ, than to do it with this song. I always looked at Am I Going Insane as The Writ's retarded little brother. That has helped me accept it. Plus, Bill Ward's drumming is a little curious in it as well.

Im having a great time looking back at these records, I forgot about some of these tracks!

[gageking97]

idk which to buy next, Sabotage or Sabbath Bloody Sabbath??? any suggestions or any other ones to get???

[eternalidols]

@gageking97 Though I prefer Sabbath Bloody Sabbath I would say get Sabotage first. For me Sabbath Bloody Sabbath is a grower. And once it sinks in you'll be hooked! Sabotage just hits you over the head on the first listen. They both RULE!

[HeavyIronMetalMaiden]

Great video!! Great live footage!!

thumbs up man! hope u do all blacksabbath albums!
