Black Sabbath - Neon Knights

Black Sabbath has been so influential in the development of heavy metal rock music as to be a defining force in the style. The group took the blues-rock sound of late '60s acts like Cream, Blue Cheer, and Vanilla Fudge to its logical conclusion, slowing the tempo, accentuating the bass, and emphasizing screaming guitar solos and howled vocals full of lyrics expressing mental anguish and macabre fantasies. If their predecessors clearly came out of an electrified blues tradition, Black Sabbath took that tradition in a new direction, and in so doing helped give birth to a musical style that continued to attract millions of fans decades later.

Oh no, here it comes again
can't remember when we came so close to love before
Hold on, good things never last
nothing's in the past, it always seems to come again
again and again and again ooh again oh

Cry out to legions of the brave
time again to save us from the jackals of the street
Ride out, protectors of the realm
capatin's at the helm, sail across the sea of lights

Circles and rings, dragons and kings
weaving a charm and a spell
Blessed by the night, holy and bright
called by the toll of the bell

bloodied angels fast descending
moving on a never-bending light
phantom figures free forever
out of shadows, shining ever-bright

Neon Knights!
Neon Knights! all right!

Cry out to legions of the brave
time again to save us from the jackals of the street
Ride out, protectors of the realm
capatin's at the helm, sail across the sea of lights
again and again, again and again and again

Neon Knights!
Neon Knights!
neon knights!
all rise

Fuuuuck Tony Iommi is such a great guitarist. There are metal players that came afterward that could employ more technical flash, but for sheer groove and feel in the service of doom-laden metal,Tony simply cannot be beat.

How many bands can claim they had lead vocals by not one, but two GODS OF METAL?

[karlmoles65]

@musashihumar Oh no doubt of it.

[karlmoles65]

@TheNemesisFY Actually in their day the Mark II lineup was.

[musashihumar]

@karlmoles65 You mean FOUR GODS OF METAL. Everyone in Black Sabbath was amazing and was vital to the sound. :)

@BloodglowglowDOTcom Ian Gillan is great lead singer on rock n' roll, but he ain't a metal god. Deep Purple ain't metal.

[BloodglowglowDOTcom]

@karlmoles65 THERE WAS ACUALLY 3 "Gods of metal" lead singers Ian Gillan from Deep Purple also sang with Black Sabboth

@radacast7 Well to me I don't factor in their personal lives when it comes to the music. If I did I couldn't enjoy much of anything. It's not my job to judge their morality or ethics. If I did I couldn't listen to Guns & Roses,. Metallica, Burzum, Mayhem, and the list goes on. I will give you credit though for Dio, Harris, and Warrel being paragons, but everyone in Metal isn't gonna be.

@TheGreatDuck I should know who they are....

[TheGreatDuck]

@radacast7 They still had Rob Halford front them on a few occasions...And they also had Gillan. And Glenn Hughes. And Ray Gillen and Tony Martin, who are both underrated as hell (well, Glenn is too, to a degree).

[TheGreatDuck]

@karlmoles65 No, Dennis Wilcock and Paul Day are the real gods! :p

[radacast7]

@karlmoles65 th truth is in the middle. i don't believe that he should give his money to the poor but he was advertising himself because he was taking drugs and make money his ultimate purpose in life.When you are Ozzy you got to think that people will have as an example.I can rank Dio,Steve Harris,Bruce and Warrel Dane from Nevermore.
