@ptolemny Sabbath was probably Vitus biggest influence collectively I suppose, but Dave Chandler was heavily into 70's Judas Priest and Scorpions, and Mark Adams was big into Skynyrd and early ZZ Top and the southern rock thing, not to mention the fact they loved Black Flag, and The Stooges, so I guess they were never going to be your typical Sabbath copyists.

i seen vitus back in the day and even did a couple of shows with them , there heavier than sab in the 70's verison , except durning the born again tour. and i seen sabbath 13 times myself , still vitus is heavier

[Punk93Metal]

I would've seen Vitus at their prime. Heck, I'd be happy see them period!

@ptolemny Oh yeah and I didn't mean that Vitus sounds like Sabbath, I meant Ginn has good taste for "discovering" them or whatever and I meant it's expected since (i thought) his favorite band was Sabbath.

peace

@ptolemny oh i heard it was Sabbath, but I think what I read meant they were the biggest influence on Black Flag.. yeah I would expect his new shit to be different. Ginn's a musician that can't really play the same shit over and over again which sets him apart from the punk crowd

[ptolemny]

@snubbs741 Ginn liked Sabbath, but his favorite band was the Grateful Dead; he claimed to have seen them over 75 times. If you listen to the stuff Ginn is doing now (Jambang and the Taylor, Texas Corrugators), the Dead influence is readily apparent, but you'd be hard pressed to hear any Sabbath in there. On another note, Saint Vitus doesn't sound that much like Sabbath in my opinion. They definitely have a Sabbath influence, but I'd say Vitus is darker and heavier than Sabbath.
