Backstage (Black Sabbath - The Song That Changed An Album)

May 15, 2025

Welcome Backstage, I’m Damian DeadLove. Tonights band has a very interesting story on writing a song that far exceeded expectations of what it’s initial purpose was. I’m talking about Britain’s own, Black Sabbath. Often credited as one of the forefathers...

That’s super fascinating history, Damian. I don’t really follow Black Sabath, but I am familiar with that particular tune. I’m stunned that Ozzy never wrote lyrics. The dude was super fortunate to hang around people who did.

  Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, DK. So glad you enjoyed the story my friend. He attempted to write a few lyrics, but they were never standout lyrics. Plus he was fortunate enough to have guys around that could write lyrics. Appreciate you.

Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Keith. So glad you enjoyed the story my friend. I agree, each lineup had its appeal. “13” was not that great. Especially when in comparison with the last record they did with RJD. Under the “Heaven & Hell” moniker. That was a killer album. Appreciate you.

I never knew that about Ozzy. I always loved how unapologetic he was. He was just being him and that is that.

Great write

  Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Nick. So glad you liked the story my friend. Yeah, he attempted writing lyrics a couple of times. He’s no Geezer Butler. However he did write the vocal melodies. I’m a fan of him, that’s just the facts when it comes to what he contributes to songwriting. Appreciate you.

So another case of the unexpected stealing the show & in this case, saving the day! Maybe record labels should start letting the music makers do their thing & see much it nets their infamous gawdawful bottom line. Gah…another intriguing story, my friend

  Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Willow. So glad you enjoyed the story my friend. Very true, but the business men and bean-counters think they know best. It’s always up to the talent to save the day. There are more to come my friend, glad you love the series. Appreciate you.
