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

    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.

    • Sabbath is one of the most influential bands on earth. Whether you like Ozzy or Dio or Tony Martin, All of their line ups are special. Except the last album they did titled “13”. That’s pure shit!!
      Nice work here Damian. Your a talent..Truly.

      • 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.

    • That was amazing. I love the growly voice. Damian;))

      • Thanks so much for reading/listening and your kind words, Fia. So glad you liked the write and performance my friend. The growl was the only thing vocally I never questioned myself about. Appreciate you.

        Damian

    • Tremendous work. You nailed it.

    • Cool idea with the vocals and the words are killer. Nice job Damian.

      • Thanks so much for reading/listening and your kind words, Keith. So glad you enjoyed the piece my friend. Yeah, it was a way to incorporate with the death growl. Which I thought went well juxtaposed to the spoken part. Appreciate you.

        Damian

    • I’ve always enjoyed the voices that have gravel in their DNA. This is a little different for you but still 100% you. And brilliant! Love seeing all the facets in different light, my friend

      • Thanks so much for reading/listening and your kind words, Willow. So glad you enjoyed the performance my friend. It took me almost 15 years to be comfortable enough to share these pieces. I have three more, but I can’t find the words to them. lol. I was not in the best place in those recordings, I was drinking like a fish, which makes sense being that I’m a Pisces. lol. But it was different, because I was different. I was not the person I am now. But I’m not afraid to be me anymore, so why sit on the material. Appreciate you.

    • Damian!!! Oh Damian, this is….. Wow, it’s not often I’m rendered speechless. I like the transition from your voice to the death growl. Very masculine, very sexy. It’s like that old saying, “two sides of the same coin” I think that applies here…maybe, lol. Same person, two different sides of him but they have the common goal of being released. The death growl was the cherry on top of this beautiful piece. I applaud you my friend! xx

      • Thanks so much for reading/listening and your kind words, P.G. So glad you enjoyed this piece. It does have a, Dr. Jekyll, Mr. Hyde kinda vibe. Glad you loved the growl, very cool. At one time in history it was kinda frowned upon by the masses to death growl growing up. Times change or so they say. Appreciate you.

        Damian

    • Very impressive, Damian. I really like your voice and the lyrics were perfect.

    • Great ink. It had a great flow.
