Good Ol' Classic Blues Songs

[gweimer]

Sabbath was a straight blues band before they got signed. Tony's accident that cut off his fingertips led to them detuning and Ozzy's laziness made sure they stayed there. There are very clear blue roots under their music, but circumstance and their individual personalities changed it into something much more more than simply the sum of its parts. Those dirty Birmingham boys were the antithesis of hippie musing which grew into to prog overindulgence. Sabbath's extended jams always resolved rather than evolved, and once that tritone deal with the devil was struck, there was no going back. They literally laid down the framework that every angry metaller has since followed, myself included.

And there are those, such as myself, that would say nobody has every truly improved on what they started.

Darn, Nofi can't even get the Sabbath titles right,



he's snowblind! 

But not deaf (nor dumb) and thus able to hear (and grasp) the blues roots in this here, some of that stuff could come from a Cream, Fleetwood Mac (Peter Green era), Bluesbreakers or Canned Heat album:












You must really work at your preconceptions, Nofi! No need to get all paranoid about it, free your mind and the rest will follow ...



It's ok to credit Sabbath with their blues roots, doesn't make you lose credibility as a blooze afficionado!

Next week: Even the Purps did it!





Alas!, destruction of an empty argument is my one and only crime ...

Uwe should've posted the MTV video of Free Your Mind. was the first time I saw a Vox bass I think.

I looked for that, but it's not available in Germany. Hot vid, hot song, good message.

I don't remember Bukka White coming up before, but I might be wrong...

I put him on page 1! You can't remember a mere 55 pages ago? 

[nofi]

i posted him a couple times as did someone else.

My presence here shames the board...

My only redeeming quality comment is that you just can't get enough of a good thing...

Pick yourself up, Kenny-Boy!!! At least you didn't mistake one blues great with another. It's not always that easy to tell things apart, Ken, we know that, not for everyone.

This Forum prides itself in forgiving and forgetting.

[gweimer]

Forgetting what?

Forgetting what?   

I forgive you for forgetting.

Let's not bring it up again. It's water under the bridge ...
