I confess. I love Black Sabbath's "Iron Man," but not from listening to the album Paranoid. I was first introduced to this song during the end credits of the first Iron Man movie. So it's fair to say I'm not a massive Sabbath fan... or I didn't know I was one until I watched this video.
If you're a music nut, like the kind that reads all the lyrics, stares at a cover for hours trying to figure out what it means, and maybe goes beyond all that and wants to know how an album came together from the first chords of an idea to the finished recorded track (and in some cases, how the songs got their titles), then this video is for you.
First off, there's so much great imagery in here, period footage that really takes you back to the '70s, shots of the band (Ozzy looks so young! I only know him from his reality shows - and for the record, Ozzy, don't dye your hair anymore, all right? You look way better with that natural gray!), incredible extras like a piece of Sabotage paperwork, a manager contract, and concert posters.
Oh, and you find out how appropriate the album title, Sabotage, is! Plus, this video has a Hulk!
The filmmakers prove a lot of rumors false and tell you what really happened. And yes, truth still matters. Also I learned a couple things. Like this Godfather of Rock guy who managed Black Sabbath at one point is also the dad of Sharon Osbourne. And I know what a mellotron is now.
Overall, Sabbath seems like a bunch of regular guys. Not the devil worshippers people back then made them out to be. But the story this video tells shows you exactly who the real devils were.
I'll be honest: Mostly, this is stuff my dad listens to. I like a lot of the heavier songs he's played for me, but I never really thought much about the band and how there was nothing like them before. It's a little hard to imagine with all the heavy jam available today, but this video shows you how Black Sabbath were heavy pioneers of absolute jam.
