I've noticed over the years there's a lot of crossover between punk fans and NWOBHM fans, and I know a lot of people that love both.

Interesting Fact....Bruce Dickinson was at the Launch Party for About Time which was held on a Boat on the Thames. I am sure there was a Picture of him in Strangled with JJ or Paul?StanInBlack wrote:I've noticed over the years there's a lot of crossover between punk fans and NWOBHM fans, and I know a lot of people that love both.

I wondered if he knew JJ at some point, and that's why JJ got to take over his radio show for a few weeks. I wondered what other reason there would be for picking him, as he has no other experience (that I know of) at hosting radio shows, and as it was a heavy rock show IIRC not much in common with the music, either.Cells&Plasma wrote: ↑23 Apr 2021, 18:00 Interesting Fact....Bruce Dickinson was at the Launch Party for About Time which was held on a Boat on the Thames.

He's a multi talented bastard, is Bruce Dickinson. Not only a formidable singer and radio host, but I remember at one point when they were touring that he was piloting the plane!

Cornucopia and Under The Sun are my fave Iommi riffs on this brilliant album.StanInBlack wrote: ↑22 Apr 2021, 20:27
All this recent convo about Sabbath has got me digging out this masterpiece...
I’ll show you how to play em if you like Stanley.

Meh, lots of Sabbath's stuff isn't particularly difficult to play, although plenty of their songs are interestingly structured. "Symptom of the Universe" from Sabotage is another favourite - heavy as fuck, and Ozzy sounds proper pissed off on it.

I’m a bit hit and miss with Sabbath but I love Sabotage.
I can't help getting old. I just refuse to grow up.

It's a great record! I've heard many slag it off over the years, which I've never understood... "Hole in the Sky", "Symptom of the Universe", "Megalomania", "The Writ" ... all amazing tracks, IMO. Love the combination of riffage and choir on "Supertzar" as well. The sleeve coulda been better, mind!

The Riffmeister Iommi’s Riffs are super easy to play that’s why they are the best IMHO.
Anyway my fave Sabbath riff to play is INTO THE VOID.
