(not that Zep was no good...they kicked ass) Sabbath I, actually, think that Sabbath is much more of a blues band than Zep...listen to songs like the Wizard - talk about blues influence. And also, before they were Black Sabbath they were Earth - a blues group. But I see your point...they became more metal than Zep ever did. Also, they did stuff that was so simple it was great. I mean, listen to Paranoid - Ozzy's words match the riffs almost exactly. It's amazing. >owes most of their greatness, in my opinion, to Tony Iommi for writing >simple, but incredibly killer riffs on the guitar. Also, the tuned down >thing, half step or dropped D, is used extensively by SG. (dropped D I >mean). i think that Electric Funeral and Paranoid and Sabbath, Bloody Yep...the drop D tuning is amazing. For those of you in the dark, Tony had an accident of some sort, cut off the tips of the fingers on his left hand..which is the hand used for holding the strings. He de-tuned a half-step so it was easier to hold the strings. That's the main reason their riffs are so low and dark. >Sabbath are the best BS efforts. Not that I am dissing Iron Man, or War >Pigs or Fairies WEar Boots, or geez, any other Sabbath song. Oh well >they rock and I'm about out of breath, so... I'd have to say that it's either The Wizard or Sabbath Bloody Sabbath if you're talking the old stuff....but things change drastically when they snag Dio and Ozzy leaves. What do you think of the CURRENT Sab as well as the old one? =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- \ If I would, could you?

I just started listning to "hands all over" a couple of weeks ago. I know I have had the album for about a year know but it takes that long to assimilate a sg album. Especially since I bought bmf about the same time. Anyway I thought it was obvious that it was about the enviroment. It just goes to show that when people don't listen to music with an open mind the just hear what the want to hear. Just to prove themselves right. Sounds like it should be a verse in my wave.

He quit his job at the factory, but still went in to work the last day, he got the tips of his fingers caught in one of the machines and had to put false fingertips on to play.. ------------------------------ From: foreshocks@bbs.cowland.com Subject: Re: spoonman ...

BL> Brian He was credited because during the filming for Singles, with that band Citizen Dick and all.. well, Jeff Ament designed the fake Citizen Dick tape cover I guess, and he put some fictional song titles on the cover, and Spoonman was one of them. foreshocks ------------------------------ From: The Stranded Subject: Greetings from the Mailman. I have a couple of questions for any interested parties; Are there any guitartists out there in possesion of the acoustic version of 'Like Suicude'? If so, who wants to collaborate on a Tab of it. I think that this tune is a great aid to any guitarist wishing to examine the way Chris and Kim's styles compliment each other. However, I dont have a 12-string which I think is used, but that shouldn't be too much of a problem. Don't you think that if Soundgarden come to the UK on tour, they should definately play a reasonable amount of dates - spread the word, so to speak. But on the other hand, if they (the people) haven't caught on yet, then maybe it's for the best;-) Peace to all. - - the Mailman. - ------Hello, don't you know me?------- ------------------------------ From: ar303921@student.uq.edu.au (DEFsonic, a sonic trip) Subject: Re: List t-shirt >That's pretty much the idea.
