OkNope, Geezer.
I'm not really into metal like some are so I'm not really qualified to comment, but isn't the story that Tony Iomi created the sound because of the way he set up his guitar strings to allow him to play after injuring his hand in an industrial accident.
Geezer wrote the songs, well, lyrics I suppose. It was a unit rather than four individuals though.
Aye. Sabbath = not metal. Metal owes a lot to Black Sabbath though.@chriswallace85 has strong opinions on this subject. Personally, I would go with Sabbath being the band who made Heavy Metal a 'thing' but I can't see them ending being the end of HM as a genre. Whether you like it or not, it certainly has longevity.
Tony Iommi. Though metal certainly wouldn't die with him, and he still isn't heavy metal himself.Is it fair to say he is the most important man of heavy metal and when he dies metal dies?
I bet Geezer's royalty cheques say otherwise.Lyrics are nowt
Sabbath are the band that started it all, legends
Zeppelin, Purple and Priest also very influential, even The Kinks had some killer metal riffs.
All genres of metal owe a lot to these bands, especially the mighty Sabbath
could he play any instruments? he is the most important man of heavy metal ? you are miles away man , hes just a fat brickie from brumIs it fair to say he is the most important man of heavy metal and when he dies metal dies?
SMB this shite

Of couese 'metal music' will not die when Ozzy dies. He was the voice of Sabbath but did not contribute anything songwriting wise. The death of Hetfield/Ulrich/Harris/Dickinson will be bigger loses imo - hopefully they are all nowhere near dying! Christ this is getting morbid (angel).
my opinion mate , sorryThe Who fuckin crap?!
Give yourself a shake lad!
And you can keep it but I haven't a clue why you mentioned The Who on a Sabbath/metal thread.my opinion mate , sorry

How can you say Ozzy contributed nothing songwriting size ?....That's ridiculous !.....He has contributed to some of the best metal songs ever..... both solo and with Sabbath.
I would argue that although not a heavy metal band initially Zeppelin were more influential.
Zeppelin 1 and 2 were released in ‘68 and ‘69 a year or 2 before Black Sabbath.
Their hard rock sound had already made waves.
He wasn't even the biggest influence in his own band. That accolade goes to Tony Iommi.Is it fair to say he is the most important man of heavy metal and when he dies metal dies?
NDOYT FFS.
This. I nearly shat meself there man woman man.
He contributed his voice and he was amazing as a singer for the band, but he was not a songwriter or lyricist - I didn't mean to undermine him too much really. I love Ozzy/SabbathHow can you say Ozzy contributed nothing songwriting size ?....That's ridiculous !.....He has contributed to some of the best metal songs ever..... both solo and with Sabbath.
Heaven and Hell is their best album.. dio is undeniably a better singer and brought that little bit extra to the bandLoved Sabbath live but tin hat on Dio took them up another level.
Seriously? Read it again mateAnd you can keep it but I haven't a clue why you mentioned The Who on a Sabbath/metal thread.
Ozzy as a front man for Sabbath and also fronting his own band was out there on his own. To say he had a great voice is another thing entirely. He was ok as a singer but in my opinion nowhere near the likes of Dio.He contributed his voice and he was amazing as a singer for the band, but he was not a songwriter or lyricist - I didn't mean to undermine him too much really.
