LEX: Oh my God, I'm in the back of a vehicle, with some, like thing tied to my eyes...ya know what I'm saying? Some duct tape on my mouth, like I'm blindfolded and like WHERE ARE THEY TAKING ME???

BRAD: I'm just thinkin' this song is in slow motion.

LEX: yeah

[Annonymous]

You have to remember what this song represents. Before that rain started, the world had never heard metal.

[Nickel]

This song alone created a whole genre of metal. It’s a classic.

[sixslinger]

I heard this as a kid in mid 1970s over at a friend's house and it scared the livin' shit out of me! Yep, this is definitely the origins of metal, THIS SONG kicks it off.

Brad: "It's bypassing all my defenses."

Finally!!!

Black Sabbath used to be a bluesy band called Earth. When they became Black Sabbath and played this song at a show, all the Earth fans were freaking out because it was so dark and heavy. Nice! This is the birth of heavy metal.

Not only did Sabbath "invent" Metal but while they were at it, they also invented Doom Metal! :D

[antonballard]

The song is about an evil book in Latin that Ozzy gave Geezer Butler their bass player to help him with any scary ideas - well after he gave the book to Geezer that night he woke up and saw this figure in black at the foot of his bed pointing at him - and this is what the bass player wrote- oh and Geezer threw the book away after his encounter ' bless you both

[nathansavage]

The trance is the tritone, which was "banned" in the medieval era for being evil, or said to summon the devil. The lyrics are about bassist Geezer Butler seeing a black figure above an occult book given to him by Ozzy.

[phins]

That "trance" you feel is the minor key that the song is written. The key if E Minor does a trick inside a person's head. It activates a primal place deep down inside! Lots of rock songs are written in a minor key

[AndyMmusic]

The riff in this song is based on a tritone, traditionally known as the Devil's interval!

And the whole idea behind Black Sabbath was to create the musical equivalent of a horror movie.

Brad "This song is in slow motion". All of the Sabbath fans...just wait a little longer... Great reaction guys, a genuine classic song and that word is overused, not for this one. Really enjoying your reactions and warming to Brad's considered style, honest thoughts on what he feels which is what we want. Lex never disappoints, always some fantastic statement from deep within her imagination!

[Boatzilla]

Brad: "What is going on?"
Lex: "Music."

[Terminxman]

This came out in 1970, when the beatles were still at the top of the charts, imagine that, and then you hear this.

[Alewifes_Husband]

The mental images Lex comes up with are simply astounding sometimes. Just like, wow I can't believe anyone thought of that! But it's still almost always appropriate!

[devildriver]

Imagine writing this type of song in '69? What a classic piece.

[twisted]

Black Sabbath was a Boris Karloff film. That is where the band got their name and inspiration for the song. The guitar player Tony Iommi lost two of his finger tips in a accident at work before him and Burt Ward (drummer) put this band together.

[paulsharkey]

This was definitely the beginning of heavy metal. Black Sabbath was amazing.

Black Sabbath was gotten from the Movie Black Sabbath starring Christopher Lee. Black Sabbath created heavy metal. Years later Christopher Lee started his own heavy metal band and claimed the band Black Sabbath inspired him to do so. Homage for a homage.
