http://blabbermouth.net/news.aspx?mo...sitemID=190224

Oh my God...This was a serious blow. I don't remember reading about any cancer, just some health thing which forced Trevor for a break and that was way back.

Trevor was truly one of the finest heavy rock bassists and musicians ever to have graced on this Earth. I loved his playing in Uriah Heep so much, it was always so important and exhilarating for me...Trevor was definitely one of the greatest bassists ever, a real professional who played with sharp precision, brawny power and yet with a loose fluidity which drove Uriah Heep forward like a tsunami.

My condolences to Trevor's family and friends.

Rest & rock in peace, dear Trevor! Keep unleashing your bass power up there, OK?

The only thing is pure joy, same as films, same as computer games, same as music. If I can drift away into something it's the best feeling in the world.
I'll be riding this world beating coaster this weekend :)
Was just wondering if you guys can recommend any theme parks near you which I may visit one day?

Listened through this haunting song twice when I heard the news, that piano solo really moves me, everything about this song is just so dreamy and magical...

Rest in Peace Ray, and thank you for all the wonderful music! Here's to Ray, play it loud.

Most of them are bootlegs. And many of... Since the day I became a fan of Sabbath, I have listened to many Sabbath live performance in the early days. Most of them are bootlegs. And many of you might agree on this one: the song Black Sabbath is much more brutal when played live in the 70s comparing to the current and the late 90s Ozzy era.

The first factor is Ozzy's voice and his choice of words. Here I'm not talking about when he sings the main lyrics like "What is this that stands before me/This the end my friend" but the parts after the main lyrics when Ozzy yells "Oh no/Oh no no please god help me/no no please no". In the early 70s, Ozzy had a different way of presenting these three parts.

Take the Paris 1970 and the Beat Club video as the examples: Ozzy yells noticeably in a higher pitch. Not only that, but when you compare these performances to Reunion and recent lives, the early 70s performance actually gave you a sense of hopelessness, a feeling that you are really doomed. The choice of words also worth being notice as well, as in live gigs before the band go completely crazy Ozzy yelled "no, no, oh god no" in very high pitch.

The second factor is Bill's drumming. In live gigs(also Beat Club and Paris 1970 as examples), during the verses, Bill didn't drum like an evil orchestra in the album, but simply follow the tempo and mainly hit the snare drum, making it like a march of evil. And when the band starts going crazy after the main riff is over, Bill literally exploded on snare drum and cymbals, and was much louder than in the studio. Sometimes Bill even sounded like playing blast beats! Unfortunately this element is 90% lost nowadays.

To further show how brutal the song can be, well you guys might have heard this one, let me present you Sabbath's live performance at Toronto 1971 (also known as the Wicked Sabbath bootleg). The song starts at around 17:52. Totally worth a listen, as this is the most brutal title track I ever heard. You can clearly hear Bill playing lots of blast beats here.



By the way, I'm actually not sure if these drumming can be called blast beat like in death metal, but since Bill's explosion part is really as brutal as blast beats, I can't think of a better way to describe it. ]]> The Ozzy Era LouiST http://www.black-sabbath.com/vb/showthread.php?39937-The-brutality-of-early-performance-of-Black-Sabbath-s-title-track http://www.black-sabbath.com/vb/showthread.php?39936-Poll-cats-or-dogs&goto=newpost Sun, 19 May 2013 15:00:44 GMT Are we a forum of cat lovers or dog lovers?

I've been meaning to listen to some of the old vinyl records for awhile now. Anyway, I listened to NEVER SAY DIE, MASTER OF REALITY and VOL. 4 in their entirity tonight.

Made me wonder, who else on here still listens to vinyl?

I have to admit, even though I am a big NEVER SAY DIE fan, listening to MASTER OF REALITY immediatly after NSD really showcased that "cold" feel that album has to it. Vinyl doesn't lie. Those records sound like how the recordings are suppose to sound. And of course the sound changes more and more throughout time. ]]> The Ozzy Era axeman_12656 http://www.black-sabbath.com/vb/showthread.php?39933-Who-here-still-listen-to-Sabbath-on-Vinyl http://www.black-sabbath.com/vb/showthread.php?39932-BBC-FOUR-Top-of-the-Pops-1978&goto=newpost Fri, 17 May 2013 23:57:08 GMT Next Thursday (23rd May) at 7:30pm:http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b01skwnt Next Thursday (23rd May) at 7:30pm:http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b01skwnt ]]> The Ozzy Era Ady http://www.black-sabbath.com/vb/showthread.php?39932-BBC-FOUR-Top-of-the-Pops-1978 http://www.black-sabbath.com/vb/showthread.php?39931-Deep-Purple-Vincent-Price&goto=newpost Fri, 17 May 2013 21:56:32 GMT ]]> Other Bands Axe fiend http://www.black-sabbath.com/vb/showthread.php?39931-Deep-Purple-Vincent-Price
