Check out young Ozzy. This is from Black Sabbath Paranoid Album released in the US in January 1971. It was reseased in the UK in September of 1970. I bought the Album in the summer of 1971, I was just 11 years old and it was my first album. This was the begining of a life long love for music.

I thought I was pretty cool back then and was trying to be more like the older kids. I was the first kid at my grade school to grow my hair long. The Principle, Mr Henderson suspended me. My mom was outraged. I remember pulling up in front of the school in her VW bus with flowers all over it and a peace sign in the back window. She took me into the school and gave Mr Henderson a piece of her mind. I remember being embarassed but I also rembemer they changed the dress code because my mom stood up to them. I was different. I was a freak and proud of it. My best friend at the time was listening to the Monkey's and Hermans Hermits. He didn't like my new album. Two summers later I drank my first beer and smoked my first joint. ~ Sgt Rock :rock

The Lyrics

Hand of Doom

What you gonna do
Time's caught up with you
Now you wait your turn
You know there's no return

Change your empty rules
You join the other fools
Turn to something new
Now it's killing you

First it was the bomb, Vietnam napalm
Disillusioning, you push the needle in
From life you escape, reality's black drape
Colours in your mind satisfy your time

Oh you, you know you must be blind
To do something like this
To take the sweet that you don't know
You're giving Death a kiss
Poor little fool now

Your mind is full of pleasure
Your body's looking ill
To you it's shallow leisure
So drop the acid pill
Don't stop to think now

You're having a good time baby
But that won't last
Your mind's all full of things
You're living too fast
Go out, enjoy yourself
Don't bottle it in
You need someone to help you
Stick the needle in, yeah

Now you know the scene
Your skin starts turning green
Your eyes no longer seeing life's reality
Push the needle in
Face death's sickly grin
Holes are in your skin
Caused by deadly pin

Head starts spinning 'round
You fall down to the ground
Feel your body heave
Death hand starts to weave

It's too late to turn
You don't want to learn
Price of life is high
Now you're gonna die
 
Here is one from the first album Black Sabath. The song is called Black Sabath. This video has decent visual and excellent sound quality. ~ Sgt Rock :rock

In 1983 Ian Gillan joined Black Sabbath. Ian was Deep Purple's front man for years. Black Sabbath released Born Again on August 7, 1983. I was living in Nurnberg Germany at the time. This is a cut called Disturbing the Priest. Its very disturbing. I couldn't play it around my kids when thy were young. It scared the hell out of them. ~ Sgt Rock

Back in 1980 Ozzman was off doing his own thing and Ronnie James Dio replaced him on Heaven and Hell. Check out the title track and the pic of Dio.
