You really do have to watch the video. The song is heart wrenching as it is but the video hammers it hone even more. Ignore this suggestion if you're vulnerable, it's graphic and triggering for the purpose of snapping people out of apathy about lgbtq kid's suicides
I was 19 when I heard After Forever for the very first time in 1976 and I was surprised to hear Ozzy sound like a preacher, after hearing lyrics such as "My name is Lucifer please take my hand" in the song NIB, which gave me the impression that they were Satan worshipers. They're all Catholic, but I just hope they all will accept Christ as their Lord and Savior before leaving this life.
I know this is an old video but can I just say, I suffer from severe anxiety and disassociation which is super overwhelming and makes day to day life sometimes unbearable. Once I heard you say "to be absent from the body is to be present with the lord" it genuinely resonated with me so deeply that I was reduced to tears. In all transparency, I was an Atheist prior to watching this video and I'm not saying that single particular comment made me a believer, but I have since started attending church on an irregular basis and I'm a member of a fellowship. I have found solace and comfort within. So, thank you, from the bottom of my heart, thank you.
So the singer of this song Billy corgan is a Christian and has made a lot more music in regards to songs with some Christian undertones and iconography in the lyrics . Just in case you guys wanted to go check out more Christian metal that slaps
Whats with Christians and bad language? Does it hurt you delicate ears? Does it corrupt your sinless heart? Christians should be warriors not cristal flowers
Im catholic but I sometimes go through wondering whether there really is a God and why because if i were God i would never allow children to be raped , tortured , cut into pieces. Or die so young from cancer.
Sorry to say, you're not even close..revelation speaks of the world powers, thus the beast, the harlot is babylon the great, empire of false religion....but have fun.....
So glad my parents raised me to appreciate good music. I had a black Sabbath cassette tape that my dad gave me and I wore that thing out. Then when he got a computer that could burn CDs he would sit down with me and my sisters and help us make our own. He's always had a wide selection to pick from
Us of the OG age tried and tried to tell people Black Sabbath was NOT evil but had positive messages in their songs, but many people couldn't get past their name and wouldn't listen........we thought.....oh, well, we tried
I’m just upset you disrespected one of the best solos that Syn’s ever done lol a lot of this album and this song specifically is a lot of metaphors but this is definitely about people regretting their choices and life after the rapture and mankind being their own downfall by greed, war, etc.
I love how every dirt-licking preacher in America considers themself a trained economist and it's always politically right-wing. Since churches cannot obey the law and refrain from reliigous political speech, all churches should have to pay taxes just like businesse do.
@ 3:29 - when you realize everything you were told about Black Sabbath and Ozzy Osbourne in the mainstream was a lie and they're all devout Christians.
Especially for anyone who suffered from severe depression, or suicidal ideation, this song cuts right to the bone. In my case, I’m just glad that box cutter didn’t cut deeper than this song ⚰️⚰️⚰️
problem is the pastor is a 🤡 it's like the whole Christianity vs Catholism. I could never acknowledge the pastor as knowledgeable with such opinions without verbatum from scripture. Literally the whole Isreal an Muslim extremism. Smh edgy 😂 oh goodness gracious you sound like Joel Osteen you are Satan's blood perish foul beast.
