Sabotage is the sixth studio album by metal pioneers Black Sabbath, released in 1975. It was recorded in the midst of litigation with their former manager Patrick Meehan. The stress that resulted from the band's ongoing legal woes infiltrated the recording process, inspiring the album's title.
This documentary looks at all the drama surrounding the band at the time and how shady managers took advantage of Sabbath's kind nature. The video also examines every song on the album and offers up unearthed facts some fans may have never known.

That Rolling Stone quote says it perfectly, “Sabotage is not only Black Sabbath’s best record since Paranoid, it might be their best ever.” Most of the time I think Sabotage is my favorite. Then I’ll listen to Paranoid again and I’m not sure anymore. Either way, it’s criminal that this is only their 7th best selling album. And now finding out that this was the first one they actually started receiving royalties for only solidifies the fact that everyone should go out and buy it. Incredible video.

@robiandolo 9 месяцев назад

@@marsazorean62 you’re only partially correct on that. A band’s sales revenue justifies funding for the next album. So if you’re making a record that involves a lot of studio work your production costs go up. It could effect the product but you could also have the scenario where you make a masterpiece record but few hear it. When people rate it year’s down the road they’ll look up stats to make an argument. Record sales become a measure of success. So yes snd no!

Massive Sabbath fan here who finds all their stuff from 'Sabbath Bloody Sabbath' onwards as their best work. Yes, even Technical Ecstasy and Never Say Die! (both severely underrated). That's not to say the first four were mediocre in any way, they just hadn't peaked in their development.

@BaldPerspective 2 года назад

Paranoid was my #1 for years. But now, I'd have to give it to SBS. Iommi overcoming writer's block with this record is a huge accomplishment. It also really just sounds like the natural next step for them at the time. My ranking of the Ozzy-Sabbath albums ... 1.) Sabbath Bloody Sabbath 2.) Sabotage 3.) Master of Reality 4.) Paranoid 5.) Technical Ecstasy 6.) BLACK SABBATH 7.) Vol. 4 8.) 13 9.) The End: Live in Birmingham 10.) Reunion 11.) Live ... Gathered in Their Masses I'm not a boomer & I haven't heard Never Say Die or Past Lives all the way through. I've heard bits & pieces from all of them, though, & think Past Lives would be absolutely killer, though. Picking which one I like more between Sabotage & MoR kinda hurts lol, & honestly changes a bit for me, from time to time. I'd also say, my top four of theirs are easily S-Tier albums imo. Lastly, I don't want it to seem like I think those live albums I have heard are bad, though. I absolutely adore Live Evil & think "War Pigs" from Past Lives is spectacular, but the guys don't really do much different from the original studio versions of those songs; like I heard Zakk Wylde once say, "If you want the record, just listen to the record. We do things differently live." That's the charm of live music, for me, beyond giving the songs a completely different energy, like most classic live albums.

@BaldPerspective 2 года назад

@@pleasepermitmetospeakohgre1504 Technical Ecstasy is hard underrated. I understand why regular hardcore fans dislike it, but I'm a music guy in general, not just a metal dude. It stands out in their discography for obvious reasons, but I think it also stands out because they put a helluva lot of effort into it & def knew what they were doing. If that were an album by Phish or Umphrey's McGee, their fans would either love it or see it as business as usual. Haven't heard all of Never Say Die! I personally think Sabbath peaked at Sabbath Bloody Sabbath in their original lineup. Heaven & Hell is another huge peak for them & think it's their second-best album overall, although I used to go back & forth on those two; SBS is my #1.

Knocking on your door here at 56 yrs. old, and I also still enjoy the mighty Sabbath every chance I get. I've heard it said that Sabbath actually created metal, and I kind of agree. Never got to see him but, Ozzy went from rock god singer/writer in Sabbath with huge records and great songs, to an even bigger "solo" act with huge records and great songs. That's why I have dozens of "favorite songs" from the entire Ozzy archive.... Rock on brother!

The first Sabbath "album" I ever bought was the compilation "We Sold Our Soul for Rock and Roll". It was a monumental moment for me because even though I'd never heard the band before (apart from Paranoid the song on the radio), I knew instantly that it was THE sound that had been missing from my life. These days though, it makes me so angry that the band didn't get a penny from it and my money went straight into the corrupt management's pockets.

It was also the first Black Sabbath album I bought. If I remember correctly, the copy that I bought was under the NEMS label. It was a somewhat crappy cassette that didn't seem to rewind or fast-foward very well. It also had the song "Wicked World" on it, which isn't on the WB version of "We Sold Our Soul...". Also I think N.I.B was on side 2 instead of side 1. I also saw a version of "Paranoid" on NEMS. I'm glad I had the WB version.

@DB-kl9bp 2 года назад

@perpetualmotion357 2 года назад

@@DB-kl9bp I think it might be the most underrated album in rock/metal history. Sabbath are my favorite band and it's without a doubt their most overlooked effort. I've heard people say that they like their first 3, others prefer the Dio years, some even saying their first 5 etc..Interviews with Iommi throughout the years have literally went through each album and on two occasions I've seen them go from Sabbath Bloody Sabbath and then jump to Technical Ecstasy. In fact, Iommi did two recent interviews with Gibson guitars and Guitar World where they completely left out Sabotage. This would be like talking about Led Zeppelin and never mentioning Physical Graffiti. Sabotage has it all. Some of Iommi's heaviest riffs while they reached their progressive pinnacle and it has without a doubt Ozzy's best vocals in his entire 50 year career. Probably the most iconic singer in metal history and this is his crowned jewel. My two favorite Sabbath albums are Sabotage and Vol_4. The production is also the best sounding album they've ever made. Everything is crystal clear and loud. I've never gotten tired of listening to this record. When I first discovered it I was completely blown away given the fact that the most famous song on it is Symptoms and even that isn't super well known compared to their earlier songs. Sabbath have finally got their just due's these past 20 years but this album has surprisingly still remained in the shadows for a lot of people. When talking Black Sabbath I always make it a point to bring this one up because so many people think what's been played on the radio apparently sums this band up and that's so far off the mark. For me, the material on Vol_4-SBS-Sabotage is just as strong or stronger than what's on their S/T-Paranoid-Master of Reality. They matured musically while still keeping their edge. The wheels started to come off with Technical imo. Sabotage is when the band reached its pinnacle before burning out.

@skylark8828 2 года назад

@@perpetualmotion357 I remember seeing in interview with Ozzy saying he didn't like the material that Tony was coming up with for Technical Ecstasy and Never Say Die, it was losing the heaviness of the early albums and moving towards jazz and even pop. The Dio albums are both great but it doesn't sound like the same band, Duo's influence is so strong.

@perpetualmotion357 2 года назад

@@skylark8828 Tony started to get heavily influenced by jazz at the time. Kind of like how that first record has heavy blues elements and wasn't quite where the band would be discovering that Sabbath sound especially on Master of Reality, even Paranoid. No two Sabbath records sound the same. That 70's era, the first 6 have that unique ability to have a sound which is different from the previous but still great and still sounds like Sabbath. Sabotage is just a mean and angry record and the bands emotions are coming through big time. It was also pointed out that Ozzy wrote lyrics for The Writ. You'll hear him get a lot of hate for not writing the lyrics on his albums but that's pretty ironic that in my opinion The Writ has some of the best lyrics the band ever did, they were brilliant. Ozzy coming up with the melodies is just as important as everything else when it comes to Sabbath and his own band so I never hopped on that hate train. I also agree about the Dio years. Imo Sabbath just sounded like a real heavy version of Dio. That's not the case with Ozzy. Ozzy on his own sounds nothing like Black Sabbath, especially the Rhoads, Lee and the first 2 Zakk Wylde albums..NRFTW and NMT. He'd later get heavier and heavier but I always preferred Ozzy's brighter rock/metal songs like in the style of Flying High Again and I Don't Know. Rhoads was perfect for Ozzy after Sabbath. I'm glad Oz went on his own and we got those albums especially after Technical and Never Say Die. It wasn't the same. I like Ozzy best in Sabbath but his first two solo records blow his last two with Sabbath out of the water imo.

@rolandconnor575 2 года назад

As a 20 year old kid in 1975, I met Ozzy and was invited up to his hotel room for a personal account of what his life was like at that time. Later invited to join the band for the rest of the Sabatoge tour in which Mark Forster, their personnel director, became a close friend. I have many inside takes on what really happened during that time including when Ozzy left the band and was asked to rejoin it, but the biggest moment was the day I was with him and he told me he would have a solo career of his own and already had the name for the band "Blizzard of Oz", July 25, 1975. I have this own cassette tape. My forthcoming book "Stand Out From the Herd" will include details of my travels with Sabbath. And yes, Sabatoge was Ozzy's finest performance.

@@aschule5684 Hey thanks for this reply. I can tell you relate to that time period. Yes their management and lawyers ripped them off early on.. they tried to make a go at producing on their own but was too much for them. Mark Forster was there "personnel manager" and was detached from what others had done to them. Mark was highly respected in Britain's music circles and knew everyone. A reason why i was able to meet Ritchie Blackmore in the late 70s and Purple's reunion tours in the 80s. By 1992 when Mark passed, things were radically different but I had one last meeting with Ozzy in his dressing room before a show in Atlanta in 1991. His personal assistant Tony Dennis (you may have heard of) knew Mark even though Tony was much younger and I was able;e to see Oz though by then you could see his body trembling from either Parkinson's or just daily medication.
