"Blow On the Jug." The story is that Sabbath played a gig with the opening act being just a guy blowing on a jug. They were very impressed and when they were recording the Sabotage album, Bill and Ozzy just started jamming on a song they made up on the spot. The engineer recorded it and slipped it in at the end. That's Bill on the piano.

Munjo Jerry British rock band. In the Summertime.

@remcohoman1011 11 месяцев назад

that was on the first Summerjam..and the crowd went bonkers when Mungo Jerry was playing In the Summertime,,, with one of the bandmembers blowing in a jug for that typical sound. Not their opening act, but just one of the acts that got to play before them. Black Sabbath thought is was some sort of competition, and thought it was weird that a band blowing on jugs got the crowd wild.

It was an electric jug. Pretty strange.

@johnecker4217 Год назад

Hi Andrew, that ending part on the writ is called (BLOW ON THE JUG) that is OZZY & BILL WARD just drunk & screwing around on the piano ,I've read somewhere that Ozzy & BILL where best of friends and drinking buddies and one of the producers was in the studio and heard them messing around so he decided to hit the record button and happened to catch this little ditti and put it on the album (just like the Beatles did with It's Her Majesty on the Abby Road Album)

"Technical Ecstasy" & "Never Say Die" don't get the credit they both deserve- after "Sabotage" they really had to struggle in order to keep coming up with fresh musical ideas. It ain't easy by a long shot : great songs don't grow on trees !!!

Black Sabbath: biggest, best, most influential band in the history of Rock and Heavy Metal. Mainly for their sacred albums from the 70s. In addition to the exceptional records with Dio, Ian Gillan, Glenn Hughes, Tony Martin.

Best vocal performance of Ozzy's career, hands down. Definitely a Top 5 Sabbath song, for me, and far and away my favorite Sab album. So happy you finally got to this one. Loved how much you got into the track. Sabbath Bloody Sabbath is waiting for you. You will not be disappointed.

@nexus_of_a_crisis Год назад

This is exactly what I said to some friends recently, because this is personal; Sabbath were being ripped off by TWO sets of lawyers and Ozzy was ANGRY, evident on this and 'Megalomania'.

Was going to comment about it being Ozzy’s best vocal performance but I’ll just agree with your comment. Fantastic album by my favourite has to go to Sabbath Bloody Sabbath, the first album I ever bought with money saved from delivering newspapers as a very young lad.

This morning I put "Technical Ecstacy" (the album subsequent to Sabotage) on the turntable for the first time in ages, and was pretty much stunned by Geezer's bass. This is an album I bought on the day it was released and did play quite often despite its rather bright and sibilant production. However, with some major recent upgrades to the system (around £4k on the phono stage and amps) the detail is flooding out now. All of the albums are being revisited 😄 Definitely worth you checking a few tracks.

@nodaysback1 Год назад

Dude... The Writ?? *This channel Rules!* Edit: Song is about them getting ripped off by their manager or the record company, I forget.. But yeah, they were pissed.. You made the Soundgarden comparison... They made Slaves And Bulldozers, which has a similar premise ;) Edit-Edit: That was Geezer who's clothes you were admiring loll That's Blow On A Jug! Ward on piano and Ozzy singing. The background of the song was they played at a weekend festival and all the bands that day including Sabbath, Free, and Ginger Baker's solo band got upstaged by Mungo Jerry and his Jug Band. The crowd went crazy for the jug playing in his song "In The Summertime," and Mungo's band stole the whole show.. The other bands espec sabbath were all perplexed at how they got smoked by a Jug Band?? Ozzy and Ward made a little ditty about it.

@GregMcNeish Год назад

Singer here. Yes, that was Ozzy doubling his vocal an octave lower. I believe this album was the first time he did it (it actually was in Megalomania, too), and it became a trick he leaned heavily into during his solo career, especially as he aged. Adds so much depth to the sound.

@FamilleTraub Год назад

I've been told (by another Sabbath diehard/music engineer) that the doubled vocal is just Ozzy with the tape slowed down to make it lower..

@GregMcNeish Год назад

@@FamilleTraub Slowing the tape like that also makes it play back at half the speed. Modern technology can drop the pitch like that without affecting the BPM, but mid-70s tech wasn't capable of that, at least not with something as intricate as vocals. Varying tape speed was used back then, but typically what you'd do is set the tape faster or slower and record a take to that backing track. Then when you brought the speed back to normal you'd have a perfectly synced track that would be pitch shifted. To do that on this song, you'd need Ozzy to sing twice as fast as normal, so you could speed it up and have him an octave lower. That's a big ask. So, I would be surprised if it were anything other than him just singing down the octave, which is totally in his range.

@mikeg.4211 Год назад

Great reaction as always, Andrew! This is a great song, aimed at their ex-manager who was embroiled in lawsuits with the band at the time (hence the title of "The Writ"; a reference to being served with legal papers) over ripping off the band. The key lyric here is "Of all the promises that never came true you're gonna get what is coming to you." More important than anything else, though, is that Tony Iommi is the tough guy sitting down!! The guy standing up dressed up is Geezer! "Blow on a Jug" was originally not intended to be on the album, but was added as a bit of sarcastic fun after being recorded with Bill and Ozzy screwing around. At a 1970 festival, Sabbath, Free and Traffic were all upstaged by Mungo Jerry literally blowing on jugs, so this is a joking song about that, haha! I'm sure the bass effect is at least a wahwah, probably supplemented by something like a flanger or a phaser.

I already was listening to Sabbath when I was 15 years old but.. I was 19 years old when I first listened to this album(the original vinyl owned by my friend's dad). This was early 90's. and I just couldn't believe what I was hearing. I was like "Wait!!... Are you telling me that Symptom of The Universe was written and recorded in 1975???!! You gotta be kidding me!!". Still to this day I feel like this album is one of those where time stands still. It never gets old. Same thing with Paranoid. Those albums are Ageless. A lot of musicians, music historians and critics claim that Sabotage is the first ever Prog Metal Album. And I have to agree.

Andrew, you really need to give Deep Purple (and Ian Paice) a good solid listen, as well. I guarantee you'll come to the same conclusion you came with regards to Bill Ward. I know you've reacted to a couple of their songs and some covers of their songs, but there's a WHOLE lot more to explore from their catalogue. Just as Sabbath is the precursor to the heavier sub-genres of metal, so is Deep Purple the precursor to metal's more melodic sub-genres.

@terrylandess6072 Год назад

At my age, discovery of hard rock led me to regard Purple as one of the '3' alongside Sabbath and Zeppelin. I still remember 1st time hearing Ian Paice's single kick speed during his solo on MULE from the Made in Japan live album. I should add ZZ Top soon after . . . .

It's so good to see that you are getting the Sabbath bug. I first heard them in '77 and have been one of my 2 favourite bands (with Jethro Tull) since that time. They really do get under the skin - 4 individuals whom together just produced musical magic for 8 marvellous years. One of my lifetime ambitions was to see the fab foursome perform together, but had given up by the early nineties. So you can imagine my joy when they reformed for the two Reunion concerts in 1999 @ Birmingham NEC!!! I went to both nights. I was worried how Bill would do because of his health problems, but I needn't have worried. They were SUPERB. I haven't seen any of the various other 'farewell' gigs since then & I'm not interested unless Bill Ward returns to the drumkit. Thanks again for the reactions.

You pretty much nailed it. Sabbath was dealing with a lot of legal issues with their former manager at the time of this albums creation, and I believe had to record this album entirely at night while they spent their days in court. That's why you can both hear and feel the passion and anger both in the bands playing and Ozzy's singing. They were all pretty pissed about the situation and felt like they were being well... Sabotaged, hence the name of the album. Speaking of Ozzy's singing, this album has THE best vocal performances of his entire career. The song is essentially an attack on their former managed and lyrically this might be my favorite Sabbath track. "Rob the dead, they don't feel a thing, leave the living for another day" is such a good line. God I love this album.

Bass is through a wah-wah pedal. You were pointing to Terry Butler regarding dress code.

@chriszusi7287 Год назад

Definitely Ozzy's high point as a vocalist. I had heard that Bill was actually threatened to be kicked out of the band while they were recording Sabotage - he, like all of them, was so out of his mind on coke that he had a hard time restraining himself on a lot of the mid tempo straight forward parts, he basically was throwing drum solos into every song and speeding up the tempos. In any event, probably their creative height as a band.

@zdenkonouzovsky6947 Год назад

Ozzy sang perfectly for early Sabbath. He was definitely not the technically best singer, but the work with his voice he was able to put in was brilliant and he actually had decent vocal range. Same goes for his solo career.

@richardfairlamb9728 Год назад

I don’t really understand what you mean when you say he’s not technically the best singer, compared to what? Ozzy’s a phenomenal singer. Check out the Paris live performances. Who wants to hear an opera singer? Not me. Ozzy’s distinctive and original.

@zdenkonouzovsky6947 Год назад

I mean compared to Dio or Gillan for example. I meant his vocal technique might not be perfect. And yes indeed he was a very unique singer.

@richardfairlamb9728 Год назад

I get you but I think it’s more that he’s not as conventional as those two but when you listen to early Sabbath and the peak of Ozzy’s vocals on Sabbath Bloody Sabbath, his vocals and range are phenomenal, so I would argue he’s just as great technically. He’s also superb at the eerie Ballads with Sabbath, showing his amazing range.

@mr.brenman2132 Год назад

@@richardfairlamb9728 You're absolutely correct. I'd rather listen to Ozzy then any "classically trained" singer he thinks is good. Ozzy is very passionate with great melodies. I guess OP doesn't hold soulful and bluesy singers in high regard. That takes technique.

@mr.brenman2132 Год назад

@@zdenkonouzovsky6947 I prefer Ozzy to Dio and Gillian. I like how Ozzy sounds more then Dio and I think Gillian is a bit overrated. If not a lot overrated.

@edwardsmith6609 Год назад

Geezer was known to use a Tycobrahe Parapedal, as did Iommi. I've often wondered if they flipped the pedal backwards when playing it.

@kasperkjrsgaard1447 Год назад

“Blow on a jug” Ozzy and Bill being on their way to another planet - sort of. “Sabotage” were Sabbath at their peak. The parameter from where other hard rock bands are measured.

@jpman6667 Год назад

The Bass effect in the opening back in my day could be duplicated by a stomp pedal called bassballs. I saved up and bought one just for this song. It was awesome.

@GregMcNeish Год назад

"Blow on a Jug" was Bill Ward just screwing around on the piano in the studio between takes. This was the end of the album, so that was a "secret track". I can't confirm this, but I heard that it was poking fun at the skiffle band Mungo Jerry ("In The Summertime") who they'd been on a festival bill with (possible Cal Jam). Just your cliche "they're popular but they're not REAL musicians."

@Ben_Ventura Год назад

Love The Writ, but a favor of mine is Swinging The Chain… I think Bill is on Lead Vocal on that one as well.

@mitchdNUFC Год назад

I'm pretty sure the lyrics are directed toward the former record label and management of the band in the earlier days where they screwed them over. Basically where the original 4 didn't even own the rights to the first 6 albums, paid pennies for the music they created, and paid pennies for tours they did. Eventually, they had to pay the former manager off which I'm sure was a vast amount of money leaving them with next to nothing.

It's blow on a jug. Bill on piano w Ozzy singing . It was something they used to do stoned for fun. Wasn't originally part of the tune. The engineer recorded them doing it and added it in without their knowing. Bill refers to that part as "that fucking song".

@darrylhinko5568 Год назад

Been loving your reactions, I have been a Sabbath fan since like 81, 12 years old for me, I am also a bass player, and always thought it was just a phaser that was on the bass. A good friend, and much more experienced musician, informed me that it is a parapedal. They are no longer made but it was a cross between a wah and a phaser. I was part right haha. I checked it out on RU-vid videos and it sounds right to me.

Section starting at 8:49 sounds a lot like 'Only Women Bleed' from Alice Cooper's 'Welcome To My Nightmare' album. Both Sabotage and Welcome To My Nightmare were released in 1975. Genius struck twice.

Bought a cheap Sabbath best of,I think it was called The Collection part 2,on Castle records in 1985 when I was 15. When this song hit my ears there was a definite sea change in my listening habits. Up until then it was all about KISS. Sabbath and The Writ in particular did something to my brain that I've thankfully never recovered from. I'd heard Sabbath before from my older brother but didnt take much notice. Its as if I have a BS and AS to me ( Before Sabbath vs After Sabbath ). It was really cool seeing your first reaction to this song. I've hipped quite a few people to the song over the years and its always cool to see minds blown. Thanks for the walk down memory lane. Cheers

1975. ..Sabotage Tour. My first concert. On Ozzy's Birthday. December 3rd . Madison Square Garden. Aerosmith opened and I didn't even know who they were.

@richardhincemon Год назад

1975 Dec 7th Greensboro NC with Ruby Starr and Savoy Brown opened up for Sabbath. Tony Iommi played a brilliant guitar solo that evening even though they were not happy about the way Savoy Brown were booed by the restless crowd waiting for Sabbath .

@billwhitman4125 Год назад

The great "Blow on the Jug" is Bill Ward singing and playing piano. Apparently they're mocking a guy who used to blow into some empty bottles at concerts and people thought it was amazing. They didn't know that it was recorded and never meant for it to be released.

They’re first Six albums are amazing! It’s hard to understand when you’re a young teen and Black Sabbath hit the scene bro there was nothing like it period! The last two albums before Ozzy left we’re not as good I believe because times and music were changing it was the disco era🤢🤢🤮

@ShreveportJoe Год назад

The anguished screams at the beginning are the end of “Am I Going Insane?”… songs run together on all of “Sabotage”. And yes, there are a ton of overdubs on “Sabotage” and “The Writ” is an obvious example. I interviewed Ozzy in 1979, after he’d been booted from Sabbath, but before he’d discovered Randy Rhodes for his solo band. Ozzy said the recording process had become unbearably long with endless overdubs, for which he blamed Tony. Ozzy just wanted to get on with it and tour… and, he considered “Sabotage” the beginning of the end, as far as his tolerance of studio work went with Sabbath.

@ccrider77 Год назад

One of my favorite songs from one of my favorite Sabbath albums. I believe the effect on the bass is an envelope follower. The dynamics and attack of the bass triggers it and it could be used with either a phase shifter or flanger. I love how the low level of the bass forces the listener to turn up the volume, only to get hit with a wall of sound, when the band kicks in.
