When today’s legendary band came out, they were unlike anything anyone had ever heard back in… Black Sabbath! Their music was hardcore and at first, they almost called themselves a three-word title that started with Polka, thankfully they saw a horror movie around that time and took its much cooler title as their name.. Their first record was destroyed by the critics but out of nowhere fans bought a million copies of it and they readied their sophomore record. Needing only 3 more minutes of music to finish it, the band created a track that inadvertently affected the future of rock & roll. Paranoid would change everything. It was the unfolding of a heavy metal anthem was it inspired by dark mysticism or the highs and lows of drug indulgence….find out next on Professor of Rock.

“Paranoid,”… the frenetic charging anthem by the trailblazing British band Black Sabbath, is one of the most influential songs that ushered in the heavy metal movement, and arguably, the track that birthed the sub-genre of Thrash Metal.
Guitarist Tony Iommi & drummer Bill Ward played together in a defunct band named Mythology. The pair wanted to form a heavy blues rock band, and enlisted vocalist Ozzy Osbourne, and bassist Geezer Butler who were refugees from the group Rare Breed.
The first name they came up with for the new band was Polka Tulk Blues (tulk rhymes with sulk) Thankfully, that moniker did not stick, and they eventually decided on Black Sabbath, after witnessing a crowded matinee screening of the Boris Karloff movie of the same name. The group landed a small advance from Vertigo Records and recorded their self-titled debut album the same day they got the money.
Black Sabbath, the album, was released in early 1970- featuring the lead single “Evil Woman."The critics HATED Black Sabbath’s debut record, but the record-buying public LOVED it. The heavy blues-influenced arrangements and dark, provocative lyrics attracted an immediate following for Sabbath around the world.
After defying critics, and selling over a million units with their introductory record, expectations were significantly higher for the band’s sophomore offering: Much of the material for the 2nd LP was written during the same period that songs were recorded for Black Sabbath’s debut, including a track originally titled “The Paranoid."
“The Paranoid" was recorded in less than 3 days- with the band performing live in the studio. The band dropped “the” and changed the title of the song to “Paranoid,” not because of an intended lyrical hook. The fact is, the word “paranoid” is never used in the song. “Paranoid” was named for its dark messaging- the nexus to the sorcery of Black Sabbath. The band wanted to name the second album War Pigs- referring to the title of one of the most popular cuts on the record, but the label felt the title was “too offensive” and convinced the band to go with Paranoid.

In 1973 my older cousin played Black Sabbath Vol 4 for me. It was the first real rock music I had ever heard. I was a 12 year old teenybopper listening to bubble gum music. Hearing Black Sabbath for the first time changed my life! Bubble gum music was no longer sufficient. I have been a rock fan ever since. That same year I got my first guitar and became a professional musician. I went to college for music with guitar as my principal instrument. Thank you, Cousin Joel, in Bennettsville, SC!!

When I was touring, we did a lot of covers, and Paranoid was one of the songs we saved for the end of the 3rd set. It packed the floor, everyone was just givin' er, just rockin' out like hell and headbanging. It gave myself and my other guitar player an opportunity to just be crazy, we were wireless, so we ran around the stage trading off dueling solos, we shot totally from the hip, just free form solos, and we'd just nod at each other when we wanted to shift roles. Then we'd give the nod to just do the final 2 bars together in unison, it was pretty cool, and it was really fun. I think it was fun for both the band, and the fans. It's one of those songs that everyone likes, and it is also so versatile when you want to play it live. It's just fun, and simple. I love it still to this day. Rock on folks!

I came to know Sabbath through a greatest hits album when I was 18-19 and it changed my life forever. Here I am now, at 39, watching this video. Sabbath is unique, the atmospheric sound they were able to create back then with basically no technology, no choirs, no orchestra, etc; is outstanding. Bands need all they can get to replicate that these days. I'll probably listen to Sabbath till the day I die.

Black Sabbath is such a breakthrough band, with their unique and heavy sound. I love them. I've gone to Sabbath concerts both with Ozzy and with Dio, and I've seen Ozzy solo countless times. I remember once working in an office over the weekend to catch up on some work, and since no one else was there I cranked up the Sabbath hits album, We Sold Our Soul for Rock n' Roll. Another co-worker came in and I told him about how Sabbath had a lot of blues influences. He thought I was crazy, and thought Sabbath was loud noise. I just felt sorry for him that his musical taste were so limited. Long live Black Sabbath!!

What any human would not do to once in their life write a riff like Paranoid! Two and half minutes of metal perfection. This song changed my life for listening to heavier music and guitar music. It's a top 3 favorite song of all time for me and one of the best headbang songs ever. Tony Iommi is the untouchable RIFF LORD of rock, metal, and music. The only who competes with him at that is Jimmy Page and none else. Ozzy is so perfect for Sabbath, Geezer had awesome lyrics on top of being one of the greatest bassists ever. One of the best rhythm sections ever in a band with the jazzy tom drumming of Ward. I can't sing enough praises of this incredible band and song.

Black Sabbath was a musical staple with the circle of friends I had in junior high. Lots of memories hanging out in a friend's basement, whose parents didn't seem to mind us cranking up the volume. I could only have wished mine were that cool. The band was never the same without Ozzy, and his signature vocals. I bought most of his solo albums, and even the later reunion record, 13, when it came out. And it always surprised me later, as I grew up, that you could understand his lyrics so clearly when he sang, but you could barely comprehend what the hell he was saying when he talked. 🤷‍♂😂🤣

@-yeme-

Sabbath are one of my favourite bands. There's a good argument to be made that their debut is the single most influential album of all time, spawning entire genres and subgenres. Rob Zombie once said "Every cool riff has already been written by Black Sabbath. You're either playing it faster or slower or backwards, but they wrote it first." Also, Ozzy and Tony get all the attention but Sabbath's rhythm section is one of the finest in rock history. Bill Ward is a fantastic drummer, consistently inventive, you can listen to long Sabbath tracks and he will hardly repeat a fill. He generated such power and variety from a small kit, and his funk and jazz background really shines through and is a big part of why Sabbath sound so distinctive within the rock canon. The Ward/Butler grooves overlaid by Iommi's heavy precision make for a unique blend. That being said Ive always felt that Paranoid is one of their weaker tracks, lacking the depth, and melodic and rhythmic nuance, that was such a hallmark of early Sabbath. Also I never knew that they picked Evil Woman as the first single from the debut lol. You'd think The Wizard or NIB would have been a better choice.

Sabbath is defenately misunderstood as most people assume they are heavy metal and thrash. I guess because of the popularity of those songs but if you dive into any sabbath album you will find trippy love ballads, psychadelic materpieces and quiet heartbreak songs one of my favorites is solitude. The dark sadness of that songs somehow fill me up with joy and happieness, very odd. They are way way more than just a metal band and for me they are the best rock group of all time.

In any case we were at his house and there was an 8-track player with their sound system. War Pigs was just coming to end when his mother was passing by as the music speed ramps up. She's thinking the tape was being 'eaten' up by player and trying to figure what to do!!! I told her 'Don't worry Mrs. W... that's how the song ends'.

Ozzy was gifted with a strangeness that helped to give him an interesting vocal style and sound that is unmistakable. Along with that amazing voice came an ear that kept his tone weirdly in key all the while bordering right on edge of breakup. Throw in Geezers depth of lyrical story telling and finally pair that with the amazing and unique guitar talent possessed by Iommi and that granted us access to the holy grail of metal. We are not worthy 🤘🤘🤘🤘

In the summer of 1966 I was 9 years old. That means I was just the right age to appreciate all the great new albums that were coming out in '68, '69, '70, I was right there experiencing it! I can hardly describe my feelings of excitement as I walked downtown to discover the latest releases. The store was called Shultz's Five & Dime. I practically lived there, poring over all the 45's & albums on their racks. I mean, yes, it is fun to discover new (to you) songs on RU-vid, but not quite the same as being a kid, holding a brand new, sealed in plastic, wrapped album in your hands for the very first time. I studied/read every word, on them as if they were some kind of lost egyptian scroll or something!!! haha I bet the Professor can relate!

My Sabbath story occurred in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. It was the Black and Blue tour with BOC. BOC absolutely rocked their set whipping the crowd into a frenzy! Sabbath came out and was killing it. Sometime in the second or third song somebody threw a pint bottle at the stage. Hit Geezer in the head, they stopped the show and walked off. After what seemed an eternity, someone walked on stage and admonished the audience for throwing stuff at the stage, the show was over! It caused a riot in the Milwaukee Arena which turned into mayhem! Look it up, it would be a great story!

Sabbath was so far away from where I was musically in my teen years, to the eternal gratitude of my parents, I'm sure. Sabbath and Iron Maiden were definitely dangerous territory-- family intervention sort of music. I owe a friend for helping me expand my palette into classic metal in the '00s after college and this was the album he used to do it. I've since added the quadrophonic DVD version of this album to my growing collection of what I feel are almost necessary 'desert island' albums and it is majestic. In fact, I'm gonna put it on now right to celebrate how epic it truly is. Have a great holiday weekend, Adam and everyone here in the comments at POR. Hope it rocks out wherever you spend it!

I listened to Black Sabbath (first album) a million times and never recall hearing Evil Woman on it. Of course, after a quick investigation, the answer is simply that the North American version of the album didn't have that song (which made me feel relieved to know I wasn't losing my mind). It was only on the British release that the song was there, whereas the North American album adds a song, A Bit Of Finger, which is part of the classic and super cool medley A Bit Of Finger/Sleeping Village/Warning which really all ties together in a 14 minute jam . I'm biased, but I prefer the North American album BY FAR. The first Sabbath album is still fresh, and it must have really been something in 1970. I loved the first 6 Sabbath albums and proceed to hate the next 115 Sabbath albums (with 36 different singers) that followed.

"Paranoid" is such a great album. It is timeless, to use a cliché, and its sound was way ahead of its time. I play this album all the time, "cover to cover". My favorite Sabbath album is probably "Master of Reality", mainly because the bass is so heavy. My favorite Sabbath song, "Into the Void", is off this album. The bass is so heavy on this tune that you can't upload it, you can only download it. It is so heavy that it has its own gravitational pull. And to be honest, I don't really trust anyone who doesn't own (or at one time owned) the first 6 Sabbath albums and "Heaven and Hell" and Zep's studio albums.

Adam, at 15:13, you say, "The hands of Iommi gave us the raging sound of Heavy Metal." It is interesting to note that hands of Iommi include prosthetic finger tips. He got the ends of two fingers on his right hand cut off in a sheet metal cutting machine when he was 17. Those were his fretboard fingers because he plays left handed. He found he couldn't play on the stumps, so he melted down a plastic bottle and made his own prosthetic tips. This accident is the reason Black Sabbath sounds like it does.

Its the best for guitar teachers to teach your first Metal Song cause everyone knows how it sounds and it teaches you the chord changes, key changes, what a bridge is. Like me, Its an easy one for a kid to pick up and run with and you also learn that Ozzy (and Geezer) wants you to Enjoy Life. Ok, maybe its influenced me, I do write mostly in E and A. It makes everyone want to improvise a solo over, so we do and we learn how to write our own music. Not so bad for a 3 minute time filler

I stumbled into Sabbath by way of Pantera. My only prior exposure to metal was Metallica and (arguably) hybrid bands like Alice in Chains and Soundgarden. Another kid had the Far Beyond Driven CD, which I didn't really like, except for their cover of Planet Caravan. I was looking at the liner notes and they had a kind of defensive comment about liking Sabbath and covering the song, which stuck with me. A few weeks later I'm at home digging through my dad's vinyl and he has Paranoid, I look at the back and see Planet Caravan so obviously I spin the record. Instant obsession. Over the next year or two what little allowance money I had went to Sabbath CDs, the entire catalog up through Forbidden. This band sent me down the metal rabbit hole through the remainder of high school and all through college. Still think the B side of Paranoid is the best side btw.

Love your reviews You're the best rock reviewer I have watched. Paranoid one of my favorite albums growing up. And far as your poll this is probably my favorite heavy metal album of all time. Please keep up the reviews and thank you so much for sharing them with us

Much like you, Adam, I knew Ozzy 1st as a solo artist in the 80s, then discovered Black Sabbath. Also like you, while my mother was indifferent to 'that noise of Ozzy' ( until she found out he bit that bat) she being a strict Christian woman took a stance on Black Sabbath simply because of their name. Luckily for me, she didn't know the difference between the 2 bands, since Ozzy sang for both. I simply couldn't mention the name Black Sabbath! Things she didn't realize was that War Pigs was a protest song, Hand of Doom and Snow Blind told of the dangers of drugs ( just don't mention Sweet Leaf) and later Mr Crowley warned of dabbling with Satanism. As far as my favorite Black Sabbath song, it has to be Symptom of the Universe. Driving guitar, drums fills for days, and Ozzy screaming every line. If that song didn't set a new bar for metal, I don't know what did!

The riff in Paranoid isn't unique, as the Prof says. It's pretty close to the riff in Led Zep's Communication Breakdown.

That’s the era I grew up in and I absolutely hated Black Sabbath There were so many great bands back then, CCR, Doors, Beatles, Stones, Zeppelin. The list is long and Sabbath shouldn’t be on it

Even though I like Sabbath, I always hate it when they're compared to Zeppelin. Not in the same league.
