After posting my 1970s guitar riffs video, I received many comments from people saying I should have featured more Black Sabbath and they were probably right. Here are 20 top riffs from one of the greatest riff-makers ever, Tony Iommi, concentrating on the Ozzy Osbourne years in the '70s.

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. »

I want to say that bill ward doesn’t get enough love. He’s hands down my favorite drummer of all time. He makes the iconic riffs of sabbath come to life in a way that encodes them into your brain forever.

@timsahkelebek5901 3 года назад

Yes, the the trippiness, hynoptic style of Sabbath is because of Ward's genius.

@ElianaBlock 3 года назад

not only that but he plays jazz and swing beats and makes them metal. he gets so slept on and he’s truly one of the greatest drummers.

@WilliamBarryRoberts 2 года назад

@skankhunt5360 7 месяцев назад

You have got to love his style of drumming the aspects in planet caravan make it seem dreamy. But in songs like killing yourself to live his drumming makes an insane difference to make the song absolutely perfect.

@FockeWulfFW200 2 дня назад

He is, by far, the most important member of the band. People keep saying that is Ozzy or Iommi just because being the frontman or playing an electric guitar in the 70s was what get you the hot chicks and made you look cool. But the real deal here is Bill Ward. Just look at any black sabbath cover where the youtuber playing with a backing track to prove my point. No matter how well the guy/girl plays the guitar, it sounds like utter shit. Sounds like utter shit because there's no Bill Ward in there.

@kikastra 3 года назад

Some of these riffs only gain their true power combined with the amazing rythym section of Butler and Ward. Not that the riffs aren't brilliant on their own

@bloxsy_ 3 года назад

Agree, they really were a tight unit.

@fantasypgatour 3 года назад

Consider these: Wicked World, Warning, Faeries Wear Boots, Hand of Doom, Into the void, Lord of this World, Tomorrows Dream, St. Vitus' Dance, Cornucopia, Under the Sun, Sabbra Cadabra, Killing Yourself to Live, Supertzar, the writ, Dirty Women, Backstreet Kids, Junior's Eyes, Neon Nights, Heaven and Hell, Children of the Sea, Mob Rules, Zero the Hero, etc.

Bc this is OZZY era and plus Sabbath has so many great riffs it's hard to fit in all of them unless u do a top 30# all & all it was brilliant !!!

@D.Guitar 3 года назад

The thing about so many Sabbath tunes. And especially leads. . Is that So many are doubled.. and not doubled as in the same. Two leads that fit. . And complement each other. And harmonies in Chord run. So playing it by yourself live. Never comes out quite as good as the album...
