Adored by their fans and loathed by their critics, across a career
that spanned almost fifty years, Black Sabbath divided opinions
more than any other band. From heavy psych to heavy metal, this
band of Brummie mates ploughed their own unique furrow, releasing a
trove of albums along the way and cementing themselves as one of
the hardest working live acts on the road. Friendship, ambition,
betrayal and jealousy, alongside a yearning for acceptance,
interacted with a prodigious appetite for drugs and practical jokes
that drove them to the edge. In the hothouse that was Seventies
rock 'n' roll all of these elements combined to make what is a
truly remarkable story. This is a tale of how four ordinary working
class blokes emerged from the Aston area of Birmingham in the late
1960s and helped to redefine music and invent a genre. Along the
way each of them overcame personal travails to conquer the world
and become one of the biggest bands on the planet. Other members
like Ronnie James Dio came and went, but at the centre of it sat
the core members, Ozzy Osbourne, Tony Iommi, Geezer Butler and Bill
Ward. Inspiring and heartbreaking in equal measure their journey to
the top and their appetite for wilful self destruction is the stuff
of showbiz legend, mixing witches' curses and financial
mismanagement along the way. In this exhaustive yet concise study
Greg Healey examines the history of the band and their music.
Looking beyond the myths, Healey seeks to uncover the truth behind
what inspired their sound, drove their wild behaviour, and the
circumstances that led them to lose everything and then, against
impossible odds, try to win it back again. Love them or loathe
them, this is Black Sabbath.
