===Albumy studyjne===
----
'''Black Sabbath''' (''Czarny Sabat'',1970) – Co było pierwsze jajko czy kura? Tytuł płyty czy nazwa zespołu? Wbrew pozorom to drugie (wcześniej ''Black Sabbath'' nazywało się ''[[Rodzaje babć autobusowych|Polka]] Thulk'', nic dziwnego, że nie zdobyli popularności). Jak sami twierdzą płyta nagrana w 2 dni, ale wymyślanie tytułu zajęło im 2 tygodnie.
----
'''Paranoid''' (''Paranoik'', 1970) – po sukcesie pierwszej płyty członkowie zespołu przerzucili się z [[alkohol]] na produkty pochodne egzotycznych roślin, stąd takie a nie inne brzmienie. Tak czy inaczej zawiera dwa wielkie hity – ''Paranoid'' i ''Iron Man''. Najpewniej są to jedyne piosenki metalowe znane twoim kolegom nie będącym metalowcami, poza ''Nothing Else Metters'' oczywiście.
----
'''Master of Reality''' (''Mistrz Prawdziwości'', 1971) – nazwa odnosi się do wyzwisk jakimi Osbourne obrzucał fanów na koncertach, gdyż jak wiadomo, co prawdziwe to z serca.
----
'''Vol. 4''' (''Rozdz. 4'', 1972) – wymyślenie tego tytułu wymagało z kolei kilku dni spędzonych nad linijką kokainy. Uwierzycie, że jakiś idiota zabił się po wysłuchaniu tej płyty i dlatego powołano w Stanach specjalne ciało zwane Parents Music Resource Center (Poszukiwacze Środków na zakup Muzyki dla Rodziców), na którego listę trafiają podobnie depresyjne (lub szczególnie obsceniczne) piosenki.
----
'''Sabbath Bloody Sabbath''' (''Sabat Wykur{{Cenzura3}}ty Sabat'', 1973) – szczegółowe opisy przeżyć z koncertów zespołu.
----
'''Sabotage''' (''Sabotaż'', 1975) – Geezer znalazł syntezatory, które powoli wchodzą do użytku. Przez fanów określona jako koniec świata i w ogóle sabotaż.
----
'''Technical Ecstasy''' (''Techniczna Ekstaza'', 1976) – syntezatory i Ozzy szaleją, fani płaczą, ale przynajmniej nikt nie popełnia samobójstwa.
----
'''Never Say <s>Dio</s> Die!''' (''Nigdy nie mów giń!'', 1978) – ostatnia płyta z Osbournem, z którym komunikacja była mocno utrudniona, bo był bez przerwy naćpany.
----
'''Heaven And Hell''' (''Niebo i Piekło'', 1980) – debiut Dio. Ozzy dostał piany, bo w statystykach sprzedaży wyprzedził jego solowy debiut, ''Ozzmosis''.
----
'''Mob Rules''' (''Rządy Pospólstwa'', 1981) – album opowiada o rosnącej pladze [[dres]]iarstwa, reprezentowanego przez postacie w kapturach na okładce i [[graffiti]]. Panowie sugerują, żeby rzucić ich na pożarcie bestii piekielnej, aczkolwiek nie precyzują, o którą konkretnie bestię chodzi. Podejrzewamy [[Cthulthu]].
----
'''Born Again''' (''Urodzony Ponownie'', 1983) – jedyny album, na którym śpiewa Ian Gillan. Co ciekawe ma najwięcej psychopatycznych fanów. Debiut zespołu na liście PMRC, dzięki piosence ''Trashed'', która ma tekst namawiający do (cytat za tymże PMRC): seksu z nieletnimi, alkoholu, narkotyków, rock'n'rolla. O tymże tekście sam Gillan wypowiedział się „bo przyszłem se trochie pokleć i od razu wielka afera”.
----
'''Seventh Star''' (''Siódmy [[Star]]'', 1986) – na dobrą sprawę solowy album Iommiego, który jednak ze względów [[marketing]]owych został wydany jako Black Sabbath. Wydziera się na nim Glen Hughes.
----
'''The Eternal Idol''' (''Odwieczny Idol'', 1987) – jedyny znany ludzkości album wydany od razu w dwóch wersjach wokalnych – Raya Gillena, który miał być wokalistą Black Sabbath, ale zabił się ze szczęścia i Tony'ego Martina.
----
'''Headless Cross''' (''Bezgłowy Krzyż'', 1989) – Drugi, bardzo dopracowany album z Tonym Martinem. Podobno teksty na nim są najbardziej satanistyczne ze wszystkich.
----
'''TYR''' (''TYR'', 1990) – jest to tak zwany album koncepcyjny opowiadający niezwykle optymistyczną historię końca świata według [[Wiking]]ów, ale nie będąca jednocześnie [[Viking metal]]em. W związku z tym nie ma tam ani słowa o Szatanie.
----
'''Dehumanizer''' (''Dehumanizer'', 1992) – krótkotrwały powrót Dio do Black Sabbath zaowocował tym satanistycznym czymś. Co ciekawe dwie piosenki były nagrane już w 1986 przez Geezera z jego zespołem. Po tymże nie ocalało jednak nic poza tymi dwoma nagraniami, więc nie wiadomo nawet kto robi tam za wokalistę, wystarczyło by stwierdzić, że był to najdłużej nagrywany album muzyczny w historii, przebity dopiero przez ''Chinese Democracy'' [[Guns N' Roses]].
----
'''Cross Purposes''' (''Nieporozumienie'', 1994) – chłopaki tłumaczą się tutaj dlaczego wyrzucili bez słowa Tony'ego z zespołu.
----
'''Forbidden''' (''Zabroniony'', 1995) – niby miała to być kontynuacja linii zapoczątkowanej przez ''TYR'', a wyszło beznadziejnie. Teksty są o niczym, muzyka jest bezpłciowa, a niebo za mało niebieskie.
----
'''The Devil You Know''' (''Diabeł, którego znasz'', 2009 jako Heaven&Hell) – ostatni jak na razie wyskok Black Sabbath. Nagrany dla odmiany z Dio, który śpiewa tu tak jakby miał za chwilę umrzeć, co poniekąd okazało się prawdą. Przewiduje zagładę atomową w 2012.
----
===Albumy koncertowe===
----
'''Live at Last''' – koncertowy album [[Black Sabbath]]. Pomimo jego szerokiej dystrybucji, był on wydany bez wiedzy ani zgody członków zespołu, przez co jest zaliczany do wydawnictw nieoficjalnych. Wydawnictwo zostało skompilowane z dwóch bootlegów z marca 1973. Album został wydany w 1980 roku, a jego reedycja nastąpiła w 1996 roku. "Wicked World" to mieszanka kilku utworów.


Utwory 1-5 zostały zarejestrowane w Hardrock w [[Manchester]]ze w [[Anglia|Anglii]] 11 marca 1973.
'''Cozy Powell''' (właśc. '''Colin Flooks''', 29 grudnia 1947 – 5 kwietnia 1998) – podobno najlepszy perkusista na świecie. Szacuje się, że przed śmiercią zdążył nagrać [[Szatan|66,6]]<ref>Jeśli uwzględnić te albumy, na których gra na niektórych ścieżkach, np. ''Scream'' [[Tony Martin|Tony'ego Martina]]</ref> albumów. Współpracował m. in. z [[Black Sabbath]], [[Rainbow]] czy [[Whitesnake]].


Utwory 6-9 zostały zarejestrowane w Rainbow Theatre w [[Londyn]]ie w Anglii 16 marca 1973.
== Życiorys ==


== Lista utworów ==
Colin na perkusji zaczął wymiatać już w wieku dwunastu lat, a wieku piętnastu wymiatał lepiej niż [[Bill Ward]] w najlepszych latach. Cierpiał jednak na paniczny lęk przed własnym imieniem toteż ukradł ksywkę jednemu ze swojemu ulubionemu perkusiście [[jazz]]owemu. Nazwisko wymyślił jednak sam przy butelce [[absynt]]u. Kiedy miał już ksywkę założył z [[Tony Iommi|Tonym Iommim]] półprofesjonalny zespół, w którym grali w przerwach pomiędzy wytapianiem stali i grzebaniem po śmietnikach w Birmingham. Niedługo potem Iommi założył Black Sabbath, a Cozy stracił kumpla do gry. Nagrywał potem z kilkoma zespołami, których piosenki okazały się potem przypadkiem wielkimi hitami, a w 1973 założył zespół nazwany własnym imieniem. Nie szło mu jednak i dwa lata później dołączył do Rainbow, skąd wyrzucił go [[Ritchie Blackmore]], w jednej ze swoich czystek, w których był lepszy od [[Józef Stalin|Stalina]]. Cozy wrócił więc do solowej twórczości. jak również objawił się we Whitesnake. Niedługo potem opuścił Coverdale'a, bo zachciało mu się wzorem Iommiego grać muzykę, w której jest więcej Szatana. Zapisał się więc do Black Sabbath, po czym, gdy stwierdził że zjadanie kotów i palenie krzyży jednak jest nie dla niego, wrócił do własnej twórczości. Załapał się jeszcze do zespołu Briana Maya i wrócił do Black Sabbath, gdy Tony obiecał mu, że koniec ze zjadaniem kotów. Pobył w zespole jakiś czas, ale został wyrzucony przez [[Ozzy Osbourne|Ozzy'iego]]. Przedtem jednak zespół wyprawił mu [[Libacja alkoholowa|przyjęcie pożegnalne]], po którym Cozy wsiadł do swojego Saaba, rozpędził go do 167 km/h, odebrał telefon od swojej dziewczyny i przywalił w drzewo ze skutkiem śmiertelnym. Typowy Polak<ref>Chociaż nie, typowy Polak napakowałby do swojego [[Fiat Cinquecento|Cinquecento]] siedmiu kolegów, a gdy zadzwoniłby telefon po prostu wyrzuciłby go przez okno z rozpędzonego do 120 km/h Fiata i bezpiecznie dotarł do domu.</ref>.

===Z Whitesnake===
'''''Live Evil''''', released in December 1982 (see [[1982 in music]]) and in January 1983 in the UK, is the first "official" live album by British heavy metal band [[Black Sabbath]], the previously released ''[[Live at Last (Black Sabbath album)|Live at Last]]'' (1980) not having been sanctioned by the band. It was recorded with [[Ronnie James Dio]] singing and is a document of the [[Mob Rules (album)|''Mob Rules'']] World Tour, that ran from 15 November 1981 to 13 August 1982. The 2007 limited-edition release ''[[Live at Hammersmith Odeon]]'' is from this same tour.


==Background==
*''Snakebite'' (1978)
The sleeve states that ''Live Evil'' was recorded in [[Seattle]], [[San Antonio]] and [[Dallas]], but doesn't give the venues or recording dates for the individual songs. (Black Sabbath played Seattle on 23&ndash;24 April 1982, Dallas on 12 May, and San Antonio on 13 May 1982.) To further confuse matters, during a radio broadcast of his band [[Dio (band)|Dio]], recorded live in 1983 in Fresno, CA, Ronnie James Dio says, "Just in case you didn't know, the album ''Live Evil'' that we [Dio and drummer [[Vinny Appice]]] did with Black Sabbath here last time was recorded at Fresno.' It is not unreasonable to assume that many of the shows were recorded with a view to the live album (see the aforementioned ''Live at Hammersmith Odeon'') but whether any of the tracks recorded at Fresno, where Sabbath played 18 April 1982, made the final cut is unknown at present.
*''Trouble'' (1978)
*''Lovehunter'' (1979)
*''Ready an' Willing'' (1980
*''Come an' Get It'' (1981)
*''Saints & Sinners'' (1982)
*''Whitesnake'' (1987)


Already having tense relations with the other band members, Dio and Appice abruptly left the group sometime in October 1982, during the mixing of the album, amidst rumors that they had sneaked into the studio late at night to mix the drums and vocals higher. All parties have since denied that this occurred and laid the blame on the engineer, who was 'telling tales'.<ref>Marszalek, Julian. "Black Sabbath's Tony Iommi Recalls the 'Heaven and Hell' Era"[http://www.spinner.com/2010/04/02/black-sabbath-tony-iommi-interview/]. Spiner.com. Retrieved 2010-04-05</ref> In what Dio has called retaliation for his and Appice's departure from the group, on the back of the album, Dio is listed as "Ronnie Dio" instead of his stage-name of "Ronnie James Dio," and Appice is listed as a special guest rather than a member of the band. Production credits were ultimately for [[Tony Iommi]] and [[Geezer Butler]] and whilst the band sound well-mixed, the crowd is all but inaudible. It is interesting that when the "Neon Knights" single was released in 1980, it was Iommi and Dio who had produced the live version of "Children Of the Sea" which was the B-side.


One of the most popular tracks on the album is a near 20-minute long medley that includes "Heaven and Hell" (with its extended breakdown section and additional lyrics), "The Sign of the Southern Cross", a guitar solo, and finishing off the ending of "Heaven and Hell".
With Black Sabbath

The 5th track, "Voodoo" features an [[ad libitum]] part from Dio, enhancing the song with additional lyrics not to be found on the studio version.

Another favourite is an extended "[[War Pigs (song)|War Pigs]]" which featured a drum solo from Appice whose playing more closely resembled [[John Bonham]] than original Sabbath drummer [[Bill Ward (musician)|Bill Ward]]'s jazzier style.

Early in the "Heaven and Hell" medley Dio tells the audience "Not only are we filming this one...", but the footage have yet to become commercially available. The show in Dallas was filmed and some footage can be found on [[YouTube]]. This material is different from the footage on the ''Black & Blue'' video, laserdisc and ultimately the DVD pulled before general release, which was recorded on the ''[[Heaven and Hell (Black Sabbath)|Heaven and Hell]]'' tour on 17 October 1980.

''Live Evil'' peaked at number 37 on the ''[[Billboard (magazine)|Billboard]]'' Pop Albums chart.<ref>{{cite web|title=AllMusic Billboard albums|url={{Allmusic|class=album|id=r2009/charts-awards|pure_url=yes}}|accessdate=2009-01-30}}</ref>

The album is included in the [[Black Sabbath (band)|Black Sabbath]] box set ''[[The Rules of Hell]]''.<ref name='MP3'>{{cite news | first=Jim | last=Welte | coauthors= | title=Legends align for Metal Masters Tour | date=2008-04-22 | publisher= | url =http://www.mp3.com/news/stories/11191.html | work =[[MP3.com]] | pages = | accessdate = 2008-04-23 | language = }}</ref>

== Album cover ==
The album cover shows a group of beings that each represent specific Black Sabbath songs. They are:

* a screaming man in a [[straitjacket]] ("[[Paranoid (song)|Paranoid]]")
* a [[West African Vodun|voodoo]] [[shaman]] ("Voodoo")
* an angel and a devil ("[[Heaven and Hell (Black Sabbath song)|Heaven and Hell]]")
* a knight with a sword emitting an eerie glow ("[[Neon Knights]]")
* a hooded man ("[[Black Sabbath (song)|Black Sabbath]]")
* a goat head, hidden in the sand directly under the War Pig ("[[N.I.B.]]")
* a metallic-skinned man flexing his muscles ("[[Iron Man (song)|Iron Man]]")
* a pig dressed as a [[United States Army enlisted rank insignia|sergeant]] ("[[War Pigs (song)|War Pigs]]")
* a group of children inside a casket ("[[Children of the Grave (Black Sabbath song)|Children of the Grave]]") floating on the water ("Children of the Sea")
* a man with a whip ("[[Mob Rules (album)|The Mob Rules]]")
* lightning in the shape of a devil's head ("E5150")
* (On the back of the sleeve) an acoustic guitar washed up on the shore ("[[Fluff (song)|Fluff]]")
* (On the back of the sleeve) the [[Crux|Southern Cross]] in the sky ("The Sign of the Southern Cross")

The album cover art was created by Stan Watts.

The cassette release had, as its first side, sides 1 and 3 of the vinyl release, with side two of the cassette being vinyl sides 2 and 4. It seems this was not a mistake, rather a money-saving exercise, since the running-times of the two sides of the tape were more-or-less equal in this configuration.

The first UK CD release omitted "War Pigs" (or "Warpigs" as it was titled in the explanation for its cutting, printed on the rear of the tray-insert), so as to fit onto a single CD. The 1996 UK remaster restored this track but cut much of the stage banter, so as to again fit onto a single CD: this reduced the 'live' feel of the recordings.

In the US Warner Brothers released a 2CD set, which matched the running-order of the vinyl. Each of these WB CDs came in its own jewel-case, complete with artwork, rather than a 2CD jewel-case.

Universal Music Corporation released a "deluxe edition" worldwide in 2010 which contained the entire album in its original running order.

'''''Cross Purposes Live''''' is a live album recorded by the British metal band [[Black Sabbath]]. It was released in 1995. It is the only live-record with singer [[Tony Martin (rock singer)|Tony Martin]]. It was available only as part of [[Compact Disc|CD]] and [[VHS]] double-pack. The CD was housed within an oversize videotape-case but had its own inserts and jewel-case. It was recorded at the Hammersmith Apollo, London, on Wednesday 13 April 1994.

"Children of the Sea" was also played at the concert, being between "[[Children of the Grave]]" and "I Witness" in the running-order, but is not featured in the official release for reasons unclear. Rondinelli's drum solo also has a minute edited-out.

Both the original [[Compact Disc|CD]] and [[VHS]] tape are out of print. There was an unlicensed [[Digital Versatile Disc|DVD]] released with nine of the sixteen original video tracks, around an hour in running time. This release includes the promo videoclip of "Feels Good to Me", from the ''[[Tyr (album)|Tyr]]'' album.

In Dec 2010 an officially licensed by Eagle Rock Entertianment complete 87min version NTSC region 2 DVD was finally released in Japan only.

'''''Reunion''''' is a [[live album]] by [[heavy metal music|heavy metal]] band [[Black Sabbath]].

After the departure of vocalist Ozzy Osbourne in 1979, Black Sabbath's line-up slowly lost stability and never quite recovered. Following a couple of one-off reunions in 1985 and 1992, the original Sabbath line-up of [[Ozzy Osbourne]], [[Tony Iommi]], [[Geezer Butler]] and [[Bill Ward (musician)|Bill Ward]] refomred, playing sporadic dates until Dio replaced Ozzy a second time, reforming the Heaven and Hell lineup to tour following the release of the compilation album [[The Dio Years]].

This 2-CD live album was put together from the first two shows after the reunion, at the [[National Exhibition Centre|Birmingham NEC]]. Along with live versions of tracks such as "[[Paranoid (song)|Paranoid]]", "[[N.I.B.]]", "[[Black Sabbath (song)|Black Sabbath]]" and "[[Iron Man (song)|Iron Man]]", it also features two new studio tracks - "Selling My Soul" and "Psycho Man". This was the only new material to have been officially released by Black Sabbath post-reunion until three new tracks appeared on the post-Ozzy compilation ''[[Black Sabbath: The Dio Years]]'' in 2007. The two new tracks on ''Reunion'' were also released on a single CD in the USA.

Black Sabbath received their only [[Grammy Award for Best Metal Performance]], for the live recording of "[[Iron Man (song)|Iron Man]]" from this album.<ref>{{cite web|title=AllMusic Grammys|url={{Allmusic|class=album|id=r379827|pure_url=yes}}|accessdate=2009-01-31}}</ref>

It was released as a digipak and in a standard 2CD jewel-case.

Though the band were considered legends by this time, this was the first "official" live album featuring Osbourne on vocals. 1980's ''[[Live at Last (Black Sabbath album)|Live at Last]]'' was not approved for release by the band.

'''''Reunion''''' is a [[live album]] by [[heavy metal music|heavy metal]] band [[Black Sabbath]].

After the departure of vocalist Ozzy Osbourne in 1979, Black Sabbath's line-up slowly lost stability and never quite recovered. Following a couple of one-off reunions in 1985 and 1992, the original Sabbath line-up of [[Ozzy Osbourne]], [[Tony Iommi]], [[Geezer Butler]] and [[Bill Ward (musician)|Bill Ward]] refomred, playing sporadic dates until Dio replaced Ozzy a second time, reforming the Heaven and Hell lineup to tour following the release of the compilation album [[The Dio Years]].

This 2-CD live album was put together from the first two shows after the reunion, at the [[National Exhibition Centre|Birmingham NEC]]. Along with live versions of tracks such as "[[Paranoid (song)|Paranoid]]", "[[N.I.B.]]", "[[Black Sabbath (song)|Black Sabbath]]" and "[[Iron Man (song)|Iron Man]]", it also features two new studio tracks - "Selling My Soul" and "Psycho Man". This was the only new material to have been officially released by Black Sabbath post-reunion until three new tracks appeared on the post-Ozzy compilation ''[[Black Sabbath: The Dio Years]]'' in 2007. The two new tracks on ''Reunion'' were also released on a single CD in the USA.

Black Sabbath received their only [[Grammy Award for Best Metal Performance]], for the live recording of "[[Iron Man (song)|Iron Man]]" from this album.<ref>{{cite web|title=AllMusic Grammys|url={{Allmusic|class=album|id=r379827|pure_url=yes}}|accessdate=2009-01-31}}</ref>

It was released as a digipak and in a standard 2CD jewel-case.

Though the band were considered legends by this time, this was the first "official" live album featuring Osbourne on vocals. 1980's ''[[Live at Last (Black Sabbath album)|Live at Last]]'' was not approved for release by the band.

'''''Black Sabbath: The Dio Years''''' is a 2007 compilation CD of material from recordings made during vocalist [[Ronnie James Dio]]'s tenure in the band. The CD contains full album length, remastered tracks culled from all three studio albums; ''[[Heaven and Hell (Black Sabbath album)|Heaven and Hell]]'' ([[1980]]), ''[[Mob Rules (album)|Mob Rules]]'' ([[1981]]), ''[[Dehumanizer]]'' ([[1992]]), and the live album ''[[Live Evil (Black Sabbath album)|Live Evil]]'' ([[1982]]). It also contains three new recorded songs; "The Devil Cried," "Shadow of the Wind," and "Ear in the Wall."

It was reported that the collection was first conceived of as a box set, in the vein of ''[[Black Box: The Complete Original Black Sabbath (1970–1978)]]''; containing all of the group's albums released from their post-[[Ozzy Osbourne]] period, starting from ''[[Heaven and Hell (Black Sabbath album)|Heaven and Hell]]'' to ''[[The Eternal Idol]]''. This idea was eventually scrapped, and another box set was planned only to feature the four albums recorded from the Dio era of the band. This second idea was put aside, eventually emerging into ''[[The Rules of Hell]]'' box set released in the summer of [[2008]].

In an interview conducted by [[Martin Popoff]], [[Tony Iommi]] revealed that in fact three tracks were recorded<ref>[http://www.bravewords.com/news/56819 Bravewords.com > News<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref>: "Shadow of the Wind" (a slow tune), "The Devil Cried" (a mid tempo rocker) and "Ear in the Wall" (a fast song), therefore changing the original plan for two new songs to accommodate all three tracks in the compilation. "The Devil Cried" was released as a single on 13 March 2007.<ref>[http://www.black-sabbath.com/news/2007/02/the_devil_cried_single.html Black Sabbath News: The Devil Cried Single<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref>

On 23 February 2007, both [[Eddie Trunk]] and Sirius Satellite Radio unveiled the song "The Devil Cried" from the upcoming album. Rhino Records subsequently made the track available (for preview only) on 26 February 2007. On the week of 13 March 2007, it became available for download at all digital outlets.

After the recording was completed the members decided to [[Heaven and Hell 2007 Tour|tour]] under the moniker, [[Heaven & Hell (band)|Heaven & Hell]].<ref>{{cite news | first=Jon | last=Wiederhorn | coauthors= | title=Half Of Black Sabbath Reunite With Dio; Tour Begins In March | date=2006-12-15 | publisher= | url =http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1548069/20061214/black_sabbath.jhtml | work =[[MTV]] | pages = | accessdate = 2003-03-20 | language = }}</ref> Dio and Iommi decided that the working partnership they had achieved in recording the 3 new songs would not be wasted, so they recorded ''[[The Devil You Know (Heaven & Hell album)|The Devil You Know]]''.

== UK Tour Edition ==
Before the [[Heaven & Hell (band)|Heaven & Hell]] [[Heaven and Hell 2007 Tour|tour]] of the UK in November 2007, a special edition release of ''The Dio Years'' was released on 5 November - ''Black Sabbath: The Dio Years Tour Edition'' to commemorate the tour. This CD, only to be in print for a limited time, features four songs from the ''[[Live at Hammersmith Odeon]]'' limited edition live album recently released by Black Sabbath. The four songs, recorded live in 1981 during Black Sabbath's "Mob Rules Tour" are "Neon Knights," "The Mob Rules," "Children of the Grave," and "Voodoo."

Lider zespołu. Uwagę zwraca niedogolona broda, na ktorą Kai wyrywa lachony.

To pijak i złodziej, bo każdy pijak to złodziej

Twoja sąsiadka o Ozzy'im

Albumy studyjne


Black Sabbath (Czarny Sabat,1970) – Co było pierwsze jajko czy kura? Tytuł płyty czy nazwa zespołu? Wbrew pozorom to drugie (wcześniej Black Sabbath nazywało się Polka Thulk, nic dziwnego, że nie zdobyli popularności). Jak sami twierdzą płyta nagrana w 2 dni, ale wymyślanie tytułu zajęło im 2 tygodnie.


Paranoid (Paranoik, 1970) – po sukcesie pierwszej płyty członkowie zespołu przerzucili się z alkohol na produkty pochodne egzotycznych roślin, stąd takie a nie inne brzmienie. Tak czy inaczej zawiera dwa wielkie hity – Paranoid i Iron Man. Najpewniej są to jedyne piosenki metalowe znane twoim kolegom nie będącym metalowcami, poza Nothing Else Metters oczywiście.


Master of Reality (Mistrz Prawdziwości, 1971) – nazwa odnosi się do wyzwisk jakimi Osbourne obrzucał fanów na koncertach, gdyż jak wiadomo, co prawdziwe to z serca.


Vol. 4 (Rozdz. 4, 1972) – wymyślenie tego tytułu wymagało z kolei kilku dni spędzonych nad linijką kokainy. Uwierzycie, że jakiś idiota zabił się po wysłuchaniu tej płyty i dlatego powołano w Stanach specjalne ciało zwane Parents Music Resource Center (Poszukiwacze Środków na zakup Muzyki dla Rodziców), na którego listę trafiają podobnie depresyjne (lub szczególnie obsceniczne) piosenki.


Sabbath Bloody Sabbath (Sabat WykurCenzura2.svgty Sabat, 1973) – szczegółowe opisy przeżyć z koncertów zespołu.


Sabotage (Sabotaż, 1975) – Geezer znalazł syntezatory, które powoli wchodzą do użytku. Przez fanów określona jako koniec świata i w ogóle sabotaż.


Technical Ecstasy (Techniczna Ekstaza, 1976) – syntezatory i Ozzy szaleją, fani płaczą, ale przynajmniej nikt nie popełnia samobójstwa.


Never Say Dio Die! (Nigdy nie mów giń!, 1978) – ostatnia płyta z Osbournem, z którym komunikacja była mocno utrudniona, bo był bez przerwy naćpany.


Heaven And Hell (Niebo i Piekło, 1980) – debiut Dio. Ozzy dostał piany, bo w statystykach sprzedaży wyprzedził jego solowy debiut, Ozzmosis.


Mob Rules (Rządy Pospólstwa, 1981) – album opowiada o rosnącej pladze dresiarstwa, reprezentowanego przez postacie w kapturach na okładce i graffiti. Panowie sugerują, żeby rzucić ich na pożarcie bestii piekielnej, aczkolwiek nie precyzują, o którą konkretnie bestię chodzi. Podejrzewamy Cthulthu.


Born Again (Urodzony Ponownie, 1983) – jedyny album, na którym śpiewa Ian Gillan. Co ciekawe ma najwięcej psychopatycznych fanów. Debiut zespołu na liście PMRC, dzięki piosence Trashed, która ma tekst namawiający do (cytat za tymże PMRC): seksu z nieletnimi, alkoholu, narkotyków, rock'n'rolla. O tymże tekście sam Gillan wypowiedział się „bo przyszłem se trochie pokleć i od razu wielka afera”.


Seventh Star (Siódmy Star, 1986) – na dobrą sprawę solowy album Iommiego, który jednak ze względów marketingowych został wydany jako Black Sabbath. Wydziera się na nim Glen Hughes.


The Eternal Idol (Odwieczny Idol, 1987) – jedyny znany ludzkości album wydany od razu w dwóch wersjach wokalnych – Raya Gillena, który miał być wokalistą Black Sabbath, ale zabił się ze szczęścia i Tony'ego Martina.


Headless Cross (Bezgłowy Krzyż, 1989) – Drugi, bardzo dopracowany album z Tonym Martinem. Podobno teksty na nim są najbardziej satanistyczne ze wszystkich.


TYR (TYR, 1990) – jest to tak zwany album koncepcyjny opowiadający niezwykle optymistyczną historię końca świata według Wikingów, ale nie będąca jednocześnie Viking metalem. W związku z tym nie ma tam ani słowa o Szatanie.


Dehumanizer (Dehumanizer, 1992) – krótkotrwały powrót Dio do Black Sabbath zaowocował tym satanistycznym czymś. Co ciekawe dwie piosenki były nagrane już w 1986 przez Geezera z jego zespołem. Po tymże nie ocalało jednak nic poza tymi dwoma nagraniami, więc nie wiadomo nawet kto robi tam za wokalistę, wystarczyło by stwierdzić, że był to najdłużej nagrywany album muzyczny w historii, przebity dopiero przez Chinese Democracy Guns N' Roses.


Cross Purposes (Nieporozumienie, 1994) – chłopaki tłumaczą się tutaj dlaczego wyrzucili bez słowa Tony'ego z zespołu.


Forbidden (Zabroniony, 1995) – niby miała to być kontynuacja linii zapoczątkowanej przez TYR, a wyszło beznadziejnie. Teksty są o niczym, muzyka jest bezpłciowa, a niebo za mało niebieskie.


The Devil You Know (Diabeł, którego znasz, 2009 jako Heaven&Hell) – ostatni jak na razie wyskok Black Sabbath. Nagrany dla odmiany z Dio, który śpiewa tu tak jakby miał za chwilę umrzeć, co poniekąd okazało się prawdą. Przewiduje zagładę atomową w 2012.


Albumy koncertowe


Live at Last – koncertowy album Black Sabbath. Pomimo jego szerokiej dystrybucji, był on wydany bez wiedzy ani zgody członków zespołu, przez co jest zaliczany do wydawnictw nieoficjalnych. Wydawnictwo zostało skompilowane z dwóch bootlegów z marca 1973. Album został wydany w 1980 roku, a jego reedycja nastąpiła w 1996 roku. "Wicked World" to mieszanka kilku utworów.

Utwory 1-5 zostały zarejestrowane w Hardrock w Manchesterze w Anglii 11 marca 1973.

Utwory 6-9 zostały zarejestrowane w Rainbow Theatre w Londynie w Anglii 16 marca 1973.

Twórcy


Live Evil, released in December 1982 (see 1982 in music) and in January 1983 in the UK, is the first "official" live album by British heavy metal band Black Sabbath, the previously released Live at Last (1980) not having been sanctioned by the band. It was recorded with Ronnie James Dio singing and is a document of the Mob Rules World Tour, that ran from 15 November 1981 to 13 August 1982. The 2007 limited-edition release Live at Hammersmith Odeon is from this same tour.

Background

The sleeve states that Live Evil was recorded in Seattle, San Antonio and Dallas, but doesn't give the venues or recording dates for the individual songs. (Black Sabbath played Seattle on 23–24 April 1982, Dallas on 12 May, and San Antonio on 13 May 1982.) To further confuse matters, during a radio broadcast of his band Dio, recorded live in 1983 in Fresno, CA, Ronnie James Dio says, "Just in case you didn't know, the album Live Evil that we [Dio and drummer Vinny Appice] did with Black Sabbath here last time was recorded at Fresno.' It is not unreasonable to assume that many of the shows were recorded with a view to the live album (see the aforementioned Live at Hammersmith Odeon) but whether any of the tracks recorded at Fresno, where Sabbath played 18 April 1982, made the final cut is unknown at present.

Already having tense relations with the other band members, Dio and Appice abruptly left the group sometime in October 1982, during the mixing of the album, amidst rumors that they had sneaked into the studio late at night to mix the drums and vocals higher. All parties have since denied that this occurred and laid the blame on the engineer, who was 'telling tales'.[1] In what Dio has called retaliation for his and Appice's departure from the group, on the back of the album, Dio is listed as "Ronnie Dio" instead of his stage-name of "Ronnie James Dio," and Appice is listed as a special guest rather than a member of the band. Production credits were ultimately for Tony Iommi and Geezer Butler and whilst the band sound well-mixed, the crowd is all but inaudible. It is interesting that when the "Neon Knights" single was released in 1980, it was Iommi and Dio who had produced the live version of "Children Of the Sea" which was the B-side.

One of the most popular tracks on the album is a near 20-minute long medley that includes "Heaven and Hell" (with its extended breakdown section and additional lyrics), "The Sign of the Southern Cross", a guitar solo, and finishing off the ending of "Heaven and Hell".

The 5th track, "Voodoo" features an ad libitum part from Dio, enhancing the song with additional lyrics not to be found on the studio version.

Another favourite is an extended "War Pigs" which featured a drum solo from Appice whose playing more closely resembled John Bonham than original Sabbath drummer Bill Ward's jazzier style.

Early in the "Heaven and Hell" medley Dio tells the audience "Not only are we filming this one...", but the footage have yet to become commercially available. The show in Dallas was filmed and some footage can be found on YouTube. This material is different from the footage on the Black & Blue video, laserdisc and ultimately the DVD pulled before general release, which was recorded on the Heaven and Hell tour on 17 October 1980.

Live Evil peaked at number 37 on the Billboard Pop Albums chart.[2]

The album is included in the Black Sabbath box set The Rules of Hell.[3]

The cassette release had, as its first side, sides 1 and 3 of the vinyl release, with side two of the cassette being vinyl sides 2 and 4. It seems this was not a mistake, rather a money-saving exercise, since the running-times of the two sides of the tape were more-or-less equal in this configuration.

The first UK CD release omitted "War Pigs" (or "Warpigs" as it was titled in the explanation for its cutting, printed on the rear of the tray-insert), so as to fit onto a single CD. The 1996 UK remaster restored this track but cut much of the stage banter, so as to again fit onto a single CD: this reduced the 'live' feel of the recordings.

In the US Warner Brothers released a 2CD set, which matched the running-order of the vinyl. Each of these WB CDs came in its own jewel-case, complete with artwork, rather than a 2CD jewel-case.

Universal Music Corporation released a "deluxe edition" worldwide in 2010 which contained the entire album in its original running order.

Personnel


Cross Purposes Live is a live album recorded by the British metal band Black Sabbath. It was released in 1995. It is the only live-record with singer Tony Martin. It was available only as part of CD and VHS double-pack. The CD was housed within an oversize videotape-case but had its own inserts and jewel-case. It was recorded at the Hammersmith Apollo, London, on Wednesday 13 April 1994.

"Children of the Sea" was also played at the concert, being between "Children of the Grave" and "I Witness" in the running-order, but is not featured in the official release for reasons unclear. Rondinelli's drum solo also has a minute edited-out.

Both the original CD and VHS tape are out of print. There was an unlicensed DVD released with nine of the sixteen original video tracks, around an hour in running time. This release includes the promo videoclip of "Feels Good to Me", from the Tyr album.

In Dec 2010 an officially licensed by Eagle Rock Entertianment complete 87min version NTSC region 2 DVD was finally released in Japan only.

Reunion is a live album by heavy metal band Black Sabbath.

After the departure of vocalist Ozzy Osbourne in 1979, Black Sabbath's line-up slowly lost stability and never quite recovered. Following a couple of one-off reunions in 1985 and 1992, the original Sabbath line-up of Ozzy Osbourne, Tony Iommi, Geezer Butler and Bill Ward refomred, playing sporadic dates until Dio replaced Ozzy a second time, reforming the Heaven and Hell lineup to tour following the release of the compilation album The Dio Years.

This 2-CD live album was put together from the first two shows after the reunion, at the Birmingham NEC. Along with live versions of tracks such as "Paranoid", "N.I.B.", "Black Sabbath" and "Iron Man", it also features two new studio tracks - "Selling My Soul" and "Psycho Man". This was the only new material to have been officially released by Black Sabbath post-reunion until three new tracks appeared on the post-Ozzy compilation Black Sabbath: The Dio Years in 2007. The two new tracks on Reunion were also released on a single CD in the USA.

Black Sabbath received their only Grammy Award for Best Metal Performance, for the live recording of "Iron Man" from this album.[4]

It was released as a digipak and in a standard 2CD jewel-case.

Though the band were considered legends by this time, this was the first "official" live album featuring Osbourne on vocals. 1980's Live at Last was not approved for release by the band.

Reunion is a live album by heavy metal band Black Sabbath.

After the departure of vocalist Ozzy Osbourne in 1979, Black Sabbath's line-up slowly lost stability and never quite recovered. Following a couple of one-off reunions in 1985 and 1992, the original Sabbath line-up of Ozzy Osbourne, Tony Iommi, Geezer Butler and Bill Ward refomred, playing sporadic dates until Dio replaced Ozzy a second time, reforming the Heaven and Hell lineup to tour following the release of the compilation album The Dio Years.

This 2-CD live album was put together from the first two shows after the reunion, at the Birmingham NEC. Along with live versions of tracks such as "Paranoid", "N.I.B.", "Black Sabbath" and "Iron Man", it also features two new studio tracks - "Selling My Soul" and "Psycho Man". This was the only new material to have been officially released by Black Sabbath post-reunion until three new tracks appeared on the post-Ozzy compilation Black Sabbath: The Dio Years in 2007. The two new tracks on Reunion were also released on a single CD in the USA.

Black Sabbath received their only Grammy Award for Best Metal Performance, for the live recording of "Iron Man" from this album.[7]

It was released as a digipak and in a standard 2CD jewel-case.

Though the band were considered legends by this time, this was the first "official" live album featuring Osbourne on vocals. 1980's Live at Last was not approved for release by the band.

Black Sabbath: The Dio Years is a 2007 compilation CD of material from recordings made during vocalist Ronnie James Dio's tenure in the band. The CD contains full album length, remastered tracks culled from all three studio albums; Heaven and Hell (1980), Mob Rules (1981), Dehumanizer (1992), and the live album Live Evil (1982). It also contains three new recorded songs; "The Devil Cried," "Shadow of the Wind," and "Ear in the Wall."

It was reported that the collection was first conceived of as a box set, in the vein of Black Box: The Complete Original Black Sabbath (1970–1978); containing all of the group's albums released from their post-Ozzy Osbourne period, starting from Heaven and Hell to The Eternal Idol. This idea was eventually scrapped, and another box set was planned only to feature the four albums recorded from the Dio era of the band. This second idea was put aside, eventually emerging into The Rules of Hell box set released in the summer of 2008.

In an interview conducted by Martin Popoff, Tony Iommi revealed that in fact three tracks were recorded[8]: "Shadow of the Wind" (a slow tune), "The Devil Cried" (a mid tempo rocker) and "Ear in the Wall" (a fast song), therefore changing the original plan for two new songs to accommodate all three tracks in the compilation. "The Devil Cried" was released as a single on 13 March 2007.[9]

On 23 February 2007, both Eddie Trunk and Sirius Satellite Radio unveiled the song "The Devil Cried" from the upcoming album. Rhino Records subsequently made the track available (for preview only) on 26 February 2007. On the week of 13 March 2007, it became available for download at all digital outlets.

After the recording was completed the members decided to tour under the moniker, Heaven & Hell.[10] Dio and Iommi decided that the working partnership they had achieved in recording the 3 new songs would not be wasted, so they recorded The Devil You Know.

UK Tour Edition

Before the Heaven & Hell tour of the UK in November 2007, a special edition release of The Dio Years was released on 5 November - Black Sabbath: The Dio Years Tour Edition to commemorate the tour. This CD, only to be in print for a limited time, features four songs from the Live at Hammersmith Odeon limited edition live album recently released by Black Sabbath. The four songs, recorded live in 1981 during Black Sabbath's "Mob Rules Tour" are "Neon Knights," "The Mob Rules," "Children of the Grave," and "Voodoo."
