Public Domain.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The band figured they had two days to get the album done, and one of those days was reserved for mixing. So they played it live with Ozzy in a vocal booth and never looked back. Iommi remembers that they\u00a0&#8220;never had a second run of most of the stuff.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Ozzy shared fond memories of the session, saying, &#8220;Once we&#8217;d finished, we spent a couple of hours double-tracking some of the guitar and vocals, and that was that. Done. We were in the pub in time for last orders. It can&#8217;t have taken any longer than twelve hours in total. That&#8217;s how albums should be made, in my opinion.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Drummer Bill Ward agreed:\u00a0&#8220;I think the first album is just absolutely incredible. It&#8217;s na\u00efve, and there&#8217;s an absolute sense of unity \u2013 it&#8217;s not contrived in any way, shape or form. We weren&#8217;t old enough to be clever. I love it all, including the mistakes!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Guitarist Tony Iommi was responsible for much of the band&#8217;s groundbreaking sound.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>When he was just 17, he had an accident at a sheet metal factory in which the tips of the fingers of his fretting hand were severed. To compensate for this traumatic loss, he made false fingertips out of a plastic bottle and detuned his guitar to make string bending easier.<\/p>\n<p>Iommi&#8217;s detuned guitar was undeniably &#8220;heavy,&#8221; and backed by bassist Geezer Butler, it was a sonic force. During that era, bass players typically handled a lot of melodic lines, but Butler was actually a guitarist who picked up <a href=\"https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/recording-acoustic-electric-bass-guitars\/\">bass<\/a> for the band. As such, he followed Iommi&#8217;s riffs, &#8220;beefing up&#8221; the sound.<\/p>\n<p>While recording\u00a0<em>Black Sabbath<\/em>, Iommi also discovered his iconic Gibson SG. He had started recording with a Strat, but had to swap instruments because of a malfunctioning pickup. As a left-handed player, he found a right-handed SG and restrung it to be lefty. It&#8217;s hard to imagine him playing anything other than a Gibson SG!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Today, Black Sabbath remain one of the most influential heavy metal bands of all time.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-45372 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" data-src=\"https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Tony-Iommi-Laney.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"700\" height=\"466\" data-sizes=\"auto\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Tony-Iommi-Laney.jpg 700w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Tony-Iommi-Laney-600x399.jpg 600w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Tony-Iommi-Laney-80x53.jpg 80w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Tony-Iommi-Laney-320x213.jpg 320w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Tony-Iommi-Laney-255x170.jpg 255w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Tony-Iommi-Laney-225x150.jpg 225w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Tony-Iommi-Laney-40x27.jpg 40w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Tony-Iommi-Laney-160x107.jpg 160w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Tony-Iommi-Laney-20x13.jpg 20w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Tony-Iommi-Laney-640x426.jpg 640w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Tony-Iommi-Laney-634x422.jpg 634w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Tony-Iommi-Laney-511x340.jpg 511w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Tony-Iommi-Laney-15x10.jpg 15w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Tony-Iommi-Laney-451x300.jpg 451w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Tony-Iommi-Laney-14x9.jpg 14w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Tony-Iommi-Laney-385x256.jpg 385w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Iron Maiden,\u00a0Slayer,\u00a0Metallica,\u00a0Nirvana,\u00a0Korn, Mayhem,\u00a0Venom,\u00a0Judas Priest, Guns N&#8217; Roses,\u00a0Soundgarden, Body Count, Alice in Chains, Anthrax,\u00a0Disturbed,\u00a0Death,\u00a0Opeth,\u00a0Pantera,\u00a0Megadeth,\u00a0the Smashing Pumpkins,\u00a0Slipknot,\u00a0Foo Fighters,\u00a0Fear Factory, Candlemass,\u00a0Godsmack, and Van Halen are just a handful of high-profile acts who have cited Black Sabbath as a major influence.<\/p>\n<p><i>Nativity in Black Volume 1 &amp; 2\u2014<\/i>two gold-selling tribute albums\u2014include Sabbath\u00a0covers by Sepultura, White Zombie, Type O Negative, Faith No More, Machine Head, Primus, System of a Down, and Monster Magnet.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Without\u00a0<em>Black Sabbath<\/em>,\u00a0there would be no heavy metal as we know it today.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=MTHBEbivfZI<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Friday, February 13th, 1970 is inarguably one of the most important dates in music history.
