Love the Sabbath! I think my favorite album is: Paranoid Fav song: War Pigs i saw them on their reunion tour and they still were pretty good!! Gov’t Mule does some great Sabbath covers if anyone is interested in checking them out, you should be able to find it pretty easily (war pigs, sweet leaf) ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by da\_pope \* > **Joe K: For a ‘jazz’ influence, check out the 20 minute version of ‘warning’ on the live at last album** Has anyone ever heard the original version of Warning by Ainsley Dunbar’s Retaliation? I THINK Warning is one of only 2 songs Sabbath covered in the studio (the other being Crow’s Evil Woman). Live is another story, can anyone say Blue Suede shoes? ---

aite…I don’t know what happened to the message that I posted but slee, thanks for picking up where I left off. Joe K: you hit it on the dot. Before the Black Sabbath became the infamous group we love and adore, they used to be a blues band called Earth. I just heard the extended version of Wicked World on the Past Lives CD and there is apart where Iommi, Butler and Ward play this jazzy little jazzy shuffle. I heard in the Don’t Blame Me DVD, you can see Ozzy croon Blue Suede Shoes with his blues band. I haven’t seen it yet, but I must say, I’m quite intrigued. My favorite Black Sabbath album used to be Paranoid until I heard Past Lives. Here is my review: It’s a remastered, repackaged version of Live At Last, in a double CD combo. IMHO, the bonus CD is off the hook. It has new renditions of Hole in the Sky, Symptom of the Universe, and Megalomania. It also features classic trademarks like Iron Man, War Pigs, etc. Right now it’s in high rotation in my cd player. ---

I just wanted to add a vote for _Planet Caravan_ since no one else had mentioned it. ---

I’ve been on a bit of a Sabbs kick lately, with **The Osbournes** being pretty much the only show I’ve seen on TV the last few months. I gave a list of my favourite songs in the other thread, but I’m going to put in another mention of the Dio-era epics, which bring back so many great memories. Definitely the best thing Ronnie’s ever done. Does anyone remember a compilation LP called **The Best** , which had a bat on the front cover, with flames, and great songs from their first five records? That one covers some lesser known classics like _Snowblind_ and _Changes_ (no, I’m not kidding). ---

I love the Osbournes. I think next season is going to be pretty interesting. I heard they are going to tape Sharon’s chemotherapy and they also adopted Kelly’s friend, Robert. His mother just past away from cancer herself and apparently Sharon was pretty close with her. ---

**Ferrous** - that is funny. Guess that makes my kids _Children of the Grave_! > [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Mojo \* > \*\*I just wanted to add a vote for _Planet Caravan_ since no one else had mentioned it. \*\* **Pantera** did a great cover of this on _Far Beyond Driven_. I still can’t watch _SouthPark_ without singing _Sabbath Bloody Sabbath_ (You Bastards!). NP: **Witchery** - _Dead, Hot and Ready_ ---

I/m Black Sabbath fan, but only have the Paranoid album. All other albums (We Sold Our Souls For Rock Anf Roll) were heard ar a friend’s house. I would habe to say **Paranoid** would be my favorite so far. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/black-sabbath-fans-a-different-poster-gives-it-a-try/123058.md?page=1)
