(words from the song) 307 00:21:49,321 --> 00:21:55,419 I think we were only at Regent for two days, to make the main tracks. 308 00:21:55,461 --> 00:21:56,951 They had material written, 309 00:21:56,996 --> 00:22:00,557 but I don't think all the lyrics were written and melodies. 310 00:22:00,599 --> 00:22:03,727 It was just like, "Come in," maybe yet two sessions from 10 to 10 311 00:22:03,769 --> 00:22:06,738 and this is how the main tracks on the album turned out. 312 00:22:06,772 --> 00:22:08,433 We didn't worry about what to do overlay 313 00:22:08,474 --> 00:22:12,672 because we knew what's at Island Studios, 314 00:22:12,711 --> 00:22:16,579 there was a new, 16-page editor. 315 00:22:16,615 --> 00:22:20,483 We got the solo we needed with changing speed. 316 00:22:24,690 --> 00:22:27,124 Listen to Tony play alone. 317 00:22:30,929 --> 00:22:32,863 This is where Geezer comes in. 318 00:22:36,468 --> 00:22:37,662 And Bill. 319 00:22:40,472 --> 00:22:42,030 This is the rhythm section. 320 00:22:42,074 --> 00:22:46,636 I can't tell you how important rhythm section for that music 321 00:22:46,679 --> 00:22:48,909 and for the sound of those albums. 322 00:22:48,947 --> 00:22:53,281 If you're listening to Paranoid for the first time, if you, an inexperienced listener, 323 00:22:53,318 --> 00:22:54,615 not a musician or anything, 324 00:22:54,653 --> 00:22:58,316 then you feel the guitar and a crazy vocalist. 325 00:22:58,357 --> 00:23:03,158 But you have no reason rely only on the guitarist, 326 00:23:03,195 --> 00:23:07,256 until you have, really good rhythm section. 327 00:23:07,299 --> 00:23:09,893 This is the best moment in Iron Man - 328 00:23:09,935 --> 00:23:12,733 there is a decrease 329 00:23:12,771 --> 00:23:16,571 and then with a jump, they move on to increasing. 330 00:23:16,608 --> 00:23:18,166 by ten. 331 00:23:21,847 --> 00:23:24,748 Listen to it again and again and then enter the studio, 332 00:23:24,783 --> 00:23:28,446 and try to do it yourself, you'll go crazy. 333 00:23:43,869 --> 00:23:47,066 This is one of the best rhythm sections ever she carried out a revolution at that time. 334 00:23:47,106 --> 00:23:50,701 I've replayed this moment many times saying, "Damn, what a band." 335 00:23:50,743 --> 00:23:53,871 Everyone thinks that the heavy band has there must be a loud guitar. 336 00:23:53,912 --> 00:23:56,210 This is wrong. 337 00:23:56,248 --> 00:23:58,273 There must be a rhythm section. 338 00:23:58,317 --> 00:24:01,514 You have a good drummer and a good bass player who play together, 339 00:24:01,553 --> 00:24:04,989 it gives to other group members freedom of action. 340 00:24:05,023 --> 00:24:10,962 And how they repeat the riff, opening riff... 341 00:24:14,466 --> 00:24:16,866 and change the context of the reef, 342 00:24:16,902 --> 00:24:20,303 actually getting a new one at the output. 343 00:24:20,339 --> 00:24:22,000 This is a really well written song. 344 00:24:22,040 --> 00:24:24,270 few people do this. 345 00:24:24,309 --> 00:24:26,834 Because it's a very simple song. 346 00:24:43,695 --> 00:24:45,356 We've always liked change. 347 00:24:45,397 --> 00:24:47,831 I think this is another Beatles influence, if you want. 348 00:24:47,866 --> 00:24:51,358 Because every Beatles album was... 349 00:24:51,403 --> 00:24:53,997 no song was like the other. 350 00:24:54,039 --> 00:24:57,839 All the songs were different as well as feelings for them. 351 00:24:57,876 --> 00:25:00,674 We have always tried to achieve this. We didn't 352 00:25:00,712 --> 00:25:05,115 like in heavy metal, from one track there are ten at once. 353 00:25:05,450 --> 00:25:11,411 Planet Caravan is very different from everything else what we did before. 354 00:25:11,456 --> 00:25:14,721 This was one of those tracks: "Hmm, should we do this?" 355 00:25:14,760 --> 00:25:18,321 I have to say that when I first I bought Paranoid and listened to it, 356 00:25:18,363 --> 00:25:21,890 I was very disappointed with this bland third track. 357 00:25:21,934 --> 00:25:24,425 I wanted more intense heavy metal. 358 00:25:24,469 --> 00:25:27,927 I just started playing this riff and then we thought... 359 00:25:27,973 --> 00:25:30,999 he was so quiet and Bill liked him, everyone liked it. 360 00:25:31,043 --> 00:25:35,776 And Bill started playing with me, on a small congo. 361 00:25:35,814 --> 00:25:37,748 I was just playing... 362 00:25:59,404 --> 00:26:01,736 And actually this is the main part of the song, 363 00:26:01,773 --> 00:26:05,539 and we played and took turns,, with Bill on the conga, 364 00:26:05,577 --> 00:26:06,703 and Ozzy sang. 365 00:26:06,745 --> 00:26:10,738 We liked it, it was nice and it relaxing. 366 00:26:10,782 --> 00:26:12,409 So this is how it turned out. 367 00:26:12,451 --> 00:26:17,150 We got vocals from Ozzy 368 00:26:17,189 --> 00:26:22,388 which had a good melody, but with completely different lyrics. 369 00:26:44,383 --> 00:26:46,851 We started jamming and so did he 370 00:26:46,885 --> 00:26:50,013 I sang along to everything I heard... 371 00:26:50,055 --> 00:26:55,152 He has extraordinary talent 372 00:26:55,193 --> 00:26:59,653 to create all those vocal parts. 373 00:26:59,698 --> 00:27:02,496 He makes them out of thin air... 374 00:27:02,534 --> 00:27:06,766 And it was almost always like this what he came up with 375 00:27:06,805 --> 00:27:08,067 we moved forward with it. 376 00:27:27,326 --> 00:27:30,193 He was quite good at coming up with melodies, I dug it out in him, 377 00:27:30,228 --> 00:27:34,255 He could come up with ballads just as well. 378 00:27:34,299 --> 00:27:36,699 You know, good melodies for ballads. 379 00:27:36,735 --> 00:27:39,533 For a long time he circled around one word, 380 00:27:39,571 --> 00:27:43,007 and I said, "Yeah, that's great," and wrote everything else. 381 00:28:04,930 --> 00:28:08,832 We came up with it in the studio 382 00:28:08,867 --> 00:28:13,566 but we didn't want the song to be about ordinary love nonsense. 383 00:28:13,605 --> 00:28:18,736 And we had a trip through the Universe with your loved one. 384 00:28:18,777 --> 00:28:22,338 Instead of, "Let's go down to the pub and let's get some chips" or something. 385 00:28:22,381 --> 00:28:27,080 It's something about space ship in the starry distances, 386 00:28:27,119 --> 00:28:30,384 and they turned out unique romantic weekend. 387 00:28:47,506 --> 00:28:52,375 Tony used Django Reinhardt love and Joe Pass. 388 00:28:52,411 --> 00:28:57,678 and he played what didn't fit 389 00:28:57,716 --> 00:29:00,412 into heavier material but it gave him a chance, you know, 390 00:29:00,452 --> 00:29:04,013 show your roots. 391 00:29:04,056 --> 00:29:06,923 We did a little at the end jazz solo. 392 00:29:31,883 --> 00:29:33,407 Or whatever it was. 393 00:29:48,533 --> 00:29:52,128 When he left school he got a job in a factory, 394 00:29:52,170 --> 00:29:54,195 and he was left-handed, so... 395 00:29:54,239 --> 00:29:58,300 His fingertips were cut off in a metal processing machine. 396 00:29:58,343 --> 00:30:02,404 The factory manager came to see me, 397 00:30:02,447 --> 00:30:06,110 and brought me the EP and said, you know, 398 00:30:06,151 --> 00:30:10,781 "Put it on" and I replied, "I'm not going to I'm not interested in listening." 399 00:30:10,822 --> 00:30:14,883 He said "just play it and listen to it" which is what I did. 400 00:30:14,926 --> 00:30:19,727 And it was Django Reinhardt, I had never heard it before that moment. 401 00:30:19,764 --> 00:30:22,892 I thought his acting was great and then this guy tells me 402 00:30:22,934 --> 00:30:28,236 "He also had an accident. and he lost two fingers." 403 00:30:29,274 --> 00:30:30,764 And... 404 00:30:30,809 --> 00:30:34,768 And this inspired me, gave me a boost. 405 00:30:34,813 --> 00:30:40,445 Well, you know, someone does it and manages it. 406 00:30:40,485 --> 00:30:42,453 Planet Caravan is a song not built on a reef, 407 00:30:42,487 --> 00:30:47,390 but she demonstrates his agility and versatility, 408 00:30:47,425 --> 00:30:49,893 and it turned out so atmospheric, 409 00:30:49,928 --> 00:30:53,125 but it is often not noticed in the work of Sabbath, 410 00:30:53,165 --> 00:30:56,157 because everyone remembers those heavy riffs, 411 00:30:56,201 --> 00:30:59,261 and those tracks characteristic of them. 412 00:30:59,304 --> 00:31:01,272 But there's a lot of subtlety to what he does. 413 00:31:01,306 --> 00:31:03,831 These guys were probably still kids until then. 414 00:31:03,875 --> 00:31:07,333 and tried to find their way in the music scene. 415 00:31:07,379 --> 00:31:11,281 We tried to improve our approach. 416 00:31:11,316 --> 00:31:15,946 I think we all felt anger. There were riots everywhere. 417 00:31:15,987 --> 00:31:21,084 Paris, America, students were shot. 418 00:31:22,527 --> 00:31:28,329 We understood everything in '67 and '68, revolution will never happen. 419 00:31:28,366 --> 00:31:31,699 You know, it was like... a dream 420 00:31:34,072 --> 00:31:35,903 And then it’s time to “return to reality” 421 00:31:35,941 --> 00:31:39,502 Electric Funeral track which really had that meaning... 422 00:31:39,544 --> 00:31:43,071 apocalyptic view of the world. 423 00:31:43,114 --> 00:31:46,948 I think the main aspect was the fact 424 00:31:46,985 --> 00:31:50,011 that Sabbath knew what was going on in the world around them. 425 00:31:51,556 --> 00:31:56,118 In the 1950s and '60s, there was paranoia about nuclear war. 426 00:31:56,161 --> 00:31:58,356 You should have seen... 427 00:31:59,998 --> 00:32:04,662 propaganda films about what to do, especially American ones. 428 00:32:04,703 --> 00:32:08,605 First you have to duck down. Then take cover. 429 00:32:08,640 --> 00:32:11,803 Here they go to school on this beautiful spring day. 430 00:32:11,843 --> 00:32:14,277 But no matter where they go, or what they do 431 00:32:14,312 --> 00:32:19,682 they always remember what to do in case of danger of a nuclear explosion. 432 00:32:20,051 --> 00:32:22,110 It's a bomb! Get down and shut up! 433 00:33:09,701 --> 00:33:12,636 Ozzy has always been great at interpreting... 434 00:33:12,671 --> 00:33:16,402 If he or I wrote texts, then they always came 435 00:33:16,441 --> 00:33:19,706 from the depths of Ozzy's soul. 436 00:33:19,744 --> 00:33:23,180 And he got a great voice what could I say about things 437 00:33:23,214 --> 00:33:24,545 you know, serious, threatening things. 438 00:33:27,786 --> 00:33:30,755 Here's a good example of how vocals, guitar and bass 439 00:33:30,789 --> 00:33:34,384 generally keep one melody, and create a riff. 440 00:33:34,426 --> 00:33:36,519 Great effect. 441 00:33:41,599 --> 00:33:43,658 All lines are like this. 442 00:33:44,102 --> 00:33:47,435 Not a single Sabbath song Paranoid is not traditional, 443 00:33:47,472 --> 00:33:49,997 does not follow the format. 444 00:33:50,041 --> 00:33:54,205 I mean, poetry, choir, solo. 445 00:33:54,245 --> 00:33:55,234 They never did. 446 00:33:55,280 --> 00:34:00,274 Another thing they did it's a constant change of pace. 447 00:34:00,318 --> 00:34:02,878 I think the change of pace came from 448 00:34:02,921 --> 00:34:06,322 that we progressed in songs, 449 00:34:06,358 --> 00:34:08,189 sometimes we'd come up with a riff 450 00:34:08,226 --> 00:34:10,786 but they didn’t know how to get to him. 451 00:34:10,829 --> 00:34:12,592 And we could think about it 452 00:34:12,630 --> 00:34:16,828 and write a few more at this time various songs, 453 00:34:16,868 --> 00:34:21,862 and then return to that song and decide how to work with it, 454 00:34:21,906 --> 00:34:27,037 until we understood how to play the next riff. 455 00:34:27,078 --> 00:34:29,012 Some days we had a lot of ideas 456 00:34:29,047 --> 00:34:31,208 and we tried to try everything. 457 00:34:31,249 --> 00:34:35,151 and we left some things that worked. 458 00:34:35,186 --> 00:34:37,586 Ultimately, the result was a song. 459 00:34:38,022 --> 00:34:40,855 And here we come, to a completely different composition. 460 00:34:43,728 --> 00:34:47,095 Let's hear what Bill does here. 461 00:34:50,402 --> 00:34:51,391 And Geezer. 462 00:34:54,439 --> 00:34:55,428 Here's the riff. 463 00:35:18,663 --> 00:35:23,862 The sound is rooted in the places where we are from originally, these were industrial cities, and.. 464 00:35:24,869 --> 00:35:29,897 And I think it has a lot to do with things 465 00:35:29,941 --> 00:35:33,001 you know, the ones we sang about, and in which they participated. 466 00:35:33,044 --> 00:35:36,741 There were a lot of bandits where we lived, 467 00:35:36,781 --> 00:35:42,344 and we didn't want to be a part of it. We wanted to, you know, be in music. 468 00:35:42,387 --> 00:35:45,515 But I guess it gets to the point what are you writing, 469 00:35:45,557 --> 00:35:48,526 this is all part of you subconscious level, you know, 470 00:35:48,560 --> 00:35:52,018 when you create a verse or a riff 471 00:35:53,364 --> 00:35:56,891 it's like an industrial kind of rock, if you want. 472 00:35:57,235 --> 00:36:01,069 Press attitude towards Black Sabbath was equally negative everywhere. 473 00:36:01,105 --> 00:36:06,270 I don't think anyone understood at the time that the group created. 474 00:36:06,311 --> 00:36:08,506 It's like the dark power of metal. 475 00:36:08,546 --> 00:36:11,310 They once described them in an article like this: 476 00:36:11,349 --> 00:36:14,750 "spend the day on the runway lane number 1 at Heathrow. 477 00:36:14,786 --> 00:36:17,914 Four stoned stoners invite you to eat rat salad." 478 00:36:17,956 --> 00:36:20,925 I think. When compared to these peers, 479 00:36:20,959 --> 00:36:24,417 like Zeppelin go Deep Purple, Sabbath seemed like the evil sisters. 480 00:36:24,462 --> 00:36:29,991 They were like illegitimate children from the backwoods of Aston to Birmingham 481 00:36:30,034 --> 00:36:34,300 Nobody gave us a good review There wasn't a single good review of the album. 482 00:36:34,339 --> 00:36:37,775 We liked this path - the more they hated us, the more the teenagers loved us 483 00:36:37,809 --> 00:36:40,801 They "beat" us to death, and... 484 00:36:40,845 --> 00:36:43,905 And they started to seem funny when album sales increased 485 00:36:43,948 --> 00:36:46,815 because they started to get upset. 486 00:36:46,851 --> 00:36:51,982 The children were looking for music.
