FYI: Not only Led Zeppelin started in 1968, Black Sabbath did as well. So, "long before Sabbath" doesn't make any sense when you're talking about Led Zeppelin... If you like Zeppelin more - good for you; but we all would be interested in knowing who it was, that invented the ultra-heavy riffage before Tony Iommi ... So maybe you could come down from your high horse for a moment and let us get a glimpse of your infinite knowledge - don't keep us waiting too long!

HEY IDIOT, The term "Heavy Metal" started long before Sabbath. It did not mean "dark lyrics", it was grinding guitar, big drums and screaming vocals. Zeppelin and many others were doing it long before and definately better than B/S. Sabbath (like Kiss) was a band we all used to laugh about. SABBATH SUCKS!! You sound like a mis-informed 80's metal maggot.

I first heard this together with the "Black Sabbath" song when I played one of my Mom's vinyl record collections back in 1982. I was 6 years old then. It scared the living hell out of me at first. Then I grew up liking it. Thanks to my Mom. She is a closet heavymetal fan. LOL!!! Sabbath is a major influence when I was growing up and playing in bands, even today.

So much different than anything else going on in 1970! The beggining of it all!~

I think Ozzy's vocals deteriorated over time as excessive drinking and drug use were thrown into the mix. In these early days, days, though, i think his vocals are quite exceptional.

will always be classic, but for me ozzy was a crap live singer!
