TONY MARTIN WAS THE BEST, THEN DIO,THEN GILLAN,... WHO WAS OZZY?

I only know hearsay,something to do with a frightening experience Toni Iommi had after being gifted a very old latin tomb of black magic. Apparently they consulted a "white wizard"about it and were told to wear crosses.

Hand of doom is an anti heroin song. the song was inspired by all the needles left on the ground after black sabbath played a concert one night.

Ozzy.

Jews consider the Torah to be the word of God and consider the Christian additions to the Hebrew scriptures to be spurious. Christians generally consider the Torah to be the word of God, since they include it as part of the Christian Bible (the books of Genesis through Deuteronomy), while Christians generally consider the Koran to be spurious. Islam considers both Christianity and Judaism to be divinely inspired and accepts the Christian Bible (including the Jewish Bible) as being largely the word of God, except that they consider Jews and Christians to have made mistakes in transmitting some of the stories, notably where there are conflicts with the Koran. Note that, while Jews consider the Christian and Islamic scriptures to be spurious, they do not deny that these contain genuine wisdom and that they can be used to teach a righteous path in life that is acceptable to God. Christians generally have a harder time with non-Christian religions because Christianity has long taught that it is the only path to salvation.

Tony Martin was the person who sang in that album.

Black Sabbath used to wait at bigger-bands concerts in case they didn't show up. They never thought that the plan would work until one day the band Jethro Tull didn't show up at one of their concerts and the manager of the concert let Black Sabbath go on instead. The fans were reluctant at first but by the end of the concert they were going crazy for Black Sabbath.

Black is a metaphor to define Dark, Sin, etc.

Sabbath means Worship.

So the polarity of its meaning is "Worship Sin", "Worship Darkness". and so on.

Worship Satan/Lucifer, in the eyes of Christianity, who views Satan/Lucifer as a Dark, Sinful Deity. Where as Christians view Jesus a Deity of Light and Righteous

The meaning doesn't necessarily reflect on anti-Christians, It could be used with any Worship ideology to oppose its fundamental values.

Kabbalah is a stream of mystical thought. Mysticism as such is not magic. However, one stream of Kabbalism led to the development of what came to be known as "practical Kabbalah." That is, mystical practices intended to achieve practical effects in this world. Practical Kabbalah is, for all practical purposes, indistinguishable from magic. Is it black magic? Black magic is generally defined as magic that uses the forces of evil to accomplish its goals. Kabbalah is all about God.

Some streams of Kabbalah, however, went in very strange directions. Shabbatai Tzvi and his followers, a group strongly influenced by Kabbalah, believe that the way to redemption led through sin, and that, to bring about the redemption of the world, they had to break all of the commandments. Jacob Frank took this to an extreme. Apparently it was really fun, but I'm skeptical that he ever accomplished anything. Both Tzvi and Frank were forced to convert (to Islam in one case and to Catholicism in the other case).

Bob Dylan

that was the original name i think

No, not really. It's mainly a marketing gimmick.

If you're looking for praise & worship music from Black Sabbath, you won't find it. If you had a specific song in mind, you're probably thinking of "After Forever".

He is not buried in Texas. Ronnie James Dio was laid to rest after a memorial service at the Hall of Liberty at Forest Lawn Memorial Park in L.A.

Black Sabbath is actually created in the end of 1968-th, so in the year 1960 there was no leader... Quote from the official website - "

Tony Iommi & Bill Ward were in a band called Mythology (which played it's last gig on Sat Jul 13, 1968), and Geezer Butler with Ozzy were in a band called Rare Breed. Long story short, these groups broke up and the lads hooked up in 1968 to form a new band called The Polka Tulk Blues Band. (Might have also been called The Polka Tulk Electric Blues Band, but I'm not sure on that.)

During this time of the band's history, they had a few names. They were known as the Polka Tulk Blues Band (at some point then, they were a six piece band, too), then just Polka Tulk, and the name that most people tend to associate them with in the 60's, Earth. Sabbath played a lot of blues back then, and did the club circuit thing while touring as Earth. That led to one of the most well known stories from this era.. Apparently, there was another band touring England with the name of Earth as well, and that led to a club booking "Black Sabbath Earth" when they meant to book the other band, which played music that was NOTHING like our lads play. Led to a very confused band and audience. It was from that gig that led the band to change their name to something that would definitely NOT be confused with something else, hence the name Black Sabbath was born. "

If you are referring to the song "N.I.B." by Black Sabbath, I think they called it "Nativity In Black".

OZZY is what its known for..Black Sabbath is known to been at the height of their during the ozzy years, and more than arguably the core of what people thought black sabbath was, and not to discount dio's 2 albums, (i always liked mob rules best, others disagree strongly, they think heaven and hell, but they would be wrong or mistaken).....

every and any singer with black sabbath after has been , "just another singer"....

not to discount any of their time in the band, but cmon....

It's from a Boris Karloff's 1963 horror movie called "Black Sabbath". The band was originally called Earth but when they found out that there was another band called Earth they changed their name to Black Sabbath. Don't wanna delete the last persons answer because its partially right but the name actually came from their first song on their first album which is also the song that lead people to believe they were satanic

reword the black sabbath wikipedia page as if you did it yourself but make sure you do work cited if you're in high school to university.

A "G" harmonica is used, so the song would be in a key of "D".

Ronnie James Dio appears as the lead vocalist on the Black Sabbath albums "Heaven & Hell", "Mob Rules", "Live Evil", "Dehumanizer", and "Live at Hammersmith Odeon."

Absolutely not ! It's simply the name of a rock group. They chose their name from a 1963 horror film Black Sabbathstarring Boris Karloff - which was showing at a cinema across the road from their rehearsal studio.
