At
a time when other bands were heavily into peace, love and flower
power, Sabbath set itself apart with music about drugs, the occult,
and anger at The Establishment. They were also unique in their
incorporation of gothic and folk music elements. Their unique sound,
coupled with Ozzy Osbourne’s wild onstage theatrics helped set the
stage for today’s shock rock artists.
From
the TV-series (BBC2) description:
Formed
in the late 60s, Black Sabbath's lyrics, looks and lifestyle got them
into trouble with moral guardians on both sides of the Atlantic. This
programme charts the band's career, showing how friendships forged
between the four original members 40 years ago have survived to the
present.
(Duration: 50 minutes)
