Every time I get in to it that of tune lick kills my ears.
I feel bad cause I know some of you are big fans. But fucking A it's painful.
[Apr 28,2005 10:24am - paganmegan ""]
Personally, I love that song

ozzys voice is out of tune also but i do know what you are saying about the guitar being off key in some parts, still a kick as song tho
[Apr 28,2005 10:30am - the_taste_of_cigarettes ""]
maybe it's a good song but apparently Iommi can't tune a guitar.
[Apr 28,2005 10:31am - the_taste_of_cigarettes ""]
I am pretty sure it's the B or the G that's out on it. it's on that riff that escalates.

Sometimes imperfections in songs make them better. Who's guitar is perfectly in tune 100 percent of the time anyways?

probly new strings and as he played they went out of tune it happens

he willed it using his mind.

Are you talking about that riff that sounds like She's So Heavy?
That riff rules and that's exactly how its supposed to sound and that's how it sounds when I play it.
[Apr 28,2005 10:37am - SUBJUGATE ""]
it is called the monkey grip actyally and he had it cut so he could hold the guitar up as he played one handed
for the record i think it looks gay but VAI rules none the less

yeah I think it was the intonation / bend in the neck.
cause it sounds fine on the low chords, but the minute it goes DO DA DO DA DO DO DO it's off by an eighth or quarter tone.
[Apr 28,2005 10:42am - largefreakatzero ""]
Tuning is for rockstars. Anyway, what do you expect -- the guy had like 2 plastic fingers. Snowblind is one of my favorite BS songs -- it's fun to play painfully slow using the extra bar chord over the A & E to give it some extra filthiness.
[Apr 28,2005 10:43am - WhyamIandasshole ""]
The worst is Gene Simons bass in All Hells Breaking Loose. Soooo out of tune.

I agree. It's just really really hard for me to hear past it on that song. It's pretty noticeable. The first time my friend Justin showed me the song I noticed it and I just can't get it around it...it sticks out to me.

its the integrated sports grip, used for clubbing mindless groupies when they get out of hand.
[Apr 28,2005 12:17pm - th3rdknuckle ""]
HA
that's a riot
that's bugged me for over 20 yrs
He's out throughout the whole album, really
Eddie VH is out on 'Hear about it Later' from Fail Warning, too; makes me cringe

Iommi snorted half of Bogota back in those days.
[Apr 28,2005 12:23pm - destroyyoualot ""]
The "Live at Last" version isn't any better... Great song, though.

The other night at practice, Hoser shredded his finger and was bleeding on his geetar, so he duct taped it.
Then like half way thru the set, he says
"Hold on, I gotta adjust my Iommi"
It was fuckin, pretty funny.

those are claw marks from the last fight he had with yngwie

Alright I did some research on the Steve Vai guitar thing....
"Basically, every company approached me for endorsements, and a lot of them make very fine products. But I had an idea for a guitar that I kinda put together; I had a prototype I was using on tour, three of them actually, that were put together by myself, my guitar tech Elwood, and a friend of mine named Joe Despagni - he owns a company called Jem Guitars that makes custom guitars. What I needed was a supply of these guitars at any time, because live, when you start using a lot of different guitars, when you switch the guitars inevitably sound different or feel different or don't react to the amp in the same way. But with these, there's always consistency. And since I change them so much on stage, I had a handle routed in one as a little joke, but it turned out to be really useful. I was standing at the lathe when they were capping the body and I pushed the guy out of the way, snapped a huge line of coke and pulled my dick out and cried. He knew exactly what to do. Route the hole for the handle. History written, Steve Vai style."

that song is awesome, one of my favorite sabbath songs. a better song than any of us could write (probably...) so who cares if it's out of tune?

Awesomely out of tune, yes. Of course, my tape is all stretched-out from being played too many times, so the whole thing sounds like I'm listening to it while huffing gasoline, anyway.

Agreed
[Apr 28,2005 2:53pm - Christraper ""]
Personally I think P-Diddy's remix of snowblind blows away the original. Espescially when they bring in Iommi to play the first riff of the song over and over agian as if its not supposed to go anywhere.

These tapes were real ghetto. They were black with gold print and cost like 2.99 each. Those were sweet. They had totally mangled cover art, and for a while were the only way to get Live At Last.

Bizarre -- my thumb won't go that way. I just bar the A&E with my index finger.

Yeah, its kind of a weird way to play but I grew up on Jimi Hendrix and he used that style a lot so I got used to it.

nah, he probably couldn't... and he certainly wrote his share of clunkers (supertzar anyone?). but that's not really relevant
