One Response to “Classic Albums: Paranoid”

• By Danny Grier on Jul 4, 2010

  The Classic Album series is one of the best in the business. From artists to producers to sound engineers to famous journalists, Classic Albums dissects the music that matters most. This time around they take on one of Metal’s all time great releases, Black Sabbath’s Paranoid.

  The documentary features new and candid interviews with all four of Sabbath’s original members including vocalist Ozzy Osbourne, guitarist Tony Iommi, bass player Geezer Butler and drummer Bill Ward. Behind the board, showing off the original master tapes is none other than the future famous producer Tom Allom (Def Leppard, Judas Priest). It is fascinating to hear all of the parts separately and then put together as the classic Paranoid was being built.

  Everyone involved tells the story of what it was like to be a member of Black Sabbath touring America and become both famous and infamous at the same time. This is a legendary album by a legendary band. Hearing the sounds and the stories behind “Iron Man,” “War Pigs,” Paranoid,” “Fairies Wear Boots” and “Electric Funeral” will keep you on the edge of your seat.
