it is nice to pay respect to the masters, but I find this version unlistenable. Sounds like a country and western version.

I wonder why they picked this song? Brown is a country rock type and the Foo Fighters are a rock band. I would think they would cover one of their own songs? Similar to the Crossroads TV series. I was rocking to the tight instrumental playing.

..but I did this better at a karaoke bar than these guys did. At least I didn't stumble over the words.

I remember buying their first album. Took it home and listened to it. Freaked me out. To dark and demonic. Gave it to a friend. Wish I had kept it now.

How drunk do you need to get to try and sing a Black Sabbath song?


 

Being drunk worked for Ozzy., posted on October 16, 2014 at 20:24:25

He's not exactly known for having a great singing voice.

 

I always thought Ozzy had a pretty strong voice, posted on October 17, 2014 at 14:43:08

better than some of his contemporaries, Ian Gillan for example.

I caught part of a video from Oz Fest. It was the reunion of Black Sabbath. I thought they all nailed what I remember. Ozzie actually sounds clear and good. Amazing since he sounds mush mouthed when he gives interviews. I made the comment about being drunk because I don't know any males who would do Karaoke.

Ian just can't do it anymore. Saw Judas Priest last month, and Rob Halford sounds amazing.

Just forget there's people there and immerse yourself into the song. If it's a song you really love and it moves you at home then there's no difference.
