Paranoid (KARAOKE) | Black Sabbath

#KaraokeCovers #KaraokeHits #KaraokeVersions Paranoid is the second studio album by the English rock band Black Sabbath, released in September 1970 through Vertigo Records. It contains several of the band’s signature songs, including “Iron Man“, “War Pigs“ and the title track, which was the band’s only Top 20 hit, reaching number 4 in the UK charts. It is often cited as an influential album in the early development of the heavy metal genre. Paranoid was the band’s only album to top the UK Albums Chart until the release of 13 in 2013. In an effort to capitalize on the recent UK chart success of their eponymous debut album, Black Sabbath returned to the studio with producer Rodger Bain in June 1970, just four months after the album was released. Paranoid was recorded at Regent Sound Studios and Island Studios in London, England. The album’s title track was written as an afterthought. As drummer Bill Ward explains: “We didn’t have enough songs for the album, and Tony (Iommi) just played the guitar lick and that was it. It took twenty, twenty-five minutes from top to bottom.“ In the liner notes to the 1998 live album Reunion, bassist Geezer Butler recounts to Phil Alexander that they wrote the song “in five minutes, then I sat down and wrote the lyrics as quickly as I could. It was all done in about two hours.“ According to Alexander, “Paranoid“ “crystallized the band’s writing process, with Iommi initiating the ideas with his charred riffs, Ozzy (Osbourne) working on a melody, Geezer providing drive and the majority of the lyrics, and Bill Ward locking into a set of often pounding rhythms beneath Butler’s bass rumble.“ The single was released in September 1970 and reached number four on the UK charts, remaining Black Sabbath’s only top ten hit. Most of the songs on Paranoid evolved during onstage improvisational jams. In the Classic Albums documentary on the making of Paranoid, guitarist Tony Iommi recalls that “War Pigs“ came from “one of the clubs“ with Butler adding, “During the song “Warning“ we used to jam that out and that particular night when we were jamming it out Tony just went da-dum!“ In the same documentary, Iommi demonstrates his approach to the guitar solo in the song, explaining that “I always tried to keep the bottom string ringing so it fills it out nicely.“ On “Planet Caravan“, Osbourne sings through a Leslie speaker, with the singer telling Mojo in 2010, “Then Rodger Bain used an oscillator on it – whatever that is. It looks like a fridge with a knob on.“ Source: (album) Thanks for watching! Click the #SUBSCRIBE BUTTON and NOTIFICATION BELL to receive updates on #PinoyKaraokeBattle ‘s latest videos.
