How Heavy Metal Band Black Sabbath TRANSFORMED The 70s With A Hard Rock Anthem | Professor of Rock

How Black Sabbath changed radio forever with Paranoid from their second album of the same name. They needed 3 more minutes of music to finish the album. Instead of simply jamming together for 3 inconsequential minutes as their producer suggested, Ozzy Osbourne, Tony Iommi, Geezer Butler and Bill Ward created a track that inadvertently affected the future of rock & roll in the early 70s, Originally they were going to call the album War Pigs.

Paranoid,”….the frenetic charging anthem by the trailblazing British band Black Sabbath, is one of the most influential songs that ushered in the heavy metal movement, and arguably, the track that birthed the sub-genre of Thrash Metal.
Guitarist Tony Iommi & drummer Bill Ward played together in a defunct band named Mythology.
The pair wanted to form a heavy blues rock band, and enlisted vocalist Ozzy Osbourne, and bassist Geezer Butler who were refugees from the group Rare Breed.

The first name they came up with for the new band was Polka Tulk Blues (tulk rhymes with sulk) Thankfully, that moniker did not stick, and they eventually decided on Black Sabbath, after witnessing a crowded matinee screening of the Boris Karloff move of the same name. The group landed a small advance from Vertigo Records and recorded their self-titled debut album the same day they got the money.

Black Sabbath, the album, was released in early 1970- featuring the lead single “Evil Woman."The critics HATED Black Sabbath’s debut record, but the record-buying public LOVED it.
The heavy blues-influenced arrangements and dark, provocative lyrics attracted an immediate following for Sabbath around the world.

After defying critics, and selling over a million units with their introductory record, expectations were significantly higher for the band’s sophomore offering: Much of the material for the 2nd LP was written during the same period that songs were recorded for Black Sabbath’s debut, including a track originally titled “The Paranoid."

“The Paranoid" was recorded in less than 3 days- with the band performing live in the studio. The band dropped “the” and changed the title of the song to “Paranoid,” not because of an intended lyrical hook. The fact is, the word “paranoid” is never used in the song. “Paranoid” was named for it’s dark messaging- the nexus to the sorcery of Black Sabbath. The band wanted to name the second album War Pigs- referring to the title of one of the most popular cuts on the record, but the label felt the title was “too offensive” and convinced the band to go with Paranoid as the name of the album.
