Leadfoot Posted December 7, 2022 Share Posted December 7, 2022 (edited) Hi everyone. I haven't been around in a while. Life gets in the way sometimes. Anyway, I was messing around in the studio while recovering from a hip replacement and threw down this old Sabbath song. Hope you like it!

Byron Dickens Posted December 9, 2022 Share Posted December 9, 2022 Nailed it! Great job on the guitar and getting Tony Iommi's feel and inflections. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

markno999 Posted December 9, 2022 Share Posted December 9, 2022 Would have a hard time discerning from the original. Recording is a little cleaner, more modern, but it sounds very much like the original. Surprising how you are able to capture Ozzy's tone and vibe, I have never heard anyone really come close. Really good listen. Regards 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really good listen. Regards Thanks Mark! I really appreciate you giving it a listen. Believe it or not, for better or worse, my voice just sounds like that. There were parts in the song that I emphasized consonants or something like Ozzy did in the song, but the rest is pretty much my natural tone. I'm glad it sounds close to the original to you. That's what I was going for. I spent days just trying to recreate Bill Ward's drum track with BFD3, trying to match his wandering tempo and get the fills and overall feel right. I think it came out pretty close. Thanks again man! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wookiee Posted December 10, 2022 Share Posted December 10, 2022 @Leadfoot One of my favourites from the Sabbath Bloody Sabbath album, I think this is a good cover, mix sounds good here on my Events, little more weight in the kick would be cool, but it is your mix and if it make your ears smile then it's good. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SUPAREELS Posted December 10, 2022 Share Posted December 10, 2022 Hi m8, this one really is great ... all the way, your vox is not strained at all and the mix ( to me ) is SPOT ON! .. so unique to get a great vocal with metal ... love it great cover!

Thank you @Wookiee It's one of my favorites too! I was going back and forth about how much kick to put in it. Maybe I should go back over it again. I appreciate you taking the time to check it out!

Harry C. Posted December 22, 2022 Share Posted December 22, 2022 I have not been on this forum for a long time. This cover song is the best black sabbath cover song I have ever heard. Comes very very close to the original. Especially the voice overwhelms you! Like Ozzy in the 70's. Damn good performance bro!!! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bats brew Posted December 30, 2022 Share Posted December 30, 2022 wow, missed this for a month! i loved the 'sabbath bloody sabbath' album when it came out... played along with all these songs. excellent 'pure' cover. with your voice you could cover almost any sabbath... maybe not 'hole in the sky'....LOL, holy crap, that song. great guitar tones, excellent drum programming, great groove. yea, this would fool most people casually listening, they'd say something like "hey, sabbath remastered their old stuff again! great!" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jesse Screed Posted December 30, 2022 Share Posted December 30, 2022 I can't agree with the rest of the comments enough. Simply a great cover. I really don't know much about sabbath, but you guys rocked it hard. I mean that wholeheartedly. The only thing that struck me, and it is maybe just me, but it looked like you were using a teleprompter, but then again, maybe the videographer was flashing her attributes, in which case it was amazing that you remembered the lyrics! Do some more of these please. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
