They do sound similar to me as far as the rythm and the melody goes, but I would say its most likely a coincidence. There are only so many patterns that sound good in music.
Ah nvm for some reason I read what you said as that they sound similar not that one is inspired from the other, maybe cuz of what the other guy said about the melody
On a side note the manga looks so good I wish I had read it before watching the anime

It’s a cool reference. The composer of Final Fanatsys music took a lot of inspiration from ELP, which you can hear here:

The manga artwork is the reason I decided to read it over watching the anime. It is superb.

@honorarycurry thots? They’re like proto-prog/metal
Nice I wasnt aware Uriah heep was so heavy back in the early 70s
Zeppelin was definitely sabbath’s biggest influence but I believe Uriah Heep like you say, Blue Cheer (

) and other less known bands such as Iron Claw:

were an inspiration too. Of course DP too.
Also have you heard about this band called Coven? It might be one of the first known rock bands to feature occult themes in its music. One of their songs is called black sabbath and one of it’s members calls himself Oz Osborne xD
Geezer Butler was also very interested in the occult at that time but chances are he never got to hear this band because their music was prohibited. The name BS most likely comes from a popular horror movie
Not this nig nog again
Yeah, they’re early stuff is based. Can hear Deep Purples influence on them.
Sorry, I meant to say they were proto progmetal. Like what Rush and Dream Theatre do. I’m unsure if they had any influence on Sabbath.
Based, I will check out Iron Claw right now. I’ve got Vincebus Eruptum(Blue Cheers debut) on vinyl
Yeah, I’m aware of Cloven. Black Widow is another band that heavily influenced the metal imagery especially with their stage performances.

I saw an interview with Iommi regarding Coven, I think the parallels are coincidental at best considering Black Sabbath is a fairly famous horror film and Ozzy was going by that name prior to either bands founding. Osbourne in a game show stated the origins of their band name.
On a side note, have you seen the film Spinal Tap?
Trouble and Witchfinder General are based bands influenced by Black Sabbath.
This is heavy as fuck, Jesus Christ.
Ever hear Sir Lord Baltimore?

great song ruined by a nig in the end
My bad I had just woken up then and didn’t read carefully
Based as fuck. I wish I had metal/hard rock bands on vinyl
I think I’ve heard about it but haven’t listened yet
Yeah it’s a funny coincidence at best. I know it’s common for those named Osbourne to get the Ozzy nickname
I love trouble
Yes this band is amazing, I show this to people who say sabbath alone invented metal
Biblical band.
Yeah, their debut is good as fuck. Have you heard Captain Beyond?

Yes! Learned about it not long ago wondering what happened with Rod Evans. Great prog hard rock…at least the first album is great
this is Real Nigga music

@PointOfNoReturn what do you think about this controversial album?
Based since it has my favorite rock vocalist, Ian Gillan. Thrashed, Disturbing the Priest, Zero the Hero, and Born Again are all great Sabbath songs. Thrashed is like Black Sabbath’s “Highway Star“, lmao.
The unmixed demos, “The Manor Tapes”, is one of my white whale vinyls. Too bad there’s only 300~ pressings and they never pop up for sale.
My only complaint is at some points it can be lyrically weak, or cheesy. Like on Zero the Hero. Which I think Gillan is at fault for.
But, yeah. Zero the Hero is top three Sabbath songs for me.

Ian Gillan is my favourite rock vocalist too. incredible vocal range and tone.
Glad to hear you like it ( haven’t talked to many people who do ) tho I’m not surprised because of Gillan and because it’s really great if you look past some of the lyrics and the production. I think it’s one of my favourite metal albums ever.
for me it is one of these albums that I can fully enjoy from start to finish and by every verse and chord. Some of the lyrics are not only cheesy but weird too, like “keep it warm, rat…” lol. But it’s like every word is chosen carefully to compliment the song fore-mostly melodically and then lyrically wise. The song Born again is like that to me too. I don’t get half of the lyrics but the sound is still perfect, the feelings I get from it are there even if the meaning isn’t ( to me, tho probably I could if I tried, it’s obviously full of metaphors and symbols ).
