Guest Agent of Oblivion Posted June 28, 2003 Report Posted June 28, 2003 The combatants: Led God Damn Zeppelin, who beat AC/DC by a cunthair, Vs. Black Fucking Sabbath, who romped on Metallica's sorry asses in grand fashion. Let's get it on. If you don't believe me, go count 'em yerself. I counted, but only bothered remember who won. What do I look like, a fucking abacus?
Guest Scarlet Pimpernel Posted June 28, 2003 Report Posted June 28, 2003 Sabbath. And the point of this tourny was....
Guest Agent of Oblivion Posted June 28, 2003 Report Posted June 28, 2003 To once again reaffirm that Black Sabbath is the best. Black Sabbath.
Guest kingkamala Posted June 28, 2003 Report Posted June 28, 2003 Black Sabbath I think we all knew they would win from the beginning of this ridicoulous tournament.
Guest Agent of Oblivion Posted June 28, 2003 Report Posted June 28, 2003 I had a sick feeling the metallica feebs would come out of the woodwork, which they did against Slayer. Better sense prevailed in the end, though.
Guest CoreyLazarus416 Posted June 28, 2003 Report Posted June 28, 2003 Led Ze...HA! GOT YA GOING THERE, DIDN'T I?! Black fucking Sabbath
Guest redbaron51 Posted June 28, 2003 Report Posted June 28, 2003 no. common sense would be that Iron Maiden would be in the final, and Tool over Led Zeppelin... that said BLACK FUCKING SABBATH
Guest Red Hot Thumbtack In The Eye Posted June 28, 2003 Report Posted June 28, 2003 This is a fucking white wash. I vote Mayhem[/typical extreme metal guy joke] Zabbuth.
Guest WrestlingDeacon Posted June 28, 2003 Report Posted June 28, 2003 Yeah, let's go for the shut out. BLACK SABBATH.
Guest redbaron51 Posted June 28, 2003 Report Posted June 28, 2003 Screw your shut out!! Led Zeppelin! i think he meant Black Sabbath.
Guest The Metal Maniac Posted June 28, 2003 Report Posted June 28, 2003 Can we just stop voting and declare Black Sabbath the winner now?
Guest DrTom Posted June 28, 2003 Report Posted June 28, 2003 Christ on a cracker, this is a goddamn tought call. Led Zeppelin IV vs. Paranoid? ARGH! Jimmy Page vs. Tony Iommi? GAH! "Kashmir" vs. "Iron Man?" FUCK! After a fair bit of deliberating, my vote goes to... LED ZEPPELIN. But goddamn, that's not a choice I'd want to make everyday.
Guest benoitrulz4life Posted June 28, 2003 Report Posted June 28, 2003 Hey asshole, this is my tournament! Black Sabbath.
Guest Red Hot Thumbtack In The Eye Posted June 28, 2003 Report Posted June 28, 2003 benoitrulz4life Posted on Jun 28 2003, 02:28 PM -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hey asshole, this is my tournament! Black Sabbath. And it was clearly time to put the thing to bed...
Guest ZGangsta Posted June 29, 2003 Report Posted June 29, 2003 Funny how so many people here will rip Metallica apart for "sucking since the Black Album" and ignoring their past prominence. Yet when it comes to Sabbath, the group's work post-Ozzy is completely ignored. Dio anyone? Or how about we go listen to the Ian Gillian fronted Born Again. And what about the period in the 80s with the revolving door of musicians while the band (still called Black Sabbath mind you) was putting out bland, unoriginal music. I love the original line up as well, but post-Ozzy they sucked it big time. Hell, the song and video for Zero the Hero alone should kill the band’s overall reputation. You can’t just choose to ignore a large period of a certain band’s history while ripping apart other bands for losing it after a certain time. Zeppelin on the other hand, well I can listen to every song from Good Times Bad Times right through I’m Gonna Crawl and love it. Gotta go with Led Zeppelin

Guest Shaved Bear Posted June 29, 2003 Report Posted June 29, 2003 yikes...led zep IV is just better then anything sabbath ever made Zep
Guest spiny norman Posted June 29, 2003 Report Posted June 29, 2003 I don't understand the Sabbath love. And why it's apparentally such a hands-down decision for them to be the winners. Led Zeppelin. Hands-down.
Guest Agent of Oblivion Posted June 29, 2003 Report Posted June 29, 2003 Because from 1971-1979 they put out great heavy album after great heavy album, all of which were interesting and good, with GREAT songs, composition, delivery, and sound. They're the best example I can think of, of a band that is just so much more than a sum of their parts. Was the post Ozzy stuff as good? Absolutely not. In fact, some of it, like TYR, is absolutely wretched, but at that point, it was hardly even the same band. Even still, the post Ozzy material, no matter how much it paled in comparison, was still influential, particularly to fledgling power metal. They worked the blues into their early material every bit as well as Zeppelin, with tracks like "The Wizard" and "A Bit of Finger/Warning/Sleeping Villiage." Of course, some of you are pretending like Zeppelin didn't put out any iffy material. In through the Out Door, anyone? Or how about Presence? I think both sides of the argument are guilty of ignoring the bands' sub-par material. Either way you look at it, when bands are together that long, and put out so much stuff, it stands to reason that some of it might not be as good as their top-notch recordings. Also, all the live Sabbath I've heard, as well as seeing them live, totally buries the Zeppelin live material.
