Black Sabbath should have been inducted around 1995 (around the time Led Zep were inducted). Really late to induct them now. It's almost like an insult to them.
they didnt invent grunge, they were treated well because they wrote great music and changed the whole too music. there is alot more to why they were inducted than being a grunge band.
After Deep Purple, Yes, Judas Priest, UFO, Scorpions, Thin Lizzy and Iron Maiden. But knowing the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, they're probably gonna induct the fuckin Backstreet Boys before Slayer
Lars said it. Without Black Sabbath there would be no heavy metal. They put the heavy doom filled sound into a perfect storm of blues and rock. It kicked my ass. I was mind blown. I am still in awe of them. Well said Lars. Well said.
@@pruneda95 where is the rest of your Spanish? Funny how you must be intellectually and culturally limited if that is all you can muster and with such an empty life that you felt the need to get sth out of trying to attack strangers on the internet, who most likely are able to speak fluently more than a single language and reply do racist ur dhurs with more than 'murica, guns and burguers ;)
Stage fright isn't something I ever thought I'd see James exhibit. Not the guy who regularly yells "we came here to kick your ass,repeat after me,DIE DIE DIE". It's weird to see him being shy
If you were a huge Sabbath fan from childhood and were asked to induct your musical idols into the RRHOF(which really is a huge joke if you're a long time metal fan)you'd be humble and get misty eyed too.As James said Sabbath made a nine year old boy break out of his shell.
I love Iron Maiden but Bruce is a dick lol. This is known. Dude has legendary pipes, especially after having throat cancer, but he does have a history of being a Douche sometimes lol. I guess you could probably say that about most people though.
@@morningstar3188 I agree most are full of themselves however disrespect in any form is not cool speaking bad on ozzy during that tour ok was bad but the band of Maiden didn't say a word yet Steve Nicko and the boys got pelted with eggs wasn't the way to handle it.
Lars does a lovely job here .... it mattered a lot to him, and though he's a bit nervous, to me, that is more endearing that he is not comfortable up there in a way. He says what he cares about and doesn't dumb himself down. He knows the history of NWOBHM and i'm glad he didn't edit himself for fear of what some people might label as pretentious, because it's not. Lars is not the asshole that so many people have labelled him as being.
He was choking up talking about his childhood. Black Sabbath meant so much to the both of them, and James had a pretty rough childhood, and Sabbath was that sound that moved him and defined everything he felt
Black Sabbath is the greatest heavy metal band ever! And anyone who disagrees ? Your weird. But I do have to give Metallica kudos for helping the spark stay lit!
When James' voice starts to crack, I can't help but get a little teary-eyed myself. What he says is so absolutely true. I remember being 10yrs. old and walking down my elementary school hallway singing Iron Man. The 1st time I heard that from my older sister's room, my life changed forever. I play the bass because of Geezer and Steve Harris. Black f**kin' Sabbath!!
James Hetfield basically represented every at one time 10 year old who discovered Black Sabbath and had them take over their life.... He was speaking for millions who shared the same experience.. It could have been me or a million others giving that same speech.... Only difference he's a MILLIONAIRE yes but Black Sabbath fans share the same fandom.
Sabbath inducted so late but metallica as soon as they were eligible were inducted......James and cliff should of mentioned how much cliff loved Sabbath..at least Lars mentioned the 86 Ozzy tour
Arron P. you gotta remember that the audience aren't all Metallica or Sabbath fans so they're not going to want to hear all the intricate details of both bands, so that's why a brief overview was given instead. Plus they'd be on a time limit anyway.
But deep purple inducted too late in 2016 after Metallica , rhcp how bad it is Jon lord was an important memeber of band but he died in 2012 he inducted posthumously how bad it is and they sold more albums than Black Sabbath.
wow, hetfields speech made me tear a little bit, my story is exactly the same, i was little and i played my brothers records in the forbidden stereo when he wasnt home and it was my outlet, and still continues to be. awesome speech \m/
Lars gets a lot of shit, some of it is deserved...some of it isn't. He made a great speech in honor of his heroes....and mine as well. *LONG LIVE THE SABBATH!!!!!!*
Currently drunk watching this as two of my favorite bands and inspirations of all time commute over their stories... personally, a highly emotive moment as I sit in my Miami Beach hotel room simply in awe of the mammoths of METAL.
James’s speech makes me tear up every time I watch it, because as much as I feel the same about Sabbath, Metallica is the band who had that same impact on me as a 9 year old kid. God bless Black Sabbath and Metallica who help so many angry troubled and heavy souls reach out of themselves and connect through the miracle of music which sounds, speaks and feels exactly what they are experiencing.
i saw them on their first u.s. tour, opened for grand funk. yikes, i'm old! but we all knew these guys were something else. there may be more technically adept, more electronically gadgeted, computer mixing savvy... but Sabbath were the first, the pioneers venturing into uncharted areas. To this day, the proof of their greatness is that their music stands, listenable, modern, and HEAVY. all hail THE ORIGINALS....
What a speech and it is true, Black Sabbath is one of the greatest bands ever to exist. Not your everyday person knows them but for music lovers they show that a group of lads can make some of the best music ever written to define and change a genre.
It should be called the Rock and Roll hall of Shame simply because it exists. It is simply a stupid idea that achieves nothing. It is utterly pointless.
And that was my first time to see Ozzy & Metallica! May 1986, The Ultimate Sin tour. Got to meet James that night too! Quite a thrill for a 16 yr old girl!
Yeah, I'm 43 now and I am a HUGE Metallica fan, have been since 1986, but that is when I discovered Ozzy also (Ultimate Sin and Master of Puppets changed me). Then, a year later, a friend gave me a mixed tape that had the "Speak of the Devil" album songs on it and I was like "What the fuck is this?" These aren't Ozzy songs." (I then had all of his albums up to the Tribute album) That's when. I discovered Black Sabbath. Changed my fucking life man. I drove home last weekend from seeing my kids and jammed to all from 1970 to 1978. It still isn't getting old.
Black Sabbath are the true godfathers of metal. They originated an entire sub genre of music. How many artists can say that? Not too fckng many. These creators and innovators, brilliant in their originality, were the first to translate horror films into musical form. With power and sludge, a one of a kind frontman and vocalist, and for the time incredibly unique lyrics and supreme musicality, and a sound totally and completely original, Sabbath catapulted music forward into a new era of sound. Personally speaking, when I was 13, decades and decades after the band had already disbanded, it was the discovery of their music, and Ozzy, that formed part of the bedrock foundation of my musical awakening. Similar to what Lars said, Without Sabbath, there would be no me as I am today. 🖤
you know if "the osbournes" hadn't been so popular, black sabbath's induction could have taken another 10 years to go through (if ever). critics hated them more than they hated rush
In my opinion the 2 most important Heavy Metal bands of all time are Black Sabbath and Metallica. Also in my opinion the best Metal bands I have ever seen live are Black Sabbath and Metallica.
A lot too late to be honest, sabbath is the pioneer band, greatest heavy metal band of all time I was lucky enough to be alive when I saw their end of the beginning tour and honestly speaking I have seen Metallica, Guns and Roses, Iron Maiden etc, these are legendary bands no doubt but Black Sabbath is and will always be Metal Gods now and forever Bow down to the Gods Bow down to Sabbath 😇😇😇
So glad they made Sabbath's first four albums available for streaming. I can honestly say that's some of the best rock music i've ever heard from that period. Yes there's alot of 'heavy metal' influence there but it's just pure goddamn rock and roll, a little on the hard side but it's great stuff. I thought they were just about Iron Man and Paranoid but they made some really great albums. I'm late to the party but I agree with most in saying this was way past time.
He always is when he has no guitar hanging from his shoulders. The Gigs in early 90's when his hand was injured and a roadie played his parts and Het only had a Mic to hold on to are in a sweet way cringy. It's like guitars are his rpg shield granting him +1000 determination and charisma :D
You gotta give Lars credit. His speech was excellent and no one else could have done it better. You could see the humility he had and the honour he felt when talking about his heroes. I can definitely understand the reason behind the gum chewing and the F bombs. It could be viewed as a safety net in a way that it calmed his nerves, as this was a big deal to him and one he'll remember forever and he wanted the speech to be perfect in every way possible. To all the dickheads shitting on Lars, prove that you could do better.
I can clearly remember, mainly because it had the same effect that James speaks of. Of being at an amusement park at around 9 or 10 years old hanging at the arcade. which was mainly pinball machines at the time. an over the speakers from the jukebox in the place played " The Wizard". I think my ears, or at least the part of my brain that deals with music, had an orgasm. I was sold hook line and sinker. To this day, even though I play a lot of different styles of music on guitar.. I still break out into some Sabbath here and there. And most of my friends that play, will join.
You can really see how both are fanyboying so much and are barely able to utter those words. Amazing. They truly found themselves again as friends after skom.
Judas Priest should have inducted black sabbath in 1995 , Judas Priest is the 2nd most influential heavy metal band ever next to black sabbath , black sabbath was inducted 11 years late that is bullshit , the hall of fame gave led Zeppelin a fucking two hour ceremony in 1995 , black sabbath deserved better than this
Foxy the Silver Fox the Rock hall of fame is nothing more but a popularity contest yes Metallica is massively popular , metallica has a very strong commercial sound , black sabbath , Judas Priest , and iron maiden does not have that for example there is no way iron maidens rime of the ancient mariner is more commercial than enter sandman , but it is far more complex
+Amogh Harish (gadgetroid) nah not because of that its because posers inducted sabbath. or maybe Ronnie isn't in the building damn that man has the singing voice of God. r.I.p.
Amogh Harish - Umm... they were pretty fucking famous with Dio, too. Heaven and Hell outsold all other Sabbath albums combined within a few months of its release. I heard every damn song from the record on the radio. Eventually, some other Sabbath records surpassed H&H in sales, but at the time, that record resurrected a band that was limping along for a couple of years and releasing some of its weakest material. Dio gave them a new life and it could be argued that Sabbath wouldn’t be what they are today without Dio’s contributions in his first stint with the band, which brought them to a much wider audience.
Black Sabbath should have been inducted around 1995 (around the time Led Zep were inducted). Really late to induct them now. It's almost like an insult to them.
Ditto. Nirvana didn't even invent grunge, but they get treated as if they did. Black Sabbath created heavy metal.
ERIC GIBSON They didn't do anything the Ramones hadn't already done. The Ramones were just to early for recognition.
they didnt invent grunge, they were treated well because they wrote great music and changed the whole too music. there is alot more to why they were inducted than being a grunge band.
yeah
Led Zeppelin did more to create heavy metal.
After Deep Purple, Yes, Judas Priest, UFO, Scorpions, Thin Lizzy and Iron Maiden. But knowing the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, they're probably gonna induct the fuckin Backstreet Boys before Slayer
DP and Yes are in now.
ITS FUCKING SLAYER AND THEYRE RETIRING NOW REEEE
lets not even talk about Mötorhead..
The fact that Judas Priest still isn't in there.... It's disgusting.
You Know the RARHOF suck when Green Day is but Maiden and Priest aren't
“On any given day, the heavy genre might as well be subtitled music derivative of Black Sabbath” truest words ever spoken
James always gets me every time. Such an infinite well of emotion.
James Hetfield yes
James Hetfield crying is the manliest thing I've ever seen.
@Jack Walsh Bang!

I love hearing how much sabbath meant to him. Music is humanity’s greatest gift.

i don't know, Judas priest would've developed anyway. it would've jusdt been about a 3 year delay.
Maybe but Rob Halford was a huge Black Sabbath fan before Priest so like Lars said any metal or hard rock band can trace that back to Black Sabbath
@@LadyFairChildVideo Yeah, probably but I can't imagine life without Sabbath.
@@LadyFairChildVideo Judas would have sounded like a Zeppelin/Purple mix. Without Sabbath there would be no metal. Also Halford said it himself

Lars Ulrich may not be as good as Mike Portnoy. But he doesn't need to be better for the music Metallica makes.

I grew up with Ozzy, and Metallica, also.... Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin and so on
Judas Priest perfected it imo
Ozzy wasn't keen on the name heavy metal. Someone attached this to them years after the release of their first albums.
James is the man. Lars should stop talking so much.

So,Lars is supposed to have the kind of attitude he has.

Awesome. This is the reason I will buy another Black Sabbath shirt on Ebay.
James Hetfield the GOAT
Without Sabbath there shall have been No Metal..
I think they should've at least mentioned the late Ronnie James Dio
Sabbath is famous for their original line up.
+Amogh Harish (gadgetroid) nah not because of that its because posers inducted sabbath. or maybe Ronnie isn't in the building damn that man has the singing voice of God. r.I.p.
Amogh Harish - Umm... they were pretty fucking famous with Dio, too. Heaven and Hell outsold all other Sabbath albums combined within a few months of its release. I heard every damn song from the record on the radio. Eventually, some other Sabbath records surpassed H&H in sales, but at the time, that record resurrected a band that was limping along for a couple of years and releasing some of its weakest material. Dio gave them a new life and it could be argued that Sabbath wouldn’t be what they are today without Dio’s contributions in his first stint with the band, which brought them to a much wider audience.
rodrigo zepeda thank you! Hail DIO!
Phenomenal speech great job Lars and James 🤘🏻
why was dio not included here?
runeshark22 cuz Ozzy is real Sabbath
Dio was a very genaric singer that replaced the real OG, Ozzy
runeshark22 Sabbath without Ozzy, was not Sabbath.
@@mirraco323 I agree, ozzy was there to create that style. Dio came along after all the tracks had been laid.
james always has the fucking coolest and funniest stuff to say
