One of the best albums of all time by one the best, heaviest rock bands to ever walk on this planet.
True.
Opinions are like assholes
heaviest on the planet?? 😂
@@rat_king2801 Read once again what I wrote, you ignorant.
@@rat_king2801what part of “One of” do you not understand? Lol
I'm from Birmingham and as a city I think we are pretty proud to be the home of Black Sabbath, the home of metal. In fact just this afternoon I watched The Birmingham Royal Ballet perform Black Sabbath The Ballet. It was fantastic and your video is the perfect end to my Sabbath fueled day.
crossroads to
And Priest
Ive come to realize massive industrialization and its underlying horror and hopelessness is what fueled that incredibly heavy music, it's not the sound that peaceful villages and pastoral scenes would inspire.
@@joejones9520 yes to some extent it really does sound like the city feels when you are travelling home in the dark after a long shift in a metal works and I speak from experience.
@@CeriGoffAnd to think that my father had the opportunity to relocate our family to Birmingham, but declined. So we remained in Cleveland, Ohio. Ah...what could have been. I hope to make it over there one day.
Hell yeah I have that album it was my uncles originally purchased in 1970s.
So lovely to see someone caring for these stunning buildings!
Yes! I am a big History person so I love to see people taking the effort to preserve their past!
We take good care of our historic buildings here in the UK especially if they are listed
@@WhiteEnglishWho is "we"? Are you a builder or a stonemason? Or do you make the decisions to preserve these buildings?
I would imagine that someone with your username is good at taking credit that they don't deserve. Bet you claim "we" won the war too when you weren't even alive.
You won't get out of great Britain without a chill in your spine. A haunting. You came. 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍🇬🇧
This is badass. More like this please. Pink Floyd ,
Led Zeppelin locations.
The Battersea Power Station from Pink Floyd's "Animals" album cover would be fun! 🐷
How about the moving pictures cover!
Boleskine house was the house of Aleister Crowley and Jimmy page
@@bobsacamano7653 Totally. Also Headley Grange where physical graffiti and Zeppelin IV where recorded
@@jevs1964That's the Ontario Parliament Building in Queen's Park, Toronto
Definitely worth checking out if in Toronto.
A photo of the church and cemetery would have made an interesting Black Sabbath album cover as well. Oh yes, the old "dead ringer" scenario, good one! Classic Celtic gothic imagery and beautiful scenery most definitely.
That's a truly magical place
That's cool that it still looks the same
If you guys go to Birmingham, there's a Sabbath bench and a big mural in the town centre!
Sir how you have captured the English gothic, graveyards, scenery is just amazing I don’t think I have ever seen the beauty and serenity that you have captured in every shot thank you for sharing.
One of Cliff Burton’s favorite bands, them and The Misfits. I went to Castro Valley to pay my respects to him yesterday!
Stunning. What a beautiful village! Showing the mill in person from their debut album is surreal...thanx for taking us here. Your shot was perfect! Stay safe. Happy Halloween!
Ozzy was my very first concert at age 16. The concert was the Bark at the Moon tour and I still have my concert ticket stub and shirt. Needless to say I couldn’t have seen a better show for my very first.
Happy Birthday to ME!!!
Thank you Grimm💜🖤
Beyond awesome video🤟
Happy Halloween 🦇
I always thought the person on the front cover was a young Ozzy Osbourne. What a wonderful location. Makes you wonder who on earth knew about this spot.
You are not alone in this...many do.
Same here 🤣

Hey! Do you realise that the church featured heavily in the 1976 film, 'The Eagle Has Landed?' Michael Caine stood in the church doorway talking to actor Treat Williams, who was playing a US Army Ranger officer. Mapledurham was used extensively in the film. Guess what? THE MILL was used too! They built a mock up mill and waterwheel directly in front of the original mill- as featured on the Sabbath gatefold! The film makers could not use the original water wheel for the scene that they wanted, so they built a mock up.
Really enjoyed this video. I have this VERY day taken delivery of, 'Black Sabbath,' on vinyl. What a superb album!
Did you know that the expression 'Dead Ringers' comes from the bell being attached to the grave just in case they were still alive? Obviously now the expression means 'to look exactly like someone else' ❤
No it's not and your explanation doesn't even make sense.
A simple Internet search reveals the truth.
No that's not true! it's actually... Saved by the bell.
A ringer is a horse substituted for another of similar appearance in order to defraud the bookies. This word originated in the US horse-racing fraternity at the end of the 19th century. The word is defined for us in a copy of the Manitoba Free Press from October 1882:
"A horse that is taken through the country and trotted under a false name and pedigree is called a 'ringer.'"
It has since been adopted into the language to mean any very close duplicate. As a verb, 'ring' has long been used to mean 'exchange/substitute' in a variety of situations, most of them illegal. From the same period is the term 'ring castors', meaning to surreptitiously exchange hats. Castors, or casters, were hats made from beaver fur. From the 20th century we have the Australian phrase, 'ring in the gray (or knob)', meaning to substitute a double-sided penny for a genuine one. Coming more up to date we have 'car ringing', which is the replacing of the identification numbers on a stolen car with those from a genuine (usually scrapped) vehicle.
So, that's ringer; what about dead? Dead, in the sense of lifeless, is so commonly used that we tend to ignore its other meanings. The meaning that's relevant here is exact or precise. This is demonstrated in many phrases; 'dead shot', 'dead centre', 'dead heat', etc.
Great video. One of my favourite albums. It's worth noting that this same water mill can be seen in the WW2 film The Eagle has Landed. There is an important scene in the film where a girl falls in to the river and a German soldier rescues her.. and it was filmed right there.
I saw Black Sabbath in concert in New York in 1971. Yes I am old LOL. Tuckey Buzzard and Grinderswitch were the opening acts.
I got to see Sabbath 15 times from 1997-2010!
Pantera opening for Sabbath was the best concert I’ve ever seen!
Got to see the original Black Sabbath 1976 in a little town called Madera California. They were three bands, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Black Sabbath and Rod Stewart and these were the good all days ticket price $6.50 and a year later Lynyrd Skynyrd plane went down in 1977
Black Sabbath are the godfathers of heavy metal ! Ozzy's voice combined with Tony's majestic riffs are just pure magic ! Thank you for taking us with you to this iconic places ! Maybe i will see them myself someday . Greetings from Germany
Fathers*
@@thumbscrews
Indeed.
I think Leslie West in Mountain had it covered!!
@@richarddouglas1712😂😂.
No fucking way, I cant believe you guys covered this, totally awesome!! I wonder if this will open up the door to more album cover locations...
Micheal and Jessica. I've been watching TH-cam since 2008. As the platform grew I have seen many channels fade away. Many surface and yet fade away after years. However, your channel is well deserving of being the top 10 TH-cam Channels of the world. I mean it. It's a bold statement, but I mean look at their editing for God's sake? The music the coverage. For us?
Please please please do an entire Grimme chapter on Rock album covers and their locations.
Hell yeah; Sabbath rocks! You two touring England is awesome. There is so much spooky and rare history. Great job, as always!💀👻👹🤡🎃
Agreed 💯💯💯 I wish I could visit!!!
Maple Durham Mill also features in the 1976 film the Eagle has landed. The scene were the German paratrooper rescues the little girl and then gets caught up in the millwheel that exposes him to be a German.
Michael and jessica enjoy your stay in our beautiful country and enjoy the beauty of Britain
Awesome video thanks for taking us along on your trip Ozzy rocks have a kitty name Ozzy Purrbourne
Welcome to England! The Mapledurham Watermill featured in an episode of Miss Marple: The Blue Geranium where a woman dies after being warned by a medium, which I think is kinda cool because Agatha Christie is very dark, full of murder, betrayal & deceit - not as cosy as people often assume! We love our Murder mysteries here in England! Very spooky setting!
The moustache and hair trend back then was majestic. Great album, too!
😱My child hood! Listening to this album BLARING from our neighbors garage while they drank beer 🍺🍻 n' fixed cars. 12 hours a day, EVERY DAY❗for 3 months 😂. Then the other neighbors practiced their own band @ 🌃 "MIDNIGHT SPECIAL" .......n' they were constantly battling volume n bass w/each other. 💪🎸🎼🎵. Then the "Black Sabbath" dudes, ... would each get in there low-rider 'Chevys' n' you'd have, 5 cars BLASTING "Black Sabbath" so, LOUD 📢 the neighborhood shook‼️. Tru Cali. childhood memory ❤
I LOVE that ALbUM cover design and layout ---- very creepy, and ominous.... It always creeped me out in my teeny Bopper days.... Love this mini-episode in the UK, GriMMs!.... Happy Halloween!..... :^)"""""""
Sounds hokey, but there is so much charm much of the old countryside and villages in England. Looks like you are loving it there. Can't blame you. Surprised you didn't try to pose Jessica as the model to re-create the album cover. Looking forward to more. Happy Halloween.
Thank you so much for visiting our country. You’re always welcome to stay! I hope that you have a truly Grimm adventure whilst you’re here. Stay safe!
Your videos with the back ground music is more relaxing for me than any asmr
Badass dude. The Father's of Heavy metal.
I'm a Sabbath fan from England always wondered where the picture was taken,,,,,great video,fan of the channel👍👍👍
Micheal and Jessica gonna rock it today ❤
Mapledurham is beautiful, glad you got to spend time there
Wouldn't be Heavy Metal without this band and album. I'm so jealous! Great video 📹
One of the things I love about Europe is, how old it is compared to America. So much history.
Looking forward to see what else you decide to dig up and film while across the pond.
So glad you guys are now going overseas.
" What is this that stands before me?" Well one of my favorite Grimm-O-Visions ever!
This is one of my favorite album covers of all time. I believe I bought this album the day it was released in the US (I visited record stres nearly every day back then and I bought the album the day I first saw it disaplyed in the record store). I knew nothing about the band. I had never head of them. I didn't even know if it was rock and roll. It could have been opera for all I knew. But that abum cover galvanized me the second I saw it. I bought that album on the strength of the album cover alone. I was not disappointed when I got home and put the record on. The atmospheric sound effects, the tritone guitar riff, Ozzy's dark, husky vocals, it all captivated me. I liked the band before that first song was over. Thank you so much for this. I have spent so many hours staring at that picture over the years. It was really fascinating to see the real location.
The image was on my TV as I listened to the album once and I saw so many trippy scary things while intoxicated. All cleverly put there on purpose I feel
One of the most important albums of all time.
Holy Grimm Life!!!! One of the best albums ever.. 😚
It’s a truly magnificent home and how gracious of the owners to allow you to film on their property I’d expect nothing better from genuinely humble people who appreciate the historical interest of their magnificent home
Thanks, Micheal! Awesome video. Hope you and Jessica are enjoying the "old country." One day I hopefully will make it to England.
Grimmlife in the UK.. overload... overload... dzzzzz.... 🤖💥💚🖤
Never grim when the grimms are about happy halloween 🎃 guys
I come from a Family of Massive Black Sabbath Fans since Sabbath made the scene. This was such a well done wonderful video of the location of where the first album photo was taken. What an incredible village! Absolutely gorgeous! Black Sabbath is the Greatest Metal Band that no other band has ever come close to and never will. Arizona Loves "Black Sabbath"
Best album! Very cool.
Bad ass you did Black Sabbath! I was raised on Sabbath and Ozzy!
Wizard anytime Up The Sabbath 🎤🎸🤘
That is beyond cool. I think their best album. I saw Black Sabbath in Virginia in 1996 I believe. That was the loudest concert ever! I lost some hearing in my right ear. I tried to get away from the speakers but it was impossible. But worth it 🤘🖤
always wanted to see this!.. thanks!.. as a kid "paranoid" was the first LP i ever bought. i saved for several weeks back then and LP was $3.95 in LA... i wore out "electric funeral" and "war pigs" back then (pre metal!) we called it acid rock and that was history for this kid🤟🏻🤟🏻🤟🏻
The definition of "iconic"
"Oh please God help me...."
Great presentation! Loved the scenery of old places and the cemetery 🪦
Happy Halloween!
Such a iconic location for classic rock and metal fans. Surprised Jessica didn't join him for this Grimm Adventure.
Welcome Michael and Jessica to the UK. Enjoy your stay. Brilliant from an old rocker. 👍🏻👍🏻🇬🇧👽
Great to see you both over here! Welcome. 😁
As you have noticed we restore most of our buildings everywhere, in every little village, town or city you will see scaffolding. We love our ancient history. I got the first Black Sabbath album when it was first released. I live in a 2000 year old Saxon hilltop town nestled between Stonehenge, and Glastonbury, home of myths and magic, and also the home of the best music festival in the world. You need to visit it, and also Whitby and Whitby Abbey, where Bram Stoker wrote and based a lot of Dracula. You will love all the Goths in Whitby and in Glastonbury.
I think all the best videos you have ever done are the ones made in England!! Happy Halloween! 👻☠💀😈
Yessssss! You know Michael I’ve been seeing more and more people comment on how you look like Ozzy Osborne! Love Black Sabbath! Thank you for another super adventure besties!!! 👻🎃❤️🦇💚🥰
Thank you for showing this Holy location. Sabbath Rules
Welcome to the England guys . I'am from Manchester in the North west of England
We take so much for granted living here. I love it when people like yourselves open our eyes to what we have.
beautiful gothic looking village, I luv old church, windmill and cemetery
You can't stop smiling in England ❤️✌️🏴
Merry Olde England! Lots of stuff to profile there, no joke.
Loving these videos from England. Such a rich & historic place, looks like you guys are having an awesome time!
Great mini adventure to the mill used for the cover of Black Sabbath's debut album. Which line up of Sabbath did you see in concert?
I grew up listening to Black Sabbath as both my brothers were really into heavy metal. I was born in Birmingham. UK & still live there. 🖤🤘🖤 I'm super excited that you're here. Enjoy all of your adventures. You'll wish you were staying longer & I think you will return as there's so much for you both to discover still after you've flown home. Enjoy it all!
I honestly thought this was a painting, had no idea it was a real place! But so far everything you have shown from England looks like a painting, I see why a lot of artists prefer Europe and the UK.
How exciting that you're here in England! Welcome both of you.. have a great time! XX
Pretty awesome you checked this place out. Thanks for sharing.
OMG, YESSSSS! This is awesome. Philipsburgh manor in Sleepy Hollow looks a bit like this house; my wife and I try to "reenact" the photo every year.
the creators of the art of metal none better than sabbath amasing group with two yes two Amasing vocalists thank you Grimm
I swear y’all kill it every time. It is almost like stepping back in time. I loved Black Sabbath too growing up. BTW love the jacket. Keep it up. You guys are fantastic. Stay safe and can’t wait for the next one. 😊
Cool that it still exists.
My favorite album and album cover!
Our grandson due in February will be named Ozzy. Some members of the family hate it but some of us love it 🥰
Great video, the church and water mill in maple Durham is also the location for the Hattie scene in The Eagle has landed war film .
Awesome!!! 😎 👍 🎃
My dad told me that he used to play that album when I was around a year old to put me to sleep. When I was older I often asked myself "How can this music put a kid to sleep?", then I tried it with my son, Anthrax's State of Euphoria was his favourite, he was usually asleep by the end of the first song, Be All End All. It really works.
I remember standing on line with my aunt for that album. The album was $2.00. Love you guys watch everyone of your videos. I was 10yrs old. So glad my aunt got me into all the great music 🎶.
I have a sh*t load of Sabbath records I’ve saved for the past 30 years! Always loved this cover.
The Wizard is one of those songs for me 🙌🏽
Wow really beautiful village. Thank you for sharing this ✌🔥🔥🔥
Quickies can be a good thing. Glad you're finding bandwidth and time to put out content while on your adventure.
So wicked!!! I'm a Black Sabbath fan! I've seen Ozzy twice @ Ozzfest!! You two visit the most incredible places!!! I want to go 😂😂😊. The cemetery is beautiful. I like looking at really old cemeteries. You do AMAZING narration and photography!!! I think you'd be great @ writing books!!! ✌️🕊️☮️🙂 What were some of the years you saw on the headstones? I bet they are very old!!!
As Black Sabbath fan, that was really cool!
I’m surprised you didn’t recreate the album cover photo with your girl.
Rock on! 🤘🏼
Thank you!!!! That’s one of my favorite albums of all time…. I have it framed in my home! Such beautiful scenery…
I am so happy you made this video....SABBATH is my favorite group!!!!!
The founding fathers of heavy metal!
Thanks ! That was awesome, I can easily imagine the church & cemetery also as a fitting Black Sabbath first cover. (maybe even more fitting) 🦇🪦⚰🎃☠
Thanks for another great Grimm Great Britain Adventure.
These England videos are kicking ass bro...
That’s WILD. Amazingly Ozzy said Sabbath played no part in picking that image as the cover, but it was absolutely perfect.
So why was that location chosen?
@@lindaellen808 the art department at Vertigo probably has a better answer.
I was hoping we'd get some Sabbath content during the Boris Karloff video...never disappoint 🤘
Awesome!!!!! 🎃🤘🎸
