Fun fact: Black Sabbath originally was supposed to be a Blues Rock Band but then the thing with iommis fingers happened Meaning Metal is just heavy and distorted blues
While the accident did help form his play style that had nothing to do with them moving away from the blues. The bands practice space was across the street from a cinema, then one day they were watching people go in and out of the theater while Black Sabbath starring Vincent Price was playing. Then then question was asked. if people like going to the movies to be scared why wouldn't they like to hear scary music?
@@zakkmylde1712 Eh not really Sabbath stuff from the 70’s was very bluesy specifically songs with Ozzy’s Just more darker and and sinister sounding Paranoid, Black Sabbath, Vol 4, Sabbath Bloody Sabbath all are really bluesy I mean the band basically was just the dark mirror image of Led Zeppelin.
@@LordBackuro what is the point you are trying to make? That Sabbath is a blues band? Just because the music is based off of blues principles in places does not make them a blues band.

Hendrix isnt a blues player?, he didnt even play blues to begin with, one flaw about hendrix playing blues was him not using feel. He just used big marshall stacks and distorted the hell out of it then plays a solo that just sticks to bends.
Robert Johnson played with a slide and an acoustic. Which was delta blues, you then get the Orleans or classic blues, you then get the blues from the great migration, which then became Chicago blues with artists like howlin wolf, then we had boogie woogie, then we had r&b and then we had hard rock

You didn't emulate any of the players and also do you really think bb king started in 1965 and ended in 1980? And what do you mean SRV was the last great bluesman? Maybe take some time and actually learn how to play their songs...
Popular years…hello! Did YOU see B B King on the charts under his own name anytime after 1980? (Not including his appearance on U2’s 1987 track When Love Came To Town, as HE was on THEIR song.) And, as far as his SRV comment, that is HIS opinion. Now, as far as actually learning their songs, COPYRIGHT CLAIMS, remember?
@@georgeprice4212 the what about him playing Johnny B. Goode? By your logic, he's already lost, except he's playing it in a different key, so it isn't detected. That's where your argument falls apart, he could have simply played the songs in a different key if he really wanted to.
@@georgeprice4212 and as far as I'm concerned, BB King was still selling out shows until the day he died, so I think you're probably wrong about that. And also, you aren't right about SRV. It's fact that he's not the last bluesman because if he is, then that means Kingfish isn't a bluesman.
@@georgeprice4212 also adding on to what I was saying about the player's songs, he didn't even have to learn their songs, he could have written licks in their styles, but he didn't. Definitely not the BB King one. He was playing too many notes. He wasn't known for playing very many notes, he played good notes.
Nah ..not Rob Johnson . Not that strumming pattern. And BB ... to many notes, not enough feel ..all you need to start is the root, and a great sound .. Then maybe a b7 ... and that's all ..
You need to go back to 1927, where the blues really began. Motherless Child written by Barbacue Bob in 1927. It was covered and released in Eric Clapton’s 1994 album From The Cradle.
You can’t play early blues without some slide. Too many influential players to name while giving the proper respect to each of them in a short. Each generation has had someone to help revive the blues. Let’s keep the tradition alive and experience living.

I own the entirety of Robert Johnson’s discography, and absolutely nothing he made sounds like that, even discounting the electricity.
Kinda sounds like They’re Red Hot I guess
Yeah he played Blind Willie Mctell - Southern can of mine
He did though.
What does it sound like
This is in fact “They’re Red Hot” by Robert Johnson. Blind Blake has a version too, but Johnson wrote it.
That's not how Robert Johnson played but nice try
It's really not even close

Yeah wtf record was he listing to?
@@AustinPierce7526 theyre red hot

... Jeff Healey

Eric clapton???

Damn😂😂😂😂
It's a song called they're red hot by Robert Johnson, it's a blues standard...
😂😂😂
ZZ Top and Stevie Ray Vaughan are my favorite. I love good ole Texas blues.

Also Elmore James, Lightnin Hopkins, Charlie Patton, and John Lee Hooker
