"Heavy metal is a universal energy -- it's the sound of a volcano. It's rock, it's earth shattering. Somewhere in our primal being we understand." - Billy Corgan
I enjoy this Substack because it breaks down how bands like Black Sabbath changed rock by adding darker themes and sounds. It makes the history of music interesting and shows how it still impacts music today.
I liked this substack because it gets into deeper explaining about the changed rock bands. it was also interesting to learn where the black sabbath came from which is big in representing pop culture.
Its so cool to learn where amazing bands like black sabbath came from. These bands are such a staple and have had a huge effect on pop culture. This substack really made me think about the culture of heavy metal and how interesting that people find comfort in it sometimes.
Scoobert Doobert explores the raw, transformative power of heavy metal, comparing it to the eruption of a volcano. He argues that heavy metal transcends mere music, serving as a profound energy that resonates deeply with the human experience.
The way Black Sabbath had influenced and really change rock music is really great I love the way he helped shape rock and change it for the better. The way Tony bounced back from his injury truly is amazing and impowering.
Clearly love the music and that comes through in a way that makes other people excited too. From Tony’s injured fingers to Rob Halford coming out these human moments give the history depth. I enjoyed learning about the origins of black sabbath.
I like heavy metal and it will always be special to me, but I don’t listen to it all the time. I enjoy the energy, but sometimes it’s a bit too much for every day. Loud music can be great, but not always. Still, I really respect the style. It’s interesting how different artists and bands helped create the sound. Black Sabbath had a big influence—they made rock music darker and helped shape heavy metal. And it’s really inspiring that the guitarist lost the tips of his fingers but made fake ones so he could keep playing.
Somehow the explanation of the Beatles breakup leaving the rock genre leader-less, how some bands kept developing things like prog or psychedelic rock but metal returning to its roots, makes me think of grief. Not knowing how to move forward, so you go back. Fitting for a genre so steeped in the dark and horror-like!
I found this Substack very interesting because it goes in depth on heavy metal and how it was able to thrive in the music scene. The impact Black Sabbath brought is very cool because the experimental things they did were able to shape heavy metal as well.
I love seeing the darker side of music. It is also so cool that Black Sabbath added those darker notes which people loved and would pay money for, to get that feeling of being scared.
It was really cool learning about how horror got mixed into rock music to give us the dark eerie songs and those vibes you get from them. I enjoyed this since I also listen to Black Sabbath so knowing their impact on rock gives me a new perspective on them as a band.
After reading this substack, I can now see that heavy metal’s raw energy and aggressive soundscapes are unmatched in the music world. Heavy metal isn’t the type of music I listen to but I think it definitely should be more appreciated.
