Black Sabbath are unique. No other Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame inductee can make the claim that all its original members grew up is such close proximity to each other. And no other Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame inductee is as widely acknowledged by peers, critics and fans as having given birth to a genre that is still as relevant, vibrant and global in its reach as Heavy Metal is to this day.Much has been made of the influence of the bands environment on the sounds they made when they first entered a rehearsal room together. On the Crossroads Of Sabbath tour you see this environment and learn about it during the period when the Sabbs called it home. The tour ends at The Barton’s Arms, a pub they frequented which is just across the road from the room where they first played together. The tour has been developed using original research material to accompany some of the stories you may recognise from the various biographies, autobiographies and documentaries about the band. A booklet to accompany the tour can also be purchased separately so that the tour can be undertaken independently. The booklet is a lovingly produced collectors artefact for fans of the band that may never be able to visit Birmingham to undertake the tour. The booklet is currently out of print. It is now possible to download a version of the tour absolutely free to your iPhone. This version of the tour is text based giving truncated versions of the live tour/fanzine commentaries. A google map function alongside images shows the route and locations. Use the button here to get to the Crossroads of Sabbath page of the app providers website.
