Original BLACK SABBATH Drummer On “Black Sabbath” - “It Seems Like Everything That Sucks In Our Lives Is Coming Out Right There When We're Playing That Lick That Loud”

MusicRadar has posted a brief Rhythm Magazine interview with original Black Sabbath drummer Bill Ward who talks about the band’s earth-shattering debut and the title track.

"I immediately picked up on the solemn-ness of the riff,” Ward remembers. “It is really powerful when it is being played quiet, it's very haunting. The first place that I went to was the toms, it just seemed the most natural thing to happen. Of course Tony brings out that volume and we all went there at the same time, it was quite strange really, we all knew to go to the same place at the same time. It's when we go with the lick, there's such a feeling of solidarity and union. It seems like everything that sucks in our lives is coming out right there when we're playing that lick that loud."
