Product Description
During the seventies, David Tangye and Graham Wright were part of the Black Sabbath crew and they have the stories to prove it. As the group grew in fame and notoriety, incidents of bad behavior mounted alarmingly. Whether it's Geezer's lyrical journeys into the underworld or the gun-obsessed Ozzy Osbourne at home in Atrocity Cottage, this is Sabbath as you've never known them before. A real-life Spinal Tap, this is a warm, funny tribute to four mates from Birmingham who became the biggest heavy rock band in the world.

This book is definitley not a must read. It talks mostly about the roadies and not the members of Black Sabbath. I would definitley pass on this one.
Hi there folks, I am new to Amazon so please bear with me. I would just like to say that I read this book and was so impressed with it, that I wanted to let other folks know about it.
I have been a fan of the original Black Sabbath for many years, and first saw them live in Kansas City (Soldiers & Sailors Memorial Hall) way back in the seventies.
They were fantastic, and brought the house down.
But time moves on, and I still play all the old favorites to death; Hole in the Sky, N.I.B., Black Sabbath etc, etc.
This book brought loads of memories flooding back to me from my ‘heady’ Collage days, I just could not put this book down and read it in one sitting, you just seem to feel the vibe of the day from the Authors writtings.
Great book, great story & photos, very well written.

This is an entertaining book,but I would mainly recommend it for Black Sabbath fans only.As it states on the cover it is unauthorized.Although there are some good early photos of the band the text is made up of personal reminiscences and therefore is not very objective.All in all,it’s a good book,but just don’t purchase it for the teenage Ozzy fanatic.I happen to be a major Black Sabbath fanatic in my late thirties and the reason I got this was because I want all the information that I can get on the group.I love Black Sabbath in all its incarnations and am offended by those who say that the “Ozzy years” were the best.I’m really looking forward to seeing the Ronnie James Dio line-up on the road next year.’Nuff said.
This book grabs you and won’t let go. I never found it to be boring or slow at any point. A great read for any Black Sabbath fan unless you prefer the post Ozzy years. Are there really any of you out there?
what’s up with the paperback release of this?? – was supposed to be released in March – now it “ships in 1 to two months”?? – where is it shipped from – hell?
