On the note of Black Sabbath covers, I really love this one of "Changes" by Charles Bradley. Also, the story of why he chose to sing the song is just heartbreakingly beautiful... it puts the performance on a whole other level.

Right!!?? It's incredible. I love it so much. 💚

And I'm glad you pointed out the guitar too, cause his voice is definitely freaking amazing and takes center stage, but the accompaniment with just one guitar makes it feel even more personal and impactful. With so few instruments, it really captures the passion in his voice and underlines the vulnerability of the message he is communicating.

Anywho, appreciate ya chiming in, I'm so glad you dig this one too!

This freaking rocks hard! I'm digging it. 🤘

I really like the epic droning vocals and sludgey guitars. Such a cool take on the original! They even throw in the Iron Man riff!!

Side note: the album title "The Origin of the Feces" is freaking hilarious. That one brought out the child in me, haha!

Type O Negative is one of my favorite bands and Black Sabbath was one of the first bands I met in high school, so this cover is a passion's union. Also when I met the album "The Origin of Feces" with the original censored cover I was shocked and thought it was an amazing idea.

Ooooo, this gives me an idea! I'm gonna do a version of Music Monday for best album titles... maybe covers too. Might even have to bust that out next week!

The "Summer Breeze" cover they did in that classic dirge style is another classic track.

One of the funniest things i've ever seen is the After Dark DVD with the band commentary, they are absolutely fricking hilarious as a band, such a tragedy we lost Peter Steele.

Summer Breeze is another great one! I also have watched After Dark with the band commentary and loved every moment. Peter Steele was a giant genius.
