Tony Iommi & Bill Ward were in a band called Mythology (which played it's last gig on Sat Jul 13, 196
, and Geezer Butler with Ozzy was in a band called Rare Breed. Long story short, these groups broke up and the lads hooked up in 1968 to form a new band called The Polka Tulk Blues Band.
During this time of the band's history, they had a few names. They were known as the Polka Tulk Blues Band (at some point then, they were a six piece band, too), then just Polka Tulk, and the name that most people tend to associate them with in the 60's, Earth Sabbath played a lot of blues back then, and did the club circuit thing while touring as Earth. That led to one of the most well known stories from this era.. Apparently, there was another band touring England with the name of Earth as well, and that led to a club booking "Black Sabbath Earth" when they meant to book the other band, which played music that was NOTHING like our lads play. Led to a very confused band and audience. It was from that gig that led the band to change their name to something that would definitely NOT be confused with something else, hence the name Black Sabbath was born.
Legend has it that Geezer Butler picked the name of the band after seeing it on a movie theatre marquee, thinking it sounded doomy & gloomy - that kind of thing. (I'm paraphrasing there). Seems to have worked, given the following they've had over the years.
donc apparemment, ils ont choisi l'appelation Balck Sabbath début 69
après quand je disais que Black sabbath n'existait pas, ça voualit dire qu'au mieux c'était un groupe embryonnaire... Ce qu'ils étaient fin 68. Fallait bien faire rentrer des radis, comment voulais tu que Lommi saches qu'il faisait parti d'un groupe fondateur du hard rock, futur influence de tout un tas de metalleux... hein, c'est pas madame soleil
!
D'ailleurs, cétait assez courant d'enregistrer 1 albums en moins de mois à l'époque.
Par contre je savais pas qu'il avait fait parti de Jethro tull, c'était une pige ou il faisaient parti du groupe à un moment donné?
