Talk:Sabotage (Black Sabbath album)

message: There is a reference to a Beastie Boys album in 1994. I'm pretty much sure that the name of the album is Ill Communication and "Sabotage" was the hit single from this album. 203.166.96.239 01:41, 26 Jun 2004 (UTC)

thread_title: Sabotage (Beastie Boys album)

message: I find the talk of the album being considered 'the beginning of Sabbath's decline' far too opinionated.  Sabotage is my personal favorite Sabbath album, and that of many other Sab fans that I've talked to.  I changed it to sound less opinionated.
One may be able to back up just the opposite of that opinion.  James Hetfield has repeatedly listed Symptom of the Universe as one of his favorite songs, and cited Sepultura's cover of it as the reason why Metallica did not contribute to Nativity In Black.

replies: text: I'm not sure that's a good idea. "Am I Going Insane?", "Hole in the Sky", and "Symptom of the Universe" were released as singles, they're even included in the infobox at the bottom of the page, but there's no mention of them in this article. Even back in 2006 it was accepted practice to have separate articles for single releases. -Ashley Pomeroy (talk) 16:41, 22 May 2008 (UTC)

message: ive heard some call this album one of the earliest examples of progressive metal, should there be a note of that in the article?--Krautukie (talk) 16:21, 25 April 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: It would be OK if it were correct. "Heard some call" isn't a reliable source. It has some Rick Wakeman contributions. But the result is Rick Wakeman playing 'heavy metal' with Black Sabbath as opposed to Black Sabbath altering their style any to fit in with Rick Wakeman's contributions.

replies: text: yeah obviously the 'heard some call' is weasely, but some legitimate sources could be found to substantiate it--69.81.91.18 (talk) 22:25, 26 April 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Progressive Metal

message: On the page for this album, it says Don't Start (Too Late) is 49 seconds. But when I looked for a video to go along with the song on YouTube, it listed the running time as 9:49. Is this a mistake by the video's creator for the song/video to be so long, or is the listing on wiki wrong? What's the right time?????70.110.242.249 (talk) 17:27, 28 June 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: How long are the songs?

message: I've tried several times to expand the music and lyrics section by giving a brief description of each song, as well as a short description of the band's legal problems during this time period - which is cited by the bandmembers as the reason the songs and lyrics were so "angry" sounding.
At first, my comments were deleted because they were too opinionated - so I tried on each subsequent occasion to use more general, less opinionated, terms - but to no avail.
I think I'm just on some sort of black-list that automatically deletes my edits.

thread_title:  My edits keep getting deleted by the moderator 

message: Both "Hole in the Sky" and "Am I Going Insane (Radio)" should have their own articles. Both had frequent airplay and the latter is featured on many best of's. They also both were released as singles and what makes Symptom Of The Universe any more deserving than these two? It makes the album also look less important than it actually was. Even if you don't give "Hole in the Sky" an article, don't you think "Am I Going Insane (Radio)" is kind of vital to have one? --Mrmoustache14 (talk) 01:08, 25 August 2012 (UTC)
thread_title: More Articles

message: In the "Track listing" section, the article reads "all lyrics by Geezer Butler."  This does not agree with the album credits which state "All songs written/arranged by Black Sabbath."  While it is widely known that Terence "Geezer" Butler wrote most of the Ozzy-era lyrics, I have never seen credit for lyrics attributed solely to Butler on any of these early albums or published sheet music.  If the author or editor has a source for this information, please cite it.  71.178.90.176 (talk) 02:22, 4 July 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: It's a general assumption that Butler wrote all the lyrics but we have to go by what official sources say. I edited the section to credit all music and lyrics simply to Black Sabbath. ChakaKongtalk 03:04, 4 July 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  All Lyrics Credited to Butler 

message: The article says Bill Ward sings lead vocals on "Blow on a Jug", but Ozzy Osbourne does in fact sing the lead vocals.  Bill Ward plays the piano and sings scat vocals, in the background.  Can this article be changed to show the truth on who sings the leads in the hidden track?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dkf12 (talk • contribs) 04:34, 5 October 2021 (UTC)

message: I have removed the section of the unsanctioned documentary. The sources added link to a page of the makers of the documentary and the other to IMDB.  I found no other sources reviewing or mentioning in detail anything about this documentary, besides listings and mentions on forums.  Hence, notability as is required for inclusion on Wikipedia is not shown. bigar 07:16, 21 August 2022 (UTC)
