JOE METAL

 Thursday, October 16th, 2008 at 10:06am by

So how many Joes are involved in the McCain campaign, anyhow? Joe Sixpack, Joe the Plumber… what about Joe Metal? Doesn’t anyone care about his needs?

We do, that’s for damn skippy. So here’s a video to remind us why we’re all here in the first place, a video that I’m fairly certain we can all agree on. The first song from the first side of the first honest to Satan metal album ever. Whatever band you love or hate – none if it would exist if not for this. This is what makes us all the same, not what drives us apart. ‘Cause here at MetalSucks, we’re uniters, not dividers. Heh heh.

    That was cool. You don’t see many close-ups of Iommi’s finger “thimbles”, especially those old ones he made.

    Fucking great, almost 40 years(!) on and this still manages to be heavier then 90% of the metal that followed it, in my opinion at least.

    Joe SixPack isn’t watching the debates. He’s busy rocking out to Sabbath \m/

    Awesome. When I first heard this song, the last 1:30 or so was the reason I really started loving heavy metal.

    hey guys, it’s unrelated but i just found clips from 1986′s “Stars” by Hear n’ Aid/80′s metal’s “We Are The World” rip-off ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4MEEYYWUcLM ). if you check out the behind the scenes documentaries, there are definitely some gold moments like Geoff Tate’s looks while recording in the studio ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=giL2MZu5zUs at the 9:01 mark), and sweet shredding on the other one ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LWCZhOjS3QE , check out how douchebag-y Ted Nugent looked in this one at 5:45!). just a tip :-D.
