Black Sabbath: Rock n Roll Hall of Fame Class of 2006




Black Sabbath emerged from the working class factory town of Birmingham, England. Originally, they were another blues-rock act, but decided to distinguish themselves by dipping into the occult. Ozzy Osbourne figured people paid money for horror movies, so why not provide horror rock.

Drug use led to Ozzy's removal. They replaced him with Rainbow vocalist Ronnie James Dio in 1979.




They experienced rotating lineups throughout the late 80s and into the 90s.



The originals reunited in 1997 for a live album. As of 2013, they are touring and recording with Ozzy.
