Rock N Roll

In an interview for the reunion tour of 1998, Bill Ward said he doesn't remember recording Heaven and Hell. He left the band shortly after to clean himself up. For awhile in the early 80's Geezer was the only non-Italian descent member of Black Sabbath, Vinnie Appice replaced Ward on drums.
Ronnie was the recipient of operatic training. I miss him.

If this and the others you posted is what rock and roll is about these days, then no surprise the genre has declined so significantly. The songs are just noise and I cant tolerate them one bit.
For what rock and roll is and should be truly about, let's listen to The Pot by Tool
Seriously? Where the fuck is the "2 and 4" back beat? That may be prog rock, some form of Goth, or maybe something else, but it sure ain't rock n' roll!
Here I quote the bard... (Bold for emphasis)
Rock and Roll Music
Song by
Chuck Berry
Just let me hear some of that rock and roll music
Any old way you choose it
It's got a back beat
You can't lose it
Any old time you use it
It's gotta be rock on music
If you wanna dance with me
If you wanna dance with me
I have no kick against modern jazz
Unless they try to play it too darn fast
And change the beauty of the melody
Until they sound just like a symphony
That's why I go for that rock and roll music
Any old way you choose it
It's got a back beat
You can't lose it
Any old time you use it
It's gotta be rock and roll music
If you want to dance with me
If you want to dance with me
I took my loved one over cross the tracks
So she can hear my man a wailin' sax
I must admit they have a rockin' band
Man, they were goin' like a hurricane
That's why I go for that rock and roll music
Any old way you choose it
It's got a back beat
You can't lose it
Any old time you use it
It's gotta be rock and roll music
If you wanna dance with me
If you wanna dance with me
Way down South they gave a jubilee
The jokey folks they had a jamboree
They're drinkin' homebrew from a water cup
The folks dancin' got all shook up
And started playin' that rock and roll music
Any old way you choose it
It's got a back beat
You can't lose it
Any old time you use it
It's gotta be rock and roll music
If you wanna dance with me
If you wanna dance with me
Don't care to hear 'em play a tango
I'm in the mood to dig a mambo
It's way to early for a congo
So keep a rockin' that piano
So I can hear some of that rock and roll music
Any old way you choose it
It's got a back beat
You can't lose it
Any old time you use it
It's gotta be rock and roll music
If you wanna dance with me
If you wanna dance with me
