During the seventies, David Tangye and Graham Wright were part of the Black Sabbath crew and they have the stories to prove it. As the group grew in fame and notoriety, incidents of bad behavior mounted alarmingly. Whether it's Geezer's lyrical journeys into the underworld or the gun-obsessed Ozzy Osbourne at home in Atrocity Cottage, this is Sabbath as you've never known them before. A real-life Spinal Tap, this is a warm, funny tribute to four mates from Birmingham who became the biggest heavy rock band in the world.

Rating: - Cool Black Sabbath Book.
Hi there folks, I am new to Amazon so please bear with me. I would just like to say that I read this book and was so impressed with it, that I wanted to let other folks know about it.
I have been a fan of the original Black Sabbath for many years, and first saw them live in Kansas City (Soldiers & Sailors Memorial Hall) way back in the seventies.
They were fantastic, and brought the house down.
But time moves on, and I still play all the old favorites to death; Hole in the Sky, N.I.B., Black Sabbath etc, etc.
This book brought loads of memories flooding back to me from my 'heady' Collage days, I just could not put this book down and read it in one sitting, you just seem to feel the vibe of the day from the Authors writtings.
Great book, great story & photos, very well written.

Rating: - Sabbath sucky Sabbath
This book is definitley not a must read. It talks mostly about the roadies and not the members of Black Sabbath. I would definitley pass on this one.
Rating: - It's The Real Thing.
There seems to be quite a few publications around now relating to Black Sabbath in all their varying line-ups. I must admit I have not had chance to read them all. The main ones I have read are Gary Sharpe Young's 'Never Say Die' a fantastic account mainly of Black Sabbath after Ozzy Osbourne had made his exit, also Martin Popoffs great 'Doom Let Loose' which is penned in Popoff's own inimitable style.
But as for "How Black Was Our Sabbath; An unauthorised view from the crew", this is clearly in a different dimension altogether from all the rest, and covers the one and only original band line-up.
Here we have a couple of old school roadies, obviously not too burned out as the excesses of the 1970's that have claimed many before them.
I found the book a real eye-opener and a real page turner, in style, content, and delivery.
The book somehow transports you back to the ... Read More
Rating: - Entertainment for Sabbath fans only
This is an entertaining book,but I would mainly recommend it for Black Sabbath fans only.As it states on the cover it is unauthorized.Although there are some good early photos of the band the text is made up of personal reminiscences and therefore is not very objective.All in all,it's a good book,but just don't purchase it for the teenage Ozzy fanatic.I happen to be a major Black Sabbath fanatic in my late thirties and the reason I got this was because I want all the information that I can get on the group.I love Black Sabbath in all its incarnations and am offended by those who say that the "Ozzy years" were the best.I'm really looking forward to seeing the Ronnie James Dio line-up on the road next year.'Nuff said.
