I've never seen any episodes of the "Classic Albums" documentary series, but when they did a doc on the
Black Sabbath classic
Paranoid, I had to check out the DVD. The album is one of the greatest albums of all time, no question, and deserving of being featured on the series. But as long as
Ozzy Osbourne,
Tony Iommi,
Geezer Butler and
Bill Ward were being interviewed, it's too bad that they didn't do a full on documentary on the band. Who knows, maybe someone will soon...
But the doc is definitely cool, although there weren't any real revelations. All four Sabs are interviewed, as well as some journalists, some people who worked with Sabbath at the time, and Henry Rollins, who always has cool stuff to say. Tony, Geezer and Bill show how they came up with some of their respective parts to their songs, which is fun. I'd love to see them do more Sabbath docs, and I'm looking forward to checking out some of their other DVDs.
