Those of Dave Grohl They found themselves in the best of circumstances to play the song, given that their concert was in Birmingham, United Kingdom, which is the hometown of the band that created heavy metal.
“Let me say it: Geezer Butler, from Black Sabbath”Grohl said to introduce the bassist, as can be seen in the video of the performance.
“So why not? Let’s do a song with Geezer? What do you say Chris [Shiflett, guitarras]?
In addition to “Paranoid,” Grohl played a solo version of Led Zeppelin’s “Stairway to Heaven”in addition to playing a medley in which they sounded “Eruption” by Van Halen, “Sabotage” by Beastie Boys, “Blitzkrieg Bop” by Ramones, “Whip It” by Devo and “March Of The Pigs” by Nine Inch Nails.
Is Black Sabbath coming back?
Geezer Butlerhas been open to the idea of the band returning to offer one last concert with its entire original lineup.
The idea came to him a few days ago, Ozzy Osbournestating that he would be delighted if the English offered one last show with Bill Ward to the battery. The artist ended up not being part of the Birmingham natives’ retirement tour, which took place between 2011 and 2017, due to a contract “unreasonable”.
Now, Butler has been the one to join Osbourne’s desire to offer one last Black Sabbath show with those who started it. In new statements to SiriusXM (via NME), the bassist has stated that he has spoken with Osbourne and that they have “reached an agreement” to carry out this well-deserved final farewell.
“Of course there is interest on my part, but there is a big ‘but’: we would have to talk about it with Bill Ward. “Everyone wants to do it but I don’t know if he’s capable of doing it.”
“Ozzy was hoping to finish it all next year at Aston, at Aston Villa’s stadium in Birmingham. I’m definitely willing to do it, to finish everything. Ozzy and I have agreed, but I’m not sure [lo que piensa] nobody else”.
Butler has also been asked if Ward would be willing to join the band for a recording session: “I don’t believe it. Maybe I do not know. I mean, the way technical things happen these days, maybe a couple of songs, but who knows? We wouldn’t have to travel. We wouldn’t all be in the studio together at the same time. So it could be done that way, maybe.”
