Got the Black Sabbath gig in part because he had a PA. Hard to imagine how music would be different if he’d wanted a drum kit instead.
I’m glad he got to go out on his own terms and on a high note, after his farewell concert, which I hear was way better than anyone expected it to be. RIP to a legend.
Rev_12:9 And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.
Rev_12:12 Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time.
Rev_20:2 And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years,
Rev_20:10 And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever.
His farewell concert was basically a funeral before passing. It doesn’t get any more Black Sabbath than that.
RIP.
Probably jamming with Randy now.
