I mean maybe they were alive or something, but they didn’t compose “Blackened”.
Some things are just better.
I don’t know how far back you go but when I first heard the opening with the rain and all on the first Black Sabbath album I sat upright in my seat. I had never heard anything like it and I was hooked. And I have never done drugs or drank. That was 1970.
By the way I am Chris almost 79.
