The later albums have some real highlights; even turkeys like Never Say Die (the era when Van Halen as their opening act showed them up, per legend) have songs like Johnny Blade that are underrated.

Sabbath of course had problems with hard drugs like cocaine along with their usual abuse of alcohol and tetrahydrocannabinol.

One time, Ozzy recounted in an interview that people used to say things like this during his first solo tours: “Okay, Ozzy’s here; just fill up the bathtub and give him a straw.”
