Paranoid Born in 30 Minutes | Music News
Description
Black Sabbath’s “Paranoid” was born in just 30 minutes, written to pad their second album — and it became a global anthem. Ozzy and Geezer initially hated Tony Iommi’s riff, thinking it sounded too much like Led Zeppelin… but Ozzy later called his wife to say they’d written a hit. The song soared to 4 in the UK charts in ’70, and Paranoid itself hit 1 — their only top album of the decade. A legendary moment captured in raw footage on their YouTube channel.
