Question / Help Ozzy & Black Sabbath Back To the Beginning age rating for UK cinemas?

7 Upvotes

I've been planning to take my younger sibling to the film as we are both Ozzy ane Sabbath fans and fans of many of the bands who were also there that day, all I can see in google is the AI overview says 18 but then as I scroll down some sites say 15, some say 18 and the cinema I'm planning to see it in says to be confirmed, which worries me as my younger sibling isn't 18, I just want to ask if anyone knows what the age rating their local cinema shows so I have an idea and can book it. Thanks.

Discussion Iommi - Ozzfest 2027

18 Upvotes

Do you think Iommi will be booked to play the upcoming Ozzfest?

I don't think he will be, purely because Jorn's voice and the new album is very reminiscent of Dio. The likelihood of them doing a couple of a few of Dio-era tracks would be higher than them doing Ozzy-era. Sharon wouldn't allow that obviously. Iommi also always seemed happy to not have to play the Ozzy stuff any chance he'd get.

I believe Iommi will do one or two of their own gigs or a festival or two, but not Ozzfest

Discussion I'm currently listening to the original 1986 Intercord CD rip of Paranoid, and...HOLY SHIT!

29 Upvotes

This the best-sounding version of Paranoid, hands down, no contest. I'm not exaggerating, guys. This is the best I've ever heard this album! All my life I thought I knew my Sabbath, but it's great to be humbled every once in a while, and realize that you know nothing, really. What a surprise this has been to me. I've never heard a version of this legendary album that sounds this stupidly good. I've got plenty of copies to compare: the 2016 Super Deluxe, the 1996 castle, the 1987 WB CD, and the 2009 Sanctuary. I tell you guys, NONE of these other remasters/ reissues can measure up to the 1986 Intercord. It's got the only version of the song "Paranoid" where you can really hear Geezer's bass in all its swampy glory! The drums sound tremendous, and there's so much dynamics to the guitars, the vocals, and the overall sound. It's got air for days and you can just get lost in the atmosphere. It really feels as if the band is playing right in front of you.

For the longest time I thought the 2016 remaster was the best this album has ever sounded on digital, but today my opinion has changed. The 2016 sounds just OK compared side by with the 1986 Intercord. I never realized that the album COULD sound this good. It puzzles me why they had to remaster it multiple times instead of just keeping the 1986 original master because it's perfect just as it is. They got it absolutely right the first time around. If it ain't broke, don't fix it! Compared to the 1986 Intercord, all subsequent remasters have Geezer's bass toned way down. Here, his bass sounds so alive, powerful, enveloping, overwhelming -- as it should. For Sabbath, more bass is always better. Why they had to neuter the bass in all the subsequent remasters, especially on track 2, I will never know. This experience has reaffirmed for me that new/ modern does not always mean better. Older CDs may surprise you just how good they can sound!

Too bad the Intercord CD is virtually impossible to find now. I couldn't find any copy on discogs that is available for shipping to my country. And so I had to resort to soulseek to get my fix. Thankfully, there are several folks sharing a copy there. I was stunned right away on first listen. Like I already said earlier, the most drastic improvement is in the drum and bass. But I can never overstate how great Bill's drums sound here. Every thud hits so hard you can feel it resonate in your bones. I've never experienced his drumming on this album hitting me with this much impact before. It really is eye-opening. Sometimes it takes optimal sound for the music to really reach its highest potential for bliss.

The only drawback for this version of the album is that there are minor tape dropouts in Iron Man. However, it's such a small glitch compared to how beautifully and faithfully this edition presents this classic album. I've found it, guys. I've found the holy grail of the digital versions of Paranoid!

One of their best fucking albums back to back. I love this one so much. I’ve worn out vinyl copies back in the day. It was the last good Sabbath Album of the 70’s. Start to finish it satisfies. Sabbath at their prime.
