On the couch this week: a two-minute metal masterpiece that changed the course of music history. We’re diving into Paranoid by Black Sabbath — a song that was literally written as filler... and ended up inventing heavy metal. Ozzy Osbourne's vocals, Tony Iommi’s detuned riffing, Geezer Butler’s dark lyricism, and Bill Ward’s thunder — all packed into one urgent, chaotic, sonic punch. We explore the birth of metal, the psychology of paranoia, and the strange poetry behind a song that sounds like a panic attack in slow motion. And yes — we pay tribute to the Prince of Darkness himself. RIP Ozzy Osbourne – one of rock’s most unforgettable voices and unkillable spirits.
