      Black Sabbath war eine der ersten Bands, die den Musikstil, der heute als „Hard& Heavy“ oder „Metal“ bekannt ist, in den frühen 70er Jahren geprägt hat. Songs wie „Paranoid“ gehören noch immer zum Standardrepertoire eines jeden beginnenden Gitarristen. Das alles könnte Vergangenheit sein, wenn nicht Frontman John „Ozzy“ Osbourne mit der MTV-Serie „The Osbournes“ späten Kultstatus erreicht hätte. Steve Rosen zeichnet in seinem Buch „Black Sabbath“ liebevoll die wechselhafte Geschichte der Band und ihrer Mitglieder nach. Ebenfalls zu finden ist eine detaillierte Darstellung der Instrumente, Verstärker und Zubehör, die von den Musikern im Laufe der Zeit gespielt wurden. Vervollständigt wird das Buch durch eine Darstellung von „The Osbournes“ sowie einem Vorwort von John Osbourne selbst.
